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.

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.

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.

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

Florida-based groove metal outfit Nonpoint is not done celebrating the 20th and 25th anniversaries of To The Pain and Statement, respectively.

With the release of their sophomore album To Cross or To Burn now firmly behind them, Venamoris are back with yet another dark, sultry track titled “Contrapasso.” This time around, Dave and Paula Lombardo (yes, that Dave Lombardo) simply released a single track to remind the world of their musical journey as a couple that

With just a couple dates left in what originally was supposed to be a huge world tour and roughly 24 hours after being called out as the reason for the run of dates getting cut short, Bullet for My Valentineissued a statement explaining why they felt the need to axe the rest of ‘The Poison

Progressive metalcore outfit Born of Osiris are back with a new album coming out later this summer titled Through Shadows.

What a wonderful time we’re all living in. Nazis are emboldened and on the rise, tariffs are going to send our economy into a tailspin, and our fascist president has a not-so-secret police force of jackbooted thugs rounding people up for deportation to an El Salvadorian prison. Usually you’d love to be able to turn

Progressive tech death metal outfitFallujahare back with their third single off their forthcoming album Xenotaph, “Step Through The Portal And Breathe”.

For the third single off their forthcoming album Savage New Times, Arizona-based thrash/groove metal outfitIncite is taking a bit of a left turn with “Dolores”. While their previous singles “No Mercy No Forgiveness” and “Just a Rat” come at you like a monster truck loaded for bear, this new track takes a darker, more melodic

It’s hard to think of any other dad-rock band that does old school noise rock quite like Helmet. In recent news, the New York foursome has taken a trip to Seattle’s famous KEXP Studio for a live session. For those of you who might be living under a rock, KEXP is a non-profit organization that

We’ve been on the record for a long time about how shitty Live Nation is for the industry as a monopolistic force on the average concertgoer’s experience. They own a ridiculous amount of venues across the U.S., they charge exorbitant fees on top of ticket sales, and they just in general suck. So it’s with

If there’s one thing to learn when it comes to metal bands and definitive statements like “we’ll never tour again” or “we’re retiring” or something equally huge like that, it’s that they usually walk back those statements in due time. Like Marvel characters, they’re never truly dead. Yet when Dutch death metal outfit posted on
