Hey listeners, Lenny Vaughn here, spinning the raw truth from vinyl grooves to streaming chaos, bridging the beats that algorithms forget. In the last 24 hours, metalheads are feasting as Metal Insider rounds up 47 fresh tracks and videos dropped on December 14—think Moonshade's melodic death metal twist on Stromae and Pomme's "Ma Meilleure Ennemie," Nine Inch Nails post-metal cover of "Even Deeper" by The Ocean, Epica's symphonic powerhouse "Avatar – The Final Incarnation," and Paradise Lost's doom-laden "Salvation." Black metal from Austria's Ellende and hardcore from Baltimore's Turnstile keep the heavy spectrum roaring, while Static-X dusts off industrial gems for their anniversary edition.

Over in country and roots, Rutherford Source spotlights Trey Calloway's heartfelt acoustic "Christmas With You," Morgan Myles' fiery 50th-anniversary takes on America's "Sister Golden Hair," Colin Stough's vulnerable ballad "Best For You," and Gareth's twangy spin on Avril Lavigne's "Complicated." Devon Allman's Nightvision project awakens with sci-fi instrumental vibes echoing Pink Floyd, and Lexi Langley's viral cover of Olivia Dean's "Man I Need" hits streams.

Jazz cats, KCCK's New Music Monday hails Kerry Politzer's collab with Kurt Rosenwinkel on "Before It's Too Late," Greg Burrows' tribute to Ed Bonoff, David Sneider's debut "Introducing," Carmen Bradford's big band nod to Carmen McRae, and Boz Scaggs' long-awaited "Detour" channeling the Great American Songbook.

Industry shakes: Variety reports The Weeknd seals a massive catalog deal with Lyric Capital, reportedly worth $1 billion for his masters and publishing through 2025—he keeps shares and control. Amra overhauls its client portal for real-time royalty tracking, weekly revenue refreshes, and song-specific breakdowns, per Music Business Worldwide. And vinyl lovers, The Vinyl District notes Universal Music Group opening a record shop in London's Camden Market next week.

From metal fury to holiday heartstrings, the spirit's alive beyond the playlists.
