I’m way late to board the Employed to Serve train, but I feel as if it hasn’t fully left the station; I can still jump on the back and hitch a ride, right? I got hip to the band’s last album, Eternal Forward Motion (2019) towards the end of its cycle, but I’m right here

Marilyn Manson (né Brian Warner) has agreed to turn himself into authorities to face two misdemeanor assault charges, CNN reports. The charges stem not from the deluge of recent allegations that the shock rocker abused multiple women, but from an August 2019 show at the Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, NH, during which Manson allegedly spit on

I’ve been really enjoying the recent Anthrax 40 for 40 retrospective fortieth anniversary video series the band has been releasing for the past month or so. Naturally, I’ve been revisiting all of Anthrax’s albums as they tick them off the list… and now that they’ve reached the John Bush era of the band — which

The kids of The O’Keefe Music Foundation, which has become known over the years for its endearing videos of young music students covering hard rock and metal tunes — including Rammstein, Danzig, Slipknot, Clutch, Tool and plenty of others — are back with a rousing rendition of the Sepultura classic “Roots Bloody Roots,” the de facto title track from 1996’s acclaimed

Earlier today, Metallica announced their plans for celebrating this year’s thirtieth anniversary of The Black Album, including a super-duper-extra-special deluxe edition as well as a project dubbed The Metallica Blacklist, which features “50+ artists spanning an unbelievably vast range of genres, generations, cultures, continents and more, each contributing a unique interpretation of their favorite Black Album cut.”  One of

Metallica have announced their plans for celebrating this year’s thirtieth anniversary of The Black Album, and fortunately, they’re way bigger than just a batch of “sonically enhanced” whiskey. First up: as they’ve done for the anniversaries of all their previous classics, the band will reissue Metallica in a super-duper-extra-special deluxe edition. Consisting of fourteen CDs,

I feel horrible for our Canadian friends. Despite the fact that life in Canada is, in many ways, often better than in the U.S., the country has had a real rough time with Covid-19. Not that the U.S. also hasn’t, but whereas the vaccination campaign here is going quite well, with 65% of adults over
