Multi-platinum alternative rock staples Hoobastank have officially broken their long studio silence with the release of a brand-new single, “How Do You Sleep?” Marking the band's first piece of completely original material since their 2018 studio album Push Pull, the track features high-end sonic production overseen by acclaimed rock producer Howard Benson—famed for his definitive work with My Chemical Romance, P.O.D., and Halestorm. Alongside the track's streaming debut, the group has shared an eye-catching new music video directed by Matt Akana, which is available to watch online now.

The arrival of fresh music serves as the perfect ammunition for what promises to be an incredibly active year on the road. This fall, Hoobastank will join forces with Staind as primary support on the massive "Break The Cycle" 25th anniversary tour, sharing a heavyweight lineup that also features Seether and Hinder. Ahead of that autumn arena trek, the "The Reason" hitmakers are set to dominate the summer circuit with various individual live appearances, alongside highly anticipated festival sets at both the Long Beach and Orlando stops of this year’s resurrected Vans Warped Tour, before heading overseas for a select run of international dates.

A Perfect Circle founding guitarist Billy Howerdel has confirmed that the band is actively working on more new music following the arrival of their late-May single, "Starless." Speaking with Kevin Kellam of Minneapolis's 93X radio station while on the road overseas, Howerdel gave fans a glimpse into the group's current creative pipeline, revealing that a full-length follow-up to 2018's Eat The Elephant is steadily being pieced together behind the scenes.

"There's more [music] underway," Howerdel revealed. "In the spirit of soft deadlines, I'm not gonna give you the date, but we're working toward something." The band launched an extensive European tour in London in early June, which Howerdel admitted makes the actual recording process difficult to navigate. "We're on tour. It's hard to get solid things done when you're out here... to get real cracking on to the new album, it's gonna be... I need a couple more of these days to line up over the next tour."

Howerdel also opened up about his enduring studio synergy with vocalist Maynard James Keenan, praising the Tool and Puscifer frontman's unparalleled drive and execution. "When it's time to work, we're kind of in it. And it's not super serious all the time, but it's focused," Howerdel explained. "He's at least in the top three hardest-working people I know that have real vision, conviction... Once the train starts rolling, it's rolling. Our soft deadlines are pretty intense. They're meant to be hit... it's a fire lit under your ass."

The update comes as their recent single "Starless"—which was produced by Howerdel at his Lankershim Ranch Studio, mixed by Matty Green, and features longtime powerhouse collaborator Josh Freese on drums—continues to make waves. Hardcore collectors can currently secure a limited-edition seven-inch vinyl version of the track via Revolver, which features a custom etching of the band's iconic crescent logo on the B-side and comes in two specialized color variants.

Speaking backstage at the UK's Download Festival with Rock Sound's James Wilson-Taylor, Hollywood Undead vocalist Johnny 3 Tears dropped a massive update regarding the band's release strategy, confirming that a brand-new studio album is officially slated to arrive at the beginning of next year. Furthermore, the frontman cleared up some confusion regarding their massive string of recent musical outputs, revealing that none of the hit tracks they have dropped over the past several months will actually appear on the forthcoming record.

"We'll put a new record out at the beginning of next year, it looks like," Johnny 3 Tears revealed. "So we're probably not gonna drop any songs till then, or maybe another song. But none of the songs we put out [in recent months] will be on the record. Those are all just releases, standalone songs." The singer applauded rock music's recent structural shift toward mimicking hip-hop and pop release cycles by pushing out consistent standalone tracks rather than waiting multiple years between album cycles. "For a long time, you had to wait two years to put out material, till the record ran its course. Now we'll just put out songs... we wrote it. Why not?"

The definitive confirmation means that massive Sumerian Records hits like their October 2024 debut "Hollywood Forever," 2025's dark anthem "SAVIOR," the Slayer-sampling "1x1," and the Jeris Johnson-assisted "All My Friends" exist purely as an independent creative era. The announcement lands directly on the heels of their latest standalone drop, "Feels Like Home"—a bruised, deeply melodic anthem dealing with pain and belonging.

The multi-platinum rap-rock powerhouse is currently closing out an extensive European summer festival trek before heading back stateside for a packed domestic schedule. Fans will have plenty of opportunities to catch the masked icons live before the new album drops, as Hollywood Undead are officially set to co-headline the highly anticipated return of the legendary Taste of Chaos tour this fall alongside In This Moment, with support from I See Stars, Vana, and Melrose Avenue kicking off on September 22nd.

Daughtry frontman Chris Daughtry has officially confirmed that the band is already hard at work on their next full-length studio album, joining forces with highly acclaimed British musician, producer, and songwriter Jordan Fish. Speaking with Rock Sound's James Wilson-Taylor backstage at Download Festival, the singer revealed that the upcoming LP will serve as the official follow-up to 2021's Dearly Beloved and will mark their first batch of completely fresh material since capping off their recent multi-part era.

"We are in the writing process," Chris Daughtry enthusiastically shared. "I can say this, 'cause I posted about it, but I'm working with Jordan Fish. And we are a few songs deep right now. And it's going amazing. So we're getting back together later in the year to finish writing. Yeah, it's exciting... There's some heat. I'm just going ahead and let you know, there's some heat going on."

Praising the former Bring Me The Horizon member's distinct production style, Daughtry pointed to Fish's recent studio work on Evanescence's brand-new record Sanctuary as the perfect example of his collaborative philosophy. "You can hear some Jordan Fish-isms, but it's clearly an Evanescence record," Daughtry noted. "I think it's great that he keeps that in mind with who he's working with, as a fan of the band and really bringing out the best in what they already do. So, I think that's the goal with us as well."

The new writing sessions arrive right on the heels of the band's June 5th vinyl-exclusive launch of Shock To The System (Deluxe) via Big Machine Rock. The massive double-LP collection beautifully unified the full scope of the band's recent two-part EP project—which tackled heavy themes of grief, recovery, and self-reclamation—alongside bonus live tracks. The era proved to be a massive commercial and critical triumph for the 21st-century rock staples, earning Daughtry their first-ever No. 1 single at Active Rock radio with the industrial-tinged track "Artificial," followed by another chart-topper with "Pieces," and landing Chris Daughtry the title of Billboard's "Most Played Artist" at active rock.

Rock icon Rod Stewart has landed in hot water with his fanbase after being spotted celebrating at a FIFA World Cup soccer match less than 24 hours after abruptly canceling a major California tour stop due to an alleged vocal illness. The 81-year-old singer was scheduled to take the stage at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in San Diego on Friday night, June 12th, as part of his high-profile "One Last Time" farewell tour. However, ticketholders were stunned when organizers officially axed the gig just 40 minutes before it was set to begin.

Initial statements from live event organizers blamed a sudden sinus infection, and Stewart later posted an apology on social media, clarifying that doctors had diagnosed him with an acute upper respiratory infection and severe laryngitis that rendered him physically unable to sing. While most fans were initially understanding of the last-minute medical emergency, that goodwill completely evaporated on Saturday morning. Stewart took to Instagram to post a high-energy video of himself boarding a private jet with his sons, enthusiastically singing "No Scotland, no party!" as they flew across the country to Boston to watch Scotland play Haiti.

The post instantly sparked fierce backlash online, with hundreds of furious, disappointed concertgoers questioning how the singer could appear entirely energetic, active, and vocally strong while thousands of fans in San Diego were left stranded at the venue. Fueling the fire, widespread photos and video footage from the stadium in New England showed a smiling Stewart draped in Scottish colors in the stands, with multiple alcoholic beverages visible in front of him.

A representative for the legendary artist quickly stepped in to defend the cancellation to The San Diego Union-Tribune, insisting the medical diagnosis was entirely genuine. According to the rep, Stewart was physically present at the venue on Friday and underwent multiple rounds of emergency steroid treatments in a desperate bid to get his vocal cords functioning. "Evidently, [the steroids] kicked in, but too late for the show," the representative explained. Despite the explanation, frustrated fans are continuing to …
Tragedy has struck the music world as eccentric alternative pop star, producer, and comedian Oliver Tree has died at the age of 32 following a catastrophic helicopter accident in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to local civil aviation authorities and CNN Brasil, the collision occurred on Sunday morning over the Recreio dos Bandeirantes neighborhood in Rio's western zone. Two helicopters collided mid-air, with one plummeting into an electric vehicle dealership lot, igniting an intense electrical fire that was eventually subdued by emergency responders. 

Tragically, authorities have confirmed there are no survivors from the incident, which claimed a total of six lives.  Local police reports indicate that Oliver Tree (born Oliver Tree Nickell) was traveling with four other individuals in one of the aircraft. The victims on board that helicopter have been identified as passengers Lucas Vignale, Gaspar Prim, and Lucas Brito Chaves, alongside pilot Alexandre Souza. The sole occupant of the second helicopter, pilot Charles Marsillac, also perished in the crash. An official, comprehensive investigation by Brazilian aviation authorities and the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro is currently underway to determine the exact mechanics and cause of the mid-air disaster. 

The shocking news cuts short the life of one of the modern music landscape's most genuinely unique visual and sonic provocateurs. Tree first broke into the industry in 2010 as a teenager working alongside electronic heavyweights Skrillex and Zeds Dead before taking a temporary hiatus to study music technology. He skyrocketed to global viral fame with the release of his gold-certified 2020 debut studio album, Ugly Is Beautiful, spearheaded by the multi-platinum, chart-topping smash hit single "Life Goes On." Known for his signature bowl cut, oversized JNCO jeans, and elaborate performance art alter-egos, he continuously blurred the lines between music and comedy across subsequent records Cowboy Tears and Alone in a Crowd. 

The multi-talented artist was in South America as part of his ongoing global tour cycle, having just performed a major show in São Paulo eight days prior. The tragic accident occurred …
Speaking backstage on Saturday, June 13th at the UK's Download Festival in Donington Park, Trivium frontman Matt Heafy dropped a massive update regarding the band's highly anticipated eleventh studio album. Currently scheduled for a tentative late 2026 release, the upcoming LP will mark the band's very first full-length effort to feature elite powerhouse drummer Alex Rüdinger (formerly of Whitechapel), who officially stepped behind the kit last October to replace Alex Bent. According to Heafy, the newly unified lineup is currently sitting on an absolute masterpiece.

"We have Rudi now on drums, who we tried to get 10 years ago," Heafy told Rock Sound. "And for those 10 years, he told us that he wondered and regretted every day not being in the band. And now we finally have him. We're sitting on arguably our greatest album of all time. It's not out yet. We're still mixing it. So I think this is a new chapter." Heafy revealed that the band immediately threw Rüdinger into the deep end on his first day at their Hangar Studios in Orlando, Florida, forcing him to collaboratively write brand-new music from scratch rather than just practicing the existing live set list.

The songwriting explosion effectively altered the trajectory of the material initially captured on their Struck Dead three-song EP, which dropped via Roadrunner Records last autumn. Bassist Paolo Gregoletto and guitarist Corey Beaulieu explained that the tracking sessions—which channeled the raw, heavy energy of their landmark album Ascendancy—were originally intended to kick off the next full record. However, when their high-profile "The Poisoned Ascendancy" co-headlining tour with Bullet For My My Valentine wrapped up earlier than anticipated, the band chose to pivot, preserving those tracks as a standalone musical time capsule so they could start entirely fresh with Rüdinger.

Promising that fans attending Download would witness a completely evolved, sharper, and reinvigorated band compared to their appearance at Bloodstock last August, Heafy made it clear that Trivium is operating at an unprecedented creative peak. "It's a completely different Trivium now. Better than ever in every single facet of …
All That Remains vocalist Phil Labonte has doubled down on his controversial political stances, claiming that society is actively failing young men and declaring that traditional mental health therapy is fundamentally useless for males. Appearing on a new episode of Today’s Boondoggle Podcast, the outspoken metalcore frontman—who recently shifted his public alignment from libertarianism toward right-wing independent politics—outlined what he perceives as a "silent crisis" stripping men of their foundational purpose.

Expanding on a previous op-ed he penned for Fox News, Labonte argued that three decades of media representation, rising divorce rates, and left-wing feminist ideals have caused young men to completely check out of society, anesthetize themselves with substances, and abandon dating. The vocalist also took aim at career-oriented women, stating, "The idea that a woman can be the boss babe and a mother at the same time is a total lie. You cannot do both." He linked these cultural shifts directly to rising male depression and suicide rates, endorsing a pending piece of House legislation that aims to establish a dedicated White House council on fathers and sons.

When addressing solutions for male mental health, Labonte fiercely rejected modern clinical practices in favor of traditional gender roles. "The idea that men can go to therapy and that’s gonna solve their problems is ridiculous. Therapy is for women," Labonte asserted. "Men don’t solve their problems by talking. Men solve their problems through action. So men should be doing things with other men, like building things, going out and fixing cars, whatever it is... Broadly, men are different than women, and they need different things to make them feel emotionally fulfilled."

Today, the rock and metal communities are throwing it down in celebration of the birthday of one of the hardest-working, most technically gifted drummers in modern heavy music: Korn's rhythmic powerhouse, Ray Luzier. Born on June 14th, 1970, the ultra-dynamic percussionist has spent nearly two decades anchoring the groove for the multi-platinum nu-metal pioneers, seamlessly stepping into the lineup and injecting their legendary catalog with an extra dose of precision, intensity, and blistering double-bass energy.

Before permanently locking down the drum throne for Korn in 2009, Luzier had already built a formidable reputation as an elite, first-call heavy hitter across the rock landscape. His impressive pedigree includes an extensive, decade-long run driving the live band for rock royalty David Lee Roth, alongside standout stints with Army of Anyone and progressive metal supergroup KXM. Known for his signature hyper-animated playing style, meticulous stick work, and massive stadium-ready snare crack, Luzier remains a massive source of inspiration for drummers worldwide. As Korn continues to dominate festival stages and push sonic boundaries globally, fans everywhere are raising a pair of sticks today to toast the relentless energy and monster talent of a true master of the craft.

Killswitch Engage frontman Jesse Leach has opened up about a major evolution in his personal beliefs, revealing that he has officially stopped calling himself a Christian. Speaking in a candid new interview with Pennsylvania publication The Morning Call, the metalcore vocalist explained that while his religious upbringing still acts as a constant creative muse, he now identifies with a broader, more humble spiritual mindset after decades of traveling the world and witnessing the negative impacts of organized faith.

"I was raised in a very evangelical home, but we've all changed quite a bit. I stopped calling myself a Christian," Leach admitted to the publication. "I believe I am a spiritual being. I've humbled myself because I think there's a bit of arrogance in telling somebody you know the absolute truth. The more I've traveled, the more my worldview has changed. It's an acceptance that I don't have the answers, but I'm going to continue to search until the day I die."

While Leach still holds fast to positive core tenets like showing love, taking care of the poor, and being mindful of neighbors, he noted that the darker side of organized religion continues to fuel his songwriting as a form of protest. The singer blasted the hypocrisy, manipulation, and abuse of power he has witnessed within the church, specifically pointing to preachers who weaponize their pulpits to condemn marginalized groups. "The human element of organized religion is what destroys, I believe, any semblance of what a God would be," Leach expanded. "If God is truly love like a lot of religions claim, all of this segregation, separation and judgment we're doing is a total antithesis of what love is."

The thought-provoking commentary arrives as the band maintains a highly demanding live schedule. Killswitch Engage are currently traversing the United States on a massive heavy metal package tour alongside Machine Head, Iron Reagan, and Havok. The extensive trek is slated to keep the veteran metalcore outfit on the road for the remainder of the year, with upcoming festival appearances and international tour legs booked across Canada and Australia.

Evanescence avoided a major live disaster during their Friday night performance at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida. Exactly nine songs into the band's headlining set, a pyrotechnics display on the right side of the stage accidentally malfunctioned, causing the surrounding curtains and a portion of the overhead stagework to catch fire. The incident sparked right as the group was launching into "Calm Down," a standout track from their newly released sixth studio album, Sanctuary.

Remarkably, a quick-thinking stagehand instantly rushed into the frame on video, successfully subduing and extinguishing the spreading flames within seconds using what appeared to be a standard water bottle. Thanks to the crew member's lightning-fast reflexes, frontwoman Amy Lee and the rest of the band didn't even have to interrupt their performance. The transition was so seamless that the vast majority of fans in attendance at the packed amphitheater reportedly had no idea a dangerous mishap had even taken place.

The high-profile Tampa stop marked the second official date of Evanescence's massive 2026 World Tour, which kicked off just one night prior in West Palm Beach. The extensive global trek—which Lee has promised features the biggest production and longest setlists of the band's career—is hitting major markets across North America through early August alongside special guests Spiritbox and Nova Twins before heading overseas to Europe in September.

Limp Bizkit officially made history on Friday night, June 12th, shutting down the UK's legendary Download Festival with a massive, career-first headlining slot. The monumental performance marks a major milestone for the band, who famously drew the single largest crowd of the entire weekend at the exact same festival two years prior, despite only being billed second from the top of the lineup at the time.

True to form, the band tore through a high-octane, crowd-frenzied setlist packed with generation-defining anthems like "Break Stuff," "Rollin'," and their iconic cover of George Michael's "Faith." Frontman Fred Durst commanded the massive festival crowd while sporting a ridiculous new wig—a theatrical staple fans have come to expect from a modern Bizkit show. Adding to the night's highlights, the band welcomed American singer-songwriter Lauren Sanderson onstage for an explosive rendition of "Hot Dog." The onstage team-up follows a string of recent high-profile side quests for Durst, who lent a guest verse to a new version of Sanderson's single "COME SAY SUM" this past May, right alongside his feature on MGK's new track "FIX UR FACE."

The historic UK festival triumph lands directly on the heels of the band's mega-performance at Germany's Rock am Ring and a major business move. After recently taking to social media to blast a fraudulent bootleg apparel operation, warning fans that the site was "FAKE AS A MF," the band officially launched 'Morning Boy UFO'—a brand-new, authorized apparel drop for their official 'Schtuff' merchandise line. With their definitive online store finally live, Limp Bizkit is keeping their foot on the gas as they prepare for a historic winter, which will see the band head to South Africa on Sunday, December 13th, for a highly anticipated debut stadium performance at Johannesburg's FNB Stadium.
