Ian McDonald, founding member of KING CRIMSON and FOREIGNER, passed away peacefully on February 9 in his home in New York City, surrounded by his family. He was 75 years old. A master multi-instrumentalist, McDonald's musicianship was an integral part of launching celebrated progressive rock band KING CRIMSON.

SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor will release a solo album of covers and acoustic recordings, titled "CMFB…Sides", on February 25 via Roadrunner Records. "CMFB…Sides" comprises nine unreleased B-sides, covers of tunes that inspired Taylor, acoustic renditions, and live versions. Corey preserves the windows-down and arena-ready spirit of "On The Dark Side" made famous by JOHN CAFFERTY & THE BEAVER BROWN BAND in the 1983 film "Eddie And The Cruisers", and strips the 1981 classic "Lunatic Fringe" by RED RIDER down to a striking acoustic number. Furthermore, he and […]

SCORPIONS have shared their new single, "Seventh Sun". The song is taken from the band's 19th studio album, "Rock Believer", which will be released on February 25. From the very first note of "Seventh Sun", guitarist Rudolf Schenker and his Flying V manage to spectacularly draw us into this powerful song in an almost mystical way, much in the tradition of SCORPIONS classics such as "Animal Magnetism" and "China White". Three months ago, SCORPIONS released the official music video for "Rock Believer"'s first single, "Peacemaker". […]

The effort was originally only available as a limited-edition cassette and vinyl release for Record Store Day in 2021. The heavily sought-after RSD release quickly sold out and debuted on the Billboard 200, hitting No. 2 on the Top Hard Rock Albums […]

In a new interview with Thomann, KORN guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer discussed the inspiration for the band's new album, "Requiem", which was written and recorded entirely during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "We're so used to having the world as our playground to go and explore. We've been doing this for 25 or more years [now]. And all of a sudden somebody says, 'You can't do that anymore.' We're, like, 'What? What do […]
