Weekly news roundup for the week beginning December 11, 2022
The band "Walkways" returns for a full headline show after six months, with a special set and plenty of energy from its successful summer tour of Germany. The wonderful SaffeK opens the evening at Tel Aviv's Gagarin club on Saturday, December 24.
The band "The Fading" makes a killer comeback!!!
After returning with a wild new single, the band announces a comeback show on February 4, 2023 at Gagarin in Tel Aviv, with leading Israeli metal acts Ferium, DPS, Her Last Sight and more guests.
The members of "Sinnery" say they are incredibly excited, and we believe them!!
A wild celebration for the new album "Black Bile", with a special launch show at the Barby on Saturday night, February 11, 2023! Two impressive bands will join them, so this promises to be an unforgettable evening!!
An amazing new song from "Winery Dogs", the formidable supergroup of guitarist/singer Richie Kotzen, bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Mike Portnoy. We skipped a heartbeat, thinking "Xanadu" might cover the immortal Rush song, but no. This is a new song that Portnoy calls one of the fiercest on the band's forthcoming album "III", due on February 3, 2023. At the end, you can hear him throw down his sticks, not in frustration but in sheer satisfaction with what the trio has just done.
A new single from Iggy Pop featuring Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer. "Strung Out Johnny" is the second single from "Every Loser", due on January 6, 2023. The album has guests including Stone Gossard, Josh Klinghoffer, Taylor Hawkins, Travis Barker, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, Dave Navarro. Iggy is also set to support Red Hot Chili Peppers at several shows on their 2023 tour.
Exciting news!!!!! "Guns N' Roses" could return to Israel. The rock veterans are reportedly in advanced talks for a summer show at Hayarkon Park. They have performed in Israel three times, so this would be their fourth visit. Fingers crossed!!!
After three years of hard work behind the scenes, "Serpentale" has released two new songs, with three more on the way. About two months ago came its debut, "Battlefield", followed a few days ago by its first video, "Epiphany Star". The emerging Israeli melodic metalcore band includes Andrey Simanovski (clean vocals), Anton Feldman (rhythm guitar and growls), Rafael Meissonnier (lead guitar), Alexander Piyavsky (keyboards), Alex Zvulun (bass) and Dror Moskovich (drums).
The musician we call "the chameleon", Mike Patton returned to the stage with Mr. Bungle on December 8, his first live show since early 2020. In September 2021, Patton disclosed mental-health struggles, leading Faith No More and Mr. Bungle to cancel planned tours. He later discussed a diagnosis of agoraphobia amid pandemic isolation and his struggle with alcohol. We wish him well and are glad to see him performing again, without assuming a return to the stage means every difficulty is behind him.

Rage Against The Machine bassist Tim Commerford revealed this week that he has been dealing with prostate cancer. In an interview, Tim said his prostate was removed two months before Rage's summer tour. He described the experience as brutal and had kept the diagnosis private from most people.
His family and bandmates already knew; the wider public is now learning what he has been going through.
