We may be a day late, but we’re not a dollar short. Well, I’m several dollars short but that’s a whole other story. Unfortunately, this year’s Mexican Metal Festival has been postponed, but its organizers still tried to offer something to the ticket holders by pulling together a one day fest with some of the…

It’s giving I.D. Channel. It’s very Agatha Christie-coated, or whatever the fuck is the new phrase the young kids are saying because I’m sure as shit too old for that and really don’t know what it all means. What I DO know, though, is that resident ex-Mr. Bungle moron Theobald “Theo” Brooks Lengyel has been…

Alright. So the Descendents haven’t really stopped doing cool shit since they first came on the scene. They’ve got another entry for their laundry list of all that goodness. The band, along with like 1,000 other artists, played a mega show in Hermosa Beach, CA for Punk Rock & Paintbrushes. The setlist included mad Descendents…

Have Ice Nine Kills given you ice nine chills? They might, if you’re a fan of their drummer Patrick Galante, who announced today he’s straight dippin’ from the metalcore band. Galante joined the band back in 2018, making his debut on “Your Number’s Up” (feat. Sarah J. Bartholomew)” and their cover of Micheal Jackson’s “Thriller”…

Grungey football fans rejoice! Well, if you’re a 49ers or Seahawks fan at least. Candlebox, the fools who gave us “Far Behind” and “Cover Me,” took to the stage during the Thursday Night Football halftime show for the San Francisco 49ers-versus-Seattle Seahawks game at Lumen Field in, you guessed it, Seattle, WA. Their return home…

A band with a name like Helloween makes you expect to get some of that spooky spooky for both the season and the genre. Those fools were on and off the road a lot between 2022–2023, hitting over 30 countries in the process. They’ve managed to encapsulate all those performances in a cute lil present…

One week out from the release of their third album, aptly titled III, Danish band Black Oak County have dropped their final single and video for the track “Camouflage.” Featuring a groovy (and definitely radio friendly) sound, the track has the kind of hook and structure that would have fucking killed back in the early…

Over the last couple of weeks, millions of people in the southeastern part of the United States have been devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The amount of damage caused by both storms, as well as the number of lives affected, will take some time to calculate, but what’s immediately apparent is that people need…

It’s never easy replacing a vocalist, but the dudes in Decapitated at least had an option when their frontman Rafał Rasta Piotrowski opted to walk away from the band — their original vocalist Sauron. That’s according to a social media post from the Polish death metal band from earlier today, in which both parties explained…

(Editor’s note: From time to time we ask artists to share their favorite music and the ‘guilty pleasures’ they tend to play while on the road. It’s a great way to get you, the reader, to connect with these larger-than-life personalities on a human level. This time around, we got Undeath‘s Alexander Jones to share…

Ages ago, one of my predecessors wrote about Australian deathcore outfit Make Them Suffer, calling them a late entry to the NWOAHM (as in “New Wave of Australian Heavy Metal”) scene. Today, I’m here not to tell you what they should be classified as, but rather to alert you to the new single titled “Mana…

The concept of a “legacy band” is pretty simple: bands with an impressive discography that have a massive following and have been around for decades fall within that category. Think Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Pantera… basically any major band that usually sits at the top of a festival’s bill. You’d think Metallica would fall…

Brazilian thrash/death metal outfit Nervosa’s been making its way through North America lately as part of their “Great American Jailbreak Tour” and we were lucky enough to attend. As expected, they put on a hell of a show in Clifton, New Jersey’s famed Dingbats venue. As always, we had to have someone out there to…

Talk about an unexpected bit of news coming out of the Sylosis camp, but long-time guitarist Alex Bailey has parted ways with the band. According to a social media post on the official Sylosis social media accounts, the blow of his exit was softened by the fact that they’ll continue on with their ex-live guitarist…

Earlier today, Illinois-based death metal outfit Molder dropped a disgustingly brutal track that includes a vocal guest spot by Scott Carroll of Cianide titled “Frothing.” Just that word gives me the willies, for some reason, so I personally think it’s an apt title for this track. Released as part of their forthcoming album Catastrophic Reconfiguration,…

We are just two weeks out from the release of Fit For An Autopsy‘s forthcoming album The Nothing That Is, so naturally that means we’re going to get another single to get hyped over. This time around, it’s a hyper pissed off, somewhat politically charged single “Lower Purpose.” And when I say “politically charged,” I…

It was a wild story yesterday when we learned that the entirety of Torture‘s touring band opted to quit right before an anticipated tour with Undeath kicked off. Sure, the “band” was really just one dude and a handful of other musicians playing his music, but that’s beside the point. They were on the ticket…

Apparently comic book series can get their own licensed soundtrack, complete with some big names. At least, that’s what’s happening for Sumerian Records’ upcoming American Psycho comic book series. Announced earlier today, the American Psycho Comic Series Soundtrack was announced, showcasing songs by Ice Nine Kills, Kittie, Carpenter Brut, and a whole bunch more. In…

For the next entry in our ongoing Worst Show Ever series, we got the irreverent Zakk Wylde to sit down and take a walk down the terribly paved section of Memory Lane so we could revisit some of his worst shows. Having been on the road for decades now, the New Jersey native’s seen so…

There has got to be no bigger bloodsport in 2024 than the political discourse that takes place on Elon Musk’s current bastardization of Twitter. It’s an online space where everyone’s an idiot asshole that knows nothing about nothing and that applies on both sides of the political spectrum. Just a buncha fucking morons with too…

To say we might have reached critical mass with System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian ever since he began making the rounds promoting his new book Down with the System: A Memoir (of Sorts) might be an understatement. For months now, we’ve heard about how he wanted to leave System of a Down, how…

Progressive death metal motherfuckers Rivers of Nihil made a pretty exciting announcement for their more long-term, diehard fans to get stoked about today, as they revealed that they’ll be reissuing their debut EP Hierarchy next month. Due out on November 8, this new version of Hierarchy is being done 14 years after its original, independent…

Butt-rock kings Godsmack have been going back and forth for a while now about whether or not their 2023 album Lighting Up the Sky was their final record of their career. But, while the band are still never saying never, it does seem like they want to coast on their existing catalogue and play those…

When the dust settles from their tour with Undeath, Japanese hardcore/death metal outfit Kruelty will be just weeks away from the release of their newly announced EP, Profane Usurpation. It will be their first release since 2023’s Untopia and their first since vocalist Tatami left and guitarist Zuma took over as the band’s frontman. Set…

There are some scenarios that I imagine keep bands awake at night. Overbearing venue cuts. Empty venues. Getting canceled by yours truly. Yet one instance cropped up at the 11th hour and forced a death metal band off an anticipated tour, as death metal act Torture basically imploded before their run with Undeath. And just…
