At 94 years old, Star Trek actor William Shatner has revealed plans for a new heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden, alongside original tracks. The project involves 35 handpicked metal musicians and stems from his recent collaboration with the supergroup Nuclear Messiah. Shatner described the endeavor as a bold exploration into the genre.
Nashville singer-songwriter Madi Diaz has released Enema of the Garden State, a full-album cover of Blink-182's Enema of the State, to benefit the Defending Our Neighbors Fund. The project, available exclusively on Bandcamp via Anti-, started as a nostalgic exercise but evolved into a political statement amid concerns over mass deportations. All proceeds from the album will support immigrant families and provide access to legal resources.
