Puerto Rican doom/progressive metal band MOTHS returns with “Crown Jewel,” a commanding new single, created in direct collaboration with Puerto Rican indie wrestler Gema (who previously appeared on AEW) as her official entrance theme. Dark, theatrical, and unapologetically grand, the track is a statement of dominance and self-mythology, portraying its narrator as an untouchable force; part ruler, part deity, embracing ambition, ego, […]

I’m a sucker for a good story. Sure, there are plenty of great songs that aren’t much beyond a chant and a chord progression. But the ones that germinate in your mind to become a part of your worldview; they’re relatable in a way that goes all the way back Aesop. Someone who’s a master […]

As thrash titans Megadeth begin their descent into retirement with the release of their final album Megadeth and plans to tour the next couple years to close things out, it’s hard for fans not to wonder “what if” on some of the former members. What if Dave Mustaine would have fully reconciled with the band’s former members like the late Nick Menza, the estranged Jeff Young, or the ousted-in-disgrace David Ellefson.

One person that’s wishing something could be done with that last name is current Megadeth bassist James LoMenzo, who was hired to replace Ellefson following a sex scandal that blew up online. In a recent interview with Stairway to Rock (as transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), LoMenzo said he was “sorry” that his predecessor wasn’t involved in the band’s long goodbye or with the band in any capacity.

“I’m sorry [Ellefson]’s not here right now. But you know, as they say, the show must go on. As things worked out, I was only supposed to be here to fill in for a while. And as we went out on that first tour [after] I rejoined, the vibe was so great that I couldn’t resist coming back. And Dave [Mustaine] was gracious enough to have me back.”

LoMenzo also recalled a moment when he met Ellefson back when he initially replaced him from 2006 to 2010. In that time, LoMenzo said his experience meeting Ellefson was a pleasant one.

“Yes, actually, I had a great time. Many years ago, we sat down…. I’d always wanted to meet [Ellefson] at the time I was in the band. We had just done United Abominations [2007]. I’m such a big fan, and I’ve learned to play all his bass lines, so that made me a bigger fan, right?

“So, yeah, I sat down and had coffee with him a while back, and I remember he was very gracious. And I told him, at the time, ‘The Megadeth fans, they always love you. You’re part of the original band.’ And I even told him, ‘You should go on the forums and just say hello, stick your head in there.’ So, fortunately, when the time came and they were going to do the ‘Big Four’ [2010 event that saw Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax join forces] again, when Dave and Dave had reconciled, I thought that was great.”

Whether or not any sort of reconciliation comes before Megadeth takes their final bow is up to Mustaine at this point. Only time will tell if Ellefson will ever share a stage with Megadeth again. (But I wouldn’t hold my breath…)

A few weeks ago, Jonny Greenwood and Paul Thomas Anderson were unhappy to learn that some of their work appeared in Melania, Brett Ratner’s recent documentary feature/propaganda piece/expensive corporate favor about current sitting US First Lady Melania Trump. Apparently, the film uses Greenwood’s Oscar-nominates score from the Anderson film Phantom Thread. In a statement, Greenwood and Anderson said that they weren’t consulted on licensing the music and that its use constitutes “a breach of [Greenwood’s] composer agreement.” They asked for the music to be removed. Melania producer Marc Beckman has some thoughts on that.

Bring Me The Horizon have shared the first seven minutes of their upcoming concert film ‘L.I.V.E. in São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment)’, which includes their opening track.

That track is ‘DArkSide’, taken from 2024’s ‘POST HUMAN: NEX GEN’, a fittingly punishing and anthemic curtain raiser. Though it’s not just the song that sends shivers up the spine here. It is the scale of the whole occasion, and the way that the band have presented it in the aftermath. Doubling down on the impressive worldbuilding that this era is defined by, they close in on tearful fans, frantic mosh pits and the abundance of fireworks, lights and fire that their show is surrounded by, each in such detail you feel like you are there with them.

It is a blood-pumping, adrenaline-inducing, beautifully colossal experience, and this is only the beginning.

Get stuck in.

‘L.I.V.E. in São Paulo (Live Immersive Virtual Experiment)’ is set to hit cinemas worldwide on March 25 and 28 only. Tickets for the occasion are on sale now and can be found, along with participating cinemas, at www.bmth.live.

The film will be accompanied by an album version of the performance. ‘L.I.V.E. In São Paulo‘ will be dropping on April 10 on streaming as well as on vinyl and CD/DVD.
