German old school death metallers CEMETERY have released a music video ‘Thoughts On Life’, taken from their upcoming “Thoughts On Life… And Death” album, coming out August 8th.
The band says on the album: “We have put everything we have into it. Our whole heart, our experience, our knowledge and our skills. But it’s not just about us. From the stunning artwork by Silvio Fiorese (acrylic on canvas… no AI!) to the lush, heavy but transparent production created by Sergej Dukart at Walzwerk recording studio. This is our ‘opus magnum’! The biggest and best of CEMETERY you’ve ever heard!”

Australian theatrical glam rock band CROSSON has just released their third video, “Guilty Of Rock,” the title track from their latest album.
Set in a dystopian future where rock music is outlawed, the 3D animated video features CROSSON as rebellious rock ‘n’ roll renegades being hunted by authorities as they speed toward an underground, illegal concert.
“Since the band began, I always dreamed of bringing us to life as 3D animated characters. It only took seven albums—but we finally made it happen. We worked with Australian animator ‘Kyle Boddy’ over a few months developing the storyboard and getting the 3D characters designed.” says Jason Crosson, the band’s frontman, songwriter, and producer.
Mixed and mastered in Sweden by renowned producer Erik Martensson (Eclipse, W.E.T.), the track is fast becoming a rock anthem. It’s already a fan favourite during live shows, where CROSSON’s dancers take the stage in full police uniforms—complete with handcuffs.
CROSSON’s seventh studio album, Guilty Of Rock, is earning glowing 4- and 5-star reviews worldwide and is available now on all major digital platforms via WormholeDeath Records.
IOANNIS is an internationally famous Greek-born artist and designer from Athens. Ioannis has designed over 350 record covers and singles, for such groups as Deep Purple, The Allman Brothers, Uriah Heep, Styx, Blue Oyster Cult, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Bob Weir, Starship, Yngwie Malmsteen, Biohazard, Sepultura, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fates Warning, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Johnny Winter, Extreme, UFO, Overkill, The Tubes, Eddie Money, Jon Anderson (YES), Warrant, Slaughter and many others.
One of the most notable concert arenas on the East Coast, MSG has hosted some of the biggest powerhouses in music. On July 21st in 1973, the Allmans took the MSG stage for the first time and brought the house down two nights in a row. The band played an amazing show with songs like “Ramblin’ Man” and encoring with “Mountain Jam.” They went on to play at the venue four more times. Ioannis would go on to create the cover art for the Allman Brothers 1994 release Where It All Begins and it went on to be a classic in his collection.
What better way to kick off this series of upcoming puzzles than to use this classic image and celebrate the life and art of Ioannis. “As Ioannis’s family and estate, we are proud to introduce this new puzzle featuring his renowned artwork for the Allman Brothers Band’s ‘Where It All Begins.’ He regarded this piece as one of his most significant works. This release was a major release for the band and held deep personal and artistic meaning for Ioannis. It was warmly received by fans worldwide, and we are honored to share his love of color, fantasy, and music through this new format. We hope it brings joy to those celebrating his enduring legacy.”
Deko Entertainment is home to a limited number of posters and T-shirts from Ioannis and plans to reveal other upcoming puzzles and projects in the future. As Deko Entertainment President Bruce Pucciarello comments, “Ioannis was so excited to be working with Deko that I had to remind him that he was instrumental in helping us launch Deko when we were just a fledgling record label. Ioannis’s passing was a total stomach punch to both Charlie and me. We were just getting started sharing his talent with the world. We will work with his family and team keeping his legacy alive, the way he would want us to, but it will never be the same without him. What a creative force. What a stellar human being.”

Check out the full tracklisting below.
Earlier this year, the group notably performed their biggest sold-out headline shows yet when they took over Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, Mexico for three nights on February 6, 7, 11. The musicians simply soared with a rapturous set of signature staples and deep cuts in front of a capacity crowd of 30,000 total fans. Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX captures the band in their element and sees them firing on all cylinders as they deliver sonic (and literal) fire consumed by a rabid audience.
Regarding the release, the three-piece— Dany (guitar, lead vocals), Pau (drums, vocals), and Ale Villarreal (bass, backing vocals)—commented, “We’re so excited to share a night that we’ll never forget, a moment that is etched in our band’s history. Having a live album has always been a dream of ours and, for it to be out in a concert film, vinyl and everything in between, is a huge accomplishment for us. We hope that our fans who see or hear this piece of work get to feel the same exhilaration and excitement we felt while playing this show. The live debut of our album Keep Me Fed was possible thanks to the work of a huge team, and we are so happy that their work and ours get to live in a piece of media forever.”
Right now, The Warning are finishing up a North American headline tour with the finale at The Fillmore in Minneapolis, MN tomorrow July 23. Prior, they served as the opener for select dates on Halsey’s For My Last Trick US tour. See routing below. See full tour dates below and at www.thewarningband.com/tour
Their latest offering, Keep Me Fed, has amassed over 175 million streams globally, landing them #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist chart, and cemented the band as the biggest album debut for an all-female rock group in the 2020s. The Warning had an incredible year in 2024, receiving nominations at the Latin GRAMMYs, VMA and EMAs. They also lit up television screens across the country with performances on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! and The Kelly Clarkson show.
Stay tuned for a whole lot more!

ABOUT THE WARNING: The Warning draw strength and power from a lifetime of sisterhood and music. The Mexico-born sister trio—Daniela “Dany” [guitar, lead vocals, piano], Paulina “Pau” [drums, vocals, piano], and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal [bass, piano, backing vocals]—have logged thousands of miles on the road, generated hundreds of millions of streams, and left countless fans in awe. All of this tireless work and dedication has shaped and sharpened their sound with knifepoint precision, arming alternative anthems with universally catchy hooks and an uncompromising hard rock kick. The girls have devoted themselves to a shared dream since their childhood in Monterrey, Mexico. They initially made waves with a string of independent releases, paving the way for their acclaimed 2022 full-length offering ERROR. Between performing alongside Muse, Foo Fighters, Guns N’ Roses, Royal Blood, The Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace and Imagine Dragons, the band ignited MTV’s Extended Play Stage at the 2023 MTV VMAs. Representative of their cultural impact, Pepsi even notably chose them as the face of Pepsi Black in Mexico. Moreover, they emerged as the rare force who could comfortably appear in features by Vanity Fair, People, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour as well as on Metallica’s star-studded Blacklist compilation—placing their cover of “Enter Sandman” [with Alessia Cara] shoulder-to-shoulder with contributions from Ghost, St. Vincent, Chris Stapleton, IDLES and Weezer. The Warning embraced their destiny on their 2024 full-length album, Keep Me Fed [LAVA/Republic Records]. The album was introduced by singles “MORE,” “S!CK” “Hell You Call A Dream”, “Qué Más Quieres”, “Automatic Sun”, and “Burnout”. In 2024 they continued their global impact with nominations and performances at the Latin GRAMMYs for “Best Rock Song” and MTV’s EMAs for “Push Artist.” The Warning was also nominated for “Push Performance” at MTV’s VMAs and performed on France’s Taratata.

Amid his current Summer Blood Storm UK/European tour, WEDNESDAY 13 has just dropped a delightfully deathly music video for Mid Death Crisis track “Rotting Away”. The Duke of Spook goes on a date with the dead, picnicking with a petrified soul! Watch the new music video below – out now!
WEDNESDAY 13 comments about “Rotting Away”: “I’m putting the Fun back in Funeral with our new video for ‘Rotting Away’. I had such a great time filming this and wanted to do something fun, campy, and different from the other band performance videos. Inspired by the original Night Of The Living Dead film, Tom Petty’s video “Last dance with Mary Jane” along with a little Weekend at Bernie’s thrown into this.”

WEDNESDAY 13 dubs the album as a fun, campy, “leave-your-brain-at-the-door” ragerand a true return to his hard-rocking roots! Produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z’Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver) the album oozes infectious 80s sleaze metal energy. Although its title, Mid Death Crisis,may suggest otherwise, WEDNESDAY 13 shows zero signs of stopping on this refreshingly powerful and multi-faceted entry into the band’s hall of horrific history!

Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the signing of legendary rock vocalist John Corabi to its roster of iconic artists.
Known for his powerful voice and rich legacy with bands like Mötley Crüe, The Dead Daisies, Union, and The Scream, Corabi is looking forward to releasing new music in collaboration with producer/songwriter Marti Frederiksen.
He promises an organic 60’s-70’s style record and can’t wait to get back on the road with a talented solo band featuring his son Ian on the drums, and a few great friends.
John expressed his excitement by saying: “I’m thankful to Frontiers Records for the opportunity to give you guys some new music!! I’ve been writing and recording with my good pal Marti Frederiksen here in Nashville, and I can’t wait for you to hear it all!”
Tom Lipsky, Head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, commented: “It is exciting to bring John into the Frontiers Label Group. He has fans around the world, and he is respected by the artist community as a musician, singer and songwriter. John’s new music will take his accomplished career to an even higher level”.
John Corabi is a journeyman singer-songwriter and guitarist that burst onto the music scene with Hollywood Records recording artists The Scream in 1991. Touring extensively throughout the United States on the strength of their songs “Man In The Moon”, “I Believe In Me”, and “Father Mother Son”, John attracted the attention of radio, MTV, fans and critics alike.
Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx reached out to John after the departure of Vince Neil in 1992 and asked him to join the band for the writing and recording of their 1994 released self-titled record. During the recording process of the follow up “Generation Swine” album in late 1996, Vince Neil returned to the band, and John started the band Union with former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.
Union headed into a studio to record their debut self-titled album in 1998. With Union, John released three albums between 1998 and 2001. Afterwards, John left Union to join the band RATT on their 2001 summer tour, handling guitar and backing vocal duties. Touring constantly from 2001-2008, John eventually left the band to go out on his own.
John has released the acoustic album “Unplugged” in 2012, and a live album “Live 94, One Night In Nashville” in 2018, as well as multiple original and tribute singles. John received a phone call in 2015 to join the all-star collective called The Dead Daisies, and has since recorded the albums “Revolucion”, “Make Some Noise”, “Live And Louder”, “Burn It Down”, “Light Em’ Up”, and a recently released blues covers record “Looking For Trouble”.
For the last ten years, with The Dead Daisies and as a solo acoustic artist, John has toured Europe, The United States, Japan, South America, Australia, and The United Kingdom extensively, having played all of the major festivals and sold out shows to a growing loyal fanbase.
With his 2022 autobiography “Horseshoes And Hand Grenades”, and 19 full length records under his belt, spanning a 35 year career, John is anxious to release record number 20, and play the new songs live. The future looks bright for John!
