With the release of their sophomore album To Cross or To Burn now firmly behind them, Venamoris are back with yet another dark, sultry track titled “Contrapasso.” This time around, Dave and Paula Lombardo (yes, that Dave Lombardo) simply released a single track to remind the world of their musical journey as a couple that

What a wonderful time we’re all living in.

Dave Mustaine and Metallica. David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar. Bruce Dickinson and weed smokers. In the decades that make up metal’s history, there have been storied rivalries that bleed into legend.

Last week, Sleep Token released their highly anticipated fourth studio album Even In Arcadia amid a ton of fanfare.

Within the last hour, metalcore outfit and Carrie Underwood’s favorite band I Prevail announced via social media that they were parting ways with their founding vocalist Brian Burkheiser.

Okay, this might be one of the more ridiculous lore dumps from that Swedish band everyone apparently loves to dunk on, Ghost.
