I’m not much of a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, but this bit of news seems pretty damn cool for you metalheads that fuck with swords and hobbits and elves and all that sort of shit. With the second season of Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power upon us, Roadrunner Records released the

It was so shitty to hear that Mark Lanegan passed away back in 2022 at 57. Too talented of a soul, too young to die. At that point, the thought of not getting anymore music from him was something we were all forced to deal with, until it was announced that Bubblegum XX, a box
Unfortunately, even though we don’t wanna miss a thing, we will be missing Aerosmith on stage for the foreseeable future.

I REALLY hope I’m not the only one who had no goddamn idea who or what Valco Oy was. If you happen to be living under some sort of un-tech-savvy rock like I am, apparently Valco Oy is a Finnish company that specializes in top-tier audio equipment. Of that equipment, a headphone collaboration with Megadeth
