  • Black Veil Brides Team Up with Machine Head’s Robb Flynn for Their Latest Single “Revenger”

    Goth glam post-hardcore outfit Black Veil Brides have a new album titled VINDICATE coming out on May 8 via Spinefarm and they dropped its fourth single earlier today with “Revenger”. And unlike the other previous offerings, this one’s got something up its proverbial sleeve that most won’t see coming — they have Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn in the mix.

    Focusing on the whole vengeance = justice motif, the band says “Revenger” frames “vengeance as fantasy and delusion, following a self-styled avenger convinced that retribution could deliver justice.” Of course, that retribution is usually short lived, however, so don’t take the wrong message away from this one.

    Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack elaborated on that concept:

    “I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice.

    “Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The reason he came to mind first was of course his voice, tonality and style I thought was perfect for this. He is also someone who was one of the first real defenders of Black Veil Brides. In the early days when we were getting absolutely shit on by every other metal band, Robb Flynn and Machine Head stood up for us and said positive things about us and has maintained that for years and years.

    “I think it’s one of my favorite songs on the record.”

    You can check out the track and preorder your copy of VINDICATE to ensure you get it when it drops on May 8. You can also catch BVB live at any of the tour dates listed below.

  • Gregg Allman documentary gets theatrical release

    A new documentary chronicling the life and legacy of Gregg Allman is set for a theatrical release this summer.

    Subtext, in association with Rolling Stone Films, has announced that Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul will arrive in U.S. theaters on June 17. The release will include one-week engagements in Los Angeles and New York, along with one-night screenings across the country.

    Directed by GRAMMY and Golden Globe Award-winning filmmaker James Keach, the feature-length documentary explores the life and career of Allman, the influential voice behind the The Allman Brothers Band and a central figure in the development of Southern rock.

    Ahead of the nationwide release, two premiere events are scheduled. The first will take place June 9 at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre and will feature a special acoustic performance by Devon Allman and Duane Betts. The second event will be held June 11 at the Grand Opera House in Macon, Georgia, and will include a special appearance by Chuck Leavell. Both events will include a screening of the film and a Q&A with members of the filmmaking team.

    Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul traces Allman’s journey through personal tragedy, addiction, and artistic triumph, incorporating archival footage, interviews, and live performances. The film examines key moments in his life, including the death of his brother and bandmate Duane Allman, and explores how those experiences shaped his music and legacy.

    The documentary also looks at the broader cultural impact of Allman and the Allman Brothers Band, highlighting their role in breaking racial barriers in the American South and their deep connection to Black musical traditions.

    The film marks the first release from Subtext, a production and distribution company launched in 2026 by Danielle DiGiacomo, Brian Levy, and Teddy Liouliakis, with a focus on music-driven storytelling.

    “Gregg’s story totally resonated with me,” says James Keach, “especially his relationship with his brother, Duane. I have a very close relationship with my brother, Stacy. We worked together for years on a lot of great projects – The Long Riders was formative for us as well as for the Carradine and Quaid brothers – and the thought of losing my brother at such a young age really got me.

    “Not everyone works this way, but I believe that understanding trauma from the formative years of a person’s life is central when telling their story in a documentary. A lot of incredible artists have these shattering experiences in their past that inform every aspect of their lives and talent. Gregg had those demons inside his amazingly creative brain. He dove deep into his addiction when Duane died, but later in life, when he was sober, he faced his own mortality with dignity and acceptance. It’s personally important to me to carry Gregg’s message of trying to change the trajectory of people consumed by addiction. You can hear the ache in his voice in his brilliant music.”

    “I was Gregg’s friend,” says Michael Lehman. “This movie is personal to me because I want the world to know the Gregg behind the music.

    “Gregg was impacted by, among other things, his profoundly close relationship and the tragic loss of his brother Duane. His music reflects the joy and the pain of his life experiences. I chose James Keach to direct this film because James is both an incredibly talented director and has a close relationship with his own brother, Stacy. I knew from the start that he would bring to life Gregg’s story, including the relationship with Duane and with his band, The Allman Brothers Band, and that James would be able to create both an enjoyable and deeply memorable film.”

    “Gregg Allman’s music is woven into the fabric of American culture, and this film captures both the artistry and the humanity behind the legend,” said Brian Levy of Subtext. “We’re proud to bring the film to American audiences, offering devoted fans rare insight and archival material while introducing Gregg’s legacy to a new generation.”

  • Live report JOE BONAMASSA, Barclays Arena, Hamburg – April 22nd, 2026

    It’s been a while since I last saw Joe Bonamassa perform live. If I remember correctly, the iconic guitarist played five shows at the Carré Theatre in Amsterdam in March 2015, and it was a great experience. While tonight’s venue, Barclays Arena in Hamburg, certainly can’t compete with a location like the Royal Theatre Carre,… Continue Reading →
