Slipknot Announce 25th Anniversary Edition of Self-Titled Debut Album

July 24, 2025 by Rich Leave a Comment

Slipknot have officially announced that a deluxe reissue of their seminal debut album will be coming this summer, with the album all set for release via Roadrunner Records on September 5th.

The reissue will feature a number of alternate versions and previously unreleased takes, including a demo of Prosthetics that you can check out below.

Slipknot guitarist Jim Root had the following to say about the band’s self-titled debut:

We loved what we did with the first record but we didn’t even know if there was gonna be anything after that… We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours– those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us.

Thrice will release a brand new album via Epitaph Records later this year, with the new album Horizons/West set to serve as a companion piece to 2021s Horizons/East.

Horizons/West will feature a total of eleven tracks, and is currently set for release on October 3rd.

Lead vocalist Dustin Kensrue had the following to say about the upcoming album:

A lot of this record is about parsing reality. We’re constantly being influenced by algorithms, by fear, by our own social echo chambers. Horizons/West tries to pull the curtain back on some of that. We’ve always just followed our curiosity, wherever it leads. We want to keep growing, exploring, and making something that feels honest to who we are right now.

You can check out an official lyric video for their brand new single Gnash below:

Descendents to reissue their seminal debut album ‘Milo Goes To College’

July 22, 2025 by Rich Leave a Comment

Available September 19th on vinyl, CD and cassette; Descendents have teamed up with Org Music in order to bring back their legendary debut album Milo Goes To College.

Originally released in 1982, Milo Goes To College is an absolute classic of the genre, complete with catchy hooks galore in a 22 minute blast of pop punk power.

Having regained the rights to this seminal record originally released on New Alliance and SST Records, the band will now be looking to reissue further foundational albums from their early years, marking the beginning of a project that should surely put a smile on the face of many.

You can pre-order Milo Goes To College from Org Music right now, with an exclusive Punk Note Edition (silver vinyl) available from there, as well as some other more widely available variants.

New Mario Strikers Alternative Out Now… On Xbox?!

January 31, 2025 by Rich Leave a Comment


A new game has appeared on the Xbox store, complete with a rather familiar looking title…

Mariostro Strikers: Soccer League is available now for the mere price of £3.29.

Don’t all dive into the thrilling world of arcade-style soccer with [Your Game Name Here] just yet though… Because even if you do load it up on Xbox, apparently the controls don’t work. 


Which, taking a look through the screenshots, kind of makes sense… Because the Xbox doesn’t actually have a C button… And those appear to be touch screen controls.

So I guess if you’re looking for a Mario Strikers alternative on Xbox? Probably keep looking.

Watch the first ever episode of the Pokémon anime series (Indigo League)

December 7, 2024 by Rich Leave a Comment

Pokémon TV is officially now back, enabling you to watch full episodes of the Pokémon anime series right now, completely for free, over on YouTube.

They’re starting out from the beginning, uploading episodes from the initial Indigo League series (the first episode of which, Pokémon, I Choose You!, can be found embedded above), and presumably, in time, they’ll be working right up to the present day and providing a definitive destination online for you to seek out the entire series.

Things started out a little bit strangely, with the first episode uploaded being Season 1 Episode 5, Showdown in Pewter City, things seem to have switched to a chronological order now, however, and presumably that’s the way that things will remain moving forwards.

What’s your favourite ever season of the Pokémon anime series?

Cult of the Lamb: Hymns of the Unholy now available for Streaming

October 30, 2024 by Rich Leave a Comment

Featuring contributions from the likes of Trivium’s Matt Heafy, Killswitch Engage’s Howard Jones and While She Sleeps’ Sean Long (amongst others), Cult of the Lamb: Hymns of the Unholy is now out and available for download on all major music platforms. A vinyl copy of the album is also now available for pre-order, estimated to be shipping in March 2025.

Matt Heafy, who as well as being the guitarist and lead vocalist of Trivium, can also sometimes be found streaming over on Twitch, had the following to say about the project:

Video games have always been an important part of my life, so it’s been amazing to work with the Massive Monster team and turn Cult of the Lamb’s iconic soundtrack into a metal album. There’s such a natural link between video games, heavy metal and the game’s themes that a collaboration like this just makes sense. I hope fans of the game have as much fun listening to this as I did writing and performing my parts, and I hope the metal community and anyone who might not have played Cult of the Lamb before embraces this as a standalone album and checks out the game!

You can listen to the album in its entirety below:
