You ever get kicked out of something or break up with someone and go “yeah well I don’t need them anyway.” I’m starting to get the feeling that that’s how David Ellefson tends to react when hearing about Megadeth these days. During a recent interview with The Metal Voice, transcribed by Blabbermouth, it sounded a

In what may be one of the worst kept secrets in recent memory, Mötley Crüe announced via a statement on their Instagram account that John 5 will be taking over for Mick Mars on the band’s future tour dates. The post also comments on the founding guitarist’s decision to step down. “While change is never

Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the last few months, you’ve likely been bashed over the head with news and reactions related to the Pantera reunion/tribute act that’ll be hitting the road in the near future. To say excitement for hearing Pantera classics played by surviving members Rex Brown and Phil Anselmo and

Just days after announcing they’ll be embarking on a massive tour through South America and Europe next year, Mötley Crüe is now without a guitarist. Just recently, a representative for Mick Mars told Variety that his client could no longer handle the rigors that go along with extensive touring. “Mick Mars, co-founder and lead guitarist

Hey, remember when Five Finger Death Punch vocalist Ivan Moody dragged his kids out on stage at a recent show and announced that he would be hanging it up when it came to heavy metal? Sounded final, right? Well you should have known better because it turns out he’s not going anywhere at all. It

Australian metalcore outfit Parkway Drive are starting 2023 on foreign soil, as they’ve announced a 14-date run from California to Florida after a week on the Shiprocked cruise. Starting at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on January 31 and ending up in Orlando, Florida’s HeartSupport Festival on February 18, the band are coming to America

Diecast vocalist Paul Stoddard, who fronted the band for both Tearing Down Your Blue Skies in 2004 and Internal Revolution in 2006, has passed away. The news comes from drummer Dennis Pavia, who revealed the tragic news on Facebook. “I’m at a complete loss for words and absolutely crushed. You are a band mate, a friend, a brother… a

It’s been a minute since we had some new trippy prog metal from Elder, but their unique psychedelic stylings are coming back next month when their latest offering Initiate Passage is slated to come out. In recent days, the band released the new album’s first single “Endless Return” and damn it if it’s not a

Dead Cross is one band where the “supergroup” term feels appropriate. Beyond Mike Patton’s unreal vocal chops and Dave Lombardo’s legendary drumming, the riff-writing chemistry of guitarist Michael Crain and bassist Justin Pearson made their 2017 self-titled debut too much fun to resist. What’s more interesting is watching a band with associations ranging from Slayer

The holiday season means chestnuts roasting on an open fire, the slow creep of late-stage capitalism shopping rushes, and now, a special holiday show from deathcore powerhouse Lorna Shore. The band will be hosting A Lorna Shore Christmas on December 18 at The Welmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey. They will be joined by Shadow

This past week, Vio-lence announced somewhat cryptically that they are parting ways with guitarist Bobby Gustafson. In a social media post announcing the lineup change, the band say they parted ways due to “logistical difficulties that weigh too heavy to function in a productive manner.” “Vio-lence and Bobby Gustafson have agreed to part ways effective

Host are a new band featuring Nick Holmes on vocals and Greg Mackintosh on guitar, both of Paradise Lost fame. Folks are already stoked on this new endeavor, and they’ve been signed to Nuclear Blast Records. In addition to the signing, they will be dropping their debut album, IX, on February 24 of next year.

Rhythm video games have long been a great conduit for heavy metal. Thanks to our favorite genre’s fast pace, intricate playing style, and bombastic soundtrack, it’s much more riveting to play something going a million miles an hour that gets your blood pumping than some lame ass techno jam. So when a rhythm game called

Just when you thought it was safe to be a shitty person in Megadeth‘s Vic Rattlehead Cinematic Universe – or VRCU, as it were – a new music video shows the thrash band’s mascot getting even more revenge on more people doing shitty things. The new video for “Life In Hell,” released by the band

With the weekend ahead of us, we’ve managed to wrangle Will Ramos, of Lorna Shore, to join us for a very special end of the week episode! In today’s episode, we discuss if he remembers when he was taught to ride a bike, the first video game he ever defeated, and his opinion on if

Just when you thought the world’s stadiums were safe from middling performances and high ticket prices, the gents in Mötley Crüe announce yet another world tour – despite signing contracts that they’d never tour again. Joining them on this trip through Latin America and Europe will once again be Def Leppard. According to a joint

The world just lost an irreplaceable stoner metal band, as The Sword took to their social media accounts to announce they were putting an end to the band after 18 years. Though he didn’t offer a direct explanation as to why the band came to their conclusion to hang it up, frontman John D. Cronise

Unearth’s got a new album in the works, but founding member and guitarist Ken Susi won’t be on it. In fact, he won’t be attached to anything related to the band for the time being, as he recently revealed some “differences in opinion” are why he’s currently on an “extended break” from the metalcore band.

With a nearly sold out tour on the horizon and a new album titled Ashes Lie Still expected early next month, Aborted are primed to take no prisoners to close out 2022. With both those events in mind, the band released their latest single from the new album of the same name, Infinite Terror. As

When he’s not absolutely destroying it on stage or in the recording booth, Lorna Shore‘s Will Ramos seems like your typical 20-something. In addition to his love of crushingly heavy music and producing some of the meanest vocals out there, he’s a big fan of going outside and cruising along on his longboard. Our friends
