We chatted with Denver-based atmospheric band Sungrave about their recent self-released EP, Cold Flesh and No One. The EP was written, produced, and performed by Sungrave and Creaturess as part of their fall 2025 Midwest tour. The cover art was painted by Denver-based artist Josh Porter, specifically inspired by the music and concept. Drums were

This summer, thrash metal stalwarts Vio-lence will be going global with their show, as they head out on the ‘Eruption Of Screams’ international tour later this summer. Set to kick off on July 20 in Gdańsk, Poland, the tour will run pretty much non-stop until it all comes to a close on August 28 in

When a tour featuring Lamb Of God, Kublai Khan TX, Sanguisugabogg, and Fit For An Autopsy announced late last night, I gotta admit — it sounded almost too good to be true. Surely there’s no way that many bands on such a tear lately could share the stage at the same time, I thought. Thankfully,

It’s been a minute since the world got new Korn tunes, but that’s all changed thanks to a nearly three-year-old video game. Earlier this morning, the influential nu metal band released “Reward The Scars”, a new track dropped to promote the Lord Of Hatred expansion pack for Blizzard’s action RPG Diablo IV. With the expansion

Earlier this week, motherfucking Slayer announced that they were celebrating the 40th anniversary of Reign In Blood with a pair of special shows: one on September 4 in Shakopee, Minnesota and another on November 13 in Los Angeles, California. The list of supporting acts are stacked and all, but we should have known they weren’t

Two nights of epic proportions are slated for later this year, as legendary thrash band Slayer gears up to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their massive 1986 classic Reign In Blood. One of the shows is set in Minnesota and the other’s set in California, but regardless of the location, we know one thing —

Death metal mofos from the Empire State, Undeath, are done recording their fourth full-length studio effort. And though we won’t know much about it for a while longer, the soon-to-be-announced release will be their first on Relapse Records after signing with the label. According to the band, the new album was produced by Colin Marson

Sexcuse me, bohabs, but say it loud with me so everyone can hear it — FUCK CANCER. It’s a brutal scourge and unfortunately, another one of our own has been affected. This time, it’s GWAR founding member and human slave to The Sexecutioner, Chuck Varga. It’s a shitty situation and we don’t know what he’s

A new wrestler is making her WWE debut next week and she’s got a bit of a connection to our world, too. Rayne Leverkusen will be joining the major wrestling promotion’s developmental show next week as the “Maiden of Metal,” Lizzie Rain. For those in the know, “maiden” is particularly telling, as she’s also the

Over their long ass career, Judas Priest have had some banger cover art in their discography. British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, Painkiller… the list goes on. Well, you can add one more kick ass cover art to the list, as their new greatest hits compilation The Best of Judas Priest has some sick art as

One of the biggest questions facing Korn fans these days is whether founding bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu would ever come back to the band. He’s been out of the fold ever since he stepped down in 2021 and even though he contributed bass parts to the band’s 2022 album Requiem, he’s largely been radio silence

Two days after posting a cryptic little teaser, both The Sword and Red Fang revealed just moments ago that they’ll be heading out on tour this August. Only downside is that it’s limited to the U.S. west coast at the moment. Set as a co-headlining dealy, this tour will see both Red Fang and The

Finnish symphonic metal outfit Amberian Dawn released the second single off their forthcoming album Temptation’s Gates earlier today, titled “The Vision of Dreaming”. And though the album won’t come out until June 26 via Napalm Records, it’s yet another introduction to the band’s new vocalist Nicole Willerton. Speaking of the single, keyboardist/guitarist Tuomas Seppälä explained

Long Island-based crossover actExtinction A.D.are back to kick some teeth in and they’re doing it with reckless abandon thanks to their latest single “Truth or Consequences”. Oh and they’ve got a little help on this one from Incendiary’s Brian Audley. Spanning a little under two and a half minutes, this one’s a sledgehammer to the

Metalcore outfit Darkest Hour made a big announcement earlier today, as they announced that they’ve re-signed with MNRK Heavy and have teamed up with producer Mark Lewis for the eventual recording of their 11th studio record next month. Details about the band’s moves were made public in a social media post, in which the band

“I Skogens Djup” is probably not the song title you’d expect from Vancouver, BC-based melodic/symphonic DM outfit Atavistia. After all, Swedish is clearly not the Canuck foursome’s first language. But this latest single from the band’s upcoming fifth full-length, Old Gods Awaken, was inspired by Scandinavian folk metal and Atavistia—Mattias Sippola (guitar/vocals), Max Sepulveda (drums),

Swedish doom metal titansMonolord are going to release their next album Neverending on May 29 via Relapse Records, so of course they released a new single to keep folks hyped up. And as you’d expect, this new track titled “Oozing Wound” is a fuzzy, heavy, and at times ethereal. Speaking of the track, vocalist/guitarist Thomas

For a while now, Zakk Wylde’s been a busy, busy boy. Not only had he been touring with Pantera for a loooong time, but his band Black Label Society released their latest album Engines of Destruction and has been on tour with Zakk Sabbath (Wylde’s Black Sabbath cover band) for its ‘American Crusade’ tour. That’s

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted has been living his best life. Ever since leaving the biggest band on the planet, the dude’s been cashing in fat royalties checks and living off the Black Album for decades. He’s also since done other musical stuff to varying degrees of success and exposure, playing with Ozzy, Voivod, and

For 15 consecutive days this summer, the weird-ass grindcore outfit known as Squid Pisser will be exclusively touring the western part of the United States for their ‘Internal Violence Tour 2026’. Set to kick off on June 18 in Las Vegas, the tour will run until it meets its end on July 2 in San
