Kill Your Stereo

Well, hot damn! Good Things Festival 2022 has officially dropped the line-up for December 2022 tour dates in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - and straight up, we have headliners who have dropped two of the biggest rock and metal records in the past few years, we've got punk royalty, we've got bands re-forming to play classic material, and a tonne of Aussie acts to round it out, all that and more - YA LOVE TO SEE IT!

It's pretty hard to deny the omnipresent existence of Cog & Karnivool in the Australian musical landscape from roughly 2004 onwards, when they both released their debut albums. Lucius Borich has been the drummer of Cog for that entire existence, minus a few years off in the wilderness for the band as a whole in the middle. Now, they are joining forces again for the first time in 17 years to headline Monolith Festival, starting off with a covert trip down to Adelaide.

So, yeah. As someone who grew up listening to metal and also having a Mother who was an intense fan of Kenny G, this is a mash-up I honestly N E V E R thought I would see. It was weird enough for me seeing Kenny G play on a Katy Perry song and appearing in the filmclip. On the other hand, I LOVE me a saxophone solo or section in a heavy song, so it's actually not a stretch to just go to THE guy for saxophone to play your solo.

Hypa Hypa? Perhaps.

LAMB OF GOD have unleashed ‘Nevermore,’ the first single and music video from Omens. The forthcoming full-length from the GRAMMY-nominated metal titans is due October 7th on Nuclear Blast Records.

Marvel have just released the trailer for their upcoming game Midnight Suns, which features a character called Lilith taking down various heroes of the Marvel Universe and converting them to her cause. Metallica's Master of Puppets is an appropriate song to use here, and they've provided a version that mashes up with orchestral score/heroic instrumentals as well.

Florida alt-metal quartet Moodring have released their new album Stargazer today via UNFD - to celebrate the release, the band has shared the video for N.I.K.E.!

She Cries Wolf have dropped a surprise three-track release this morning entitled 'I'! Thought to be just one single, the release came in the form of three tracks of absolutely face-melting fury. The release has the fingerprints of legends all over it, from Zach from The Ghost Inside, Gregory Thomas formerly of Misery Signals and more, and Josh Merriel from triple j's Short. Fast. Loud revealed that he has the band's lyrics tattooed on his person while premiering The Beggar's Well.

"Hope is for the Hopeless" describes someone’s continuous search for the truth, as they encounter some harsh realities. This song explores religious themes, and how the house of God may not always be the safest place to turn to when looking for guidance about morality.
