Progressive music titans Dream Theater are releasing a new live release on November 28th via their longtime label partner Inside Out Music/Sony Music. Quarantième: Live à Paris documents the iconic lineup of James LaBrie [vocals], John Petrucci [guitar], John Myung [bass], Jordan Rudess [keyboards] and Mike Portnoy’s [drums] sold-out show from Paris, France on their 40th Anniversary headline tour of Europe.
The band released the live version of “Barstool Warrior” which can be see here:
MEGADETH have revealed the full track listing for their self-titled final album that’s due out January 23, 2026. Pre-order the album, via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label, HERE. The album includes “Tipping Point,” the previously released first single, and a very special bonus track: a reimagined version of “Ride The Lightning,” which MUSTAINE co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group’s 1984 album.
“As I come full circle on the career of a lifetime, the decision to include ‘Ride The Lightning,’ a song I co-wrote with James, Lars, and Cliff, was to pay my respects to where my career first started,” MUSTAINE says.
The album’s full track listing is as follows:
Tipping Point I Don’t Care Hey, God?! Let There Be Shred Puppet Parade Another Bad Day Made To Kill Obey The Call I Am War The Last Note Ride The Lightning (Bonus Track)
MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and Acoustic Guitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—released the album’s first single and video for “Tipping Point” in early October. The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song launches with a thunderous guitar solo before DAVE’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, DAVE is locked up in a prison being tortured in extreme fashion, while the band performs in the same lock-up. In the end DAVE perseveres evil and walks away into a new day. Watch the video HERE and listen to the song HERE.
Earlier this year, MUSTAINE revealed in a social post directly shared with his worldwide fanbase and Cyber Army that the forthcoming album will mark the final studio album from MEGADETH, who’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide and received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations). He shared the announcement of the album and tour via his alter ego Vic Rattlehead.

In addition, look for the initial run of farewell tour dates to be announced later this year. Also set for next year is a new memoir from MUSTAINE, details of which will be revealed in the coming months.
About Megadeth MEGADETH are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would’ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold 50 million records worldwide, received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched seven Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, and enthralled millions of diehard fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (cited at #8 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which captured #2 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Dystopia notched a Top 3 debut and earned a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” with its title track. They only upped the ferocity with The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! in 2022. It saw them return to #3, receive a “Best Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nomination for “We’ll Be Back,” and incite rave reviews. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere—whether it be Post Malone proudly sporting a tattoo of “So Far, So Good… So What!,” Homer Simpson’s iPod displaying their moniker during an episode, or Showtime’s smash hit series Billions and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey utilizing MEGADETH in plot points. The band have delivered simultaneously relevant and timeless records in five decades now, setting the pace for the thrash renaissance of the eighties, tearing through the MTV years of the nineties with swagger and style, maintaining their stride in the post-Y2K 2000s, elevating to canonical heights in the social media and streaming era of the 2010s, and unassumingly harnessing the uncertainty and unease of the Post-Pandemic world into their boldest, biggest, and best work yet.
Along the way, MEGADETH extended their influence even further. During 2016, the band entered the spirits world with their very first signature beer À Tout Le Monde followed by Saison 13 in 2019. The brand asserted itself as a player in the beverage space and impressively moved over 15 million pints. Joining forces with Keystone in 2025, they ignite the next phase of Megadeth Beer on the biggest global platform yet.
Beyond his role as a music icon, Dave founded the visionary wine brand HOUSE OF MUSTAINE which uniquely blends music, culture, and fine winemaking. The brand launched with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon which was inspired by Dave Mustaine’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony.
From the dusty heart of Southern Italy, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION return with their new single “Everybody Ought to Love Jesus”, now premiering exclusively on Doomed & Stoned.
The track delves deep into the band’s signature “delta stoner” sound, where the ancestral call of Delta blues collides with the heavy, hypnotic pulse of stoner rock. Reinterpreting the spiritual tradition through distortion, groove, and raw intensity, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION turn sacred lament into a howl of rebellion and redemption.
Formed in 2015, the band began their journey with the self-produced EP “Vol.1,” recorded and mixed by Bari-based sound engineer Andrea Dinapoli. After years of intense live activity — performing at Waves of Doom Fest, Freak Out Stoned Fest, Zolla Fest, Promontorio Music Fest, Rock in Lama, and sharing the stage with notable national and international acts — the band is now ready to present their first full-length album.
Their new record, “Traditional Songs About Life, Death and Rebirth,” will be released on November 21, 2025 via Zann’s Records. Comprising eight tracks, the album pays homage to both early 20th-century blues and the gritty, lysergic stoner rock of the 1990s, reinterpreting the verses and sounds of the past through a modern, raw and punk-driven lens.
Recorded and mixed at REH Studio within MAT Laboratorio Urbano in Terlizzi (BA) by Dario Tatoli, and mastered by Claudio Gruer (Nick Oliveri, Yawning Man, Brant Bjork) at Pisi Studio in Rome, the album marks a major step forward for the band, solidifying a sound that is both personal and immediately recognizable.
With this record, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION confirm their place as one of the most original and genuine acts in Italy’s contemporary rock scene — delivering a sound that feels both ancient and modern, dusty and visionary.
Tracklist:
1) Keep Your Lamp 2) Cool Drink of Water (part 1) 3) Everybody Ought to Love Jesus 4) Cool Drink of Water (part 2) 5) Coff’n Shop 6) Beerkenstock Blues 7) Mississipi Bowevil Blues 8) So Long

Brit-pop rock artist Sicky has released a new single, Just Me. The track blends vulnerability with defiance, pairing sharp, vivid lyrics with a driving rock energy. It touches on themes of feeling unseen, carrying scars, and ultimately finding strength in being yourself.
Rather than sinking into self-pity, Just Me stands as a statement of identity. It’s a song that turns isolation into pride, delivered with the edge and honesty that define Sicky’s sound.
Just Me is from SICKY’s album Troubled Delight, released via Epictronic. Recorded mostly at home with raw, simple instrumentation, the album grew organically, featuring unconventional sounds—from makeshift percussion to church bells, shopping centre doors, and a Quatermass and the Pit sample approved by Hammer Films. Scrappy, joyful, and under three minutes per track, Troubled Delight turns life’s highs and lows into relatable, fun music.

The award-winning British blues icon Robin Trower will release his breathtaking new album One Moment In Time: Live In The USA on 30 January via Artone/Provogue. Listen to the blistering first taste on Day of theEagle.
For Robin Trower, stage and studio are two sides of the same coin. If you’ve followed his six-decade career, you’ll know every song on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA – starting with Day of the Eagle, the opening song to his 1974 masterpiece Bridge of Sighs.
In the summer of 2025 and riding high on the acclaim for his latest solo album, Come And Find Me (“Trower is to be treasured,” wrote Classic Rock), the guitarist crossed the Atlantic for a 25-date run in the nation that has welcomed him since the start. Almost 60 years have passed since Trower first performed in the Land Of The Free, but as a British gunslinger raised under slate-grey South London skies, he still remembers the culture shock. “I first came here with Procol Harum in the late-Sixties. Back then, it was a different world,” he says.
A lifetime later, with sound engineer James Kane rolling tape at multiple venues on the tour, it fell to Trower to decide which performances would be immortalised for One Moment In Time: Live In The USA. Every show was cooking, but after countless hours of intense study, Trower honed in on the material caught at the Music Box At The Borgata, Atlantic City, New Jersey (14 June) and the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, New Hampshire (24 June). “The new album is the best take of each song from those two nights,” he explains. “It’s about the performance but also down to the sound quality. You have to choose carefully – I did a lot of listening.”
The 14-song setlist represents a whistlestop guide to Trower’s fabled career, the bluesman striking a keen balance of all-time classics and new songs that reflect where he stands as an artist in modern times. You’ll find no fewer than four songs from 1974’s gold-selling masterpiece, Bridge Of Sighs, still universally hailed amongst the greatest albums from the golden era of blues-rock. “Those songs have to be in there, because they’re the audience’s favourites,” he says of these roaring renditions of Too Rolling Stoned, Day Of The Eagle, Little Bit Of Sympathy and Bridge Of Sighs’ title track. “That album is still a compelling piece of music.”
Other old favourites include Daydream (from 1973’s solo debut, Twice Removed From Yesterday) and Somebody Calling (from 1977’s In City Dreams). Elsewhere, Trower plays the aces up his sleeve with surprise airings of Rise Up Like The Sun (from 1994’s 20th Century Blues) and Distant Places Of The Heart (from his 2007 collaboration with the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Seven Moons).
Trower is no heritage artist, and the cheers are just as loud for the four songs from 2022’s No More Worlds To Conquer, not to mention his stalking take on One Go Round (from Come And Find Me). But as the veteran bandleader acknowledges, the flying sparks on One Moment In Time: Live In The USA are down to the chemistry between his trusty power-trio: a three-headed beast that moves as one through the set’s shifting dynamics and time signatures, with Richard Watts on bass and vocals and Chris Taggart on drums.
One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, then, is a document of Robin Trower in full flight, just as powerful when experienced through your home speakers as it was for the fans on the front row. “At the very least, you want the audience to be feeling entertained by the end of the show,” he considers. “But I’d really like them to walk out feeling elated. I want them to get something emotionally out of this as well…”
