As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has publicly reflected on the turbulent period that unfolded around his birthday last November—a month that saw the band’s then-lineup collapse, personal controversies intensify, and disturbing home security footage circulate online. The fallout led to another complete reshuffling of the group’s roster, with former members later detailing the circumstances that caused their exit. Lambesis, who famously served prison time after attempting to have his then-wife murdered in 2013, has since relaunched the band with an entirely rebuilt lineup. Now 45, he used his birthday week (November 21st) to look back on the emotional…
The iconic nü-metal-laden soundtrack for the 2002 vampire film Queen Of The Damned is getting a new life on red vinyl, set for release on January 2nd via Rhino Records. The film, an adaptation of the Anne Rice novel, starred Aaliyah and Stuart Townsend, but the soundtrack has its own legendary status in the metal and alternative community. The album notably marked KORN frontman Jonathan Davis’s first foray into film scoring, collaborating with Richard Gibbs. Due to label-related contractual restrictions, Davis was unable to perform his own vocals on the tracks. Instead, he enlisted several iconic artists, including the late…

The Vans Warped Tour will broaden its footprint next year, pushing beyond the U.S. for its latest run of destination-style summer festivals.

Vitriol’s turbulent year has taken another wild turn, as nearly the entire touring lineup reportedly walked out mid-tour—leaving frontman and founding guitarist Kyle Rasmussen stranded at a gas station in Vermont. The dramatic exit was revealed by guitarist Keith Merrow, who joined Vitriol earlier this year alongside bassist Brett Leier and drummer Andy Vincenzetti. According to Merrow, all three musicians collectively quit the tour on November 24th, staging what he called a “mass exodus.” Merrow posted a blistering message on social media, claiming the walkout was prompted by what he described as Rasmussen’s anger issues and “cowardly and weak outbursts.”…

Alongside the announcement, the band also teased their next full-length record. According to a press release, Amon Amarth are preparing to unleash a new album in late 2026 — described as “carved from salt and steel, echoing across oceans, and sonically barbaric.” For now, details remain under wraps, but…
