With 2024 marking the 30th anniversary of the original Crow movie — as well as the release of the polarizing new remake starring Bill Skarsgård — Life of Agony were inspired to pay tribute to the '94 cult classic and its late star Brandon Lee, both of whom had a huge impact on them during their early years. The result is the stunning new song "The Crow (In Memory of B.L.)," a gorgeous, grunge-goth elegy that would've fit nicely on the original film's beloved, generation-defining soundtrack featuring the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, Pantera and more.

Originally released in 1974, Relayer is Prog rock band Yes' seventh studio album and it's composed of just three tracks, one on side A and two on B. That mammoth first song is "The Gates of Delirium" and it clocks in at nearly 22 minutes. It's a stunner though; a masterclass in slow build, and long-game reward. Dynamic and evocative, never short of emotion, the song proves that prog doesn't have to be about "clever for clever's sake."

By 1973, the Bee Gees’ career had hit a low. After a series of hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including "To Love Somebody," "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," and "I Started a Joke," the band was in a rut.Their latest album, “Life in a Tin Can,” and single “Saw a New Morning" sold poorly, and the band’s popularity declined. On April 6, 1973, the Gibb brothers (Barry, Robin and Maurice) appeared on “The Midnight Special,” a late-night TV show that aired on Saturday mornings at 1 a.m. after “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” Given the lukewarm reception to their recent releases, the Bee Gees decided to change things up and play a medley of hits from their idols, The Beatles, who had broken up 3 years before.The performance, which featured 5 of the Fab Four’s early hits, including “If I Fell,” “I Need You,” “I'll Be Back,” “This Boy,” and “She Loves You,” was a stripped-down, acoustic performance that highlighted the Bee Gees' trademark harmonies.
