It doesn’t happen too often – but it does happen. All of YES members issued solo platters back in 1975-1976, and then everyone in KISS put out their eponymous individual debuts in 1978, but none of those seemed as experimental … Continue reading →

Back in April, the influential Swedish singer/rapper hybrid Yung Lean and the French producer GENER8ION went viral with their “Storm” video. Directed by Romain Gavras, the video stars Yung Lean as the bully at a fancy, futuristic boarding school. In the lengthy final scene, he wears a suit and tie and stands on bleachers amidst a large group of dancers, also wearing suits and ties. Intense choreography ensues. Gavras captures the whole sequence from a wide angle, framing a stoic, smoking Yung Lean amidst a heaving throng of humanity.

There was a George Michael tribute on the VMAs tonight. It makes sense. Michael was an MTV icon, one of the most important artists of the network’s first decade, so any time they want to honor him, they should.

Wanna feel old? It’s been 17 years since Kanye West stormed the stage to interrupt Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

She’s also the most honored artist in VMAs history, with 30 Moon Persons to her name.

Swedish melodic metal frontrunners METALITE celebrate the release of their brand-new studio album, Discovery, out now via PERCEPTION – Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music! Their critically acclaimed, futuristic sci-fi metal epic takes listeners on a fascinating journey, further expanding METALITE’s signature blend of soaring melodies, powerful riffs and modern electronic elements.

Coinciding with the album’s release, METALITE have also unveiled a brand-new music video for “Neon Rain,” one of the tracks featured on Discovery. Guitarist, producer, songwriter and founder Edwin Premberg comments:

“Neon Rain is one of our three singles accompanied by a beautifully produced video by Ted Lindén. The song captures a futuristic world drenched in neon lights and falling rain, a place where emotion and technology collide. It’s atmospheric, powerful, and melodic, painting a vivid picture of standing in the glow of a digital storm, searching for something real beneath the surface.”

Mixed and mastered by acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe), Discovery pushes METALITE’s futuristic vision further than ever before. Across twelve dynamic tracks, the album explores themes of human evolution, technology, survival, liberation and hope in a universe shaped by digital realities and cosmic exploration in the year of 2058, three years after humanity left a collapsing Earth in search of a new beginning.

Building upon the sonic worlds established on their albums Heroes in Time (2017), Biomechanicals (2019), A Virtual World (2021) and Expedition One (2024), the band once again proves why they are regarded as pioneers of modern sci-fi-inspired melodic metal!
