Around these parts, the tenor saxophonist James Brandon Lewis is best known for his work with the Messthetics, the jazz-rock trio featuring Fugazi’s rhythm section. But like many jazz artists, he’s way too prolific to be contained to one lane. Just two months ago, Lewis’ quartet released the spiritually charged Omni. Now he’s already back to announce another new LP.
Today, Marshall are expanding the collaboration with another trio of limited-edition releases which draw from “the cosmic imagery, exploration of space, and distinctive use of colour woven throughout Jimi Hendrix’s music, art and creative world.”
The first product is a new edition of the foldable on-ear Marshall Major V headphones. These are branded on the inner headband to celebrate the anniversary, with a swirling oil-on-water purple and black finish used on the ear cups.
The next product is a new entry to Marshall’s popular Emberton III portable speaker range and it also features the purple and black colour scheme. There’s a silver all-seeing eye on the top of the speaker and it also has purple LEDs. The silicone sleeve has been hand-dipped using a water transfer print, so every unit produced is unique.
The final product of the new trio is a portable JMH Studio amp. It also features the oil-on-water design and is said to deliver “expressive cleans and deep blues textures to expansive, harmonically rich, and searing amplified” audio.
It’s made from plywood and wrapped in black Tolex and features silver beading detailing the dials, logo, handle, grille and back panel.
Janie Hendrix, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix and sister of the iconic guitarist says: “The story of Jimi and Marshall has always been personal to me because I first heard it from my dad, Al Hendrix.
“Dad was there and shared those memories with me, so I carry that story only one degree from its source. Jimi was always searching for a sound that did not yet exist, pushing beyond what anyone thought an electric guitar could do.
“Marshall gave him the power and freedom to turn those bold ideas into a sound the world had never heard before. Sixty years later, that connection between Jimi and Marshall still speaks to new generations of musicians who are pushing creative boundaries and searching for their own sound.”
Two years after the release of their IX album, German power metal collective Dawn Of Destiny is now ready to return with the follow-up. Entitled Ashes Over Tomorrow, it will be set free on October 30th, 2026. Read more…
Kitahrah Releases Emotional Acoustic Cover of Evanescence’s “My Immortal”

Acoustic artist Kitahrah unveils a deeply personal rendition of “My Immortal,” arriving September 26, 2025. Originally made famous by hard rock powerhouse Evanescence , Kitahrah’s version draws inspiration specifically from Dayseeker’s haunting interpretation , bringing a stripped-down acoustic approach to one of alternative rock’s most emotionally resonant songs.
For Kitahrah, “My Immortal” is more than simply a cover. The song has been a part of her life since childhood, when its haunting melody and unmistakable sense of sadness first captured her attention.
“As a child, I’d listen to the song and wonder about the sadness and longing in Amy’s voice,” Kitahrah explains. “As I grew older, the lyrics started to have more meaning.”
That evolving connection became the foundation for her own interpretation of the song. While “My Immortal” can evoke many different emotions and experiences, Kitahrah was particularly drawn to the themes of grief, death, loss, and longing that have resonated with listeners for generations.
Taking cues from the emotional weight of both Evanescence’s original and Dayseeker’s version, Kitahrah sought to capture those same feelings while putting her own vocal personality and emotional delivery at the forefront.
“With that, I feel that my emotional delivery has improved since Homesick , and I’m rather proud of that,” she says.
The result is an intimate acoustic performance that places the emotional core of “My Immortal” front and center. Rather than relying on a massive arrangement, Kitahrah allows the song’s melody, lyrics, and vocal performance to carry the weight, creating a vulnerable interpretation that feels both familiar and distinctly her own.
“My Immortal” by Kitahrah will be available September 26, 2025.
