NT about the single: “‘Soprano’ is a celebration of the power of women, especially

are silenced worldwide. But we are still shouting from the rooftops! This song aims to
empower, encourage connection, and promote friendship, spreading ‘boss energy’
and lifting each other up.”

Wake up people, the twins have another a supernova
banger In store to pump up your adrenaline.

Get ‘SATANIZED’ By Metal Pop Pope GHOST

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than a stream of caffeine

5 March 2025

Swedish theatrical pop-metal band GHOST fronted by the singer-songwriter,
actor, filmmaker and metal pope Tobies Jens Forge aka Papa Emeritus launch
their new, 6th LP, baptized Skeletá on April 25th. More info here.

Press info: “Skeletá, is the band’s most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter – such as Impera’s meditations on the rise and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle’s evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues – Skeletá’s lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view.”


New album artwork

At its sonic core the first single, called SATANIZED
is a devil-may-care pop song. Melodic and devout.

It’s the bombastic guitar-infused orchestration and the visual
theatrics that make Ghost the special, attractive and immensely
worshipped act they are today.

Wake up people, Satan is your
(g)host today. Turn up the heat.

BILLY IDOL Is Back And Still Dancing With Himself

Here comes Billy again.

Idol (born William Michael Albert Broad, 69 years ago) started his career with
London‘s punk band Generation X (1975-1981). After the band broke up smart
money-greedy American marketing people discovered him, signed him and
trasnformed him into a mainstream punk rebel. And it worked big bucks time.

Two years ago he and his old Gen X bandmate Tony James and the Sex Pistols‘ drummer
Paul Cook and guitarist Steve Jones got together for some gigs billed as Generation Sex.

He’s nominated for this year’s Rock and Roll of Fame event.
And he recorded a new solo LP, his 9th and first in 11 years.
It’s titled Dream Into It. It appears on April 25th.

The first single STILL DANCING a nod to Generation X’s 1981 hit
Dancing With Myself. Idol took the song along as he went solo.

Idol: “Still Dancing” is really a reflection of my whole journey. From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live.

At the start of the song I’m recalling the early times in London, when I was living in squats
or at friends’ apartments, all my belongings in a plastic bag. Everybody at home or work told you what you were doing was never going to happen. But punk rock gave me an opening. I was surrounded by people who loved the music as deeply as I did and you were going to throw caution to the wind, believe in what you were doing and grab on for dear life.

As the song says, there have been many moments along the way where I’ve been self destructive. But what’s seen me through is that unflinching belief in the music that
started all those years ago. That’s been the greatest gift of all.

Wake up, people,
Billy is still rocking.
