What’s happening

Violet Bennington, the daughter of late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, has publicly revealed her new partner for the first time in a deeply moving social media post. Sharing a photo alongside her partner on Instagram, Violet accompanied the reveal with an emotional message expressing her profound gratitude and affection. Describing the relationship as an instant, deep soulmate connection, she wrote: "Me and my world. Soulmates since the moment we met! I have nothing but unconditional love for you, you are the light at the end of my tunnel. Thank you for coming into my life and making it so much brighter."

The beautiful life update marks a joyful new chapter for the 22-year-old creative, who has been gradually stepping into the spotlight on her own terms as a musician, actor, and visual artist. After publicly coming out as transgender and beginning her transition journey, she recently shared the deeply personal decision to change her name from Draven to Violet. Supported wholeheartedly by her mother, Samantha Bennington, Violet has consistently used her growing public platform to advocate for transgender youth navigating similar journeys of identity and self-acceptance, carving out a voice that honors both her family's artistic legacy and her own authentic truth.

Are you glad to see Violet using her public platform to share these joyful milestones and advocate for trans youth, or have you been following her own journey as an artist and musician?

Bon Jovi made a monumental return to the live stage on Tuesday, July 7th, kicking off their highly anticipated Forever tour with the first of nine completely sold-out shows at New York City's legendary Madison Square Garden. The performance marked the band's first official concert in four years, following an extended touring hiatus brought on by frontman Jon Bon Jovi's severe vocal cord issues. Addressing the roaring, emotional crowd, the 64-year-old rock icon bared his soul, admitting, "I haven't heard the roar of a crowd in four years. I'm grateful and humbled by this whole ordeal." The band delivered an electrified 21-song setlist that seamlessly blended definitive anthems like "Livin' On A Prayer," "It's My Life," and "You Give Love A Bad Name" with a Beatles cover and fresh material from their 2024 album Forever, including the hit singles "Legendary" and "Living Proof."

The triumphant opening night caps off an arduous, multi-year medical journey for the singer, who secretly underwent a complex vocal cord medialization surgery in 2022 after discovering one of his vocal cords had severely atrophied. The procedure required surgeons to cut through the front of his throat to place Gore-Tex implants to force his vocal muscles to fire symmetrically again. Followed by a grueling three-and-a-half-year recovery process, Jon had to completely unwind nearly a decade of vocal overcompensation, working intensely with speech pathologists to relearn how to properly speak and sing from scratch. Supported unconditionally by long-time founding members David Bryan and Tico Torres, alongside Hugh McDonald and Phil X, Jon declared himself fully recovered and ready for the grueling road ahead. Following their historic residency at the Garden—which runs through July 26th—the band will take the Forever tour across the Atlantic in August and September for massive stadium headlining dates in Scotland, Ireland, and London.

Are you catching Bon Jovi during their historic multi-night stand at Madison Square Garden this month, or are you hoping to see them when they head overseas later this summer?

Prong have officially announced their self-titled album, Prong, marking their incendiary debut for Napalm Records. Scheduled for release on November 6th, the 11-track record is described as a defining mission statement that honors the band's near four-decade legacy while pushing into heavier territories. Frontman Tommy Victor voiced massive praise for the new material, declaring it potentially the band's best work to date and their best-sounding release ever. To achieve that top-notch sound quality, the band enlisted legendary producer Andy Sneap to handle mixing and mastering duties at Backstage Studios, resulting in a crisp, punchy sonic delivery.

Born out of the late-1980s renaissance at New York's iconic punk venue CBGB, Prong carved out a unique space alongside hardcore legends by blending New York Hardcore with groove metal and industrial textures on seminal albums like Beg To Differ and Cleansing. The new self-titled effort pulls from that exact diverse well. The album features blistering thrash and lush choruses on opening anthem "The Banner," industrial synths over a pulsating two-step on "The Uprising," and pure New York Hardcore pit energy on "Fear The Sun". Lyrically, Victor's biting vocals confront complex themes ranging from self-inhibitors and altruism to the validity of truth, proving the band's creative drive remains completely uninhibited.

Are you ready for a new chapter of heavy grooves from Prong, and which of their classic albums like Cleansing or Beg To Differ is your ultimate favorite?

John 5 has officially released the music video for his bluesy single, "You Me And The Devil Makes Three". The track is culled from his critically acclaimed twelfth solo album, Ghost, which was produced and mixed by Barry Pointer. The song features a heavy dose of extra percussion courtesy of John 5's Mötley Crüe bandmate Tommy Lee. Directed and edited by Joey Aguirre, the accompanying music video functions as a globe-trotting visual diary, following the legendary guitarist across the world on his recent high-energy solo tour routing. The track follows a string of previous singles from the record, including "Fiend," "Deviant," "Moon Glow," and the autobiographical "Hollywood Story".

The video release builds anticipation for an incredibly packed touring schedule for the remaining months of the year. Following Mötley Crüe’s massive The Return Of Carnival Of Sins U.S. stadium trek this summer, John 5 will immediately pivot back to his solo work. This October, he kicks off a run of headlining club dates across England and Scotland, including stops at Wolverhampton’s KK’s Steelmill and Glasgow’s Slay, before heading to Mexico in November for a string of theater shows. For a seasoned pro with over 30 years of experience playing alongside icons like Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and David Lee Roth, the continuous road work is a welcome challenge. The guitarist notes that a strict regimen of consistent sleep, vitamins, and a health-conscious lifestyle is what keeps him mentally relaxed and physically primed to smash through 50 intense shows in a row.

Are you catching John 5 on the road with Mötley Crüe this summer or hitting up his newly announced solo dates this fall?

Green Day have officially announced the soundtrack for the upcoming comedy movie NIMRODS and unleashed its lead single, "I’m Never Gonna R.I.P." The film—which was co-produced by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool—centers on three friends in a garage band who embark on a wild cross-country road trip under the belief that they've landed an opening slot for Green Day at a New Year’s Eve concert in Los Angeles. The newly released track leans heavily into a 1950s rock 'n' roll vibe reminiscent of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, marking the legendary punk trio's first piece of fresh music since their 2024 studio album, Saviors.

Due to hit shelves on July 31st ahead of the film's theatrical release on August 14th, the massive 30-song soundtrack features a heavy dose of Green Day tracks alongside music from the movie's fictional band, Analog Dogs. It also features contributions from Ultra Q, The Paradox, and actress Mckenna Grace, who co-stars in the film. Reflecting on the heart of the project, bassist Mike Dirnt shared that the movie is a hilarious and triumphant adventure that mirrors the real-life chaos, mishaps, and van-touring experiences Green Day actually faced during their early underground days.

Are you excited to hear Green Day channel some old-school '50s rock 'n' roll, and will you be heading to theaters to catch NIMRODS this August?

Amy Lee has opened up about the intense behind-the-scenes battle surrounding their 2003 breakout smash, "Bring Me To Life," revealing that her absolute biggest fear at the time was being branded a one-hit wonder. Speaking with Tom Power on Canada's CBC Radio One, Lee recounted how the band's original record label, Wind-Up Records, initially refused to release their landmark debut album, Fallen, unless they hired a full-time male rapper for the majority of the record to mirror the prevailing nu-metal trends of the era. Refusing to alter their core identity, the band faced a temporary shutdown before compromising on a one-off collaboration for the Daredevil movie soundtrack, bringing in 12 Stones vocalist Paul McCoy to deliver the track's guest vocals.

Lee admitted she fiercely resisted the addition, worrying that listeners would feel a "bait and switch" when discovering the rest of the band's sweeping, gothic catalog didn't feature rap elements. However, she credited McCoy as an absolute hero who poured his heart into the part she wrote, making the compromise a deeply positive experience. The gamble paid off exponentially; the track went on to hit No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, earned the band global recognition, and was recently certified 11x Platinum (surpassing the Diamond threshold) by the RIAA. The group successfully shattered any one-hit-wonder anxieties with a string of subsequent hits, and they are currently back on the road headlining North American venues in support of their sixth studio album, Sanctuary, which arrived this past June.

Did you know that the rap parts in "Bring Me To Life" were forced by the record label, and have you had a chance to catch any of the band's live shows on the current Sanctuary tour?

A moving new roadside memorial has been erected at the site of the tragic motorcycle accident that claimed the life of Mastodon co-founder, guitarist, and vocalist Brent Hinds. The influential heavy metal innovator passed away on August 20, 2025, at the age of 51, following a fatal collision at a major intersection in Atlanta, Georgia. Over the course of the nearly a year since his untimely death, the global music community has honored Hinds with various celebrations of life and installations—including a stunning stained-glass piece at the Hellfest festival grounds in France. This latest tribute, however, brings the remembrance directly back to his adopted hometown community where his musical legacy first began to take shape.

The newly installed four-panel memorial sits directly at the intersection where the collision occurred, featuring an intentional balance of celebration and public awareness. The tribute displays two prominent photographs of Hinds alongside two dedicated signs. The first reads, "In loving memory of Brent Hinds. January 16, 1974 – August 20, 2025. You are loved and missed by so many," while the adjacent panel displays a vital motorcycle awareness warning to passing drivers: "Look twice! Save a life!" Hinds' former bandmates in Mastodon shared a video documenting the roadside tribute to their official Instagram page, accompanying the footage with a caption stating, "The people of Atlanta showing love for Brent.

"What is your absolute favorite Mastodon riff or vocal performance from Brent Hinds' incredible 25-year run with the band?

From Ashes to New have taken a fierce stand against online harassment while launching their powerful new single, "Die For You," to rock radio. Culled from their recently released fifth studio album, Reflections, the track serves as the official follow-up to "Drag Me"—the Lancaster, Pennsylvania quintet's first-ever No. 1 hit at Active Rock radio. "Die For You" is already on a massive trajectory, accumulating over 11 million global streams and rapidly outpaced several mainstays on the charts.

The track’s impact went viral after the band shared a video of a female fan passionately singing along at a recent show. When internet trolls targeted her with bullying remarks in the comment section, the band immediately intervened. Co-vocalist Matt Brandyberry took to the stage at their next performance to publicly call out the toxic behavior, while the band reached out to the fan directly to grant her a lifetime guest list spot at all future From Ashes to New concerts. Reflecting on their own childhood experiences with bullying, Brandyberry and co-vocalist Danny Case emphasized their unwavering commitment to keeping their fanbase a safe space, with Case bluntly rejecting the classic "ignore the haters" advice in favor of aggressively confronting online abuse.

Expanding on their dedication to fan mental health, the band has teamed up with Fandiem and HeartSupport—the mental health non-profit founded by August Burns Red frontman Jake Luhrs—to launch an exclusive flyaway campaign. The charitable partnership will award a lucky winner a VIP trip to the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville this September, complete with flights, hotel accommodations, a signed guitar, and side-stage access during From Ashes to New’s set.

What do you think of the band's aggressive stance against internet bullying, and have you checked out their new album Reflections yet?
