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

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.

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

Rock Fest 2023, which takes place in Wisconsin from July 13-15, has landed some pretty big headliners in the form of masked nonet Slipknot, reunited groove metal icons Pantera and radio metal staples Godsmack.

Hey, remember when Metallica dropped their first 72 Seasons single “Lux Aeterna” and it ruled? Now we’ve got a second single called “Screaming Suicide” and shocker – it also rules. “Screaming Suicide” clocks in at nearly six minutes and brings all that old-school thrash energy “Lux Aeterna” with a heaping side of snarly punk attitude.

Japanese pop-metal royalty Babymetal have returned with the latest single from their upcoming album The Other One, titled “Metal Kingdom.” The concept for The Other One revolves around a concept known as the Metalverse, where BabyMetal has experienced 10 different, parallel universes.

When Danzig originally announced his Danzig Sings Elvis cover album honoring the original King of Rock n’ Roll, nearly everyone agreed that it just made sense. The dude had made a career of sounding like a Satanic Elvis anyway. But as you might remember, we found the production quality a bit… lacking. So when Glenn
