New Music/Video

As I Lay Dying - We Are the Dead feat. Alex terrible and Tom Barber https://youtu.be/Z0SA-1rXdw0?si=VkIlMkz_rOV_o1gt Barber formerly of Lorna Shore, currently of Chelsea Grin. THIS is new AILD!! I don’t know if they stepped it up for the guest spots, but whatever they did KEEP IT UP.

Whitechapel - A Visceral Retch https://youtu.be/UzsX5pjZggo?si=kgdw9YVhePBRgVfM I once heard someone say that new Whitechapel material “isn’t as heavy” as it used to be… well, this proves them to be silly people.

Mastodon V Lamb of God - Floods of Triton https://youtu.be/9glOHT7V2d0?si=C101lgbfQGlHVgZA 2 Heavy hitters in the metal world come together to give us a fairly mid new track. Still good, but is it really up to the standards of EITHER band? Cool vocal stuff too.

Dead Icarus - Bearing Burdens and Saving Skin https://youtu.be/hGJbi0nMcRc?si=OSGvIM4cclmu0oJp Summed up by the top comment “Dead Icarus is PEAK Alex…” I couldn’t agree more. The mix on this one is a little muddy. But the actual music is KILLER.

A Killer's Confession - Voices ( Featuring Aaron Nordstrom) https://youtu.be/m6FR4Ioggmg Finally listening to new Waylon stuff… Not really a MRH sound to it, but that isn’t a bad thing. A little butt-rocky though. DEF showing his Nu-Metal roots.

Silly Goose - Bad Behavior https://youtu.be/fIlKlsFLDuU to start i dig the punk DIY style. NU METAL??? Not bad, but unexpected.

Neon Nightmare - She’s Drowning https://youtu.be/teE_1veQ8-0 MORE! I NEED MORE! That bassline is fantastic!

Nytt Land - The Lame Rogue https://youtu.be/sW7w_Ri1JEU More story telling than previously assumed. Still has an essence of “If not for Heilung…”

LL COOL J - Murdergram Deux ft. Eminem https://youtu.be/50Tl8E0Vvms THIS is a jam. Been a long time since i have dug an LL song.

Bleeding Through - Dead But So Alive https://youtu.be/JgR2W_ps1Wc Brandon Schieppati crawled so that Alex Terrible could run. And now it seems that is coming full circle. Really cool to see Marta’s vocals shine.

Poppy - They’re All Around You https://youtu.be/EiG82CSq948 WTF even is this? Is Poppy becoming a metal act?

August Burns Red - Exhumed https://youtu.be/iqfh8n24qT4 meh…

This move ensures both titles will remain functional even if servers are taken offline, addressing concerns about game accessibility. The petition seeks to gather a million signatures by 2025.

Rumor Mill

Confirmations/Refutations

REFUTE: Knull - According to Knull creator, Donny Cates, Knull will be fighting Venom, presumably, throughout the movie. This kills the rumors that Knull will actually just have a post credit sting cameo.

REFUTE: Goonies 2 - Both Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton have shot down claims that the movie is about to hit production. This could be WB being sneaky and not bringing in Feldman or Plimpton, but the rumor says that WB wants to “get it right”, so that seems unlikely. Sean Aston has yet to chime in.

New Sources

Resident Evil - Another source saying that both Code Veronica and Zero are both in the works to some degree.

New Rumors

Knull - The symbiote god is going to be a big bad in the MCU proper in the future. With a spot in Secret Wars too.

~ALSO~
Norman Reedus is NOT playing the God of the Symbiotes. The rumor is that title will actually go to Rhys Ifans, who is OBVIOUSLY not returning as the Lizard.

Spider-Man 4 - Knull to be the Villain, pushing plans for the rumored “street level” Spider-man movie back.

~ALSO~

Destin Daniel Cretton rumored for the Director’s chair. Cretton was supposed to direct Kang Dynasty. Seems like a lock (IGN) also would mean a boon for the Wonder Man series as Cretton is set to produce.
~ALSO~

Still ANOTHER source says that Spider-Man 4 will NOT deal with the multiverse, though still an “Avengers-level event.”

Scarlet Witch - Elizabeth Olsen set to return to the MCU

X-Men - TWO different projects in the works.

~ALSO~

Kelsey Grammer said to be returning for Beast. Which would have legacy Beast and legacy Wolverine alongside 2 separate X-Men teams.

Nintendo Switch 2 - Manufacturing is reportedly starting now, with a possible trailer this week. Design details are leaking from the factory workers, indicating that the console will look similar to its predecessor and actually be called the Switch 2.

MCU - Doctor Strange 3 is expected on February 13, 2026.

Possible Scarlet Witch movie on November 6, 2026.

SPECULATION

Grant Morrison - returning to the Ice Cream Man crossover book. As alluded to by the post from Image with Morrison’s name on top of some ice cream scoops and in a font familiar to the fanbase.
