As part of the digital rollout for their 25th anniversary edition of their 1999 self-titled debut, Slipknot have released a demo version of “Prosthetics.” The track is one of 59 bonus recordings featured in the deluxe set.

Slipknot have opened their vault for the 25th anniversary of their 1999 self-titled debut, revealing a huge new box version will sell out, and was curated by M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan. The set—pressed on “blood-filled” vinyl—is limited to just 100 copies worldwide and reportedly sold out instantly at $250 per set. Clocking in with 59 tracks total, the release digs deep into the band’s early days, including rare Indigo Ranch demos produced by Ross Robinson, alternate mixes, live cuts, and 40 previously unreleased recordings. Though Roadrunner Records had previously issued expanded editions, this new set was curated entirely by Clown, now dubbed the band’s “caretaker.” Their 1999 debut album—which went gold in early 2000, platinum by May, and now sits at 2x platinum—was commemorated heavily last year with a full 25th anniversary tour. The band has now announced standard versions of the set as well as DSP pre-saves. Continue reading

Royale Lynn Shared a New Single and Music Video for “Greed” – Debut Album “Black Magic” Coming Soon


Nashville-based artist Royale Lynn announces her debut album Black Magic due for release on June 27th via Epitaph Records. Produced by Jonathan Roach, the record is a raw exploration of Royale’s personal struggles with mental health, woven through a narrative inspired by mythology and fantasy. Drawing from the legend of Pandora’s Box, each song represents an “evil” that escaped Pandora’s box into humanity. Taking cues from 2000’s hard-rock icons like Evanescence and Flyleaf, Royale shares the lead single “Greed” with bright, piercing vocals that rise over the urgent, thundering instrumentation of the track. Directed by Scott Hansen (A Day To Remember, Sevendust) with dazzling visual effects, the accompanying music video is set in a dark futuristic fantasy world, featuring a leather-clad Royale performing alongside her band with an army of creepy masked figures that represent “greed”.  Watch the video and pre-order the album now!

INTERVIEW: Morgan Y. Evans Interviews Peter Aaron of The Stabbing Jabs 


What do you get when you combine veteran members of Chrome Cranks, Gang Green, Motorbike with Cincinnati street-savvy working class Punk values? The answer is one bruiser of a near-perfect and rollicking debut album from The Stabbing Jabs! From the red-hot street punk n roll comet streak of “Broken Brain” to album closer “You’re A Drag” (which almost sounds like it could be an early Unsane cut), your ass will be walloped. If you’re dead tired of over-produced and bigoted garbage like Falling In Reverse being called “punk”, here is a great place for something a million times more authentic.

ALBUM REVIEW: Voice Of Baceprot – Retas


 

It isn’t often that a band can make a legitimate claim at making a cultural impact on, or even before, their debut album is released, however, it is one that Voice Of Baceprot (or VOB) can certainly make. Hailing from a largely conservative Muslim province and nation in Singajaya, outside of Garut, West Java, Indonesia, the fact the band consists of three young, hijab-wearing women has generated plenty of ire.
