During a sold-out Eagles of Death Metal show at Le Bataclan in Paris in 2015, terrorists armed with rifles, grenades, and suicide vests attacked the venue during a coordinated attack on the city. The band escaped but the attack left 89 dead, including the band’s merchandise manager.

Also, in 2001 we got Rob Zombie’s The Sinister Urge. Other releases include Dos from Green Day in 2012, AC/DC’s Power Up in 2020 and Soundgarden’s King Animal in 2012. This would be their last album with singer Chris Cornell.
