It’s been a crazy month for Polish death metallers Decapitated, what with members of the band distributing supplies to stranded Ukrainians at the border. But now, the band have good news: they’re releasing a new album this May! Decapitated’s new record will be called Cancer Culture, and will…ugh, really? Cancer Culture? I mean, it’s not

If you’re like me, then you have nightmares about board game nights. They always mean sitting around a bunch of family members you don’t particularly like or care about, listening to backwards-ass political opinions that were obviously cultivated on a Missouri dairy farm in the ’60s, and then being shamed every time you open your

Right now, Valerie Bertinelli is in the process of promoting her new book, Enough Already: Learning to Love The Way I Am Today. A big part of that book is her relationship with her ex-husband Eddie Van Halen, who tragically passed away in 2020. Now, Valerie has addressed the idea that she caused the band’s

Last week saw Swedish occult metal-lite act Ghost release IMPERA, their biggest and most heavily-hyped album yet. The record has been received favorably by fans, including our own Immodest Mouse, who gave the album a 4/5 horn review. Now, the band have been featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing the album’s first single “Call Me

Ever since he first joined the band, the identity of Slipknot percussionist Tortilla Man has been in question. Now, the band have officially confirmed his identity by announcing a Reddit AMA with him! Tortilla Man is in fact Michael Pfaff, as was long suspected. Pfaff plays keyboards in Shawn “Clown” Crahan’s side project, Dirty Little

Back in December, progressive groove metallers Meshuggah postponed their U.S. tour due to “a skin condition” among one of the members. Now, speaking to Rolling Stone, drummer Tomas Haake reveals the condition was his, and opens up about the health concerns surrounding it. In the interview, Haake reveals that he has eczema inside of his

Earlier this month, melodeath legends Omnium Gatherum wowed fans at Come And Take It Live in Austin, TX. Along for the ride were technical wizards Allegaeon, road dogs Black Crown Initiate, Nacogdoches crushers Spiral Eye, and Austin’s own Whore of Bethlehem.  The gig was captured in blazing detail by our own Drew Nesbitt of Njorodynphoto.

Alternate universes are always fun, if not slightly terrifying to think about. In fact, if it weren’t for alternate universes, the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe would fall on its face faster than Gene Simmons trying to walk onstage. But in one of those universes, it’s Raven who we’d all be talking about instead of Metallica.

For many of us, God Forbid were the most exciting band of the late-’90s/early-2000s New Wave of American Heavy Metal. More anguished, complex, and full-on metal than some of their peers, the band were like no other, and continue to be the movement’s under-praised champions. Well, now it looks like fans will once more get

In the words of legendary Russian rock star Boris Grebenshchikov: «Нет лиц у тех, кто против; лиц у тех, кто с нами. Не смей подходить, пока не скажешь – кто ты такой» — “Those who are ‘against’ are faceless; faces are for those who are with us. Don’t dare approach while you have not said

Do you know why summer is so hot? It’s because Satan is warming up the Earth so people will go outside and sin more. Sure, that’s that’s a lie I just made up, but I’ll still bet $5 a church somewhere in Missouri has said it. The truth, however, is that summer is so hot

From the get-go, it’s been clear that Rob Zombie‘s adaptation of TV horror-comedy The Munsters was going to be a big production. From his blueprints of the Munster family home at 1313 Mockingbird Lane to his elaborate costume designs, Zombie’s teased audiences with just how much effort (and money, damn…) is going into this film. Now, Rob

This week, Periphery guitarist Mark Holcomb joins the show! We discuss the debut full-length album from his project Haunted Shores, how the band’s formation led to him join Periphery, the riff graveyard that he uses to create songs, and on treating music for Haunted Shores like a 9-to-5 job. We also talk about how to

You could be forgiven for not having heard of Distention before. Why, you might ask? Well, that’s because the band has officially been around for one week. So why then, should you care? You should care because 1) this shit rips, and 2) Distention features Darren Liwen (ex-The Kennedy Veil), Nick Padovani (Equipoise), Dylan Potts

Last year, aging rap-rocker Kid Rock released a music video for his song with Canadian rockers Monster Truck, titled “Don’t Tell Me How to Live.” The video was a poorly-made conservative meme that made Kid Rock look like a dad on Facebook from five years ago; Kid Rock would later go on to act as

Everyone loves a good comeback, right? Well, it looks like Alexisonfire sure do, and to prove it, they’ve announced Otherness, their first studio album in 13 years, and a new single, “Sweet Dreams of Otherness,” to boot. The songwriting on “Sweet Dreams of Otherness” borrows elements of desert psychedelic rock to make for a relaxing,

So far, Ghost’s new album IMPERA has received generally favorable reviews (including a 4/5 horn review from our own Immodest Mouse). Now, the band are broadcasting their album release stream, Live from The Ministry, and you can watch for free below. We know Ghost is a divisive band, and by even posting this we’re inciting

We’ve been stoked for Rob Zombie‘s take on the horror-comedy show The Munsters for a while now. But we’re a little stunned to learn that the Peacock-hosted adaptation will be rated PG! According to Bloody Disgusting, the film has landed a solid PG rating for: “Macabre and suggestive material, scary images and language.” PG?! REALLY?!

Ghost always smack of ’80s horror movies, when the special effects finally caught up with the public’s sick thoughts and horrific fantasies. Listening to their music, one can hear the upbeat anthems, slow power ballads, and pop-influenced melodies of those first glimpses into animatronics, fake blood, and foam latex. Despite being one of modern metal’s

Last month, melodic death metal standard-setters Dark Tranquility laid siege to Austin, Texas. Along for the ride were Canadian steamroller crew Kataklysm, German face-rippers Nailed to Obscurity, and local death metallers Hinayana. The gig was captured in glorious detail by our own Drew Nesbitt of Njorodynphoto. Behold: Hinayana Nailed to Obscurity Kataklysm Dark Tranquility
