For the first time in 15 years, cult favorite desert/stoner rock outfit Hermano are back with not just a new single, titled “Breathe”, but an entirely new album dubbed when the moon was high… due out on October 4 via Ripple Music. Comprised of a veritable who’s who of desert rock trailblazers, Hermano is vocalist

So I gotta be honest with you folks. When I first heard that Marilyn Manson dropped his new track “As Sick As The Secrets Within”, I immediately imagined a scenario where we were going to get a defiant, fire and brimstone, scorched earth song for his return. Having grown up during the Antichrist Superstar era

Have you ever wondered why long-time Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis holds his drumsticks upside down? Well, probably not, unless you’re a drummer yourself, and even then you’d probably have to be watching fairly closely to notice. Still, it’s an odd quirk that some have noticed and have wanted answers for. Well, now you have

If you’ve been following the career of ex-Every Time I Die frontman Keith Buckley, then you’re probably extremely familiar with his new metallic hardcore act Many Eyes. We’ve heard a handful of tracks from the group and seen them join various tours over the last few months. Well, it turns out the boys in Many

In the two years since the release of their latest album Deceivers, Swedish extreme metal outfit Arch Enemy has been busy on the road, touring all over the place. Well, it looks like we might be on the cusp of a new album cycle for the band, as they released “Dream Stealer” earlier today. Mixed

There’s an old adage that goes “the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.” If there’s ever been an example in the metal world of justice taking fucking forever to take place, look no further than the case of Iced Earth guitarist turned insurrectionist Jon Schaffer. That motherfucker’s been the focus of a

For two magical nights in Albany, New York, local boys The Acacia Strain will be back in town and headlining two special holiday shows at Empire Live this December. Both dates will be a who’s-who of death metal that fans of the genre won’t want to miss at all. Dubbed the “Tune Low Die Slow

With his long run on the road as a solo artist now behind him, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson released a new music video to the song “Resurrection Man” that takes a look back at the shows that were. Just last week, he released the limited edition CD of the track as a single, which

You ever have someone go to apologize for something they said or did but when they began talking, you realized they weren’t really apologizing? Like it was an apology but a half-hearted one? That’s kinda the vibe that came off of the recent episode of The Osbournes podcast when the Osbourne clan decided to open

When a band is so influential that they’re often considered one of the founding pillars of an entire subgenre, that’s a big fucking deal. But when they’re so big that they’re credited with a style of music that most people wouldn’t really associate them with, then you know that’s a massive band. Apparently, All That

Mushroomhead lifer Steve “Skinny” Felton joined the podcast this week! We are all in on the latest album from Mushroomhead titled Call The Devil, due out August 9!

Blood Incantation has already opened the bloody gates of new music after sharing the wonder news of their upcoming album Absolute Elsewhere but they’re adding to it by announcing a new documentary that shows what the whole process was like for them. All Gates Open: In Search Of Absolute Elsewhere is a 73-minute feature film

What’s more metal than coming back from the dead?! I don’t even mean this in a religious way, but that’s a whole other story. Not everything brutal has to come by way of dirginess and grimy blast beats. Just ask Robert Downey Jr., because that’s apparently what he’s doing with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He

Let’s be honest, I think we’ve all gotten pretty damn tired of hearing Serj Tankian talk about leaving System of a Down. We get it, you’ve been over it bro. After releasing his memoir and a previously unshared SOAD track as his first little toe dips into solo successes, he’s given us “Justice Will Shine

With just a few days left before it’s set to kick off, organizers for this year’s Loud As Hell Open Air in Canada announced the last minute addition of a whole slew of additional bands. Boasting an already beefy lineup, the festival will now also feature performances by Anciients, Art Of Attrition, Exterminatus, and Pound

Our buddies over at Metal Injection are putting on one hell of a festival later this year and I honestly think the full weekend passes are worth it. But life can sometimes get in the way, things come up, or you’re just too old to enjoy so much metal without hurting for multiple days afterward.

It’s already been 20 years since the zombie flick Shaun Of The Dead was released!? Are you fucking serious?! Oh god……… ….. Okay, existential crisis over…ish. According to the announcement earlier today, the classic Edgar Wright film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will return to theaters on August 29 at AMC Theaters everywhere. If
