Lynyrd Skynyrd’s history is filled with triumph, tragedy, survival, and one of the most important lineups in Southern rock. From Ronnie Van Zant and the classic 1970s band to the musicians who carried the name forward after the 1987 reunion, every member played a role in shaping the legacy of one of rock and roll’s most enduring groups. In 1977, I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd perform at the Nassau Coliseum. Ted Nugent was the opening act. Both groups were on tour together, alternating between who would open and close the show. It was one of the greatest concerts I have ever
Formed in Hawthorne, California, in 1961, The Beach Boys are one of the most enduring and influential bands in the history of popular music.

Finnish black metallers BLOODMOTHER will release their debut album Militant Black Magic on September 25th, 2026, via Time To Kill Records.
A sharp and uncompromising record, it refuses shortcuts and avoids hiding behind pretentious structures or overly foggy atmospheric detours. Instead, it focuses on pure impact and precision, built entirely on riffs that cut deep and leave no room for distraction.
The album stands as a severe statement of intent, stripping everything back to its essential violence and clarity, delivering a sound that is direct, punishing and relentlessly focused on damage rather than ornament.
The first single“Liturgical Decay” is available now:
“Liturgical decay, the meaningless ritualization of dead flesh. When Death calls and the pious decompose, the futility of their faith becomes evident. This is what Bloodmother is all about, a sonic war machine rolling over your graves in celebration of the end of life”.
Formed in 2021 by Kuolontuoja, BLOODMOTHER was conceived with a clear and uncompromising purpose: to channel the spirit of true Finnish black metal through a sound stripped of excess and focused entirely on aggression. Building upon the foundations laid by the demo Death to All and the EP Soul Crusher, the band has refined a style based on razor-sharp riffs, hostile atmospheres and a direct, no-frills approach. Yet beneath its relentless surface lies a constant rhythmic variety that prevents the music from falling into predictability, maintaining tension and momentum throughout.
With Militant Black Magic, BLOODMOTHER push their vision further, delivering a work rooted in themes of faith, war, death and Satanic defiance. The album stands as the band’s most complete statement to date and a concentrated display of the ferocity that has defined their mission from the very beginning.
