When Queens Of The Stone Age announced their upcoming album Perfecth last month, one item on the tracklist immediately stood out. That’s when we learned of the existence of a QOTSA song called “Where The Goth Girls At?” The mind reeled with possibilities. Well, that song is here now, and Josh Homme would indeed like to know where the goth girls are at. Drake can relate.

the artist ren’s Doin’ Fine! wraps a quietly painful story in bright indie pop, creating a sharp contrast between its sunny surface and the emotional resignation underneath. Built around a warm, steady groove, the song follows the small details of a relationship that has gradually lost its meaning, with everyday memories carrying more weight than any dramatic confrontation. The repeated insistence that everything is fine becomes increasingly hollow as the track progresses, especially when the bridge briefly drops the façade before the final return. the artist ren keeps the production warm and approachable, allowing the melancholy to emerge through the songwriting rather than overwhelming the track with sadness. There is something particularly effective about that balance, turning an uncomfortable emotional reality into an easygoing pop song that slowly reveals its cracks.
Sometimes fine is just another word for finished.

Where they from?
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Jets lost one of those games Sunday that not only question your fandom, but perplexes you on the nature of reality itself. They were up by 10 with 11 minutes to play and still managed to lose in overtime to a team they out-gained by nearly 100 yards. Lord have mercy.
Why the hype?
One of the most prominent stalwarts of North American grindcore for the past two decades, Deterioration pull no punches. The gruesome twosome have mastered the art of midwest basement grind to a level that puts most to shame. Every note feels dirty and sullied by the afterbirth of our post-apocalyptic corporate wasteland we call the United States.
Latest Release?
Observe/Target/Eliminate, Shattered Dreams Productions. Deterioration has always relied on samples to add a certain satirical direction to the music and the latest album is no different, weaving a tale of a Unabomber-like figure targeting the public throughout the album. It’s scintillating stuff and only adds to the overall vibe of absurdist brutality.

Ana Luna’s Cecilia, How Lucky You Are blends indie rock and folk with dreamy textures, creating a soft and melancholic setting for a song about longing and unspoken desire. The arrangement feels intimate, with gentle guitars and hazy layers supporting a vocal performance that carries both vulnerability and restraint. Rather than focusing simply on the disappointment of losing a romantic connection, the song explores the deeper feeling that can surface when someone briefly awakens a desire that had been buried for a long time. Cecilia becomes a symbol of that yearning, representing the wish to be deeply loved and missed. Ana Luna turns that emotional contradiction into something tender and atmospheric, allowing the dream pop elements to give the track a floating quality while the indie folk foundation keeps it grounded and personal.
A quiet song about wanting to be unforgettable.

With Gwar’s 20th anniversary celebration of their 2006 opus Beyond Hell arriving this Friday, September 25th, the band are premiering the HD version of their “School’s Out” music video, a cover of the Alice Cooper classic. The newly remastered deluxe edition, available for the first time ever on vinyl via the band’s own Pit Records, is now completely sold out through the Gwar store.
Remastered by Paul Logus (Anthrax, Killswitch Engage), the anniversary edition breathes new life into one of the band’s most ambitious and theatrical releases. Alongside the remastered album, the release also includes a previously unreleased outro track recorded during the original Beyond Hell sessions that was left off the original release.
Originally released in 2006, Beyond Hell marked a defining moment in Gwar‘s legendary career. Produced by Devin Townsend, the album brought together two of metal’s most unique creative forces, with Townsend helping shape one of the band’s most ambitious and beloved releases.
“I had been a Gwar fan since I was a kid. I loved the freedom, the metal, the spectacle, and the passion that went into it all,” recalls Townsend. “I met Brockie on a tour we did together and, after cornering him in an elevator basically telling him I’d work for free, I found myself co-producing Beyond Hell. Dave and Corey came to Vancouver to stay with me, and we recorded at Profile Studios. The drums and basic tracks were done at Slave Pit in Richmond, Virginia, and the whole process took about three months.”
He continues, “Gwar were, and are, an amazing combination of artistic freedom, absurdity, and hard work bundled up with metal and performance. Loved them then, love them now.”
Chronicling the band’s descent into Hell to rescue their long-lost comrade Flattus Maximus, Beyond Hell remains one of Gwar‘s defining releases, featuring fan favorites including “Back in Crack,” “Womb With a View,” “Tormentor,” and “The Ultimate Bohab.”
Twenty years later, Beyond Hell is ready to rise once again, louder, heavier, and more gloriously blasphemous than ever before.
The first-ever vinyl pressing of Beyond Hell arrives on 180-gram vinyl housed in an elaborate tri-fold jacket that unfolds into an inverted cross. The CD edition also receives the deluxe treatment, featuring a fold-out poster.
The standard Gold vinyl edition will be limited to 2,000 copies. Fans looking for something even more exclusive can pick up the “Blood Moon” vinyl variant, limited to just 300 copies, exclusively here, while Metal Injection will offer an exclusive “Blood Smear” vinyl variant, limited to only 200 copies.
The Scumdogs are preparing to embark on the Gor Gor Must Die! Tour featuring direct support from Midnight, with Mac Sabbath opening every night and X-COPS joining on select dates. A full list of tour dates is available below.

“History reshits itself”, Touché Amoré knew it, and Burner rephrase it eleven times on their new album No One Is Coming To Save Us. Humanity is rotten to its core, and it is the task of a lifetime to break the cycle of endless fucking up violently. Three years after It All Returns To Nothing, the world still needs anger.
“The Third Revelation” does not kick-start this album immediately. It slowly pushes open a massive, sludgy oak door before the hell that awaits behind it flushes over the listener. Sludge, blast-beat metal, anything uneasy goes. Just like on its predecessor, Burner takes no hostages here. Every knob is turned (punched) to 11 here, at least.
The tracks on this album feel like an aural waterboarding, with changing substances, in a good sense (IYKYK). We get fast and shorter songs like “Accelerationist”, “What Will You Give” or “Sunrise, Parabellum”, where the mosh part feels like being kicked over the finish line. Then we also get the long, winding and grinding tracks like the aforementioned opener or the closer, “Agni Kai”, where the musical prowess of Burner is shown every second. The other songs in between have got you covered when you are longing for good excuses to go ballistic on your interior.
Several high-quality guests elevate this already great record to a new level. Josh Middleton (Sylosis) lends his vocal skills to “What Will You Give”. A rager in front of God’s face. None other than main shredder and nice guy par excellence Matthew K. Heafy (Trivium) offers his throat to “Sunrise, Parabellum”. Modern, brutal metal at its finest. “Kurtz” is a personal highlight for me, as Anthony Lucero of the beloved Cult Leader gives a first sign of life since Learn to Love It from 2024. It is as savage as you would hope it to be.
Burner succeed in taking the next step in their heavy evolution. No One Is Coming To Save Us is another bright beacon in the UK metal scene and will burn (every pun intended) their name into several year-end lists for sure.
When Dolly Parton died last month, there was a public lovefest celebrating the country music icon and philanthropist. Tributes poured in from Parton’s many friends and admirers, and the Nashville airport was renamed in her honor. But now we’ve entered a messy chapter of the aftermath. Behind the scenes, all is not well within Parton’s estate.
