Imad’s New Single Tells a Tale of Resilience Following Beirut Explosion of 2020: Listen
For 21-year-old Imad, his latest single, “Makan” (with Samia), goes far beyond your basic melodic techno track. Instead, the hauntingly atmospheric song was rewritten by the Lebanese and Nigerian artist after the devastating explosion in Beirut last August. It translates to “place” in Arabic. “That was a turning point for a lot of people in the country, as the general economic, social and quality of life in Lebanon had been rapidly declining,” said Imad, who splits his time between Beirut and London, in a press release. “[Samia and I] dedicated it to the relationship a lot of us have with Lebanon.” Recommended Articles The resulting version of “Makan,” which was originally composed as Imad’s submission for entry into P...
MAX CAVALERA Says He Harbors No Bitterness Toward Current SEPULTURA Lineup: ‘I Really Don’t Care’
Max Cavalera says that his collaboration with his brother Igor Cavalera is “the only thing” that “sounds close” to the classic lineup of their former band SEPULTURA. The Brazilian four-piece fell apart in 1996 with the exit of Max after the rest of the band split with the vocalist/guitarist’s wife Gloria as their manager. Igor, who plays drums, stuck around with the group for another ten years before leaving SEPULTURA and re-teaming with Max in CAVALERA CONSPIRACY. Although SEPULTURA has maintained a diehard fanbase in all parts of the world throughout the band’s nearly four-decade history, Max-era albums “Roots” and “Chaos A.D.” were by far SEPULTURA‘s most commercially successful, having both been certified gold in the U.S...
ICED EARTH’s JON SCHAFFER Shares First Instagram Post In A Year
ICED EARTH guitarist Jon Schaffer has apparently returned to social media, just days after he was sued by District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine in an effort to recover the millions of dollars the city spent to defend the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 attack.

Abby Anderson on Leaving Her Record Label & New Music: ‘I Feel So Much More Confident Now’
“I was just coming out of my depression, so that was fun,” country singer-songwriter Abby Anderson tells Billboard of writing her latest single, “Bad Posture,” which released in October. “My hair was black. I was going through it, man.” It was a different image than country music fans had come to know of Anderson—a gregarious, charming singer-songwriter.
