Death Angel Drummer Says He Met Satan and Morphed Into Jabba the Hutt-Like Monster During COVID-19 Coma
In a new interview, Death Angel drummer Will Carroll likened his recent COVID-19 coma to a trip through hell itself. Carroll was in a 12-day coma after contracting coronavirus during a European tour in March, an outing that led to numerous infections among the bill’s three Bay Area thrash bands — Death Angel, Testament, and Exodus — and their crew. But Carroll’s battle became especially dire, with doctors unsure if he would survive. The drummer told the San Francisco Chronicle that the experience felt like returning from hell, with “dreams of visiting the afterlife” where Satan, who appeared as a woman to Carroll, “punished him for the deadly sin of sloth, morphing him into a Jabba the Hutt-like-monster who vomited blood until he had a heart attack.” “I woke up on the hospital bed wi...
Full From the Basement Archive Coming to YouTube
From the Basement, he independent music performance program created by Nigel Godrich, is uploading its whole glorious archive to YouTube. As befits a project run by Radiohead’s producer/secret weapon, the series is mostly remembered for a pair of Radiohead concerts: 2008’s In Rainbow: From the Basement, and 2011’s King of Limbs: Live from the Basement. But the show, which had a brief run on Sky Arts in the UK and IFC in the US, featured dozens of established and up-and-coming artists playing intimate, audience-free sets. While From the Basement was at times more informal than not, Godrich seems to have produced it off-and-on between 2006 and about 2012. He announced the archive unlock in a thread on Twitter. “We did it against all odds,” he wrote, before rattl...
The 30 Best Albums of 2020 (So Far)
On one hand, who can think about stuff as trivial as this? On the other, what else is there to do? If art was made to fill a cultural vacuum, well… now’s the fucking time, buddy. Hopefully, you’ve been binging every show, reading every book, repainting every bathroom you’ve been putting off. Hopefully, when (and if) we make it out of quarantine alive, we’ll be able to look forward to better things. For now, we still have music. Some of the great albums and EPs below demand your full and undivided attention. Some of them demand to intensify your workout or gaming session. Mostly they just sound good, and you should pair them with whatever activities music enhances for you. Even sleep; lord knows that could be improved upon. Others will keep you wide awake. If any of these albums make you th...
New Single Released on Barong Family Accused of Ripping Off Skrillex
A new single released on Yellow Claw‘s Barong Family imprint is being accused of ripping off an unreleased Skrillex song. The Barong Family release in question, a song called “Better Days” by bass producer So Dope, is being dragged through the mud on both SoundCloud and Reddit for its blatant similarities to an unreleased song by Skrillex with the widely adopted title “El Dorado.” One diligent Redditer took it upon himself to line up each song in his digital audio workstation to demonstrate each track side-by-side. You can watch that video below. For a deeper dive into the songs in question, listen to “Better Days” by So Dope in full below and compare it to the ensuing video of Skrillex debuting “El Dorado” to his fans via Instagra...
David Guetta to Perform Second Edition of “United At Home” Fundraising Live Stream
Two-time Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer David Guetta will perform another edition of his “United At Home” fundraising livestream from New York City on Saturday, May 30th. This time, the performance will benefit the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City as well as Feeding America, the World Health Organization and Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris. Last month the world-renowned producer performed a two-hour live stream rooftop set from Miami’s Icon Brickell complex and raised more than $750,000 for COVID-19 relief. Over 25 million people tuned in on social media platforms and those in the surrounding apartment buildings got to experience the festival-grade performance first-hand. “I’m excited to announce I will host another livestream to raise m...
Jordan Talks That ‘David Vs. Goliath’ Battle On The Challenge — And His Game-Ending Injury
Jordan has the special distinction of capturing three consecutive Challenge titles — after his Battle of the Exes 2 win, he was number one on Dirty XXX and War of the Worlds 2. But the reigning champ was unable to go four for four in a row and was ousted during this week’s Total Madness episode. “I really hope anyone out there with a disability, I hope you just do it,” he emotionally reflected after Fessy defeated him in Pole Wrestle, a showdown that he entered with a clear disadvantage. After the first round — which the Big Brother rookie won, the Real World: Portland alum “f*cked his shoulder up” (Bananas’ words) in what turned out to be a reset round. Jordan revealed to MTV News that he separated his AC joint, and he is still recovering. &...
Lana Del Rey Calls Out Critics And Fellow Artists In Impassioned New Note
Last August, Lana Del Rey released her sixth album, Norman Fucking Rockwell to rapturous acclaim. By the end of 2019, it landed high on numerous publications’ best-of lists, and it even earned an Album of the Year nomination at the Grammys just a few months later. But it was a long journey for Lana, as she writes out in a pointed new note posted to Instagram early Thursday (May 21). “With all of the topics women are finally allowed to explore I just want to say over the last ten years I think it’s pathetic that my minor lyrical exploration detailing my sometimes submissive or passive roles has often made people say I’ve set women back hundreds of years,” she wrote. The catalyst for her note, it appears, is the recent chart success of several female artists she...

Rise Radiant – CALIGULA’S HORSE
RATING: 7/10 The progressive-metal genre can be frustrating waters to wade into in 2020. There is a very small number of bands that are truly great, and then dozens of bands that are good-to-very good and seemingly have the tools to be truly great. For some reason or another, they are able to assemble 495 pieces of a 500-piece puzzle but can’t figure out where the remaining five pieces lock. CALIGULA’S HORSE is a band that has come very close to being great on their last two records, 2015’s “Bloom” and 2017’s “In Contact”. Unfortunately, “Rise Radiant”, the Australian quintet’s first album in three years, takes the step back from very good to good, instead of the final step forward to being great. The album begins with promi...
