Next year is “going to be a big year for Baroness,” frontman John Baizley said in a recent interview with Loudwire.

The time is drawing near for the world to finally see what Pantera with Charlie Benante behind the kit and Zakk Wylde on guitar will sound like. Whether you’re in the “who cares” camp or the “this isn’t really Pantera” group or you’re stoked as hell, there’s a general level of excitement surrounding the band’s

Earlier this month, concertgoers at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, California were surprised during the Rob Zombie set that not only was original guitarist Mike Riggs back in the fold, but John 5 was nowhere to be seen. At the time, people were left to speculate what this meant for Zombie and John 5, who’d

Make Then Suffer have a new lineup featuring a new member after their latest clean vocalist and keyboardist was asked to leave due to sexual assault allegations.

This past Friday on WWE Smackdown, fans were given a taste of a new Code Orange track that’s currently being used as the entrance theme for Bray Wyatt. The wrestler had been off the roster since last July, after higher ups at the company went on a run of releasing a slew of performers from

There are stories where the jokes just write themselves and then there are stories where it’s so easy, it’s just not even worth it. This is one is more of the second kind. During last night’s Five Finger Death Punch show in Denver, Colorado, frontman Ivan Moody announced that he was “retiring from heavy metal”

Some people just have too much time, energy, money, or a combination of all three. While those things can often manifest into some unhealthy extremes, like adherence to Q-Anon or getting unhealthily obsessed with collectible tchotchkes, it sometimes results in an insanely impressive display of drones, lights, and Metallica‘s iconic song off the Stranger Things

It’s been 11 years since he last shared the stage with Judas Priest, but K.K. Downing is going to once again don the leather and shred on some classic heavy metal during the band’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

We considered that this may be coming down the pipe earlier this week and we were right. Damn straight we were right – earlier today, Gojira released their new single “Our Time is Now,’ a crushing, groovy track that sees our four favorite Frenchmen one again kicking some major ass. This is the band’s first

As a member of Slipknot, Jim Root‘s guitar playing has been a major contributing factor to the band’s success. Yet leading up to the release of the band’s latest offering The End, So Far, Root admitted that he “didn’t have a ton of input” into the music. And while there was a lot of talk

Good news from New York City: metallic hardcore legends All Out War are back with album number eight, Celestial Rot, and it is nothing shy of a total assbeater. The lead single, “Glorious Devastation,” has a blackened layer that covers All Out War’s core sound of Slayer meets Cro-Mags, vocalist Mike Score‘s voice somewhere between

We’re more than two months away from that magical time of year when people get and give cool shit for each other, eat a crazy amount of carbs, and get way too inebriated to celebrate yet another revolution around the sun. And while we haven’t even gotten to celebrate Samhain, we’re already in the holiday

There are few bands that called New York City home in the late ’80s that hit as hard or as loud as Unsane. The trio’s uncompromising approach to live performances and their punchy, heavy mix of punk and metal serve as the DNA for many of today’s noise metal acts and starting next February, the

Hope you’re ready for some new music from the heaviest quartet of Frenchmen this side of the globe, as we’re very likely going to get a new Gojira track in the coming days.

The term could also be used to describe the epic beat downs Einstein delivers

The ongoing psuedo-back-and-forth between Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine and former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson continues, as the latter elaborates on what it was like dealing with a bandmate consumed by vengeance and jealousy.

In a new video posted to Instagram, Godsmack singer Sully Erna explained his long absence from social media.

He said, as transcribed via Blabbermouth: “Okay,

If you ever meet Incubus, do not call them nu metal. Not only is it a point of contention for the band, it downright hurts their feelings. In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd opened up about just how not into that categorization he is. “I thought it was terrible. I

There’s no doubt that the immortal King Diamond has had a successful career, but during a recent interview he revealed that Metallica‘s love of his music landed him a sweet new sports car.
