It feels like we’ve been talking about this forever, but Anthrax‘s follow up to 2016’s For All Kings finally has vocals recorded.

Exodus fans, the Dukes era is officially back on, and according to the man himself, the next record isn’t just business as usual — it’s shaping up to be his best yet. In a new interview with Chicago’s Rebel Radio 92.5 FM, Rob Dukes confirmed he’s deep in the vocal booth for the thrash legends’

Tom Morello calling a band “the new Rage Against The Machine” was bound to make headlines. But this endorsement? It’s got David Draiman doing David Draiman things on the internet again. During a recent appearance on The Strombo Show, Morello sang the praises of Irish rap trio Kneecap, describing them as today’s spiritual successor to

The Norwegian lunatics in Deathhammer are back to ruin your summer in the best possible way. Their sixth full-length slab of blackthrash chaos, Crimson Dawn, drops August 29 via Hells Headbangers, just in time to melt what’s left of your face before fall.

It’s looking like 2026 is gonna kick off just right for metalheads across the pond, as British outfit Sylosis will be spending about a month out on the road across the U.K. and Europe. Normally that would be a cool enough announcement, but it also turns out the tour will feature the likes of Revocation,

Let’s face it — when you have a band that features Corrosion of Conformity’s Pepper Keenan and Crowbar’s Kirk Windstein on guitars, you’ve got an impressive riff factory. Both of those gentlemen know how to write some killer riffs, so it should come as no surprise that when it came time to tease some new

When it comes to having an argument, there comes a time when you can either attempt to de-escalate things and cool the conversation down or you can double down on your principles and go on the offensive. It seems that the Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap and Disturbed frontman David Draiman have both opted for the

A Southern California hardcore band is going out on their terms… at least for the time being, as God’s Hate announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus after last night’s set at the Sound and Fury Festival in Los Angeles.

For a buncha dudes from Australia, the five-some that makes up King Parrot sure plays North America a ton. At least that’s what it feels like lately, having toured with Pantera in the past and whatnot. But all that’s to say that they’re gonna be headlining a tour in North America starting later this month.

Heavy psych stoner metal artists Stone Jesus know their way through a solid tune and luckily, we’ll be getting some more of that in the release of their next full-length effort Songs to Sun. Set to release on September 19 via Seasons of Mist, the band says Songs to Sun will be the first entry

Last month, Hatebreed announced their guitarist Wayne Lozinak was heading back to the U.S. from their summer festival circuit because he was diagnosed with benign meningioma. They ended up getting Shadows Fall’s Matt Bachand to fill in, but then began the process of Lozinak finding out what’s wrong with him. Since then, Lozinak’s been taking

Right now, alt/prog-metal outfit Nothing More are making their way across North America for Disturbed’s The Sickness 25th Anniversary tour alongside special guests Daughtry. Yet this morning, they announced that later this year, they’ll be striking it out on a headlining run of their own. Starting in Europe this November, Nothing More will kick off

What’s more metal than playing in a dark, dank catacomb literally lined with the skeletal remains of millions people? Not a whole lot, I’d surmise. But here we are — it’s 2025 and a band played an intimate, special set in the depths of the Paris catacombs. Surely some black metal band did that, right?

A few weeks ago, Turnstile announced a benefit show to help cover healthcare costs for the homeless. And as you can imagine, the response was glowing, and the turnout on the night was absolutely huge. New footage recently dropped from the show of the group surrounded by thousands of fans, (some even getting up on

When you think of not-safe-for-work, you think inappropriate content you wouldn’t want to watch in good company. But on Cryptopsy’s brand new “Malicious Needs” video, the band teases fans with a comical video showcasing the bleak mundanity of a standard 9-5 office job. Aside from the minimal, slightly gruesome shots, the only NSFW element about

Everyone’s favorite madness machine from Atlanta, The Callous Daoboys, will be taking their wild show on the road when they embark on their first North American tour later this year.

Ever the perpetual road dogs, Melvins announced yet another lengthy tour for 2025, only this time they’re bringing Redd Kross along for the mayhem. Despite the fact that they’re still co-headlining a run of dates with Napalm Death and plan on continuing that run into Europe, they announced another 33-date run all over the U.S.

I know a lot of crazy shit has happened since then, but remember when UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down in front of a New York City hotel in the early morning of December 4, 2024 and the manhunt that ultimately resulted in the arrest of Luigi Mangione? That whole thing is still going
