When one thinks of Korn‘s Jonathan Davis, one assumes that the track which made him a lifelong rocker was by The Cure, or Depeche Mode, or at the latest Nine Inch Nails. But in a new interview, the nu-metal frontman has revealed that it was something a little more old-school which led him to the

According to a post on frontman David Draiman‘s Instagram today, Disturbed have wrapped up work on their new album. He also revealed what appear to be the song titles for the new record — which make us wonder if it’s a covers album. Why? Well, look at the song titles, as per the hot tamales

At this point, there is a short list of metal bands who have the means and agency to do literally whatever the fuck they want, and Slipknot are near the top of it. The nine-assed sonic sex scorpion have proved time and time again that they have their finger on the pulse of the maggots,

Being a fan of extreme metal is a little like being a hardcore Tolkien reader or Star Wars fan, in that you find out how the hell to pronounce some really bizarre words (that and losing your virginity is like climbing K2). Metalheads may not be able to tell you who won the War of

It’s no secret that we like ourselves a little drink now and then — and by that, we mean that our Editor In Chief can take down seven or eight High Lifes with frightening ease (High Lives?). The truth is that life’s a bummer, and the gargle’s anesthetic effects keep us from wanting to scream

It’s been a hot second since we’ve heard from Canadian screamo band Silverstein. But now, the band are back with a new single titled “Die Alone” featuring Comeback Kid‘s Andrew Neufeld, which you can hear below. Says Silverstein frontman Shane Told of the track: “Our roots are in fast hardcore and punk, it’s a style

We’d follow German thrashers Kreator into the breach any day. The band’s music is consistently fucking awesome, and their message is incredibly wholesome despite the fact that they write songs which sound like Lucifer’s proclamation to the rebel angels in Paradise Lost. Now, the band have dropped a new single from their upcoming album Hate

Much like nu-metal, it appears that pop-punk is back in action. Rock’s Self-Appointed Savior has topped the charts with his own take on the genre, leading millions to start claiming that they were always down with Good Charlotte. Now, as pink hair dye, pink guitars, and slip-on Vans become cultural icons instead of relics, one

There’s a reason Mantar are not the biggest band in the world, despite writing some of the catchiest rock songs you’ll hear this side of our mortal coil. The German duo work hard to produce music that is both compelling and incredibly ugly on its face — they’re sort of our generation’s Eyehategod — and

At the 2018 Reading and Leeds Festival, Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley performed the Linkin Park track “Faint” alongside Mike Shinoda. This apparently led many to question whether or not Whibley could be a replacement for late singer Chester Bennington in Linkin Park. But Whibley is apparently smarter than those people, having responded to the

In a boldly honest move, Australian metalcore act Parkway Drive have canceled their upcoming North American tour with Hatebreed, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Stick To Your Guns in order to focus on internal conflicts within the band. We know this, because they straight-up told everyone. Here’s the statement the band have issued: “Dear friends,

Though power metallers Dragonforce already had some umph behind them when their track “Through the Fire and the Flames” was used in Guitar Hero, its appearance in the game was what vaulted them into households around the world. But now, in a new Tiktok video, guitarist Herman Li reveals how much the band got paid

Update: According to Richie Faulkner in an interview with East Coast Live, the “non-COVID related illness” that canceled the band’s Lowell, MA, show is a cold in Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford. However, Richie has made it clear that the band will make their next show in Halifax, saying (as transcribed by Blabbermouth): “We’re resting

Do we have any Seer fans in the house? Canadian band? Anyone? And Wormwitch, what about them? Any fans? I’ve heard these names before, but I don’t know them at all. And now, I’ll only ever know them as bands that have featured the guys from Vital Spirit, because holy shit, Vital Spirit’s upcoming debut

Lord Ahriman of satanic black metallers Dark Funeral is our guest this week! We discuss his thoughts on Shakespeare and memorable theatrical performances, why the rhythms on the band’s new album We Are The Apocalypse were a primary focus, and being unable to leave Cancun, Mexico, when the pandemic hit the world. We also talk about how

Dream Theater! Aw, what the FUCK? Yup, Dream Theater won this year’s Best Metal Performance Grammy for their track “The Alien.” This is especially wack because everyone knows that if anyone really should have won this year’s Best Metal Performance Grammy, it should’ve been Gojira. The other nominees for this year’s award were as follows:

Has anyone reading this ever tried Viagra? I have not, and I’ve always wondered what it’s like (I mean, besides being like just having a boner). But something I’ll put out there is that I don’t think there should be a stigma attached to its use. So what if you need some pep to get

Whenever a rock star’s death in any way involves drugs or alcohol, there is a body of genre fans that feels the need to chime in with something along the lines of, Sucks, but fuck you for killing yourself with that garbage. Instead of humanizing their fallen idols, or looking at what got them to

Man, at times The Crow feels unrescuable as a property. This is in part due to how many people have tried to put their spin on it — remember when Rob Zombie was going to write a version? — and partly because the original film is such a masterpiece of style. Even if you hate

Traditional heavy metalers Haunt have announced their newest album called Windows of Your Heart, which’ll be their seventh full-length record. They have released a lyric video for for the title track to make the deal just a little sweeter. The album will feature a new line-up for the Fresno, CA, act, consisting of singer/guitarist Trevor
