Sweden’s Nephila release their second album, Huldra, tomorrow through Majestic Mountain Records. Comprised of nine meticulously-arranged, dually-vocalized, organ-laced, folk-informed-and-folkloric pieces of conceptually-minded classic heavy rock with influences from Thin Lizzy (“Capercailles Hymn”) to shuffle-boogie (“The Living Grace”) to a whole lot of ’70s prog — always for Sweden, one thinks of November, but this is a bigger, broader sound and that’s clearly on purpose — and somehow distilling it into a cohesive, dynamic and varied sound across 38 minutes, the record comes at you with a lot and doesn’t leave any move it makes unjustified. Opening with the organ-and-vocal buildup of “Mother of the Woods,” it sets an immediately and suitably naturalist atmosphere and grows heavier from there as the guitars, bass and drums make their way in, unhurried even in a bit of guitar shred as the seven-piece (!) set the mood for what follows, vocalists Josephine Asker and Linn Edlund offering a richness of melody that becomes the thread uniting the songs. Whether it’s a riffier hit like “In Her Hands” or the catchy “The Hidden Folk,” which follows — and no, the folk isn’t really hidden; they’re talking about people in the forest — or the timely ebbs and flows of leading to the ready-for-the-big-stage-at-the-festival crescendo of “Solar Eclipse,” there is no move the band make without solid ground under their feet, and yet the primary impression Huldra makes is one of absolute soar. This persists throughout, and one of the most fortunate aspects of Huldra is that the band are able to maintain the energetic standard they lay out for themselves. “The Hidden Folk” is careful in its way, and tastefully executed, the tones of Jacob Hellenrud and Anton Athley — what, you thought they’d have two singers and one guitarist? this is a seven-piece, remember; they’ve got masks for everybody who wants one — holding to their shimmer in “Ash Their Bones” as Charlie Andersson Vistbacka‘s bass and Johan Lööf‘s drums playfully twist and Johan Larsson‘s organ work adding lushness to the melodies and groove alike. Side A is very much an A-side, and by that I mean as they work their way toward “Capercailles Hymn” as the record’s centerpiece, the songs are direct in their engagement and let the mood emerge from the overarching feeling of movement between them. Side B, on the other side of that take-a-breath not-quite-instrumental two-and-a-half-minute divide, which indeed ends vocalizing on a fade, starts proto-metallic with the album’s title-track, and with that subtle atmospheric shift, begins to branch out on what the first half accomplished. The crucial pair of “Solar Eclipse” and “The Living Grave” follow, back-to-back as the only two songs over five minutes long, the latter the longest at 5:44, and the harmonies between Asker and Edlund are on full display as the sound-defining strength that they are, conveying a wistful awe in the early going of “Solar Eclipse” en route to the already-noted peak that song climbs. “The Living Grave,” meanwhile, is a full-on ’70s bask, daring toward a Deep Purple-y organ jam in its middle, not really meandering but backing the solo in a different and more open-feeling manner. Of course they bring it around to the hook again to close, in rousing fashion. Does that make the slide-inclusive closer “F.I.N.N.” an afterthought? Not really. On paper, one might argue for it as epilogue following “Solar Eclipse” and “The Living Grave,” but the truth of listening is that the light-footed stomp of the verse, the stop under the vocals of the bridge and the surge that follows claim their own space, standout lines about bowing to ‘the goddess’ feeling appropriate to the vibe as a culmination/landing point for the album as a whole. It’s a big finish, then, but more about the near-gospel heights of the vocals than an instrumental blowout, which is consistent with what’s come before; again, the cohesion, unflinching, as perhaps it would need to be for a band like this to work either in terms of aesthetic or songcraft without coming apart at the seams, never mind to be as strident as Nephila are in this material. You’ll find Huldra streaming on the player below in full. Under that, the PR wire has more background about the concepts and themes the album is working with, and the video for the title-track. Please enjoy: Pre-order link: https://nephilamusic.bandcamp.com/album/huldra At the heart of HULDRA lies an ambitious concept inspired by the legend of the skogsrå, the enigmatic forest spirit of Nordic folklore. Across the album, every song becomes another chapter in a world built around this captivating figure, who acts as both narrator and guide through an untamed landscape where beauty and danger exist side by side. That symbolism runs throughout the album. Historically, women who challenged the expectations of their time, whether through independence, ambition, or simply refusing to conform, were often misunderstood, demonized, or feared. In Nephila’s interpretation, the skogsrå becomes a powerful reflection of that history: a woman who answers to no one, ruling her own world while society casts her as both temptation and threat. The album explores identity, freedom, power, and our instinctive longing for places beyond civilization, allowing ancient mythology to speak directly to modern anxieties. The road to HULDRA has been anything but straightforward. The project took more than three years to complete, slowed by the aftermath of the pandemic, lineup changes, and the arrival of new members. Just as the record neared completion, another setback followed when the label originally scheduled to release the album declared bankruptcy in 2025, forcing Nephila to postpone its release once again. Undeterred, the band continued refining the record. During the late summer of 2024, Nephila recorded HULDRA between guitarist Jacob Hellenrud’s studio and a remote former orphanage in Lappnäs, a setting whose isolation and atmosphere seeped naturally into the music. The wait is finally over. On August 28, Nephila will release HULDRA through Majestic Mountain Records, inviting listeners into their most haunting, cinematic, and emotionally profound work to date. It is an album where classic heavy rock collides with Nordic folklore, where towering riffs meet haunting melodies, and where the forest itself becomes both storyteller and sanctuary.

Phantom-like MONSTERS and CROCODILES weave through the dark, erased by glowing, primitive fires. A CHORUS OF LUNATICS and DEMONS dances around a giant house of pasteboard cards.) CHORUS OF DEMONS & LUNATICS (Con agitato) From pasteboard depths and hidden traps, We count the wages, plot the maps! Forbidden riddles, dark desire, The sharks swim near the burning pyre! Minds controlled in blood and light, We claim the terror of the night! (Enter poet, pale and tormented, holding a blood-stained letter.) poet (Recitative) Behold the scabrous traps of destiny! The minotaur gnaws upon the living flesh, While inner dark ravens shriek our misery... Cold letters delivered to poseurs and pitch-black souls! (Aria – Andante doloroso) Oh, wretched heart, where sniveling veins run cold, And theoretical arguments decay! The cages shake, the mortal world grows old, And falsehoods juggle all our truth away. Maggots crawl upon the bloated face— Is this the end of man’s exalted race? ACT II: THE RITUAL OF LIGHT AND SILENCE (A sudden, blinding, superhuman light strikes the stage. The chaotic demons cower. FROTHY DANCERS in grotesque costumes whirl in a manic dance—flipper-dippers and pudding-pies of madness.) CHORUS OF MORTALS (Crescendo, dramatic) The light! The light! It dazzles, it consumes! It shakes the cages of our grand saloons! All haughty readers collapse to dust, To face the reckoning of the just! (poet steps into the center of the light, raising his dagger toward the heavens.) poet (Aria – Maestoso) Let morning shudder! Let the smile be stilled! The curtain calls for what the stars have willed. No more deceit, no more the phantom’s reign— The play is done, and silence drowns the pain! (poet falls upon his blade. The superhuman light slowly fades into a deep, velvety violet. The magnificent, wide theater curtains descend heavily as the orchestra plays a final, resounding minor chord.) (Curtain drops. Silence.) lyrics and music by Steve.D.Hammond.

Source: Charlene Masona / Courtesy of Talent/Brand Black hairstyles are beautiful year-round, but in the summertime, the styling is bolder and more creative than ever. You can come across an array of creative hairstyles from intricate cornrows, to boho braids, and of course the classic coils and kinks that defy gravity – and it doesn’t end there. Lace, closure, and half wigs are also a perfect fit for the summer hair rotation. Now I know what you may be thinking… “A wig, in the summer?! Girl it’s HOT!” I completely understand the importance of letting our hair and scalp breathe (I should honestly be better at taking care of that), but not all wigs are one and the same. This summer, I got my hands on a hassle-free, All-Day Comfort Wig from Luvme hair and I do not regret it. The ready-to-wear unit ranges from 14 to 28 inches with a 7x 6 closure. Not only is the HD lace pre-cut, it’s also prestyled with curls and bangs. The hair came in Luvme’s gorgeous purple box with an adjustable and removable elastic band. The bundles are soft with just the right amount of shine. After a few brushes, I was ready to roll, which makes getting ready so much faster — especially when I want to be outside enjoying the festivities of the season. The 180% density makes the hair very lightweight and comfortable, perfect for the warm summer months. The brunette hair combined with the ombré honey caramel ends complement my summer tan, while also serving as the perfect transition unit for fall. As a digital creator, getting ready to film can be extremely time-consuming. With this hair, it took way less time to be camera-ready and I was able to film with ease. What I love most about the wig is its ability to be worn up in an updo or down. I like to put mine into a claw clip and leave fringe down in the front, channeling Beyonce’s B’Day era. You know what is truly the best part? NO GLUE. When I wear this unit, I can throw it on without lace glue or adhesive spray. If my forehead could talk, it would tell me to buy at least five more of these wigs. One of the most beautiful aspects of being a Black woman is our versatility and self-expression. Our hair is one meaningful and fun way we show that. It’s one of the ways we relate to one another and build community. So, thank you Luvme Hair for giving me yet another fun and easy option to express myself – not just for the summer – but year round.

The Dominican Republic is set to become the 48th country in the world and the seventh in Latin America to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism after President Luis Abinader ordered the country’s foreign ministry to formalize the decision.The move came as Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the U.S. special envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, urged other Latin American governments to follow the Dominican Republic’s lead, pointing to the Trump administration’s efforts at home as a framework for confronting antisemitism internationally.Abinader made the announcement Monday at the Combat Antisemitism Movement-sponsored annual Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism in the nation's capital, Santo Domingo. According to an English translation of the president’s remarks, Abinader said antisemitism should not be viewed as a threat affecting only Jewish communities. "Antisemitism is not a problem that concerns only the Jewish people," he said. "It is a threat to democratic coexistence and to the rights and freedoms of us all."A NEW CHAPTER FOR AMERICA’S 250TH: 'J250' INITIATIVE PUTS JEWISH CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE SPOTLIGHTThe announcement comes amid heightened concern over antisemitism worldwide. The Combat Antisemitism Movement’s Antisemitism Research Center monitored and reported 767 antisemitic incidents globally in March 2026, an average of nearly 25 incidents per day and a 32.5% increase compared with March 2025.Kaploun praised the Dominican Republic’s decision at the conference as a "historic moment" and called on other governments across the region to follow its lead."What you have witnessed tonight is a government standing up for what is right," he said."There cannot be any compromise with antisemitism," he continued. "We will lead by example, and we will take positive steps to protect every Jewish community."Kaploun pointed to the Trump administration’s efforts in the United States as a framework other governments could use to confront antisemitism within their own institutions.'NOT ON OUR WATCH': GLOBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS UNITE IN POLAND AGAINST HATE"In America, we have our marching orders," he said. "We are holding universities accountable. We are prosecuting hate crimes. We have changed our visa vetting programs. We have withdrawn from major U.N. bodies that have promoted terrorism and antisemitism."The U.S. State Department has used a working definition of antisemitism, together with guiding examples, since 2010. In 2016, the IHRA’s member countries adopted the current non-legally binding working definition.The IHRA describes antisemitism as "a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews." It further explains that antisemitism can include rhetorical or physical manifestations directed against Jewish or non-Jewish individuals, their property, Jewish community institutions or religious facilities.Its non-legally binding definition and accompanying examples are intended to help governments, law enforcement agencies, universities and other institutions identify contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and respond to incidents more consistently.CHRISTIAN LEADERS HOLD EMERGENCY SUMMIT IN JERUSALEM TO CONFRONT GLOBAL RISE IN ANTISEMITISMThe accompanying examples address conduct including Holocaust denial, conspiracy theories about Jewish power, holding Jewish people collectively responsible for Israel’s actions and applying standards to Israel that are not demanded of other democratic nations.As of the end of 2025, 1,334 governments, public institutions, universities, nonprofit organizations, corporations and sports organizations worldwide had adopted or endorsed the IHRA definition, according to data compiled by the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s Antisemitism Research Center.Abinader told the conference that, "Rejecting antisemitism does not mean taking a position regarding a particular government or conflict," he added. "It means stating unequivocally that no political disagreement, no cause and no circumstance can justify hatred, discrimination, or violence against an individual or a community."Abinader said the definition would provide the country with a framework for identifying and combating different forms of antisemitism while respecting freedom of expression and other rights protected by the Dominican Constitution.CRITICS SAY TURKEY'S VERBAL ATTACKS ON ISRAEL HAVE CROSSED INTO ANTISEMITISM"Through this decision, the Dominican Republic reaffirms its commitment to the memory of the Holocaust, to the protection of Jewish communities and to the eradication of antisemitism in all its forms," he said. "Human dignity is indivisible and its defense admits no exceptions."The president connected the decision to the Dominican Republic’s history of offering refuge to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. Following the 1938 Évian Conference, hundreds of Jewish refugees established a community in Sosúa, where they were able to rebuild their lives.Abinader also announced that his government would commit 50 million Dominican pesos toward constructing a new building for the Jewish Museum of Sosúa to preserve that history.SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTEROnce the Foreign Ministry formalizes the decision, the Dominican Republic will join Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama and Uruguay as the Latin American countries that have embraced the IHRA framework.The decision adds to growing regional acceptance of the definition and could set a precedent for additional Latin American governments considering how to formally identify and address antisemitism.Abinader concluded his remarks with a call for the region to act: "From this land, which at different moments in its history has offered refuge and hope, let us send a firm message throughout Latin America and the Caribbean: Indifference must never prevail in the face of hatred.""May this forum enable us to turn memory into education; education into prevention; and our principles into concrete action," he added.Kaploun framed that regional effort as one the United States is prepared to support, saying he was representing President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in delivering a direct message to Latin American leaders: "America stands ready to support our friends in this effort to bring a new Latin America with religious liberty and freedom for everybody."

Paragraph 1: The Long-Awaited Hammer Falls After years of legal maneuvering, tense courtroom battles, and a high-stakes clash between a nimble academic spin-off and a deep-pocketed industry titan, the gavel has finally come down. A federal judge has officially stamped a final judgment into the record, solidifying a massive financial victory for the University of Washington and its spin-off company, TwinStrand Biosciences, over the liquid biopsy giant Guardant Health. The ruling, handed down in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, transforms a jury’s initial gut-check verdict into an unassailable legal fact. For TwinStrand and the university researchers who spent years perfecting a groundbreaking way to read DNA, this is the vindication they’ve been fighting for. For Guardant, it’s a $245 million reality check—and a looming threat that could fundamentally alter how the company operates its flagship cancer detection tests moving forward. The judgment isn’t just a matter of paying a fine; it is a formal declaration that Guardant built some of its most commercially critical products on a foundation that did not belong to them. Walking through the doors of that Delaware courthouse, both sides knew the stakes were astronomical, because at the heart of this dispute lies the very essence of modern cancer medicine: the ability to spot the most minuscule traces of a tumor hiding in a simple blood draw. Paragraph 2: Breaking Down the Mountain of Money Let’s talk numbers, because the figure attached to this judgment is as complex as the science behind it. While the headline number screams $245.7 million, that sum is actually a carefully constructed tower of different penalties and fees, each representing a distinct chapter of the infringement saga. The base of the tower is the original jury verdict from 2023, which found that Guardant’s willful infringement had caused $83.4 million in actual damages. But the story doesn’t stop there. The court recognized that Guardant didn’t just stop using the technology after the verdict—so they tacked on an additional $19.5 million in supplemental damages to cover the period after that first jury ruling. Then, there are the ongoing royalties: a hefty $119.4 million that accounts for the sales Guardant continued to make while the case was on the verge of conclusion. Finally, to make the point that delaying justice carries a price, the court added $22.9 million in pre-judgment interest. But here is the truly staggering part: the bill isn’t paid in full yet. The judgment includes a continuous, forward-looking mandate. Until the two patents expire in 2033, Guardant is now legally obligated to hand over 6 percent of the sales revenue from every covered cancer test it sells. Given that Guardant’s products generate hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue, that 6 percent royalty isn’t just a penalty—it’s a massive tax on their future operations. It fundamentally changes their profit margins, yet the court made it clear that access to this patented technology comes with a price tag that must be respected. Paragraph 3: How a Family Legacy Converged with Cutting-Edge Biotech To truly grasp why this fight was so bitter, you have to understand the sacred scientific territory they were fighting over. This isn’t about a generic software patent; it’s about a revolutionary method of reading human DNA that traces its roots back to the laboratories of the University of Washington. The technology, developed by a team including scientist Dr. Jesse Salk, is known as Duplex Sequencing. To the layperson, it solves a seemingly impossible problem: the current tools used to read DNA are prone to making their own errors, essentially creating “noise” that masks the very rare mutations that indicate cancer. Salk’s innovation acts like a high-powered microscope for genetics, correcting those errors by sequencing both strands of the DNA double helix. This cuts the false-positive rate by a staggering 10,000-fold, allowing doctors to spot mutations that would otherwise be lost in the static. It’s the difference between trying to hear a whisper at a rock concert and listening to that whisper in a soundproof room. And here’s where the story gets poetic: Jesse Salk isn’t just any biotech founder. He is the grandson of Jonas Salk, the legendary scientist who developed the polio vaccine. Carrying that gene for medical innovation, Jesse helped launch TwinStrand in 2015 to commercialize the UW breakthrough, backed by major investors including Madrona Venture Group and Alexandria Venture Investments. By 2021, they’d raised a massive $50 million Series B round to push the technology into the clinic, positioning themselves as a purist force in oncology, built on the foundation of a genetic legacy. Paragraph 4: The David’s Triumph Over a Goliath From the perspective of TwinStrand and the University of Washington, this final judgment is nothing short of a moral and intellectual triumph. Chad Waite, the chairman of TwinStrand’s board, expressed a quiet, satisfied confidence in the wake of the ruling. To him, this isn’t just about the money—it’s about the principle that intellectual property is sacred, especially in the world of medical innovation where cutting corners can have real-world consequences for patients. When Guardant Health launched its own competing tests that utilized similar error-correcting technology, TwinStrand argued that Guardant didn’t invent around the patents; they simply used them without a license. The jury agreed. Waite’s reaction, as captured in the company’s official statements, reflects a deep-seated belief that the facts of the case were always on their side. “We remained steadfast in our conviction that the facts would prevail,” Waite noted, hinting at the years of uncertainty and legal fees that a smaller company has to endure when taking on a billion-dollar rival. This victory sends a powerful message to the broader biotech community: shouldering the burden of basic research and development doesn’t just entitle you to a pat on the back; it entitles you to legal protection. For the researchers at the University of Washington, this isn’t just a windfall for the school’s endowment—it’s a validation that their taxpayer-funded, foundational research deserves to be compensated when industry giants turn it into consumer products, providing a vital revenue stream to fund the next generation of scientific breakthroughs. Paragraph 5: Guardant’s Unwavering Defiance and the Appeal However, if you think Guardant Health is going to roll over and write a massive check today, you would be dead wrong. The company, founded in 2012 and now a household name in oncology circles, is gearing up for a protracted war. Their immediate legal strategy is three-fold: they are challenging the financial calculation, fighting the label of “willful” infringement, and—most cleverly—arguing that the products named in the lawsuit aren’t even the same ones they sell today. Guardant’s legal team, led by Chief Legal Officer John Saia, immediately fired a rhetorical broadside, declaring that they “strongly disagree” with the decision and will “promptly be appealing.” Saia was quick to emphasize that the judgment specifically covers older iterations of their products. The current versions of their flagship tests, Guardant Reveal and Guardant Shield, have allegedly been substantially upgraded with new technology that does not overlap with the disputed patents. This is a classic, strategic legal maneuver: by arguing that the “old” Guardant infringes but the “new” Guardant doesn’t, they aim to minimize the structural damage to their ongoing business. Furthermore, the judge issued a stay on the judgment, meaning that no money will actually change hands during the appeal process. This provides Guardant with a financial buffer, allowing them to continue operating their booming cancer diagnostic business without the immediate hemorrhage of cash, buying them time to potentially overturn the verdict in a higher court. Paragraph 6: The Industry-Wide Stakes of the Ongoing Battle As the dust settles on this historic verdict, the implications ripple far beyond the two companies involved. This legal war serves as a brutal case study in the competitive dynamics of the multi-billion-dollar cancer diagnostics industry. Liquid biopsies—the ability to detect cancer DNA via a simple blood draw—are the gold rush of modern oncology. The market is fiercely contested, and technology boundaries are razor-thin. Guardant Health’s insistence on appealing, and their confidence in the “strengths and merits” of their own research and development, signals that they believe they have prior art or design differences that render the UW patents invalid. Their R&D teams are likely already working on workarounds that bypass the specific claims entirely. But if the appeals court upholds this verdict, it will serve as a stark warning to every other biotech company: cannot take the freedom to operate for granted. It will embolden research institutions to aggressively enforce their patent portfolios, knowing that juries are willing to deliver massive judgments against commercial giants. For now, the cancer patients who rely on these tests will have to watch from the sidelines, hoping that this heated legal battle does not slow down the pace of innovation or muddy the waters of competitive product development. The only certainty is that this fight is far from over. For every dollar in royalties that TwinStrand hopes to bank, Guardant is spending ten in legal fees to make sure they never have to pay it, leaving the entire industry in a state of uncertainty until the appeals court writes the final chapter.
