Shit happens on the road. People get sick, bones get broken, and unfortunately, tour dates suffer as a result. That is, unless you’re Entheos multi-instrumentalist and live drummer Navene Koperweis — then a broken ankle suffered in a freak accident barely causes you to slow down. Entheos is currently out on their headlining tour with

Stoner metal shows are always a good time. It’s all vibes, man. Heavy riffs, killer grooves, and just people out to have a good time. I’d imagine that’s the type of show you can expect when Howling Giant and Insomniac head out on tour next spring. This run is a rescheduling of last June and

Each year, the Milwaukee MetalFest manages to get some kick ass sets lined up. Whether it’s featuring a newly reunited band for the first time or getting acts to play the entirety of a fan favorite album live, there’s usually something exciting for attendees to experience. This year, we’ve already got Acid Bath in the

Last night, Tool took quite a few fans by surprise but digging deep into their discographical vault and playing some singles that they haven’t played in over two decades. Specifically, they played “Crawl Away” for the first time since 1998, and “H.” and “Disposition” for the first time since 2002. Talk about hopping in a

Well this is somewhat unexpected! We all know how Slipknot‘s Sid Wilson has a lot going on. The keyboardist, DJ and Vomit Face Records owner has now made a special appearance in the music video for “We Gone,” the new single by this recording artist Lil Bushwick. Wilson and Bushwick play Rick and Morty, the

As one of the most decorated musicians ever, having an exhibition on his life was clearly a no brainer. Ozzy‘s “Working Class Hero” exhibition at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Birmingham, England has understandably been a huge success, and as of today, a new relic has been added to it. Visitors can now

We knew they wouldn’t be gone forever and oh, how lovely it is to have them back to us. When The Sword said back in 2022 that they were disbanding after almost 20 years, I feel like we all collectively said “fuck that noise.” Then they came back in 2024, and everything felt right again.

I’ll be honest – there’s not a whole lot going on this week in terms of new releases. That’s okay though, they can’t all be blockbuster weeks of new metal. Still, there’s some great stuff to check out. Bloodbound Field of Swords (Napalm Records) Swedish power metal band Bloodbound are back with their latest release.

Ever wonder how GWAR gets all those fluids ready to shoot onto their throngs of unwavering fans each night? Curious about what a typical day looks like for those that work behind the scenes for our lords and masters? Then this 11 minute documentary offered up for free on the YouTubes should be right up

Oh, hell yes. After the banger that was “Sepsis” came out of the Lamb Of God camp last month, I gotta say I’ve been quietly waiting to hear more. That last track was surprisingly heavy and managed to avoid the Lamb Of God formula, so here’s hoping their newly announced single coming this Friday, November

The metal world was recently rocked by the loss of At The Gates vocalist Tomas “Tompa” Lindberg. His untimely death at 52 years old on September 16 was the result of a quiet battle with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Now, two months later, Dark Tranquillity, The Crown, and The Halo Effect are getting together and

In a recent social media post, Bryan Garris sure made it sound like there’s something a-brewin’ in the Knocked Loose camp. Whether it’s the beginnings of the band’s follow up to 2024’s You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To or something else entirely, we’ll have to wait and find out. The post in question didn’t

Thanks to a recent post on social media, we’re pretty certain that there’s going to be some new music from Converge dropping later this week. I don’t want to say it’s 100 percent certain, but when the teaser is almost as blatant as this one is, it’s hard not to feel confident. Why do we

For those who couldn’t enjoy Vans Warped Tour‘s return to glory this year, tuning in to the livestreams they’ve been sharing has been the saving grace. I get they could only take the all day festival to so many places, but gosh why couldn’t it just go everywhere? Anyway, it’s Orlando, FL’s time to shine,

Melodic metal mavens The Raven Age (I love a rhyme) is losing one of their founding members—George Harris. The guitarist, who happens to be the son of Iron Maiden bassist Steven Harris, has just announced that his band’s upcoming U.K. run of tour will be his last with the band. He made the announcement this

What a doozy, though not necessarily surprising. People come out of the woodwork all the time when it comes to celebrities, trying to stake claim on whatever they want to pretend they have rights to. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening to Sharon Osbourne right now, but I’m not not saying that. Sharon and her

The Land Down Under’s going to get a taste of American progressive metalcore and deathcore next year, as Born Of Osiris and Signs Of The Swarm both plan to head on a short Australian tour in March. And not only will they get to play to an audience they don’t really get to see too

Hardcore acts Bane and Rotting Out announced a run of nine tour dates along the U.S. west coast. Each show will take place this coming January. Set to kick off on January 16 in San Diego and coming to a close in Englewood, Colorado, the tour will make stops in Los Angeles, San Jose, and

In what might be one of the least expected collaborations in a while, iconic nu metal group Linkin Park will join forces with one of the most iconic Lucha Libre wrestling promotions on the planet to put on a special event tomorrow night. Set to take place at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow night at Arena Mexico

There’s been a growing trend as of late of artists pulling their entire discographies from the popular music streaming platform Spotify. They cite things like shitty pay, poor anti-AI slop protections, and the company’s closeness to AI military hardware as reasons for their removal. All valid reasons, if you ask us… Earlier today, yet another
