Joseph Nash plays guitar in the London art-rock band Blue Bendy, but he also heads up a project called Dying 4, mixing together woozy, art-damaged emo with UK dance genres like garage and bassline. They’ll drop their debut EP Perish Songs two months from now. Nash has this to say about the origins of his peculiar style:

Canadian rock icons Rush have postponed their June 30 and July 2 performances at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, after bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee was diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis.

The July 2 concert had already been rescheduled once. It was originally set for June 24 before production delays related to travel and border issues forced the band to move the date.

In a statement shared on social media on Tuesday, June 30, Rush explained the situation to fans.

“To our fans, we are deeply sorry to share that we must postpone our June 30 and July 2 shows.

“Geddy has been diagnosed with laryngitis and bronchitis. After being evaluated by his doctors, he has been advised that he needs additional time to rest and recover before returning to the stage.

“This is incredibly disappointing for all of us. We know many of you have made travel plans and have been counting down the days to these shows.

“Please know this decision was not made lightly. After more than 50 years of touring, we’ve always believed that if we’re going to step on stage, we owe you the very best performance we can give — and right now, that simply isn’t possible.

“We’re grateful to everyone involved for helping us quickly find new dates to celebrate together.

“The Sunday June 30 show has been rescheduled for Saturday July 11.

“The Thursday July 2 show has been rescheduled for Monday July 13.

“All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates.

“If you are unable to attend, refund information will be available from your original point of purchase.

“Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for always standing with us. We look forward to seeing you in just a couple of weeks and appreciate your continued support while Geddy makes a full recovery.”

The band’s June 26 and June 28 performances at Dickies Arena marked Rush‘s first concerts in North Texas since the R40 tour stopped at the American Airlines Center in 2015.

The current Fifty Something tour features Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson, joined by drummer Anika Nilles, who toured with Jeff Beck in 2022, and keyboardist Loren Gold, known for his work as a touring musician with The Who and Chicago.

Each night, the band draws from a rotating selection of nearly 40 Rush classics across two sets, with the performances serving as a tribute to the life and legacy of late drummer Neil Peart.

The 2026 North American run was originally announced with 22 dates across Canada, the United States and Mexico. Strong demand quickly sold out those shows, leading to additional dates. The tour has since expanded to 58 concerts in 24 cities, with more than 500,000 tickets sold.

Swedish stoner groovers Lommi‘s latest album, 667788, has been out for almost a year, but we couldn’t say no to offering up the premiere of the their brand new video for the track “Rather.” The song itself is rolling, rumbling riff-laden gut punch, that, in this instance, has absolutely nothing to do with the video we’re presenting, which follows the exploits of a vampire (played by Einar Quick) who’s really bad at being at being a vampire. According to the band, the video—directed by Henrik Johansson and edited by Per Dahlberg—“is a loving homage to one of the greatest vampire movies ever made, the iconic Swedish masterpiece Låt den rätta komma in (Let the Right One In)!”

“We wanted to avoid the typical performance video, so we let the director and the team run with an idea that immediately clicked with us. We’ve always loved their work, and they share the same sense of humor we do. The result is a story about an insecure vampire with plenty of tongue-in-cheek moments. The lyrics have absolutely nothing to do with the video’s story, and that’s exactly how we wanted it. We love that contrast, and we’re beyond happy with how the whole thing turned out. Crank it up!”

During his decade singing for Japanese metalcore band Crystal Lake, Ryo Kinoshita was a hyperactive force – a man with enough charisma he could trigger moshpits during a soundcheck.

But offstage, at the height of his fame, he was struggling with a mental health condition called adaptive (or adjustment) disorder – an intense emotional or behavioural reaction to a stressful event.

In 2022, he quit the band, referencing his condition in a statement: “Sometimes everything becomes pitch black and you can’t move like a corpse,” he wrote.

“There were many times when I couldn’t stop crying before a live show.”

In Crystal Lake, I had to be a tough guy and behave a certain way, but not anymore. I’m free.

Today, he tells Hammer that he was “going to give up my musical career and open a taco shop”.

But a phone call from long-time friend Yosh Morita (of Survive Said The Prophet) changed everything.

“He told me I had to keep writing music, and that I was a treasure of the scene. He dragged me out of it.”

With his friend’s support, Ryo put together the band that eventually became Knosis. It might share some similarities with Crystal Lake, but there’s one crucial difference: “I’m not trying to be a tough guy or someone else,” he beams.

“In Crystal Lake, it was like I was bound by a kind of silent understanding of being a metal singer… I had to be a tough guy and behave a certain way, but not anymore. I’m free.”

Debut album Genknosis is an exhilarating combination of metalcore and hyper-aggressive techno, punk, and industrial. Despite the darkness, the overall message is a positive one.

“The lyrical themes can be dark, but it’s about overcoming the negativity. I want everyone to feel motivated and live a better life,” Ryo says. “When I was in Crystal Lake, I was always asking, ‘Why don’t I have this?’ Now I don’t take anything for granted. I’m living a dream.”

Genknosis is out now via Sharptone.
