In a recent interview with mxdwn, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian revealed that Worship Music could have sounded a LOT different if Mike Patton joined the band. According to Ian, both Anthrax and Faith No More were playing a festival in Australia when he drunkenly asked Patton to front the seminal thrash band. “I had asked

If slow and steady wins the race, then KEN Mode‘s newest single “Unresponsive” off their eighth studio effort NULL is the sludge/noise metal equivalent of Usain Bolt. Unrelenting and pulsing, “Unresponsive” is about as minimalist as you can get without sounding boring. That’s mostly thanks in part to frontman and spit geyser (watch the video,

September is right around the corner and for our school-age readers, that means the end of summer and a return to the grind that only public schooling can provide. And while that sucks now, just remember that life only becomes an endless rat race of a grind that only ends when you’re either fortunate to

If you’ve either spent time on TikTok or its knockoff version, Facebook Reels, then you’ve probably seen users taking Ghost’s “Mary on a Cross” from Seven Inches of Satanic Panic for their posts. Usually it’s to convey a piece of art that changed their lives, or something to that effect. Well, ever the businessman, Tobias

Earlier this week, we told you about the special edition vinyl pressing of Dopesmoker that has a literal freaking cannabis leaf in it. We thought that was about the extent of our Sleep news for the week, but thankfully, that’s not the case. Several months after its removal from music streaming services once the rights

There’s a lot of consternation when it comes to the upcoming Pantera tour and whether or not it actually builds upon or taints the band’s legacy and the legacy of “Dimebag” Darrell Lance Abbott and Vinnie Paul Abbott. Earlier today, one person that was very close to the late guitar god was announced that he’s

Did you miss out on the first leg of the Cavalera brothers’ Return Beneath Rise tour? Wish you got to hear classic songs from the classic 1989 banger Beneath the Remains and the 1991 fan-favorite Arise? Well, you may have just gotten your second chance, as Max and Igor announced earlier today that they’ve secured

Hey there. We have fun here right? We got the jokes and biting commentary on the metal music you love or love to hate, after all. But you know what’s not funny or something that should be taken lightly? Equality. We’ve always had a view that metal is for everybody — and we hope you

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A man takes a whole buncha acid and goes off to frolic in a nearby field. Eventually he starts tripping balls and ends up talking to a horse. For an hour. That’s the tale heavy metal’s “Prince of Darkness” Ozzy Osborne told the Daily Star earlier this week

Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the radio in the vicinity of a red state or county, it looks like new Nickelback music is gearing up to assault your sensibilities. The perpetually maligned Canadian rockers recently posted a quick clip of what appears to be new music and it actually sounds

Fans of long-running Swedish gothic prog metal band Katatonia for the first time in five years and they’re bringing The Ocean and Cellar Darling along for the ride. Vocalist Jonas Renske said the band was excited to head back to the U.S. and Canada after such a long hiatus, calling their return “way overdue.” “North

Growing up in New York in the 1980’s was amazing for so many reasons. Times Square was where I could get a fake ID in under an hour, as much booze as I wanted, and a complete education in human sexuality. And all of this before I even turned 14 years old! The 80’s, of

Sad news coming out of the Cradle of Filth camp today, as Stuart Anstis, one of the band’s former guitarists, passed away. He was 48 years old and is survived by his wife Antoinette. There’s no further information available at this time regarding any potential cause of death. News of his passing was only made

Beyond the music, the most fascinating thing about Slipknot is the band’s intense and total dedication to the aesthetic around the music. Sure, we know what Corey Taylor looks like unmasked and we know more about the members’ personal lives than we did at the turn of the millennium, but no one has a flair

Seems like everyone has something to say about the impending Pantera shows, featuring Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante as fill-ins for the late Abbott brothers. Even people that don’t really have a connection to the band at all are tossing their thoughts out into the world, just as Dave “Snake” Sabo recently did. When he’s

When most people think of black metal, they think of pasty whiteScandinavian guys shrieking about topics like pagan rites, death,rebirth, and nature in the middle of the woods. It’s about fighting back against cultural oppression (when it’s not rooted in outright bigotry). You know who else has been oppressed and forced to forget their originswhile

Another week, another several days of the whole “will they or won’t they” post dates for this damn Pantera reunion tour so we can stop speculating. I mean seriously, how much teasing are they going to do until we just can’t take it anymore?! Eh, whatever. Here’s the rest of the past week’s stories that

Man, to say things have been a little rocky for the Black Label Society and Anthrax co-headlining tour is becoming a bit of an understatement. After losing Anthrax to unexpected and unexplained “medical concerns” for two shows, the tour was forced to cancel last night’s entire show in Rochester, New York because the stage was

Hey, have you heard “Cowboys From Hell?” Yeah? Then you already know what you’re gonna hear out of Phil Anselmo‘s Louisana drawl in the surprise Instagram post that hit the internet roughly an hour ago. In that time, the post has garnered nearly 14,000 likes and more than 300 comments. Now, we’re not willing to

Hailing from the Iberian Peninsula, black/death practitioners Noctem keep the black flame burning in sound and style on their new record, Credo Certe Ne Cras. Although the record isn’t out for a couple months, MetalSucks has the lowdown on the video for the title track, which you can watch below. Like the previously released “We
