King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Respond To AI Spotify Impersonator
Not long after they released their latest album Phantom Island back in June, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announced they were taking their massive catalog off of Spotify — one of many such cases this year.

Album Of The Week: This Is Lorelei Holo Boy
Double Double Whammy 2025 Nate Amos might be an actual genius. The NYC-based musician has been humbly but voluminously demonstrating his talents for years, piling up records across a range of aliases for some of the best labels in independent music.

The 10 Best Metal Albums Of 2025
I didn’t think too hard about dedicating the second-ever edition of this column to Ragne Wahlquist. The late Heavy Load frontman left an indelible mark on heavy metal, in his native Sweden and beyond, so writing about him after learning he’d died unexpectedly at the age of 69 just made sense. I stand behind that […]
Primal Scream Break Out Live Rarities At XTRMNTR 25th Anniversary Show In London
Primal Scream released their aggro electronic rock masterpiece XTRMNTR in 2000, which means it turned 25 this year. The band celebrated that quarter-century anniversary tonight with a full-album performance at the Roundhouse in London.

Sleep Token Unleash Debut Coloring Book
Last year, the masked, anonymous, post-Ghost British quasi-metal duo Sleep Token merited a great deal of discussion in Eli Enis’ great Stereogum piece about the new class of stadium-metal acts. Since then, Sleep Token have had a banner year. They scored their first-ever #1 album with Even In Arcadia. They landed three songs on the […]
