As if I needed another reason to want to live across the pond, but here we are. Thank you Korn, for announcing a slate of European and UK tour dates they’ll be embarking on this fall. Coming along for the ride will be Architects as direct tour support, while Youth Code and Pixel Grip will split the tour with their respective appearances.
This is great to hear, since the band just said they’re “taking some time off” before they start working on their next album, whenever that’s supposed to happen. Korn’s been on a good one for a while now with festival appearances, clothing deals and the like, so the vacation is very clearly well deserved.
Pre-sale for their mailing list members starts tomorrow, March 17, at 8 am GMT. For the rest of us peasants, general sale starts this Friday, March 20, at 8 am GMT.

Last year, promoter Ignacio Rodriguera, who goes by the name Nacho Corrupted, announced plans for the rescheduled version of CY Fest, a Los Angeles punk festival that was originally supposed to take place in 2025. The 2026 CY Fest, scheduled to come to the Belasco later this month, has a truly impressive lineup, with punk, hardcore, and metal underground legends like the Subhumans, Eyehategod, Pig Destroyer, and Dropdead playing alongside newer bands like Big Boy, Rotting Out, and Mess. But an online feminist group has circulated a number of sexual misconduct allegations against Rodriguera, and some bands have dropped off the CY Fest lineup.

Following the excellent reception of their previous release on February 12th with “Metropolis”, the musical project Saiph now arrives with the premiere of “Talos Lie”. With this new single, the group takes a firm and decisive step, diving deeper into the textures and punch of industrial sound, establishing themselves as one of the most disruptive acts in today’s goth scene. This qualitative leap in their sound is the result of the transition officially announced on October 19th, 2025, the date when Saiph ceased to be a solo project to present itself as a full band. This evolution has allowed the group to explore greater atmospheric and rhythmic density through its current lineup: Robin, Robert H Richmond, Thomas, Viktor. While “Metropolis” already set a clear tone within the goth scene, Saiph delves into a more mechanical and dark atmosphere with “Talos Lie”. The release reinforces their powerful visual identity, inspired by cult cinema and oriented toward club culture under their now-iconic motto: “Dance or Die”. Both “Talos Lie” and “Metropolis” are currently available on all digital streaming platforms.
