Europe's founder/guitarist and solo artist, JOHN NORUM, has signed a record deal with Frontiers Music Srl. He will shortly enter the studio to record his tenth solo album, marking an exciting new chapter in his career.
His distinctive singing and guitar playing style, characterized by melodic solos with a characteristic writing style, highlights his ability to balance bluesy influences with classic hard rock. His virtuosic, soulful, and imaginative playing makes his solo work a rewarding listen for both fans and newcomers.
JOHN NORUM released his first solo album, 'Total Control,' in 1987 and has made nine solo albums in total since then. His latest album, 'Gone To Stay,' came out in 2022.
JOHN has been working with Deep Purple's frontman Glenn Hughes, Don Dokken, and many other top-notch musicians over the past years, so international guest appearances are expected on the forthcoming album. He will play live both as a solo artist and with Europe in 2026. Europe is currently recording its twelfth studio album and planning a "The Final Countdown" 40th anniversary tour.
JOHN expressed his enthusiasm for the signing by saying:
"I'm thrilled to start my new solo project with the great people at Frontiers Music, a label I've known and appreciated for many years, and with whom I'll be working on the release of my 10th solo album. I'm super excited about the new songs, and I can't wait to get into the studio and start recording!"
Aldo Lonobile, Head of A&R Europe at Frontiers Label Group, commented:
"We're excited to welcome John Norum to the Frontiers Records family! An iconic guitarist and a true rock pioneer, John has crafted timeless anthems, and we can't wait to join forces for the next chapter of his career!"
Norwegian-born and adopted by Sweden, John Norum grew up in a strong musical family. At the age of 10, he started learning guitar and, at 12, he founded his first band, Dragonfly. At the age of 14, he was inducted into the professional music world, and he started recording and playing live with Swedish rocker Eddie Meduza.
At 16, he was the guitarist and singer in the band WC with drummer Tony Niemist (aka Tony Reno). Their following project Force, was born when his friend Joakim Larsson (aka Joey Tempest) joined the band as a singer.
JOHN helped the band shape their sound, and with bass player John L ven joining the band, Force became Europe on the Lucia Rock in 1982, a competition for emergent rock bands held by Aftonbladet and Thomas Erdtman. The band won the contest and a contract with Hot Records for the recording of their first album, 'Europe,' which started their worldwide success.
With Europe, JOHN has recorded 9 studio and 5 live albums, toured the world and was awarded several times for best band and best album, as well as for Comeback of the Year in 2015 by Classic Rock Roll of Honour and for Best Hard Rock/Metal album ('Walk The Earth') by Swedish Grammis in 2018, when Europe was also inducted into Swedish Music Hall of Fame.
JOHN's parallel solo projects started in 1987, after taking a break from Europe and moving to the USA, where he lived until Europe's reunion in 2003. In the US, he collaborated with well-known artists such as Glenn Hughes and Don Dokken and played in the American rock group Dokken. Many other collaborations have been counted over the years with artists such as Michael Schenker and Mikkey Dee.
As a solo artist, JOHN counts 9 studio albums, a live album, a studio album with Don Dokken, and one with Dokken. His distinctive singing alongside his guitar playing style that blends classic hard rock, blues, and neo-classical influences, combines powerful riffs and melodic solos, and is widely and consistently appreciated. 
2026 will see the release of his 10th solo album, along with Europe's 12th studio album and a massive world tour to promote his new works and the 40th anniversary of 'The Final Countdown.

In a new interview to promote the upcoming CBS series, The Road, Blake Shelton reveals some of his pre-show rituals, must have requirements backstage, and mistakes that young musicians make during their first time on tour. When discussing the music he listens to before he performs, Shelton admitted, "It depends on what mood I'm in. Last night I was listening to Hank Williams Jr., two nights before that was Conway Twitty." Shelton revealed that his only tour must-have is vodka, while sharing that he likes to listen to country essentials before his shows as he sips on his drink, admitting "that's when I use the vodka." As to his advice to tour rookies, Shelton joked, "You never poop on the bus. Then your poop is just driving down the highway with you." The Road, which Shelton stars in alongside Keith Urban and Gretchen Wilson, premieres on Sunday (October 19) on CBS at 9 PM ET/PT. 

Nicki Minaj has announced that she is canceling her planned sixth studio album, which was originally set to be released on March 27, 2026. The rapper wrote on X on Wednesday (October 15), "Ok I'm not going to put out the album anymore. No more music," and she tagged Jay-Z with the message, "Hope you're happy now." Minaj then said farewell to her fans by adding, "Bye, Barbz. Love you for life." In previous posts, Minaj alluded to conflicts with industry figures and her record label, suggesting attempts to block her success. She also referenced tensions with Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez amid ongoing public disputes, including a legal ruling against her and her husband. Despite her announcement, fans on social media remain skeptical of Minaj's claim that she's done releasing music, while they patiently await the eventual follow-up to 2023's Pink Friday 2

Today, the UK metal band CAGE FIGHT - Rachel Aspe (vocals), James Monteith(guitar), Nick Plews (drums) and Will Horsman (bass) - have released their new single, "PIG." On "PIG," Rachel calls out the creepy men who send women unsolicited messages online. The accompanying music video includes real messages sent directly to Rachel and to other women that volunteered the inclusion of their experiences. 
Vocalist Rachel Aspe comments: 
"'PIG' is the expression of my disgust of men sending unsolicited intimate pictures, messages, crossing boundaries and harassing women digitally. I've had hundreds over the years, and it's crazy to think that everyday women regularly get these messages. I just wanted to scream my hatred to them, raise awareness of the issue and show solidarity to other women who experience this abuse."

The depth and breadth of the issue is harrowing; latest polling from Amnesty International uncovers the shocking forms of online harassment faced by Gen Z women, including: 
• More than half (53%) receive inappropriate emojis (e.g., ????) on their posts and photos
• 44% receiving unsolicited explicit images
• 43% being body-shamed
• 40% subjected to unwanted sexually suggestive comments
• 32% experiencing hate speech
• 27% reporting online stalking
 
For help with digital sexual harassment, people should contact Victim Support (0808 16 89 111), the CEOP Safety Centre (to report abuse and get advice), Childline (0800 1111) for under-18s, or the police if there is immediate danger (call 999). They can also report directly to the social media platform or use the Report Harmful Content service to report abuse across different platforms

German metalcore act Rising Insane return with the video for their new single "Error" (Feat. Bleed From Within's Steven Jones). 
The track is a relentless look in the mirror of one's inner turmoil. It's a song that transforms self-doubt, inner emptiness, and longing for healing into pure energy. While Rising Insane remain true to their post-hardcore and metalcore roots, the band has evolved, both collectively and individually, which is clearly reflected in their new and fresh sound.
With over 25 million streams worldwide and top placements on some of the most influential playlists, including Kickass Metal, The Core, and All New Metal, Rising Insane have established quite a buzz. On the back of the single release, Rising Insane will tour with CALLEJON, before closing the year with a sold-out hometown show.

"...plenty of reasons why Rising Insane will continue to be at the forefront of the German hardcore and metalcore scene in the future" - MoreCore
"Rising Insane do not need to hide behind their supposedly overpowering competitors from North America" - Rock Hard
"Passionate and all encompassing" - Powerplay
"Utterly superb" - Metal Manc

Rising metaphysical metalcore powerhouse The Pretty Wild has unleashed their latest offering, "AFTERLIFE (feat. Magnolia Park)" and the accompanying visualizer (via Sumerian Records). The track can be found in the band's forthcoming full-length 'zero.point.genesis', out Friday, November 21. Other tracks on the album include previously released bangers "PARADOX", "OMENS", "Button Eyes", "living ded", and the smash-hit "sLeepwALKeR" (as a physical bonus track). The songs so far have amassed over 23 million streams on Spotify alone and 3 million views on YouTube and counting. Speaking about today's drop, the band commented:
"'AFTERLIFE' circles the idea of star-crossed souls bound by something ancient and unbreakable. Conceptually it's plucked from the kind of love you find in mythology and old tragedies, where you have this obsessive devotion and destruction. It isn't perfect, but it's dark, beautiful, and eternal." -jules 
"'AFTERLIFE' explores the idea that love dynamics are rooted in codependent magnetism and resonance patterns. it asks, what happens when obsession doesn't end with death, but carries ur soul into magnetizing eternal dynamics? the result is kinda tragic and romantically glitchy. it's basically a pop-metal requiem." -jyl

Danzig's first four albums have been officially reissued on vinyl for the first time since their original releases. The records are being offered via Universal Music, which acquired Danzig's catalog in 2007.

Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante and singer Carla Harvey tied the knot in a star-studded Las Vegas wedding on Sunday (October 12) that was officiated by KISS legend Gene Simmons. The ceremony was attended by fellow rock icons from Anthrax, Pantera, M tley Cr e, Dream Theater, and Nickelback. After dating for several years, the couple got engaged after Benante proposed at a U2 Sphere concert in 2024, and they celebrated their marriage with a reception described by Benante as "an elegant Russ Meyer movie with a rock and roll twist." The newlywed's first dance was to U2's "All I Want Is You," with Benante later taking part in an all-star jam session featuring his Anthrax bandmates Scott Ian and Frank Bello, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Zach Throne (Jerry Cantrell's band), and Chris Jericho (Fozzy). Despite their recent nuptials, they both plan to quickly return to work, developing new material for Carla's band The Violent Hour and finalizing a new Anthrax album
