Heavy Song of the Week: Sinsaenum Honor Late Drummer Joey Jordison on 'In Devastation'
The post Heavy Song of the Week: Sinsaenum Honor Late Drummer Joey Jordison on 'In Devastation' appeared first on Consequence.
Blackened death metal supergroup Sinsaenum have returned with their first new music since the passing of late drummer Joey Jordison (best known as the founding drummer of Slipknot).
The band's new single 'In Devastation' — the title track from the group's forthcoming album — also serves as a tribute to Jordison, as well as the late father of guitarist/founder Frédéric Leclercq. As Leclercq explained, the title for the new record is quite literal.
'I was devastated, hence the title of this album,' said Leclercq of Jordison's passing via a press release. 'But we knew we had to carry on. This record is our tribute to my father, to Joey, and to anyone who's ever had to find strength in their darkest moments.'
Andre Joyzi, who previously served as Jordison's tech, has taken over behind the drum kit, rounding out a lineup that features Leclercq and returning members Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Sean Zatorsky (Dååth), Stéphane Buriez (Loudblast), and Heimoth (Seth).
The band's combined talent is a force to be reckoned with, as heard on 'In Devastation,' a crushing and technical extreme metal workout that puts Joyzi's abilities to the test. We'd like to think he would have done Jordison proud with his performance here, pacing one of the more intense metal compositions we've heard so far this year.
Sinsaenum's new album was produced and mixed by German engineer Lasse Lammert and is set to drop August 8th via earMUSIC. Stream 'In Devastation' below.
Robbie Williams – 'Rocket (feat. Tony Iommi)'
Britpop star Robbie Williams tapped one of the UK's greatest guitarists in Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi to assist on his new single 'Rocket.' It makes for a fitting collab, as the song is on the heavier side for the usually pop-centric Williams, who belts out his hooks over a surge of overdriven guitars and a classic Sabbath-esque solo from Iommi.
Smut – 'Touch & Go'
Singer Tay Roebuck of Chicago's Smut said that the band's new song 'Touch & Go' was 'pretty directly inspired by 'Time to Pretend' by MGMT.' However, we can't help but see it as a loose reference to the legendary Chicago label Touch and Go — especially considering Smut's brand of heavy, shoegazing indie rock would have been right at home on that label's roster.
Turnstile – 'LOOK OUT FOR ME'
Turnstile offer up another two-for-one with 'LOOK OUT FOR ME,' their new seven-minute single. The first half acts as its own song, a driving slice of '90s-esque guitar rock — that riff is very Nirvana — and bears similarities to the lead single and title track from their upcoming album NEVER ENOUGH. On the other hand, the second half of the new song eschews rock instrumentation altogether, coasting out on a downtempo electro/trance excursion.

10 more West Virginian books that were turned into movies — Part 2
CLARKSBURG, (WBOY) — Even after our first list of West Virginia authors who had their books turned into movies, there are still more books written by West Virginian authors that weren't included the first time around. So, for anyone looking for a movie to watch or a book to read, here are 10 more adaptations that have roots in West Virginia. Special thanks to the many 12 News readers who contributed to this list — if you know of a book written by a West Virginian that has been adapted to film, you can email the author of this article at sgorski2@ Adapted from the book of the same name, 'The Bridge at Remagen' focuses on a pivotal battle during the tail end of World War II in the spring of 1945, where Allied forces captured one of the last remaining bridges spanning the Rhine River, allowing them to cross into the heart of German territory. Although the book's author, Ken Hechler, was born in New York, he attended Marshall University and lived in Huntington for many years, eventually becoming a West Virginia Congressman in 1959. According to an interview with the National Archives, Hechler was stationed with the First Army in Command of the III Corps at the time of the battle at Remagen, about 10 miles away. As a combat historian, Hechler interviewed many troops involved and published his own book detailing the battle in 1957, which was adapted to film in 1969. Filming for the movie began in 1968 in Czechoslovakia, a country behind the 'Iron Curtain.' According to the American Film Institute (AFI), much of the military equipment seen in the film was loaned by the Austrian and Czech governments, including tanks, explosives, weapons and even Nazi uniforms. Three city squares in the town of Most had already been planned for demolition prior to filming, and their destruction was used in action scenes during production. Ironically, work on the movie was interrupted by the repercussions of the very war it was looking to portray. On Aug. 20, 1968, Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia, causing the film's cast and crew to hastily evacuate to other European countries, leaving behind hundreds of thousands, if not over a million dollars worth of film equipment in Soviet controlled territory. Despite this, some of the film's equipment was eventually recovered, and the world premiere for 'The Bridge at Remagen' was held on June 25, 1968 at the Keith-Albee Theatre in Huntington, West Virginia. According to the AFI, the premiere was attended by Hechler as well as Brig. Gen. (Ret.) William M. Hoge, who commanded the armored division that captured the Remagen Bridge during World War II. While 'Feast of the Seven Fishes' is much better known as a movie, the story originated as a comic strip in November 2005 and was written by Fairmont native Robert Tinnell and illustrated by Alex Saviuk. Both the movie and comic are a distillation of Italian Christmas traditions, particularly in areas like north central West Virginia. The movie was filmed in Fairmont and can be watched on Peacock and Amazon Prime. Feast of the Seven Fishes: How the Marion County holiday movie came to be Pearl S. Buck, who was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia, is a prolific author and the first American woman to win both a Pulitzer and a Nobel prize. Though born in West Virginia, Buck lived in China during her childhood, which she drew on heavily for her later writing. 'The Good Earth' novel was first published in 1931 and tells the story of a Chinese farmer and his wife as their life is uprooted by a flood. The book was critically acclaimed upon release and became one of Buck's best-known works. It was only the first of many books written by the author that would later be adapted to the big screen. Jeannette Walls' memoir 'The Glass Castle' was a #1 New York Times bestseller and tells the true story of Walls' tumultuous and nomadic upbringing, with a large part of the book taking place in West Virginia. The film adaptation of the book was released in 2017, starring Brie Larson as Jeannette Walls, Woody Harrelson as Walls' father Rex, and Naomi Watts as Walls' mother Rose Mary. The movie turned into a moderate box office success with a worldwide gross of around $22M and an estimated budget of $9M according to IMDB. Another best-selling Pearl S. Buck novel that was adapted into a movie, 'Dragon Seed' is also set in China and tells the story of a Chinese village invaded by Japanese soldiers during World War II. The lead role of 'Jade Tan' is played by Katherine Hepburn, who leads the resistance against the Japanese occupation. 'China Sky' is another movie adaptation of a Buck book, and as the title indicates, it too is set in China during World War II. However, according to descriptions of the movie and viewer reviews, 'China Sky' is less about the wider conflict and instead uses it as a backdrop for a love triangle between Dr. Gray Thompson (played by Randolph Scott), Dr. Sara Durand (Ruth Warrick) and Louise Thompson (Ellen Drew). At just one hour and 18 minutes long, 'China Sky' is also the shortest Pearl S. Buck movie by a large margin. 'Blaze' follows the story of Blaze Starr, a burlesque dancer born in Wilsondale, West Virginia, under the name Fannie Belle Fleming, and her controversial love affair with Louisiana governor Earl Long. The movie was adapted from a biography written by Huey Perry, a Mingo County native, and stars Paul Newman as Earl Long and Lolita Davidovich as Blaze Starr. Blaze Star also cameoed in the film and is credited for playing the role 'Lily' on IMDB. Hardcover copies of 'Blaze Starr: My Life as Told to Huey Perry' can still be purchased online today, and Perry even gave a talk on his published works at the West Virginia Archives in 2016. Another Buck book, 'The Big Wave,' focuses on a tidal wave and the lasting impact it has on a coastal Japanese village and the people who live there. Set during the Chinese Civil War in 1949, 'Satan Never Sleeps,' tells the story of two Catholic priests as they are targeted by the local communist party, and stars William Holden, Clifton Webb, and France Nuyen, who plays Siu Lan, a love interest for Holden's character. Starring William Dafoe, 'Pavilion of Women' is another drama romance set in China, adapted from Buck's book of the same name. The movie takes place shortly before the beginning of World War II as a Chinese family comes to grips with changes in tradition and the rise of communism in China. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Oasis Fever Hits Sotheby's: 'Liam + Noel' Portrait Set to Fetch $2 Million USD
Summary With theLive '25tour kicking off next month, it's safe to say:Oasis Feveris back in full swing. Britpop nostalgia is back in the air and theElizabeth Peytondouble-portrait of the Gallagher brothers couldn't have arrived atSotheby'sin better timing. The 1996 painting is among the headlining works at the house's contemporary art auction in London on June 24, expecting to fetch £1.5 – £2 million GBP ($2.03 – $2.71 million USD). Created in the aftermath of their Knebworth Park shows, which made history as the UK's largest live concert,Liam + Noel (Gallagher)was based on a photographer of the brothers taken by Stefan De Batselier just a year before. The painting belongs to a pivotal series within Peyton's oeuvre surrounding the brothers, one of which sold for $4.1 million USD last year. Here we see the two tracksuit-clad brothers in an tight embrace, yet beneath the matching mod cuts, full brows and rosy cheeks is the quiet tension of their professional-private sibling dynamic. 'It is a press image,' Sotheby's specialist Antonia Garnder toldThe Guardian. 'They've got their arms around each other, but you can feel that sort of slight tension within it. It feels so prescient, knowing now how it all ended up' Just as the indie duo soar into pop stardom, so too did Peyton whose soft and moody paintings solidified her title as one of the most defining American portraitists of the era. Known for her portraits of pop icons,Liam + Noel (Gallagher)embodies her ability to rescue pop faces from the oppressive pressure of the spotlight and instead, present them with a tender, raw radiance. The painting will be on view ahead of the auction at Sotheby's London galleries from June 18 through 24. For more information on the upcoming sale, head to the house'swebsite.
