Multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans ANTHRAX—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—will unleash their long-awaited 12^th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO September 18 via Megaforce Records. 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. The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,” “My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work.

CURSUM PERFICIO will be available as a standard CD; Target exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover; standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold; Target exclusive double LP, red zoetrope with pop up gatefold; Amazon exclusive double LP, purple zoetrope LP with pop-up gatefold; merch exclusive lilac vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Metal Injection exclusive white vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Talk Shop Live exclusive signed with red ripple vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Indie exclusive – red, orange yellow vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold. To pre-order/pre-save, click HERE.

For CURSUM PERFICIO’s first single and video, “It’s For The Kids,” the quintet bulldoze the way for the album’s impact. It’s a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple.

The band dove into recording CURSUM PERFICIO in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. They carefully pieced together what would be this magnum opus, mining their history with reverence, delivering on fan expectations tenfold, and broadening the scope of their signature sound. Produced by Jay Ruston and ANTHRAX, the result is an album that’s as angry, aggressive, and alive as their most celebrated fare.

“It was quite a journey from the inception of this album to its completion,” Ian says. We were supposed to make this in 2020, but the universe had other plans for everyone. After the Pandemic, we got to be a band again. When we started working on the record, we were just happy to be in a room together. It was so exciting that it was like being reborn in a way. All of that energy and emotion went into the music. The fear of being forced out of our lives and the joy of coming back together are present. The title ‘Cursum Perficio’ feels like ANTHRAX. It resembled what we went through to get to the point of finishing the record.”

“There was an awful lot of growth between Worship Music in 2011 and CURSUM PERFICIO,” Benante elaborated. “This album is a culmination of everything we’ve learned. I was watching a Marilyn Monroe documentary, and I saw ‘Cursum Perficio’ written on a tile in her last home. When I found out what the phrase meant, it immediately clicked with me. We aren’t saying this is our last record, but our journey has come to an end. I believe we’ve completed the task.”

“We had to make Fistful Of Metal and Spreading The Disease to be able to write Among The Living,” Ian goes on. “In the same respect, it took Worship Music and For All Kings for us to be able to write CURSUM PERFICIO. I very much compare this record to Among The Living.”

“We left it all on the table,” agreed Bello. “We really know who we are as ANTHRAX, what turns us on, and what we need to do. I don’t think anybody knows what’s next, but we’re hungrier than ever. From here on out, we’re going to go full throttle for every fucking minute.”

“A friend of mine said, ‘It’s For The Kids’ is a straight-up love letter to your fans,’” Ian says. “That’s exactly what I wanted it to be. The album needed a four-minute thrash song that harkened back to our first era. Whether it’s the aggression or the big chorus, it represents all the best parts of ANTHRAX in a very angry four-minute package. For the video, we wanted to throw back to our ‘Madhouse’ video–thematically it just made sense and this idea opened the door for us to share the experience with our fans. For all of us!”

“The video for ‘It’s For the Kids’ turned out really well,” Benante says. “I don’t necessarily like doing videos and this one had elements of things that I really love. There were fans in it, they showed up, they enjoyed it, it made me enjoy the video just seeing them enjoy it. Hearing the song for the first time, their reaction to it, and just the interaction with them was just great. I think the director did a great job on it. It’s kind of a throwback to our first ever video, ‘Madhouse.’ So I think fans are gonna see it and think ‘oh look at that, I see what they did.’ But yeah, great song and a great video. ‘It’s For the Kids’ is one of the songs that I felt was so strong, and the riff behind it and the rhythm behind it was almost like a tug of war, it’s like a push pull. It has this tension to it where the drums are just playing at a high pace speed, and the guitars are doing pretty much quarter notes with it. And the drums are just going full speed ahead. One of my favorite songs on the record and one of my favorite riffs. I really think this song is a gift to ANTHRAX fans who have been with us throughout the years. This basically is ANTHRAX at its best. Fast paced, thrashing, melodic fucking metal.”

“When I hear certain tracks, I immediately go, ‘I want to do this song. It might have a shot,” Belladonna notes. “Even the first time I started singing a tune like ‘Madhouse,’ I figured it was going to be a strong one. You just know. There’s a lot of variety to each of our records. To me, ‘It’s For The Kids’ is nice, straight-up ANTHRAX. It has a lot of fire and a punch to it. Vocally, it’s really cooking. It was definitely fun to hammer down on this one and put a lot of drive into it.”

Donais adds, “‘It’s For The Kids’ is a right to the point thrasher. It’s fast, aggressive, catchy and definitely going to be a fun one live. I love the ‘madhouse’ inspired throwback vibe of this video. Involving the fans and capturing their reactions to a new song adds some energy that really stands out.”

“I’m psyched for people to hear ‘It’s For The Kids!’ Bello comments. “This is a heavy, driving song with a big hook chorus-a combination of classic ANTHRAX and current- I can’t wait to play it live! Had a (cold!) blast filming the video too. It’s a great, energy packed video with a bunch of amazing ANTHRAX fans having a good time on a freezing day in Pennsylvania. The metal kept us all warm.”

The CURSUM PERFICIO track listing is as follows:

Persistence of Memory
The Long Goodbye
It’s For the Kids
Everybody’s Got A Plan
The Edge Of Perfection
Infectious
NYC93
Cursum Perficio
T.O.M.B
Watch It Go
My Victory

Their journey has brought them to CURSUM PERFICIO—a powerful, pummeling, and poetic milestone in ANTHRAX’s 45-year career.

Netcom Music today (May 14) announces the release of “The Good Years,” an original song composed, arranged, and recorded by the late two-time Grammy-nominated BILL PURSELL. This single from the longtime Nashville session pianist and a member of Nashville’s A-Team of musicians is the first song to be released from his newly remastered album THE GOOD YEARS. Due June 9, it’s a collection of some of Pursell’s favorite songs from the Great American Songbook that was originally recorded at Reflections Studio in Nashville in 1994 and was recently remastered by Stephan Oberhoff at Creation Station East, Nashville. Pursell previously described this track as his “curtain closer to the album and a look back to a long time ago.” “The Good Years” is now available on all streaming platforms. Listen HERE.

Nashville music legend Charlie McCoy, a longtime friend and fellow Nashville A-Team session-musician, shared: “I first met Bill Pursell in the studio back in the early 60’s when he was the new session guy in town. On one of the early sessions, he and I had a nice chat. We learned that we both had the same Solfeggio teacher at two different colleges. Bill became an artist and recorded a huge hit called “Our Winter Love” on Columbia Records. Later, as part of the Belmont University Music School, Bill was one of the main reasons the school became one of the best in the nation. Above all, he was a great friend.”

DEEP PURPLE Release First Single And Video For “Arrogant Boy” From New Album ‘Splat!’

DEEP PURPLE

FOR “ARROGANT BOY”
FROM NEW ALBUM ‘SPLAT!’
OUT JULY 3

Album Cover (download)

DEEP PURPLE have debuted the first single and video for the powerful, fast-paced hard rock tune “Arrogant Boy.” It’s the initial musical statement from SPLAT! the band’s new studio album set for a July 3 release on earMUSIC. The official music video for the track is a live performance clip which premiered last night (May 12) on YouTube. Watch it HERE.

DEEP PURPLE—Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey, and Simon McBride—are currently featured on the cover of Classic Rock Germany, where the magazine highlights “Arrogant Boy” as “an electrifying song in the style of ‘Space Truckin’ or ‘Highway Star,’” adding that it “doesn’t copy these classics; rather, it cleverly varies them.”

“‘Arrogant Boy’ is the story of Billy who couldn’t read or write,” says DEEP PURPLE frontman Gillian. “He is unhappy with things, so he speaks up, and finds a way of irritating, one way or another, the elite. And I can’t think of anything more fun than irritating the elite. It would be a joyous exercise for me every morning after coffee.”

The single arrives one week after DEEP PURPLE announced their new studio album SPLAT! Once again, the band has teamed up with producer Bob Ezrin, continuing a collaboration that has shaped the band’s recent studio albums, all of which reached #1 on the album charts in multiple countries.

On the touring front, DEEP PURPLE have just completed shows in Asia and the band is set to continue touring with a run of European summer dates in June before officially launching the SPLAT! World Tour in North America in August. The upcoming touring schedule includes 86 shows across 28 countries, bringing DEEP PURPLE back to major arenas across Europe in autumn before the year ends with shows in South America in December.

SPLAT! will be released on July 3 on earMUSIC and is available for pre-order in multiple formats including CD, vinyl, and limited editions. Further exclusive fan items are only available on the official SPLAT! shop.

At the heart of SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Ian Gillan. Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation: SPLAT! explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.

ABOUT DEEP PURPLE

There simply aren’t enough superlatives to properly acknowledge the contribution DEEP PURPLE has made to rock music. Having sold more than 120 million albums and filled global arenas for decades, there’s little wonder that the respected British radio station Planet Rock named the group the “5th Most Influential Band Ever.” The band were also presented the “Legend Award” at the 2008 World Music Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016. DEEP PURPLE truly are “rock royalty.”

With a body of work spanning seven decades, DEEP PURPLE have helped pioneer and define the hard rock genre while progressively moving into new areas, both keeping their sound fresh and attracting new fans to the legions who have remained loyal since the band’s inception. The celebrated MKII line-up of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Jon Lord and Ritchie Blackmore was responsible for creating many of the defining rock albums of the early ’70s, including Made in Japan universally accepted as one of the most important and influential live albums of all time.

Known as one of the hardest working bands ever, DEEP PURPLE have continued to release No. 1 albums and tour globally since forming in 1968, with little rest.

DEEP PURPLE have stayed true to their musical roots, drawing from an eclectic mix of styles to create a distinctive sound that defines the band today and, in turn, has created a legacy that very few bands could ever hope to replicate. The band has written and produced so many “classic,” well-known songs that its audience ranges widely in age and background—something the band has readily embraced.

DEEP PURPLE’s recent studio album =1 (2024) followed their worldwide chart-topping albums Whoosh! (2020), inFinite (2017) and NOW What?! (2013). 2026 sees the release of their brand-new album SPLAT! On these albums, DEEP PURPLE joined forces with producer Bob Ezrin, who has worked with the likes of KISS, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed and Alice Cooper.

Furthering their collaboration with Ezrin, in 2021 and during the pandemic the band recorded a collection of cover songs from their own homes (normal for most bands nowadays, revolutionary for a band that records everything together in the studio), creating an eclectic and celebratory history of their roots in music, in the shape of Turning to Crime.

Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey and Simon McBride continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that DEEP PURPLE are very much here to stay.

WORLD TOUR WITH NORTH AMERICAN DATES

HONORING PINK FLOYD’S MOST ICONIC ALBUMS

BRIT FLOYD—”widely recognized as the world’s premiere Pink Floyd experience” (Rolling Stone)—have returned to the road for a new leg of North American dates with its most ambitious production to date: The Moon, The Wall and Beyond tour. Produced by Palladium Entertainment, the dates celebrate 15 years of Brit Floyd (established in 2011), a milestone that underscores the band’s evolution into a global phenomenon, having performed over 1,600 shows worldwide.

2026 marks Brit Floyd’s biggest year ever with the expansive 123-date North American tour that showcases a powerful creative concept celebrating two of Pink Floyd’s most iconic and best-selling albums of all time, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. The dates follow a massive 2025 that saw BRIT FLOYD dazzle audiences across North America, the UK, and Europe. Some highlights along the 2026 tour route include two nights at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado; a return to the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles; and multiple-night engagements in Saratoga, CA; Reno, NV; Milwaukee, WI; Waukegan, IL; Clearwater, FL; Wilmington, NC; Huber Heights, OH.

The Moon, The Wall and Beyond is BRIT FLOYD’s most immersive production to date, combining spectacular laser and lighting design, iconic visuals and inflatables, a massive video screen, and theatrical staging inspired by The Wall. On select nights, audiences will experience full thematic performances, with distinct setlists dedicated to each album—creating two completely different concert experiences within the same tour. The shows will feature selections from Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, including such timeless classics such as “Time,” “Money,” “Comfortably Numb,” and “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2.” Beyond these iconic songs, audiences can also expect a selection of fan favorites from Pink Floyd’s vast discography including tracks from Wish You Were Here to Animals and many more.

Tour highlights include:

14th consecutive year performing at Red Rocks Amphitheatre
First-ever two-night Red Rocks engagement
- Night 1: Best of The Wall + Greatest Hits
- Night 2: The Dark Side of the Moon + Greatest Hits (SOLD OUT)

The dates will also feature a variety of collaborations, including performances alongside Get the Led Out :

August 1 – Saratoga Performing Arts Center (Saratoga Springs, NY)
August 8 – Hartford HealthCare Amphitheatre (Bridgeport, CT)

Additionally, legendary Pink Floyd touring vocalist Machan Taylor will join Brit Floyd for two special guest appearances:

July 10 – Greek Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
July 11 – Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre (San Diego, CA)

“I find this year’s tour rather special for a multitude of reasons,” says BRIT FLOYD creator and Musical Director Damian Darlington of this year’s production. “Not only do we have the privilege of performing one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, Dark Side of the Moon, but we are also able to celebrate the very best of The Wall.”

“On the evenings dedicated to The Wall,” Darlington continues. “We truly go all in on the visuals and theatrics; some have said it almost touches on elements of Broadway theatre, which we feel greatly enhances the storytelling. Ian Cattell delivers a remarkable performance in his portrayal of ‘Pink’s’ progression and transformation through each song, much as one might expect from anyone familiar with The Wall film or those who grew up immersed in the album’s imagery and narrative.”

DEEP PURPLE Announce New Album ‘Splat!’ Out July 3 On earMUSIC

DATE: MAY 6, 2026

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/MARCEE RONDAN, SRO PR

ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM

OUT JULY 3 ON earMUSIC
“MUSIC FOR THE END OF HUMANITY
(…BUT NOT AS GRIM AS IT MAY SEEM)”
PRE-SAVE THE NEW ALBUM HERE

Album Cover

DEEP PURPLE will release their new studio album SPLAT! July 3 on earMUSIC. The band—Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Don Airey, and Simon McBride—has once again teamed up with renowned producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper) and together, they have crafted an album that draws on the sound and attitude that has always set DEEP PURPLE apart from the rest. SPLAT! is the heaviest DEEP PURPLE album in many years, with the band playing together in the studio—the way DEEP PURPLE have always recorded. Pre-order starts today; click HERE.

“I have to say, now we are very much back in with material that is compatible with ‘Highway Star,’ ‘Smoke on the Water,’ and ‘Lazy,’ the dynamics, the balance, and the fun of the music we made from ’69 to ’73,” says frontman Ian Gillan. He adds: “Where we are now with this incarnation of DEEP PURPLE feels very much like a very ‘now’ version of DEEP PURPLE as it was in the seventies.”

At the heart of SPLAT! is an idea conceived by Gillan. Rather than treating the end as destruction, the album imagines it as transformation: SPLAT! explores the end of humanity not in any crude apocalyptic sense but as a metamorphosis beyond physical existence.

Additional details about the album concept will be revealed in the weeks leading up to its July 3 release. New music from SPLAT! is on the way and DEEP PURPLE invite fans to follow the journey at DEEP PURPLE and earMUSIC on socials.

To celebrate the release, DEEP PURPLE will continue their extensive 2026 touring schedule with no fewer than 86 shows across 28 countries on three continents.

With more than 120 million albums sold since forming in 1968, DEEP PURPLE have long secured their place in rock history. Rather than simply preserving their legacy, they continue to extend it, driven by the same spirit that defined their earliest work.

Ian Gillan sums it up: “DEEP PURPLE is in a great place right now.”

BILLY MORRISON Premieres New Short Film “Who The F%@K Is Billy Morrison?” Today

DATE: MAY 6, 2026

BILLY MORRISON
PREMIERES NEW SHORT FILM
“WHO THE F%@K IS BILLY MORRISON?”
TODAY
WATCH IT HERE

NEW SINGLE “BECOMING”
(FEAT. SULLY ERNA & NUNO BETTENCOURT)
TAKING FLIGHT

WATCH THE “BECOMING” VIDEO HERE

Throughout an illustrious career, BILLY MORRISON has played live in front of millions of fans, collaborated with every A-list rockstar under the sun (even notching a #1 single with the late Ozzy Osbourne), sold his paintings in galleries on multiple continents, and logged hundreds of hours on-air as a radio host for SiriusXM.

Still, everybody seemingly wonders, “Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?”

Today (May 6), the British guitarist, singer, and songwriter—joined by a cohort of iconic collaborators and friends—finally answers that question in a new short film titled “Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?” Watch the six-minute documentary HERE.

Directed and edited by Mike Savage, “Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?” tells his story through punchy editing, candid footage, and new interviews with Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, mixer/engineer/producer Barry Pointer, and MORRISON himself.

MORRISON describes himself as a “multidisciplinary creative,” encompassing his “15-year career in the fine art world,” “30-odd-year career in the music business,” and “some successful acting moments.” He holds nothing back either, tracing an often-unbelievable journey from his childhood in the UK to international rock stardom on his own terms.

He observes, “Despite a 15-year drug addiction…40 years later, I have a number one rock song and multiple Top 10 hits, so everything that you see me do now is fueled by a case of, I guess, making up for lost time.”

The visual can barely contain the enthusiasm of its interviewees though.

At the very mention of MORRISON, McKagan beams, “He’s a hell of a guitar player, lives for music,” and B-Real reveals, “He’s thoughtful of everybody on the song and not too many people are thoughtful when they have you on the track.” Pointer marvels at his work ethic, “He’s a hustler, meaning he never slows down.”

After dubbing him “a bionic riff machine,” it’s Jourgensen who puts it best, “There’s a lot more to unwrap in the BILLY MORRISON box than you would think, but mainly he’s just a top shelf human being, so what could possibly go wrong?”

One of the short film’s most tender moments comes as MORRISON recalls his best friend Ozzy’s impact on his life. It was Ozzy who recognized his potential as a fine artist, leading to an unbelievable second act. MORRISON affirms, “He knew I had this in me…Here I am 15 years later.”

It’s just the tip of the iceberg though.

The best way to find out Who the F%@K rock ‘n’ roll’s best kept secret really is will be to take a listen to his upcoming album HOLLOW—due out August 7 via TLG | ZOID/Virgin Music Group.

Last month, MORRISON ignited his next era with the single “Becoming” [feat. Sully Erna of Godsmack & GRAMMY® Award winner Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme]. Beyond picking up a head of steam at DSPs, it has surged at Active Rock Radio, hitting #26 this week on the Billboard chart. Revolver dove into the track headfirst with an extensive feature interview, going on to note that “MORRISON and Fuel member Brett Scallions co-wrote the song before sending it over to Erna, who delivers an impassioned and raspy set of lines. Bettencourt rises to the occasion and rips pure hellfire on his guest solo.”

Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

Two years ago, BILLY MORRISON released THE MORRISON PROJECT via TLG | ZOID/Virgin Music Group. It marked his third solo album (and first since 2015) and produced the #1 Active Rock Song (Mediabase) in America: “Crack Cocaine” featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens and co-written by all three artists. A deluxe edition of the album followed in 2025 and bonus track, “Gods Of Rock and Roll (Orchestral)”—another seismic collaboration with Osbourne and Stevens—landed in the Active Rock Top Ten (Mediabase).

The upcoming HOLLOW will follow the success of 2024’s THE MORRISON PROJECT format with 12 songs, half sung by Morrison and half sung by a handful of MORRISON’s friends. Guests include Dexter Holland, Marilyn Manson, Chuck D, B Real, Duff McKagan, Steve Stevens, DMC, and the above-mentioned Sully Erna and Nuno Bettencourt, among others. “Forgive Me,” “The Tailor,” “No Suspects,” “Another Day,” “Leave No Trace,” and “Becoming” are among the song titles.

Get ready for HOLLOW. No one will forget who the F%@K BILLY MORRISON is after this…

He is also a solo recording artist in his right having released three albums including the successful and acclaimed The Morrison Project in 2024 via TLG | ZOID/Virgin Music Group.
