Cybergrind unit Thotcrime are pushing extreme music in weird new ways on their album D1G1T4L_DR1FT, set for release later this month via Prosthetic Records.

It’s spoopy season once again and horror punk outfit Wednesday 13 released a new single and music video for their rock anthem “Good Day to Be a Bad Guy,” off the upcoming Horrifier album.

In the latest edition of “hey, that’s a metal dude in a non-metal situation,” Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe was a special guest to discuss Ecuadorean rainforest conservation efforts during a recent episode of Pattrn on The Weather Channel.

System of a Down frontman and solo artist in his own right Serj Tankian is putting out an avant-garde, more electronic solo album later this month and as such, he’s slowly releasing a new track from the EP Perplex Cities as a result.

Talk about one hell of a night of metal – the dudes in Death Angel, Exodus, and Testament tore it up in the City of Saints this past Friday, giving the people of Quebec and the surrounding area a reason to have a sore neck the next day. Thanks to the incredibly talented Mihaela Petrescu,

Love ’em or hate ’em, Ghost manages to put out some catchy-ass tunes designed to keep (some) metal fans interested while dragging the mainstream over into the dark.

It’s hard to imagine these days, but Metallica was once a San Francisco bay area band of fierce young dudes full piss and vinegar, ready to take over the world.

Last week, the boys in hard rock Australian-American supergroup The Dead Daisies were joined by the classic glam metal stylings of Enuff Z’nuff to rock the hell out of Portland, Oregon’s Bossanova Ballroom.

For a band who have cemented their image on the back of shock and awe tactics and imagery, almost nothing in their storied past seems to have raised more alarm within the Slipknot fanbase than calling an album The End, So Far. Slipknot themselves were quick to call any talk of hanging up the masks

After seven studio albums, their own international festival, multiple Grammy nominations and a win under their belt, Slipknot‘s long been a force to be reckoned with in the more mainstream side of metal.
