New Music/Video

Comeback Kid - Disruption https://youtu.be/N8yel9QHRJc new Trouble EP to release March 15. Still SOLID hardcore!

Kittie - the Morgan sisters are releasing their first new music in 13 years. The song “Eyes Wide Open” … eh…

High on Fire - Burning Down https://youtu.be/MJ9yIWBb4pY New record (Cometh the Storm) due out April 19 from MNRK Heavy. Produced by Kurt Ballou. LOVE Matt Pike’s tone SO MUCH! This video is your worst AI nightmare. A bit indulgent, as should be expected, with 2 solo sections.

Harper - I Hope You Choke https://youtu.be/d8hNH7S5mt4 another original it would seem. Production is always solid here. Great to see the younger generation getting into the metal!

The Holy Ghost Tabernacle Choir - Brightly Lit for Bad Decisions https://youtu.be/BUHDQd-IKPc VERY interesting. A little avant garde with your metal.

Crosses - Big Youth (Feat El-P) https://youtu.be/FgvrTHh_0Ck the more I hear of these guys the more I like them!!

Superhero Fatigue - Madame Web finishes its first 6 days at $20M. Estimated $80M - $100M shooting budget. Does that mean “Superhero Fatigue?” THR and Forbes are pushing that narrative, but Deadpool & Wolverine got the MOST VIEWS in 24 hours of any movie. Its not “Lady Superheroes” that fans have an issue with either, Morbius anyone? Also, there aren’t even SUPERHEROES IN Madame Web.

Fantastic Four - Ebon Moss-Bacrach - Ben Grimm Joseph Quinn (Eddie Munson in Stranger Things) - Johnny Storm, Vanessa Kirby - Sue Storm and Pedro Pascal - Reed Richards.

Suggests

Henry Cavill - Said to have signed with Marvel. Presumably putting to bed the speculation that he would be playing Dr Doom in the Fantastic Four movie. Likely NOT Captain Britain.

Metroid Prime 4 - Said to be releasing THIS YEAR?

Mandalorian: The Game - Respawn Entertainment is said to be working on an FPS for the IP. The rumor goes on to say that the game is “at least” 2 years out.

MK1 - 20(!!!) DLC characters total (NOT kameos). KP1 = 6, KP2 = 6 (3 MK, 3 guest) Story DLC = 3, plus 5 more.

Beetles - 4 BIO PICS? All intertwined.
