Official Merch from your Favourite Bands
Fleshgod Apocalypse have released a second studio video from their recent sessions recording their new album “King” which is set for release on February 05 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Motörhead frontman/bassist Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister has passed away due to a number of various health concerns including cancer, which was only found on December 26.
The band have released the following statement:
“There is no easy way to say this…our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from The Rainbow which had recently made it’s way down the street, with his family.
We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren’t words.
We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please…play Motörhead loud, playHawkwind loud, play Lemmy’s music LOUD.Have a drink or few.
Share stories.
Celebrate the LIFE this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself.
HE WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT.
Ian ‘Lemmy’ Kilmister
1945 -2015
Born to lose, lived to win.”
Drummer Mikkey Dee confirmed that the group will not continue without Kilmister:
“Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead. But the band will live on in the memories of many.”
“We won’t be doing any more tours or anything. And there won’t be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone.”
He was terribly gaunt, he spent all his energy on stage and afterwards he was very, very tired. It’s incredible that he could even play, that he could finish the Europe tour. It was only 20 days ago. Unbelievable.”“It feels fantastic that we were able to complete the tour with him. It’s heartening that we didn’t cancel because of Lemmy. I’m incredibly grateful over the years we had, and that we had such a good time together.”
Band manager Todd Singerman has also provided some information regarding the situation:
“Nobody had any idea, we just learned Saturday, two days ago, that he even had cancer, and the doctor told him he had between two to six months to live. He [died] today as I was making calls to Phil and Mikkey, telling them to come on out so they could have a last goodbye while he was still upbeat and everything. He was feeling mighty low… He wasn’t expected to die like that.”
“He gets home, we have a big birthday party for him at the Whisky A Go Go. A bunch of his friends came down and played. Two days later, like I said, he wasn’t feeling good, so we took him to the hospital and they release him, then after the brain scan they found the cancer in his brain and his neck, so that was the first day. We didn’t even know that yet. That was the day we took him and then all of a sudden the doctor comes with the result a couple of days later and says ‘here’s what this is and it’s terminal.’
I gotta tell ya that one of all things caught everybody by surprise, that was the was the last thing we thought he’d ever have. I mean when you think about it, he’s been to every doctor and hospital around the world and nobody caught that, I mean nobody.”
Guns N’Roses have teased fans once more by airing a short trailer before select Star Wars: The Force Awakens screenings.
This comes after months of rumors that the band would be returning in 2016 with their classic era lineup, with the band updating their website with their classic logo.

Thy Art Is Murder frontman CJ MacMahon has decided to leave the band.
Check out his statement below:
“With a mix of both negative and positive emotions, I inform you all that I have parted ways with my band Thy Art Is Murder. It has been a wild ride I have travelled to over 40 countries around the world and played alongside some of the worlds biggest and best bands, it brings me great sadness knowing I will never perform again for my amazing and supportive fans, this will be the hardest thing for me to deal with.
My reasons for leaving: I spend too much time away from my fiancé , family and friends, touring has taken a massive mental, emotional and physical toll on me. One of the biggest reasons is money, I / we have been broke for years and being 32 years old I can’t live like this anymore. I am getting married next year and plan on having a family, these things cost money, to put the finances into perspective for you I /we have earned between $16k-$18k each over 6-7 years, I feel there is something massively wrong with this, I will not live like this anymore.
I’m sorry to my fans that I have to go, I have loved you all and I thank you for believing in me supporting me. The money made from my closing down sale of my clothing label will be going to my wedding, I will also be selling my Northface stage jacket I have worn the last two years on stage via eBay soon to try to pay for my wedding for the people interested, again thank you for the love and support.
Your Prince Of Darkness Cj“
The band themselves have also released the following statement:
“After much conjecture and ambiguity on his behalf, it is with a heavy heart that we must announce today that CJ is no longer a part of Thy Art Is Murder. We have worked so hard from day one to make this band what it is now, and develop the reputation that we have and he had been there with us every step of the way.
We like to think that even if someone doesn’t like our music that they can at least respect our work ethic. This band has taken us to places we never thought we would see and to share stages with many bands we never thought we would get to play with or meet, let alone call friends. It is unfortunate that with our best year to date and our biggest paved out before us that he has decided to leave.
All this being said, touring as hard as we do does take its toll on you physically, but more importantly mentally and emotionally. We are an underground metal band, and have been so fortunate over the last two years to carve out a small income thanks to so many dedicated and generous fans around the world. For some people, it comes to a turning point in their life where that income is no longer enough for their personal goals, and that point has come for CJ. We would like to wish him all our best as he leaves the band and moves onward to start a family and new life with his loving fiancée.
The four of us are continuing forward into 2016 for some of the biggest and best tours of our lives. We won’t be slowing down or missing any shows. We head back out next month with Parkway Drive and Architects throughout Europe and the UK and will be taking one of our favourite vocalists with us, Nick Arthur from Molotov Solution. Thy Art is what we have done with all of our adult lives and we have put absolutely everything we have into the band and the friendship between the four of us. That friendship and drive to create extreme music is what has kept us together through thick and thin. Unfortunately not everyone can share this fire.”
Rob Zombie has announced that his new album will be titled “The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser”.
Fleshgod Apocalypse have released their first studio video from their recent sessions recording the new album “King” which is set for release on February 05 through Nuclear Blast.
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has recently revealed the band will be releasing new material in 2016.
New NIN coming in 2016. Other stuff, too.
