Zakk Wylde, longtime friend of Pantera, has said he’s “beyond honoured to be a part of” the forthcoming tour with the band’s surviving members. Singer Philip Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown signed a deal with Artist Group International for a series of US tour dates next year, last week, the band’s first in 20 years.

Rocky star Sylvester Stallone launched an artistic bid to claim some rights to the franchise he helped create.

Rob Halford reflected on writing his lyrics for Judas Priest‘s 1982 album Screaming for Vengeance while enjoying all the indulgences available on the Spanish island of Ibiza. The band’s breakthrough record was released 40 years ago this month, after a difficult gestation period during which it worked in multiple locations over two distinct time periods.

Lady Gaga has officially kicked off ‘The Chromatica Ball’, premiering her new stage show to over 54,000 fans at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany tonight (July 17). It comes after a lengthy string of delays were imposed on the tour, which initially scheduled to begin in 2020 before being postponed to last July, and

After the death of Jim Morrison in July 1971 at age 27, many people wondered if there was any point to the Doors continuing. Without him, the heart and engine of the band, what else was there? But the reality was that the rest of the band wasn’t unaccustomed to working on their own. Morrison, struggling with substance addiction, was

Sigrid and the BBC Concert Orchestra have performed a cover of Neil Young’s ‘Old Man’ – check it out below. ‘Old Man’ originally featured on Young’s 1972 album ‘Harvest’ but was reworked by Sigrid for Radio 2. Taking to social media shortly after the performance, Sigrid called it an “honour”. “So today I got to sing

When it came time to stack the tracks for Journey‘s new album Freedom, the group turned to a proven predecessor. “I used the Escape album to sort of model how we sequenced (Freedom),” the group’s Jonathan Cain tells UCR, referring to the Diamond-certified 1981 album that marked his debut with the band and remains Journey’s

Lera Lynn isn’t prone to repeating herself. Having moved further away from her countryish beginnings with 2018’s duets album, Plays Well With Others, she followed up with the self-made, and self-explanatory, On My Own. Now she’s shifted into an entirely different dimension with Something More Than Love. Co-produced with her partner Todd Lombardo, it’s an

Rapper Kodak Black was arrested on drug possession charges yesterday (July 15) in Florida. According to reports in the US, Black, real name Bill K. Kapri, was initially pulled over for allegedly having window tinting “which appeared to be darker than the legal limit”, according to a statement from the police. Officers then found what they described as 31

By 2002, the Flaming Lips had already pulled off some of alt-rock’s bravest (or, at the very least, weirdest) experiments: the 23-minute noise assault of “Hell’s Angels Cracker Factory,” the communal chaos of their “boom box experiment,” the four-CDs-at-once design of Zaireeka. But for their latest and least likely detour, they simply turned on mainstream radio. “When we were going

Fish around for a minute or two googling “Cheri Knight” and you’ll soon come across a song of hers on YouTube called “Dar Glasgow”. It’s the opening track on her second solo album, 1998’s The Northeast Kingdom. The cover is a painting of Knight in a dress of green leaves holding a guitar in a

Calvin Harris has shared an official video for his new single ‘Stay With Me’ featuring Justin Timberlake, Halsey and Pharrell Williams – watch it below.

The success of Die Hard helped catapult Bruce Willis to bona fide Hollywood A-list status, but the action blockbuster could have been very different had producers gotten any of the actors they’d previously considered to play John McClane. Before Die Hard, Willis was generally regarded as a television star. The series Moonlighting saw the actor

For three young men in their early twenties, Black Midi have already covered a lot of musical ground. Their 2019 debut, Schlagenheim, embraced a twisted mutation of math-rock, jazz and post-punk, recalling Battles at their most discordant or a mutilated King Crimson. 2021’s Cavalcade was a more all-encompassing tonal affair; alongside the frenzied assaults was

The Maccabees‘ Felix and Hugo White have announced that they’ve formed a new band with brother Will called 86TVs.
