What a wonderful time we’re all living in. Nazis are emboldened and on the rise, tariffs are going to send our economy into a tailspin, and our fascist president has a not-so-secret police force of jackbooted thugs rounding people up for deportation to an El Salvadorian prison. Usually you’d love to be able to turn

Progressive tech death metal outfitFallujahare back with their third single off their forthcoming album Xenotaph, “Step Through The Portal And Breathe”. With the single’s release, the band said this latest track should feel familiar to long-time fans, yet still feel fresh enough to get hyped about. “‘Step Through the Portal and Breathe’ is classic heavy

For the third single off their forthcoming album Savage New Times, Arizona-based thrash/groove metal outfitIncite is taking a bit of a left turn with “Dolores”. While their previous singles “No Mercy No Forgiveness” and “Just a Rat” come at you like a monster truck loaded for bear, this new track takes a darker, more melodic

It’s hard to think of any other dad-rock band that does old school noise rock quite like Helmet. In recent news, the New York foursome has taken a trip to Seattle’s famous KEXP Studio for a live session. For those of you who might be living under a rock, KEXP is a non-profit organization that

We’ve been on the record for a long time about how shitty Live Nation is for the industry as a monopolistic force on the average concertgoer’s experience. They own a ridiculous amount of venues across the U.S., they charge exorbitant fees on top of ticket sales, and they just in general suck. So it’s with

If there’s one thing to learn when it comes to metal bands and definitive statements like “we’ll never tour again” or “we’re retiring” or something equally huge like that, it’s that they usually walk back those statements in due time. Like Marvel characters, they’re never truly dead. Yet when Dutch death metal outfit posted on

After sharing the thrash metal spotlight with the reanimated Power Trip for the last few months now, it’s looking like it’s finally time for Fugitive to reclaim its spot. With a brand new banger titled “Spheres of Virulence” out this morning and the announcement of their signing with Blue Grape Music, it’s looking like things

A music festival organized by Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross? Oh, this shit is about to be cryptic and horny as hell. I trust we’ll all be in good hands. Introducing Future Ruins, a new festival coming to Los Angeles on November 8 that sees creative powerhouse duo Nine Inch Nails‘

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. But only one such rivalry exists in the year of our lord 2025 where it’s very likely only one side knows it’s even

Last week, Sleep Token released their highly anticipated fourth studio album Even In Arcadia amid a ton of fanfare. And despite the mixed reaction from fans regarding singles like “Caramel” and “Damocles”, which saw the band experiment even more with their sound, it’s still managing to explode on the charts. As it stands right now,

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. The split was apparently a mutual decision, with both parties feeling it was the right thing to do so both entities could reasonably move forward. According to

Over the weekend, some pretty sad news broke out about Alice In Chains band member Sean Kinney. While anticipated to play their show at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, May 8, the band ended up cancelling last minute. Then came the extremely unfortunate news that they were no longer going ahead with the rest

New Jersey natives and metalcore pioneers Deadguy are back with a pissed off new single that’s sure to get even the crustiest of oldheads into the pit, titled “New Best Friend.” Featured on their forthcoming album Near-Death Travel Services, out on June 27 via Relapse Records, it’s a fast and furious four minutes that nearly

Okay, this might be one of the more ridiculous lore dumps from that Swedish band everyone apparently loves to dunk on, Ghost. For years now, they’ve been releasing these “Chapter” videos on YouTube that advances the band’s narrative and this time, they not only might be hinting at some future event, but they’re apparently doing

This year’s Polar Music PrizeAwards ceremony is taking place at the the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, May 27. British rock band Queen are set to receive the official Swedish international award. In celebration of their win, Ghost will perform a tribute to the band alongside Opeth guitarist Fredrik Åkesson. As a long-time

It’s looking like this year’s iteration of Party Weekend is going to be an absolute banger. Taking place at The Iron Horse Saloon in Daytona Beach, Florida on September 27, some major players and heavy hitters are going to take the stage with some pretty special sets. According to organizers, the main event that night

We’ve got some new EPs, a killer instrumental LP, and the casual madness of an Atlanta-based mathcore band. What more do you want out of a new release week? There’s some cool shit in this one, so check it out and let us know what you’ll be listening to in the comments below. Full Of

There have been rumblings on the internet in recent weeks that Lorna Shore had new music coming down the pipe. A New Jersey Turnpike billboard near the band’s hometown sorta spilled the beans, but now we have official confirmation — Lorna Shore’s fifth full-length offering I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me will be released

Man… yikes. For a band that wants to pretend they’re the “kings” of thrash metal, Kings of Thrash put out probably one of the cheesiest thrash songs in a loooong time. Like not even in the “heh, this is so cheesy that it’s good” way, either. It’s got a certain low production value and low

We’re less than a month out from the release of the new Volbeat album God Of Angels Trust and they released its latest single, “Time Will Heal”. And if you’re expecting the kind of mid-tempo rock track that the Danish band’s been known to put out, then this will be right up your alley. With
