Disturbed’s David Draiman has given fans some insight into the new music the band’s been working on.

“I’ll tell you one thing… I’ve had a lot of time to go over these last songs we’ve written,” he wrote in a post on X. “Took time away, came back to them, and fell in love with them all over again.”

He described the songs as “Diverse, fresh, and powerful.”

Draiman noted that it will “be some time” before the new music is released, but added, “I can’t wait for these songs to see the light of day.”

He noted, “I think everyone will be pleasantly…surprised.”

When the new music is finally released it will be the band’s first album since 2022’s Divisive.

Next up, Disturbed is set to play the Inkcarceration Festival in Mansfield, Ohio, on July 17. They are also booked to play Hollywood, Florida, on July 25.

Ariana Grande haunts Justin Long in new video for ‘hate that i made you love me’

Ariana Grande is a vengeful ghost in the new video for her song “hate that i made you love me,” the first single from her album petal.

In the clip, actor Justin Long is seen digging a grave in the desert; as he drives away, we go down beneath the dirt and see that Ariana is trapped in a dirty room, surrounded by black-and-white composition books, which she starts reading. One is labeled “Insecurities.”

Meanwhile, Justin drives away, throwing a picture of Ari out the window. He looks at the rearview mirror, only to see her sitting in the back seat. He then sees her standing in the road in front of him and drives through her. He panics and flips the car, which bursts into flames. As he staggers away, Ariana appears in the road.

Back at home, Justin tries to get rid of everything in his house that reminds him of Ari. He picks up a plate that reads “Happy 8th Anniversary” — likely because petal is Ari’s eighth album — and chucks it in the fireplace. That causes some kindling to spill onto the rug and set the room — and him — on fire.

A burned-up Justin then staggers into a diner, but all the patrons are Ariana, and so is the waitress, whose name tag reads “Petal.”  

Finally, Justin goes back to the desert and digs up the grave. He descends into the room and finds it empty. Then, he looks up and see Ariana, who starts shoveling dirt on top of him. The end.

The final night of Sepultura’s North American tour had a special guest on drums: Dave Grohl.

The Foo Fighters frontman joined the Brazilian metal legends at The Wiltern in LA to play drums on “Kaiowas,” from their 1993 album, Chaos A.D. You can watch the fan-shot performance on YouTube.

The concert was not only the final show of the tour, it was the band’s final show in North America. Their current tour is a farewell trek, and the last show of their career will take place Nov. 7 in São Paulo, Brazil. Also on the bill is Metal Allegiance, an all-star group made up of members of Dream Theater, Testament, Mastodon and others.

Sepultura was founded in 1984 by brothers Max Cavalera and Iggor Cavalera, though neither is currently in the band. Guitarist Andreas Kisser recently told Metal Hammer that he reached out to the Cavalera brothers to be part of the final Sepultura concert, but they declined the invitation. However, former members Jean Dolabella and Jairo Guedz will be performing.

Peter Gabriel dropped another song from his upcoming album, o/i.

The latest, released on Sunday to coincide with May’s second full moon, is “A Hard Lesson,” which Gabriel describes as “the oldest track of the project.”

“It probably started in the late 80s or early 90s when I was in Senegal,” Gabriel explains. “I was falling in love with the music I heard there. I loved the tension created by the use of polyrhythms, particularly the threes and fours, so that was the start of this song.”

He adds, “It’s a quirky, strange and long track but it’s a journey. It’s about trying to find a place, your place, how you fit in.”

As he did with his last album, 2023’s i/o, Gabriel is releasing a new song from o/i with each full moon of the year. The entire album will be released by the end of 2026, along with Dark-Side and Bright-Side mixes handled by Tchad Blake and Mark “Spike” Stent, respectively.

“A Hard Lesson (Bright-Side Mix)” is now available via digital outlets.

Céline Dion hasn’t sung one note of her Paris residency yet, but she’s already making plans to continue it into 2027.

She’s expanding her planned residency by 10 dates, which will take place in May of 2027 at Paris La Défense Arena. The residency, which will mark her first full concerts since 2020, gets underway Sept. 12 and will run through Oct. 17 of this year. The new dates are May 8, 12, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22, 26, 28 and 29.

A select number of fans who registered for the original artist and venue presales but failed to get tickets the first time around will now get a dedicated sales window during which they’ll have another chance to purchase tickets. They’ll receive emails with instructions.

The artist presale for the new dates starts June 3 at 10 a.m. Central European Summer Time; the venue presale starts June 4 at the same time. Tickets and hotel packages will be available starting June 3 at the 10 a.m. CEST via eventtravel.com.

Céline’s choice of Paris as the city for her return to the stage is fitting: Her first public performance after revealing her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis took place at the Eiffel Tower during the 2024 Olympics.

In her latest single “SS26,” Charli XCX sings, “Nothing’s gonna save us, not music, fashion or  film.” But she’s just unveiled the cover of her new album, which pictures a legend in each of those fields.

The album is called Music, Fashion, Film and the black-and-white album cover shows Rock & Roll Hall of Famer John Cale, designer Marc Jacobs and filmmaker Martin Scorsese, all posing together in one room.  On Instagram, Charli writes, “My new album Music, Fashion, Film is out july 24th. 11 songs, 30 minutes, 5 seconds. available to pre order now, love you xx.”

Charli previously worked with John Cale, best known as a member of the iconic band The Velvet Underground, on her soundtrack for the movie Wuthering Heights. Over the years, Charli has fronted several Marc Jacobs campaigns. To date, she has yet to work with Scorsese.

So far, Charli has released two songs from the album: “Rock Music” and “SS26,” as well two B-sides, “Playboy Bunny” and “i keep on thinking bout you every single day and night.” She has said that neither of those songs will appear on the album.
