Rush are hitting the road again. This is their first tour in over 11 years since the loss of legend Neil Peart. Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson are back live for the Fifty Something tour in 2026. But man, I’ve got conflicted feels doing this without Neil Peart. To me, he was the best drummer ever, irreplaceable in every sense. Seeing Rush perform without him
 feels bittersweet.

Still, there’s something powerful in Lee & Lifeson keeping the legacy alive. They’ve announced German drumming prodigy Anika Nilles will take up the sticks for the tour, stepping into a role no one expected to ever be filled. If this run delivers even 60% of the magic Rush had, it’ll be something special, even with the absence.

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong - Live at Lincoln Theatre | 10.04.25

If you’ve ever caught a Pigeons Playing Ping Pong show, you already know the vibe. It’s not just a concert, it’s a full-body experience built on groove, smiles, and pure musical energy. The Baltimore-based funk-jam powerhouse has been melting faces and lifting spirits for over a decade, with frontman Greg Ormont leading the charge alongside Jeremy Schon (guitar), Ben Carrey (bass), and Alex Petropulos (drums).

Known for their explosive live sets and loyal “Flock” of fans, Pigeons shows are a mix of psychedelic funk, tight improvisation, and that weird, wonderful energy that keeps people dancing until the lights come up.

And timing could not be better, their brand new album Feed The Fire dropped just yesterday. It’s packed with slick grooves, layered harmonies, and that trademark positive chaos that defines everything they do. Expect a full dose of new material at the Lincoln, where the crowd’s energy and the band’s chemistry will meet head-on.

đŸ”„ Funk. Flow. Flock. Raleigh, get ready to feed the fire.

“Faetooth are bending doom into something strange and spellbound, heavy riffs wrapped in folklore, shadows, and a kind of fairy-doom haze that drags you deep into their world.

Their latest studio release "Labyrinthine" feels like wandering through twisted forests, where every chord hits like stone walls closing in and every melody whispers like a ghost at your back.

It’s not just doom, it’s an atmosphere, raw, otherworldly, and crushing all at once. Faetooth are carving out their own corner of the heavy scene, and it’s impossible to ignore.

Lamb of God are back with “Sepsis”, their first non-collab original since Omens and it’s a brutal homage to where they came from: Richmond’s underground. Heavy, nostalgic, and built from the bones of their past, “Sepsis” feels like a love letter to the basement bands that shaped them. Don’t sleep on this one, it’s a reminder of why LOG still fu***ng matters.

đŸ”„ BRING ME THE HORIZON – ASCENSION PROGRAM TOUR đŸ”„

Raleigh got baptized in chaos as BMTH stormed the Lenovo Center with a setlist stacked for both diehards and new recruits. From the crushing weight of “DarkSide” and “MANTRA” to the sing-along madness of “Happy Song” and “Teardrops,” Oli Sykes and crew had the place shaking.

They dug deep with “Sleepwalking” (tour debut!), threw curveballs like an Oasis cover of “Wonderwall,” and hit with nuclear force on “Kingslayer.” The encore? A jaw-dropping live debut of “Dig It” before closing with anthems “Drown” and “Throne.”

With support from Motionless In White, The Plot In You, and Amira Elfeky, this wasn’t just a show — it was an ascension. Raleigh leveled up. ⚡

Even in Greensboro: The Gate City opens it's doors to Sleep Token's Even In Arcadia Tour.

Sleep Token turned Greensboro’s First Horizon Coliseum into something bigger than a venue, a cathedral of sound, a ritual, a full-on worship. 20,000 voices screamed, swayed, and sang in unison.

Victim 2: OUT NOW!

Following up the Victim trilogy, Victim 2 takes the killer’s tale from righteous vigilante to someone spiraling into his own heartlessness. In the first chapter, he justified his actions by hunting monstrous criminals. Now, he’s addicted to the thrill of murder, haunted by consequences, and slipping fully into the abyss.

Frontman Waylon Reavis describes it as the “devil on your shoulder” – those violent thoughts and urges every person wrestles with. Musically, the album smashes brutal heaviness against genre-bending experimentation, reflecting a descent into chaos. It’s horror, humanity, and heaviness woven together.

Track-by-Track Review:
Hopeless Gray – A bleak, suffocating opener that sets the tone of despair. It’s the sound of the killer realizing his so-called mission is rotting from within.

In Case Of Emergency (feat. J.Mann) – With Mushroomhead’s J.Mann guesting, this one hits like a panic attack — chaotic, unhinged, and drenched in menace.

Hollow – A mid-tempo crusher that strips away humanity, exposing the emptiness driving his violence. Dark melody meets pounding heaviness.

Facts – Snarling and confrontational, this track digs into ugly truths, where justification starts to blur with obsession.

Heart-Shaped Box – A haunting Nirvana cover that becomes the turning point: the killer finally recognizes his heartlessness and surrender to the dark side.

Headstone – Funeral march riffs meet venomous vocals — a reminder that every kill leaves a grave, literal and metaphorical.

Baptized By The Fire – Flames of rage and self-righteousness consume him here. It’s ritualistic, punishing, and addictive in its fury.

Darkside – The descent is complete. This track pulls no punches, diving headfirst into the shadows with no return.

The Suffering – Groovy yet sinister, it reflects the pain he inflicts outward and the torment creeping inward.

Endless Silence – A chilling calm after the storm, this piece feels like suffocating guilt dressed in atmospheric weight.

Hand of God – The finale crashes down with judgment and damnation — the killer realizes too late that he’s become the very evil he swore to destroy.

⚡ SHOW REVIEW IS LIVE ⚡

Raleigh got crushed under the weight of King Parrot’s chaos, Amon Amarth’s Viking conquest, and the unstoppable return of Pantera. đŸ€˜ This wasn’t just another stop on tour — it was a war cry, a brotherhood, and a night carved in steel.

From “Cowboys From Hell” to the final blast of “F**king Hostile,” the set was a living tribute — for Vinnie, for Dime, for the fans who never let Pantera’s fire die. Every riff, every roar, every raised horn carried their legacy.

Better Lovers – “Don’t Forget to Say Please” (Out Now)

Holy. S**t. Better Lovers just dropped their new single “Don’t Forget to Say Please” ahead of their highly anticipated fall headlining tour, and it’s everything we wanted and more. If Highly Irresponsible was the spark, this is the gasoline.

That calm before the storm breakdown at 2:17? My compliments to the chefs — that’s how you cook chaos into perfection. The track feels like the natural continuation of their first EP but sharper, nastier, and more unhinged. It’s Greg Puciato’s venom over Will Putney’s riff surgery with Dillinger-esque unpredictability and Every Time I Die swagger bleeding through every second.

This band isn’t just carrying the torch — they’re torching the whole fu***ng stage. Get ready, because the fall tour is going to be mayhem.
