Seven long years since their latest studio offering, North German power metal collective MOB RULES returns with their eagerly awaited new album, entitled “Rise Of The Ruler”, that is slated for a release on August 22nd via ROAR. The follow-up to 2018's successful album “Beast Reborn” (which reached a sensational #37 in the German and #59 in the Swiss album charts) is not only a work brimming with creativity, wit and quality, but also the conceptual continuation of their two early albums “Savage Land” (1999) and “Temple Of Two Suns” (2000), with which MOB RULES laid the foundation for their career. Both albums are linked by an exciting concept story about life in a dystopian, hostile end-time world in which resources are becoming scarce. This is exactly where the band's new offering “Rise Of The Ruler” comes in and keyboardist Jan Christian Halfbrodt (who is responsible for all the lyrics) continues the thread. After previously-released songs, “Back To Savage Land” and "Future Loom", today, MOB RULES are  premiering an epic video clip for their new single “Trial and Trail of Fear"!  "The song 'Trial and Trail of Fear' is based on lumbering heavy metal riffs and creates an epic atmosphere," comments singer Klaus Dirks. "Lyrically, it deals with a scenario that many can relate to: one knows the feeling of diving headfirst into a new challenge, only to feel completely overwhelmed and fighting with all one's might to keep going."

On Wednesday, the reunited Alice Cooper Group released a music video for “Wild Ones,” the latest single from their upcoming album, The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which is set to be released on July 25. The song and video draws inspiration from the rebellious spirit of Marlon Brando’s 1953 film, The Wild One, with the band – featuring surviving original members of Cooper’s classic lineup from his celebrated 70s albums – shown recording the rousing track in the studio together. The 14-song record will also feature a posthumous appearance by original guitarist Glen Buxton, who died in 1997, via the previously unreleased song, “What Happened to You.” While a box set edition will include a rediscovered 1970 version of “Return of the Spiders,” which was remixed by producer Bob Ezrin. This fall, Cooper will hit the road for a 22-date co-headlining tour of North America with Judas Priest. (Rolling Stone)

On Tuesday (May 20), Iron Maiden shared a message urging fans to limit their phone usage during their upcoming Run for Your Lives World Tour, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary heavy metal band. “We really want fans to enjoy the shows first hand, rather than on their small screens,” explains Maiden’s longtime manager, Rod Smallwood. “The amount of phone use nowadays diminishes enjoyment, particularly for the band who are on stage looking out at rows of phones, but also for other concertgoers. The phone obsession has now got so out of hand that it has become unnecessarily distracting especially to the band. I hope fans will be sensible in severely limiting the use of their phone cameras out of respect for the band and their fellow fans.” Smallwood hopes fans “have the time of your lives as you join your Maiden family by singing your heart out, rather than getting your phone out!” Maiden’s tour gets underway on May 27 with a sold-out show in Budapest.

Dutch metal powerhouse Martyr has announced their brand new studio album, entitled "Dark Believer", for an August 15th-release on ROAR! A video clip for the band's first single, the colossal album title track, is now premiering below!   “The first single from our upcoming album Dark Believer is HERE. During the writing and recording process, this song evolved into something dark and mysterious,“ the band states. “Embracing the shadows—where demons lurk, witches chant, and lost souls are drawn into the unknown. Heaviness meets melody. Crushing riffs. Epic vocals. Relentless bass and drums. It’s pure MARTYR metal. Dark Believer is your first descent into the abyss we’ve carved on our new album. A taste of evil, despair, and hypocrisy that stains the soul of humanity.”

On Monday (May 5), David Lee Roth announced the dates and details of his Summer 2025 US tour, marking the Van Halen legend’s first live trek in five years. Diamond Dave’s 14-date tour stretches from late July through mid September, starting in Hollywood, Florida, on July 31, and concluding in Napa, California on September 14, while making stops in Tampa, Atlantic City, Cincinnati, and St. Louis along the way. Ticket pre-sale begins on Tuesday (May 6), with a general on-sale scheduled for Friday (May 9). This announcement follows the 70-year-old singer's first full concert in five years at the M3 Rock Festival, where he performed a set comprised entirely of Van Halen classics to an overwhelmingly positive response. Other than a few corporate gigs over the past few years, Roth’s last official show was opening for KISS back in March of 2020.

On Wednesday (April 30), Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry reunited to perform together at a San Francisco benefit concert raising funds for Janie's Fund, Tyler's nonprofit organization supporting vulnerable women. Alongside an all-star band, the notorious “Toxic Twins” played a series of classic Aerosmith hits like "Toys in the Attic" “Same Old Song and Dance,” “Sweet Emotion,” “Dream On,” and “Walk This Way,” and a couple of covers. The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander, former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, and Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt also performed at the event. Despite Aerosmith announcing their live retirement in August 2024 due to Tyler's vocal cord injury, the singer previously performed at his annual Grammy Awards watch party – which was another benefit for Janie’s Fund – and he was also just added to the lineup for Black Sabbath’s historic farewell concert in Birmingham, England on July 5. 

Amid their ongoing 60th anniversary tour, the Scorpions have faced health setbacks as 76-year-old singer Klaus Meine's respiratory infection forced the cancellation of concerts in Buenos Aires, Argentina (on April 26) and Bogotá, Colombia (April 30). The German rock legends expressed their deep regret and disappointment over the cancellations in a series of posts on Facebook, vowing to make every effort to return to the affected countries. Health issues also affected the band earlier in the year, as they were forced to postpone their Las Vegas residency due to drummer Mikkey Dee's recovery process from a sepsis diagnosis, with rescheduled dates now set for August 2025. Despite these challenges, the Scorpions plan to resume their tour in Ecuador on May 3, followed by shows in Mexico and a series of European dates before their U.S. return in August.

Former Van Halen bandmates Sammy Hagar and Alex Van Halen have not been on speaking terms for 21 years, and in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Hagar speculates that jealousy might be behind the drummer's ongoing rift. Hagar recently released a single inspired by a dream about Eddie Van Halen called “Encore, Thank You, Goodnight,” and is set to kick off a Las Vegas residency with his all-star band, which features Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, along with Joe Satriani and Kenny Aronoff. “I think Al’s angry because I’m out doing it, and Mike and I are out doing it, and he can’t,” said Hagar. “He’s not a singer. He’s not a guitar player. He is not really a band leader. And he seems like he doesn’t want to play drums or can’t play drums anymore, and he can’t go write a new record.” Hagar maintains that he is keeping the Van Halen legacy alive through his performances, while acknowledging Alex's health issues and Eddie's passing as contributing factors to their ongoing feud.

John 5 is getting set to open his personal Kiss museum in May, which will showcase over 2,500 Kiss memorabilia items, such as Gene Simmons' last known boots from the Destroyer era and his iconic '74 tour outfit. The display – which John has dubbed The Knights In Satan’s Service Museum – will offer tours that will be headed by the Mötley Crüe guitarist himself, with the collection reflecting his lifelong passion for accumulating and documenting Kiss history, including tickets, records, magazines, and exclusive memorabilia. "It's taken an absolute lifetime to do this," John says of his project. "I started collecting when I was a kid, but when I decided to do a museum, it's taken a couple of years, just putting it together. It's a lot of work and it's been overwhelming, but I'm really happy." Amidst preparations for the museum opening, he is also gearing up for the release of a new John 5 and the Creatures album, Deviant, in October, along with upcoming tour commitments with both the Creatures and Mötley Crüe, who launch their Las Vegas residency in September.

Kiss drummer Peter Criss has announced the upcoming release of his new solo album this fall, marking his first record since 2007's One for All. “I want to let the Kiss Army and all my rock fans know that my new ‘rock’ album will be coming out this fall,” Criss shared with Rolling Stone. “I’ve got some really great players on it: Michael McLaughlin, John 5 on lead and rhythm guitar, Billy Sheehan, Piggy D [Matt Montgomery] on bass, and Paul Shaffer on B3 and piano. I am on vocals, drums and percussion.” Criss co-produced the album with Barry Pointer, with the drummer adding about the project, “I had an absolute blast doing this album, and everyone was so much fun to work with — they were just amazing.” Criss was the original drummer of Kiss, and co-wrote and sang their 1976 worldwide hit “Beth.” He left the group in 1982 and released several solo records before reuniting with Kiss in 1996,  before ultimately departing again in 2004.
