The song possesses a driving and straightforward set of verses, a wide open and gothic chorus, and a sudden 6/8 groove for the solos that feels right out of those classic King Diamond albums.
Butterfly unfolds across four unique versions of the same song, each exploring different genres and emotional depths while maintaining a cohesive melody and lyrics.
I wrote the music before Oz passed away. But after Oz passed away, when we went back to England and we laid Ozzy to rest, when I got right from that, I went straight to Pantera celebrations with Phil, Rex, and Charlie. And then when I got done, when we got done with the Pantera celebration run, when I got home, I was just sitting in the house and [this] is when I wrote the lyrics and just sang the song.
The first single, 'Timebomb,' is moody with distorted piano. Krug describes it as 'a song about a song about a band on tour, or rather, about the failed revision of that song, upon sadly realizing that its original message no longer rings true.'
Fenriz describes Pre-Historic Metal as 'a loose term,' stating, 'just figure it's our VIBE, our take on things and it's more a statement that we use old style to create something new.' He emphasizes their identity as metal with 'very loud guitars' and characterizes the music as 'frightfully barbaric but not without finesse.'
The first single from the forthcoming CoSemo album is the soulful, instant classic, house track 'You Know Where To Go'. Produced by Finnian Casey it features vocals from Nick DeCoSemo and Kristina Train. Aside from Kristina's sublime singing 'You Know Where To Go' is given another, authentic analog dimension via additional Rhodes Piano and classic synth parts - provided by English Mercury Music Prize-nominee and Indie Rock legend Ed Harcourt.
"'Dancing' really captures the playful side of what Steve and I discovered on stage together last summer - that push-and-pull of melody and energy. The video gave us a chance to show that spirit in a completely different way. Watching ZZ bring this absurd casting concept to life - and having Brendon step into the madness - made it even more fun."
I still have to go to the studio after this and I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son after the studio. Longest day ever. Just after 2:30 a.m., Rihanna can be seen hard at work in the studio, with the session going on well past 5 a.m.
Yungblud and Aerosmith have added a bit of bluegrass to their recent collaborative single "My Only Angel" with a new version featuring banjo playing by comedy legend Steve Martin. "My Only Angel (Desert Road Version)" offers an acoustic take on the song, which is one of five tracks on Yungblud and Aerosmith's upcoming EP, One More Time, set for release on November 21st.
Produced by the trailblazing queer British duo Charlie Zlutz and Vascha, "Diva" transcends mere entertainment; it's a movement. The accompanying visualizer features Ivy adorned in stunning gold body paint, juxtaposed against a dark and shimmering universe that symbolises transformation, inner power, and the radiant glow that comes from embracing one's true identity. This vivid imagery captures the essence of owning who you are and shining brightly, even in the shadows.
Lil Nas X was arrested early this morning for the alleged battery of a police officer, CNN reports. The rapper was also taken to a Los Angeles area hospital "for a possible overdose." The arrest occurred after Lil Nas X allegedly charged at police officers, per NBC News. TMZ published footage of Lil Nas X that was apparently filmed not long before his Thursday morning arrest.
On the first track, Jenkins links with TDE's Ab-Soul over a Python P production that leans into minor-key eeriness and abstract textures. The two emcees riff on competition and legacy with a poet's restraint and a fighter's resolve, crafting verses that feel like coded warnings rather than brash declarations.
