Back in June, Down announced that they were unable to play a show in New Mexico due to wildfires that were in the region. It was a huge bummer for everyone involved, especially the people in that region who not only missed out on a great show, but also had to worry their entire lives

After years of revolving door lineup changes, Singaporean grindcore mainstays Wormrot announced that not only do they have a new album coming out next year, but it’s going to feature the band’s classic lineup. In a pretty terse announcement on the band’s official Instagram page, Wormrot revealed the reunion by welcoming back founding vocalist Arif

Pacific Northwestern black metal is taking a long trek across the U.S. later this year, as Hulder announced plans today to bring their sound to the east coast for a string of dates this fall. In a year where they headlined The Decibel Magazine Tour before heading out on the ‘Forests Of Aeternity Pacific Northwest

Pacific Northwestern gothic rockers Unto Others have their third album Never, Neverland coming out next month and as a result, they dropped a new single and accompanying music video today titled “Momma Likes the Door Closed.” Featuring a more traditional heavy metal sound mixed with some doomy vocals, “Momma Likes the Door Closed” fuckin’ moves,

The wait for a new King Diamond album has been going on for a long fucking time. It’s been roughly three years since Metal Blade Records CEO Brian Slagel told the world that the new album would come out before Mercyful Fate‘s would. Then Mercyful Fate guitarist Hank Shermann suggested that both albums would come

For the record, that’s a hill I’m willing to die on — Crack The Skye is unequivocally Mastodon‘s best record. So when they announced earlier that they were releasing a 15th anniversary edition of the record in 2LP + Blu-Ray Deluxe Box, 2CD + Blu-Ray Deluxe, 2LP Deluxe Vinyl, 2CD Deluxe, and Digital Deluxe configurations,

Like it or not, artificial intelligence has seeped its way into the music industry. Countless A.I. “artists” flood Spotify, album covers are procedurally generated, and production professionals have adapted the tech to handle some of the more menial parts of editing. All of that was inevitable. But what about A.I. in metal? We asked you

In a move that’s sure to piss off metal fans that enjoy watching big men bumpin’ meat, the WWE announced that they’ll be using a song featuring German electronicore/party metal band Electric Callboy for the theme music to this month’s ‘Bash In Berlin’. Not only that, but it’s the song that includes everyone’s favorite (and

After a quarter of a century playing guitar with symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir, guitarist Tom Rune Andersen Orre (a.k.a. Galder) announced that he was making his exit from the group. Revealing his decision through an Instagram post yesterday, Galder said he’d already played his final show with the band. “..Announcement.. Yesterday I played

A surprise announcement was made last night during an alleged Cowboys From Hell show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The announcement? That it wasn’t actually going to be some band called Cowboys From Hell playing. Instead, it was going to be Pantera performing, and it was going to be a special night. According to

I very unironically love Creed, and I very unironically love this. Even though the band has been on the receiving end of meme-ery and tomfoolery throughout the years, they’ve got quite a few wins under their belt that deserve some flowers. Creed want to make sure we put some mutherfuckin respect on their name, and

Sadly, Coal Chamber have to reschedule their “Fiend For The Fans” tour due to health issues with lead singer Dez Fafara. It was supposed to start Friday, August 23 with tour mates Twiztid, Fear Factory, Black Satellite, and Wednesday 13, but now won’t happen until 2025. Fafara has been dealing with health issues on and

Still no sign of a new album on the horizon, but that’s not stopping Born of Osiris from dropping yet another new stand-alone single on your asses. This time, the track is titled “In Desolation” and it’s got an accompanying visualizer that you can check out below. This new single joins the other previously released

Over the last year or so, we’ve seen numerous headlines pop up of “X Band Says Y About A.I.” Sometimes it’s them using the technology for a creepy looking music video, other times it’s used for artwork, and in some small cases over on YouTube, it’s used for actual music. From Deicide talking about their

With a European tour coming up in October, American black metal firebrand Blackbraid dropped a special treat earlier today by releasing their cover of I’s track “Warriors”. Originally featured on the black metal supergroup’s 2006 album Between Two Worlds, this new rendition is incredibly badass. For the uninitiated or those that aren’t familiar, I was

A nationally recognized sports charity is offering one hell of a unique opportunity to at least one lucky winner and three additional guests, as they’ve put up the chance to have dinner with Metallica frontman James Hetfield. And the bidding is already nearly at $30,000 with just 21 bids entered. Organized by the Adaptive Sports

Riot Fest is moving. Again. Back in June, when the punk and metal festival Riot Fest announced it’s 2024 lineup, they also announced their move to Seatgeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois, about 10 miles from the festival’s home from the past few years of Douglass Park. This looked, at the time, to be a logistical

Earlier this week, it was announced that Death Angel was dropping off of the W.A.S.P. tour due to “unforeseen circumstances” and at the time, it was easy to think nothing of it. But after some comments made by drummer Will Carroll, there may be more to the band’s situation than they originally let on. In

Everyone thinks it’s cool to watch Inception on mushrooms, but not when you’re trying to follow the plot. Still, I think I had an easier time trying to understand what the hell was going on in Christopher Nolan’s trippy 2010 film while actually tripping than I had when trying to understand what the hell post-rock/doom

So many nu metal acts are rolling around out there, celebrating various milestones and anniversaries, but Linkin Park is still nowhere to be seen. Naturally, that’s because of the untimely death of vocalist Chester Bennington, but the band may not stay silent for long. In a recent post on his website, co-frontman Mike Shinoda hinted
