What’s happening

A Killer's Confession has released their sixth studio album, Victim 3, via MNRK Heavy, marking the dramatic final chapter in their three-album conceptual saga. Led by former Mushroomhead vocalist Waylon Reavis, the 11-track record delivers an uncompromising blend of punishing grooves, dark electronic textures, and psychological storytelling following a death row vigilante confronting his violent past.

To celebrate the arrival, the band debuted a lyric video for the ferocious opening track, "The One." Reavis shared insight into the volatile cut, stating, "'The One' is the opening track to Victim 3. It sets the tone for the entire album. It is the breaking point, the last straw, the final warning. It is a rhythmic beat down and a slap across the face to wake up. It represents a rabbit dog backed into a corner with nowhere else to go."

Recorded in Nashville and Denver alongside Evan McKeever and Dusty Boles, the release arrives as the outfit's North American headline tour is currently underway. How does this final installment stack up against the earlier chapters of the trilogy?

Extreme is celebrating their powerhouse catalog with Paris Rising, a career-spanning live album arriving on February 5 via earMUSIC. Captured on December 7, 2023, at the historic Salle Pleyel during the SIX world tour, the 22-track performance marks the band's first live release to feature material from all six of their studio albums.

The performance showcases recent anthems like Rise alongside beloved catalog staples such as Decadence Dance, More Than Words, and the newly released live preview single Get the Funk Out. For guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, bringing the recording equipment to France was an easy call.

"Whenever a band decides to record a live album/DVD in a particular city or country, it means only one thing: That place is special," Bettencourt explained. "It means something to the band. And when it comes to Paris, for over 40 years, it has always been a second home to us. One of the greatest audiences in the world and that's why we chose it."

Queens Of The Stone Age have released the official music video for From The Cliff, delivering a striking visual companion to their ninth studio album, Perfecth. Written by Josh Homme alongside director Nathalia Pizarro, the cinematic short film stars Homme, Kaiman Kazazian, Natalia Safran, and Steve Olson in an intense story of love and trauma.

While Homme has historically drawn from pain, melancholy, and anger, the track marks an intentional shift toward expressing an earnest declaration of love and capturing a fleeting, beautiful moment.

"Every song sounds like it's from a different world. And that's on purpose, because it's trying to stitch together all these emotions revolving around love, lust, foolishness, and the sort of wisdom that comes as a gift from all that."

Out now via Matador Records, the album was tracked between New Orleans and Los Angeles and has already secured No. 1 spots across charts in five countries.

What do you think of the new visual for From The Cliff, and where does Perfecth rank in the band's discography?

Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine has revealed plans to undergo surgery for a serious hand condition once the band finishes their farewell tour, raising concerns that he may never play guitar again. Speaking to Musora, the thrash legend explained that the condition is genetic and affects people at random.

Mustaine insists on completing all scheduled band commitments before addressing the injury, though he admits the outcome remains completely unpredictable. "Look at my hand," Mustaine said. "I've got an injury on my hand. It's just genetic, which is something that just happens to people. Some people get it, some people don't. When we're done with our retirement tour, I am going to do something about it. I just don't know if it's going to be successful or not."

What are your thoughts on Dave Mustaine pushing through Megadeth's retirement tour before undergoing this procedure?

Ronnie Radke is facing legal trouble after retired celebrity chef Jade Cheng filed a lawsuit against the vocalist over alleged defamatory claims shared on social media. The dispute stems from a three-million-dollar California mansion Radke rented through Cheng's company, where the singer posted videos showing debris and accused her of scamming him out of $220,000.

The lawsuit asserts that Radke fabricated numerous accusations against Cheng and made threatening statements online, allegedly telling her "the feds are coming for you" and "you’re never getting this house back."

"Cheng’s defamation claim is focused on four categories of accusation, that Cheng had chlamydia, was a sex worker, a criminal or that Cheng stole Radke approximately $220,000 payment," the suit contends. Cheng is seeking unspecified damages for libel, slander, and emotional distress, while Radke has not yet publicly responded to the filing.

What are your thoughts on this unfolding legal battle?

Jonathan Davis broke down his favorite and least favorite Korn releases during an appearance on Silverstein vocalist Shane Told's Lead Singer Syndrome podcast. Looking back on the band's extensive catalog, the frontman singled out 2002's Untouchables as their finest work while bluntly criticizing 2003's self-produced Take a Look in the Mirror.

"My favorite Korn record hands down is Untouchables," Davis explained. "That album is perfect. I call it the heavy-metal Aja. Sonically, you hear Aja from Steely Dan — that is a perfect record. It’s just unreal how good it sounds and how much work we put into it." In contrast, he admitted their follow-up fell flat behind the board. "Sonically, it sucks. We did it in my home studio. It lacks ... I helped produce it with the band and we just didn’t know what the hell we were doing."

Where do Untouchables and Take a Look in the Mirror rank in your personal Korn tier list?

Rush is officially doubling down on their upcoming Elevate From The Norm residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas by confirming five additional performances. Overwhelming fan demand for their initial run in late May prompted the Canadian prog-rock icons to expand their calendar with new dates scheduled across June 15th, 17th, 19th, 24th, and 26th.

Vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist Geddy Lee noted that the state-of-the-art venue perfectly complements the visual scale the band has championed for decades, confirming plans to perform full album runs of 2112 and Moving Pictures.

"When I first heard of Sphere, I thought to myself, 'wow, what a shame that Rush is no longer touring, because this venue sounds tailor made for the kind of visual attitude with which we have always designed our shows.' But life is nothing if not surprising and now, here we are, living and touring in the present tense and we are able to make that particular dream come true."

General ticket sales for the new June performances begin this Friday, November 13th at 10:00am PST, following ongoing presales.
