World renowned rock photographer Mark Weiss and ROCKED Magazine proudly present “Back to the Beginning: Remembering Ozzy Osbourne,” a landmark photography exhibition hosted by ART STOP celebrating the remarkable 44 year visual journey of one of rock music’s greatest icons.
From one of Ozzy Osbourne‘s earliest solo photo sessions atop Convention Hall in Asbury Park in 1981 to his emotional final performance with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, in 2025, the exhibition tells the story of a legendary career through the lens of the photographer who documented it from beginning to end.
As Ozzy Osbourne once said:
“Mark is like a member of our family… He must have more photographs of me than any other photographer I’ve ever worked with… All Access Pass. He’s part of the team.”

Weiss’ photograph of Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance at “Back to the Beginning” on July 5, 2025. This is the last photograph of Ozzy on stage and also on display at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery as part of Ozzy’s “Working Class Hero” Exhibition.
Featured are Weiss‘s iconic August 15, 1981 rooftop portrait of Ozzy at Convention Hall, transformed into a one of a kind collaboration with New Jersey artist Pork Chop, and Ozzy‘s final onstage performance from “Back to the Beginning” on July 5, 2025. Together these photographs anchor an exhibition of more than 50 images documenting Ozzy Osbourne‘s extraordinary career.
The exhibition also includes a wall inspired by the special “Back to the Beginning” edition of ROCKED Magazine, a wall dedicated to Ozzy‘s 1981Convention Hall appearance, a wall featuring Black Sabbath‘s historic “Live Aid” reunion performance on July 13, 1985, and a special display featuring New Jersey guitar legend Zakk Wylde. The photographs celebrate Wylde‘s early years with Ozzy Osbourne after Mark Weiss introduced the young guitarist to Ozzy in 1987, marking the beginning of one of heavy metal’s most enduring musical partnerships.
Throughout the two day event, Weiss will meet fans, share stories behind his photographs, and sign copies of his coffee table book “The Decade That Rocked.” Copies of ROCKED Magazine will also be available.

The modern progressive metal landscape thrives on ambition, but few emerging acts command attention quite like KINETIC. Hailing from Kolding, Denmark, this forward-thinking quintet has delivered a monumental visual achievement with their brand new music video for “Evolution”. Directed by the band’s own synthesizer player, Marcus H. Levin, the video serves as a breathtaking, eleven-minute cinematic companion to a track that challenges conventional songwriting structures. By seamlessly weaving raw, aggressive performance footage of the band with spectacular global travel cinematography captured by Nick Levin in remote corners of the Earth, including Africa, Siberut Island, and the volatile volcanic landscapes of Dukono, KINETIC transforms a standard musical release into an immersive multi-sensory journey. The result is a striking introduction to the band’s refined musical identity, utilizing a heavy, spacey atmosphere to leave a lasting impression on listeners of technical rock and metal music alike.
“Evolution” is the first of three music videos from the band’s debut full-length album Liminal, which will be released on October 16, 2026 via rock and metal record label Eclipse Records.
Musically and conceptually, Evolution functions as a sprawling, long-form exploration of existence itself. The storyline serves as a visual journey that guides the viewer through the birth of the cosmos, the emergence of Mother Earth, and the eventual rise of human expression. Rather than relying on traditional storytelling, the video relies heavily on vivid environmental contrasts, shifting from deep space and vast oceans to icy landscapes and barren deserts. To heighten this emotional journey, the band utilizes a strict color motif. Blue visuals represent mystery, origin, and the peaceful side of creation, while contrasting red tones symbolize aggression, danger, and chaos. When these colors collide, they illustrate the inherent conflict and transformation required for life to persist.
“Evolution is just the second track on our album, so according to the album timeline of the Kardashev scale, it is reaching far beyond where the album actually is on the timeline” explains keyboardist Marcus. “Evolution represents the broader essence of what we want to communicate, giving us the opportunity to explore evolution not solely as a subject within the album, but as a universal idea connected to life, humanity, nature and ourselves as artists. At its core, we hope the song and video will remind people how extraordinary life on Earth is. The oceans, landscapes, animals, human connection and the simple fact that we exist at all. Evolution is our connection between humanity and nature, past and present, destruction and creation. We also want to show how fragile everything can be; life, nature, ecosystems and humanity itself. The video contrasts beauty with destruction and there is always a tension between harmony and chaos.”

The modern progressive metal landscape thrives on ambition, yet few emerging acts possess the audacity to anchor a debut full-length album to the literal measurement of cosmic civilization. Arriving on October 16, 2026, via Eclipse Records, Liminal represents a massive sonic leap forward from their well-received 2025 debut EP, Sentience. KINETIC has crafted a 106 minute masterwork that balances technical precision with expansive, atmospheric depth, signaling the arrival of a major new force in the international metal community. Liminal functions as a classic conceptual album, bound together by a coherent, overarching storyline that connects the first note of the opening track to the final fading echoes of the grand finale. Musically and lyrically, the band draws inspiration from the Kardashev Scale, a theoretical framework proposed by astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev that measures the technological advancement of a civilization based on the amount of energy it can harness. Rather than conforming to predictable, verse-chorus modern song structures, KINETIC focuses heavily on cinematic arrangements and long-form compositions. This deliberate stylistic choice allows the music to evolve dynamically, ensuring that the sonic landscape mirrors the immense scientific and philosophical themes of the narrative. Liminal was produced, engineered, mixed & mastered by Frederik Uglebjerg (Galge, MØL, Trold, Isbjörg) and the album cover art was created by Lasse H. Görlitz & Marcus H. Levin. It is scheduled for release on October 16, 2026.

About KINETIC: Emerging from Kolding, Denmark, KINETIC bridges the gap between technical progressive metal and cinematic storytelling. Their new album Liminal takes listeners on an existential journey through space and time, marking the band’s official debut on the Eclipse Records roster and solidifying their place as a must-watch modern metal act. Kinetic is René Hougaard (lead vocals), David Thing (guitar, backing vocal), Christian Filskov Heitmann (bass), Marcus H. Levin (synth), and Rune Görlitz (drums).
Silver Horses are back with a brand new video! “Keep On Running”, taken from their latest album Weird Tales (Elevate Records, 2026), is now available on YouTube.
A high-energy hard rock track that captures the raw power and drive at the heart of the band’s sound — fronted by Jacopo “Jack” Meille (Tygers of Pan Tang, Sainted Sinners) and driven by the guitar work of Gianluca Galli, with Andrea Castelli on bass and Matteo “Bona” Bonini on drums.
Weird Tales — thirteen tracks of dark, cinematic hard rock — is available now on CD and all digital platforms.

Industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle released just a handful of singles throughout their lifetime, and while not one of them escaped the lower reaches of the UK independent charts, nevertheless they all were staples of the UK club scene in the early 1980s. And none so much as “Discipline,” recorded live in late 1980, and released on 12-inch single the following year.
Even among those people who found Throbbing Gristle’s music unlistenable, “Discipline” was as irresistible as it was inescapable, close to 10 minutes of electro-percussive chant that was both utterly divorced from anything else on the turntables at the time, and wholly representative of the direction in which dance music was headed. Catch the band live, and it could sometimes stretch to 30 minutes
“Discipline” lived on, too. Marc Almond and Friends recorded it for a giveaway flexidisc single with Flexipop magazine; and performed it live, as well. On at least one occasion, an extended version of “Discipline” devoured his entire live set.
“Dr Mabuse” hitmakers Propaganda recorded a version during early sessions for their 1985 A Secret Wish album; Boyd Rice’s NON alias covered it for a Throbbing Gristle tribute album.
It was elsewhere, however, that “Discipline” made its greatest impact, as it slipped into the playlist on the gay club circuit, and remained there for years to come – a tribute, of course, to TG founder Genesis P Orridge, but an acknowledgement, too, of the subversive sexuality that was the song’s deepest message.
Thus, when Leæther Strip mainman Claus Larsen was gathering favorites for the latest, ninth, volume in his Æppreciation series of covers, “Discipline” – released as a single today – was a total shoo-in.
Claus explains, “With this edition of my Æppreciation series, I wanted to pay tribute to some of my favorite LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ+ friendly artists and songs. They have all been a huge inspiration for me and shown me that there was a place for me to express myself with my own songs.”
Tracks originally recorded by Man 2 Man (“Male Stripper”), Peaches (“I U She”), Chris & Cosey (“Sin”),, Coil (“Heaven’s Blade”) and Boytronic (“Trigger Track”) illustrate the sheer depth of this collection, as Claus is swift to point out.
“The whole industrial/electronic genre has from the very beginning been represented by the Queer community in a big way, so I feel it time to wave the flag for these amazing artists.”
That his selection here delves deeper into period club culture than any of the preceding volumes only adds weight to its assertion – particularly in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the era most heavily represented on the album, the burgeoning industrial scene was one of the truly “safe spaces” around.
Clubs like The Church in Dallas, TX (subject of the Cleopatra DVD/bluray Dark Sanctuary: The Story Of The Church), Heaven in London, Snax in Berlin and the Limelight in New York remain legends for precisely that reason and, placing Appreciation IX on either the turntable or the CD deck is like walking into any of those clubs, or the myriad others that operated at the time, and knowing there was nothing to fear.
Releasing on July 24 on both CD and startling black/red splatter vinyl, Æppreciation IX is an exquisite addition to what long ago proved itself to be one of the most intriguing, and alluring, series of covers albums ever conceived; it is certain, too, to awaken fresh interest in its eight predecessors – an unbreakable bloc that shines an affectionate, yet wholly unique light upon some of the greatest music of the eighties and nineties. All are available now from Cleopatra Records.
Transcendent Faroese artist Eivør has unveiled the next phase of her remarkable artistic journey. On October 16th this year, Eivør will release hernew studio album, Tungl, the Faroese word meaning ‘moon’.
Eivør has offered a deeper glimpse into her newest musical vision with the release of new song Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden accompanied by a breathtaking video filmed in Svínadalur, Iceland, by director Krassasig (Kristinn Arnar Sigurðsson). Watch here.
Eivør imparts about the song:
“I’m excited to share my new song, Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden, with you.
The song is a tribute to the fierce, intuitive force that lives within us all. While my previous single, Healer, explored resilience, Dragon Maiden feels more like an awakening, a reminder of the power that has always been within you.
The song began as a poem that had been quietly living in the back of my mind for a long time. I wanted to capture that beautiful, liberating feeling of letting go of the need to control everything and opening yourself to whatever life may bring. I invited one of my favourite poetic minds, Marjun S. Kjelnæs, to finish the poem with me, and I’m so proud of what we created together.
I produced and recorded the song with my partner in crime, Tróndur Bogason, and my band. I wanted it to feel playful and danceable, while still carrying an undercurrent of melancholy. I love the contrast between movement and stillness, light and shadow, and I think this song lives somewhere between those worlds.
Dragon Maiden is about trusting your intuition, embracing uncertainty, and finding the courage to surrender to life’s unfolding. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is stop trying to control everything and simply allow ourselves to be carried forward. I hope this song encourages people to reconnect with that part of themselves.”
Speaking about the remarkable video shoot for Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden, Eivør has divulged:
“Filming the video for Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden was such a special experience. We spent two days in the beautiful landscape of Svínadalur, Iceland, staying with our friends Mattias and Brynhildur, who generously opened both their home and woodland to us.
One of the central ideas for the video was a rotating platform that Kiddi designed and built especially for the shoot. I spent days rehearsing with my Icelandic sister and choreographer, Aðalheiður Halldórsdóttir, who somehow taught me to sing while spinning without falling over.
I loved performing the song on the rotating platform. It almost felt like travelling through time. It was physically demanding, but once I stopped trying to control it and surrendered to the movement, everything fell into place. That felt deeply connected to the meaning of the song itself.
The entire process was driven by creativity, determination and a willingness to try something that felt almost impossible. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who helped bring this vision to life, and I can’t wait for people to experience the finished film.”
Director Krassasig also expressed:
“I first met Eivør after her concert in Amsterdam last autumn. We spent the evening with her band and crew, had a lot of fun, and quickly realised we shared a similar creative energy. By the end of the night, we both knew we wanted to make something together.
When I first heard Drekafljóð, it immediately pulled me into a dreamlike world. I was fascinated by the contrast between its intimacy and its immense force, and I wanted the visuals to carry that same feeling. The concept came to me almost instantly: a large rotating platform in the middle of a forest, a simple but expressive spatial instrument that could transform movement and create strange, disorienting body dynamics. Rather than relying on visual effects, we wanted to create something tangible that Eivør could physically inhabit.
Bringing that idea to life became an engineering project in itself. The platform was built primarily from standard stage units, but with some important alterations to enable it to rotate. We first constructed it in my studio in Reykjavík, rehearsed there, then transported it into the forest piece by piece and assembled it on location before we could begin filming. Once Eivør stepped onto the platform, her presence and performative energy brought the mechanical structure to life, unleashing the song’s immense energy.”

For over two decades, Faroese artist Eivør has been regarded as one of the most bewitching and fearless voices to have emerged from the Nordic music scene. Ranging across rock, pop noir, jazz and folk to electronica over the course of 11 solo albums, various collaborations, live albums and soundtrack work including The Last Kingdom, God of War and God of War Ragnarök, her musical path has revealed both a restless, explorative spirit and a singer deeply connected to her Faroese roots, earning her the Nordic Council Music Prize along the way.
It’s testament to the singular yet universal nature of her music that her fanbase has grown to include metalheads and the Norse pagan folk scene – for whom her startling voice, hide drum and throat-chant incantation, Trøllabundin, has become an unofficial anthem – as well as the mainstream, all instinctively understanding that music coming from a place of true authenticity knows no boundaries.
If Eivør’s last album, Enn, marked the beginning of a darker, more atmospheric phase, her forthcoming release, Tungl – the Faroese word for ‘moon’ – and her first for the powerhouse German metal label Nuclear Blast, sees her reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.
As Eivør herself says:
“Tungl explores the ever-changing cycles of life – its songs move between moments of tenderness and heartache, love and loss, and the emotional tides that shape us. Like the moon that inspired its title, Tungl serves as a gentle guide through life’s darker passages, illuminating the beauty, resilience, and transformation found along the way.”
