Sydney glam rockers STARCRAZY have released their new, high-energy single "What It's Worth". The song is from their upcoming self-titled album which is out on October 18th 2024.

The band comments "What It’s Worth is a reflective song about the value of creative endeavors, it questions the validity of the work that we produce as artists ie are you getting back what you put in? Does your work mean anything to other people? Is it connecting? These are the questions I think are necessary to ask yourself when writing/creating.

Musically, this song draws from late 70s power-pop with a huge backbeat that drives the song, we like to think of it as Jellyfish meets Supergrass…"

VENDED have today shared their skin-flaying new track "Serenity" and its official video. The song comes from their pummelling, self-titled, debut record, set for release on September 20.

I can never keep up the pressure
I know it’ll only get worse
I’m numb to all of the pleasures
I’m dying in reverse
I’m getting sick, sick, picking up pieces you missed
I’m tired of the bitching, complaining and shit
If I have to hear it again I might just lose it

COAL CHAMBER Fiend For The Fans Tour with Fear Factory, Twizted, & Black Satellite Rescheduled for Spring 2025! Check it out below.

 “With a heavy heart, let me tell you a story about life taking a turn, I’m writing to you from my bed.

I’ve been running 6 miles daily, I’ve been rehearsing two hours daily in my home studio and excited to hit the road, I’m excited to get on a bus with my brothers and sister and my crew. I’ d never felt better and as you all know, I fought back hard after long haul Covid tried to kill me.

Saturday morning I woke up and I was coming up my stairs. I saw flashes in my eyes. I passed out and my wife revived me. My vitals were through the roof, and I was sheet white and vomiting, and the whole world was spinning. Anahstasia called 911. I ended up in the back of an ambulance and did nine hours in the ER testing all my vitals including taking X-rays of my heart and lungs. My doctor has advised me to get a cat scan, and until further testing, I am on bedrest and must postpone the Tour. Our agent sprung into action to rebook this tour for March 2025, and until we can figure out what the fuck medically is happening.

We will see you in March 2025 on the Fiend For The Fans Tour. This tour postponement is surreal, I was looking forward to playing with my band and connecting with fans, friends and family on the road.  

I want to take a moment to thank everybody for their outpouring of love and outpouring of calls and texts checking on me. It seems like the word spread and the whole industry has been ringing my phone since Sunday; musicians, agents and managers and I really really appreciate it.

My band has been amazingly understanding and call me hourly - I thank them immensely for their caring nature.

Kiss your loved ones, no one is promised tomorrow. I’ll fight my way back to be with you all onstage you can be sure of that as well I’ll keep you all updated on my socials as to what’s going on. Apologies if this news causes you to rearrange your schedules to attend the concert with us and I want to say thank you in advance. We are all truly in the dark and I’m looking forward to finding out what’s going on. HAIL" - Dez Fafara, Coal Chamber

"After hearing the shocking news of our brother, we collectively had to make some tough decisions as a family . We discussed every possible scenario and it all lead back making sure Dez's health was the number 1 priority . In order for us to be 100% we need to take this extra time to allow him to make a full recovery so we can bring you the shows that you deserve !! We look forward to seeing you all in March 2025!!"  - Mikey Cox, Coal Chamber

"Sometimes you have to make tough decisions and I know Dez, if he could be on tour right now he would but health and family come first. We wish him a speedy recovery and we look forward to cybercrushing it on the “Fiends for the Fans”tour 2025." - Dino Cazares, Fear Factory

"It saddens us to hear about the tour, as we were hyped to see you all and get a chance to perform some of our brand new songs for the first time for you. That said, we want what's best for everyone and extend a speedy recovery to Dez & look forward rocking some shows together in the very near future." - Twiztid

"With a heavy heart, we are announcing that the Coal Chamber tour will be postponed until March 2025. A couple days ago Dez experienced a startling medical emergency. He is stable and doing okay, but needs to take the time to recover and get back to full strength. We completely stand behind him in this decision as his health is TOP priority. We are family, and are wishing Dez a speedy recovery. We all know he’s an absolute animal and will come back even stronger. We will take America by storm next year with Coal Chamber." - Black Satellite

 A new digital single from HATCHET has been unleashed and surprisingly it’s the band’s cover of the W.A.S.P. classic “Hellion” from the LA shock rockers 1984 self-titled debut album, which just celebrated its 40th anniversary last week.

“Fist-pumping, headbanging, hardest of hard rock songs is what WASP's ‘Hellion’ makes me feel. Few songs can take me from bored, sleepy, end of the day dredge to just full-on can't sit still in your seat, rockin’ out with your cock out!” reveals HATCHET singer/guitarist Julz Ramos.

“While there's definitely heavier, faster, music galore out there, something about the energy in the recording of that specific song from that early time period of the band just can't be beat. I've always wanted to play this song in some way. So here we go!

I really do have to lend a big thanks to our bassist and (ANUBIS frontman) Devin Reiche for helping with the melodic vocal duties on this one. It was a bit of a challenge for me, but with some coaching and his vocals in there thickening it up, it really enabled it to become a reality.”

“Hellion” can be heard on all streaming/download digital platforms or check it HERE https://youtu.be/V05Sa9n3Hv0?si=QA9epgSClc7Rl7TE
