Circus loving Swedes showed up at the Starland Ballroom in idyllic New Jersey earlier this month, as Avatar brought their ‘Great Metal Circus’ tour to the Garden State.

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.

Just this past Monday we reported that vocalist Lorraine Lewis was departing legacy glam metal band Vixen. Following Lorraine’s departure, some fans, and even yours truly, speculated that original vocalist (well, close enough to the original) Janet Gardner might be rejoining the band. In fact, as I pointed out, drummer Roxy Petrucci remains the last…

Night Sins, the Philadelphia-based brainchild of the ever-charismatic musician Kyle Kimball, is a delightful concoction of classic EBM’s pulsating energy, post-punk’s brooding introspection, and synth-pop’s catchy melodies in their new EP, A Silver Blade In The Shadow (out now via Born Losers Records). Imagine early Nine Inch Nails meeting Depeche Mode at a retro-futuristic party,…
I know how the system works I know how the people work I know how the system works And it doesn’t The world’s gone topsy-turvy, like some cosmic trickster decided to flip the board game of life and shake all the pieces. Mentioning we’re in an era of seismic change and chaos feels almost quaint,…

For the first time in five years, technical death metal outfit Nile are returning with a brand new album titled The Underworld Awaits Us.

In what might be one of the least expected collaborative efforts in modern metal, it appears that Slipknot and video game developer/publisher Atlus are somehow teaming up to promote the upcoming Japanese role-playing game Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. In the first of two videos posted earlier today, Jim Ojala from Ojala Productions showcased how…

With work on their next album featuring a “big-groove tribal sound” under way, there’s a pretty good chance that fans of Soulfly will get to hear some new material during the newly announced U.S. tour set for later this year. As you can see in the long ass list of dates below, everything’s set to…
Yeah, that headline may be a little bit hyperbolic, but I think it’s pretty fitting given the fact that the band has never hidden their reverence to Death in the slightest.

Everyone knows it at this point and if you don’t know, you’re about to know — nu metal is big business in 2024.

Compulsion is a universal force, manifesting in relationships, substances, or dreams. Each offers exhilarating peaks but also harbours a darker side, potentially leading to despair. Relationships can elevate or become possessive; substances provide temporary euphoria but risk addiction; dreams inspire yet can blind us to the present. This duality in London post-punk act heavy wild’s…

Negative portrayals depict the humble snake as a cunning predator, embodying betrayal and corruption. From Eden’s tempter to the Norse Midgard Serpent, it symbolizes chaos, destruction, and the struggle against dark influences. Conversely, Kundalini rising ignites the soul, empowering women by awakening intrinsic power and intuition. This coiled serpent at the spine’s base uncoils and…

The Ukranian artist Скубут (Skubut)—now located in Vienna, Austria—announces his third studio album Pogranichnyi, which was self-released on May 17th. Meaning “borderline” in Ukranian, the ten-track LP is just that: it teases between the variables of old and new darkwave and coldwave genres, acting as a solid border between the decades-long legacy within this specific…

The intensity of Baltimore-based L’Avenir’s new LP, Imagination, burns bright. Between the stinging melancholy of synth pads and the danceability of the beat, Imagination—that was released on May 23rd—feels like the reincarnation of Clan of Xymox‘s Medusa or a long-lost album from the French coldwave era. The treacherous bite of producer Jason Sloan’s ten song LP (with…

I don’t know if you know this, but the dude that’s playing drums for Slipknot these days — ex-Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande — is a fucking monster behind the kit. Not only does he punish those drums and cymbals like they owe him money, but he’s just so technically sound that it’s hard not to…

Artificial intelligence, or A.I., is becoming more controversial every day in terms of its use in art. The common complaint is that it learns from real artists and then replaces their hard work, essentially cutting human artists out of something that they helped build. People who use A.I. tend to defend themselves by painting anyone…

The 1990 subliminal message trial against Judas Priest was, frankly, dumb. For those of you who don’t know the story, here’s a brief summary: in December of 1985, two young men in Nevada, Raymond Belknap (18) and James Vance (20), made a pact to kill themselves. Belknap died instantly, but Vance survived after destroying most…

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a renowned institution dedicated to memorializing the greatest artists in the history of rock music.

In the neon-lit labyrinth of a metropolis paved with the dreams of fallen angels, paranoia thrums like an electric pulse through the veins of the city.
