This year’s Hellfest festival in France features more than 150 bands and a headlining set by Ghost cut short by the unfortunate loss of Tobias Forge’s voice. But it also included a fucking massive statue of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, which basically makes it the best event of the year as far as we’re concerned.

Which is why it’s unsurprising, if awesome, that while KISS’ Gene Simmons is worried that “rock is dead,” the Coop is here for the
Becoming a parent is one of the more metal experiences you can ever have. One minute, you’re an independent being, with agency and pastimes; the next, you’re covered in Polly-O vomit at a Mexican restaurant, asking someone if they can bring you a slightly watered-down cranberry juice and some napkins. The intensity of this experience
Last night, June 18th, occult rockers Ghost took the main stage at France’s Hellfest festival. Unfortunately the band were forced to cut their set short when frontman Tobias Forge lost his voice.

To this day, Korn‘s Untouchables is looked back on with both reverence and amazement. The album, which dropped 20 years ago last week, was a huge one for the band, spawning the massive single “Here to Stay.” That said, it also cost a buttload of money to make, and was not as universally received by
Quiet. Wait. Do you hear that? Ephraim, close the shutters. Elodie, douse that candle. Quickly, my children, quickly. Come here, gather up your rosaries, and pray with me. Hush, child. Stop your crying. Listen, and be afeared. There. The thunder. It is the crashing of his bricks. He comes. Like a broad-shouldered shadow, he falls
Most of you know Manuel Gagneux as the mind behind Zeal & Ardor, who famously perform harrowing black metal that focuses heavily on the Black experience. The band’s 2017 debut Devil Is Fine combined metal’s shadowiest subgenre with slave spirituals, while 2020’s Wake of a Nation confronted the racial strife gripping America in the fallout
Tonight saw Mötley Crüe kick off their long-awaited and twice-rescheduled Stadium Tour in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the band’s reunion after their recent farewell tour.

Last month, Polish death metallers Behemoth announced their new album Opvs Contra Natvram, and dropped the first single “Ov My Herculean Exile.” Now, the band have released another new song, “Off to War!”, which you can hear below. Perhaps most notable about “Off to War!” is that it’s a bit faster than much of Behemoth’s
There are only a handful of bands who consistently release new material that makes me wonder what the fuck everyone else is doing, but Japan’s Sigh are high among them. The outfit’s mixture of black metal, psychedelic rock, and cinematic soundtrack music is always more compelling than 95% of the other stuff out there. So

We are big fans of pirate party metallers Alestorm. However, a story has been sent to us on multiple social media platforms that we feel we should confront.
