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.

King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and his wife, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox, are back with the latest entry in their ongoing “Sunday Lunch” series of cover videos.

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

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.

Austin stoner metal crew The Sword ended their recent tour alongside experimental act Zombi with a show at Mohawk in their hometown.

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,

Sometimes, all it takes is a name. When I first saw Hosticide‘s e-mail in my inbox, my immediate thought was that I needed to know what ‘hosticide’ is. Is it when a parasite kills its host? Is it killing your host, like at a dinner party? Did it actually have to do with hostility or
