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

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
