Today, Five Finger Death Punch released various physical editions of their brand-new 10th studio album, Legacy, which arrived digitally on July 31 via Better Noise Music. The collection includes limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette variants featuring exclusive artwork, available now through the band’s official store HERE, with the European and UK vinyl release following on […]Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have paid tribute to Neil Peart at the premiere of a new documentary about the late Rush drummer. The pair were joined onstage by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith at the premiere of Neil Peart: No One’s Disciple at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“Tonight you’re gonna see a very interesting look at this guy that you think you know,” Lee told the audience at the Princess of Wales Theatre. “And you’re gonna see the depth of his musical legacy, and you’re gonna learn about friendship and how it runs both ways between the people he loved in the drum community and how they loved him back, which is really cool, and the wider circle of friends and what impact he had on their lives.
“So I’m very grateful that this moment has arrived where this stuff can be shared. So, thank you for coming.”
“I’ll just echo what Ged said,” added Lifeson. “He encapsulated everything about the film, what an amazing person was. There’s a whole side of him that a lot of you don’t really know. He was very, very funny. He was a sweet friend, and he was extremely loyal. And hopefully you’ll get to see a little more of that. And it’s certainly reflected in Chad and the other guys that played with us.”
Directed by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn, the team behind 2010’s acclaimed Rush documentary Beyond The Lighted Stage, as well as Iron Maiden: Flight 666 and the Metal Evolution documentary series, the film will air on Canada’s CBC network on September 23 as part of the series The Passionate Eye.
The film includes interviews with Lee and Lifeson, and features the pair performing Rush classics with Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland (The Police), Danny Carey (Tool) and Gavin Harrison (King Crimson, Porcupine Tree).
Rush are currently on the much-celebrated Fifty Something tour, with Anika Nilles taking Peart’s place behind the kit. Full dates below.

It’s a […]A 1980s rock favorite is expanding his tour due to demand. He’s been performing for decades and keeps hitting.
The post 2 New Shows Announced After ’80s Rock Icon Expands Tour appeared first on Audio Ink Radio.
Musically, the mainstream landscape of the early 2000s wasn’t exactly fertile ground for a classically trained female piano player and mezzo-soprano in a symphonic rock band. That’s what made Amy Lee such a trailblazer. Amid the garage rock revival and nu metal’s slow churn, Evanescence shattered glass ceilings and sold millions of records with their 2003 debut, Fallen.
Five albums later – including this year’s Sanctuary – the band have never been bigger. On their recent North American tour they more or less performed the weeks-old new album in full. Some endorsement.
I grew up in a really musical household – my dad was a musician, singing and playing lots of instruments. As a baby my parents used to sing to me at bedtime, and it was this one particular song, Goodnight My Love [by Jesse Belvin]. I don’t remember my life without it. My dad worked in radio, and in Miami where he grew up, that was always the last song of the night before they turned off the broadcast.
I’m sure I did little piano recitals at school, but the first thing I remember performing in front of my peers was in seventh grade. We had an English project, and you could write either a poem or a short story, but the list also mentioned that you could write a song. It was the first piece of music I wrote and it was called A Single Tear. I recorded it on a little tape recorder with my friend from choir. We played it for the class on the tape player, so does that count?
It’ll seem like the wildest answer, but it actually came from a comedy special during the pandemic. It’s Bo Burnham, and the soundtrack album is called Inside (The Songs). Obviously we were all trapped inside, but he made an incredible piece of art. I think he takes inspiration from different artists that he’s kind of mimicking, and he’s a great songwriter. It’ll make you laugh but it’ll also break your heart. I listen to it all the time.
I’ve always looked up to Björk as my favourite vocalist. She’s a force of nature. For singers, your instrument is your body, and the sound is like your heart pouring out of your face [laughs]. I think you can hear someone’s spirit in their voice, and Björk’s is fascinating. Army Of Me has always been big for me – I love all of [1995 album] Post. And the song Jóga is beautiful. I have my own harmony part that I sing in the car.
I’m obviously a big fan of pianists and composers, and Tori Amos really influenced me. My first love in music was falling for classical music, and then the next moment was all about alternative music in the nineties. I remember being so blown away by how Tori Amos played the piano. She says it in [1998 song] Northern Lad: ‘I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars’. It’s really not how I started out, but she sounds like one of those people who can play and just jam without thinking about it, and it’s beautiful and intricate.
Sanctuary! I feel like it’s taken all this time to be able to do this now. Fallen was so important for us and so many people, but at the same time we were just kids. Going through twenty-plus years, all the steps in different directions, searching and experimenting. The music is fresh but it’s a return to our roots as well.
I’m gonna say that our self-titled [2011] was the most challenging. A lot of the initial music was different and we were just having fun. Very synth-pop but dark and awesome. We went into the studio and the label didn’t get it. It wasn’t a fully baked idea and it was hard for me to admit that at the time. We scrapped those sessions, regrouped, and I had to rediscover how much I needed rock with the band.
Back In Black by AC/DC, always. Every party playlist we have has that on it.
The true answer is that I don’t feel guilty about listening to music. But if I had to pick from the pop stars it’s Olivia Rodrigo. She has several songs that I love – Vampire is incredible, Driver’s License is really cool.
It’s changed over the years and I have all-time favourites – like Tori Amos’ brilliant version of Smells Like Teen Spirit – but one that I’ve been coming back to lately is by an artist called Trevor Something. That’s his name, it’s not that I can’t remember! He does this beautiful synth-wave version of [Chris Isaak’s] Wicked Game.
In My Life by The Beatles. A lot of memories with that one. It makes me think of my brother.
I have a list and they’re not really sad songs. When I die I want people to feel like love lives for ever, more than being sad that I’m gone. But to pick one, All You Need Is Love.
Sanctuary is out now via BMG. Evanescence are currently on tour in Europe.
Seduction gets complicated when one person knows the future, and the other is still getting accustomed to being human. Geneva Jacuzzi takes that imbalance to an entertaining extreme on Nu2U, a song she described in a 2024 interview with The FADER as an encounter between a primordial being and a caveman. Sex comes with a preview of the centuries ahead, including the suffering humanity has yet to invent for itself. Some lovers bring emotional baggage; this one brings the entire future of civilization.
The Los Angeles musician and multimedia artist now gives that peculiar proposition a theatrical setting in the video for Nu2U, taken from her third album, Triple Fire, released on Dais Records in August 2024. Produced by Jacuzzi with co-production from Josh da Costa, the track supplies an appropriately crooked dance floor for an encounter across the ages.
Nu2U bubbles and clangs with eerie, clamorous synths and foot-stomping percussion, making a persuasive case for synth music for cavemen. The occasional, emphatic keyboard stabs have an unmistakably prehistoric character, placing the track in the same mischievous tribe as Toto Coelo’s “I Eat Cannibals,” but if they ate edibles instead of flesh. Beneath that primal stomp, an intricate, melodic bassline curls through the arrangement, deepening the groove and giving its heavy steps a supple, sensual movement. Jacuzzi’s cool delivery, evocative of Erotica-era Madonna, presides over the gathering with a shamanic poise, her voice suggesting secret knowledge passed between bodies. The whole thing acquires a ritualistic pull, as though the discovery of electricity has given an ancient fertility dance some intriguing new possibilities.
Directed and edited by Jacuzzi, with cinematography and art direction by Shannon Cornett, the video places its performers inside a set that recreates a work by artist Steven Arnold. Costumes are credited to Stacy Ellen Rich and Jacuzzi, with lighting by Tom Nixon and Fred Joseph. The official video credits make clear how many hands went into this compact, extravagantly strange production.
Jacuzzi presides over a miniature theatre of cutout flames, suspended shapes, spirals, and stars, wearing an enormous geometric headdress above a pale costume punctuated with black circles. Her painted face and deliberate gestures suggest a celestial hostess who has been repeating this demonstration for several thousand years. Around her, figures pose in sculpted torso pieces, metallic-looking body paint, and elaborate accessories, turning the human form into another decorative element in the set.
Deep blue lighting gives way to hot pink, red, and green, while stark monochrome close-ups interrupt the wider tableaux. Faces fill the frame; arms lift and bend; a crescent becomes a frame within the frame. The visibly handmade scenery lends the spectacle the intimacy of a toy theatre, even when its inhabitants look capable of rearranging the cosmos. There is a lovely absurdity to the scale of it all: the future of humanity appears to be under discussion in a cabaret small enough to pack into a van.
Watch the video for “Nu2U” below:
That meeting of pop music, costume, and performance has long been central to Jacuzzi’s work. Following Lamaze and Technophelia, Triple Fire brought her songs into sharper focus while preserving their appetite for strange characters and exaggerated situations. With Nu2U, another of those characters gets a stage, a formidable hat, and a captive audience.
Triple Fire is available through Dais Records and Bandcamp.
Geneva Jacuzzi is set to perform at The Chapel in San Francisco on September 19, 2026. She will be joined by EX-HEIR, Diesel Dudes, and Nick Moss, who will also DJ. Doors open at 8 p.m., and the all-ages show starts at 9 p.m.

Anthrax has released the official music video for “Cursum Perficio,” the title track of the New York thrash legends’ upcoming album. The album, also titled Cursum Perficio, arrives today, September 18, via Megaforce in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast in Europe — the band’s first record in 10 years, since 2016’s For All Kings. The phrase “Cursum Perficio” is Latin for “My journey has come to an end.”
The black-and-white clip was directed by documentary filmmaker Don Argott, who helmed Lamb of God’s As The Palaces Burn film and co-directed Taylor Swift’s The End Of An Era film, according to Rolling Stone. The video stars London May, best known as the sometime drummer and bassist for Glenn Danzig’s former band Samhain.
“Cursum Perficio” is the fourth single from the album, following “It’s For The Kids” (May), “The Edge Of Perfection” (July) and “Everybody’s Got A Plan” (August). The album was recorded in earnest beginning in 2022 at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles and produced by Jay Ruston and Anthrax. Anthrax will celebrate the release with a late-night in-store signing at Guestroom Records (1330A Bardstown Rd.) in Louisville, Kentucky, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Sept. 18, immediately following the band’s performance at the Louder Than Life festival. Space is limited; fans must pre-order the album through the store to attend.
The album is available as a standard CD; Target exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover; standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold; Target exclusive double LP, red zoetrope with pop up gatefold; Amazon exclusive double LP, purple zoetrope LP with pop-up gatefold; merch exclusive lilac vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Metal Injection exclusive white vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Talk Shop Live exclusive signed with red ripple vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Indie exclusive – red, orange yellow vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold.

The band—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—dove into recording Cursum Perficio in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. They carefully pieced together what would be this magnum opus, mining their history with reverence, delivering on fan expectations tenfold, and broadening the scope of their signature sound. Produced by Jay Ruston and Anthrax, the result is an album that’s as angry, aggressive, and alive as their most celebrated fare.
