  • Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson pay tribute to Neil Peart at documentary premiere. “There’s a whole side of him that a lot of you don’t really know”

    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.

    PEELING FLESH ANNOUNCE SELF-TITLED SOPHOMORE ALBUM, UNLEASH “MURDEROUS INTENT” FEATURING MIKE RYAN OF MISSING LINK

    Oklahoma slam outfit return with their most brutal release yet, featuring collaborations with Sanguisugabogg, Stabbing, Extermination Dismemberment and more

    Oklahoma’s slam machine Peeling Flesh are back, and they’re bringing an absolutely filthy new record with them.
    The band has officially announced their sophomore full-length, Peeling Flesh , due November 27, 2026 via Unique Leader Records . Along with the announcement, the band has unleashed the album’s first single, “Murderous Intent,” featuring Mike Ryan of Missing Link .
    Stream or pre-order Peeling Flesh:
    https://orcd.co/PEELINGFLESH
    Watch the “Murderous Intent” video:


    Built on crushing slam riffs, death metal brutality, hardcore aggression, and the band’s unmistakable hip-hop influence, Peeling Flesh promises to push the Oklahoma outfit’s already punishing sound even further.
    Vocalist Damonteal Harris describes the album as a project the band has poured everything into over the past year.


    “This has been our baby for the last year. An insane mixture of drop G and Drop F songs that are some of our favorite and craziest songs we’ve written to date and we’re extremely stoked to get them out finally.”


    As for “Murderous Intent,” Harris keeps things appropriately blunt, calling the track “ruthless and vicious” while highlighting the collaboration with Mike Ryan as a way of solidifying the Oklahoma/New York connection.
    And if the first single is any indication, Peeling Flesh aren’t exactly planning on easing listeners into this thing.
    A STACKED LINEUP OF COLLABORATORS

    The guest list on Peeling Flesh is loaded with familiar names from across the modern extreme-metal underground.
    The album features Devin Swank of Sanguisugabogg , JayWay , Bridget Lynch of Stabbing , and Extermination Dismemberment , alongside Mike Ryan of Missing Link.

    FROM THE G CODE TO A NEW ERA OF PEELING FLESH

    Formed in 2021, Peeling Flesh quickly established themselves as one of the most recognizable names in the modern slam and death metal underground.
    Their 2024 debut full-length, The G Code , helped put the Oklahoma quintet firmly on the radar, earning praise from Blabbermouth , which described the band’s approach as a “full-throttle” assault.
    The band followed that momentum with last year’s PF Radio 2 EP, further expanding their signature collision of slam, death metal, hardcore, and hip-hop.
    Their sound has become just as recognizable for its personality as its sheer heaviness. Hip-hop samples, crushing low-tuned guitars, a charismatic frontman, and an increasingly relentless songwriting output have helped Peeling Flesh carve out a lane that is distinctly their own.
    That reputation has also translated to the road. The band has shared stages with heavyweights including Lorna Shore, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Sanguisugabogg , while collaborations with artists such as Svdden Death, YVM3, and NIMDA have continued to demonstrate the band’s willingness to cross genre lines without sacrificing their brutality.
    Now they’re taking the next step with Peeling Flesh .
    PEELING FLESH HIT THE ROAD THIS OCTOBER

    Before the new album arrives in November, Peeling Flesh will embark on a massive U.S. headlining run throughout October.
    The tour features Grounds For Assault, Snuffed On Sight, Mongrel, Gridiron, Outta Pocket, Fatal Realm, Final Resting Place, and Two-Piece on select dates.
    The trek kicks off October 1 in Los Angeles and runs through October 30 in Jacksonville, with stops across the United States.

    For a band that has built its reputation on relentless live performances and an unapologetically heavy sound, that’s a pretty damn effective way to roll into a new record.
    The new era of Peeling Flesh officially begins with “Murderous Intent.”
    And judging by that title, they aren’t exactly here to make friends.

  • THY LEGACY Unleash Debut Album The Call Through Nameless Graves Records – @thebeast

    THY LEGACY Unleash Debut Album The Call Through Nameless Graves Records

    Greek Heavy Metal Newcomers Draw From Manowar, Omen, Eternal Champion, Battleroar and the Ancient Spirit of True Metal

    There is something about the Greek metal underground that continues to produce bands with a deep respect for the foundations of the genre. From epic heavy metal to traditional and extreme metal, Greece has developed a reputation for keeping the old flame burning while adding its own distinctive character.
    Now, a new name has entered the ranks.
    Hailing from Crete, Greece, THY LEGACY have officially unleashed their debut album, The Call , through independent label Nameless Graves Records . Released September 11, 2026, the eight-track album is a full-throttle celebration of traditional heavy metal, drawing heavily from the classic Greek and Italian epic metal traditions alongside the high-energy attack of US Power Metal.
    For listeners who believe heavy metal should still sound like heavy metal, The Call arrives with plenty of ammunition.
    The band’s influences include legendary acts such as Manowar, Omen, Eternal Champion, Battleroar, Wrathblade and other champions of epic and traditional metal. Rather than chasing modern trends, THY LEGACY have devoted themselves to what they describe as the preservation of True Metal , building their sound around driving riffs, majestic guitar harmonies, powerful vocals and the kind of larger-than-life atmosphere that has defined epic heavy metal for generations.
    From the opening attack of “Heavy Metal Rising” to the charging riffs of “Metal Legion,” The Call is built around momentum. The songwriting favors strong melodies, commanding vocals and guitar work designed to sound equally at home on a battle standard or blasting through a pair of battered speakers in a metalhead’s garage.
    The album’s title track, “The Call,” serves as a brief atmospheric centerpiece before the band launches back into the heavy metal charge. Tracks such as “Holy Storm,” “Chasing Glory” and “Seven Witches” continue the album’s epic journey, while the closing “The Road to Helheim” brings the record to its conclusion with its longest track.
    At just over 32 minutes, The Call doesn’t overstay its welcome. Instead, THY LEGACY deliver a compact dose of steel that gets in, makes its presence known and leaves the listener ready to hit play again.
    The album’s visual identity also fits perfectly with its musical mission. The cover artwork was created by Mars Triumph , known for his work with the Greek epic metal band Triumpher , further connecting THY LEGACY’s debut to the modern Greek traditional metal scene.
    Behind the recording are Giannis Pratikakis , who handled recording of guitars, bass and drums, Nikos Trialonis , who recorded vocals and handled mixing, and Bart Gabriel , who handled mastering.
    The Call Tracklisting



    Heavy Metal Rising – 05:47
    The Call – 01:57
    Metal Legion – 04:20
    Holy Storm – 03:42
    Chasing Glory – 04:26
    The Amulet – 01:51
    Seven Witches – 03:34
    The Road to Helheim – 06:41

    Total Running Time: 32:18
    THY LEGACY

    Nikos Frantzeskakis – Bass
    Babis Antaloudakis – Drums
    A.D. Guillotine – Rhythm Guitars
    Jim Ritsopoulos – Vocals, Guitars
    With The Call , THY LEGACY are planting their flag firmly in the territory of epic and traditional heavy metal. There are no shortage of bands looking backward for inspiration, but the real challenge is turning those influences into something that feels alive rather than simply nostalgic.
    THY LEGACY clearly understand the assignment.
    The result is an unapologetically metal debut built around riffs, melodies, soaring vocals and the timeless spirit of epic steel. For anyone who still believes in leather, denim, big riffs and songs that sound like they were written for battle rather than algorithms, The Call deserves a place on the listening list.
    THY LEGACY’s journey has only just begun.
    The Call is available now through Nameless Graves Records and is streaming across major platforms.

  • Amy Lee says we have COVID to thank for the greatest album ever made. “Obviously we were all trapped inside, but he made an incredible piece of art”

    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.

    Lightning bolt page divider

    The first music I remember hearing

    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.

    The first song I performed in front of an audience

    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?

    The greatest album of all time

    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.

    The singer

    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.

    The piano player

    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.

    The best record I’ve made

    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.

    The worst record I’ve made

    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.

    My Saturday night party song

    Back In Black by AC/DC, always. Every party playlist we have has that on it.

    My guilty pleasure

    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.

    The best cover version

    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.

    The song that makes me cry

    In My Life by The Beatles. A lot of memories with that one. It makes me think of my brother.

    The song I want played at my funeral

    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.

  • LA Synth-Pop Surrealist Geneva Jacuzzi Stages a Cosmic Cabaret in Video for “Nu2U”

    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.

    Tickets are available here.

  • ANTHRAX Releases Music Video For “Cursum Perficio” Album Title Track

    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.

At the time, nobody could have predicted just how far that decision would take them. What was already clear, though, was that these youngsters had… Continue Reading →
