The Rockin' Roundtable

Monday, May 18, 2026
The metal internet did NOT sleep this weekend — Sonic Temple wrapped, 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡 dropped a sunrise label bomb, and apparently yesterday was the day every rock legend decided to talk about their health on the record. 🩻⚰️
Buckle in, headbangers — the last 24 hours did NOT let up, and yes, we've got receipts (and a few opinions) for all of it. 🤘
🔥 𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒 (𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟒 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬):

💿 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇 announced today (Blabbermouth, May 18) that Massacre Records is handling the worldwide physical edition of "𝐈, 𝐒𝐜𝐯𝐥𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐫" — 8 previously unreleased tracks dropping September 4. Pre-orders + cover art go live June 1. 🦂
🎤 𝐃𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐑𝐘 brought 𝐋𝐳𝐳𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐞 (𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐌) onstage at Sonic Temple Friday for a live take on Journey's "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" — fan footage hit Blabbermouth yesterday. Chris ALSO joined Shinedown for "Monsters" later that night. Man's everywhere. 🎙️
⚡ 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇 dropped new single "𝐄𝐲𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦" — Blabbermouth coverage hit yesterday — previewing the soundtracky follow-up to 2022's "AfterLife." 🌀
🪰 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐎𝐁 𝐙𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐄 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐘 𝐃. (currently 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧's guitarist) launched a new project called 𝐆𝐀𝐁𝐈 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐋𝐘 (Blabbermouth, May 17). Because one cult-metal day job is for cowards.
🏥 𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 (𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐞 / 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐰) told Ultimate Classic Rock he's pulling back on touring due to vertigo + travel anxiety, hoping to keep future Blackmore's Night gigs within a 30–40 mile radius of his Long Island home (Blabbermouth, May 17). 🎻
🚫 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐌𝐄𝐒 once again ruled out a 𝐖.𝐀.𝐒.𝐏. reunion: "I'd be an idiot to go back." His May 2026 UK/Scandinavia tour also got canceled due to a minor prostate issue (Blabbermouth, May 17). 🤐
🖤 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 guitarist 𝐁𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐲 told the Joel Martin Mastery Podcast that 𝐖𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐍 might be cooking new material: "Carly was just here… we recorded." (Blabbermouth, May 17). 👀
🦅 𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐀𝐗's 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭 𝐈𝐚𝐧 didn't pull punches in a fresh "𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐨" album-preview interview, ripping the current US administration on child safety and citing the new record's lyrics as cathartic rage (Blabbermouth, May 17). 🇺🇸
🏟️ 𝐓𝐎𝐎𝐋 closed out 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 last night in Columbus, OH, headlining Sunday after Godsmack and a 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐡 farewell-tour stop. Loudwire's recap "6 Big Things That Happened at Sonic Temple 2026" is live. 🍷
🚀 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐂𝐄 played their second show with new frontwoman 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞-𝐆𝐥𝐮𝐳 (ex-Arch Enemy) at Sonic Temple Sunday, kicking off the 20th anniversary of "𝐈𝐧𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞."
💔 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐎𝐍's 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫 gave a deeper Blabbermouth feature published yesterday paying homage to Chris Cornell and previewing the "emotional" new Mastodon LP, completed without late guitarist Brent Hinds.
🛫 𝐉𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐘's "𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐫" farewell tour added 40 new 2026 North American dates — Blabbermouth coverage from May 17. General on-sale already underway.
👑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐇𝐎's 𝐑𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐘 announced his 2026 US solo tour "𝐀 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭" — a nine-piece-band run hitting Mesa, Vegas, Nashville, NYC + more (Blabbermouth, May 17). 🎤
🌃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐘 are set to play their first NYC show in 17 years to kick off 𝐂𝐁𝐆𝐁 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 weekend on September 25 at Under The K Bridge Park in Brooklyn (Blabbermouth, May 17). 🇬🇧
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 𝐍𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐇's 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐰 publicly praised new singer 𝐆𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢 𝐏𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 in a Blabbermouth piece running today (May 18), calling him "a gift from the gods." 58 years deep and still going.
⚖️ 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐬 published its weekly recap "𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 (𝟓/𝟏𝟏–𝟓/𝟏𝟓)" leading with the arrest of the suspected murderer of 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 vocalist Rodney "Rawn Beauty" Barger — 32 years after the 1993 killing in Detroit. Heavy stuff.
🥁 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐍 single "𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝" got refreshed Blabbermouth coverage today (May 18) confirming new drummer 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐬 (ex-RED/Otherwise) is officially behind the kit moving forward.
🪕 𝐉𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 & 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐃 got refreshed coverage today on Blabbermouth — the ex-Metallica bassist's US tour kicks off July 1 in Northampton, MA, capped by two Ryman shows in Nashville.
🌊 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 confirmed yesterday Australian metalcore unit 𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐑 signed to Rise Records + BMG Australia, dropping new single "𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞" with a Marc Vecchio-directed video.
🪤 Also from Metal Underground (May 17): Florida deathcore band 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐋 signed with 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 and released a video for new single "𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐩."

⏰ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝟐𝟒 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒:

🌑 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐄 headline Washington, DC's 𝟗:𝟑𝟎 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 tonight (May 18) on the "Blue Nowhere" US tour.
🔥 𝐁𝐄𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇's 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐕 tour rolls into 𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐬, 𝐓𝐗 at the 𝐁𝐨𝐦𝐛 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 tonight with Deicide, Rotting Christ + Immolation.

❓ 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘: With 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡 confirming a brand-new 8-track "𝐈, 𝐒𝐜𝐯𝐥𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐫" release for September — what's your most-anticipated rock or metal album for the back half of 2026? Drop it in the comments. 👇

The Rockin' Roundtable

Sunday, May 17, 2026
‎
Good morning you beautiful degenerates, the metal internet is mostly nursing a hangover from Sonic Temple Day 2 but the news machine never sleeps — even when it kind of should. 🤘
‎
Saturday was a slower one as usual (the metal press takes the weekend off and we don't blame them), but Friday dumped enough on us that we've got plenty to chew on, plus Sonic Temple Day 3 is loading up TODAY with Tool at the top of the bill.
‎
‎

ANTHRAX officially dropped new single 🎸 "It's For The Kids" with a music video on Friday, the first taste of their first new album in a decade — Cursum Perficio lands September 18 via Megaforce/Nuclear Blast, mixed at Dave Grohl's Studio 606. Order an exclusive red vinyl variant if you're feeling spicy.
‎
PRO-PAIN dropped sixteenth studio album 🎶 Stone Cold Anger Friday via Napalm Records — the NYHC legends' first new LP in 11 years. ⚒️
‎
BREAKING BENJAMIN frontman Benjamin Burnley confirmed in a new interview that he's still terrified of flying and is literally taking a boat to Europe for the band's June 6 tour kickoff at Rock Im Park. Departing a week early because he hates speed, height and travel. Wrong profession, my dude. ⛴️
‎
SAOSIN's 20th anniversary self-titled tour with Silent Planet, Like Moths To Flames and Save Us went on general sale Friday — the run kicks off October 23.
‎
JOURNEY's 40 new "Final Frontier" farewell tour dates went on general sale Friday at 10AM local — new leg starts Sept. 12 in Los Angeles, wraps Nov. 28 in San Francisco. 🛸

‎
SONIC TEMPLE Day 2 ripped off last night at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH — headliners Shinedown, The Offspring, and Staind anchored the main stage, with Halestorm, Stone Temple Pilots, Simple Plan, Zakk Sabbath, Sublime and Lorna Shore also delivering. Reports out of the field say Lorna Shore are now officially ready for the bigger stages. 🔥
‎
New tracks landed Friday from MADBALL — lead single "Not Your Kingdom" off their upcoming album. Freddy Cricien out here putting "rebellion-as-fashion" on blast.
‎
Prog-metal collective EARTHSIDE dropped instrumental new track "A Dying Star" with an official music video — the band has worked with Lajon Witherspoon and Daniel Tompkins before, but this one's a core-four moment. 🎹
‎
Shadowy metalcore solo act MOTHER debuted with "Unholy" — Bad Omens/Spiritbox-coded, anonymous artist, lyrics about dissociation and borderline personality disorder. One to watch. 🖤
‎
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT singer Eric Bloom remains out following a "non-life-threatening" surgical procedure — Kasim Sulton of Utopia continues to fill in. The band returns to the road TONIGHT.
‎
DROWNING POOL's May 20 South American tour kickoff in Bogotá remains officially canceled — the seven-date run was scrapped due to low ticket sales across all cities. Still no comment from the band themselves. 💀
‎
KORN guitarist Munky Shaffer's interview about the 40-song demo pile for the band's 15th album continues to circulate — picked up everywhere this weekend after Friday's wider syndication. The 2022 Requiem follow-up is still being assembled in real time. 🌽
‎
OZZY OSBOURNE biopic update from Jack Osbourne — likely 2028, director search just starting. 🎬
‎
MÖTLEY CRÜE premium trading card line confirmed for December 2026 in North America. 🃏

JASON NEWSTED continues his Trunk Nation press cycle praising Metallica's upcoming Sphere residency — calls the production "amazing" and says he'd love to see it. 🎤
‎
GLENN HUGHES still confirmed for a one-off May 30 appearance with The Dead Daisies at the Arcada Theatre in Illinois — 50/50 split set of Daisies tracks and Deep Purple classics. 🎸
‎
FURNACE FEST 2026 confirmed for Sloss Furnaces, Birmingham, AL on October 10–11 — Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember leading the bill. 🔨
‎
MOTÖRHEAD's 20th-anniversary expanded edition of Kiss Of Death confirmed for July 3 via BMG. The 2006 LP gets the full anniversary treatment. 🃏
‎
MEGADETH drummer Dirk Verbeuren did a fresh interview about the moment he got the call to join Mustaine's band a decade ago. The farewell tour rolls on. 🥁
‎
TOOL guitarist Adam Jones confirmed Sphere residency planning is officially happening — "We were supposed to open that place." 🎲
‎
🚨 Confirmed for the next 24 hours:
‎
SONIC TEMPLE Day 3 TONIGHT in Columbus, OH — TOOL headlines (yes, really), with Lamb of God, Godsmack, Megadeth (farewell tour), Black Label Society, Avatar, Public Enemy, Amon Amarth, Suicidal Tendencies, In Flames, Thrice, Dethklok and Castle Rat across the five stages. 🎪
‎
BLUE ÖYSTER CULT plays Oroville, CA TONIGHT — first show with Kasim Sulton filling in for Eric Bloom. 🦬

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME roll into Worcester, MA's Palladium TONIGHT on the Blue Nowhere U.S. tour. 🌌

❓ Question of the Day:
Tool headlining Sonic Temple's closing night AND officially confirming a Sphere residency in the same week — are you booking flights to Vegas, or holding out hope for an actual new album first? 🤔
