A pair of bands from the late '90s/early 2000s post-grunge and rock scene have returned with new music.

"Wherever You Will Go" band The Calling and "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" rockers Fuel have both released new songs.

The Calling's track is called "Dust," and will appear on the group's upcoming third studio album and their first in 22 years, Before the World Turns to Dust.

"I was initially writing 'Dust' as a timeless love song set in an apocalyptic world—kind of like what ours feels like at the moment—but then the song got a bit deeper," frontman Alex Band says in a statement.

You can watch the "Dust" video on YouTube. Before the World Turns to Dust is due out in the fall.

Fuel's track, meanwhile, is titled "Want It." It's the lead single off the band's upcoming album, Pendulum, which will be released Oct. 30.

"Want It" is accompanied by a lyric video that is now on YouTube.

Pendulum marks Fuel's first record with new singer Aaron Scott. The band's last effort, 2021's Ånomåly, featured vocals by John Corsale, who replaced original frontman Brett Scallions.

Shinedown bassist Eric Bass is stepping away from Shinedown's upcoming tour due to his mental health.

"I had a pretty serious mental health crash, I guess you could say, a few weeks ago," Bass says in a video posted to Facebook on Friday. "I don't really feel it's the wise thing for me to do to go out on tour right now."

"I debated whether or not to make this announcement at all and just not be there and then show back up when it's time," he continues. "But mental health being such a thing that I have championed and the band has championed, I thought that it would be not the best look to maybe seem like I'm ashamed of it."

Bass adds that he's currently in treatment and is feeling better, but he doesn't yet have a timeline for his return. 

"Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later," he says. "But I wanna make sure that I'm safe."

Josh Sturm and Zack Mack will be filling in for Bass during his absence.

Shinedown's tour launches Saturday in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. It supports the band's new album, EI8HT.

The Hu's global outreach continues to grow.

The Mongolian metal outfit arrived in London ahead of their performance at Iron Maiden's Eddfest on Saturday in Knebworth, England. While in the English capital, The Hu performed for the Mongolian ambassador and the U.K. ambassador to Mongolia during an intimate acoustic concert at the Mongolian Embassy in Kensington.

The Hu's London trip also included a visit to the British Army's Household Cavalry, where they were recognized by a lance corporal with the Life Guards Squadron and got to meet Overlord, the squadron's biggest horse.

Along with gallivanting about England, The Hu is preparing to release a new album, Hun, on July 24. It includes the single "Lost Soul," featuring Jonny Hawkins of Nothing More.

Jack White has invited the band Twin Temple to open for one of his upcoming shows after they were dropped from playing country artist Charley Crockett's tour.

Twin Temple, who describe their music as "satanic doo wop," announced on Wednesday that Crockett "has decided to remove Twin Temple from his upcoming shows next week due to our Satanic imagery."

"We are sorry to everyone who was planning to see us," Twin Temple wrote. "We're grateful for your support, not only of Twin Temple, but more importantly of artistic freedom. HAIL SATAN!"

For his part, Crockett told Rolling Stone, "I thought they were like Black Sabbath, but they ain't. Not today, Satan."

White, however, is apparently unfazed by Twin Temple's satanic imagery — after all, he released an album with The White Stripes called Get Behind Me Satan — and asked them to open for his Sept. 29 show in Los Angeles in an Instagram post published Friday.

"Get in front of me Satan!" White wrote.

Twin Temple then responded in the comments, "Unholy hell.... Sir Jack, you have no idea what this means to us."

"We were actually planning on coming to this show," they added. "It would be a most infernal pleasure to play the devils music with you."

White, meanwhile, released a new solo album called Frozen Charlotte on Friday and will launch his U.S. tour Friday night in Washington, D.C.

Skillet has premiered a new single called "Scream."

"I don't think I'm the only one who's noticing the volatility of the world and how social media is a cesspool where people are constantly yelling at each other," frontman John Cooper says of the track. "It's not helping anyone's mental health. In this landscape, it's easy to feel like nothing matters. 'Scream' is about wanting your life to matter when the world feels chaotic and overwhelming."

The "Scream" video is now streaming on YouTube.

"Scream" follows Skillet's 2024 album, Revolution.

Skillet will launch a U.S. tour in September in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the band's 2006 album, Comatose.

Sex Pistols' live album Filthy Lucre Live is getting a special vinyl reissue.

Originally released in July 1996, the album captures the June 23, 1996, reunion of the band's original lineup — Johnny Rotten aka John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock — at Finsbury Park in London. It was the Sex Pistols' first show since breaking up during their 1978 tour of the U.S.

The album features performances of classic Sex Pistol tunes like “Anarchy in the U.K.” and “God Save the Queen."

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band’s reunion, the album is now being reissued as a two-LP red vinyl set on Nov. 20. In addition to the original album, the set will feature a cover of The Stooges' “No Fun” and “Buddies,” described as "a crowd sing-along version of their song 'Bodies.'" The songs previously only appeared as Japanese bonus tracks.

“It was 20 years on from when we initially broke up in ‘78 and it was always a debate that the Pistols couldn’t play,” says guitarist Steve Jones of the performance. “I think Filthy Lucre shows not only that we can play but we are a powerhouse. Long live rock ’n’ roll.”

Drummer Paul Cook adds that the show "was about getting the original lineup behind Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols back together and showing what we could really do. I loved it.”

Filthy Lucre Live Expanded Edition (30 Anniversary) is available for preorder now.

Man! She feels like a Queen of the Stone Age.

Shania Twain has premiered a new song called "Faded Blue Jeans," which features QotSA frontman Josh Homme. 

"A nostalgic, guitar-driven anthem with a rebellious rock-and-blues spirit, 'Faded Blue Jeans' was written solely by Twain and captures the intensity of first love and teenage defiance," a press release reads. "Inspired by one of Twain's own teenage relationships, the song reflects on the unwavering belief that young love could last forever."

It adds, "Homme's unmistakable vocals bring a raw edge to the track."

"Faded Blue Jeans" will appear on Twain's upcoming album, Little Miss Twain, due out July 24.

Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour in Europe playing shows with System of a Down. They'll be touring North America with Foo Fighters beginning in August.

Anthrax has released a new song called "The Edge of Perfection," a track off the band's upcoming album, Cursum Perficio.

According to guitarist Scott Ian, the nearly seven-minute epic lives up to its name.

"It's the apex predator of Anthrax songs," Ian says of "The Edge of Perfection." "I think it's the best song we've ever written and the best thing I've ever been a part of creatively."

You can listen for yourself and watch the accompanying "The Edge of Perfection" video on YouTube.

Cursum Perficio, the 12th Anthrax album and their first in 10 years, drops Sept. 18. It also includes the single "It's For the Kids."

Anthrax will be touring North America with Iron Maiden and Megadeth starting in September.

Cage the Elephant has premiered a new song called "Beaches in Tennessee."

The track follows the "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" outfit's 2024 album, Neon Pill, which marked the band's first album after frontman Matt Shultz was arrested in 2023 on gun charges and subsequently hospitalized amid a mental health crisis.

"It's no secret that I went through a mental health crisis a few years back; this song for me symbolizes me finally being able to move past it," Shultz says in a statement. "I was hospitalized for nearly three months, the song addresses it by creating a fictionalized account of it. It was my attempt at reclaiming the ability to write about something serious that happened in my life, from a place of genuine experience."

"Beaches in Tennessee" also marks the first Cage the Elephant song released after signing to a new label, Big Loud Rock.

The Pretty Reckless will launch a U.S. tour Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina, in support of their new album, Dear God, and "Heaven Knows" frontwoman Taylor Momsen is pumped to hit the road.

"I haven't been this excited about a touring cycle in I don't even know how many years," Momsen tells ABC Audio.

"There's a freshness to our energy and to our attitude," she continues. "It's just gonna make for a really heightened, incredible, super fun show."

The tour will include a mix of headlining dates and shows opening for AC/DC. The Pretty Reckless previously opened for the "Back in Black" legends in 2024 and 2025, but they haven't headlined their own full U.S. tour since 2022.

"To get to continue [touring with AC/DC] is amazing, but to have that be routed into a headline tour, it kinda can't get better than that," Momsen says. "It's been so long since we've been in control of the venue and control of the stage. And headlining is just my favorite thing in the world."

As she readies her return to tour, Momsen is also preparing for what creepy-crawly creature might bite her next. You may recall that she was bitten by a bat and spider on separate legs of the AC/DC tour, and, as Momsen says, "Things come in threes."

"I hurt my ankle on this last run, I'm hoping that was the third thing," Momsen laughs. "But I don't know, we'll have to wait and see."

"I'm hoping the spider was the end of it, 'cause that was so much worse than the bat," she adds. "I think that counts as two. Like, that counts as two bites." 

Dear God is out now. It includes the singles "For I Am Death" and "When I Wake Up."

While Iron Maiden has an excuse as to why they won't be attending the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, they still wouldn't go even if they didn't have it.

The ceremony date, Nov. 14 in Los Angeles, falls right in the middle of Iron Maiden's tour of Australia. When asked by Metal Hammer if they would attend if they didn't happen to be on the other side of the globe at the same time, frontman Bruce Dickinson simply replies, "No."

"I don't do those sort of things," adds bassist Steve Harris. "I didn't even go to the recent red carpet thing for [Maiden's Burning Ambition] documentary. It's not me."

Maiden was chosen for induction as part of the Rock Hall's 2026 class after two previous nominations. In past interviews, Maiden members have not been overly enthusiastic about the Rock Hall, especially Dickinson.

"Bruce has his own strong feelings about it, which is his opinion," Harris says. "It's never really bothered me one way or the other, because awards aren't what we do this for. But in a weird way I'm glad it's happened so the Americans will stop banging on about it."

"To me, if you get offered something, you say, 'Thank you very much,'" he continues. "But did I lose sleep over getting it or not getting it? No."

Dickinson adds, "I can't even summon the energy to be vitriolic about it."

"I appreciate that a significant number of people are happy for us," Dickinson says. "That's nice. It's not something we're bothered about."

Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford and Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready are among the rockers helping to mark what would have been original AC/DC frontman Bon Scott’s 80th birthday.

Scott, who passed away in 1980 at age 33, would have turned 80 on Thursday. His official YouTube page has uploaded several birthday messages to mark the occasion.

“We toured with AC/DC on the Highway to Hell Tour in the U.K. [in] 1979. Learned a lot from Bon Scott,” Elliott said in his video. “Used to go out front and watch him every night. This guy knew how to command a crowd. Phenomenal frontman, great singer, underrated singer."

“As we remember what would have been Bon Scott's 80th birthday, we celebrate far more than a rock singer,” Halford noted. “We celebrate a free spirit that could never be contained.”

“Bon had a rare gift. He made people feel alive. His voice carried mischief, grit, humor and honesty,” he added. “He sang with the conviction of someone who had lived every word. And that authenticity continues to resonate across generations.”

McCready played some AC/DC riffs, including "Highway to Hell," and revealed how much Bon meant to him growing up.

“In 1979, I cut out the cover of my Let There Be Rock record and made it into a stencil and spray-painted on the back of my jacket,” he said. “I love that band so much. And Bon for sure.”

Other artists paying tribute include The Darkness' Justin Hawkins and Judas Priest's Ian Hill.

The Bon Scott estate kicked off a celebration of his 80th birthday back in February. It includes the third annual Bon’s Birthday Bash, taking place Thursday in New York.

Yungblud will no longer be performing Sunday at the Cowboys Music Festival in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

"To all my family in Canada I apologise for not being there with you all this weekend," Yungblud says in a statement posted to the festival's Instagram. "I'm currently in a place where I'm working on myself and taking time off at home in the UK."

"I'm taking this extremely seriously and facing head on what's going on for the good of the long term," the "Zombie" rocker continues. "I will never take any of this for granted and I will see you all soon. I love you all."

A replacement for Yungblud will be announced shortly. Those who already purchased tickets will receive an email regarding refund options.

Yungblud last performed in June at his Bludfest festival in Czechia, during which he was seen being overwhelmed with emotion.

"Recently, I've been really struggling and this moment is a byproduct of my body releasing the wave of emotion that has hit me in the past year that I've been unable to process," Yungblud said of the moment. "I'm not gonna lie to you when I got off this stage I felt elated but 20 minutes later when I was in the shower on my own I had a breakdown."

You can read Yungblud's full comments on the clip on his Instagram.

Yungblud is scheduled to return to the road July 28 for a show in Indianapolis.

Black Sabbath's Bill Ward has shared an update on his health.

In a Facebook post published Thursday, the 78-year-old drummer writes, "I'm announcing today somewhat sadly but nonetheless truthfully, that I've reached a place where publicly more and more I need to use a wheelchair, mostly in airports, or public events."

"I can still walk, let there be no doubt," Ward continues. "But I can't walk very far without needing to rest, meaning I need to sit down."

Ward adds that he's "still a drummer" and feels he "can still play pretty good for 78 years old."

"My talents and ambitions, and my unyielding need to be artful, and to play drums, is still as strong as it was so many years ago now," Ward writes. "I'm just saying if you see me in a wheelchair, I'm just catching a ride, I'm not in retirement or ill or giving up, or any of those thoughts that ignite when we see people in wheelchairs. I'm making myself public and transparent about my new transport, and letting you know I'm OK."

He concludes, "Much love to you all and I'll keep rocking until I'm dead."

Ward reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler in 2025 for the massive Back to the Beginning concert, which marked the final live performance by the legendary metal outfit's original lineup. Ozzy died just over two weeks later at age 76.

Black Stone Cherry has released an acoustic version of "Deep," a song off the band's new EP, Celebrate.

"We are so happy to release this intimate version of an already deeply personal song," reads a post on the Black Stone Cherry Facebook. "I think stripping it back, and adding in the layers of mandolin, dobro, and slide guitar, add to its emotion and convey its message in a very unique way. We hope you enjoy this version as much as we did creating it."

Celebrate, which follows Black Stone Cherry's 2023 album, Screamin' at the Sky, dropped in March. It also includes the single "Celebrate" and a cover of Simple Minds' "Don't You (Forget About Me)" featuring Theory of a Deadman frontman Tyler Connolly.
