THE ROLLING STONES have released their new single "Jealous Lover" alongside a music video directed by Chris Barrett and Luke Taylor (RADIOHEAD, Jack White) and starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Charles Melton. The single is the latest to be unveiled from their forthcoming studio album "Foreign Tongues", due for release on July 10 via Capitol Records. Music. The video is available to watch exclusively on Amazon Music here.

"Jealous Lover" comes with another track from "Foreign Tongues", "Divine Intervention", which is one of two tracks from the album to feature THE CURE frontman Robert Smith.

As anticipation for the album continues to build, "Jealous Lover" offers another compelling example of the band's remarkable ability to move effortlessly between musical styles. Following the upbeat pop-rock energy of previous single "In The Stars", the new track embraces a soulful R&B groove, anchored by a captivating falsetto lead vocal from Mick Jagger.

Drawing on the band's lifelong connection with rhythm and blues, "Jealous Lover" combines infectious melodies, rich musicianship and sharp lyrical observations. Jagger delivers a pointed warning to an over-inquisitive lover, bringing humor, attitude and vivid imagery to the song's narrative.

The track is powered by expressive guitar work from Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, whose subtle interplay drives the song's melodic character. The rhythm section of Darryl Jones on bass and Steve Jordan on drums and percussion provides a deep and assured groove, while longtime friend and collaborator Steve Winwood adds distinctive Rhodes and organ textures. Additional instrumentation from producer Andrew Watt and keyboardist Matt Clifford further enhances the song's warm, soulful sound.

"Jealous Lover" highlights the chemistry and creativity that continue to define THE ROLLING STONES more than six decades into their career, blending classic influences with a fresh and contemporary approach.

Recorded during an exceptionally creative period, "Foreign Tongues" was brought to life in under a month at Metropolis Studios in West London, with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood reuniting with Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt, who also helmed "Hackney Diamonds". The result is a dynamic and forward-looking record that captures the band's unmistakable sound while pushing into new sonic and lyrical territory, further cementing their unparalleled legacy.

"Foreign Tongues" will be available on a wide range of formats, including CD, deluxe CD editions, cassette, multiple vinyl variants (standard and limited colour pressings),exclusive retailer editions, and special box sets, alongside the single "In The Stars" on CD and vinyl formats.

Episode 1 of THE ROLLING STONES podcast "Speaking In Tongues" is released today via all major podcast platforms. Over six episodes, "Speaking In Tongues" takes listeners inside the studio on an intimate and exclusive journey tracing the story of the inspiration, writing and recording of the new album. Starting in the wake of the band's 2023 universally acclaimed Grammy Award-winning "Hackney Diamonds", Mick, Keith and Ronnie will reflect on their songwriting process, studio techniques and the creative influences and collaborators that shaped "Foreign Tongues". Alongside the band, the podcast also features contributions from producer Andrew Watt and THE CURE's Robert Smith and Steve Winwood (who both appear on the new album) and the record's cover artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn. The series is presented by lifelong STONES fan (and sometime collaborator) Norah Jones.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will release its tenth studio album, "Legacy" later this summer. The digital version arrives July 31 while the CD, vinyl, and cassette versions will land on September 18.

"Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and Legacy is exactly what the title suggests," declares FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory. "It's a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we've experienced over the last two decades."

He furthers: "What makes that journey meaningful is that we didn't make it alone. We traveled this road alongside millions of fans around the world and somehow became part of each other's lives. That's an incredible thing to reflect on twenty years later."

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH vocalist Ivan Moody states: "At the same time, 'Legacy' isn't about looking backward. 20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We're incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH while also pointing toward where we're headed next."

He finishes: "Our philosophy has always been that this journey doesn't come with a self-imposed ceiling. Every goal we've reached simply revealed another horizon beyond it. We never believed the sky was the limit; if anything, it's where the true journey begins. Here's to our shared legacy."

The brand new song "De Oppresso Liber" is out now. Listen to the track below.

"'De Oppresso Liber' is more than just a motto," states Bathory. "It's a calling. It's a philosophy. It represents a willingness to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves. Throughout human history, there have always been people who were drawn to accept that responsibility. This song is our way of paying respect to that mindset."

The first single from the album released just last month, "Eye Of The Storm", is Top 5 at rock radio this week and has already generated over 3.9 million Spotify streams and 1.6 million YouTube views on the official lyric video. Revolver hailed it as "huge," going on to praise how "it mixes a flurry of battering metal chugs with a sense of melody, plus Ivan Moody's pensive-but-barked lyrics hinting at fears, regrets, burdens, blame, and the search for some kind of inner peace." Loudwire raved: "The song is a driving, furious banger that kicks off what's expected to be a new album cycle in grand fashion."

"Legacy" track listing:

01. Legacy
02. De Oppresso Liber

04. Nails In The Coffin

This summer, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH will embark on the first leg of the 20th-anniversary world tour which will take the band all across North America with special guest Cody Jinks and EVA UNDER FIRE before hitting arenas in Europe with LAMB OF GOD and BLEED FROM WITHIN in early 2027.

The 20th-anniversary world tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album, "The Way Of The Fist", in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and No. 1 hits that defined the past two decades.

Produced by Live Nation, the 48-city North American tour kicks off on July 20 at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey and wraps up on October 23 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour's commitment to championing America's next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's 2027 European tour leg with LAMB OF GOD and BLEED FROM WITHIN will kick off in the U.K. in Manchester on January 16 and will see the band perform in 21 cities across the continent, ending in Helsinki on February 22.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's current albums, "Best Of - Volume 1" and "Best Of - Volume 2", feature newly re-recorded versions of the band's biggest hits, including the No. 1 single "I Refuse" featuring IN THIS MOMENT's Maria Brink ("Volume 1") and No. 1 single "The End" featuring BABYMETAL ("Volume 2"). "The End" reached No. 1 on the Japanese iTunes Metal chart and No. 18 on the Japanese all-genres chart, marking a major milestone for an international rock release. In the U.S., the song made history as the first track featuring Japanese lyrics to chart at rock radio, ultimately reaching No. 1. Both albums were created in response to the sale of the band's original masters, a decision made without FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's knowledge or opportunity to reclaim them.

Having assembled one of the most ambitious gatherings of heavy metal royalty ever gathered for a single recording project, William Shatner is now exploring the possibility of taking his heavy metal album to the stage for a live event unlike anything audiences have seen before.

Part concert, part theatrical experience, and part celebration of heavy metal's enduring power and legacy, the proposed production would transform Shatner's star-studded recording project into an immersive live spectacle combining legendary musicians, cinematic visuals, storytelling, and the larger-than-life charisma that has made Shatner a global icon for more than six decades.

Adding fuel to the growing excitement surrounding the project is the recent participation of Mikkey Dee, the legendary drummer who served as the driving force and rhythmic pulse of MOTÖRHEAD for more than 35 years before joining SCORPIONS. Dee recently completed drum tracks for Shatner's explosive version of the JUDAS PRIEST classic "Living After Midnight", bringing his trademark thunder and precision to the album.

"I needed pounding beats to make the music feel the way I feel it," says William Shatner. "The drums drive the emotion. They create the urgency, the excitement, the danger. Heavy metal should hit you in the chest and move your soul at the same time."

Other featured drummers on the project include Dave Lombardo (SLAYER, MISFITS),Chris Adler (MEGADETH),Vinny Appice (BLACK SABBATH),Carmine Appice (VANILLA FUDGE, CACTUS),Kenny Aronoff (Steve Vai),Simon Wright (AC/DC, UFO),Bobby Rondinelli (BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, QUIET RIOT),Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Joe Lynn Turner),Steve Zing (DANZIG, SAMHAIN, MOURNING NOISE) and Fred Aching (KINGS OF THRASH, NUCLEAR MESSIAH, FRAXURES).

The possibility of a live production has become increasingly compelling as the recordings continue to exceed expectations. Early discussions envision a unique multimedia event where Shatner's dramatic storytelling and unmistakable voice are paired with the raw power of a live metal band, massive visual production, and a celebration of the songs and artists that helped shape heavy music.

Should the production move forward, it promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime event — an unforgettable collision of heavy metal power, theatrical imagination, and the boundless creative spirit of William Shatner.

Behind the boards, Shatner's new heavy metal project is being driven by a heavyweight production team led by Adam Hamilton (L.A. GUNS, BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE) and Brian Perera, president of Cleopatra Records, with additional production from Derek Hughes, Marcus Nand and Jürgen Engler of DIE KRUPPS.

For Shatner, this is not a novelty move — it is a full-scale artistic statement. At 95, he is leaning into the power, danger and drama of heavy music with the same sense of commitment and conviction that has defined his career across film, television, spoken word and music.

This album finds him channeling something raw and primal: the shock of volume, the force of rhythm and the emotional charge that made heavy music a permanent cultural force.

Shatner is also setting out to do something virtually unprecedented — uniting an all-time cast of rock and metal superstars for a single album built on ambition, scale and genuine musical chemistry. The result is a project designed not just to surprise listeners, but to hit with real authority.

Fueled by massive musicianship and a shared appetite for sonic risk, the album blends Shatner's commanding vocal presence with the crushing energy of top-tier players and producers who understand how to make heavy music feel cinematic, physical and alive. It reaches back to the spirit of the era when music felt dangerous and larger than life, while pushing forward with a modern intensity all its own.

Shatner has said he feels this music in his bones — as something shattering, youthful and alive — reconnecting him with the visceral thrill of a time when things got truly heavy. That spirit runs through the entire project, which aims to deliver not just star power, but impact.

With additional guest appearances still under wraps, the album is quickly emerging as a major crossover moment: part metal event record, part artistic left turn, and entirely unmistakable in its vision.

More details, including the album title, release date, and additional featured artists, will be announced soon.

William Shatner has cultivated a career spanning over 70 years as an award-winning actor, director, producer, writer, recording artist, and horseman. He is one of Hollywood's most recognizable figures and a major philanthropist.

In 1966, Shatner originated the role of Captain James T. Kirk in the television series "Star Trek". The series spawned a feature film franchise where Shatner returned as Captain Kirk in seven of the "Star Trek" movies, one of which he directed.

Shatner played the title role in the hit television series "T.J. Hooker" before hosting television's first reality-based series, "Rescue 911".

He won Emmys and his first Golden Globe for his portrayal of eccentric lawyer Denny Crane on both "The Practice" and "Boston Legal". He received four more Emmy nominations as well as other Golden Globe and SAG Award nods.

Shatner's love of music inspired him to record the critically acclaimed album "Has Been". The Milwaukee Ballet performed "Common People", a dance presentation set to several numbers from the record; the event and its preparations are featured in the documentary "Gonzo Ballet", which played to sold-out houses at film festivals worldwide.

In September 2021, Shatner released the autobiographical album titled "Bill" with tracks featuring Joe Jonas, Brad Paisley and Joe Walsh, to name a few. In October 2020, "The Blues" album quickly reached No. 1 on Billbord's Blues chart. Shatner previously released the country music album "Why Not Me", in August 2018 with Jeff Cook and Heartland Records. Quickly following that, Shatner experienced much success with "Shatner Clause", a holiday album released in October 2018 which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard chart.

Off the screen and broadcast waves, Shatner has authored nearly 30 best-sellers in both the fiction and non-fiction genres. His autobiography, "Up Till Now", was a New York Times best-seller and was followed by "Shatner Rules", which was released in October 2011. William Shatner's book "Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship With A Remarkable Man", was released in February 2016, appearing on the New York Times bestseller list. Shatner's released "Live Long And…What I Might Have Learned Along The Way" in September 2018 and "Boldly Go", a fascinating and timely collection of essays in which Shatner reflects on key events from his 90-years of life, was released in October 2022.

In April 2011, Shatner launched his hugely popular one-man show, "Shatner's World", on Broadway. He toured in Australia and New Zealand, followed by tours in Canada and over 50 cities in the United States.

Shatner has been successful in another area — horse breeding. A longtime dedicated breeder of American Quarter horses, he has had enormous success with the American Saddlebred, developing and riding world champions and has won numerous world championships in several equine events. His passions for horses and philanthropy were united when he started the Hollywood Charity Horse Show, which benefits Los Angeles-based children's charities.

Shatner continues to act, write, produce and direct while still making time to work with charities and further his passion in equestrian sports. He lives in Los Angeles, California.

In a new interview with Scott Itter of Dr. Music, Kelly Keagy, the drummer, co-lead vocalist and co-founder of long-running rock band NIGHT RANGER, was asked if he has ever thought about writing an autobiography. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Yes. I'm definitely thinking about doing that, because… Somebody brought it up to me maybe six months ago. My niece, who's writing my brother's — her father's — memoirs. So my older brother Jim, his daughter is doing that, Karen Shaver, and she was doing that for him. And then she said, 'Did you ever think about doing that?' And I said, 'Well, why don't we do one about the family?' And so that was when I started to think about, yeah, man, how things happened with me, when I was seven or eight years old, playing with the neighborhood kids, and how that came about. And then junior high, high school. There were all these events that happened that were incredibly… So it was, like, I started to back into it and go, 'Man, that would be incredible, that would just be incredible to do that.' So I'm definitely thinking about doing it."

Keagy started out his career as a drummer, but over the years gained experience in many aspects of the music business. The day after Kelly graduated high school, he packed his bags and left home to pursue being a full-time drummer. After years of playing the club circuit, he became the touring drummer for the San Francisco band RUBICON. Along with fellow members Jack Blades and Brad Gillis, he formed the band NIGHT RANGER in 1979. They became one of the most popular mainstream hard rock bands of the mid-1980s. NIGHT RANGER's first album, "Dawn Patrol", released in 1982, reached No. 38 on the U.S. chart and sold over one million copies. Yet it was 1983's "Midnight Madness" that established the band as a commercial force. Featuring the hits "(You Can Still) Rock In America" and "Sister Christian", the record peaked at No. 15 and sold over two million copies. The 1985 album "7 Wishes" was even more successful, reaching No. 10 on the charts and selling over three million copies. Their most recent studio release, "ATBPO", came out in 2021.

NIGHT RANGER will release "Best Of" on August 28 via Frontiers Music Srl. The LP features newly remixed and remastered versions of classic hits spanning NIGHT RANGER's illustrious career, alongside some standout tracks from the band's more recent releases.

Few bands have defined the sound of American melodic rock quite like NIGHT RANGER. From the soaring anthem of "Sister Christian" to the thunderous riffs of "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" and fan favorites like "You Can Still) Rock In America", "Best Of" captures the very essence of their decades-long career — now refreshed for 2026.

"Best Of" also features two bonus tracks that make this collection of songs truly special: a fresh take on "Wasted Time" recorded live off the floor at Sweetwater Studios, also accompanied by an exclusive music video, and a festive live performance of "Feliz Navidad" that showcases the band's playful side.

NIGHT RANGER's current lineup consists of Jack Blades (bass and vocals),Kelly Keagy (drums and vocals),Brad Gillis (guitars),Eric Levy (keyboards) and Keri Kelli (guitars).

ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante will sit out nearly a dozen of the band's shows in Europe in the next couple of weeks after injuring his right hand. Filling in for Charlie is acclaimed U.K.-based session drummer Darby Todd, who previously sat behind the kit for ANTHRAX's May 23 concert at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens (OAKA) in Athens, Greece as the support act for IRON MAIDEN.

On Saturday (June 20),Charlie took to his social media to write: "An Ouch post.

"I wanted to let everyone know that I unfortunately injured my right hand and, following my doctor's orders, I'll be sitting out a handful of shows from June 20 through July 4 to give it the proper time to heal.

"I'm incredibly grateful that Darby Todd will be stepping in behind the kit for these dates and helping keep the shows rolling while I recover.

I'm already focused on getting healthy and look forward to being back on the road soon. Thank you all for the support and understanding."

Professionally filmed video of ANTHRAX's June 20 concert at Hellfest in Clisson, France — featuring Darby on the drums — can be seen below.

Charlie was apparently unable to make the Athens gig due to his touring commitments with PANTERA, which played a show in Frankfurt, Germany on May 24 as the support act for METALLICA.

In addition to touring the world with Devin Townsend, Darby has played with THE DARKNESS, Martin Barre, Alan Price, Gary Moore, Kee Marcello (EUROPE),Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW),Carl Verheyen, Robert Plant, Robben Ford, Paul Gilbert and many others. Darby is as comfortable playing jazz in a small jazz club as he is playing rock in an arena.

When not touring, Darby can found in his London-based studio remote recording for artists and bands around the world as well as doing a limited amount of teaching. He holds both U.K. and USA passports, which makes working in America simple.

ANTHRAX will release its long-awaited twelfth full-length studio album, "Cursum Perficio", on September 18 via Megaforce in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast in Europe. It marks the band's first record in ten years since 2016's "For All Kings", which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Benante joined ANTHRAX in 1983, prior to the recording of the band's debut album, "Fistful Of Metal", and has been the band's drummer ever since. He is known for having a very fast double-kick technique and his work with the 1980s hardcore/metal project STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH (S.O.D.) is credited with having set the template for extreme metal and hardcore blast beats. He is also an accomplished guitarist, having written the majority of the music for ANTHRAX. Along with his musician duties, Benante is a graphic artist and has created many of ANTHRAX's album covers and T-shirt designs.
