New Music/Video
Switchfoot- Last Man Standing feat Buddy Guy https://youtu.be/r6Rz5PvPUjATOTALLY not what I was expecting. More Buddy Guy than Switchfoot, and all the better for it.
Killswitch Engage- Collusion https://youtu.be/PoApILhc7YcThis new record might just e KsE in its most unhinged in YEARS.
Disturbed- I Will Not Break https://youtu.be/9YICpjeGsbETheir guitar player said they were trying to recapture the feel of their earlier records. Well the intro sounds like it was ripped right from an earlier song. Production is pretty good, a little drum heavy for me. Not bad, but not earth moving.
Bhad Bhabie- Ms. Whitman https://youtu.be/yo7_px4vXYQApparently a diss track against another “rapper” Alabama. First Drake and Kendrick, now this? LOL Bhabie also jabs at Travis Barker… because reasons. (Alabama is Barker’s daughter apparently…?) performance-wise… not terrible like I anticipated, but absolutely not something to waste your time on.
https://youtu.be/y1M8Ea46MgU- Alabama’s last diss.
Ghost Bath- Rose Thorn Necklace https://youtu.be/zN6EHnfS6MgOn Nuclear Blast. Slow-ish (?) death/black metal with melody? Yeah this is interesting.

President- Mysterious new band added to Download festival this year. No music, no following, slot on one of the biggest festival dates in the world.

Star Wars Eclipse/NetEase- The NetEase situation just seems to keep getting stickier. Star Wars Eclipse, the highly anticipated video game from Quantic Dream, might be facing the end of its journey. Reports suggest that its parent company, NetEase, is pulling back from overseas ventures and looking to offload studios, including Quantic Dream. Rumors of trouble aren’t new for Eclipse— whispers of cancellation first popped up in 2022— but this latest move by NetEase has fans on edge. If confirmed, it’d join a growing list of scrapped Star Wars titles like Battlefront 3 and Star Wars 1313. No official word yet, so stay tuned for updates.
~UPDATE~ Quantic Dream IS apparently unaffected by the restructuring at NetEase.
Marvel Rivals- First, to address the NetEase releasing of the development team last week… according to one of the producers the team was more in charge of logistics and HR type issues more than anything creative. “They were entitled, lazy, and woke.”
But the new update is those leaked characters are “real.” Meaning that all of those character you may or may not have heard about, are in SOME level of development, but that doesn’t mean they will make it to playable status.
