The rock and professional wrestling communities are in mourning following the sudden death of former Every Time I Die guitarist Andy Williams, who passed away at age 48 after suffering a medical emergency during a wrestling match on September 5.

Members across the band's history have shared deeply moving tributes, remembering Williams not only for his crushing riffs and larger-than-life presence, but for his boundless kindness, humor, and ability to connect with everyone he met.

Former guitarist Jordan Buckley reflected on their nearly three decades together:

"Today is the saddest day of my entire life... Everything you read about him is true. I’ll cherish every minute we spent together, regret every minute we didn’t, and promise to spend the rest of my life being more like him. We all should. I love you so much Andy... I’ll see you in everything forever."

Bassist Stephen Micciche honored his longtime friend and bandmate, noting Williams' rare gift for making everyone feel valued:

"Andy was a lot of incredible things. But his true gift, almost cheat code like, was next level excelling at everything he put his creative mind and energy to, the infectious passion that he carried with it, always moving forward, & how he made everyone feel welcome & loved around him no matter who you were... Andy, I love you. Life will never be the same. Thank you for making me & many others better people for knowing you."

Drummer Clayton “Goose” Holyoak remembered his relentless drive to chase his dreams:

"You were a true example of kindness with a beautiful mix of chaos and adventure... You wanted to do the things that couldn’t be done. Anything you put your mind to you would attain. You showed us how to live life to the fullest and I was lucky enough to be in the seat with you."

Former frontman Keith Buckley shared a heartfelt message reading, "I love you, Big Man," while former bassist Josh Newton added: "Until next time. Tell your friends you love them. He did." Ex-drummer Daniel Davison also remembered Williams' magic on and off stage, calling him "one of the most kind and special people I’ve ever known."

Disturbed frontman David Draiman opened up about how his Jewish heritage, family background, and vocal activism have shaped his career in an in-depth conversation on The Brink podcast with host Andrew Fox.

Coming from a family of Holocaust survivors—with maternal grandparents who survived Auschwitz and Dachau—Draiman noted that defending the Jewish people has always been deeply personal, inspiring Disturbed tracks like "Never Again":

"It's a call to arms for our people. It's a refusal to back down. It's a refusal to cower in the face of adversity and in the face of the most dangerous bullies in existence... And believe me, in today's environment it would be a lot easier to not have the association. It's a burden to carry that a lot of people don't realize... I can't be the ostrich. I can't put my head in the sand. I can't pretend that the world isn't on fire around me."

Draiman also discussed the impact his outspoken stance can have on the band, expressing deep gratitude for the support of his bandmates:

"The greatest reservation and the greatest guilt that I carry isn't even from my family regarding all of this. It's for my brothers in the band who have to bear a burden that has really little to do with them other than the fact that I am their friend, and I appreciate immensely that they've been as supportive as they have been. And it hasn't been easy, and there have been conversations."

Ultimately, the singer emphasized that his convictions come down to teaching his son resilience and integrity, adding that standing by his principles matters far more than career calculations or chasing status as "the next Metallica."

Jelly Roll has had his invitation formally withdrawn from performing at the Big Blue Bash, an annual benefit for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Foundation held at Mar-a-Lago, following jokes he made while guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Kyle S. Reyes, owner of The Police Tribune and an organizer of the event, announced the decision in a statement on X, criticizing the musician's remarks:

"What I saw last week with this self-absorbed ‘artist’ bashing President Trump and Conservatives was not a man who walks in the footsteps of Jesus Christ – it was a man desperately seeking attention and relevancy from the very Godless crowd that has categorically rejected his preaching."

While an invitation had been extended to Jelly Roll on April 26, it remains unclear whether the artist had ever formally accepted the booking. Reyes stated that country singer Coffey Anderson will now perform in his place. This year's "American Superheroes"-themed event is slated to include appearances by Lou Ferrigno, Dean Cain, and Kevin Sorbo.

During his guest-hosting stint, Jelly Roll made several lighthearted cracks regarding Trump's weight and the economy, but concluded his final evening with a bipartisan call for unity:

"Human dignity isn’t Republican nor Democrat. Compassion isn’t left-wing, and mercy isn’t right-wing. Pain and healing knows no partisanship. Hurting hearts are more important than poll numbers, and there are no boundaries or borders for broken families... We may disagree. We may argue. We may vote completely differently. But let’s try not to let the couple of things we disagree about make us forget the hundreds and hundreds of things we have in common."

System Of A Down are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their landmark album Toxicity by officially bringing longtime rarity "Johnny" to digital streaming platforms for the first time.
Impericon

Originally limited to select international pressings and a UK 7-inch pairing with "Chop Suey!," the fan-favorite B-side arrives alongside a special 25th anniversary reissue bundle. Pressed on red smoke vinyl, the set includes a standalone one-sided 7-inch featuring "Johnny" with a custom etched "25" design on the reverse.

The reissue also corrects a 25-year tracklist mistake, officially renaming the hidden closing track—long misidentified as "Arto"—to its proper title, "Der Voghormia".
Blunt Magazine

Released on September 4, 2001, and produced by Rick Rubin, Toxicity redefined modern metal by fusing punishing riffs with traditional Armenian instrumentation and sharp political commentary. The record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, moved over 15 million copies worldwide, and saw signature anthem "Chop Suey!" cross two billion streams earlier this year.

The celebration will extend to the stage as the band gears up for festival and stadium appearances worldwide, including a headline slot at Sick New World in Fort Worth and international dates alongside Faith No More:

10/24 — Fort Worth, TX @ Sick New World

01/15 — Rio de Janeiro, BR @ Maracanã Stadium *

Progress is officially underway for Korn's upcoming 15th studio album, with drummer Ray Luzier recently wrapping his drum tracks for the release. The studio milestone surfaced during Luzier's appearance on Drumeo, where his drum tech, Mark Bennett, shared that the powerhouse percussionist had finished laying down his parts.

The band has deliberately taken their time shaping the follow-up to 2022's Requiem, reportedly working through an impressive pool of around 40 songs written as of earlier this year. Fans were treated to a brief taste of new music when Korn dropped the hard-hitting track "Reward The Scars" for Diablo IV, but this latest studio update signals that the official record is steadily coming together.

What direction do you want to see Korn take on their 15th studio record? Let us know in the comments below.

Journey lead singer Arnel Pineda has sparked fresh speculation among rock fans after leaving an eye-catching comment online following guest appearances by tribute vocalist Hugo Valenti.

Valenti, renowned for fronting the prominent Journey tribute band Voyage and channeling the look and vocal tone of Steve Perry, joined Journey onstage during two recent stops in Japan. He performed "Faithfully" on August 29 in Fukuoka, and returned two nights later in Tokyo to sing both "Faithfully" and the 1981 deep cut "Keep On Runnin'."

Following the Tokyo performance, musician Adam Holland shared a photo praising Valenti's guest spot. Pineda responded directly in the comments:

"That’s the band right there..now I can step back..congratulations Journey."

While Pineda still handled the majority of the setlist on both nights, the interaction quickly caught the attention of fans tracking the group's ongoing movements:

Valenti was previously considered when Journey searched for a new frontman following Steve Perry’s 1998 departure, making his live appearances a full-circle moment.

Pineda has fronted Journey since 2007, revitalizing the group’s catalog for nearly two decades across global arenas and stadiums.

Neither Journey nor Pineda has released an official statement confirming any lineup change or departure.

Sammy Hagar has officially responded after former bandmate Alex Van Halen publicly labeled him a "complete idiot" during a recent interview discussing past band memoirs.

Rather than trading insults, Hagar commented directly under a social media post covering Alex's remarks, urging an end to the public friction:

"This comment and post is so unnecessary at this time in our lives, but I guess the truth hurts sometimes. Peace already."

The exchange follows comments made by the legendary drummer while promoting his memoir, Brothers. When asked about Hagar’s 2011 autobiography Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, Alex stated: "I don’t know what he wrote, and I don’t wanna know. In my opinion, Sammy Hagar is a complete idiot." (Alex spoke far more favorably of original frontman David Lee Roth's 1997 book, Crazy From the Heat).

The two musicians have reportedly not spoken in over twenty years.

Tensions have flared recently over Alex's planned archival projects featuring unreleased material from late guitar hero Eddie Van Halen, which exclude both Hagar and longtime bassist Michael Anthony.

Hagar’s brief reply appears to be an effort to de-escalate further media back-and-forth between the surviving members.

Do you think it's time for the surviving Van Halen members to finally bury the hatchet? Let us know in the comments below.

Speaking with Triblive, rock veteran Ted Nugent addressed whether his outspoken political views have affected his industry standing or his absence from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

When asked directly if the music business has turned its back on him and whether he belongs in the Hall, Nugent brushed off the topic:

"Doesn’t matter a lick. That I am playing my most intense FUN guitar music 70 years later says everything that needs to be said. I could not be more proud of my musical integrity, imprint and legacy."

Nugent added that he remains confident in his standing with his core audience:

"Real music lovers know the power and authority of my music and they have always been there with me in force. I will be remembered by all the wonderful people who actually know me as the loving, giving, caring, hardworking, take no (crap) patriotic American who never gave up, and created nonstop amazing (buttkicker) soul music with aplomb."

Alex Van Halen pulled no punches when asked about his former bandmates' autobiographies while promoting his memoir, Brothers.

When questioned about Sammy Hagar’s 2011 book, Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock, the legendary drummer offered an unfiltered reaction:

"I don’t know what he wrote, I don’t wanna know. In my opinion, Sammy Hagar is a complete idiot."

In contrast, Van Halen had a much warmer take on original frontman David Lee Roth’s 1997 memoir, Crazy From the Heat:

"It’s quite fun and accurately reflects his sense of humor. Although the text is somewhat abstract and loses its train of thought at times, it’s still a very interesting perspective on that era."

The comments mark the latest salvo in a long-running dispute between the two musicians:

Hagar has stated the two have not spoken in over two decades, previously comparing Alex to Roger Waters and citing persistent negativity.

Tensions mounted after Alex announced an archival project featuring unfinished recordings by his late brother, Eddie Van Halen, without involving Hagar or longtime bassist Michael Anthony.

Alex continues to promote Brothers, his deeply personal tribute written to honor Eddie's life and musical legacy.

Eric Bass officially rejoined Shinedown on stage Friday night at the Field of Dreams Movie Site in Dyersville, Iowa, where the band headlined night one of the Velocity Festival.

The performance marked his first appearance with the band since stepping back from the road in July to prioritize his well-being and undergo treatment in South Carolina:

"It's killing me to not be there. I don't have a timeline for that right now. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later, but I wanna make sure that I'm safe."

During his absence, fill-in bass duties were handled by Josh Sturm and Zack Mack on the Dance, Kid, Dance Act II tour. Bass also produced Shinedown's latest studio effort, EI8HT.

Following the Iowa set, the band celebrated his return across festival photo posts with a concise message: "LFG."

BLUE MEDUSA, the new band led by former Arch Enemy and The Agonist vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, has officially released its third single and music video, "Crocodile." Co-directed alongside Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films, the dark and tense track explores the creeping dread of hidden danger. The video also marks the group's first ever full-band performance.

The release features chilling visuals and heavy vocals from Beatriz Mariano of Okkultist. Reflecting on the thematic core of the track, White-Gluz detailed the underlying tension that drives the song:

"'Crocodile.' is about that feeling that you're being watched... that instinctive dread when you know something dangerous is nearby, even though you can't see it," explains White-Gluz.

The video also showcases White-Gluz playing a custom Nik Huber guitar autographed by her and Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein. The instrument will be auctioned to raise funds for Sea Shepherd's global marine-life conservation efforts. Have you checked out the new music video yet?
