While Tron Ares wasn’t a particularly well received film, everyone agreed unanimously that the soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails was astonishing. The track that particularly caught the ear of Deadlynoiz was the cinematic version of ‘As Alive As You Need Me To Be.’ This masterpiece from the first trailer has now been transformed. Deadlynoiz has flipped the track into a vicious dubstep hit that keeps the powerful cinematic energy but has an injection of aggressive synths and thunderous bass. This remix pulls no punches with Deadlynoiz putting his well-developed style on full display. He’s made a song which can only…

But when a violent landslide leaves them stranded on a fragile platform 11,000 feet in the air, the climb…
Is there anything better than cruising down the highway listening to Skynyrd’s “Freebird” or driving through the bustling city on a sunny day to a soundtrack of James Brown and Bobby Byrd? Well, how about fleeing a fleet of police cars and a helicopter while blasting out Jane’s Addiction’s “Been Caught Stealing” as you dodge the long arm of the law after another failed bank heist? When Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released in 2004, it allowed players to experience all this and more thanks to a trailblazing soundtrack that incorporated music from numerous eras and genres, allowing gamers…
Underground artist Draymond returns with new single “iceberb”, a hazy, stripped back rap cut that bridges internet culture with the energy of the underground club scene.Moving between Los Angeles and Tokyo, Draymond draws on Southern melodic rap and the emotional rawness of the SoundCloud era, pairing layered vocals with an Atlanta influenced atmosphere and loose, instinctive delivery. The track was created during an intense month long run with collaborator Scarsbleedpurple, which produced more than 100 songs, with his freestyle verse helping capture the spontaneous feel of “iceberb”.Built from YouTube beats and vocals, the record embraces a deliberately minimal and unpolished…

On July 29, 2026, Universal Studios announced a new haunted house inspired by Ozzy Osbourne for Halloween Horror Nights in both Orlando and Hollywood. The announcement was met with excitement from many Ozzy fans – for them, an opportunity to step inside the mythology of one of metal’s most beloved figures, with an actor-led experience recreating highlights from his musical career, seemed like a dream combo.There was, however, also a little cynicism. For some, the timing felt uncomfortably transactional. Is turning a recently deceased musician into a theme-park attraction simply another way of cashing in on their legacy while the…
Photo credit: Richard ParkinsonOpening for The War and Treaty at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Buddy Miller explained how he came to crash the party and thanked the headliners and support Avery Sunshine for indulging him. Miller had a call from Don Was around ten years ago telling him about a hot new band and as “you always listen to Don Was” he checked them out, loved what he heard, enthused about them to everyone he met and got them a slot in AmericanaFest. Since then, the husband and wife duo (which might be another point of connection for Miller) have gone…
