Welp. They’ve been talking about it all coming to an end eventually, but Oceano has finally released details about their final show ever. Set to take place on December 6 at The WC Social Club in West Chicago, Illinois, the band will have something special planned for long-time fans that come out to say goodbye.

I don’t know about you guys, but I get a little squeamish whenever I see someone performing on stage with barefeet. Just thinking of all the hocked loogies and spilled drinks and other potential hazards on any given stage gives me the willies. But even that level of discomfort watching Matt Baty perform shoeless couldn’t

Zakk Wylde’s been a busy, busy boy as of late. We all know the dude’s been all over the world touring with Pantera over the last couple of years, but he’s still got his other projects, too. His most recent solo effort was Book Of Shadows II from a couple years ago, but he also

Right now, two legendary acts are touring the U.S., continuing their legacies and defending the faith, as it were. The “Metal God” himself Rob Halford and his bandmates in Judas Priest have been sharing a stage with the king of shock rock himself, Alice Cooper, with Corrosion of Conformity providing some killer support. You bet

Well, that was close. Things could’ve ended differently for Kiss vocalist Gene Simmons earlier this week on Tuesday, October 7, when he was involved in a car crash in Malibu, California. He’s okay, but the situation definitely sounds like it could’ve turned out worse once you hear some of the details. The accident happened off

Wah wah wahhhhh folks. If you happen to live in Europe or the UK, then it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to see Dream Theater on their “An Evening with Dream Theater” tour, the one supporting their latest album Parasomnia. They were supposed to head over there next year, but now it seems like

As a society, we’re becoming more cooked with each passing day. We’re basically burnt to a fuckin crisp at this point and it’s not like we needed another indicator of that, but, here we are. The red hats have been up in arms since Bad Bunny was announced as next year’s Super Bowl halftime show

We can’t act like we didn’t see this coming. If you’ve been up on My Dying Bride news, then you’re likely already aware that their founding vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe has basically been ghosting the band since last year. The English doom legends have been forced to work around him since, but now, they won’t have

This is music to my little deathcore ears. Winds of Plague, who recently reunited with their original members, haven’t released anything since 2017’s Blood of My Enemy. Now that they’ve got three shows—including playing this year’s Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky and Aftershock in Sacramento, California—under their belt, they may be itching to a

Now here’s something we can get behind. Without getting into the nitty gritty (not that I need to, since you can just look around you), a new movement within the music community is prompting artists and labels to remove their catalogs from Spotify and other streaming services as part of No Music for Genocide. Among

I don’t know about my fellow elder millennials, but there are few deaths that me hit as hard in the music scene as that of Chris Cornell. When he died back in 2017 at the far-too-young age of 52, it was a shock. He’d been playing with Soundgarden once again, but he ultimately took his

Leave it up to Ice Nine Kills to make something more boisterous than it already is. I mean that in a good way. Just look at this new bit of visual delight they’ve unleashed unto the world. “The Laugh Track” finds itself just as vibrant and in your face as the source material it’s pulling

Tim Lambesis is kind of like a roach at this point—he just won’t really go away. After attempting to revive As I Lay Dying a few times to no avail, the band has returned YET AGAIN with another lineup and a new single, called “Echoes.” It’s been suggested that this current attempt at relevance is

Here’s something for you Slayer heads, as well as those who love swimming in the murk of technical details. To mark the 35th anniversary of their album Seasons in the Abyss, the band has launched a special track-by-track video feature on Slaytanic Verses, the band’s free online museum, where Kerry King and Tom Araya will

It looks like next year is shaping up to very bountiful when it comes to festivals, particularly the Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival. They’ve just announced another new round of bands added to the lineup, and they’re beefy. The bill now includes Amon Amarth, Body Count, In Flames, Kreator, and Sepultura. The last one

Emotional goodbyes suck, so why not have a whole movie full of them? That’s what filmmaker Morgan Tedd kinda did for metalcore band Misery Signals, capturing all of the best and likely emotional moments of their 2024 farewell tour. A little less than a month after it gets its online release, the doc, titled Love

The fellas in Born Of Osiris have yet to find someone to fill the void in their lineup after the departure of guitaristLee Mickeney, but they’ve got a long-ass tour coming up. What ever are they to do?! Well, according to an Instagram post made this afternoon, they’re going to be temporarily employing the services

Think back to where you were back in 2000. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it? Hell, most of you reading this are probably too young to even conceive what 25 years ago was like. (Spoilers: It at least felt better than our current hellscape.) For the women of Canadian metal act Kittie, 2000 was

There may not be a whole lot of certainty as to what’s going on within My Dying Bride, what with everything that’s going on with their founding vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe, but one thing’s certain — new music is moving forward unabated. At least that’s according to founding guitarist Andrew Craighan. While speaking with the Everblack

New York-based technical death metal act Artificial Brain will be bringing their brand of sci-fi dripped brutality to our friends across the pond this October and November. And they won’t be doing it alone, as Profound Lore labelmates Suffering Hour will be joining them along for the trek. Set to kick off on October 23
