Ministry have released the latest music video from their Squirrelly Years project, with early era rarity "I'll Do Anything For You" getting the reworked treatment.
Though originally released as an '80s synthpop love song, the music video adds a political twist to the song in typical modern Ministry fashion:

In a widely reposted takedown, Rody Walker, lead vocalist of the acclaimed progressive metal band Protest the Hero, has publicly called out Brand New frontman Jesse Lacey on his ongoing history of allegations as a child groomer.
At a show earlier this month, Walker claimed Lacey was a "motherfucker [who] was grooming children" and that he "should not be afforded the stage he used [to do so]". This follows the announcement of Brand New's first tour dates since 2017 and is supported by a number of allegations by those claiming to have survived underage grooming and/or experiences sexual misconduct with Lacey in the early 00s.
Lacey's lyricism from the period contemporaneous with that referenced by the original allegations (leading up to 2003's Deja Entendu) has been noted for its emphasis on toxic power dynamics, abusive relationships and narcissism. The band's subsequent three records explore a range of themes, but have been noted for th ...more

Swedish progressive death/doom metal band In Mourning announced their newest album The Immortal, which will be released on August 29th.
Quoting Tobias Netzell (lead vocals, guitar):
"This album has the best sounding balance between organic and modern metal I've ever heard. From the very start of the writing process I had this vision of making the album sound incredible, massive and huge. Kind of a darker tone than previous releases, and like a cold wind blowing throughout the whole record with a slight touch of black metal."

3. Song of the Cranes
4. As Long as the Twilight Stays

West Virginia's MySpace-era metalcore outfit Castle Grayskull has returned with a freshly remastered edition of their 2010 debut album To Live as Brutes, now available through Secret Swarm Records. The remaster was crafted by renowned producer and engineer Jamie King.
The album is available for streaming and free download on Bandcamp: https://secretswarmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-to-live-as-brutes
Currently, Castle Grayskull are hard at work on new material, with plans to release new music later this year. Their latest single, “Spliced With Tiger DNA,” marks their first new song in 15 years and can be streamed below.
Norwegian experimental grindcore band Psudoku have released their new album, Psudoktrination, a chaotic burst of what the band calls “progressive space grind,” which can be streamed in its entirety on Bandcamp: https://psudoku.bandcamp.com/album/psudoktrination
In the band's own words:
"Not even the most sophisticated recommender systems will accurately predict your preference for this integration between sparse, echo effected grunts and metallic clanks dominated by fast space grind drumming and complex electric strings. Space junk special effects pollute the atmosphere, while the occasional wah pedal magnifies the radioactivity of the numerous barre chords, all in order to psudoktrinate audience members for several minutes at a time."
Scottish post-rock band Mogwai have released their latest studio album, The Bombing of Pan Am 103, which serves as the original soundtrack for the new BBC and Netflix drama of the same name. The six-part series explores the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and its aftermath.
Former The Devil Wears Prada drummer Daniel Williams tragically lost his life while onboard a plane that crashed into the Tierrasanta area of San Diego, CA. Prior to this, he had posted on social media happily about taking off in this plane. Also among the lives lost is talent agent Dave Shapiro of Sound Talent Group, who managed names such as Sum 41, Story of the Year, and Parkway Drive.
Sound Talent Group spoke of the crash, stating the following: "We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted by today’s tragedy. Thank you so much for respecting their privacy at this time."
Williams was a member of The Devil Wears Prada from 2005 up to 2016. His former bandmates spoke of his death this afternoon: “no words. We owe you everything. Love you forever.”
French polka band Igorrr have released a music video for their new single "ADHD", paying tribute to fans traumatized by their previous video "Very Noise". The track is taken from their upcoming album Amen, which is set to be released on September 26 on Metal Blade Records.
Death metal supergroup Sinsaenum have returned with a new single and album.
The group had been working on new material after the end of touring for their 2017 effort Repulsion For Humanity, but progress came to an abrupt halt with the death of drummer Joey Jordison (Slipknot, Vimic, Murderdolls et al) in 2021.
However, in 2023 it was revealed that work on the new album was continuing, followed by more silence until they announced a comeback show at Tyrant Fest in France later this year. This has now been followed by the release of the track "In Devastation", the lead single from the 3rd album of the same name. In Devastation is set for release 8 August 2025.
However, the track credits indicate that not all members from the group's initial run are returning to the fold. While vocalist Sean Zatorsky (Dååth, ex-Chimaira) and guitarist Frédéric Leclercq (Kreator, Loudblast, Amahiru, ex-DragonForce) have remained, the credits list Nathanael ...more

All three songs are available now on streaming services.
Josh Freese announced on his social media accounts that Foo Fighters decided to part ways with him. An odd move given his expertise and prowess as a drummer. He joined them in 2023, before the release of But Here We Are. No official information was provided by the band themselves as of yet. A few days ago, however, it was revealed they will play at the Singapore Grand Prix on October 4.
Read Freese's statement below:
"The Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know they’ve decided “to go in a different direction with their drummer.” No reason was given. : ( Regardless, I enjoyed the past two years with them, both on and off stage, and I support whatever they feel is best for the band. In my 40 years of drumming professionally, I’ve never been let go from a band, so while I’m not angry—just a bit shocked and disappointed. But as most of you know I’ve always worked freelance and bounced between bands so, I’m fine. Stay tuned for ...more

After several months of cryptic teasers, new band PRESIDENT have debuted their first single, "In the Name of the Father". The band appear to be managed by Future History Management, the same company that manages divisive pop/metal act Sleep Token.
Much like Sleep Token, PRESIDENT are an anonymous, masked band who have delivered most of their marketing through cryptic statements. Unlike Sleep Token, however, "In the Name of the Father" appears to be a far more straightforward metalcore/radio-friendly hard rock track.
Despite only having one single to their name, PRESIDENT have already secured a spot at this year's Download Festival, fueling speculation that the masked collective are either an industry plant or a supergroup (though the prevailing fan theory is a supergroup due to guesses about the lead singer's identity).
Auri, the atmospheric folk project featuring members of Nightwish, have released their new song Shieldmaiden from the upcoming album III – Candles & Beginnings.
