During a recent interview on Lon Helton's Country Countdown USA, Cody Johnson revealed that he and his wife Brandi welcomed their third child and first son, Jaycee Daniel Johnson, on October 21, joining their daughters Clara Mae (10), and Cori (8). Johnson admitted that at this point in his life, he is "a lot better off now as far as career and financially, than I was when we had [our daughters]," teasing that Jaycee is "gonna get a horse a little quicker than my kids did. He's going to get to do some things a little quicker than my daughters did." Despite recently canceling the remainder of his 2025 tour dates due to a ruptured eardrum that required surgery, Johnson is nominated in four categories at the upcoming CMA Awards. Johnson is up for the night's most prestigious award, Entertainer of the Year, and Male Vocalist of the Year, as well as Music Video and Musical Event of the Year for "I'm Gonna Love You" with Carrie Underwood. 

Slayer are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their landmark 1985 album, Hell Awaits, with special reissues set for release on May 15 via Metal Blade Records. The reissue options include an eye-catching $189 limited edition 2-LP blood-filled vinyl pressing (appropriately only 666 copies were pressed), a $124.99 box set featuring a Fire Splatter vinyl, a previously unreleased 1985 live album, and extensive memorabilia, and a more affordable $84.99 CD Earbook edition that includes all the audio from the vinyl box set along with a 60-page book and poster. "It's the record where Slayer became Slayer," guitarist Kerry King said in a press release, adding that, "[guitarist] Jeff [Hanneman] and I were still trying to figure out who we were as musicians" while admitting that "we were both infatuated with Mercyful Fate's Melissa album during the writing process for Hell Awaits." While the blood-filled vinyl edition is already sold-out, pre-orders for the box sets are available from Metal Blade Records' merch store. 

Questlove, drummer for The Roots and longtime D'Angelo collaborator, has confirmed that a posthumous album from the late R&B singer is forthcoming. While making an appearance on the red carpet before the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Questlove was asked if there were any unreleased tracks in D'Angelo's vault. "You'll see soon," he responded, while adding that the unheard material is "always the sound of yesterday, but for the future. This record is no different." D'Angelo's unreleased project includes tracks reportedly developed with collaborators like Raphael Saadiq, who back in 2024 teased that one of the songs they were working on was an old track from their short-lived group with A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip. "I think it's going to be a record on D'Angelo's new album when it comes out, a record that we all did together," Saadiq said at the time. D'Angelo died from pancreatic cancer on October 14 at the age of 51. 

On Thursday (November 13), Charli XCX shared details of her new album, Wuthering Heights, which is set for release on February 13 via Atlantic. The 12-track project, created primarily with producer Finn Keane, is inspired by director Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Emily Bront 's beloved 1847 novel, and serves as the soundtrack for the movie, which fittingly opens in theaters on Valentine's Day (February 14). "This collection of songs is an album, and sure, my name's on the credits, but is it a Charli xcx album?," she wrote on Substack. "I don't even know. Nor do I really care to find out. All I know is that it's a celebration of my freedom as an artist right now." Charli also shared a new song from the album, "Chains of Love," which also soundtracks the film's official trailer. The album draws inspiration from The Velvet Underground's aesthetic of creating music that is both "elegant and brutal," and opens with the newly released collaboration, "House," with VU co-founder John Cale. 

David Coverdale, Whitesnake frontman and former Deep Purple vocalist, has officially announced his retirement after a more than 50-year career. In a heartfelt Instagram video shared on Thursday (November 13), Coverdale explained that recent years have made it clear it's time to "hang up my rock 'n' roll platform shoes and my skintight jeans," with the singer thanking fans, musicians, and crew for their continuous support.  The 74-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer rose to fame with Whitesnake's 1987 hits like "Here I Go Again" and "Is This Love," after leading Deep Purple through the mid-70s, eventually collaborating with legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for a short-lived project in 1993. Whitesnake continued touring and recording into the 2010s, with their final album, Flesh & Blood, released in 2019, followed by a final show in 2022, though the singer's health issues curtailed a longer farewell tour. With Coverdale's retirement official, former band members now perform as Whitesnake Experience, providing fans a glimpse of the band's legacy. 

AC/DC's opening night of their Power Up Tour at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Wednesday (November 12) was so electrifying that earthquake equipment two miles away detected ground vibrations equivalent to low-frequency seismic waves. "The sound waves that people were experiencing nearby and feeling something through their bodies, that's the equivalent to what our seismographs feel," said Adam Pascale, chief scientist at the Seismology Research Centre, who clarified, "We're picking up the ground motion, we're not picking up the sound from the air." According to the Centre, the ground movement was caused by both powerful speakers on the floor of the venue and the energetic crowd jumping up and down. While AC/DC made their presence felt in their return home to Australia for the first time in a decade, it wasn't as intense as Taylor Swift's recent Eras Tour shows at the same venue, which generated the largest signals ever received by the Centre for a concert. AC/DC's Power Up Tour continues with upcoming dates in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane. 

The Weeknd has contributed $350,000 to help Jamaica recover from Hurricane Melissa, which struck in late October. The funds come from his XO Humanitarian Fund and will assist over 220,000 Jamaicans through the World Food Programme. Hurricane Melissa affected six million people across Caribbean islands, with Jamaica bearing significant damage. World Food Program USA President and CEO Barron Segar stated: "We are grateful to The Weeknd for his generous support for WFP's urgent relief efforts. His compassion will provide much needed comfort and resilience to Jamaicans as they navigate this crisis." The WFP has distributed emergency food to 254,000 people across Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti. The Weeknd launched the XO Humanitarian Fund in 2022, raising over $6.5 million from his After Hours Til Dawn Tour to combat global hunger crises. 

The rising force in metalcore, Breathe In, released their electrifying new single "Misfortune's Hand". Bridging the ferocity of American metalcore with the cinematic precision of Japanese metal and visual kei, the track delivers an immersive and sonically devastating experience that defines the band's signature Visual Metalcore sound.
 
With "Misfortune's Hand," Breathe In channels the intensity of Bad Omens and Orbit Culture, the visual grandeur of Black Veil Brides, and the artistic flair of Japanese legends The GazettE and Hyde. The result is a track that's both crushing and theatrical.
 
Brian Kang shares, "For me, 'Misfortune's Hand' represents the continuation and confidence of our new/current lineup. Our last single was a reintroduction of our band (we went through a lineup change prior). This one is about carrying the baton forward. We wanted something instrumentally and lyrically intense to showcase our accelerating momentum."
 
The music video, available on YouTube, was directed by the band's drummer, Paul Illge Jr. His in-house production crew, who have collectively worked across the film industry with various professional credits, serve as the creative backbone behind all of Breathe In's visual projects. The video was shot in Brooklyn, NY, bringing the band's artistic vision to life

German heavy/power metal force SKULL & CROSSBONES celebrate the release of their new studio album "Time", out today via Massacre Records (Digipak CD and Ltd. Vinyl LP).

To mark the occasion, the band present the new single "Passing Hours" - a reflective yet empowering anthem urging listeners to live in the here and now instead of dwelling in the past or worrying about the future.
"'Passing Hours' is about embracing the present moment," explains vocalist Tobias H bner. "Time always moves on - you can't change what's gone or control what's ahead, but you can live fully right now. That's what this song stands for."
"Time" dives deep into the human relationship with mortality, meaning, and the passage of existence. From the frustration of lost moments in "Time Thief " to the search for enlightenment in "Eye Of Wisdom", the album balances power and introspection across ten tracks filled with striking melodies, twin-guitar leads, and commanding vocals.
Produced by the band together with Marc Ayerle, who also handled mixing and mastering at KlangMAnufaktur, "Time" captures SKULL & CROSSBONES at their most mature and confident stage yet. The artwork was created by Michael Vetter, while additional keyboard arrangements on "Thunderstorm" and "The Ocean's Call" were provided by Tobias H bner.
With "Time", SKULL & CROSSBONES deliver a timeless statement of strength, melody, and emotion - an album that bridges classic heavy/power metal roots with modern dynamics, taking listeners on a journey through the fleeting yet powerful moments that define life itself

Selling over 22 million units worldwide, they have notched multiplatinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for a total of 12 singles and four full-length albums.
