To say we’ve all been Black Sabbath crazy over the last few days would be an understatement. Having witnessed the grand retirement party for the most important heavy metal band of all time, it’s made us listen to the classics, debate the merit of later releases, and reminded us that our heroes are mortals. One

When it comes to metal festivals, its likely you probably think of places like Germany, France, Norway… hell, even the U.S. at this point has some decent metal festivals going for it. Iceland though? Not so much. Noctem, to name a few. According to organizers, more bands are still to be added to the final

Fresh off their long run on Metallica’s M72 World Tour, the dudes in Ice Nine Kills have seemingly refocused their image a bit for the release of “The Great Unknown”, opting for more Keanu Reeves in The Matrix instead of their constant horror worship of Terrifier‘s Art the Clown. But it makes sense when you

Earlier today, Wolfgang Van Halen’s band Mammoth (they dropped the WVH last month) announced that it would be releasing its third full-length effort titled The End on October 24. Clocking in at nearly 40 minutes through 10 tracks, it’s now up for pre-order as its second single “The Spell” hit streaming platforms everywhere. Recorded in

While hard at work on her new album, Faroese musician Eivørhas announced a major career move, as she’s now an official member of Nuclear Blast’s long list of killer artists. It’s the sort of step that shouldn’t be taken lightly, but she said in a prepared statement that her joining the label made sense. “Signing

Cum. Jizz. Semen. Baby batter. Nut. Seed. Load. Ball juice. Doesn’t matter what you call it, apparently some of it was sold on a Profanatica merch table at a recent show. Whether or not you believe it was actual seminal fluid and that it came from the band’s vocalist/drummer Paul Ledney, is up to whomever

For the ninth time in their career, Of Mice & Men are slated to drop a full-length album later this year through Century Media Records. Another Miracle, as they’re calling it, is a new slab of music that fans who’ve seen the band live might have heard some of, as the guys have been rolling

In the last few months, Born of Osiris has had a lot of changes. From parting ways with their long-time guitarist Lee McKinney and keyboardist Joe Buras, to announcing Fallujah guitarist Scott Carstairs as their temporary fill-in and a brand-new album. So far, 2025 has served as pretty turbulent for the prog-metal outfit. Despite all

Over the last few weeks, Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap has found itself in the crossfire of angry right-wingers and Zionists who take umbrage with their pro-Palestine message. That political ire and their unwillingness to stand down’s captured a lot of peoples’ attention, including Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who apparently finds more in

After everything that’s happened over the decades, you may think you finally know Ozzy Osbourne. Having just retired following one of the most memorable events in metal history, it’s apparently time for the ‘Prince of Darkness’ to give us all one last… book. Set to release on October 7 via Grand Central Publishing, Ozzy’s final

Have you ever wanted to listen to one of your favorite bands, but you’re nursing a hellacious hangover? Loud music isn’t gonna help you any, so you turn to the more relaxing tones of some lo-fi beats to study/sleep/relax to. Well, tomorrow you can get those same soothing tones, just with a Bring Me The

There’s been a bit of confusion surrounding the English doom metal band My Dying Bride and who’s actually fronting the band. If you asked long-time fans, they’d say it’s still Aaron Stainthorpe in that role, but the band recently recruited Swallow The Sun’s Mikko Kotamäki to handle vocals while on tour. That sort of move

Well, it’s Thursday afternoon and just as they’d promised, Deftones released a new single titled “My Mind Is A Mountain.” Not only that, but they’ve pulled back the curtain on their forthcoming album Private Music, which is set for release on August 22. This is the first new music from the Sacramento, California-based band since

Yep. There are some new releases this week. Check ’em out if you want. Born of Osiris Through Shadows (Sumerian Records) We’ve been big fans of BoO for a while now and after reading our recent interview with the band, the hype for this one’s been pretty damn high. I imagine a good amount of

Weird, wild, and frenetic style, Squid Pisser have carved a niche out for themselves by being absolutely and unabashedly themselves. Their avant-garde sound can be jarring at times, but it works for them. That’s why the announcement from earlier today that they’ll be touring the U.S. next month is so damn exciting — it’s an

Do not adjust your computer screens. The music video for the new track “Blindsides” below is indeed an anime fever dream courtesy of djenty mathcore outfitCar Bomb. They’ve got a brand new EP titled Tiled Whisper Dreams coming out on August 1 and this is their latest attempt at getting you hyped for its release.

One of the coolest things about metal is the fact that it really is for everyone. Doesn’t matter your skin color, creed, geographical location… doesn’t mater. All that matters is the music. That’s why I’ve been a long-time proponent of bands like Babymetal and Bloodywood. Purists may dislike them, but people paying attention to where

What happens when you take members from Warbringer, Soulfly, and Threat Signal, put them in a room and have them write together? You apparently get what sounds like an early 2000s metal track — at least that’s what their new single “Rise” sounds like to me, anyway. Comprised of Jon Howard (Threat Signal) on vocals,

Because making an album isn’t hard enough, CKY’s An Answer Can Be Found was almost yeeted into oblivion thanks to what might be one of the more avoidable tech disasters I’ve heard in a while. According to frontman Deron Miller, the entire record just disappeared one night thanks to a hard drive allegedly overloaded with

Firespawn, the Swedish death metal juggernaut made up of veterans from some of the country’s most ferocious bands, have officially announced their return. And yes, they’ve tapped none other than Jörgen Sandström (ex-Grave, Entombed, Torture Division) to take over vocal duties following the tragic 2021 death of L-G Petrov. In a statement soaked in reverence
