"Check out our brand new song SWERVE (ft. Jason Aalon Butler from Fever333 & Sueco) from our forthcoming new album!" - Papa Roach

"This track came at the very end of the writing process for our upcoming album and truly feels like the culmination of years of experimenting with our sound coming back to a new version of Papa Roach. We're kicking off this new chapter of our careers with a next-level track and couldn't imagine doing it with anyone other than Jason and Sueco." - Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix

"This is one of the favorite songs I've ever made. Papa Roach has been an inspiration of mine since I was a kid, so working with them was super dope and a dream come true!" - Sueco

"I've said it before and I'll say it again- this band has somehow managed to be a legacy AND relevant all at once. So, naturally, when I got the call to hop on this track there was no question. With Sueco doing his thing the track's got 3 different vibes that all work together. This shit is different and that's exactly what rock needs. More DIFFERENT Shit. Thanks to these modern legends for making sure it happened." - Jason Aalon Butler

The genre-bending banger was produced by Colin "Doc" Brittain and Nick Furlong (All Time Low, A Day To Remember, Avicii), and features the saxophone stylings of co-collaborator Spencer Nezey, a singletrack showcasing Papa Roach's bravado at an all-time high.

Along with today's song release, Papa Roach have also announced that they have entered into a new global distribution and marketing services agreement with ADA Worldwide (WMG's independent label and artist services arm). In addition, Papa Roach have also reactivated their own label, "New Noize Records," a second incarnation of their early 2000's label enterprise.

R.I.P. # 1...Joey Jordison...founding member and drummer of Slipknot, has died at the age of 46.... :( (SLIPKNOT Tribute Video added)

JJSK14Q
Joey's family released an official statement earlier today (July 27th)

"We are heartbroken to share the news that Joey Jordison, prolific drummer, musician and artist passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 26th, 2021. He was 46. Joey's death has left us with empty hearts and feelings of indescribable sorrow. To those that knew Joey, understood his quick wit, his gentle personality, giant heart and his love for all things family and music. The family of Joey have asked that friends, fans and media understandably respect our need for privacy and peace at this incredibly difficult time. The family will hold a private funeral service and asks the media and public to respect their wishes."

Jordison was a founding member of Slipknot and was with the band from its inception in 1995 until his departure in 2013. Of the nine members, he was regarded as "Number 1." He later revealed that he suffered from transverse myelitis, a neurological disease that limited his the ability to play the drums. Not only was he one of metal's premier drummers, he was a key songwriter in the group, responsible for co-writing some of Slipknot's best-known songs. Jordison went on to perform with Scar The Martyr, The Rejects, and Sinsaenum. While he was still in Slipknot, he also played guitar in the band Murderdolls.

Slipknot and the band's current members have honored late co-founding drummer Joey Jordison by blacking out their social media. 
UPDATE: SLIPKNOT paid tribute to Joey..."Our hearts go out to Joey's family and loved ones at this time of tremendous loss. Joey Jordison's art, talent, and spirit could not be contained or be held back. Joey's impact on Slipknot, on our lives, and on the music that he loved, is incalculable. Without him there would be no us. We mourn his loss with the entire Slipknot family. We love you, Joey."  -SLIPKNOT (video below)

Condolences to Joey Jordison's family, friends, and bandmates....Bear witness to his incredible skills here (Slipknot's performance of "Psychosocial" at the 2009 Roskilde festival)

Presents coming from Ozzy and Zakk in September for the 30th Anniversary Of “No More Tears”

OOZW-NMT30
"No More Tears" is turning 30 and Ozzy Osbourne plans on celebrating his 6th studio album in style with a special 30th anniversary edition. The 1991 4x multi-platinum "No More Tears" will be released September 17th through Sony. The expanded edition will be available digitally, and on black, yellow and red vinyl.

Pre-orders are available here. https://ozzyosbourne.lnk.to/NMTVinylAW

"I have a lot of great memories of making the album. We worked hard on the record with John Purdell and Duane Baron, who became extra two members of the band. Before we went into the studio, we discussed what we were going to do — everything was planned. It's so nice when you get a producer who's more like a part of the band than them saying, 'nah, you do it this way.' Because we write them and when you write the songs, you have a mental picture of how you think you want it to sound. Sometimes you're surprised for the better, but other times you're disappointed, but John and Duane did an extraordinary job on the album. It was really, really well done. Every song was worked on for a long time and we spent extra time trying to get things right. But there was also lots of goofing around and we had a good time making it. And Zakk's playing on it is spectacular." - Ozzy Osbourne

"On the first record, it was, like, 'I can't believe I'm here.' I had definitely crawled into the fire and kept thinking. 'You gotta produce. You got to come up with some cool stuff.' On 'No More Tears', I guess I was more relaxed. With Ozzy, whenever we're playing riffs, he would be like 'keep playing that riff.' Pretty much every time he just gets up there and starts singing what comes to him naturally, he knocks it out of the park all the time. I mean, there's very, very few times where he's actually said, 'No, let me come back to that. I don't like what I'm singing. I'll come up with something better.' Whatever you're hearing on the record is pretty much first thing he started singing that naturally came out of him, that he started hearing in his head. Which is amazing. My love for him and admiration for him has just gotten even stronger and bigger over the years. It's bigger than the music. It's always a good time whenever we're together, it's always like it's a laugh fest, and then making the records is beyond hilarious as well." - Zakk Wylde

Love And Death (Brian "Head" Welch of Korn) Debut “Let Me Love You” Video, Lacey Sturm Guests

LDP2021
Love And Death, fronted by Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, have premiered the official music video for their cover of DJ Snake & Justin Bieber's song "Let Me Love You". Former Flyleaf vocalist Lacey Sturm guests on this track, which can be found on Love And Death's latest album, "Perfectly Preserved".

"'LMLY' has been one of my favorite tracks to cover. It's so enjoyable to me making a pop song super heavy. Having three vocalists perform on the track was unique as well and I love the way mine, Lacey and JR [Bareis]'s voices blend together. When I asked Lacey to do the song with us I had no idea what the lyrics would mean to her at that particular time. After discovering what she was going through, my main hope with the song was that Lacey would find healing, and that healing might extend to anyone struggling in life who heard the track. "The 'never give up' message that directors Sebastien Paquet and Alison Roberto worked hard to convey in the music video profoundly mirrored some of the conversations Lacey and I were having behind the scenes, without either director having prior knowledge of the conversations, so we were very blown away by that and we're so proud of what we achieved here with this song and video. Art is so much more powerful than we think." - Brian "Head" Welch

"Working with Love And Death on 'Let Me Love You' was sort of a supernatural experience. I was mourning the loss of a loved one when I recorded the song. Mourning is a multifaceted process and sort of comes in waves. They asked me to do the song at a very dark moment in that process. When I went to sing in the studio the lyrics were everything I wanted to sing and scream in response to this death; which felt like such a theft." - Lacey Sturm
