This originally was supposed to be a celebration of their first album (95). NOW, however, they will be performing a different setlist each night, with SOME nights to include unreleased, UN RECORDED, material. PLUS they have announced once this very long tour wraps up they will be entering the studio. https://metalinjection.net/news/clutch-to-debut-new-material-on-their-european-tour-will-no-longer-celebrate-their-self-titled-debut Isaac Hale - The Knocked Loose, Inclination, and XWeaponX guitarist has announced that he is now doing TWO MORE projects; Everybody Dies and Couldn’t Be Me. Both projects have 5 song EPs out to be streamed on Spotify. Everybody Dies is apparently the largest departure from his work in Knocked Loose, though not un-heavy. The EP recorded for this band was done with the help of Cody Davidson of Sanguisugabogg and Aaron and Andrew Kisielewski from year of the knife. https://metalinjection.net/news/knocked-loose-guitarist-isaac-hale-now-has-two-brand-new-projects-couldnt-be-me-and-everybody-dies Suggests Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (2013) - This album was a global phenomenon, won Album of the Year at the Grammys, and is an undeniable modern classic. It's a masterclass in production, songwriting, and blending electronic music with live instrumentation and disco/funk influences. A change of pace, but fits your wider taste and its classic status is undisputed.Gaming/TechFollow-ups/Corrections Nintendo Switch 2 - The pre-order has been put on hold in the US, though the release date is still planned for June 5th.

Though, look no further than the current 616 iteration of Spider-Man and MJ to see that the heartbreak is only a matter of time. https://boundingintocomics.com/comic-books/after-years-snubbing-spider-man-and-mj-fans-marvel-comics-exec-editor-says-he-wont-break-up-x-mens-gambit-and-rogue-because-readers-in-general-seem-to-be-invested-in-them-as-a-couple/ Suggests Immortal Hulk (Marvel Comics, 2018 - 2021)Writer: Al Ewing / Artist: Joe Bennett (primarily)Genre: Superhero / Body Horror / Psychological Horror Forget "Hulk Smash." This run is DARK. Ewing leaned hard into the horror aspects of the Hulk, drawing inspiration from Cronenberg and classic monster movies. Bruce Banner can die, but the Hulk comes back… at night. It's twisted, unsettling body horror mixed with deep psychological dives into Banner's fractured psyche and explorations of cosmic horror, gamma radiation as a demonic force, and critiques of capitalism. Joe Bennett's art is visceral and genuinely disturbing at times. It's widely considered one of the best Marvel runs in decades and totally revitalized the character. Perfect for the nerd who likes their superheroes served with a side of existential dread and monstrous transformations – definitely resonates with a metalhead sensibility too.TV ShowsFollow-ups/Corrections Peacemaker - Season 2 release date Aug 21. Trailers Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld  - https://youtu.be/GkywNANueew?si=YNVFlR4S1EA6jcyW Cad Bane RETURNS!

June 6, get your GORE on!Suggests Game of Thrones (HBO, 2011-2019)Genre: Epic Fantasy / Political DramaDespite the controversial ending (which itself is a huge discussion topic!), GoT was a global phenomenon that redefined fantasy on television. It brought epic scale, complex characters, political intrigue, shocking twists, and high production values to the genre like never before. Dragons, White Walkers, massive battles – it hits all the fantasy buttons. But it also has that gritty realism, moral grayness, and sudden violence that keeps things grounded and intense. Its impact on pop culture is immense, making it an essential modern classic to cover. Just stay away from seasons seven and eight.MoviesFollow-ups/Corrections Minecraft - Movie opens with $162M domestically, and $313M world wide, at the box office. Possibly because it is one of the largest gaming franchises in history… possibly due to the sneak peak at Superman. We may never know. But what this seems to be with a little more certainty is that this is an example of Hollywood, apparently, giving an audience what they want instead of agenda driven and preachy content. So good on WB/Legendary for getting this one right it would seem. Just barely edging out Barbie’s opening weekend by about 700K. Thunderbolts - Tickets on sale for the movie. May 1 is advanced Thursday release. Death Stranding - The movie has a writer and director in Michael Samoski. Samoski was co-writer on A Quiet Place: Day One and Pig with Nic Cage. https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/the-death-stranding-movie-now-has-a-writer-and-director-153029985.html Trailers Tron: Ares - https://youtu.be/9KVG_X_7Naw?si=WNYnMqfO34b4Dtrc Tron breaks into the REAL world?

One man accidentally stays awake and starts unraveling a terrifying conspiracy about human identity. Released in 98, you will likely see A LOT of things the filmmakers of the Matrix borrowed from this movie. PLUS there is a new 4k collector’s edition coming out soon. STREAMING: for rent on Prime and Apple TV+.Rumor MillNew Rumors Molecule Man?? - Is Robert Downey Jr playing Molecule Man TOO? The birthday card that the Russo Brothers shared on their social media for Downey’s 60th seems to weirdly imply such things. Fortnight - Movie rumors are now circulating since Minecraft has destroyed expectations. Disney is a stakeholder in Epic Games, which would implicate them for distribution. James Bond - New rumor about who is going to direct, being Alfonso Cuaron. Cuaron has done Harry Potter, Children of Men, and Gravity, to name a few. Star Wars - Shawn Levy’s still in development movie is now being rumored to have cast Jesse Plemons as its villain. You will recognize his face from Civil War, and Black Mirror, amongst other things.

It features a 7.9-inch 1080p LCD screen with HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals in handheld mode. When docked, it supports 4K resolution at up to 120fps, aided by a redesigned dock with enhanced cooling. The console comes with 256GB of internal storage and supports microSD Express cards for faster data transfer, though standard microSD cards may not be compatible. The new Joy-Con controllers attach magnetically with a release button, are larger with bigger buttons and sticks, and can function as a mouse for certain games. A built-in microphone with noise cancellation enables voice chat via the new GameChat feature, and the system boasts improved speakers with 3D audio support.Backward compatibility is a cornerstone, allowing most original Switch games (physical and digital) to be playable, though some exceptions exist—e.g., Nintendo Labo VR Kit won’t work due to size differences, and games relying on the original Joy-Con’s IR sensor may require legacy controllers. Nintendo uses a hybrid approach (not pure emulation) to convert Switch game data in real-time, enabling enhancements like better resolution or GameChat integration when played on Switch 2. As of April 2025, all 122 Nintendo-developed Switch games tested were compatible except Labo VR, while 20% of over 15,000 third-party titles had no issues, with others still under investigation.Game Titles (Including Launch Titles and Third-Party Support)The Switch 2 launches on June 5, 2025, with Mario Kart World as its flagship title, featuring a vast, interconnected world and 24-player races, available standalone or in a $499.99 bundle with the console. Other first-party launch window titles include Donkey Kong Bananza (July 17, 2025), a 3D platformer with destructible environments, and Kirby Air Riders, a racing sequel to Kirby Air Ride, set for later in 2025. Enhanced “Switch 2 Edition” versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom will offer HDR, higher resolutions, and better frame rates, while Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Z-A (originally Switch titles) will get upgraded versions. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a Tears of the Kingdom prequel, is slated for Winter 2025.Third-party support is robust, with Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition (including Shadow of the Erdtree) and Borderlands 4 confirmed for 2025. Other rumored or confirmed titles include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Hades 2 (targeting 60fps), Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4. FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods, a steampunk-inspired Switch 2 exclusive, is planned for 2026. GameCube classics like The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker will join Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, enhancing the retro library.MiscellaneousThe Switch 2 retails at $449.99 standalone, with pre-orders starting April 9, 2025, prioritized for Nintendo Switch Online members with at least 12 months of paid membership and 50 gameplay hours. The GameChat feature, activated by a “C” button on the right Joy-Con, offers Discord-like voice and video chat, possibly tied to a subscription. A new Pro Controller ($79.99) includes an audio jack and remappable buttons, while accessories like a Switch 2 Camera ($49.99) integrate with games like Super Mario Party Jamboree. Virtual Game Cards debut in late April 2025, allowing digital game transfers across consoles or temporary lending within family accounts.Nintendo will host Switch 2 Experience events starting April 4-6, 2025, in cities like New York and Paris, offering hands-on demos. A digital-only Switch 2 Welcome Tour game launches with the console to teach players about its features via minigames. Battery life ranges from 2 to 6.5 hours, similar to the original Switch, depending on usage. Nintendo’s partnership with the Seattle Mariners will see Switch 2 logos on jerseys in 2025, boosting promotion. Game prices may rise to $90 for Switch 2 exclusives, aligning with industry trends.SuggestsLegend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Building on Breath of the Wild, it adds mind-blowing mechanics like Ultrahand and Recall, letting you craft insane vehicles, solve puzzles your way, and explore a world packed with secrets.

But leaves out a SOFT reboot. https://t.co/4wHsqdAoSo New RumorsMCU Leaks -Source of the Leak: The concept art surfaced online from Mushk Rizvi, a confirmed Marvel Studios employee according to LinkedIn, though it’s unclear if the leak was intentional or the result of a hack. The images were quickly taken down, but not before fans captured and shared them widely.Vision Quest Insights: The artwork includes two notable pieces for the upcoming Vision Quest series, which focuses on Vision attempting to regain his memory and humanity after WandaVision. One image features Jocasta, a female counterpart to Ultron (previously seen in a variant form in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), suggesting her appearance in the series. Another shows Peter Quill (Star-Lord) casually hanging out with Vision, indicating a surprising crossover between the two characters by the series’ end.Avengers: Doomsday Highlights: The leak offers a peek into Avengers: Doomsday, directed by the Russo Brothers and set to star Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom. The art depicts various arcs, including:A medieval-inspired setting with Doctor Doom on a throne, hinting at a multiverse storyline possibly tied to Battleworld or Latveria.Returning characters like Star-Lord, White Vision, Hulk, She-Hulk, and a potentially recast Black Panther, alongside the Fantastic Four cast (Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm).A modern scene with Star-Lord and Vision, contrasting the medieval elements and suggesting a blend of timelines or universes.Additional Projects: The leak also includes art for a canceled animated series titled Iron Man 3000, which would have featured Morgan Stark and Pepper Potts in a racing/car-themed show with a young female Vision, loosely adapting MCU canon. Other images hint at Fantastic Four: First Steps (set in a retro-futuristic 1960s world) and its connection to Doomsday.Context and Caveats: The article notes Marvel’s usual secrecy around projects, making this leak significant. However, it cautions that concept art doesn’t guarantee final storylines, as Marvel often evolves its plans during development. The leaked images align with known details, like the Fantastic Four’s debut on July 25, 2025, and Downey Jr.’s Doom role, but their exact integration into Doomsday remains speculative.https://thedisinsider.com/2025/03/01/see-it-new-leaked-concept-art-offers-first-look-at-vision-quest-avengers-doomsday-and-more/ Star Wars - Disney is apparently considering selling off their $4B purchase… Not just that, but they have been trying for about 7 months, and no one wants the IP.Gears of War: E-Day - Release date being moved to 2026 from Holiday of 2025.XBox - Next console to be released in 2026SPECULATIONOnly about 50% of what was leaked will actually resemble what we get as far as the Avengers stuff is concerned.
