Looks like the second half of the married couple within Cradle of Filth is also walking away from Dani Filth and company at the end of the band’s current tour, as guitarist Marek “Ashok” Šmerda announced his impending departure earlier today. Unlike his wife and ex-Cradle of Filth keyboardist/vocalist Zoe Marie Federoff, who quit the

This is gonna be a pretty short post, since there’s not a whole lot of information to go off of at the moment, but it’s looking like three major female voices in hard rock and metal are joining forces for something. Earlier today, Evanescence‘s Amy Lee, Spiritbox‘s Courtney LaPlante, and Poppy each posted the same

Ongoing drama within the Cradle of Filth camp has reached a fever pitch just moments ago, as frontman Dani Filth took to social media to announce the immediate firing of guitarist Marek “Ashok” Smerda. The news comes hours after the now ousted musician announced his intent to leave the band following their current Latin American

Chilean indigenous metal act Mawiza has reached out and grabbed one of the more recognizable manes min modern metal to participate in the band’s newest single, “Ti Inan Paw-Paw” — which roughly translates to “The Last Harp Call” in English. The band is comprised of members of the Mapuche Nation, a group of indigenous people

As the weather gets colder later this year, fans of Finnish power metal Sonata Arctica will be able to catch the band live during their upcoming ‘Clear Cold Beyond North America’ tour. Set to run from September 29 in Toronto, Ontario and coming to a close on October 4 in Baltimore, this small run of

After returning as an active band nearly a decade ago, the southern stoner metal outfit from New England known as Scissorfight is once again planning to hang it up after a couple final shows. And this time it could be for good (though hopefully it isn’t). According to the band, they’d planned on playing one

As previously reported, Canadian metalcore outfit Spiritbox performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and if past performances by other modern metal acts are any indicator, some moms in American flyover states were none too thrilled. Playing the show in support of Tsunami Sea, the band ripped through their popular single “Soft Spine”. Shot entirely in black

Fresh off their performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Canadian metalcore act Spiritbox have announced a new bout of North American headlining shows in support of Tsunami Sea. And they’re bringing along some interesting supporting acts along the way. Set to kick off on November 12 in Ontario, Canada and coming to a close on December

Just about every band feels the pressure to deliver the goods and validate themselves with each new album. Yet, Born of Osiris arguably had double the usual burden with Through Shadows since it not only follows 2021’s well received Angel or Alien but also marks their first studio LP since losing longtime keyboardist Joe Buras

Fans that crave a little death metal brutality at the shows they attend may want to pay attention to this announcement, as Carcass promises to hit the road across North America for a number of dates later this year. Not only that, but they’re bringing some potent heavy hitters to bolster the nights’ ferocity. Set

Last week, we reported that Puscifer was hinting at something to be released sometime today. Was it new music? A lineup change? Was Maynard James Keenan putting out a bespoke line of lingerie that he wears underneath his suits? As it turns out, the big reveal is the announcement of two special live performances in

Another day, another nostalgia trip hosted by an older band, as it’s now Fear Factory’s turn to cash in on the popularity of an album they put out three decades ago. I mean, it helps that said album was something as iconic as Demanufacture, but still. This fall, Fear Factory will hit the road in

Having just released their first single in forever not too long ago, Biohazard seems to be seizing on the hype surrounding their forthcoming new album by heading back out on the road for a North American tour. Ever since reuniting with the classic lineup of Evan Seinfeld, Billy Graziadei, Bobby Hambel, and Danny Schuler, the

For us metalheads, this past Saturday was the official end of an era. We are now officially in a post-Ozzy and post-Black Sabbath world, with both entities having officially taken their final bows following the end of the ‘Back to the Beginning’ event in Birmingham, United Kingdom. And while it was an important moment for

Some serious situations going on in Haiti has forced the annual metal cruise 70000 Tons of Metal to switch up its destination, opting to head to Nassau, The Bahamas over their normal stop in Labadee, Haiti. And amidst all that, cruise organizers felt it was an appropriate time to also announce the initial 27 bands

Damn it, this one’s a bummer. Just months after being diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and starting a GoFundMe to cover treatments, founding Monster Magnet member Tim Cronin has passed away. He was 63 years old. News of his passing was confirmed in a social media post by Monster Magnet and Atomic Bitchwax drummer

Earlier this year, one of the cooler nostalgia trips took place when Baroness decided to tour the east coast by playing the entirety of both Red Album and Blue Record. It was a hell of a run and if you know either of those releases, every night was an absolute banger. It went so well

For some of us oldheads, 2010 might feel like yesterday, but it’s not. It’s 15 fucking years ago. Might as well be a lifetime, really. So given the fact that The Sword is celebrating 15 years of Warp Riders in a U.S. tour, it just continues to make me feel old as fuck. Earlier today,

I don’t know about you, but when I see people do gross things with their mouth (pause), it gives me the willies. So when I saw an actress being fed some gross looking black shit and she starts gagging in the short film for Cryptopsy‘s latest album ‘An Insatiable Violence’, I’m not gonna lie —

Earlier today, metalcore outfit Underoath released a music video for their track “Loss” from the album they released back in March, The Place After This One. It’s a firey little clip that’s simple in execution, but effective nonetheless. Underoath have an upcoming show this weekend at Rock The Park in London, Ontario, but it’s going
