IGORRR will be touring in support of the outfit’s chart topping fifth album, Amen, released last Fall via Metal Blade Records.

French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has been operating under the name IGORRR for 20 years now, yet each new record still resounds with a startling freshness and radical vitality. Gautier’s steadfastly unclassifiable and stunning Amen full-length maintains this impact, blindsiding the listener with a new set of exploratory curveballs and continuing to surprise and unnerve even the most attuned enthusiast. The record includes guest appearances by Scott Ian (Anthrax), Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle), and Mike Leon (CKY, ex-Soulfly).

Watch IGORRR‘s previously released videos for “Daemoni,” “Headbutt,” “Blastbeat Falafel,” “ADHD,” and “Limbo” HERE.

Def Leppard made an album so huge that only Michael Jackson’s Thriller prevented it from reaching No.1 in America

Lofi Milk and Issei Igarashi craft a beautifully intimate late-night atmosphere on Woven Moments, a jazz-infused lofi meditation overflowing with warmth, nostalgia, and understated elegance. Gentle trumpet melodies drift effortlessly above soft guitar lines, mellow keys, and relaxed beats, creating a soundscape that feels deeply human and quietly cinematic. The organic interplay between live jazz expression and calming lofi textures gives the track a timeless emotional glow, equally suited for reflection, study sessions, or solitary nighttime walks. Smooth, tender, and richly immersive, Woven Moments captures serenity through simplicity and emotional nuance.

On this triple-track edition of the “Popcast” Song of the Week, our critic Jon Caramanica unpacks the themes of Drake’s latest era.

His name might be largely forgotten now, yet at least one song which Jimmy Campbell penned and voiced for THE 23RD TURNOFF, a Liverpool band he used to front – before that they were called THE PANTHERS, and supported THE … Continue reading →

In their own words, Behind The Walls “talks about the immense strain the modern world is putting on people.  Somehow we have to push through and make it work and along the way we all have our moments, where our mental health takes a beating, or we struggle with addiction or break up from a loved one.  In these moments we all have the power to be strong and fight through them and come out the other side stronger.“

Behind The Walls is out now via XMusic
