Review: Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe Made Me Cackle Like a Goon The Entire Time
While I’m a fan of art in all its many forms, the lowbrow will always be my home. Sophisticated art is beautiful and meaningful, but the minute someone tries to tell me about how sophisticated it is, I want out. Which is why I was stoked to learn that another Beavis and Butt-Head movie was…

Photos: Avatar, Light the Torch, Fall of Stasis in Montreal, July 7, 2022
Earlier this month, the circus rolled into the City of Saints and set it ablaze. Swedish freak-metallers Avatar took on Montreal with the help of metalcore skyscrapers Light the Torch and local death metallers Fall of Stasis.

Watch: Rubber Chicken Sings “Sweet Child O’ Mine”
All this talk about the Rage Against the Machine reunion has been an important reminder that, because of expensive ticket prices, major concerts aren’t always accessible to fans who want to see a band. Not long ago, Guns N’ Roses were the hot reunion of the month and they’ve remained steadily on the road since…

John Dolmayan: System of a Down Would Make a New Record “If My Band Members Listened to Me”
We all know that System of a Down drummer John Dolmayan is very vocal about his political beliefs, from saying he’d vote for Trump again despite the January 6th hearings to claiming he’d figured out the cause of COVID while brushing off the invasion of Ukraine. Now, however, Dolmayan has taken a moment to explain…

The Hu Announce New Album, Drop Brooding First Single via Epic Music Video
As a metal writer, you use ‘epic’ a lot, and usually that just means ‘cinematic’ or ‘impressive.’ But Mongolian folk metallers The Hu are most certainly epic proper, believably channeling themes of ancient Mongolia in with gut-punching tracks. Now, the band have announced their new album, and have released the first single via a music…

Ted Nugent: Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and Pink Want “to Kill Babies and Ban Guns and…Support a Government That Imports Fentanyl Chemical Warfare Against American Citizens”
Right now, right-wing crackpot and noted bigot Ted Nugent has found two new focuses for his impotent, poorly-researched rage: Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and pop star Pink. For a second time in a row, the “Cat Scratch Fever” writer has gone after the two musicians, though this time he’s doubled down on his…
King Crimson’s Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox Cover Rammstein’s “Keine Lust”
King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and his wife, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox, are back with the latest entry in their ongoing “Sunday Lunch” series of cover videos. This Sunday, Fripp and Toyah cover “Keine Lust” by German industrial metallers Rammstein. Toyah turns the performance into a bit of a wet Dirndl party, which we’re sure Lindemann…

Watch: Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” Is In the Stranger Things Finale
It looks like the creators of Stranger Things took my commentary on metalhead character Billy from Season 2 to heart, because this new season has really sought to change the show’s stance on heavy metal. Assuming Billy’s previous place is Eddie, a Dungeons & Dragons-loving Dio-repping headbanger based on Damien Echols of the infamous West…

Mastodon’s Brann Dailor Thinks Music Awards Are “A Popularity Contest…But Hey, I’ll Take a Grammy, That’s Cool”
It’s pretty widely accepted by the metal community that accolades and awards are bullshit, even if they’re useful. On the one hand, sure, awards mean more recognition and look good on paper, and that means more opportunities, bigger gigs, all that jazz. On the other hand, whether or not you win or Grammy or get…
10 Metal Things You Might Not Know About Puerto Rico, by San Juan’s Moths
Listen to Moths‘ riveting new album Space Force, and one might assume the progressive stoner-death band call Brooklyn or Portland their home. But no dice — Moths hail from San Juan, Puerto Rico, a city that many of us have heard of or visited but, if we’re being honest, on which a lot of us…
