Former Judas Priest Drummer Les Binks Passes Away
Les Binks, the Northern Irish drummer best known for his stint with Judas Priest from 1977 to 1979, has sadly passed away at the age of seventy three. No cause of death has been announced. His former bandmates broke the news by posting a statement on their social media pages, which reads as follows:
"We are deeply saddened about the passing of Les Binks and send our love to his family, friends and fans.
"The acclaimed drumming he provided was first class - demonstrating his unique techniques, flair and precision.
"Thank you Les. Your acclaim will live on."
Binks began his career in 1973, being heard by rock fans on Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover's solo album, "The Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper's Feast," before scoring two hits in America as a member of Fancy, including a rendition of "Wild Thing" which saw his drumming sampled numerous times. He would join Judas Priest shortly after they finished recording "Sin After Sin," produced by his former bandmate Roger Glover and in 1978, recording two studio albums with the band; "Stained Class," which featured "Beyond The Realms Of Death," a song he co-wrote, and "Killing Machine" (renamed "Hell Bent For Leather" in the United States.) He would also feature on "Unleashed In The East," a live album which entered the top ten in the British album charts and has gone on to become one of the most revered live albums in metal history. He left the band in 1979 and would have stints with Lionheart and Tytan, among many others.

The title track, which recently received its live debut, serves as the album’s first single and carries special weight. It includes musical ideas from the band’s late guitarist Jim Durkin, who tragically passed away in early 2023 following a battle with liver disease.

Gojira Wins Grammy For Best Metal Performance
This past Summer, French death metal veterans Gojira made history by becoming the first metal band to perform at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. The quartet performed a rendition of "Mea Culpa (Ah! C¸a ira!)," which delighted fans, thrilled attendees, and offended bible bashers in America who didn't understand that the theatrics had nothing to do with Jesus. Now, Gojira has even more reason to celebrate the show, as at the fourth time of asking, the group won their first Grammy award for Best Metal Performance.
Owing to its widely shared Olympic performance, the song was arguably the favourite to win this year, but nonetheless beat stiff competition from Judas Priest ("Crown Of Thorns,") Metallica ("Screaming Suicide,") Knocked Loose ("Suffocate" featuring Poppy) and Spiritbox ("Cellar Door.") Other notable winners tonight included such icons as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, as well as pop favourites like Sabrina Carpenter and Beyoncé, the latter of which took home two awards in the country category, so get out your popcorn and enjoy the meltdown in comment sections of country music pages for that one.

More big things coming! We plan on seeing as many of our fans around the world as we can! Stay tuned! Love you all!"
Drummer Tommy Decker states: "We are beyond excited to be able to celebrate 25 years of The Height of Callousness. This is the record that defined us as a band and changed our lives. We can’t wait to play all of these songs and share the memories with all of you who lived it with us."
Vocalist Jonny Santos adds: "We are extremely excited to celebrate the return of SpineShank for the 25th anniversary of 'The Height of Callousness' tour, and get to share this milestone with the people who were there back then, and the new fans that never got the chance to see us play. Truly an honor."
Bass player Rob Garcia said: "It’s amazing that 25 years later people still react to 'The Height Of Callousness' the way they do. We’re excited to get out and play these songs again, see old friends, and threw down for all the new fans who never got to see Spineshank the first time around!"
"I've been on tour with these guys since I was a little kid, watching them perform every night from the side of the stage. I can’t believe it’s come full circle and I get to share the stage with my dad and the rest of the guys who I consider my family. I was 4 years old when this album came out and seeing all the fans still show love to this album is crazy!" — Tommy Decker, Jr
Finally, new addition Jason Hager commented: "I am beyond excited and honored to be a part of the return of Spineshank, for the 25th anniversary of The Height Of Callousness tour. They’re not just one of my favorite bands, but have been great friends, ever since they generously, and selflessly helped us (Chimaira) out, during our early days. I’m looking forward to seeing you all, out on the road, and excited about what the future may hold."
