The guys in Nickelback have had both sides of the rock stardom coin. On one hand, they sell out stadiums and sell tons of albums to their legion of adoring fans around the world. On the other, however, they’ve been the butt of every dad rock butt rock joke almost since they burst onto the

Gore Machine is preparing to drop the debut album, Macerated & Liquified, out February 23 via Horror Pain Gore Death, and you can preview it here with us. The goregrind solo project is headed up by Druesome (guitars extinction protocol), who performs all instruments, vocals and sampling. This record is a concept album that focuses on

Sometimes it’s nice to think about labels gone by. Back in their day (1996-2010), Ferret Music were tastemakers in the metalcore and hardcore scenes, occasionally reaching beyond that. Though it’s been nearly 30 years since some of the label’s first releases, many are still relevant today. Here are five times Ferret Music got it right.

Pirate metal outfit Alestorm have released “Voyage of the Dead Marauder” ahead of their EP of the same name which will drop March 22 via Napalm Records. Vocalist Chris Bowes says about the new music: “Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of being in one of those female fronted symphonic metal bands

Damnations Domain are back on the stage, and that’s noteworthy because they feature members of Year of the Knife, who got in a horrific car accident last year. The Delaware death metal band played in Philadelphia on February 10 with Dead Upon Arrival, 10 Sluggz, Problem Solver, Hamtoid, Splattered Spine, and Execute. From footage and

For over two decades, Tankcrimes has been one of the underground metal and punk scene’s most consistent labels, putting out records from established bands like Municipal Waste and Fucked Up (plus long defunct powerviolence staples like Spazz and Dystopia) as well as still-growing artists like Dead Heat, Necrot and Brainoil. The Tankcrimes family will be reunited this

Where they from? Oakland by way of Indonesia. The Super Bowl was this past weekend. I put $50 on Kansas City, took the over and I lost by ONE GOD DAMN POINT! There is no greater sign that god hates you then losing a parlay by a single point. Everything is rigged, everything is canceled.

Denver is a hotbed for metal right now—ask us how we know!—and its next export is Our Grief is Thus, the second album from Pagan folk/death metal outfit Oak, Ash & Thorn. As you’ll hear on the song “Auras,” video streaming below, the quartet deal in a very melodic style of death metal, using sung vocals, bright

New York City is definitely known for being overrun by rats, and you can add Brooklyn psych doom cult Castle Rat to the infestation. This retro-sounding quartet—Riley Pinkerton (vocals/guitar/”Rat Queen”), Franco Vittore (lead guitar/”Count”), Ronnie Lanzilotta III (bass/”Plague Doctor”), Josh Strmic (drums/”The All-Seeing Druid”)—have conjured a brand new video for the slow-building, doomy track, “Cry For

Given that he’s put out three EPs since 2020 (Telemark, Pharos, and Fascination Street Sessions) it’d be unfair to think that Ihsahn’s solo career has lain dormant. That said, it’s been nearly six whole years since the Emperor frontman’s last LP—2018’s Ámr—so his return to full-length creations has been highly anticipated (to say the least).

Well, that didn’t take long. I know we reported earlier today about the fact that Kittie might be teasing their next album pretty soon, but it turns out “pretty soon” was less than 12 hours away. Just moments ago, Jose Mangin of Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal announced that the Canadian foursome would be debuting their

Nu-metal collided with evil disco in New Jersey over the weekend, as the third leg of Static-X‘s ‘Machine Killer Tour’ hit the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville. Along with co-headliners Sevendust, they ruled the stage after openers Dope and Lines of Loyalty got things warmed up. There’s still a few more days left in this current

Death metal quartet Aberration hail from Minneapolis but their music sounds like it comes straight from Hell. They are locked and loaded to release Refracture, their first proper full-length, which arrives next month. The album information lists Portal, Antediluvian and Altarage as reference points but what Aberration play is more twisted than that; take a listen to “Interstitial

Remember, some 25 years ago, when we used to be super excited when stuff was described as post-metal, and even more so if a somewhat timid “sludge” tag was thrown in there for good measure as well? Though never the best music descriptor, there was a time when it actually meant something, vague as it

Cleveland-based crossover hardcore group Punching Moses released a new single and video called “Escape the Mausoleum” off their upcoming sophomore album Live Short and Suffer which is due out March 8 from Seeing Red Records. The song—which will be the album’s closing track—and the accompanying music video both pay homage to the classic 1979 horror

Detroit metallic hardcore band Child Bite is heading out on a short stint of tour dates leading up to some of the biggest shows of their career as they get set to open for legendary metal gods Pantera and lesser metal deities Lamb of God. Their upcoming tour dates will take the band from a

Midwest death continues to plague middle America as Fargo, North Dakota death metal heroes Maul set off on a US tour with Missouri grindcore freaks Primitive Rage and additional support on two dates from Dallas, Texas death metal monsters Dysmorphia.

Delaware’s blackened hardcore heroes Simulakra return with their new EP Reincarnation which is due out on March 15 from DAZE. Following the new EP’s religious themes, the band put out their debut single off the EP called “Heathen’s Prayer,” a powerful, devastating new track with single art that looks like two people holding books as
