System Of A Down, Incubus, Korn, Evanescence and Deftones will headline Sick New World Festival, a new music festival in 2023 featuring some of the biggest names in nu-metal. Among the dozens of bands on the bill, it will mark the reunions of both Flyleaf with lacey Sturm and Coal Chamber. The event will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2023 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds in Las Vegas, Nevada. This was the site of the recent When We Were Young Festival, that was forced to cancel one day of the fest due to high winds.
Sad news on the Festival and Convention front as the long-running Rock and Shock Festival in Worcester, Massachusetts has disbanded after 15 years. The announcement was made in a post to social media about the festival canceling all further festivals. The fest paired the best Horror convention and concert series in the USA and made use of both the famous Worcester Palladium venue and the convention center at the DCU Center up the block. Ghost Cult covered many Rock N Shock fests which featured incredible conventions, horror celebrities, amazing vendors , indie films, headliners such as Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, Disturbed, Danzig (including a pre-reunion Misfits headline set with Doyle), ICP, Ministry, GWAR, King Diamond, Type O Negative, Lordi, Disturbed, Mushroomhead, Voivod, Amorphis, Twiztid, Dark Tranquility, Hatebreed, Devildriver, Motionless In White, Death Grips, Superjoint, Wednesday 13, Sabaton, Prong, Witch Mountain, Sanctuary, Soilwork, OTEP, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Cavalera, Conspiracy, Anthrax, Overkill, Misfits, and more!Continue reading →

Death Grips have released a 14 track “instrumental full length soundtrack” titled Fashion Week, available to stream on YouTube and download here.
A set of instrumentals purporting to be by Death Grips were shared on Reddit four months ago, but were soon dismissed as fake.
The titles of the 14 Fashion Week tracks each consist of an individual letter. In sequence, they spell out the phrase “Jenny Death When”. ‘Jenny Death’ is believed to be the second part of forthcoming double album The Powers That B which, it was revealed in October 2014, is now complete.
The rap group announced the news on Facebook, writing:
“Our new double album “The Powers That B” is now complete. This is the album cover. Digital and physical release dates coming soon.” It has since been reported that the album will be released in February in certain territories.
‘Niggas On The Moon’, the first part of the double LP, was released digitally last year. A track from ‘Jenny Death’, ‘Inanimate Sensation’, was unveiled in December – click below to listen.
