ACE FREHLEY 1951 - 2025

Ace Frehley, the wild Spaceman of Kiss who played guitar in the band throughout their Seventies heyday and again during the reunion period in the Nineties, inspiring an entire generation of musicians to pick up the instrument along the way, died on Thursday in Morristown, New Jersey. He was 74.

Lori Lousararian, Frehley’s rep, attributed his death to a “recent fall at his home,” though a specific cause of death was not immediately available.

“We are completely devastated and heartbroken,” Frehley’s family said in a statement. “In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth. We cherish all of his finest memories, his laughter, and celebrate his strengths and kindness that he bestowed upon others. The magnitude of his passing is of epic proportions, and beyond comprehension. Reflecting on all of his incredible life achievements, Ace’s memory will continue to live on forever!”

“We are devastated by the passing of Ace Frehley,” Simmons and Stanley said in a joint statement.

“He was an essential and irreplaceable rock soldier during some of the most formative foundational chapters of the band and its history. He is and will always be a part of KISS’s legacy. Our thoughts are with [Frehley’s wife] Jeanette, [his daughter] Monique and all those who loved him, including our fans around the world.” 

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY RELEASE NEW SINGLE

This is the band’s third single release, up to the much-anticipated new Black Label Society album,

scheduled for early 2026.

“What’s going on gang? This is Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society. This is a new song called ‘Broken and Blind.’

The song is about peanut butter and chocolate and what happens when you don’t have any of it. My soul is broken and I’m blind with rage if I don’t have any peanut butter and chocolate, so there you go, it’s a new song called

‘Broken and Blind.’ Thank you, have a great day.”

ICE NINE KILLS UNLEASH TIM BURTON'S BATMAN HOMAGE

Ice Nine Kills invite you to “dance with the devil in the pale moonlight” with “The Laugh Track” their riotous homage to Gotham City’s Clown Prince of Crime. The new song and cinematic music video riffs on the Joker, particularly as portrayed by Jack Nicholson in Tim Burton’s gothic Batman.

Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas spills: “Why be a brooding bat when you can have the last laugh?

After all, Jack Nicholson got top billing in Batman ’89. While Michael Keaton’s haunted Bruce Wayne is outstanding, young Spencer was drawn more to the Clown Prince of Crime. ‘The Laugh Track’ is our homage to Tim Burton’s dark and gorgeous gothic Gotham. Batman ’89 took its comic book material seriously, but it was far from grounded,

and never forgot to have fun. It’s the same tightrope we walk in Ice Nine Kills, with broad, maniacal smiles.”

ROB ZOMBIE NEW ALBUM + NEW SINGLE

Heavy metal legend, acclaimed filmmaker and pop culture icon ROB ZOMBIE returns for his 8th studio album,

The Great Satan, out February 27th.

Following the success of his Top 10 charting record The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy (2021),

Zombie is back, revisiting his early Hellbilly roots for a slaughterhouse of anthemic punk infused heavy rock/metal.

Out is the record’s first single, “Punks And Demons,” accompanied by a video directed by Zombie.

AVATAR DROP NEW SINGLE "DEATH AND GLITZ"

The song is the newest single from the band’s new album Don’t Go In The Forest, available on October 31.

Regarding the album, Eckerström offered, “The secret ingredient is that we still feel like we’re just getting started.

Don’t Go In The Forest is an album filled to the brim with stuff we’ve never done before. It’s all songs and concepts we haven’t been close to touch until now. The mind is wild and we have lost ourselves in the darkest woods, filled with memories, and fantasies. Forbidden thoughts that must be spoken.”

He added, “It would have been impossible to make this album at any other time than now.

That’s all we ever wanted, and I think you’ll find it’s all you ever wanted too.”

LAMB OF GOD REVEALS "SEPSIS"

“’Sepsis’ is a celebration of the very underground local bands here in Richmond that we really admired when we were just forming Burn the Priest,” Mark Morton shares. “Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger though they never got widespread attention outside of Richmond, those were the bands we listened to all the time.

The song references that stuff in a way that’s a direct line to where we were coming from when we were in the basement writing our earliest material together.”

MEGADETH RELEASE NEW SINGLE "TIPPING POINT"

Megadeth have unveiled “Tipping Point” as the first single from their forthcoming self-titled final album, due out in 2026.

The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song kicks off with a thunderous guitar solo before Dave’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, Dave is locked up in a prison being tortured in extreme fashion, while the band performs in the same lock-up. In the end Dave perseveres evil and walks away into a new day.

“We all have different ‘tipping points’ and they may vary from day to day,” says Mustaine. “I think we’re all being pushed to the edge right now, and it’s easy to lean into that feeling. But it’s important not to let things get you down.”

AMORPHIS SHARE NEW SINGLE "FOG TO FOG" 

Keyboardist Santeri Kallio recalls: “I travelled as far north as I could, to the last corner of the Arctic Ocean, and there I found the inspiration for “Fog To Fog”; dead black cliffs and feelings frozen forever. A journey to the Norwegian fjords, where no one lives voluntarily…maybe the Vikings once upon a time, most likely out of necessity.”

P.O.D. COVERS THE BEATLES

“As cliché as it may sound, we’ve always admired The Beatles from the very beginning of our songwriting journey,”

says Curiel. “Their melodies, the hooks, and fearless experimentation inspired us to craft our own take on the classic ‘Don’t Let Me Down,’ with nothing but the utmost respect.

Thank you for helping lay the foundation of what we all know today as rock ‘n’ roll, pop, and metal.”

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY RELEASE VERSION OF "FIRE AND WATER"

American heavy metal icons CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are back with a special rendition of "Fire And Water" by English rock band FREE. The classic track was originally released in 1970 on the FREE album of the same name. CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's version came spontaneously in the studio during some downtime while recording their forthcoming new full-length, set for release next year, and serves as the first of the "Riffissippi Studio Jam Sessions", a special collection of jammed out interpretations of songs by some of the band's favorite artists.

Comments CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan: "When we were tracking this record,

we had a very cool space set up where we would essentially hang in the large room with everything mic'd and everything we needed, including a turntable and a bunch of our favorite records, which we would play and chill out between takes. We were hanging together, and I pulled out a FREE album and 'Fire And Water' popped up. [Drummer] Stanton Moore jumped up immediately and said, 'Who the fuck is that!?' He had never heard it before. We were baffled, but it was awesome to us that he had never heard it. He said, 'Let's cut that!' I said, 'Man, that's friggin' FREE and kind of like holy ground that you don't fuck with.' But we started thinking about it and damn, Stanton charted it out like the drum wizard he is. I said, 'I can't sing like that, man. He's the king.' Someone in the room said, 'Just sing it like you,' so we went for it and had a blast doing it. It was a nice fun break from the recording. It's nothing too serious, just a bunch of fellas leaning into it, loving the rock. It's an exercise in restraint. Hope y'all dig it."

JUDAS PRIEST RELEASE OZZY OSBOURNE CHARITY SINGLE

Judas Priest have released a charity single featuring the late Ozzy Osbourne to raise money for

Parkinson's disease charities.

The former Black Sabbath frontman was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological condition in 2019, and died in July, weeks after a farewell gig at Aston Villa.

Band member Glenn Tipton, who has also been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, features on guitar with

Rob Halford and Osbourne taking alternate vocal lines on the song.

Judas Priest's rendition of the Black Sabbath classic was released on Friday with all profits donated to the

Glenn Tipton Parkinson's Foundation and Cure Parkinson's.

ARCH ENEMY SHARE "BREAK THE SPELL"

The band comments: “’Break The Spell’ is a raw, introspective journey through despair and resilience, ‘Break The Spell’ confronts mortality, fear, and emotional collapse yet refuses to surrender. Haunting and defiant, it transforms pain into empowerment, offering strength to anyone fighting through dark times.”

Arriving ahead of Arch Enemy’s massive European tour and the release of a digital deluxe edition of their acclaimed album, Blood Dynasty, this anthem is a battle cry for survival and renewal.
