Diamond-certified alternative metal titans Evanescence officially kicked off their highly anticipated 2026 world tour with a massive, surprise-filled performance at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. Frontwoman Amy Lee and company pulled out all the stops for the opening night, loading the 21-song setlist with a staggering number of live debuts. Chief among the night's biggest surprises was the long-overdue live premiere of "Like You," a deeply emotional, non-single track from the band's 2006 double-platinum sophomore studio album, The Open Door, which had never been performed live in the two decades since its release.

The blockbuster concert served as the ultimate live launching pad for the band's sixth studio album, Sanctuary, which officially arrived just last week via BMG. Refusing to ease fans into the new era, Evanescence remarkably performed all 12 tracks from the new record over the course of the evening. The show opened with a heavy-hitting introductory sequence featuring the live debuts of the album's title track, "Tell Me When You've Had Enough," and the recent hit single "Afterlife," before later weaving in fresh anthems like "Rapture," "Self Destruct," "Calm Down," and the cinematic slow-burn closer "Wide Open Heart."

Adding to the historic energy of the tour opener, the night also featured an elite, star-studded collaborative moment during the encore. Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante and members of the Nova Twins—who are joining forces with the band as primary support acts on the global trek—stormed the stage to join Lee for an explosive, high-octane rendition of the non-album track "Fight Like a Girl." Backed by massive new stage production and a setlist that seamlessly bridged nostalgia with their boldest electronic-tinged rock material to date, Evanescence proved they are entering their latest chapter at the absolute height of their powers.

Los Angeles modern rock mainstays Stitched Up Heart have officially released their highly anticipated new studio album, Medusa, via Judge & Jury Records. Alongside the full-length collection's arrival, the band has premiered a striking new music video for the heavy-hitting title track, “Medusa,” which features a powerful guest vocal appearance from Lyric Noel. The anthemic single centers on deep themes of personal empowerment, inner transformation, and overcoming betrayal, while its accompanying visual treatment draws heavily from classic Greek mythology to completely reimagine the legendary story of Medusa.

Beyond the title track, the record stands out as an incredibly collaborative effort, boasting a star-studded lineup of guest features from across the modern metalcore and hard rock landscape—including prominent appearances by Butcher Babies, Nonpoint, Conquer Divide, Lauren Babic, and Eyes Set to Kill.

Today marks the 56th birthday of Weezer's brilliant, eccentric, and fiercely creative mastermind, Rivers Cuomo. Born on June 13th, 1970, the celebrated singer, songwriter, and guitarist has spent more than three decades serving as the primary creative engine behind some of the most defining alternative and power-pop music in rock history. From the generation-defining hooks of 1994's Blue Album and the raw, introspective cult-classic architecture of 1996's Pinkerton, straight through to modern radio mainstays, Cuomo has continuously pushed the boundaries of traditional rock songwriting with a brilliant mixture of vulnerable lyricism, heavy guitar riffs, and indelible pop sensibilities.

Known just as much for his technological curiosity, vast catalog of unreleased demos, and unique fan interactions as he is for his massive hits like "Buddy Holly," "Say It Ain't So," and "Island in the Sun," Cuomo remains a vital and incredibly prolific force in the modern music landscape. As Weezer continues to pack out venues worldwide and surprise audiences with their relentless studio output, fans and musicians globally are raising a glass today to celebrate the lasting legacy and quirky genius of a true rock original.

The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins has spoken out candidly regarding the growing prevalence of mobile devices at live shows, admitting that he finds it incredibly dull to perform when an audience is buried in their screens. Speaking on a new episode of his popular YouTube channel, Justin Hawkins Rides Again, the veteran vocalist addressed indie-pop star Phoebe Bridgers's recent announcement that her upcoming "The Lost Tour" will mandate a completely phone-free environment by utilizing locking Yondr pouches. Hawkins revealed that while he has seriously considered implementing a similar policy for his own band, the financial overhead and logistical hurdles have proven somewhat impractical for their current operations.

Reflecting on his own 30-year career on stage, Hawkins noted how drastically the live atmosphere has shifted from fans being entirely in the moment to viewing spectacles through a digital lens. He recalled a literal stage-diving disaster in Luxembourg where fans failed to catch him because they were too busy filming, and admitted he frequently stops the band's multi-platinum anthem, "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," when the energy suddenly dies. "All the phones come out, and so often I have to stop the song because it's, like, 'Fucking hell, where's the vibe gone?'" Hawkins explained. "Actually take part in the experience of it, connect with the band that you've paid that money to go and see... For me, it's boring to play to them."

The flamboyant rock icon isn't alone in his stance, as the active rock and metal communities have increasingly spearheaded the anti-phone movement. Heavy hitters like Tool enforce strict, zero-tolerance policies until their final song, while Iron Maiden actively requested fans pocket their devices on their newly launched "Run For Your Lives" world tour. Hawkins pointed directly to theatrical Swedish metal titans Ghost—who completely banned phones across their massive 2025 and 2026 tour cycles following the filming of their Rite Here Rite Now concert movie—as a primary example of how a phone-free room elevates the music. "I went to see Ghost, actually, and it is a really spectacular viewing experience," Hawkins prai…

A powerhouse collective of heavy music veterans have officially joined forces to launch a new outfit called With A Vengeance, sharing a blistering first teaser for their upcoming debut single, “Shared Light.” The group has locked in an official premiere date of July 17th for the track's accompanying music video, marking the first time the full piece will be heard. The project's origins are deeply rooted in a massive behind-the-scenes business maneuver; the band originally formed when frontman Tommy Vext and guitarist Chris Cain attempted to acquire the official legal rights to the Bad Wolves name to launch a full-scale relaunch of that band. However, after a reported seven-figure deal ultimately fell through, the duo shifted gears and chose to build an entirely new creative entity from the ground up.

To round out the sonic landscape of the new endeavor, Vext and Cain have assembled an elite, virtuoso-level backing lineup of familiar scene mainstays. The complete With A Vengeance roster features renowned progressive guitar wizard Angel Vivaldi, alongside groove-heavy bassist Xander Raymond Charles and powerhouse drummer Austin D’Amond—an accomplished percussionist recognized for his time behind the kit in Chimaira, Bleed The Sky, and Verona On Venus.

While specific details regarding a larger full-length studio record or future touring itineraries are still developing, the impending summer release of "Shared Light" marks a highly anticipated statement of intent from the veteran musicians. The quick teaser clip is currently streaming across the band's official channels, showcasing a glimpse of the heavy, melodic metal architecture that fans can expect when the full track and cinematic music video officially land in mid-July.

Alternative rock powerhouse Des Rocs—the moniker of New York artist Danny Rocco—has officially returned with his bruising, blistering, and cinematic new studio album, To Hell and Back. Serving as the highly anticipated follow-up to 2023’s acclaimed Dream Machine, the new 11-track collection marks a determined, fearless climb into the towering heights of classic hard rock maximalism. Driven by the explosive momentum of its lead single, “The Juice,” the full record is available now across all digital streaming platforms, with physical collectors able to secure various specialized vinyl and CD formats via the artist's webstore and Amazon.

To achieve the massive scale driving the project, Rocco purposefully pushed back against modern, over-polished studio production methods, opting instead to capture a raw, dangerous sonic landscape. “I wanted to make something that felt huge,” Rocco explained in an official press statement. “A sonic explosion that would hit like a freight train. But more than anything, I wanted to capture the natural energy of the band in a way that feels rare now. We recorded the entire album live in the heart of New York City. You can hear the room, the chaos, the humanity in it.”

The arrival of the new album serves as the perfect ammunition for the band's upcoming touring cycle. To properly bring the chaotic energy of To Hell and Back to the international stage, Des Rocs has locked in an extensive itinerary of headlining and festival tour dates across the UK and Europe, scheduled to launch this fall.
