What was your dawn-of-the-pandemic quarantine album? Back when the world was truly shut down, everything was topsy turvy, and every day — every hour — was a full emotional rollercoaster.

It’s tax day, kinda not really but still sorta depending on your personal sitch (where my 1040-ES-heads at?!?!). So it’s a good day for Silverstein to release a new song called “Bankrupt.” Which is what they’ve done! And hey, look, I’m not a Silverstein fan, but for what it’s worth, I enjoyed this song. I

I guess Barney the Dinosaur is just kinda in the air right now.

Like Byzantine, Carnifex have decided to roll the dice and a book a U.S. tour for July. Granted, it’s not an extensive tour (it’s twelve shows, most of which are in the Midwest). Still, the band must be feeling bullish that the shows will happen and the fans will come out — they lost $250,000+

Cannibal Corpse frontman George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher was our recent guest on The MetalSucks Podcast to discuss the band’s new album, Violence Unimagined, the addition of Erik Rutan to the band, a whole bunch of NFL talk and more.

Kataan — the project led by Nicholas Thurnbury (ex-Vattnet Viskar) and Brett Boland (Astronoid) — have released their latest single, “Abyss.” Thornbury comments: “‘Abyss’ is a song about loss or what could have been.

White Moth Black Butterfly, featuring TesseracT vocalist Daniel Tompkins, have released their latest single, “The Dreamer.” Tompkins explains of the single: “This is a song that explores both the apprehension and excitement of the birth of a dream.

Two days after Ms. Becker’s announcement, things seemed to take a turn for

Rapper Lil Nas X, best known for his massive hit “Old Town Road” a couple of years back, caused quite a stir last month with a line of “Satan Shoes” he released to promote his new single, “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).” Nike was bothered by the unauthorized used of its sneakers, conservatives everywhere

It looks like Tom Morello is gonna have another year of putzin’ around the Internet, schooling conservatives who somehow don’t realize Rage Against the Machine is a politically liberal band: the seminal rap-metal band have just delayed their eagerly-anticipated reunion tour for the second time, to 2022. The tour had been scheduled to kick off

You may remember Hammerhedd from when we wrote about them in 2016 and 2018, always with glowing words, some of the band’s members still pre-teens at the time.
