Set to kick off on March 19 in Dallas and coming to a close on April 19 in Indio, California, the tour will span 19 dates across the U.S. Along the way,

What happens when you take the perpetually fun vibes music from iconic rock band KISS and run it through the melancholic filter of Katatonia’s style? You get the latest single and possibly most unexpected cover of “A World Without Heroes” from the Swedish band. Originally released back in 1981 on KISS’ Music from ‘The Elder’,

I sure hope you’ve got your brown pants on, because the latest single from U.K. metal motherfuckers Heriot “Commander of Pain” is so heavy you’re gonna wonder who the hell shit in your britches. Released as a stand-alone track, Heriot guitarist and vocalist Debbie Gough said “Commander of Pain” is a callback to a bygone

Hell yeah, brothers. Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.) have always been the cool dudes, and they’re doing something quite cool with this. They’ve teamed up with Volatile Skateboards to create their own line of tight ass decks, clothes and accessories called COC Skateboards, live now at cocskateboards.com. They’ve got everything from skate decks to a snowboard

Well, this is random. Back on November 6, Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon made an appearance on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk where he gave a little bit of an update on what him and his bandmates have been working on. The interview itself wasn’t random, nor the fact that what he said Tesla’s working

It’s been a doozy of a few days for Vulvodynia. The South African deathcore band have been on the road, only to hit a large considerable snag when it comes to their new vocalist Zion Bittenbender.

For the second time in six years, thrash metal outfit Death Angel have graced us with a new circle-pit-inducing track in the form of “Cult Of The Used.” And before you ask — no, it’s not about Mark Osegueda’s love of the early 2000s band The Used. Released earlier this week, the track is a

Kiss fans, get ready to cream your goddamn pants. Their fourth record (and first live record) Alive! is officially a senior citizen, celebrating its 50th this year. It’s considered to be one of the best live albums of all time, but if you’re a Kiss fan I imagine you already know that. To celebrate, the

It was only a few hours ago today, Thursday, November 6, that we reported how Vulvodynia‘s new vocalist Zion Bittenbender has been accused of sexual assault and misconduct by at least one victim who has come forward, though descriptions of inappropriate actions against others were also included. Vulvodynia and Bittenbender have since responded with their

Well, my flabber is truly gasted. Hardcore kids of the past might remember all the dumbass drama that’s been going on for years between Danny “Lord Ezec” Diablo of Skarhead and Dwid Hellion of Integrity. I don’t much want to get into the weeds of the bullshit, as it involves a shitty person who happened

When Nothing releases their fifth album a short history of decay this coming February, it will be almost six years since they last put out a full album. Of course, I’m talking about 2020’s The Great Dismal and from what I can tell from hearing the band’s new single “cannibal world,” it’s obvious that things

With just a couple days left before they were supposed to head out on tour with Vitriol and Weeping, Kansas-based death metal outfit Unmerciful were forced to announce that they were dropping off the bill “due to circumstances beyond our control.” For reasons unknown at this time, Unmerciful were without their drummer Trynt Kelly is

Next year’s already got some pretty big announcements going for it. Case and point is the tour nu metal band Ill Niño have planned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album Revolution Revolución.

Yesterday came with a pretty big shock when the surviving members of Rush, bassist and frotnman Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex LIfeson announced that the legendary prog band would be playing a 50th anniversary tour with German drummer Anika Nilles filling in for the immortal, yet late Neil Peart. Now, with yesterday’s announcement behind us

Photos and words by Sean Matthews except Deftones photos by Steve Thrasher. For two straight weekends, Louisville, Kentucky became the epicenter of live music. Bourbon & Beyond (September 11–14) started the festivities, followed immediately by Louder Than Life (September 18–21), both organized by the masterminds at Danny Wimmer Presents (DWP).

The start of the new year is going to feature a hell of a tour for the U.S. (and one stop in Canada), as Left To Suffer announced a 23-stop run of dates dubbed “The Eternal Suffering Tour”. Looking at the dates below, there are pretty good chances that if you’re into their sound, you’ll

It’s always interesting to learn about our favorite rock stars, like what their influences were, what jobs they worked before becoming a professional musician, and what bands they might have played in before striking it big. For fans of Volbeat, Asinhell, and Michael Poulsen, at least one of the answers for that last question was

You all know the story about the boy who cried wolf, right? Long and the short is that a boy kept claiming a wolf was about to attack the village but after multiple false alarms, no one would believe him when the animal acually showed up, no one believed the kid. Such is the case

There’s memorabilia and then there’s memorabilia you can live in. That’s the crux of this story, as it turns out the house that Slipknot filmed their “Duality” video in is currently heading out onto the market. According to a report by The Des Moines Register, the West Des Moines property will begin receiving bids this

The Pacific Northwest gets some great shows every year and this one was no exception. On September 27, the Star Theater in Portland, Oregon played host to Crypta and Claustrofobia for a night of death metal. As you can see from the shots below, we got the mighty Alison Webster out there to take these
