Slipknot - Clown did an AMA on Reddit. Called Look Outside Your Window a “tiimeless album,” and said “It has to come out. I promise it will come out soon.”

No update on the new single, “Long May You Die.”

He dances around most answers.

Seemed to imply some re-recordings in the future. Though seems more a la Gently vs Killers are Quiet. https://www.reddit.com/r/Slipknot/comments/1dp13zl/this_is_clown_from_slipknot_ask_me_anything/

Capulet Fest - Go watch Tank the Tech’s video. That is all the explanation you need from someone in the business.

Jane Doe - by Converge is another excellent pick. This seminal album in the hardcore scene is known for its ferocious energy, complex compositions, and emotional depth. Songs like "Concubine" and "Heaven in Her Arms" deliver an unrelenting barrage of sound that captures the band's raw intensity and innovative approach to heavy music.

Skydance X Paramount - Skydance Media, founded by David Ellison in 2006, is in discussions to merge with Paramount Pictures' parent company, National Amusements, in a deal that would see Skydance pay $1.75 billion to acquire National Amusements. This potential merger builds on the long history of collaboration between Skydance and Paramount, which includes a five-year co-financing and distribution agreement that started in 2009 and was renewed twice before ending in 2021. Skydance has been expanding its reach in recent years, launching Skydance Television in 2013 and Skydance Animation in 2017, and has also signed a multi-year feature film deal with Apple TV+ and secured a $1 billion credit facility for investments. If the merger is successful, it would create a new entity, "New Paramount," with David Ellison at the helm, marking a significant shift in the entertainment industry landscape.

Additionally, the Premium Bundle now offers fewer tier skips and costs $19.99. Players have widely criticized these changes, calling them the worst decision by EA and Respawn Entertainment.
