NOLA legends DOWN appear on the latest cover of Decibel Magazine (December 2026). The feature celebrates the band’s long-awaited new studio album, Volume V, set for release on November 20th via Nuclear Blast Records.
DOWN’s bond runs deep. For over three decades, the quintet of Philip H. Anselmo, Pepper Keenan, Kirk Windstein, Jimmy Bower, and Pat Bruders has quietly built a legacy like no other.
The guys initially crossed paths as teens in various local bands throughout New Orleans. Over the years, each musician went off and made a name for himself with Anselmo notably fronting Pantera, Keenan holding down guitar and vocals for Corrosion Of Conformity, Windstein leading Crowbar, and Bower slinging guitar in Eyehategod.
Two writing sessions yielded the bulk of material on Volume V. Upholding a tradition dating back to Down II, the members retreated to Anselmo’s home studio and their de facto clubhouse, Nodferatu’s Lair. Songs originated on the spot as they jammed face-to-face. Throughout 2025, the music naturally took shape. Keenan and Windstein chose to simultaneously record guitar together, giving the album a timeless punch.
Watch DOWN’s previously released video for “Blood Oath”HERE and “The Myth”HERE.
Volume V will be released on CD and digital formats as well as 2xLP in the following color variants:
Orange (World) Yellow + Red Galaxy (Nuclear Blast US Exclusive) Orange + Red Galaxy (Nuclear Blast EU Exclusive) * Sold Out * Black (Band Exclusive #1) * Sold Out * Clear, Black + Red Smoke (Band Exclusive #2) * Sold Out * Orange + Black Galaxy (Decibel Exclusive) * Sold Out * Smoke (Revolver Exclusive) * Sold Out * Transparent Neon Orange + Black Marble (Nuclear Blast Exclusive)

Slipknot emerged from a darkened Des Moines basement over 30 years ago. In that time, they’ve caused total chaos, broken bones, and huffed jars of festering crows on the road to becoming a band to define a generation.
But how much do you know about the Des Moines mob? Do you know more than the average Maggot? Put your knowledge to the test by taking the quiz below!

Metallica has put out professionally filmed footage of “Lux Æterna” from the Oct. 8 show at Las Vegas’ Sphere, the third night of the band’s “Life Burns Faster” residency. The video is available now.
The run totals 24 shows, grouped into 12 “No Repeat Weekend” stints spread across October, November, January, February and March. The setup borrows from the ongoing “M72” world tour, so the Thursday and Saturday shows of each weekend get completely different setlists, with zero overlap between the two nights.
Spin magazine was clearly impressed after catching a recent gig, writing, “The visuals are the main focus, but the Sphere’s immersive sound does Metallica‘s performance justice,” the magazine said in a glowing review.
“In their 60s, their decades of musicianship are at their peak, although it’s hard not to wonder how much longer they can sustain this level of intensity. ‘Impressive’ is an understatement.”
The residency runs from Oct. 1 through March 13, 2027. Metallica first announced eight Sphere shows for October, then tacked on more dates later.
The Sphere holds 17,600 people and has shaken up the live entertainment world since opening in September 2023. The venue sits near the Venetian Resort and Wynn Las Vegas just off the Strip, and it is known for concerts and films that make use of its 16K wraparound screen and heavy-duty sound system. U2, Phish, Dead & Company and The Eagles have all done residencies there before.
The Sphere’s tech includes the highest-resolution LED display in the world, which curves up, over and around the crowd. Its audio setup, Sphere Immersive Sound, is powered by HOLOPLOT and is billed as the most advanced concert-grade system around, delivering clean, precise sound to every seat.
Metallica has long chased new ways to present a live show, playing for millions of fans on all seven continents in venues of every size. The “M72” world tour has drawn more than four million people across Europe, North America, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East since it kicked off in spring 2023, with its shows and production widely ranked among the best of the band’s 40-plus years on the road.

BINARY ORDER DESCEND DEEPER INTO DIGITAL DYSTOPIA WITH NEW SINGLE “NARROW WAY THROUGH”
London Industrial Electronic Project Continues Building Its Dark Cyberpunk Universe With a New Cinematic Release
OUT NOW
Listen Here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/binaryorder/narrow-way-through-3
LONDON, UK – London-based industrial electronic project Binary Order returns with “Narrow Way Through,” a new single that continues the project’s exploration of digital dystopia, fractured identity, and the uneasy intersection of humanity and technology.
Created by solo artist Benjamin Blank, Binary Order operates at the crossroads of industrial electronics, dark ambient, IDM experimentation, and cinematic cyberpunk sound design. Combining mechanical rhythms, atmospheric tension, and immersive electronic textures, the project creates a sonic landscape that feels pulled from a future where the boundaries between human consciousness and artificial existence have begun to dissolve.
“Narrow Way Through” continues the world-building behind Binary Order’s upcoming cyberpunk concept album, The Same Dream, a project exploring a reality where memories can be manipulated, identities rewritten, and the search for humanity becomes increasingly difficult in a world dominated by machines.
Drawing influence from HEALTH, Nine Inch Nails, Lorn, Celldweller, Combichrist, and Perturbator, Binary Order blends aggressive electronic elements with dark cinematic atmosphere, delivering music that reaches beyond conventional genre boundaries. The result is an immersive experience built around tension, technology, and the psychological weight of an increasingly synthetic world.
Entirely self-produced, mixed, and mastered by Benjamin Blank, Binary Order maintains complete creative control over its sound and vision. Each release contributes another piece to an expanding musical universe where electronic experimentation, dystopian storytelling, and visual atmosphere work together to create something greater than a standalone track.
With “Narrow Way Through,” Binary Order continues its descent into the digital unknown, inviting listeners to explore a future that feels both distant and uncomfortably familiar.
Binary Order’s new single “Narrow Way Through” is out now.

John Fogerty occupies a special place in American rock and roll history. Born in Berkeley, California, in 1945, he became one of the defining voices and songwriters of his generation through Creedence Clearwater Revival, blending rockabilly, blues, country, gospel, and rhythm and blues into a sound that seemed to come from the American South even though the band grew up in Northern California. His unmistakable voice and lean guitar arrangements helped turn songs such as “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Fortunate Son,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” into enduring classics. Fogerty’s recording story started long before Creedence became
