Music

New Music/Video

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT. https://youtu.be/ekr2nIex040 CATCHY AF!! But that is par for the course with Bruno Mars. Apparently the lyrics (and title) are a play on words for a Korean drinking game. Rose from Blackpink.

Cradle of Filth - Malignant Perfection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiF-PAt6N9U surprisingly restrained for a Cradle song. Trying to rekindle Nymphetamine? Video is VERY fitting for the season.

Dead Icarus - 1 Million Days https://youtu.be/EjBGU-hF4js MUCH more Atreyu than anything previously released. This has Curse vibes all over it, even the video.

Better Lovers - Love as an Act of Rebellion https://youtu.be/5qCT4puiPJY I almost like these guys as much as Miss Machine era Dillinger… almost. What is with the 4:3 aesthetic these days?

Bloodywood - Nu Delhi https://youtu.be/A3C9NwGKgq4?si=k5I2p2CYtUofhYfE A little less on the NU sound. Still well put together, if slightly forgettable.

Breaking Benjamin - Awaken https://youtu.be/cHj8PtRdMQk Decent breakdown/solo section, but don’t believe the hype. NOT extra heavy.

Loss Becomes - Broken Mirrors Feat Jesse Leach https://youtu.be/_dTIV7xI9jM THIS is how you use a Jesse Leach vocal spot.

Papa Roach - Jacoby Shaddix says the next record “makes sense” to be a heavy record. The heaviest record they have ever done he claims. Seems like another trend hop to me.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/jacoby-shaddix-says-it-feels-natural-for-papa-roach-to-lean-into-heavy-sound-on-next-album

As I Lay Dying - Bassist and vocalist Ryan Neff has left the band, with a very curt exit statement on his socials. This can’t be an issue with Lambesis’ past, this has to be just Tim being difficult to work with at this point.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/bassist-vocalist-ryan-neff-quits-as-i-lay-dying

Static-X - Hoping to release the documentary “Evil Disco: The Rise, Fall, and Regeneration of Static-X” in 2025.

https://blabbermouth.net/news/static-x-is-hoping-to-release-evil-disco-the-rise-fall-and-regeneration-of-static-x-documentary-in-2025

Suggests

Korn - Self Titled

Released in ‘94. From the haunting intro of “Blind” to the twisted, primal aggression in “Clown” and “Daddy,” the album is a sonic trip through the dark corners of the mind. Its themes of isolation, fear, and inner torment align perfectly with the spooky season.
