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?

Sharon Osbourne and her daughter Kelly Osbourne were special guests backstage at London Stadium on Sunday, July 5th, attending Metallica’s final stop of their massive, three-year M72 world tour. The emotional appearance coincided exactly with the one-year anniversary of the historic Back to the Beginning concert at Birmingham's Villa Park in 2025. That monumental event marked the final live performance of the original Black Sabbath lineup and frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who tragically passed away from a heart attack just over two weeks later on July 22nd, 2025. Metallica took to Instagram following Sunday's tour finale to share photos of the backstage reunion, writing, "One year after ‘Back to the Beginning,’ we were thrilled to see some familiar faces for #M72London. We miss you,Ozzy!"

The salute to the Prince of Darkness extended straight onto the stage during the concert. After being handed a fan-made sign from the crowd that read "Do It For Ozzy," bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett dedicated their nightly local "doodle" jam segment entirely to the late heavy metal pioneer. Acknowledging the profound weight of the anniversary,Trujillo led the duo into a heavy live mashup of Black Sabbath’s "Electric Funeral"—marking the first time Metallica has ever performed that specific track live in their career—blended with the Sex Pistols' "Holiday in the Sun." The fitting stadium tribute provided a deeply personal circle of closure for both the band and the Osbourne family exactly one year after sharing the stage for Sabbath's final bow.

What did you think of Metallica's historic "Electric Funeral" tribute to Ozzy,and did you catch any of the massive final dates of the M72 world tour this weekend?

Sammy Hagar has fired back at critics defending his planned involvement in the Freedom 250 Independence Day event at Washington, D.C., on the Fourth of July. The former Van Halen frontman was scheduled to be a major surprise musical performer for the historic 250th anniversary celebration of the United States. However, severe thunderstorms completely washed out the musical portion of the evening, forcing sets by Hagar, southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd, and country singer Gretchen Wilson to be entirely canceled. Despite the music being rained out, the event moved forward with a speech from President Donald Trump, a performance by the U.S. Air Force Band, and fireworks, sparking immediate social media backlash from fans outraged by Hagar's association with the political event.

Taking to social media to directly address the anger, Hagar fiercely pushed back against the narrative, stating, "This is not a political thing! This is the celebration of our country’s birthday no matter who the president is at this time." The 78-year-old rocker urged fans to look past partisan division, emphasizing that the milestone was about celebrating 250 years of American survival while expressing hope that the future would see an end to hate, violence, and prejudice.

In a follow-up post, the Red Rocker shared an image of a handwritten, unity-focused speech he had been practicing nightly on tour to deliver right as the intro to the classic Van Halen anthem "Right Now." The unsentimental message urged Americans to come together, respect one another, and remember that "United We Stand, Divided We Fall." Following the soggy holiday weekend in Washington, Hagar is immediately pivoting back to the stage, heading to England for a short run of performances beginning July 6th before bringing his highly successful Best of All Worlds residency back to Las Vegas this September.

Sammy note reads: "Right now we are celebrating our country’s 250th birthday & right now would be a good time to reunite this country. Come together right now. Stop the violence. Stop the hate. Right now is a good time to show some love & respect to our fellow brothers & sisters. Let’s not be prejudiced. Let’s all…

Kerry King and his solo band officially broke a nine-month live performance hiatus on Saturday, July 4th, with a crushing headlining set at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The legendary Slayer guitarist and his solo outfit stepped up to headline the festival's Miller Lite Oasis stage after original headliners Megadeth pulled out of the appearance back in April citing an unforeseen scheduling conflict. Fans in attendance captured extensive video footage of the high-energy performance, marking the band's first collective time back on a live stage since wrapping up their initial touring cycles last fall.

The powerhouse lineup—featuring Death Angel vocalist Mark Osegueda, former Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel, Hellyeah bassist Kyle Sanders, and fellow Slayer alumnus Paul Bostaph on drums—delivered a blistering 16-song setlist. Beyond tracks from their May 2024 debut record, From Hell I Rise, the band treated the Milwaukee crowd to a handful of iconic Slayer anthems like "Raining Blood," "Disciple," and "Repentless," alongside a special cover performance of Black Sabbath's "Wicked World." The successful live return adds fuel to persistent industry rumors that King and his bandmates silently tracked a second studio album this past April, with an official release expected later this year and a heavy supporting tour heavily rumored for 2027.

Were you in the crowd at Summerfest to see Kerry King's solo band take over the headlining spot, or are you holding out for official confirmation on his second solo album?

Oasis have officially unveiled the first teaser trailer for their upcoming documentary film, Don’t Look Back in Anger. The 46-second clip offers a rare look behind the scenes, capturing early rehearsal footage of the Britpop legends ahead of their massive 2025 world tour. The stadium trek famously ended a bitter, 16-year public feud between formerly estranged brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. The trailer highlights the sharp contrast of their historic reunion by overlaying the rehearsal footage with a vintage voiceover from Noel admitting, "I just don’t see myself on stage with Liam, I just don’t see it."

The documentary is scheduled to premiere globally in select IMAX and standard movie theaters on September 11th, followed by a wide streaming release on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States later this year. The film's rollout caps off an incredible wave of cultural momentum for the band, who smashed box-office records last year with sold-out stadium performances worldwide, including major U.S. stops at MetLife Stadium and the Rose Bowl. The cinematic announcement also arrives just as the band is preparing to be formally inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of the 2026 class in Los Angeles on November 14th.

Did you manage to catch Oasis live during their massive 2025 reunion tour, or will you be heading to IMAX this September to watch the Gallagher brothers' historic return to the stage?
