FROM 23 PUNK: 

 

Sick Of It All vocalist Lou Koller has passed away at the age of 59.

“It's with unbelievable sadness that we announce to our worldwide hardcore family the passing of our brother Lou Koller. The level of loss that we feel at this time is overwhelming. This year would have marked Sick of it All's 40th anniversary as a band, and Lou's camaraderie, commitment and enthusiasm were always steadfast throughout the years. We have lost a beloved friend and an iconic frontman. Lou had the power to raise everyone's spirits at our shows with a smile and a sarcastic comment, and he won people over wherever we played, from every culture and every corner of the world.

At this time of intense grief, we must again acknowledge the great help and support offered by everyone who donated to Lou's medical fund. You all helped Lou feel very special and very loved as he battled away these last two years. His battle is over now and he can finally rest. Hopefully he can somehow still see and feel the beautiful, positive mark he left on the world.” - Sick Of It All

Rest in peace, Lou

July 15, 1967 – July 24, 2026 

FROM DROPKICK MURPHY S

: Rest in peace old friend. We were all lucky to have known you, traveled with you and shared many stages with you. Music lost one of its best today. One of the real good guys

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal R.I.P.

DESOLATE PATHWAY: SET TO UNLEASH "VISIONS IN DEATH"

 

 

 

 London, England Epic doom metal warriors have announced the bands anticipated debut release "VISIONS IN DEATH", due to be unleashed 9/25/2026 via MEUSE MUSIC RECORDS.  

 

 

 

 

 

FROM DESOLATE PATHWAY: 

 

Dear friends and followers, we're glad to present Desolate Pathway's new album 'Visions In Death'.

'Visions In Death' has been 5 years in the making.

Taking a slight directional change from the previous 2 albums, now being 10 years ago, as time passes therefore influences, experience and feelings change.

'Visions In Death' brings guitar driven melancholic doom, layered with epic guitar leads and harmonies with real life pain, suffering and despair while intense feel and passion enters every note. It is written around the subject of demons and dark, malevolent entities.

Songs like 'The Dark Prince' and 'Vampire's Kiss' bring vibe of Dracula and a female vampire that seduces her prey. Then the 'Creeper and Beasts of Doom' tell stories of creatures that hunt in the night.

This album gives you everything in an Epic Doom presentation that will take you on a journey or pain, suffering and euphoria.

The album will be released on September 25th as CD Audio Digipack 6-panels format with an 8-pages booklet!

Stay tuned for more details and pre-orders launch!

FROM RAGE: 

 

Rageheads,

Peavy came through his back surgery and is recovering well. Recovery takes time - and he’ll need several weeks to heal fully and make sure everything stays on the right track.Because of that, we’ve decided to cancel the following shows early, giving the promoters enough time to fill our slots and giving all of you a proper heads-up.

Peavy won’t be able to join Uli Jon Roth’s set at W:O:A, Lucky will still be there to play some drums, though. We also have to step back from Malpaga Sounds Festival, Rockové Hranice, Rock am Turm and Sons Of Rock Metal Fest.

We know how much work, passion and heart goes into organizing these festivals, and we’d love for you to still be there. If you’ve got a ticket or were planning to go, please still show up and support the festivals, the promoters and the other bands. Every ticket and every person in the crowd makes a real difference.

For now, our focus is on Peavy’s recovery. Things are looking good, and we can’t wait to be back on stage with you. We’ll keep you posted every step of the way.

Stay healthy and see you soon!
