  • Listen to Karen Dió’s energetic new single, Bexy

    Karen Dió has unleashed a lively new single, Bexy.

    The Brazilian punk’s first new music of 2026, the track came about in a cool and incredibly Karen way: by hanging out with fans online and getting inventive.

    “A few years ago, me and my husband [Dinosaur Pile-Up​’s Matt Bigland] had a Patreon page,” she explains. ​“We used to share about our lives and hang with our Patrons in live video calls quite often. In one of these live calls, we decided to grab the guitar and improvise a song live, to everyone that joined the call. 

    “Bex, one of our OG beloved supporters joined the live call, so we immediately began writing Bex a song. Matt started to play the chord progression that you hear in the final song and I also started to sing basically the final version of the vocals, the words beginning to form as we messed around. We wrote the song right there, live, on the call. 

    “Instead of singing ​‘Bex’, I sang ​‘Bexy’, a sort linguistic change that happens as my primary language is Brazilian Portuguese. In Portuguese you add an ​‘ee’ sound to every word that finishes with consonant! So for instance ​‘Facebook’ becomes ​‘Faceybooky’, ​‘Hot Dog’ turns into ​‘Hotchy Doggy’… So ​‘Bex’ ended up turning into ​‘Bexy’. And that was it, the song was almost completed right there on the call.”

    Listen to Bexy below:

  • Corrosion Of Conformity Set 2026 Tour In Motion With A Tight, High-Impact Run

    corrosion-of-conformity-band-2026

    When Is Corrosion Of Conformity Touring In 2026?

    Corrosion Of Conformity will tour North America from July 6 through July 22, 2026, including a Vancouver stop on July 17.

    TL;DR

    Corrosion Of Conformity just locked in a July 2026 North American tour with Whores and Crobot, running Texas through the West Coast and into Canada. The run includes a Vancouver date, making it one of the few chances for Canadian fans to catch them live this year.

    This Run Isn’t Massive—Which Makes It Matter More

    Short tours like this tend to fly under the radar… until they’re sold out.

    That’s exactly why this one matters. It’s tight, focused, and heavily stacked across the West. If you’re anywhere near these cities—especially Vancouver—you’re not getting many second chances.

    The Full July 2026 Tour Route

    Every Confirmed Date And City

    Corrosion Of Conformity’s July run stretches just over two weeks, moving quickly across key U.S. markets before crossing into Canada.

    • July 06 – Houston, TX
    • July 07 – Dallas, TX
    • July 08 – Austin, TX
    • July 10 – Mesa, AZ
    • July 11 – Los Angeles, CA
    • July 12 – Pomona, CA
    • July 13 – San Francisco, CA
    • July 15 – Portland, OR
    • July 16 – Seattle, WA
    • July 17 – Vancouver, BC
    • July 18 – Spokane, WA
    • July 19 – Boise, ID
    • July 21 – Denver, CO
    • July 22 – Lincoln, NE

    The Vancouver Date Is The One To Watch

    July 17 – Rickshaw Theatre

    This is the only Canadian stop on the entire run.

    That alone makes it a pressure point show. Vancouver typically draws from across B.C. and even Washington State, so expect this one to move quickly once tickets go live.

    Fans interested in attending any of the band’s shows can find tickets here.

    Whores And Crobot Round Out The Bill

    Not Just A Support Slot—A Statement Lineup

    This isn’t a throwaway opener situation.

    Whores bring a raw, noise-driven edge that fits perfectly with C.O.C.’s heavier side, while Crobot lean into groove-heavy rock that aligns with the band’s more southern, riff-driven DNA.

    It’s a balanced bill that actually makes sense—rare these days.

    Why Missing This Run Won’t Be Easy To Fix Later

    Short Run, High Impact

    Instead of dragging out a long, bloated tour, Corrosion Of Conformity are hitting specific markets with intention.

    This approach usually means tighter sets, stronger crowds, and less burnout—something veteran bands have started to lean into more over the past few years.

    And honestly, it works.

    Don’t Wait On This One

    Tickets go live March 27 at 10 AM local time.

    Given the limited number of dates and the single Canadian stop, hesitation is how you miss this.

  • J. Cole & Cam’ron End Legal Battle With Long, Revelatory Podcast Interview

    In 2024, Harlem rap legend Cam’ron had a verse on “Ready ’24,” a track from J. Cole’s Might Delete Later mixtape. Earlier this year, Cam sued Cole over that feature. Cam didn’t make a huge noise about the lawsuit, but it still became a news story. As it turns out, that lawsuit, at least according to Cam, was simply an attempt to get Cole’s attention. Cole owed Cam a podcast interview, and Cam intended to collect. Now, that podcast interview has finally happened, and it involves a whole lot of big-news rap stories.

  • Vomitory Unleash “Wrath Unbound” with New Single

    vomitory_band26

    Swedish death metal outfit Vomitory have a little over two weeks until the release of their forthcoming album In Death Throes, so naturally they dropped another brutal new track. This time, it’s “Wrath Unbound”.

    Released alongside a Marcus Svensson-directed music video, drummer Tobias Gustafsson said “Wrath Unbound” was written from the ground up to get people moving wherever they hear the song.

    “‘Wrath Unbound’ is inspired by dark powers and built for headbanging! This is probably the heaviest song on the album. The catchy melody combined with lots of double bass drums will roll over you like a tank. Musically it’s influenced by British giants like Iron Maiden, Bolt Thrower, and Carcass. Lyrically, I don’t really know where [vocalist/bassist] Erik [Rundqvist] found the inspiration. Probably somewhere far, far away…”

    In Death Throes will be released on April 10 via Metal Blade Records, but you can preorder your copy today.

    In Death Throes Track Listing:

    1. Rapture In Rupture
    2. For Gore And Country
    3. Forever Scorned
    4. Wrath Unbound

  • Tyrannus Call for Regicide on “Reignfall” (Video Premiere)

    Tyrannus inhabit the no man’s land between thrash metal, death metal, and black metal, packing a punch while eluding genre conventions. The miasma they cultivate is pungent, but on their new single “ Reignfall,” they cut through it for a more direct method. That’s usually the best one for offense. On “Reignfall,” the Scottish trio commits to thrash metal to take aim at, well, you can infer that from the song’s title. Watch the video below. 

    …

    …

    As the first single from Tyrannus’ upcoming sophomore record Mournhold, “Reignfall” flaunts sharp riffs, barking vocals, and a tangible anger derived from this realm, shedding the veils of metaphor, allusion, and symbolism. It’s as if you could hold it in your hands. It also helps that, as a straight-up thrash track, it rips. In the music video, the Cthuluian creature watching the band perform cannot believe its auditory orifices. The jury is out on whether it has ears. You’d assume Tyrannus burned them off with their frenetic soloing. For the most part, Mournhold is more extreme than “Reignfall.” The trio explores darker and more ornate regions there, yet “Reignfall” shows that they are, above all other descriptors and niches, a metal band.

    The band comments:

    “Reignfall” is the opening statement of Mournhold, leaning heavily into our thrash roots to make something distinctly Tyrannus. It’s us at our most focused, fastest and aggressive; both musically and lyrically, and sets the tone for everything that will follow.

    …

    Mournhold releases May 15 via True Cult Records.
