The post Jethro Tull: J-Tull Dot Com: Another Cast of the Net Review first appeared on New Wave of British Heavy Metal.Mallory Knox have well and truly cemented their return with the unveiling of a new track, their first with vocalist Mikey Chapman in nine years.
The band first returned in 2024 at Slam Dunk Festival, before heading out on tour for a 10th anniversary celebration of their album ‘Assymetry’, but now it’s clear their sights are set on the future.
And ‘Afterglow’ serves as a rousing return to what makes them such a compelling asset to the British rock scene. Crystalline melodies mashed with wave after wave of atmospheric guitars, it rolls the years back as much as it sets new wheels in motion. As spine-tingling as it is soaring, it is very nice indeed to have them back doing what they do best.
The band are set to play a pair of very intimate shows this week to mark this new chapter in the perfect manner. Here is where you can catch them:

Queens Of The Stone Age have confirmed their new album title via the medium of five-finger fillet. It is believed to be the first time that the dangerous game – in which participants rapidly stab a knife back and forth between their spread-eagled fingers – has been used in such a manner.
In the announcement video, frontman Josh Homme and guitarist-keyboardist Dean Fertita play the game, and while Fertita is clearly a well-practised expert, the novice Homme plunges the knife deep into his hand on his first attempt.
“Does it hurt?” asks Fertida.
“Yes, it fucking hurts, dude,” Homme responds
“Pull it out.”
“I can’t do it.”
Homme eventually retrieves the knife from its fleshy target, and, after a moment of calm, a fountain of blood erupts from the wound, drenching both musicians.
Perfecth, Queens Of The Stone Age’s ninth studio album and the follow-up to 2023’s In Times New Roman…, will be released later in the year. A single, Easy Street, was released last month. The band are currently on the road in the US with Foo Fighters, and have shows in Australia and New Zealand lined up in the buildup to Christmas. Full dates below.

My name is Alex Okami. This is my new single, “Permanent Disease.” It’s a song about life-long ailments taking a hold of your mental and physical health to the point that it feels like your world is permanently over. As a sufferer of negative health conditions I needed an outlet to express how I was feeling about my situation.

“Permanent Disease” lyrics:
I’m in search for the truth
All throughout the obscene
I’ve been wandering halls
That keep leading to dreams
Staring up at the sky
Wondering when I will fall
Wiped the blood off my lips
Now I’m nothing at all
Now I’m nothing at all
Persist, persist through me
I am the one who can not speak
Persist, persist through me
I am the permanent disease
Felt the coldest embrace
From life’s withering arms
Took a leap off the ledge
And I swallowed the stars
