]]>The post Deep Purple Announce Their Next Studio Album “=1” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>It’s been three years since the release of Deep Purple’s covers album Turning to Crime, and they’ll soon be back with some new material. The band’s next LP will be released on July 19 via earMUSIC, and its title =1 holds a special meaning for the band.
“The enigmatic title =1 symbolizes the idea that in a world growing ever more complex, everything eventually simplifies down to a single, unified essence. Everything equals one,” reads the statement on their official website.
Deep Purple also revealed that their new album “embodies the essence and attitude of their 1970s incarnation possibly more than any other album in recent memory”, adding that the producer Bob Ezrin helped them evoke their classic sound, without relying too much on nostalgia.
Deep Purple are planning to share more info about =1 by the end of the month – the first single and official album teaser will hit the shelves on April 30.

]]>The post Bring Me the Horizon Say It’s Time for Their “New Era” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>It’s been five years since the release of Bring Me the Horizon’s last studio album Amo in 2019, but they followed up its release with Post Human: Survival Horror. This is one of the four projects they wanted to release under the Post Human moniker, and Post Human: Nex Gen will serve as its spiritual successor.
The British band teased its release by sharing a video of a futuristic robot, which ends with a cryptic message – “It’s time for a new era. Initializing NeX GEn.”
“You cling to your virtual identity as if it were your very soul. Pathetic. I’m here to wipe away the detritus of your existence. All these thoughts, these memories, they are but a fleeting echo in an endless void. And just like that, you cease to exist in a digital realm,” says the robot in the video.
Post Human: Nex Gen still doesn’t have an official release date, after being pushed from August 2023 to this year. Bring Me the Horizon released several singles expected to be featured on this album, most recently “Darkside” and “Kool-Aid”.

]]>Rocklahoma welcomed some pretty amazing performers to the Rockin Red Dirt Ranch in Pryor, Oklahoma over the years, and they’ll continue that tradition this summer. The three-day rock festival will run between August 30 and September 1 this time around, and its lineup is as epic as it gets.
The headlining spots have been reserved for Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, and Slipknot, and they’ll be in pretty good company. Evanescence, A Day to Remember, Lamb of God, Skillet, Mastodon, and Halestorm are also among the top-billed artists at this year’s Rocklahoma.
Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale can’t wait to hit the Rocklahoma stage this summer, and she described the iconic festival as “a call to arms, a celebration of not only music but also of our differences and what makes us all the same.”
Anthrax will also perform at Rocklahoma before heading to Europe in the fall, and they’ll be joined by Clutch, Kerry King, Coal Chamber, Bad Wolves, and Kim Dracula, among others.

]]>Sharon shared the news during her spoken-word show on Sunday while also confirming that the shows will take place in Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham, UK.
“He won’t tour again but we are planning on doing two more shows to say goodbye as he feels like, ‘I have never said goodbye to my fans and I want to say goodbye properly,’” Sharon shared.
Osbourne embarked on his farewell tour, titled No More Tours II, back in 2018. After completing the North America and South America legs of the tour, alongside a handful of European dates, Osbourne had to postpone the remaining shows in Europe and the UK due to the COVID-19 pandemic and health issues. The postponed dates were later canceled, with the “Crazy Train” singer announcing his retirement from touring in February 2023.
Osbourne’s most recent show took place at Ozzfest in 2018. Since then, he has only made a handful of guest appearances, including a two-song set on September 2022 at SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, as part of the NFL Kickoff 2022 ceremony.

]]>The post Deftones Almost Changed Their Name to Land a Record Deal appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Record producer Monte Conner recently shared a story on social media about how he tried to sign Deftones while working with Roadrunner Records. According to Conner, the band’s manager sent him their demo, and he was “instantly blown away”. However, he also saw more than a few issues with their name.
Conner explains that the word “def” was too closely associated with legendary producer Rick Rubin and his Def American Recordings. At the time, Rubin made an effort to move away from the word, which became “mainstream,” and even changed the name of his record company to American Recordings.
On the other hand, Conner was concerned that the word “tones” would make the band appear like they were part of the “ska” movement that was on full blast in the 1990s.
Frontman Chino Moreno and the rest of the band were willing to listen to Conner’s suggestions and recommended “Engine No. 9”, the title of one of their early songs, as an alternative. However, the deal with Roadrunner Records never materialized, so the Deftones got to keep their name.
“Six months later, they signed to Maverick Records, releasing ‘Adrenaline’ in 1995, and the rest is history,” Conner added. “Seemingly overnight, the album took off, the band blew up, and every metal fan across the globe was wearing a Deftones T-shirt. I sure felt silly.”

]]>Taylor took to social media to announce the cancelation of his North American tour. He explained that he’s been in a bad place both mentally and physically for the past several months, adding he’s reached a place that’s unhealthy for him and his family.
“I know this decision will come as a shock to some and may be regarded as unpopular by others – but after taking a hard look at where I am and where I was going, I need to pull myself back and be home with my family for the time being,” he wrote on social media.
Taylor took a moment to apologize to his fans and send them his love, adding that everyone who bought tickets and VIP packages would get a full refund.
Despite canceling his solo tour dates, Corey’s upcoming 25th anniversary tour with Slipknot is expected to go on. It includes a series of dates across Europe in December, including concerts in Amsterdam, Paris, Manchester, and London.

]]>The drummer Brad Wilk took to social media to share a message on behalf of the band, revealing they won’t be hitting the road together anytime soon.
“I know a lot of people are waiting for us to announce new tour dates for all the canceled RATM shows. So, while there has been some communication that this may be happening in the future… I want to let you know that RATM (Tim, Zack, Tom, and I) will not be touring or playing live again,” wrote Wilk.
He also took a moment to thank every person who’s ever supported them and apologized to fans who’ve been waiting for the tour to happen. Rage Against the Machine and other individual members are yet to comment on Wilk’s statement about their most recent split.
Seeing RATM take a break from performing doesn’t come as a shocker, since this marks their third farewell, following splits in 2000 and 2011. They also decided to cancel the North American leg of their Public Service Announcement Tour in 2023 due to frontman Zach de la Rocha’s injury.
