“This shit right here is a dream come true,” gushes Chris Motionless. King Goth even smiles a big, sweet, grateful grin as he says it. Motionless In White are no strangers to Rockville, but tonight is a spoopy celebration for King Goth and co. “This is the first time we’ve played in the dark… where we feel at home.” Today’s storm-related show stop has been a drag for many. For the Pennsylvania poltergeists, though, it’s not been all bad luck, as they’ve ended up with a later, and thus even more nocturnal, stage time than originally planned. Second only to…

For our next AUK mini-gig, they kindly agreed to share some of their latest songs with our readers and viewers. Since appearing on our radar last year in this interview, they have made a proper first album following a series of singles and an EP. “We made the record the way we play best – together, in the same space, feeling every note in real time. We wanted to capture the electricity of live performance: the breath between words, the imperfections that make a…
The Woodstock festival held in 1969 at Yasgur’s farm, Bethel, New York, is one of those truly emblematic moments in the history of contemporary music, and indeed in the birth of americana. And of course it’s spawned a truly great song – Joni Mitchell’s composition of the same name. She was not performing there herself: legend tells us that her then manager thought her time would be best spent with an appearance on the Dick Cavett show but, having been in a relationship with Graham Nash, who performed at the festival, Mitchell was inspired to write her homage to the…

The passing of few rock stars had such a profound effect on metal as that of Lemmy. When the Motörhead frontman died in December 2015, the tributes flooded in – not least from the world of extreme metal. In 201X, Metal Hammer spoke to the leading lights of that scene to find out just how Lemmy shaped extremity. Look back at the state of rock and heavy metal prior to the emergence of Motörhead in the late 70s and it becomes clear just how much the band really changed things. If Black Sabbath laid the foundations for the entire metal…
“Heeyyyy!” howls Dave Grohl, igniting pent up frustration with feral intensity. “You had to wait all night for this shit, and we’ve got to squeeze in 31 years to this fuckin’ set. Are you ready?!” Damn right, Rockville is ready. After severe thunderstorms saw the festival site evacuated for a couple of hours, leading some acts to cancel altogether, the Foo Fighters frontman leads his band on as the unyielding hero, ready to save the day at the literal eleventh hour. Opening with a cover of Late!’s Winnebago, the first song Foos ever jammed together, isn’t the barn-burning beginning most…

Brooklyn-born artist Ari Abdul returns with Ego, a propulsive new single that pushes her dark alt-pop language into heavier industrial and rock-edged territory. Released via Slumbo Labs/RCA Records, the track pulls distorted production, driving momentum, and Abdul’s hypnotic vocal tone into a tight pressure system. The sound is visceral without losing control: hard edges, shadowy atmosphere, and a hook built to sit under the skin.At its core, Ego sits inside the ugly emotional mechanics of watching someone move on. The pain is not only love. It is pride, jealousy, resentment, and the quiet violence of feeling replaced. Ari explains:‘Ego’ is…
