A lotta shit happened this past week. So much that it’s hard to even put it all into a single sentence, really. Ozzy retired from touring due to his ongoing health issues and that wasn’t even our top story. That shit’s just wild. Still, it turns out you gremlins love watching Vince Neil just be

Grind band .giffromgod just announced a new EP, Digital Red, their first new music since 2019’s approximation_of_a_human.

You can tell the folks in Chat Pile love their B-movie schlock, as the music video for their latest sincle “Tropical Beaches, Inc.” is chock full of it. Released ahead of their upcoming sold out tour with Lingua Ignota that’s set to kick off on February 17 in Portland, Oregon and come to an end

Let’s face it — our modern lives are cluttered with a ton of useless bullshit that will just be a major burden to our loved ones when we finally shuffle from this mortal coil. So much of that useless bullshit is plastic that we as a species have plastic floating around in our systems. We’re

Listen, Jack — we’ve all been there. You and your buddy Corn Pop are lookin’ to get your hands on some Rotting Christ tickets for the show down at the old amphitheater in town and when you finally go to check out, those $20 tickets ballooned to $40 or $50 a piece after fees. That

The Dave Mustaine show is headed across the pond this summer for a string of tour dates and various festivals. Megadeth‘s still out here supporting their 2022 album The Sick, The Dying, …and The Dead, so you should probably expect some songs from that release, as well as their classic songs. Megadeth’s stint in Europe

Listen, the world’s quickly going to shit because we humans can’t stop burning fossil fuels and as a result, soon enough more people are going to have beach front property. Unfortunately, our love of metal and huge tours contributes to that planetary downward spiral. According to a recent study shows metal had the fourth largest

When it comes to Mike Patton projects, one that deserves a helluva lot more praise and recognition than it currently gets is the indomitable Tomahawk. Also featuring the killer bass of Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Melvins, etc), the tell-tale twangy guitar playing of Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard), and the frenetic bombast of John

When Tulus’ Fandens Kall drops on February 17, it’s sure to delight even the most curmudgeonly black metal purists.

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.

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
