Coastal Rhythms & Bluegrass Roots: Asher Brinson Debuts ‘Midnight Hurricane’

Newport, North Carolina, has a new voice in bluegrass, and he’s playing it left-handed. Asher Brinson, the young picker and songwriter who has been turning heads from MerleFest to the IBMA, has officially released his debut album, Midnight Hurricane. (Dreamspider Publicity, 2026)

Blending refreshingly honest storytelling with the salt-air influence of the Carolina coast, Brinson’s debut is a standout in modern bluegrass collaboration.

A Self-Taught Journey to the Main Stage

Asher has been around music his entire life in family jams and the legendary circles of the Galax Fiddlers Convention. His talent caught the eye of the late, legendary luthier Wayne Henderson, who became a mentor and friend, even building Asher a rare, custom left-handed guitar.

Since then, Asher’s trajectory has been exceptional:

  • Mentorship: Studied under Christopher Henry (Noya Mountain Music Studio), who produced the new record.
  • The Stage: Shared spotlights at the Wayne C. Henderson Festival and recently joined The Travelin’ McCourys Young Guns Tour.
  • What’s Next: Catch him live at the Bijou Theatre in Knoxville (4/9), Ocrafolk Festival (6/5-7), and the Outer Banks Bluegrass Island Festival (10/15-17).

Inside the Tracks: Midnight Hurricane

The album features eight original songs, two traditional instrumentals, and a gritty Billy Strings cover. To bring these stories to life, Asher assembled an “all-star” studio band:

  • Asher Brinson: Lead Vocals & Guitar
  • Cory Walker: Banjo
  • Jason Carter: Fiddle
  • Christopher Henry: Bass & Mandolin

Album Highlights

“This song naturally evolved from living on the North Carolina coast, experiencing the late-night intensity of hurricanes—where you hear everything but see nothing.” — Asher Brinson on the title track.

SongFeaturingInspiration
“Midnight Hurricane”Sierra Hull & Lindsay LouThe sensory overload of coastal storms.
“Lonesome Hobo Song”Sam BushClassic tales of train hopping.

“Queen Anne’s Waltz”Bronwyn Keith-HynesLocal maritime history and the swaying of a boat.
“Low Hanging Fruit”Sam BushThe very first song Asher ever wrote.

The record rounds out with the driving “I’m Going Back to Galax,” a nod to his competitive roots, and a high-energy cover of Billy Strings’ “Seven Weeks in County.”

Where to Hear Him

Asher Brinson is currently on the road, bringing his energy to stages across the Southeast. Whether it’s the underground depths of The Caverns or the salty breeze of the Outer Banks, Asher’s honest sound is one you don’t want to miss.

American Sharks Are Back: New Single and Album “Not Dead Yet” Announced

The wait is finally over. After a six-year hiatus, Austin’s favorite punk-metal hybrid, American Sharks, has officially returned. The trio dropped their brand-new single this month, the title track from their upcoming album, Not Dead Yet. (Us/Them Group, 2026)

Listen to “Not Dead Yet.”

The new track is a blistering reminder of why this band was missed.

The Sound: “Weezer Goes Stoner Rock”

Hailing from Austin, TX, American Sharks have perfected a high-energy sound that blends infectious pop hooks with “blasting-yer-face” riffs. Imagine the melodic sensibility of Weezer mashed into a heavy Stoner Rock aesthetic, and you’re halfway there.

Centering around founders Roky Moon (vocalist/bassist) and Nick Cornetti (drummer), the new album features nine fast-paced, pummeling tracks that prove the band is far from finished.

A Heavyweight Guest List

The band isn’t coming back alone. Not Dead Yet features an impressive roster of special guest guitar soloists from across the rock and metal world:

  • Mike Derks (GWAR)
  • Zach Blair (Rise Against)
  • Kyle Shutt (The Sword)
  • David Sullivan (Red Fang)
  • Leo Lydon (Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol)

Catch Them On Tour

American Sharks will be hitting the road this spring as the main support for Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol. The full U.S. tour kicks off in April.

Tickets for all shows are available online.

A family’s love, a mother’s legacy, and the stage that calls them back.

Birita (89 mins) follows a family of theater-makers in the Faroe Islands attempting an impossible feat: staging Shakespeare’s King Lear with the family matriarch—celebrated actress Birita Mohr—in the lead role. The challenge? Birita is currently living with Alzheimer’s. (EG-PR, 2026)

Directed by her son, Búi Dam, the film explores a controversial but beautiful premise: the belief that even when language fades, the artist’s soul remains. As the production unfolds, Birita’s joyful presence brings an unexpected lightness to a heavy process, impacting everyone involved in this remarkable drama.

“A stirring exploration of art, memory, and the enduring bond of a family of creators.”

Poison Ruin Announces New Album ‘Hymns from the Hills’ via Relapse Records

Scythes, Spirits, and Synths: Poison Ruin Announces ‘Hymns from the Hills’

Poison Ruin’s upcoming release, Hymns from the Hills, ambitiously rewrites the rules of punk. The Philadelphia outfit is pushing their sound into expansive new terrains without sacrificing an ounce of the bleak symbolism and uncompromising aggression that established them as one of extreme music’s most urgent voices. (another side, 2026)

Expanding their signature approach to grim mythmaking, these new songs feel equal parts natural, undeniably of this world, and phantasmal.

Release Date: April 3 via Relapse Records

Formats: Vinyl, CD, and Digital

Available for pre-order.

A Tapestry of Dispossession

On Hymns from the Hills, Poison Ruin’s previous stories of toil are revealed to be but one chapter etched upon a bleaker tapestry. This is a landscape populated by:

  • Spirits traversing sunless deserts and wilted hillsides.
  • Demonic torture objects lining the psyche.
  • Bodies transfigured into Luciferian snakes.
  • Sadean prisoners bound to the screaming silence of abandoned towers.

Lead Single: “Eidolon”

The band’s signature raw, anthemic aggression pummels through on the lead single “Eidolon,” recently released alongside its official video.

Frontman, lyricist, and guitarist Mac Kennedy explains the track’s bleak inspiration:

“‘Eidolon’ is about being stuck in a broken reality, a cog in a fate-machine doomed to play out the same cursed loop until it fully breaks down. The ones who had the power to affect change have abandoned the scene… Grim reminders of what could have, but will not be.”

Expanding the Sonic Mythos

The record acts as both a forceful restatement and a bold departure. While listeners will recognize the crackling, cassette-dubbed darkness, it is now supported by a carefully sculpted mosaic of new textures:

  • Killing Joke-style hacksaw primitivism.
  • Blast-beats worthy of the Relapse catalog.
  • Crisp analog synth lines.
  • Ambient serenades reminiscent of Scott Walker and The Durutti Column.

The Craft: DIY Grandeur

Meticulously composed and self-recorded, the LP saw Kennedy relocate to a private practice space to meet the record’s greater sonic demands. To polish this “hissing abyss,” the band enlisted top-tier talent for the final touches:

  • Mixing: Jonah Falco (with Kennedy splicing in gritty tape segments for tonal continuity).
  • Mastering: Arthur Rizk.

The result is a rich structure of unconventional frictions—crystalline flashes of polish ripping through low-end grime, only to shatter against the whipping sting of rusted chains.

Mythic Sensibilities

Lyrically, Hymns from the Hills reaches new poetic heights. While the record continues the tradition of employing medieval-inflected fantasy imagery, Kennedy is quick to note that these figures are not intended to be read as historically accurate, but rather as tools for cynicism and defiant bravado.

“I’m not very interested in conveying the historical facts of medieval culture. If we are to make sense of the present, we need to employ a more mythic mode of language and symbol to reach beyond the spiritual malaise that envelopes us. A mythic truth resonates within any time, but its echoes call from outside of time. Medieval and fantasy imagery are simply effective personal starting points for tapping into that mode of communication.”

01 – Intro
02 – Lily Of the Valley
03 – Hymn from the Hills
04 – Eidolon
05 – Howls From the Citadel

Peacock’s ‘Threshold’: A Raw Look at Jessie Diggins’ Journey from the ‘Pain Cave’ to Recovery

‘Threshold’ will premiere on Peacock on February 23. Photo: Brinkema Brothers Productions, used with permission.

The Struggle Behind the Smile: New Documentary ‘Threshold’ Premieres Feb 23

I’m excited to announce the upcoming premiere of Threshold, a powerful feature documentary chronicling the life of Olympic legend Jessie Diggins. The film will debut on Peacock on Monday, February 23rd, strategically timed to coincide with the Winter Olympic Games. (EG PR, 2026)

At a Glance

  • Premiere Date: Monday, February 23rd on Peacock
  • Directed by: Lars Brinkema and Torsten Brinkema
  • Featuring: Jessie Diggins
  • Executive Producers: Torsten Brinkema, Patrick Dempsey
  • Music by: Julianna Barwick & Mary Lattimore
  • Running Time: 85 minutes

The Story: Beyond the Gold

Threshold is the story of the most decorated American cross-country skier ever, Jessie Diggins, and the painful fight with an eating disorder that occurred at the very peak of her career.

This is more than a sports story; it is a visceral, human account of vulnerability and recovery unfolding in real-time. Through unprecedented access to Jessie and the U.S. Ski Team, the film explores a disorder that often hides in plain sight, yet remains tragically misunderstood in professional athletics.

A Season Lived in Real-Time

The film unfolds over a single, high-stakes season, intercutting present-day vérité footage with decisive moments from Jessie’s past. It traces how a relentless pursuit of perfection led her to believe that controlling her body mass was the only key to success.

From grueling races above the Arctic Circle to the first World Cup on American snow in over 25 years, the documentary tracks the mounting pressure of elite sport. Ultimately, Threshold is a film about hope, proving that relapse is not failure and asking for help is not a weakness.

About the Subjects

Jessie Diggins | Olympic Gold Medalist

A three-time Olympic medalist, Jessie is known for her legendary ability to enter the “Pain Cave” during the closing moments of the world’s most grueling races. As the reigning two-time World Champion, she will compete in an extraordinary six different events at the 2026 Olympic Games.

Off the snow, Jessie is a fierce advocate for:

  • Mental Health: Managing and speaking openly about eating disorder recovery.
  • Sustainability: Raising awareness about the effects of global warming on winter sports.
  • Resilience: Sharing her experience on teamwork and mental toughness.

Lars Brinkema | Director & Cinematographer

Based in Los Angeles, Lars Brinkema began his career in photojournalism documenting the Minneapolis community’s resilience following the murder of George Floyd. His award-winning short, I Pray, set the stage for his feature directorial debut with Threshold.

When Jessie entrusted Lars with her story, the project became a personal mission rooted in his commitment to intimate, character-driven storytelling that fosters genuine social change.

“By allowing herself to be seen, Jessie offers something rare to those living in silence: proof that you can reclaim your health and your dreams.”

Amon Amarth and Dethklok Announce 2026 North American Co-Headlining Tour

Amon Amarth & Dethklok Announce The Amonklok Conquest North American Tour

Swedish metal titans Amon Amarth is joining forces with Dethklok for The Amonklok Conquest, an extensive co-headlining tour crossing North America in Spring 2026. With special guests Castle Rat, the tour promises a night of pure theater and over-the-top heavy metal entertainment. (another side, 2026)

This historic run marks the first time the two titan-sized bands have co-billed together, making it one of the biggest raids of the year.

A Clash of Metal Giants

Amon Amarth has long honored the adventurous ethos of their Viking forebears by taking their music anywhere and everywhere, earning a reputation as one of metal’s most vital and imperious live acts. Hot off a busy year conquering the high seas, supporting Slayer in the U.K. and storming the U.S. with Pantera, the band returns with an all-new theatrical stage production and an extended set for these upcoming dates.

Amon Amarth declares:

“Three bands. One night. The strong will scream. The weak will fall. Limbs will be lost. We will crush skulls beneath our boots and tear the halls down stone by stone. This is not a concert. It is a reckoning. If you survive… perhaps the gods have other plans for you.”

Dethklok: 20 Years of Metalocalypse

In 2026, Dethklok celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades since Metalocalypse premiered on Adult Swim. One of the most essential musical multimedia acts ever, Dethklok is both an animated phenomenon and a live metal juggernaut—combining intense musicianship with breakneck cinematic theatricality.

Joining them each night as special guests is the fantastical heavy metal band Castle Rat.

The Rat Queen proclaims:

“On the heels of the Vernal Equinox, our adjacent universes shall align as we bring .•.The Realm.•. of Castle Rat into battle alongside venerable vikings, Amon Amarth, and Metalocalypse metal-masters, Dethklok! Join us, as we seek to expand and defend .•.The Realm.•. from our arch nemesis: Death, Herself — The Rat Reaperess!”

Tour Information & Tickets

The newly announced North American dates are produced by Live Nation.
Tickets and full details are available online.
For additional updates and information, visit the official tour site.

New Music & What’s Next for Amon Amarth

Amon Amarth recently celebrated a bountiful year with the release of their new single “We Rule The Waves,” along with its accompanying video. Their first new song in years, it signals what’s to come—a brand-new album arriving in late 2026.

Carved from salt and steel, echoing across oceans and sonically barbaric, modern metal doesn’t get more epic, or more essential, than this.

About Amon Amarth

From pole to pole and sea to sea, Amon Amarth are the undisputed kings of Viking heavy metal. Formed in Tumba, Sweden, in 1992, the band has forged an extraordinary legacy over three decades of thunderous, anthemic metal steeped in Viking history, folklore, and culture.

From their underground smash debut Once Sent From The Golden Hall (1998) onward, Amon Amarth have remained an unstoppable creative force. Albums like Twilight Of The Thunder God (2008) and the conceptual triumph Jomsviking (2016) cemented their reputation for ageless anthems and explosive theatrical live shows, making them standard-bearers for heavy metal as a communal, life-affirming experience.

About Dethklok & Metalocalypse

Dethklok is an extreme metal band and the most successful entertainment act on the planet, along with being the seventh-largest economy in the animated world of Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse. Live, they are a multimedia powerhouse, blending animation, comedy, and sheer brutality while recreating beloved albums and visuals on stage.

Band members include musician and show co-creator Brendon Small and legendary drummer Gene Hoglan, among others.

Dethklok is:

  • Nathan Explosion – Vocals
  • Skwisgaar Skwigelf – Lead Guitar
  • Toki Wartooth – Rhythm Guitar
  • William Murderface – Bass
  • Pickles – Drums
