Band: DIE SPITZ
Who: Young deafening noisemakers
from Austin, Texas.

Track: THROW YOURSELF TO THE SWORD
Newest single from upcoming debut LP, named
Something To Consume, out on September 12th.

TUTV: If Jack White asks you to join his Third Man Records label I think
you have something great to say. In this case something great to scream.
Die Spitz are a merciless barnstorming quartet. Metal meets hard rock.
Illegal amount of decibels. Deafening. Herculean. Towering. Cutting like
a jagged sword.

Wake up people,
but don’t try
this at home.

to Michael Douglas in Falling Down?

You are not crazy! Governments all over the world have slowly but surely taken steps

Band: FROST CHILDREN
Who: Kicky electro pop duo from St. Louis, Missouri,
now residing near Ridgewood in New York City.

Track: FALLING
New single from their 3rd, upcoming
album, titled Sister.


“‘Falling’ is the double feeling of euphoric and melancholic, both of which seem to be glued together,” the duo explains. “The best part of dance is that you get to let go and leave whatever reality is in the shadows for a moment, and this song especially had that intention to feel like the euphoria was also an escape of something so real and so sad as your life falling apart in front of you, and wanting someone or something else to take that burden away and take you over.”

Wake-up people,
NIN have gone
powerhouse pop.

JUDAS PRIEST Honor Peers BLACK SABBATH With A Jaw-Dropping ‘WAR PIGS’ Cover

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

3 July 2025

This Saturday, July 5th, metal overlords BLACK SABBATH
play their final concert in their hometown of Birmingham (UK)
with a giant cast of support acts.

Sabbath‘s peers JUDAS PRIEST are not on the list as they’re on a tour
of their own, but they want to honor Ozzy & Co with a cover of 1970’s
anti-war anthem WAR PIGS.

JP played it regularly on their shows lately. For the occasion, they
recorded it in the studio and shared it with a video clip (see below).

Their take is pretty cool, even jaw-dropping. Legendary
frontman Rob Halford‘s performance is paranoid.

“Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah”
