"This is an era of awakening, and full of powerful beauty. I hope to inspire others to seek truth, find their own voices and use them as I step up to use mine, Don’t let anybody speak for you. Only you can do that."

It's CHINO MORENO from DEFTONES: "Ohms" was a more collaborative effort than "Gore", which saw guitarist Stephen Carpenter largely excluded from the production process. When you've made a lot of records with the same people, everybody has to be engaged, We've learned the hard way. A perfect example would be 'Gore', when Stef basically admitted, like, 'I didn't have much to do with this record.' And that was not because we didn't want him — my favorite ideas of DEFTONES songs are ones that he spearheads."
This, is "Genesis" second single from the album OHMS by DEFTONES
Swedish band AMARANTHE comments on his new single "Archangel" :
"Fire and brimstone! Savor the sweet scent of sulfur as AMARANTHE delves deep into Miltonian lore with'Archangel'!
"An ancient tale of the fall of the angel Lucifer Morningstar was interpreted as a Greek tragedy in John Milton's seminal 'Paradise Lost', and it is from this perspective we tell a brief yet momentous story of greed, betrayal, and overblown pride — an all too familiar and contemporary theme."
It's DISTURBED on covering STING's "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" :
"We have loved this song for a long time, and even though it was released in 1993, it seems strangely applicable to today's world. The song is about losing faith, and might initially sound pessimistic, but it's about the importance and power of personal relationships, and how they can save you and provide solace in an increasingly confusing world."
Broken Dreams, Inc." speaks to today's changing landscape of American society, the opportunities that are available to some but not to others, the people who are able to benefit versus those who get left behind, who suffer and end up as casualties. How do we level the playing field so everyone can have a real chance at attaining the American Dream? One word, 'disruption.' You have to put power into the hands of the people, not business, you have to value people and community over profit. You can't have a shareholder-run country or a shareholder-run world, a world that values profit above all else, because profit above all else can result in dangerous repercussions for humankind."
It's RISE AGAINST's singer Tim McIIlrath about his new single "Broken Dreams, Inc."
This, is Arjen Lucassen from AYREON: “Here is the 3rd groovy lyric video from the new Ayreon album, highlighting the lovely Simone Simons as the ruthless but deceptively cute Angel of Death in Transitus. I also love the priceless introduction by our favorite doctor, Tom Baker. And yes Ayreonauts… there are several clues to the intricate Ayreon mythology, besides the obvious reference in the title: THIS HUMAN EQUATION!”
It's Chris "Motionless" Cerulli on covering THE KILLERS: "We've always wanted to take a shot at covering an iconic alternative song, and 'Somebody Told Me' has always been one of those tracks that oozes pure energy, and has crazy good hooks that we felt we could transform into a great rock version.
"We are very happy to present this cover as one of the projects birthed out of the COVID down time and hope it's fun for all fans to check out and tap their feet too."
“The worms of timeless cold have awoken. Mouths as dry as the forest bathed in false light for too long, hungering for blood. Shedding the moss off their pale skin they begin to gather outside their cave, ignoring the sun burning their scaly eyes. They stretch their limbs one last time, knowing that tonight they will feast either in the halls of Rivfader, or on the corpses of the human usurpers. Let the litanies of evil, hatred and murder begin!”
This, is "Mask" the new single by the Finnish band FINNTROLL
It's BILLY CORGAN from THE SMASHING PUMPKINS speaking about his next album:
"This is the first album since the album that came out in 2000, 'Machina', where me, James and Jimmy worked on something for a very long time, It's got a greater conceptual base, and it's probably a wider swath of music. The last one was kind of like, 'Let's just jump in, record some stuff real fast, and let it be what it is,' ... so I'm excited about this, because we're kind of back in the lane of taking a risk, and trying to bring something new to the table, as opposed to just aping what we're known for."
"'Cyr' is dystopic folly, one soul against the world sort of stuff, set against a backdrop of shifting loyalties and sped up time. To me it stands as both hopeful and dismissive of what is and isn’t possible with faith."
This, is "Cyr" and "The Colour Of Love" two new song by THE SMASHING PUMPKINS
The american band SPIRIT ADRIFT talks about his new single:
“Astral Levitation displays all the elements Spirit Adrift has become known and loved for, with an even more soulful, powerful vocal approach. There are lumbering mid-tempo traditional doom sections, unforgettable vocal lines, ethereal psychedelic passages, a blistering solo section that summons the most bombastic hard rock vibes, and of course, tons of epic guitar harmonies. Astral Levitation is about searching within for untapped power during times of darkness and despair. It’s an empowering soundtrack to the challenging times we all currently face.”
"'Blood From A Stone' was inspired by the endurance and threshold of our band, the wins and the losses, the good and bad years. That we have more to give, more to say and we pull that out of each other."
Said Clint Lowery from SEVENDUST on his new single "Blood From A Stone"
“This is definitely my Covideo. One of the main prerequisites was to somehow get us all on the same stage and try to capture the spontaneity of a duet while the performers are in different locations.
“Leading up to the shoot, I would send Susanna a video of a great duet. ‘Summer Wine’, ‘I Got You Babe’, ‘Islands In The Stream’. I hired a small film crew and persuaded Glasgow’s Theatre Royal to open its doors to us. I directed the shoot remotely, via three phones. One in the DP’s ear, one FaceTime trained on the monitor and one iPhone with the band. There were so many moving parts. I’m amazed we got there and it turned out great.”
It's FRAN HEALY from TRAVIS on the video of the new single "The Only Thing" featuring
SUSANNA HOFFS from THE BANGLES
It's LUKE SPILLER from THE STRUTS: “‘Another Hit of Showmanship’ reminds me of being at a club night called Ramshackle years ago at the O2 Academy in Bristol, where they’d play bands like The Libertines and Razorlight and Scissor Sisters, and of course The Strokes, I hit up Albert Hammond Jr out of the blue and told him, ‘We’ve got this song, and I’m so excited to see what you would do with it.’ As soon as he got his hands on it, he took it to a whole different level — it really just shows why he’s so brilliant at what he does.”
“It was so much fun to make a record this way instead of getting everything done in-between touring, working with multiple producers in multiple countries,” says The Struts’ frontman Luke Spiller. “We were all just burning to capture that excitement as much as we possibly could, and at times it felt like the songs were literally just falling from the sky. It was undoubtedly a magical ten days for us – and I hope when people hear the album,
it gives them a taste of that magic too.”
EICCA TOPPINEN speaks about the collaboration with LZZY HALE on his new song "Talk To Me":
"After years of friendship, we are more than happy to release a song together with the amazing Lzzy.
"This song has been in our minds for quite some time and we have been waiting for the right moment to finish it, and getting Lzzy to join us and perform in her outstanding way was a dream come true.
LZZY HALE from HALESTORM added: "APOCALYPTICA and I have for years talked about doing something together, and the last time I saw Eicca Toppinen, in Helsinki, Finland during the 2019 Tuska festival, he brought up the idea that we finally make that talk a reality.
"I'm so excited for the world to hear this song"
Swedish band AMARANTHE talks about the new single "Strong" from the upcoming album MANIFEST:
"Devil and saint, martyr and sinner, betrayal and loyalty — 'Strong' essentially underlines the dualistic nature of what it means to be human. In an increasingly polarized world, we found it incredibly exciting to reach across the metal world, and find collaboration and unity with the phenomenal Noora Louhimo. Even if the world around you is on fire, and if you find yourself at a disadvantage, remember that there is always one part of you that will remain — 'Strong'."
It's AMY LEE from EVANESCENCE on the new single "Use My Voice" featuring Halestorm's Lzzy Hale, The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen, Within Temptation's Sharon den Adel and violinist Lindsey Stirling.
It's Joseph Duplantier speaking on his new single: "It is with great excitement that we're presenting our new track 'Another World'. Ferdinand Magellan once said: 'It is with an iron will that we'll embark on the most daring of all endeavors, to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown.' Is humanity doomed, or will we survive nature's wrath? Take a glimpse into our shadowy future by watching our take
on 1968's Planet Of The Apes… Another World!"
This, is "Another World" by GOJIRA
It's MARILYN MANSON on his new album "WE ARE CHAOS"
"This concept album is the mirror Shooter and I built for the listener — it's the one we won't stare into. There are so many rooms, closets, safes and drawers. But in the soul or your museum of memories, the worst are always the mirrors. Shards and slivers of ghosts haunted my hands when I wrote most of these lyrics."
COREY TAYLOR declares about his new album:
"It's everything that I wanted it to be, There's some Slade in there; there's some Johnny Cash, there's some
Alice in Chains. … Actually, two years ago, I started teaching myself piano just so I could record this song that I wrote for my wife. And I was able to play it and record it. And it's really good —
it's probably one of the best things I've ever written."
This, is "Black Eyes Blue" , "CMFT Must Be Stopped" and "HWY 666" new songs by COREY TAYLOR
Finnish band SMACKBOUND talks about his new single "Wall of Silence":
It is a song of great force, talking about miscommunication between people and the mistake of not being honest to one another. It happens ever so often that people lose each other by simply not speaking out their true feelings and thoughts. We are prone to overthink and out of fear we walk away leaving behind only questions, lies and silence. Wall of Silence tells how it feels to experience this kind of violence.
TAYLOR MOMSEN speaks on his new single "Death By Rock And Roll" :
"almost feels like the first record in the sense that we really threw everything that we had at it — we worked so hard on it, and I'm just excited for it to be out and have people come on this journey with me and see where it took us. I think it took us, in my opinion, to a new level. It's a new and improved PRETTY RECKLESS."
