Now this is great to hear, The Kovenant was one of my favorite bands in my teens. They previously were making a new album "Aria Galactica" and its release date was pushed to 2007, then 2010 and beyond; the album never materialized, and the band members were busy with their other bands.

The Go-Go Museum & Café, the world’s only collection dedicated to the celebration, study and preservation of all things go-go, opens Wednesday in its birthplace, Washington, D.C.

Two days after his 100th birthday, Marshall Allen started recording New Dawn, his debut solo album. A member of Sun Ra’s Arkestra since 1958, Allen assumed leadership of the band in 1995. Throughout his nearly seventy-year career, Allen has never released a solo album under his own name, and yet, instead of capping such a legendary output, New Dawn seems to herald a new beginning. A love letter to spacetime, it channels a century of musical intelligence into seven tracks, showing Allen at his most protean — freely moving from relaxed, transdimensional palettes to bluesy big band and beyond.

JICO fills a unique role in the world of audio equipment: They’re essentially turntable needle archaeologists, reproducing discontinued needles so that music listeners can continue using vintage record players. Though the 13 people, including Morita, who work in the company’s turntable needle division also make original models like the Kurogaki, their main job is to reverse-engineer proprietary needles that have long gone out of production. If you’ve ever replaced a needle for an old turntable you found at a garage sale, odds are you purchased one of JICO’s handmade clones.

*"Nardcore is a hardcore punk movement that originated in the Oxnard suburbs of Silver Strand Beach and Port Hueneme. Early bands of the nardcore scene include Agression, Dr. Know, False Confession, Ill Repute, Habeas Corpus, Stalag 13, RKL and Scared Straight."* Wikipedia

Gregg Deal has a warning for everyone: “America is a pyramid scheme, and you ain’t on top!” The self-proclaimed “Bad Indian” behind the new Denver punk band Dead Pioneers delivers that blunt assessment in the opening track “Tired” from the band’s 2023 self-titled first album. It’s a scathing indictment of capitalism, racism, sexism, and every insidious side of prejudice and corruption pulsing through contemporary American society.

In the abyss before time, where the feathered serpent uncoiled in the darkness, the Popol Vuh whispers of creation’s dawn. Born from the void, gods with eyes like obsidian conjured mountains from nothingness and sculpted men from maize. Heroes rise, twins born of blood and sacrifice, destined to conquer the lords of Xibalba, a shadowy underworld teeming with whispers and decay. Yet, victory is fleeting, and even the sun and moon bear the scars of this cosmic struggle, their celestial dance a haunting reminder of the fragile balance between life and oblivion. Volahn returns with their third offering of ancestral Mayan black metal. The Black Twilight Circle continues the legacy of kings with Volahns crowning opus as its self-bloodletting sacrifice. While continuing the classic French/Russian black metal vanguard, Volahn dives deep to pursue the BTC dichotomy of unnerving dread and piercing triumphant soundscapes.

Although often associated with Satan, swords, and sorcery (and illegible logos), metal has always reflected on the environment and the state of the world. Indigenous bands have been part of the scene almost from its start more than five decades ago, but the past few years have seen a growing number of Native musicians writing about a wide range of subjects, from rurality to discrimination to the universal experience of having a good time despite all of that.

WTF is wrong AI CEO tech bros. People don't like making music? Get fucked.
