The band launched a charity T-shirt campaign with all proceeds going to the war effort; the shirts have since raised over $140,000.

There’s a reason Mantar are not the biggest band in the world, despite writing some of the catchiest rock songs you’ll hear this side of our mortal coil. The German duo work hard to produce music that is both compelling and incredibly ugly on its face — they’re sort of our generation’s Eyehategod — and

Remember HIM? Love Metal, the heartagram, “Wings of a Butterfly?” The band had a brief moment of being the most important metal act in the world with their syrupy romance riffs. Now, frontman Ville Valo has announced his new solo effort, with a new album in the works, a new single on the way soon,

In a boldly honest move, Australian metalcore act Parkway Drive have canceled their upcoming North American tour with Hatebreed, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Stick To Your Guns in order to focus on internal conflicts within the band.

First, Sacred Reich frontman Phil Rind was hospitalized with a non-COVID-related illness, forcing his band to miss several shows on the trek.

The edgy electronic sounds of the ‘80s have an unexpectedly relaxing effect. People may like the decade because they are familiar with its gated-reverb drumming, tonal-collide synths, and climactic vocals softened by the fuzz of vintage recording techniques. But we seem to always be chasing the nostalgia of that period, as though we feel at

Has anyone reading this ever tried Viagra? I have not, and I’ve always wondered what it’s like (I mean, besides being like just having a boner). But something I’ll put out there is that I don’t think there should be a stigma attached to its use. So what if you need some pep to get

Dream Theater! Aw, what the FUCK? Yup, Dream Theater won this year’s Best Metal Performance Grammy for their track “The Alien.” This is especially wack because everyone knows that if anyone really should have won this year’s Best Metal Performance Grammy, it should’ve been Gojira.

Man, at times The Crow feels unrescuable as a property. This is in part due to how many people have tried to put their spin on it — remember when Rob Zombie was going to write a version? — and partly because the original film is such a masterpiece of style. Even if you hate

Today, Meshuggah‘s long-anticipated new album Immutable sees the light of day. For many, the release is a massive musical event, marking the band’s first new studio album in some six years (alas, our reviewer did not see it that way).

They have released a lyric video for for the title track to make the deal just a little sweeter. The album will feature a new line-up for the Fresno, CA, act, consisting of singer/guitarist Trevor

The metal community is certainly not immune to the effects of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s current invasion of Ukraine. While several bands are raising money through various means, Ukrainian acts like Jinjer continue to make difficult sacrifices for their families and homeland. Now, post-black metal act White Ward are auctioning off rare test pressings of

Austin stoner metal crew The Sword ended their recent tour alongside experimental act Zombi with a show at Mohawk in their hometown. The pre-show provided an extra dose of ear-splitting madness with sets by Easy Prey and Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol.

In case you had anything big happen in your life since 2019, nu-metal click-click-boomers Saliva were planning to reunite with their vocalist Josey Scott. This reunion, unfortunately, was put “on hold” in early 2021 (maybe the two sides just didn’t click, or click, or even boom). Now, however, it looks like Santa Claus is real,
