  • Video Premiere: Cavernous Maw – “The Yeti Approaches the Wall”

    Minneapolis duo Cavernous Maw expand their vision with the release of its brand-new single and video, “The Yeti Approaches the Wall,” the first offering from the forthcoming album Ancestral Lands Beyond the Antarctic Ice Wall, slated for release at a later date.
    ​
    Blending relentless death metal intensity with emotional weight, memorable melodies, and unexpected influences drawn from black metal, technical death metal, and classic extreme metal, “The Yeti Approaches the Wall” marks the next evolutionary step for the two-piece act.

    Comprised of longtime friends and collaborators Niilo Smith (vocals/guitar) and Ben Fagerness (drums), Cavernous Maw were born from a desire to strip away complications and focus purely on creating music. After years of playing together in various projects, the pair embraced the simplicity and creative freedom of a two-member lineup, forging a sound that is equal parts brutal, dynamic, and unmistakably their own.
    ​
    The new single showcases a more mature and refined version of the vision first introduced on their debut EP, Primitive.​
    ​
    ​“;The Yeti Approaches the Wall’ was the first song we wrote for our first full-length. It started as nearly all of our songs do: the two of us jamming in the practice space, locking onto a riff and expanding it. The arrangement and drum parts were carefully crafted to keep the energy flowing from beginning to end. Lyrically, the song is about exactly what the title suggests: a yeti approaching a wall. Whether that wall is physical or mental is up to the listener,” says Fagerness.

    ​
    Serving as the opening chapter of a larger concept, the track introduces listeners to a mysterious protagonist embarking on a journey beyond the boundaries of his known world. Throughout Ancestral Lands Beyond the Antarctic Ice Wall, the album follows the yeti’s path of discovery, curiosity, growth, understanding, and ultimately, humanity’s downfall.

  • Complete List Of The Band Songs From A to Z

    The Band

    The Band developed a sound that changed the course of American rock music, even though four of its five best-known members came from Canada. Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, and Robbie Robertson drew on blues, gospel, soul, country, folk, and early rock and roll. Their recordings sounded steeped in American musical history without simply recreating the past. The voices of Helm, Manuel, and Danko were especially important, bringing different personalities to songs that still feel remarkable decades later. The musicians first came together while playing in Ronnie Hawkins’s backing group, the Hawks, during the late 1950s and

  • Korn just played their first UK show since headlining Download last year – see the setlist and watch videos here

    Korn have returned to the British Isles for the first time since headlining Download festival in June 2025.

    The Bakersfield nu metal pioneers put on their first of six shows in England and the Republic Of Ireland on Monday (October 26), where they played an 18-song set including such 90s hits as Blind, Freak On A Leash and Falling Away From Me at First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds.

    They also dusted off 1996 rarity Chi, which before this tour hadn’t played since 2013, and Kill You, unplayed since 2007. See the full setlist and watch videos below.

    Korn are still touring to promote their 2022 album Requiem, though they haven’t played any songs from the record on this run. However, they have been performing Reward The Scars, the single they put out in April in collaboration with role-playing videogame Diablo IV.

    Whether the song will make the tracklisting of the band’s next record, their 15th overall, remains to be seen. Last month, Ray Luzier’s technician revealed that the drummer has recorded his parts for the release.

    Korn’s 15th album will be their first without co-founding bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, who parted ways with the band shortly after completing his work on Requiem. Roberto “Ra” Díaz has been filling in live since late 2021. This year, Fieldy explained why and his former bandmates parted ways, revealing that it came down to his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and his resultant inability to tour internationally.

    “COVID happened,” he told the Shady Characters podcast. “That’s it. I’m like, ‘I’m not going out there.’ That’s what happened, ’cause it was new. Now. I didn’t get vaccinated or anything – but when you reflect on it, that’s what happened. They’re like, ‘We’re going to Florida,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated. I’m not going.’ I go, ‘People, this is weird right now.’”

    Korn’s UK/Ireland tour continues on Thursday (October 28) at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, then will proceed through Manchester and Dublin before concluding at London’s O2 Arena on November 4. They’ll return to mainland Europe on November 8, when they play the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. The tour will wrap up at Unipol Forum in Assago, Italy on November 21.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    PARALLEL MINDS UNVEIL “BHOPAL,” A TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF THE 1984 BHOPAL DISASTER

    French Modern Metal Band Confronts Corporate Negligence, Human Suffering, and the Legacy of Colonialism in Powerful New Music Video From CAIRN

    Release Date: November 6, 2026
    French modern metal band PARALLEL MINDS unveil “Bhopal,” a powerful new music video inspired by the 1984 Bhopal disaster in India. Serving as a tribute to the victims and survivors of one of the world’s worst industrial catastrophes, the track confronts the devastating human cost of corporate negligence and a system in which the most vulnerable are too often left to suffer the consequences.
    The new video extends the humanist and anti-colonialist themes explored throughout CAIRN, the band’s fourth full-length album, released in March 2026. Through a combination of modern heavy metal aggression, thrash-driven intensity, progressive arrangements, and epic melodies, PARALLEL MINDS deliver a message that reaches beyond music, shining a light on forgotten tragedies and the people behind the headlines.
    The 1984 Bhopal disaster remains a devastating example of the consequences of industrial negligence, with generations of victims and survivors continuing to live with its legacy. Rather than allowing this tragedy to fade into history, PARALLEL MINDS use “Bhopal” to honor those affected while challenging the systems of exploitation and inequality that allow such suffering to occur.
    With CAIRN, the band explores human suffering, injustice, resilience, and the lasting consequences of colonialism through a deeply humanist perspective. The album confronts uncomfortable realities while emphasizing the importance of remembrance, accountability, and solidarity with those whose stories are too often overlooked.
    Following the previously released videos for “Sufero” and “Sekigahara,” “Bhopal” offers another glimpse into the ambitious musical and conceptual scope of CAIRN. The album showcases PARALLEL MINDS’ ability to balance technical musicianship and crushing heaviness with memorable melodies and thoughtful storytelling, creating a sound that is as intellectually engaging as it is sonically powerful.
    Widely praised by the French and international metal press, CAIRN reinforces the band’s commitment to pushing modern metal beyond conventional boundaries. With “Bhopal,” PARALLEL MINDS demonstrate that heavy music can be both uncompromising in its sound and deeply meaningful in its message.
    “Bhopal” arrives November 6, 2026.
