Right now, Valerie Bertinelli is in the process of promoting her new book, Enough Already: Learning to Love The Way I Am Today. A big part of that book is her relationship with her ex-husband Eddie Van Halen, who tragically passed away in 2020. Now, Valerie has addressed the idea that she caused the band’s

There’s something to be said about consistency in music. Putting out seven full-length records in 28 years without a single one sucking is a difficult task, but one that Dark Funeral can add to their incredibly studded belts. We Are The Apocalypse marks the band’s first record with bassist Frederik Isaksson (Adra-Melek) and drummer Janne

Ever since he first joined the band, the identity of Slipknot percussionist Tortilla Man has been in question. Now, the band have officially confirmed his identity by announcing a Reddit AMA with him! Tortilla Man is in fact Michael Pfaff, as was long suspected. Pfaff plays keyboards in Shawn “Clown” Crahan’s side project, Dirty Little

Back in December, progressive groove metallers Meshuggah postponed their U.S. tour due to “a skin condition” among one of the members. Now, speaking to Rolling Stone, drummer Tomas Haake reveals the condition was his, and opens up about the health concerns surrounding it. In the interview, Haake reveals that he has eczema inside of his

Earlier this month, melodeath legends Omnium Gatherum wowed fans at Come And Take It Live in Austin, TX. Along for the ride were technical wizards Allegaeon, road dogs Black Crown Initiate, Nacogdoches crushers Spiral Eye, and Austin’s own Whore of Bethlehem.  The gig was captured in blazing detail by our own Drew Nesbitt of Njorodynphoto.

From the get-go, it’s been clear that Rob Zombie‘s adaptation of TV horror-comedy The Munsters was going to be a big production. From his blueprints of the Munster family home at 1313 Mockingbird Lane to his elaborate costume designs, Zombie’s teased audiences with just how much effort (and money, damn…) is going into this film. Now, Rob

This week, Periphery guitarist Mark Holcomb joins the show! We discuss the debut full-length album from his project Haunted Shores, how the band’s formation led to him join Periphery, the riff graveyard that he uses to create songs, and on treating music for Haunted Shores like a 9-to-5 job. We also talk about how to

It’s no secret that Iron Maiden are not the biggest fans of Sharon Osbourne. When the NWOBHM legends performed at Ozzfest, the band and their people infamously clashed with Sharon left and right. Now, frontman Bruce Dickinson has taken a moment during a recent spoken-word engagement to say that he doesn’t think Black Sabbath exists

On Friday, we reported on how outdated rap-rocker Kid Rock was so unoriginal, he just made the same bad music video twice. But apparently, that kind of moxie is the stuff of dreams to Ted Nugent, who took a moment to praise Kid Rock recently, basically calling him a genius. As reported by Blabbermouth, Ted

So back in the early 2000s, when the Internet was young but hungry, there were a series of early viral videos that were designed to freak people the fuck out. Some were weird and ambient, some were normal videos with a startling moment in them, and many were these absurd, poorly-animated videos off of sites

Last month, Tool frontman and lovable rapscallion Maynard James Keenan played a little Jenga behind drummer Danny Carey’s kit mid-show, with disaaaaastrous results. Now, Maynard has decided to take on the medical profession, donning scrubs and a mask in order to play Operation behind Carey’s drum set. We have to warn you: what you’re about

You could be forgiven for not having heard of Distention before. Why, you might ask? Well, that’s because the band has officially been around for one week. So why then, should you care? You should care because 1) this shit rips, and 2) Distention features Darren Liwen (ex-The Kennedy Veil), Nick Padovani (Equipoise), Dylan Potts

Last year, aging rap-rocker Kid Rock released a music video for his song with Canadian rockers Monster Truck, titled “Don’t Tell Me How to Live.” The video was a poorly-made conservative meme that made Kid Rock look like a dad on Facebook from five years ago; Kid Rock would later go on to act as

Everyone loves a good comeback, right? Well, it looks like Alexisonfire sure do, and to prove it, they’ve announced Otherness, their first studio album in 13 years, and a new single, “Sweet Dreams of Otherness,” to boot. The songwriting on “Sweet Dreams of Otherness” borrows elements of desert psychedelic rock to make for a relaxing,

So far, Ghost’s new album IMPERA has received generally favorable reviews (including a 4/5 horn review from our own Immodest Mouse). Now, the band are broadcasting their album release stream, Live from The Ministry, and you can watch for free below. We know Ghost is a divisive band, and by even posting this we’re inciting

We’ve been stoked for Rob Zombie‘s take on the horror-comedy show The Munsters for a while now. But we’re a little stunned to learn that the Peacock-hosted adaptation will be rated PG! According to Bloody Disgusting, the film has landed a solid PG rating for: “Macabre and suggestive material, scary images and language.” PG?! REALLY?!

Today on Shit we can’t believe Tom Morello still has to explain in 2022, Rage Against The Machine make music that rages against systems of control and oppression, IE the government, fascists, police — you know, that kind of stuff. But lately, it seems like people have been outspoken about how they love the band’s

Ghost always smack of ’80s horror movies, when the special effects finally caught up with the public’s sick thoughts and horrific fantasies. Listening to their music, one can hear the upbeat anthems, slow power ballads, and pop-influenced melodies of those first glimpses into animatronics, fake blood, and foam latex. Despite being one of modern metal’s

Last month, melodic death metal standard-setters Dark Tranquility laid siege to Austin, Texas. Along for the ride were Canadian steamroller crew Kataklysm, German face-rippers Nailed to Obscurity, and local death metallers Hinayana. The gig was captured in glorious detail by our own Drew Nesbitt of Njorodynphoto. Behold: Hinayana Nailed to Obscurity Kataklysm Dark Tranquility

For a generation of rock and metal fans, The Prodigy were the gateway drug to electronic and dance music (in the UK, they’re regarded on the same level as, say, Korn or Guns N’ Roses — a massive, game-changing act). Much of that came from the volatile and compelling behavior and attitude of Keith Flint,
