More than two decades after Evanescence crashed into mainstream rock with the gothic grandeur of Fallen, the band finds itself in an unlikely position: bigger, louder, and more creatively fearless than ever before. But according to frontwoman Amy Lee, the real triumph of the band’s new album Sanctuary isn’t the arenas, the stadiums, or the

For years, Cali Reggae has lived in a strange middle ground. Too massive to be dismissed as a niche scene, too culturally fluid to ever fit neatly into the traditional festival ecosystem, the genre has spent decades building an empire just outside the mainstream spotlight. But on Saturday, June 13, that changes. When Field Of
For a band with only two songs released, Untitled already sound like they’ve been pulled from a different era entirely. Not in the cynical, algorithm-chasing way many modern “throwback” bands operate, but in the messy, loud, gloriously unpolished tradition of kids discovering that distortion pedals and basement speakers can still change your life.

Before DizzyIsDead started showing up on lineups alongside legacy acts, Blake Lounsbury was a rapper grinding it out for more than a decade. He built his name the hard way, stacking shows and putting in the kind of work that defines independent hip-hop careers. But over time, the connection to that version of himself began

Maynard James Keenan does not romanticize songwriting. He does not wait for lightning. He does not light candles and hope the muse shows up. He sets a trap for it. If you have ever wondered how Maynard James Keenan comes up with those spiraling melodies that feel both mathematical and instinctual at the same time,
Puscifer have never operated like a traditional rock band. They’re closer to a small production house that happens to write bangers, an ecosystem where characters, visuals, studio tricks, and songwriting all feed the same weird brain.
