Having just released their fourth album Data Diamond this past Friday, progressive metal duo Four Stroke Baron have released their latest single “1000 Threads,” along with its accompanying music video. Like a lot of prog metal acts out there, this single follows a narrative arc they’ve established in previous releases. Taking place as part three

Get it? It’s a Magic: The Gathering joke in the headline. Frozen Soul encourage people to play Magic in the pit. Anyways… The band recently announced that they’d be touring North America later this summer with Creeping Death, Gates to Hell, and Enforced. Just on the merit of those bands, this is going to be

Another week, another batch of new songs added to the weekly playlist. A whole slew of bangers came out over the last couple of weeks, so a lot of those tracks are featured in our list of 50 songs. We’ve got everything from 200 Stab Wounds’ new track “Ride the Flatline” to Babymetal/Electric Callboy’s “RATATATA”.

System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian recently scored a new Netflix documentary series about the rise of a white-supremacist, fascist regime with the subtitle Evil on Trial. No, it’s not about Donald Trump’s recent hush money trial, but rather about the rise of Hitler’s Nazi party. According to Metal Injection, the documentary series, which

Ohio-based metalcore act, Miss May I, hold the distinction of being one of those rare metal bands that have kept all their original members, other than having briefly lost bassist Ryan Neff from 2007 through 2009 when he returned to the band. Well, their streak ends now, because both of the band’s guitarists, B.J. Stead

In the 2000s, nü-metal darlings Papa Roach were living the dream, proving that stardom is in fact possible and that maybe someday you, too, could become famous for slapping an Iron Maiden riff over a Green Day song and being like “I made that.” But, early in their career, some bands were apparently more supportive

Former Nile member Dallas Toler-Wade is turning 50 years old next Thursday and when you combine that with the fact that his current band Narcotic Wasteland‘s debut album turned 10 years old this year, you’ve got the makings of a bombastic summer tour. To celebrate both occasions, Narcotic Wasteland dropped a caustic, pissed off new

Though it may not sound like it to your grandma, you and I both know that the screaming that goes on in modern death metal is an incredibly impressive thing to witness. Sure, anyone can yell — but to commit your voice to the type of guttural lows, desiccated fry screams, and shrieking highs needed

It’s been a minute since New Jersey deathcore outfit Fit For An Autopsy put out new music, but it’s looking like something’s a-brewin’ in the studio. According to a post earlier today on the band’s Instagram page, they’re working on “LP7”, or in layman’s terms, work on their seventh full-length album is officially underway. Naturally

It’s been no secret for a long time now that southern/stoner/crossover metal giants Corrosion of Conformity were working on their follow up to 2018’s No Cross No Crown. Various members have said as much in multiple interviews and we’ve even seen some behind the scenes footage from the studio. Everything points to new tunes from

For the first time in five years, technical death metal outfit Nile are returning with a brand new album titled The Underworld Awaits Us. Just as with every other band and their album announcements, they dropped a new single and all I can say is ‘holy massive title, Batman!’ I’m not being hyperbolic, either. When

There are way too many “what if” scenarios in metal, especially among former bandmates that never buried the hatchet before someone passed away. It’s a sad and completely avoidable scenario, but it happens. Earlier this month, legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne said he felt the band’s legacy ended in an “unfinished” manner when they

Yet another tour was announced earlier today and it seems like if you’re a fan of that post-hardcore/metalcore sound, then this run’s for you. That’s because Dayseeker are going on their ‘Dark Sun Protocol’ North American tour later this year with Alphawolf, Catch Your Breath, and Kingdom of Giants. Starting from August 27 in Dallas,

Ever since his passing, the late Ronnie James Dio’s memory has been celebrated in a wide range of ways. One such effort has been the Rock for Ronnie benefit concert, with various metal musicians and bands getting together to play some killer music and raise some money for the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and

Few things will give you a more bleak outlook on humanity than its own sordid, blood-soaked history. Mankind is a savage entity with the capacity to be as great as it is terrible; how appropriate, then, that one of the most effective ways to commemorate and immortalize some of our lowest moments, defining though they

After months away from the spotlight (barring a few performances here and there), Metallica are back on the road for their ongoing M72 World Tour. With the first two stops of this run taking place in Munich, Germany, there was always going to be a chance that the guys were going to break out an

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a renowned institution dedicated to memorializing the greatest artists in the history of rock music. But it has a secondary function which is to fuel pointless controversies within rock music. You’ll remember the time in 2007 when Fox News invented a controversy over their claim that the

Childbirth is said to be the most painful experience that a human can experience, and it’s a pain that nobody assigned male at birth can ever really understand. Except for Disturbed guitarist Dan Donegan, apparently, as he thinks that his gout is worse. In a recent interview with Instagram Live on a drive back from

New Jersey thrash metal legends Overkill just finished scorching Latin America, so now it’s time to scorch Europe. According to Blabbermouth, after wrapping up their Latin American tour to support their 2023 album Scorched in São Paulo, Brazil at Summer Breeze Open Air Brasil, the band announced a string of European tour dates for August

Kenneth “K.K.” Downing is not technically a founding member of Judas Priest, but only because none of the true founding members of the band still remain. Downing was, however, part of one of the earliest incarnations of the band, the first to record an album with the band, and he appeared on every Judas Priest
