What’s happening

French metal juggernauts Gojira have announced that founding drummer Mario Duplantier is unable to travel to the United States for the band's upcoming festival appearances due to an immigration issue.

In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, the band revealed that Mario is completely heartbroken and fought hard to find a solution to make the trip. To ensure the shows go on, the group has recruited highly talented Paleface Swiss drummer Luigi Paraventi to step behind the kit on incredibly short notice.

Making light of the perfect coincidence of swapping one "Mario" for a "Luigi," Gojira added a classic gaming nod: "Player 2 has entered the game — RESPECT!"

Paraventi will be handling drum duties for the band's immediate U.S. performances, which include Rock Fest in Cadott, Wisconsin, followed by Upheaval Festival in Michigan and Inkcarceration in Ohio this weekend.

Are you catching Gojira's set at one of the festivals this weekend, and what are your thoughts on Luigi stepping up to handle these legendary drum parts?

Industrial metal pioneers Nine Inch Nails have sent their fanbase into overdrive after posting a mysterious teaser video on their social media profiles yesterday, July 15th, pointing directly to a release this Friday, July 17th.

While mastermind Trent Reznor and co. have kept specific details tightly under wraps, the cryptic video clip has sparked intense speculation across the community. Many eagle-eyed fans are linking the visual aesthetic to the band's recent collaborative project, "Nine Inch Noize," which they cooked up alongside frequent electronic tourmate Boys Noize. Current rumors suggest that this Friday's drop will likely be the highly anticipated physical vinyl release of the celebrated industrial-techno crossover effort.

The teaser has already generated massive chatter online as fans eagerly count down the hours to Friday to see exactly what Reznor has in store.

What are you hoping this Friday's release turns out to be, and did you catch the Nine Inch Noize collaboration when it first dropped?

World-renowned rock photographer Mark "Weissguy" Weiss has partnered with Rocked magazine to present a landmark photography exhibition celebrating the career of metal icon Ozzy Osbourne. Hosted at the Art Spot in Asbury Park, New Jersey, "Back To The Beginning: Remembering Ozzy Osbourne" will take fans on a visual journey spanning 44 years of rock history.

The extensive, 50-plus image exhibition bridges the beginning and end of Ozzy's legendary solo run. It is anchored by two historic bookends: Weiss's iconic August 15, 1981 rooftop portrait of Ozzy taken atop Asbury Park's own Convention Hall—now reimagined as a unique collaborative piece with New Jersey artist Pork Chop—and a photograph documenting Ozzy's emotional, final onstage reunion performance at the "Back To The Beginning" tribute concert on July 5, 2025.

The exhibition is structured around several dedicated feature spaces, including a wall inspired by the special "Back To The Beginning" edition of Rocked magazine, a dedicated display honoring Ozzy's landmark 1981 Convention Hall appearance, a section documenting Black Sabbath's legendary 1985 "Live Aid" reunion set, and a special spotlight on New Jersey guitar wizard Zakk Wylde. This final display celebrates Wylde's early years with the band after Weiss first introduced the young guitarist to Ozzy back in 1987.

The exhibition will be on public display through August 17th, with Weiss scheduled to make special appearances to meet fans, share the legendary stories behind the lens, and sign copies of his acclaimed coffee table book, The Decade That Rocked. Attendees can also purchase a special, high-gloss 105-page collector's edition of Rocked magazine featuring Weiss's exclusive photography from the historic final 2025 Birmingham gig. The Art Spot gallery is located at 1100 Ocean Avenue North in Asbury Park, New Jersey, with grand opening and signing events taking place on Thursday and Friday, July 23rd and 24th, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Kami Kehoe has officially announced her highly anticipated full-length studio album, LOVE IS A WEAPON, scheduled to arrive on August 28th via Atlantic Records. To celebrate the announcement, the breakout singer-songwriter has released her emotionally charged new single, "THE END," showcasing the raw vulnerability and soaring vocal powerhouse that has rapidly made her one of the genre's most watched artists.

Following the massive, viral success of her KANDY EP—which generated millions of streams and over 100 million views in short-form content—LOVE IS A WEAPON represents an ambitious next step. The upcoming 15-track album explores the dual nature of love as a force that can either completely destroy you or entirely rebuild you. The new single, "THE END," steps away from themes of heartbreak to focus on deep, ride-or-die devotion. "I wrote this when I was with someone who was with me, before I became successful and was willing to stay until the end, no matter how difficult things got," Kehoe shared. "I wanted the song to feel like a promise. That I would do everything I said once I had everything to give them."

On the deeper concept behind the record, Kehoe added, "Throughout this album, I wanted to use my experiences, good or bad, and turn them into something beautiful. I truly believe our hearts are the most powerful weapon we have... at the end of the day love always wins."

Kehoe's rapid rise has already earned her a spot on Pandora’s Artists to Watch in 2026, driven by massive streaming hits like "DOPAMINE," which peaked at #11 on SiriusXM Octane's "Big Uns" Countdown. Having recently wrapped up a nationwide tour with Daughtry,Seether,and P.O.D.,the singer is gearing up for an even bigger stage presence this fall. Fans can catch her supporting rock giants Breaking Benjamin,Chevelle

Entertainment legend William Shatner is set to deliver one of the most unexpected and audacious rock spectacles of the year, officially joining the celebrated lineup of Riot Fest 2026. Far from a novelty act, the Star Trek and Boston Legal icon is bringing a full-scale, hard-hitting heavy metal production to the festival stage, backed by members of Nuclear Messiah and a handpicked group of elite rock musicians.

Shatner's formidable live backing band will feature guitarist and musical director Marcus Nand, bassist Phil Soussan (famed for his work with Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Idol), guitarist Britt Lightning of Vixen, and drummer Fred Aching of Kings of Thrash. This stellar unit is prepared to bring maximum volume and cinematic intensity to the stage, transforming Shatner's iconic spoken-word delivery into a towering rock experience. "I've always believed that music, like space, is about exploration," Shatner shared. "Riot Fest is exactly the kind of place where anything can happen. We're bringing volume, intensity, and a few surprises. With this incredible band behind me, I expect nothing less than lift-off."

The high-octane Riot Fest set also serves as a massive teaser for Shatner's upcoming, ultra-ambitious heavy metal studio album with Cleopatra Records. Behind the scenes, the 95-year-old icon has been working with a legendary roster of heavy music's greatest drummers to drive the record's crushing rhythm section. The legendary Mikkey Dee (Motörhead, Scorpions) recently laid down thunderous tracks for Shatner's explosive cover of the Judas Priest classic "Living After Midnight." Other iconic drummers contributing to the project include Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Misfits), Chris Adler (Lamb of God, Megadeth), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio), and Simon Wright (AC/DC).

According to Cleopatra Records founder Brian Perera, this project is a serious, uncompromising artistic statement. The album, produced by Adam Hamilton and a heavy production team, promises to blend Shatner's commanding, raw vocal presence with top-tier metal musicianship to create something physical, theatrical, and dangerous.

During System Of A Down's headlining show at London's stadium on July 13th, guitarist Daron Malakian took the opportunity to reignite one of rock's most legendary, decades-long feuds. Right in the heart of the Brit-pop band's home country, Malakian successfully led a roaring crowd of 62,000 fans in a massive, coordinated diss aimed directly at Oasis.

The bad blood dates all the way back to the early 2000s, when Oasis mastermind Noel Gallagher famously trashed the progressive metal giants in an interview with KROQ, labeling them "the shittiest band of all time." Malakian has spent years playfully firing back—including a cheeky photo edit from a Chicago stadium show last year—but Monday night's London crowd took the retaliation to a theatrical new level.

Before launching into the band's tenth track of their blistering 30-song set, the fan-favorite anthem "Needles," Malakian paused to address the stadium. "London, do you have an ass? Everybody say ass!" he yelled to the crowd. "We have a little song about a tapeworm. Just for fun, today I'm going to name the tapeworm. Today, I'm gonna name the tapeworm Oasis. Pull Oasis out of your ass!" The massive crowd instantly followed his lead, echoing the song's iconic rhythm back to him with the chant: "Pull Oasis out of your ass!"

System Of A Down is currently wrapping up the UK leg of their highly anticipated 2026 European and UK stadium tour, with a final sold-out night in London tonight, July 15th, before heading to Poland. The metal legends are also scheduled to return to the US this autumn to headline Sick New World Texas in October.

Do you think Noel Gallagher has a response coming for Daron Malakian, or is this the ultimate payback in Oasis's hometown?

Adam Lambert recently sat down for a deep, revealing conversation on The Person Who Believed in Me, the podcast hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist David Begnaud. Looking back on his journey fronting rock legends Queen as Queen + Adam Lambert since 2012, the singer opened up about the incredible gravity of the gig, his financial success, and his self-sabotaging tendencies.

"It's been amazing. They've taught me a lot, both directly and indirectly," Lambert shared, reflecting on massive "pinch-me" moments like performing at the Queen's Jubilee on the steps of Buckingham Palace and playing his very first show with them in Kiev to millions of viewers. When asked about the financial reality of fronting one of the biggest bands in history, Lambert was refreshingly candid. "Yeah, I will say QUEEN really did put some coins in the bank, which was nice. It was really nice," he admitted. "But I kind of think, like, I've worked really hard for a really long time... and I feel like I've earned the money that I've made—I think."

The conversation also took a deeply personal turn when Begnaud noted that Lambert seemingly resists being easily categorized. "Yeah, I think there's a part of me... that I'm a bit of a contrarian," Lambert agreed, laughing as he brought up his zodiac sign. "If you get into astrology, I'm an Aquarius... I rebel against my own self-interests all the time. Like sometimes something will be good for me and I'll probably reject it." He revealed that this extends from resisting daily exercise to his love life. "If someone hits on me and they seem to be great, I'm usually, like, 'Eh, meh.' I'd rather go chase after something unavailable. It's twisted. And I've done some therapy and I've tried to unpack some of it... but at least I've gotten far enough to, like, recognize my own crap."

While Lambert confirmed there is currently "nothing on the books with Queen" as he awaits their next call, he is fully focused on his solo career. He released his highly personal sixth studio album, Adam, on July 10th via his own label, distributed by The Orchard. "Getting out there with QUEEN is a huge honor... and then when I get to do my stuff, it's scratching a diffe…

Just one day after announcing Slaughter to Prevail’s upcoming fall North American tour, frontman Alex Terrible has taken to social media to address immediate backlash regarding their handpicked support acts.

In a candid post on his Instagram account, the vocalist expressed frustration over the recurring cycle of controversy that follows the band whenever they invite openers on the road. Reflecting on the band's history, Alex noted that while fans once complained when they toured without opening acts, inviting support has repeatedly led to hostile pushback. "Every single time the same thing happens," he wrote. "Fans of those bands start calling us Nazis and say they don’t want to see their favorite bands touring with us."

Because of the recurring reputational damage and backlash faced by their touring partners, Alex admitted he personally prefers to hit the stage alone. "That’s why, personally, it’s much easier for me to tour alone, without any support acts, so they don’t have to deal with the backlash or damage to their reputation," he explained.

Directly addressing the tour's main support, rising deathcore outfit Rev3rent, Alex offered them a graceful, no-hard-feelings exit from the package if they choose to step down. "I don’t want to hurt anyone’s reputation. So if @rev3rent_ decides not to be part of this tour, I’ll completely understand and wish them nothing but the best," he stated, adding that he genuinely likes their music and believes they have a bright future. Defiantly closing out his thoughts, the frontman wrote, "As for us—a band from Russia with a bad reputation—we’ll keep walking our own difficult path. At least it’s never boring."

How do you feel about Alex Terrible's response to the tour backlash, and do you think Rev3rent should stay on the bill or step aside to avoid the controversy?
