After releasing their second album, "Transparency", last week, the members of "Revision The Dream" release a new video today for "Heart".

He is a musician in his own right, even if his father is a legend, and this week he releases his second album!! Wolfgang Van Halen releases "Mammoth II", which, judging by the first single, sounds even stronger and more powerful than the debut.

But this album has something even more special: Wolfgang decided to take his father's Frankenstein guitar and Marshall amplifier out of the vault and use them in the recording. It is not only about the sound, but the playing style too. Listen for yourselves: Spotify.

Israeli progressive/alternative-metal band "Pangea 2.0" releases a new single, "Singularity", from an album it is recording right now.

This is the first single from the band's new lineup, ahead of a five-track album.

The song is about the search for new life across the universe and human existence.

The lineup is finalized for "Fogo 4 Dogs", the fundraising festival for Gilboa Animal Rescue, and it is a lineup worth cutting out and saving for the history books. We do not know about you, but we are excited to see HaYehudim, the band we grew up on and our very definition of Israeli rock, on the same poster as so many huge, talented metal bands we love.

For us, this is a must-attend event: a chance to support man's best friend and show Israel's biggest rock band what an amazing metal crowd we have!!!

You are not confused. You read that right: "Nickelback" is releasing a documentary, "Hate to Love: Nickelback". The trailer has arrived ahead of its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this September. Directed by Leigh Brooks, who has several documentaries to his name, the film explores Nickelback's small farming-town roots, musical ambitions and worldwide success, as well as the hatred that grew as they became rock superstars.

Do you know "The Linda Lindas"? How could you not? We have played them on our show... Now they have a new single, "Resolution/Revolution". It was partly inspired by guitarist Bela Salazar listening to classic metal bands, including Pantera and Judas Priest, when she started writing it. She brought the song's bouncy riff into the studio, and the rest is history...

Not one, but two! "The Hives" release two new songs ahead of their first album in more than a decade, "The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons", due August 11. The Swedish legends unveil the lively "Trapdoor Solution" and "The Bomb". Well, "songs" is a relative term: "Trapdoor Solution" is only one minute and three seconds long!!!
