The changes keep coming for thrashy death metal outfit Nervosa this year, as not only are they without a drummer and they added a second guitarist in Helena Kotina, but now they’ve got a new vocalist working on their next record after Diva Satanica stepped down. In an Instagram post earlier this past Friday, Nervosa

There is all kinds of metal spoof and parody gold you can find if you search long enough on the internet, and one of the best sketches is definitely Ben Stiller and Bob Odenkirk parodying Metallica‘s “Enter Sandman.” [embedded content] The sketch comes from a 1992 episode of The Ben Stiller Show and also features,

Love them or hate them, Linkin Park‘s songs live rent-free in almost every millennial’s brain. Now, the release of their 2003 record Meteora is coming up, and a teaser on the band’s website foretells something big. [embedded content] As you can see here, the band made their website temporarily look like an old-school PC. Clicking

You can check out the first track from it, “The Last Day of Serenity,” now. [embedded content] This is the band’s third full-length record, and it features 16 short (some

Throw a middle finger to the last few days — it’s the weekend and your boss, your coworkers, and the obscenely large amount of unread emails in your work email inbox have zero power over you today. Saturdays are alright for three things: inebriation (within moderation), hangin’ out with pals, and fightin’. Actually, add a

I dunno what it is about Blue Ridge Rock Festival, but it seems like it’s the metal version of the fountain of youth, as this year’s four-day affair will host a special reunion show of Job For A Cowboy. Organizers are saying it’s going to be the band’s first show in seven years. As you

Last week, we learned of the insanely enviable news that the west coast was going to get a string of Mr. Bungle and Melvins shows this May. While the majority of us over on the east coast watch on in envy, it turns out that demand was so high that they added two more dates

Look out, Gumby — the claymation world got a little heavier today with the release of the latest The Convalescence single and music video for “No Survivors.” Shot entirely through clay animation, the video is a unique and quirky look into what a heavy metal video could be. Vocalist Keith Wampler said the classic sci-fi

We’re nearly a month out from the release of Enslaved’s 16th studio effort Heimdal, but today marks the release of their latest single and accompanying music video, “Forest Dweller.” As you’ll hear in the track below, “Forest Dweller” is yet another progressive black metal banger, with enough epic visuals attached to the song to match

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Def Leppard vocalist Joe Elliott got possessed by Ghost’s “Spillways” at a bar? And then after getting possessed and drawing a bunch of triangles, he came back with a vinyl version of “Spillways” featuring his own vocals? Me either. But that’s what happened, and now

Earlier this month we learned that rising star deathcore outfit Lorna Shore were going to be hitting the road on the ‘Mega-Monsters Tour.’ You’d think that would be enough for the band, but you’d be wrong. Moments ago, Will Ramos and the guys announced yet another leg of their own ‘Pain Remains Tour’ that’s set

Progressive metal outfit Ne Obliviscaris dropped what they’re calling an “emotionally charged single and music video” earlier today with the release of “Graal.” Set for release as part of their forthcoming album Exul, due on March 24 via Seasons of Mist, the band says the song is about the “inner journey and struggle to understand

Roughly 16 years ago, the world was introduced to a guitar slinging, coffee swilling, multi-dimensional terror known as Ziltoid the Omniscient. His quirks, his story, and his quest for dominance was the brainchild of heavy metal madman and seemingly all around nice dude, Devin Townsend. Now, after two albums and some hilarious YouTube shorts, Ziltoid

As forefathers of thrash metal, New Jersey-based metal outfit Overkill predates the likes of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth, aka “The Big Four of Thrash Metal.” Even after 19 studio offerings (soon to be 20 with the release of Scorched), Overkill is still sometimes overlooked. But to their undying fans, the band means oh so

For the first time since 2004, Ipecac Records is bundling some of the biggest bands on their roster for a seven-date romp around the Western U.S., as Mr. Bungle and the Melvins help resurrect the storied “Geek Show Tour.” When it comes to the tour, Mike Patton said the prospect of getting to share the

Thrash icons Heathen are going on a U.S. tour this spring with Canadian band Arrival of Autumn in tow.

Horizon Ignited dropped the single “Carry Me,” previously only available on the vinyl version of their latest album, Towards The Dying Lands.

Ha, you thought you were done hearing about Corey Mother Fuckin’ Taylor because the Slipknot album cycle is more or less over. Well, you’re wrong because social media posts have confirmed that Taylor is back in the studio to work on the follow-up to his last solo record, CMFT. Taylor bassist Eliot Lorango confirmed the
