A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a new prequel to Game of Thrones premiering on HBO on January 18th, 2026, has revealed its first official trailer. The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffery), a lowly hedge knight who happens to be — surprise — very, very tall. He sets out for the town of Ashford and is eventually accompanied by a young boy, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), who becomes his squire. While there, Duncan is put to the test in a tournament, with Prince Aerion Targaryen (Finn bennett) rivaling the hedge knight. The series takes place nearly 100 years before…
There are some creators we celebrate for being able to adapt to a wide variety of genres: Steven Spielberg, Ryan Murphy, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Comedian Tim Robinson, though, seems like he takes the opposite approach — rather than figure out a way to conform his original voice to different genres, he adapts genres to fit the stories he wants to tell. It’s as if Robinson himself is the genre, to which everything else is secondary, leading us to 2025’s Tim Robinson vehicle/bro comedy Friendship, and now Tim Robinson vehicle/conspiracy thriller The Chair Company, prennmiering October 12th on…
Astronoid have announced a new album, Stargod, arriving November 7th. The post-metal group also dropped the lead single “Third Shot.” The track combines the band’s signature spaced-out textures and atmospherics with driving AOR-esque rhythms, prog flourishes, and a decidedly pop element via the melodic, high-register vocals of Brett Boland. “We knew as soon as ‘Third Shot’ was written it would be the first single on the record,” Boland shared in a press relase. “It was the song that solidified the direction of the album. The song is about how much we love what we do, and the lives we have…
Black Label Society have dropped a new song, “Broken and Blind,” a preview of their forthcoming new album scheduled for an early 2026 release. The track is a three-plus-minute stoner rock groover with fiery guitar licks from axeman/singer Zakk Wylde. He commands a strong vocal performance here, as well, hitting some extended notes in the chorus that callback to early Soundgarden, when the grungers dabbled in this type of heavy stoner rock. The rest of BLS provide an airtight pocket for Wylde’s playing, with the lineup rounded out by bassist John DeServio, drummer Jeff Fabb, and rhythm axeman Dario Lorina.…
Considering their intertwined paths and shared prominence in the deep house scene, it was only a matter of time before beatsbyhand and Sio teamed up – and “Trick Me” delivers on that promise. Johannesburg-based producer beatsbyhand has developed a reputation for crafting bass-heavy house music that blends deep house, afro house, and soulful elements. His latest release “Trick Me” serves as a marvelous example of this description as Sio’s rendition of Kelis’ hit is drenched in warmth and emotion. This is complemented by lush synths hovering across the sonic spectrum while the bright bass line in the second half of…
Oasis’ reunion tour appears far from over. While responding to a fan on X/Twitter questioning why 2002’s “The Hindu Times” hasn’t made the setlist, Liam Gallagher cryptically teased another run of dates. “Chill Winston it’s not even HALF TIME yet,” Gallagher replied. “It’s a tour of 2 half’s.” Get Oasis Tickets Here The band is currently gearing up to resume the “Oasis Live ’25” tour in Seoul on October 21st, followed by dates in Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil.

“Encounter” marks the opening to the latest Nuage album Gradient LP – an experimental body of work that presents a bold fusion of IDM, UK garage, and house music in quite a forward-thinking manner. We’ve been following the work of Nuages for a while now, and it’s amazing how he is able to combine a range of influences while retaining his signature aesthetic. What I loved about “Encounter” was how the lush soundscapes seamlessly blend with the organic textures to create a moody vibe that feels both introspective and immersive. The hazy vocals floating across the mix add to this…
Hayley Williams stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday, October 8th to perform “True Believer,” a stirring cut from her recent album, Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. Williams began the performance seated at the piano, but was quickly joined by a full band, including a seven-piece string section. With a powerful chord progression and vocals that rise in intensity, Williams laments the changes she’s seen in Nashville, the rise of megachurches and bigoted Christians, and the way capitalism is responsible for both of these developments. “Act like God ain’t watching/ Kill the soul, turn a profit” she sings in…
Slash has revealed that Guns N’ Roses have “so much material” for their next album, adding that the long-awaited follow-up to Chinese Democracy is “coming.” In a new interview in the December issue of Guitar World, Slash was asked about GN’R’s next album, as he often has been in recent years. “There’s so much material at this point — it’s a matter of having the discipline to sit down and fucking get into it,” the guitarist said, (via a magazine clipping captured on X/Twitter). “But the thing with Guns is, in my experience, you can never plan ahead. You can…
