Death metal will cross the Atlantic this summer, as Dying Fetus plans to spread their sound across as many countries as possible through their ‘Bludgeonend Summer:”. Along the way, they’ll have Rivers of Nihil and Psycroptic to back up the nightly insanity. The tour will kick off in Munchen, Germany on July 27 and come

After two nearly two years as Foo Fighters’ drummer following the untimely death of Taylor Hawkins, the band has unexpectedly let Josh Freese go. Not only that, but it seems like it’s come completely out of left field. According to a statement from Freese, he didn’t receive any explanation as to why he was being

There are some things in life that are just facts of nature. Grass is green. The sky is blue. Water is wet. And in our little corner of the music world, we all know that Mötley Crüe vocalist Vince Neil sucks. So when Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth said it in a recent interview,

We all know Black Flag has been through it in some way or another. Despite whatever is going on with the founding guitarist Greg Ginn and the drama he finds himself in, he is making sure the band perseveres. They’ve officially revealed what their new lineup looks like, and it may not look like what

Guess who’s back? Back again? The millennial in me is bashing my head into a wall not finishing that lyric, but y’all get the idea. The answer is Abigail Williams, that one black metal band named after the obvious. They’ve shared their first song since basically pre-COVID, called “Nonexistence,” and let me tell you, I’m

You know what, why not just place “guess who” when it comes to the music we listen to? Everything else is so numbingly droll that we should just give this shit a shot. That’s why people watch the Masked Singer, right? I’ve never watched that show, but what I have watched is the new video

If we’re being honest, history is a huge bitch. We clearly have no respect for it, and we clearly learn nothing from it. BUT, when it’s done right and worthy of praise, we’ll give it. Like Morrisound Recording. The legendary Tampa, Florida-based recording studio has seen and helped many death metal acts make their presence

It’s been about eight months since guitarist Dave Navarro and vocalist Perry Farrell had an onstage altercation in Boston that led to Jane’s Addiction cancelling the rest of their U.S. tour. It seems like the whole thing has been quite rough on the band, which has led Navarro to give a less than inspiring update

I guess this really isn’t that surprising, considering the trajectory Sleep Token have been on since their debut full-length Sundowning came out in 2019. We’re here to speak on another one of their albums, though—their latest Even In Arcadia. It’s only been out for about a week, and it’s already doing better than others of

With the summer just around the corner, U.S. metalheads have an abundance of options when it comes to upcoming concerts and where they spend their hard-earned cash. This morning, massively successful Massachusetts-based band Ice Nine Kills announced a headlining U.S. tour that’ll be sure to be insanely popular. Set to kick off on August 10

Back in February,Hatebreed founding member and bassist Chris Beattie was unceremoniously let go by the band. As fans and people that have followed the band for decades now, it seemingly came out of left field — especially how matter of fact and quickly worded the band’s official statement on the matter had been on social

Forget pyro on stage, System Of A Down fans have you covered. At least that’s what the band experienced during a recent show of theirs in São Paulo, Brazil. In a couple almost unbelievable Instagram posts, the band shared some insane video footage from that gig and let me tell you… it’s absolutely wild. As

We may not be getting any Alice In Chains dates at this time due to Sean Kinney’s health issues, but that doesn’t mean the show has to be over for guitarist Jerry Cantrell. With his fourth solo effort I Want Blood now roughly seven months old, Cantrell’s planning to still get out there and support

Concertgoers out in Europe will be able to bear witness to a killer death metal show later this summer, as Suffocation spends part of this summer to tear shit up in that continent. With various supporting acts like Warbringer, Psycroptic, and Skeletal Remains offering their own brands of brutality, this particular run of dates will

In about a month’s time, fans of Metallica‘s wrongly-maligned album Load will be able to get their hands on what could be the absolute definitive version of the 1996 album. With the band’s already legendary pre-Black Album releases already getting the reissued and remastered, it was only a matter of time before Load got that

What do you get when you combinePuscifer,Primus, andA Perfect Circleunder one roof and a singular bill where at different points those three bands will kind of mind meld together to create something cool as hell? You get Sessanta. For a while now, Sessanta 2.0 has been making its way through North America and knowing they’d

Undecayed Swedish death metal horde Undecayed have returned with a vengeance, premiering their devastating new single, “The Descendants of Death.” The track rips straight from the band’s long-awaited debut album, In Death’s Image, set for release on May 21 through Lethal Scissor Records.

That’s not just a layup of a question—we’re earnestly digging for names. It’s not always obvious who in our community is glued
