A new gathering in the Pacific Northwestern heavy metal community has been unveiled, as the inaugural edition of SOLDIERS OF STEEL FESTIVAL has been confirmed for the first weekend of August in Seattle.
SOLDIERS OF STEEL FESTIVAL is a showcase of American Pacific Northwest traditional heavy metal and adjacent bands old and new. Its maiden edition will feature sets from The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Leather Leone (Chastain set), Q5, Twisted Tower Dire, Danava, Greyhawk, Hammer Head (exclusive first reunion show), Taist Of Iron, and more! The festival is presented by NW MetalFest, NW Metalworx Music, Nameless Grave Records, and BabeFinder General LLC.
Brandon Corsair of Nameless Grave Records and more, one of the co-promoters of the event, states, "We – the NW Metalworx guys, Amy from Solicitor, and myself – felt like the region was really lacking in a suitable heavy metal centered festival post-COVID, with the last I can think of being NW Metalfest II and Eliminator Festival in 2019. We have such a rich scene – both of great modern bands and classic ones that are still active – that a festival like this felt almost like it had to happen, and so, SOLDIERS OF STEEL FESTIVAL was born! We can't wait for everyone to headbang to the lineup that we put together for this first edition of the festival. See you there!"
SOLDIERS OF STEEL FESTIVAL will take place August 1st and 2nd at the Substation in Seattle, Washington. View the full festival lineup below. Tickets are available now at THIS LOCATION.

Alright, you metal deviants! Neeley and Chris are back in the pit, unleashing our brutal opinions on Plush's new track, "Why." With all the drama, members bailing, AI nonsense, and hooking up with David Draiman, we're wondering if this tune is gonna sink 'em or save 'em. Then, we crank up Enuff Z'nuff's new jam, "Heavy Metal," and give props to the always entertaining Chip Z'nuff. Finally, we're tearing into another recycled article about Sebastian Bach getting asked for the millionth time about a Skid Row reunion. Seriously, enough already! This show is packed with raw takes and zero apologies. "Hail and Kill! Fuck You, Pal! Handjob!"

Fans eagerly awaiting new music from The Cult following their 2022 album, Under The Midnight Sun, might want to temper their expectations. Recent comments from guitarist Billy Duffy suggest that while singer Ian Astbury may have hinted at "nearly finished" recordings, the reality is far less concrete. It seems the creative gears are grinding slowly, if at all, leaving a disheartening void for those hoping for a swift follow-up.
Astbury's Hopes vs. Duffy's Reality: A Mismatch of Expectations
When pressed by Marko Syrjala of Chaoszine about new material, Duffy offered a rather deflating response to Astbury's earlier optimism: "Well, Ian says a lot of things. I don't even know if he'd remember saying that. I'm always writing music, but as far as I know, we're not actively engaged in recording anything. That'll happen eventually, but I don't know what made him say that." It's a candid admission that paints a picture of disarray, with the band's own members seemingly out of sync on the status of new ...
