This past week was packed with tons of hype and new jams!

Over these last few days, BLACKPINK have been aggressively throwing out teasers upon teasers and pre-release events for their first full-length album. It's been 'Pretty Savage' to say the least, but now their album is here to finally light up the sky.

LANY are back with their third studio record Mama's Boy, which vocalist Paul Klein describes as their "best album ever."

On the other side of the spectrum of music, Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor has unveiled his debut solo record CMFT, ahead of his ambitious and fiery (in the most literal way) concert on Saturday (10/03) at 5 a.m. (PHT). Tickets available here.

While you hit start on Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time or Star Wars Squadron—both out today—get your weekend backed up by these new releases from some of your favorite Filipino artists.
