Last month, Elvis Costello announced a 49th anniversary edition of his debut album My Aim Is True, saying that the idea of a 50th anniversary edition struck him as “preposterous” and “made [his] teeth itch.” The five-CD box set features 104 tracks, 52 of which are previously unreleased. He shared a bunch of versions of his 1977 single “Watching The Detectives,” and now he’s releasing the original version of “I Turn Around.”

Ahead of the September 18 release of their long-awaited 12th full-length studio album Cursum Perficio (Megaforce Records), Anthrax today have announced a collaboration with Dark Matter Coffee for a special limited-edition Dark Matter Coffee x Anthrax “Cursum Perficio” brew.

The base of the Cursum Perficio coffee is “a washed-process Catuai from Nicaragua that has been roasted with a little more heat to caramelize the sugars and bring out more toastiness, maintaining a sweet, nutty cup,” the company notes. “We paired the Catuai with coffee from the Pacas Family in El Salvador, a blend of Bourbon and Pacas beans that come from several farms in the Santa Ana region, which go through a washed process at the Cafe Tuxpal mill. This coffee has a lot of chocolatey notes in the cup, with a hint of citrus that comes through as it cools!”

Dark Matter Coffee x Anthrax “Cursum Perficio” is available in the following configurations:

• Bagged (Whole Bean, Drip Coffee Grind, Espresso Grind, Press Pot Grind, Pour Over Grind): 12oz

• Coffee Cold – 8 Pack

“With Cursum Perficio, we have a blend of Central American washed coffees from Nicaragua and El Salvador that produce a piping-hot mug of chocolatey and nutty notes balanced by a sweet citrus finish,” says Anthrax’s Charlie Benante. “This blend sits nicely next to my Schism and the Devil You Know blends from Dark Matter.”

Cursum Perficio, the multi-GRAMMY Award-nominated New York hard rock titans’ new album, marks the band’s first record in ten years since 2016’s For All Kings, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,” “My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work.

It will be 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.

(written by Islander) It’s a Bandcamp Friday. But you probably knew that. I failed to put it on my calendar but the engorgement of our in-box over the last 24 hours reminded me. So even though we’ve already published our usual three features for the day I decided to do this fourth one so I […]

Polish extreme metal legends Behemoth, unleash “In League with Satan”, the second single from their new studio release, I, Scvlptor, which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records (digitally) and Massacre Records (physically). The music video for “In League with Satan” was produced by the acclaimed Polish production collective Grupa 13. The song and the video feature a very special guest, Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir.

Nergal commented on the new single: “When we were looking for a name for our tour with Dimmu Borgir, I thought it would be great to use a timeless slogan and basically quote the gods of satanic rock’n’roll — Venom and “In League with Satan” perfectly fit my vision. I honestly don’t remember what came first — the idea for the tour name or the idea of recording the song itself. What matters is that we recorded it on seven-string guitars with Shagrath from Dimmu as a guest vocalist. The song gained a massive weight and a completely new dimension. We’re planning to play it live and I think our version turned into something truly powerful.”

I, Scvlptor, which is out today, is an exclusive release featuring eight previously unreleased songs – seven new studio recordings and one live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band’s foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth‘s live energy and intensity. Two tracks – “Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil” (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and “In Thy Pandemaeternum” (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) – are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth – ‘In League With Satan’ (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and ‘The Return of Darkness and Evil’ (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited-Edition Box Set through Massacre Records worldwide and digitally via Nuclear Blast Records.

Nergal commented: “We’re fucking excited about the release of I, Scvlptor. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, The Shit Ov God. That’s why we see I,Scvlptor as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”

We recently had a chat with Yohanna, singer of the Greek metal band Passengers In Panic: In this interview we talked about the story of how she joined the band at a time of change and the deep personal significance of their second album, Amnesia. Yohanna also opened up about her pre-show rituals, the vocal struggles she faced in the studio, her deep respect for the late Chester Bennington, and the new extreme vocal techniques she is currently learning.

Highlights from the Interview

When asked about how she would describe the band in her own words, Yohanna said:

“I would describe Passengers in Panic as having a strong Greek identity with Greek traditional music, with Greek traditional elements in general. […] But I think you really understand the band and the mentality of the band when the line between the band and the audience just disappears. We are all part of the same experience. We are all passengers in panic at the end of the day.”

When asked about joining the band during an important chapter and taking over vocal duties, Yohanna said:

“I was incredibly happy because this was my dream and something that I had always wanted to do, but at the same time it was a huge risk, huge challenge for me because I was stepping into a band that had already started its journey and I was taking over the vocal duties from the original singer. So I had to find my own style and own way of doing things and make the role my own, and this was the hardest part of the whole experience, you know, the whole journey at first.”

When asked about what their powerful and emotional album Amnesia means to her personally, Yohanna said:

“Amnesia is very personal for me. It’s inspired by real experiences and stories that have affected us both personally and as a band. […] I think at its core, this album is also about what happens inside us when we live with so much pressure, uncertainty, noise around us. And sometimes we try to forget things that make us feel, you know, disappointment or anxiety, angry, every bad emotion, you know, we have in your soul if you want just to let it go, just to give it away. And actually in that way, when we try to forget bad things in our lives we experience our own kind of amnesia.”

When asked about the song that challenged her the most as a vocalist, Yohanna said:

“Well definitely without a doubt, Amnesia. You know, it probably challenged me the most, more than any other song from this album. And I was, you know, I was still figuring out my voice, my tone, what I wanted to do with that, how I wanted to express myself. And there were moments that I wasn’t sure how to translate what I was hearing into my voice and what I wanted to do.”

When asked about which artist in the world she would choose for a dream collaboration, Yohanna said:

“Well, it’s kind of an impossible collaboration because the one artist that I have on my mind right now and I always have in my mind actually is Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. […] There was so much power and vulnerability in the way he sung and I really admire every song that he sung with Linkin Park or without Linkin Park. […] I think that it’s maybe one reason that I’m here today and I’m doing music and I’m trying my best for that because of him, because of his voice.”

When asked about what fans would be surprised to learn about her, Yohanna said:

“I think that the one thing that they would be surprised to know about me is that I have recently started to learn how to do growls, you know, extreme vocal techniques, you know, which is completely new for me. […] You just feel like you are going to unlock a new part of what you are doing so far and it’s great because when I started learning how to do growls I realized that growling helps me a lot through my clean singing. And I felt that I started to do better in my clean singing.”
