Strahov Stadium has had it all – communist rallies, anti-globalization protests, gymnastics exhibitions, drive-through movies and, now, Ozzfest. The crumbling structure, which stands as the largest stadium in the world per square foot, lent itself well to Ozzy Osbourne and his latest touring comrades, who hit the venue Thursday night for the seventh stop on the metal tour. With their stage parked in the middle of the field, the hard rockers used only half of the 200,000-capacity stadium, carving out an almost cozy cradle for Bohemia’s metalheads within the concrete monolith. While the tour got off to a less-than-grand beginning… Read more »
After releasing their new single “WORLD vs PEACE” earlier this year, Point North has launched the official music video for the new track. “The sentiment behind ‘WORLD {vs} PEACE’ touches on the struggle or the battle that somebody—either you or someone you love—can go through while they’re trying to find their own inner peace,” the band explains in a press release. “It’s almost like a defense mechanism, it’s like you’re so used to these detrimental or traumatic scenarios where inner peace is so unfamiliar that you just naturally want to fight it off.” They continue, “It’s almost like you have… Read more »

Mouth Culture has officially delivered their brand-new single, “Everyday”, as well as the announcement of their forthcoming EP. Whatever The Weather is set to be released on October 4 via InVogue Records. The band notes, “‘Everyday’ is a self-reflective anthem that delves into the entrapment of everyday struggles. Exploring more mature themes around mental health, ‘Everyday’ is probably the most personal and vulnerable song we have ever written. It’s saturated in nostalgia and nods to shoegaze influences which haven’t been acknowledged on prior releases.” In 2023, the trio released their EP Mishaps Of My Mid Twenties, which vocalist Jack Voss… Read more »
