Shit has not been going great for one of the two vocalists in Crazy Town.

According to

Up-and-coming brutal band Predatory Void just released a new video for “Funerary Vision.” The song is from their album released earlier this month, Seven Keys to the Discomfort of Being, out via Century Media.

Fires In The Distance dropped their second album, Air Not Meant For Us, last week via Prosthetic Records.

200 Stab Wounds dropped two tracks on a seven-inch through Metal Blade Records featuring the tracks “Masters Of Morbidity” and “Fatal Reality.” The masters of raw, old-school-tinged death metal with a more-than-subtle heavy kick have already shared the song “Masters Of Morbidity,” but “Fatal Reality” is just now seeing the light of day. Get a

Next weekend was supposed to be a triumphant return to form for Bamboozle at Atlantic City’s Bader Field, but all that got canned at the very last minute after city officials allege the organizer failed submit the paperwork necessary to receive its final permits before the city’s deadline. No permits = no show. Do not

A pair of American death metal bands are planning a quick offensive excursion into the northern wastes of Canada this summer in a bid to spread the sort of destructive riffs and killer tunes that only Massacre and Narcotic Wasteland can provide. For three days in August, the two bands will hit three venues in

Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is a man of many tastes. He loves horror movies, can surf the shit out of some waves, and apparently has the best weed in metal. Yet there’s one thing he gets ridiculed time and time again for not just loving, but over-relying upon: his wah pedal. Well, it turns

We’re a little more than 20 games (out of 162) into the 2023 baseball season and interest in a much faster and offensive game has made this one of the more exciting moments in the sport for a loooong time. It’s almost enough for an enterprising metal band with tangential ties to the sport and

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d always assumed that when you attend a rock show of any kind, there’s always a chance that a mosh could break out or someone could come sailing over you as they crowd surf to the front. It’s a risk you take when you take your place on the floor.

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Frenetic Atlanta-based mathcore septet The Callous Daoboys are not only officially recording their third EP, but they’re doing so with a new drummer. Just about an hour ago the band tweeted a photo of Marty Hague behind the kit during said recording session.

Monochrome and drenched in blood, the latest music video and single from blackened heavy metal band Cloak dropped earlier today, giving fans a taste of their upcoming third full-length album Black Flame Eternal. As the album’s final single before its release on May 26, the band said they deliberately chose this track as the last

If you’re looking for a track so heavy that the band considers it a “weapons test of testicular fortitude” to close out your Tuesday afternoon, look no further than the latest single from Kublai Khan TX, titled “Theory of Mind.” In their press release about the new track, the band said it was indicative of

If you’ve been on Twitter over the last week, you probably noticed that all those blue verification check marks are gone. That’s because Twitter CEO and totally smart business man who didn’t benefit from his father’s South Africa apartheid-era emerald mine Elon Musk killed that feature on the memeworthy day of 4/20. You know, because

It’s getting harder and harder to expect a happy ending for former Jackass star and skateboarder Bam Margera. After multiple stints in rehab and friends literally doing whatever they can to try to help him clean up his act, he’s now on the run from Pennsylvania police following an altercation with his family. According to

Brutal metalcore masters Bleeding Through just unleashed a new song, “War Time.” This is the first teaser of new material they are working on. Last year, Brandan Schieppati announced the band’s plan to make new music via Instagram, and in late December, they dropped the track. Bleeding Through have been on hiatus since their 2018

Sanguisugabogg just announced a very short and limited tour run with Jarhead Fertilizer and Stabbed. The tour starts May 30 in Fort Wayne, IN, and ends June 4 in Boston, MA.

U.K.’s Manorfest announced the fest will not be returning. In a lengthy statement, they talk about low ticket sales, high costs, and the inability to recoup losses. They will be officially dissolving the company as well. Had this year’s festival happened, it would have boasted such big-name bands as Moonspell, My Dying Bride, Soilwork, and

Metallica‘s Jason Newsted is temporarily bringing back his self-named side project, Newsted, for a comeback show. This show will take place May 20 at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He gave more details about that in an interview with Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk, as transcribed by Blabbermouth. “About a year ago at this time, The Chophouse Band played

It’s hard out there for a touring band and unfortunately, rising costs and the current shitty state of the global economy has forced yet another act to cancel their tour plans. Earlier today, Canadian melodic death metal outfit The Agonist announced their upcoming European tour is not happening. The band joins the likes of Anthrax,
