Well, it’s Thursday afternoon and just as they’d promised, Deftones released a new single titled “My Mind Is A Mountain.” Not only that, but they’ve pulled back the curtain on their forthcoming album Private Music, which is set for release on August 22. This is the first new music from the Sacramento, California-based band since

Yep. There are some new releases this week. Check ’em out if you want. Born of Osiris Through Shadows (Sumerian Records) We’ve been big fans of BoO for a while now and after reading our recent interview with the band, the hype for this one’s been pretty damn high. I imagine a good amount of

Weird, wild, and frenetic style, Squid Pisser have carved a niche out for themselves by being absolutely and unabashedly themselves. Their avant-garde sound can be jarring at times, but it works for them. That’s why the announcement from earlier today that they’ll be touring the U.S. next month is so damn exciting — it’s an

Do not adjust your computer screens. The music video for the new track “Blindsides” below is indeed an anime fever dream courtesy of djenty mathcore outfitCar Bomb. They’ve got a brand new EP titled Tiled Whisper Dreams coming out on August 1 and this is their latest attempt at getting you hyped for its release.

One of the coolest things about metal is the fact that it really is for everyone. Doesn’t matter your skin color, creed, geographical location… doesn’t mater. All that matters is the music. That’s why I’ve been a long-time proponent of bands like Babymetal and Bloodywood. Purists may dislike them, but people paying attention to where

What happens when you take members from Warbringer, Soulfly, and Threat Signal, put them in a room and have them write together? You apparently get what sounds like an early 2000s metal track — at least that’s what their new single “Rise” sounds like to me, anyway. Comprised of Jon Howard (Threat Signal) on vocals,

Because making an album isn’t hard enough, CKY’s An Answer Can Be Found was almost yeeted into oblivion thanks to what might be one of the more avoidable tech disasters I’ve heard in a while. According to frontman Deron Miller, the entire record just disappeared one night thanks to a hard drive allegedly overloaded with

Firespawn, the Swedish death metal juggernaut made up of veterans from some of the country’s most ferocious bands, have officially announced their return. And yes, they’ve tapped none other than Jörgen Sandström (ex-Grave, Entombed, Torture Division) to take over vocal duties following the tragic 2021 death of L-G Petrov. In a statement soaked in reverence

After a week of Black Sabbath worship, we’re to your regularly scheduled playlist. This time around, we’ve got a whole mess of artists that put new tracks out over the course of the week. New Deftones, of course, along with a whole mess of other releases. As always, we’ve updated the playlist on both Spotify

It feels like we’ve been talking about this forever, but Anthrax‘s follow up to 2016’s For All Kings finally has vocals recorded. It’s been a long time coming, especially when you consider the fact that work on the record began back during the pandemic, but we’re now one step closer to getting a name and

Exodus fans, the Dukes era is officially back on, and according to the man himself, the next record isn’t just business as usual — it’s shaping up to be his best yet. In a new interview with Chicago’s Rebel Radio 92.5 FM, Rob Dukes confirmed he’s deep in the vocal booth for the thrash legends’

Tom Morello calling a band “the new Rage Against The Machine” was bound to make headlines. But this endorsement? It’s got David Draiman doing David Draiman things on the internet again. During a recent appearance on The Strombo Show, Morello sang the praises of Irish rap trio Kneecap, describing them as today’s spiritual successor to

The Norwegian lunatics in Deathhammer are back to ruin your summer in the best possible way. Their sixth full-length slab of blackthrash chaos, Crimson Dawn, drops August 29 via Hells Headbangers, just in time to melt what’s left of your face before fall. As always, you’ll be able to grab it on CD, vinyl, and

It’s looking like 2026 is gonna kick off just right for metalheads across the pond, as British outfit Sylosis will be spending about a month out on the road across the U.K. and Europe. Normally that would be a cool enough announcement, but it also turns out the tour will feature the likes of Revocation,

Let’s face it — when you have a band that features Corrosion of Conformity’s Pepper Keenan and Crowbar’s Kirk Windstein on guitars, you’ve got an impressive riff factory. Both of those gentlemen know how to write some killer riffs, so it should come as no surprise that when it came time to tease some new

When it comes to having an argument, there comes a time when you can either attempt to de-escalate things and cool the conversation down or you can double down on your principles and go on the offensive. It seems that the Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap and Disturbed frontman David Draiman have both opted for the

A Southern California hardcore band is going out on their terms… at least for the time being, as God’s Hate announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus after last night’s set at the Sound and Fury Festival in Los Angeles. News of their decision to temporarily call it quits was posted to the band’s

This winter, Omnium Gatherum will bring their brand of melodic death metal to North America through their headlining tour with Aether Realm and Hinayana. Set to kick off in Boston on November 16 and coming to a close on December 14 in New York City, the tour will span a total of 27 dates across

For a buncha dudes from Australia, the five-some that makes up King Parrot sure plays North America a ton. At least that’s what it feels like lately, having toured with Pantera in the past and whatnot. But all that’s to say that they’re gonna be headlining a tour in North America starting later this month.

Heavy psych stoner metal artists Stone Jesus know their way through a solid tune and luckily, we’ll be getting some more of that in the release of their next full-length effort Songs to Sun. Set to release on September 19 via Seasons of Mist, the band says Songs to Sun will be the first entry
