Blixa Bargeld sings about how hard it is to find enlightenment on “Ist Ist,” the first single from Einstürzende Neubauten’s upcoming double-album, Rampen (Apm: Alien Pop Music). The record is due out April 5.
On the track, Bargeld sings about how he’s visited Niagara Falls, “both great walls,” the end of Europe, and even the other side – but it (whatever “it” is) wasn’t there. The title, in Bargeld’s native German tongue, translates to “is is.” In typical Neubauten mode, the music shudders, wobbles, and turns in...

Back in February, Ozzy Osbourne canceled his 2023 UK/European tour, and essentially retired from touring due to his various health issues. While his touring days may be over, the Prince of Darkness is determined to play more shows, even if it means getting “someone to wheel [him] out there.”
As of now, Ozzy has one gig scheduled, and it’s big one. He’s playing the massive three-day Power Trip concert event (tickets available here) in Indio, California, in October, along with fellow rock and metal icons AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Tool.
The metal legend was interviewed by Tenacious D’s Jack Black and Kyle Gass for the new issue of Metal Hammer, telling the duo he never wants to retire.
“I mean, doing a live show is what I live for,” said Osbourne. “I’ve had to cancel my European tour but I’m determined.

Since 2020, Mimi Webb has been making waves in the Britpop scene. The singer-songwriter from Canterbury, who started writing songs when she was just a teenager, rose to prominence on TikTok after Charlie D’Amelio featured her debut single “Before I Go” in one of her posts. Quickly, Webb gained a following by sharing the reactions of family and friends to her music. She also established herself as a bedroom pop princess with a knack for taking her massive R&b vocals and filtering them through upbeat dance-pop production to craft her soulful sound.

Unhuman begins with title cards proclaiming it ”A Blumhouse Afterschool Special” and “Presented by the Student Teach Division (Std)”. That was the last thing I was expecting from a film by director Marcus Dunstan and his long-time co-writer Patrick Melton. While the three Feast films had their share of humour the duo are better known for more serious fare such as several of the later Saw films as well as The Collector and its sequel, both of which Dunstan also directed.
And it does begin like an Afterschool Special, Ever goes from dealing with her overprotective mother to being picked up by her best friend Tamra (Ali Gallo; Before I Go) who nearly hits Randall on their way to school. But...
