Nobody apart from aficionados remembers that what’s considered Todd Rundgren‘s initial brace of albums was actually issued as platters credited to a band called RUNT which the singer fronted, and it wasn’t until 1972’s “Something/Anything?” that he emerged as a … Continue reading

There will be no Cavalera reunion at Sepultura‘s final show. Guitarist Andreas Kisser has confirmed that founding brothers Max and Iggor Cavalera were invited to take part in the band’s farewell concert in São Paulo later this year — and turned it down.
Speaking to Metal Hammer, Kisser says he personally called Iggor months ago, and that management-level contact was also made with the brothers’ representatives. The answer, ultimately, was no.
“We did invite the Cavalera brothers,” Kisser said. “I spoke to Iggor personally on a phone call a few months ago, and we started some communication. Even our managers went to talk to their management and stuff. But, they don’t want to be a part of it, and that’s OK. It’s a choice.”
Kisser made clear that the invitation came from a genuine place, not obligation. “It would make sense to have a celebration at the end, for the fans, and just to enjoy ourselves onstage,” he said. “[It could be] like it was on Roots, you know? Despite all the fucking crazy stuff around it, we managed to make that album and finish what we had to do, you know?”
Max and Iggor co-founded Sepultura in Belo Horizonte in 1984. Max departed at the end of 1996 following a management dispute involving his wife, Gloria; Iggor followed a decade later in 2006, subsequently reuniting with his brother in Cavalera Conspiracy. Kisser had been part of the lineup since 1987, joining ahead of the recording of Schizophrenia.
Max had previously floated the idea of a reunion himself. In June 2024, he said he’d be open to it, only to walk it back the following month, citing his commitment to what he and Iggor had built together under the Cavalera banner.
“You kind of have to realise if we end up doing a Sepultura reunion, it’s almost like we can’t go back to the Cavalera thing, you know?” Max told Metal Injection. “It won’t really make sense. People probably will be like, ‘I don’t want to go watch Cavalera if they’re doing a “real” reunion.’ To me, I don’t want to do that because I love what we have here in Cavalera now. It’s so badass.”
Sepultura — now featuring Derrick Green on vocals and Grayson Nekrutman on drums — announced their retirement in 2023, citing the grind of the album/tour cycle, the loss of Kisser‘s wife Patricia to cancer in 2022, and a reluctance to try to top Quadra (2020). Their final European show takes place at 3Arena in Dublin in August, ahead of the São Paulo farewell. A four-track farewell EP, The Cloud Of Unknowing, arrives on 04/24.
Joining Sepultura during their final lap in US stages are thrash metal legends Exodus, hardcore heavyweights Biohazard, and rising newcomers Tribal Gaze.

Atlanta-based deathcore band Left To Suffer are laying down the tracks for their next studio effort. We know that because they posted about their time in the studio with producer Josh Schroeder on the ‘gram. Thanks, social media!
In the short clip they posted, you can hear some brutally heavy shit going on through the monitors. Sounds like an absolutely gross break down, if you ask me.
Whatever they’re working on, it will be their fourth full-length effort and their first official release since 2024’s Leap Of Death. There’s not much else to go off of regarding this news, so yeah — they’re in the studio. That means new music is on the way. Get hyped.

UK progressive heavy and sludge metal stalwarts DESERT STORM present their crushing new video for “Newfound Respect” today. Their new album “Buried Under the Weight of Reason” in available now on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
Check it out here:
On their new album “Buried Under The Weight Of Reason”, the Oxford-based foursome carves out a sound that is as primal as it is progressive, melding sludge, doom and heavy metal weight with moments of softness, space, and unexpected vulnerability. Across these nine massive-sounding tracks, Desert Storm summons the wilderness, ceremony, and chaos of the human condition, pushing their sound into new territories while staying true to their instinct for heaviness.
Desert Storm are a formidable force in British heavy metal. Hailing from Oxford, England, the band formed in 2007 and have since carved out a reputation for their genre-defying blend of stoner, sludge, post-metal, and doom. Now, 19 years deep into their journey, they remain impossible to pigeonhole—constantly evolving, yet unmistakably Desert Storm. If you’re drawn to titanic riffs, intricate sonic textures, and vocals that balance ferocity with raw emotion, Desert Storm deliver that and more.

New York-born and Florida-raised Dana Fuchs is set to release a brand new album on March 27, and it will be a live recording of her appearance in Kolding, Denmark, in October 2025. The title of this new release is Live in Denmark. What makes this recording really special is that it is completely natural, meaning there are no overdubs or post-production fixes. You get 100% of what Fuchs and the band sound like live, which is a three-piece, plus vocals, powerhouse.
Joining Fuchs are longtime musical partner (and guitarist/vocalist) John Diamond, bassist Kevin Mackall (also Fuchs’s husband), and Piero Perelli on drums. The musicians here create a huge sound for a three-piece band, and they sound great. They are the perfect accompaniment to the smoking hot vocals of Fuchs. I could write another whole piece on where Dana Fuchs has risen from and who she has become.
There’s an old cliché that goes something like this: “tough times don’t last, tough people do.” Based on Dana Fuchs’s experiences, I would say that those words are very true for her. You can almost hear the pain of those past trials and triumphs in her voice. Like most people who overcome obstacles in life, who she was is not who she is. She has racked up a long list of professional and personal successes so far, and Live in Denmark is sure to become another.
Live in Denmark is ten tracks of Dana Fuchs, the way she should be heard: live and loud. If the volume on your stereo system maxes out at ten, go ahead and try to make it go to eleven. “Hard Road” has a great groove and is a real rocker. The intro has a very cool 1970s sound to it. “I hold my tongue so I don’t lie. It’s a hard road. I’m better off by myself.” The third track, “Blue Mist Road,” slows things down a bit, but it still rocks. It has an eerie vibe, as Fuchs sings, “Never go alone down Blue Mist Road. The price of a soul is still what’s owed, so never go alone down Blue Mist Road.” John Diamond provides some really great guitar work on this one that complements Fuchs’s powerful vocal performance perfectly. “Home Is Where the Hatred Is” conveys what seems to be a very personal message. “I left three days ago, but nobody even knows I’m gone. It may not be such a bad idea if I never went home again. Home is where the hatred is. Home is filled with pain.” Heartfelt vocals and a great John Diamond guitar solo that sounds like his guitar is crying make this a really special track. What better way is there to end a live recording than with a great cover of a classic?
Live in Denmark concludes with a masterful take on The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” I would bet that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards would love what Dana Fuchs and her band have done with their timeless masterpiece. This album is no doubt meant to be played at high volume, as if you were in the front row experiencing the concert for yourself.
Dana Fuchs continues to deliver great music, and I’m inclined to believe that it is created on her own terms and reflects what she truly enjoys performing. Live in Denmark is sure to please longtime fans and win new appreciation from those less familiar with her music. Based on this live recording, it will likely entice listeners to go out and catch her and the band in a live setting. She is currently touring Europe during March and April, and her schedule shows a couple of dates in the U.S. in May and June before heading back to Europe for some July performances. There are also many clips on YouTube if you want a taste of what a live Dana Fuchs concert experience looks and sounds like. I would encourage you to catch her live if possible, and if not, do the next best thing and get your hands and ears on Live in Denmark.
