  • Vicky Psarakis (SICKSENSE) Returns To The World Of Call Of Duty With “No One There”

    Watch “No One There” HERE! https://youtu.be/g_AlO2pmAjE

    Vicky Psarakis (SICKSENSE) returns to the battlefield lending her compelling melodic cleans and fierce harsh performances to “No One There“. Composed by Kevin Sherwood, “No One There” features in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7.

    On her second collaboration with Call Of Duty, Vicky Psarakis shares: 

    “Surprise… I’m back Zombies! I’m so excited to be giving my voice once more to the one and only Call Of Duty franchise! You’ll find ‘No One There’ as the featured EE track on the latest BO7 map: Totenreich.

    2 years ago, Kevin Sherwood invited me to feature on BO6 with the song ‘Slave’, which ended up becoming a fan favorite. We loved the track so much, we decided to add it to our setlist with my band SICKSENSE and saw many COD fans come out to hear it live. Fast forward to today, here I am again with a new song! I can’t thank Kevin enough for putting his trust and fully allowing me to bring my own stamp to his music.

    I had an absolute blast working on this song! This one goes hard, I promise you. It truly showcases many different facets of my voice, a huge range of dynamics accompanied by incredible musicianship from the dream team who put this together! Who knows, maybe one day we’ll get to play ‘No One There’ for you live?”

    Emerging into a discordant soundscape, “No One There” strikes into life with rhythms that leave nothing but devastation in their wake. Balancing dark emotions and untamable power, the instrumentation and vocal performance by Psarakis traverse treacherous plains culminating in an epic sonic impact. “No One There” concludes with a truly monstrous vocal display of Psarakis’ soloed screams. 

    Composed by Kevin Sherwood, “No One There” was produced and mixed by Joey Doherty, with both Doherty and Sherwood performing guitars on the track. Bass was provided by Jacob Umansky and Nathan Bulla performed drums for the track. “No One There” was mastered by Tyler Smyth.

  • DONUT BE AFRAID: Deftones Invade Australian Bakeries With “Milk Of The Madonna” Cream Filled Treat

    deftones-donut-2026

    TL;DR

    Deftones have officially entered their “pastry era” during their 2026 Australian tour. Partnering with Hector’s Deli, the band has launched a limited-edition “Milk Of The Madonna” tres leches donut to celebrate their latest album, Private Music. While fans are busy stuffing their faces, the band also found time to debut the haunting track “Departing The Body” live for the first time in Sydney.

    SYDNEY, AUS — It turns out that Chino Moreno and company aren’t just masters of atmospheric metal; they also have a surprisingly refined palate for deep-fried dough. To coincide with their first major Australian arena tour in nearly a decade, Deftones have teamed up with the culinary wizards at Hector’s Deli & Kiosk to unleash the “Milk Of The Madonna” donut. Inspired by the second single from their latest masterpiece Private Music, this officially approved tres leches creation is designed to be as layered and addictive as a Stephen Carpenter riff.

    A Donut Worth Screaming For

    The “Milk Of The Madonna” donut isn’t just a snack; it’s a timed exclusive that has Melbourne and Sydney foodies acting as feral as the mosh pit during “7 Words.” This tres leches masterpiece is only available for a strictly limited window from May 4 to May 10, 2026.

    While the “Milk Of The Madonna” single was originally interpreted by fans as a metaphor for divine nourishment or a spiritual wake-up call, Hector’s Deli has taken that literally by soaking dough in three types of milk. It is the perfect companion for fans who want to feel “Wide Awake” while “Burning out the foxes from the vines,” as the song’s lyrics suggest.

    Live Debuts Amidst the Sugar Rush

    While the pastry news stole the headlines, the band’s tour kickoff at Qudos Bank Arena on May 2 provided some serious musical sustenance. Deftones surprised the sold-out crowd by giving a live debut to “Departing The Body,” the somber, shoegaze-heavy closer of Private Music.

    The setlist, which featured special guests Interpol and Ecca Vandal, has been described as an “immersive experience” utilizing heavy strobe lighting and laser effects. The band is currently moving through a string of sold-out dates across Australia before heading to New Zealand.

    The Pastry Verdict

    Let’s be honest: most band-branded food is a gimmick, but a tres leches donut inspired by the ethereal gloom of Deftones actually makes a weird kind of sense. It’s heavy, it’s sweet, and it’s probably going to leave you feeling a little “White Pony” lightheaded if you eat more than one. By the time the band hits Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena this week, the city will likely be knee-deep in donut boxes and fan-filmed footage of their new live staples. Whether you’re there for the deep-cut live debuts or the limited-edition sugar high, the 2026 Australian tour is proving that Deftones still know how to feed their fans—in every sense of the word.

  • Now & Then: The Milk Carton Kids’ Lost Cause Lover Fool and the reach of Bookends

    Some duos sing together. The Milk Carton Kids still seem to share one lung. On Lost Cause Lover Fool, Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan return to the close-mic folk architecture that made them feel less like revivalists than custodians of a fragile old machine. The “Then” is Simon & Garfunkel’s 1968 Bookends, a record that proved two voices and sharp writing could carry the weight of memory, aging, distance, and national unease without raising the temperature much above a murmur. Lost Cause Lover Fool was released April 24, 2026, with nine songs on Far Cry Records/Thirty Tigers.
