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.

Drag queen's boyfriend sentenced for Milpitas murder
(KRON) — A Milpitas man who murdered his girlfriend, drag queen Natalia Smut, was sentenced to serve 15-years-to-life in prison. Elijah Cruz Segura, 26, was sentenced by Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Hanley Chew on Monday. The case is believed to be the first prosecution of a transgender domestic violence homicide in Santa Clara County history, prosecutors said. District Attorney Jeff Rosen said, 'We should never forget that a vulnerable member of our community was abused and killed. A sentence, long or short, does not erase that. I urge anyone in an abusive relationship to seek help. You will find resources and respect in our county.' Smut was a 24-year-old transgender woman. Segura and Smut dated for several months leading up to the killing on April 23, 2021, prosecutors said. Trial for Maddy Middleton's killer nears end in Santa Cruz Just before 2:30 a.m. that morning, Segura called 911 and police officers responded to a motel on Hillview Court in Milpitas. Officers found Segura at the scene with blood on his hands, and discovered Smut had been stabbed multiple times. She died at a hospital. The DA's office wrote, 'Natalia was a celebrated drag queen, and her killing caused pain and shockwaves throughout the Bay Area community.' A GoFundMe page for the victim's memorial states, 'Everywhere she went, she brought energy, fierce looks, and a personality that shined bright like a diamond.' Following a trial, jurors found Segura guilty of murder on October 16, 2024. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
