For the first time since the release of their 2023 album Datalysium, The Zenith Passage have released a new track — and it’s serving as the first song featuring their new drummer Max Sepulveda. The track in question, titled “Fleshbound Reliquary”, is a punchy track full of stops and starts that highlight the band’s musical

It’s so weird not seeing Sam Rivers on stage with Limp Bizkit. It feels empty—a hollow hole incapable of being filled. Still, Limp Bizkit is trying to push forward without one of its key pieces, having now played their first show without Rivers last night (Saturday, November 29) at Explanada Estadio Azteca in Mexico City,

Time is really flying the fuck by, amirite? So much so, that Japanese avant-garde black metal band Sigh have a reached a milestone with their sophomore record Infidel Art. It’s reached its 30th anniversary, and the band have released a special anniversary edition on a few different formats. Sigh hit it right when it comes

Oh, Glenn Danzig. What a special person you are. So special, in fact, that you’re actually going to do something special for us this New Year’s Eve (December 31). What is that, you might ask? Well, if you remember back at the very beginning of COVID, which was pretty much one million years ago, good

Nine Inch Nails on their own are one of the best things to ever happen to this planet, so of course they deserve a level of praise higher than any peak. Magnetic Eye Records are particularly versed in a reimagined praise in a sense, having created many tribute albums of remixed tracks as part of

Just when you thought the ugly split that happened between Cradle of Filth and former keyboardist and vocalist Zoe Marie Federoff and ex-guitarist Marek “Ashok” Smerda was old news, a new heaping serving of litigation has reignited the conversation. And this time, some old faces have joined the legal fray. According to a Reddit post

Stoner rock bandCrobotare back. One year after the release of their most recent album Obsidian, they’ve dropped a new single. They apparently want you to know the words, so they’ve dropped a lyric video to go with the new song, titled “Gun To My Head.” The song comes as their U.S. tour is almost done

Our friends in the Great White North are getting their own tour for once and it’s a hell of a gig, as Megadeth plan to hit the road with Anthrax and Exodus for a couple weeks early next year. Set to take place from February 15 in Victoria, B.C. and coming to a close on

They say seven’s a lucky number, yet for the dudes in Sylosis, there’s no luck involved in what’s coming next. Their seventh studio album The New Flesh, set for release on February 20, is nothing but the result of sheer will and talent. Boasting 11 new tracks, the album is being presented as a mission

Shit happens on the road. People get sick, bones get broken, and unfortunately, tour dates suffer as a result. That is, unless you’re Entheos multi-instrumentalist and live drummer Navene Koperweis — then a broken ankle suffered in a freak accident barely causes you to slow down. Entheos is currently out on their headlining tour with

Stoner metal shows are always a good time. It’s all vibes, man. Heavy riffs, killer grooves, and just people out to have a good time. I’d imagine that’s the type of show you can expect when Howling Giant and Insomniac head out on tour next spring. This run is a rescheduling of last June and

Each year, the Milwaukee MetalFest manages to get some kick ass sets lined up. Whether it’s featuring a newly reunited band for the first time or getting acts to play the entirety of a fan favorite album live, there’s usually something exciting for attendees to experience. This year, we’ve already got Acid Bath in the

Last night, Tool took quite a few fans by surprise but digging deep into their discographical vault and playing some singles that they haven’t played in over two decades. Specifically, they played “Crawl Away” for the first time since 1998, and “H.” and “Disposition” for the first time since 2002. Talk about hopping in a

Well this is somewhat unexpected! We all know how Slipknot‘s Sid Wilson has a lot going on. The keyboardist, DJ and Vomit Face Records owner has now made a special appearance in the music video for “We Gone,” the new single by this recording artist Lil Bushwick. Wilson and Bushwick play Rick and Morty, the

As one of the most decorated musicians ever, having an exhibition on his life was clearly a no brainer. Ozzy‘s “Working Class Hero” exhibition at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Birmingham, England has understandably been a huge success, and as of today, a new relic has been added to it. Visitors can now

We knew they wouldn’t be gone forever and oh, how lovely it is to have them back to us. When The Sword said back in 2022 that they were disbanding after almost 20 years, I feel like we all collectively said “fuck that noise.” Then they came back in 2024, and everything felt right again.

I’ll be honest – there’s not a whole lot going on this week in terms of new releases. That’s okay though, they can’t all be blockbuster weeks of new metal. Still, there’s some great stuff to check out. Bloodbound Field of Swords (Napalm Records) Swedish power metal band Bloodbound are back with their latest release.

Ever wonder how GWAR gets all those fluids ready to shoot onto their throngs of unwavering fans each night? Curious about what a typical day looks like for those that work behind the scenes for our lords and masters? Then this 11 minute documentary offered up for free on the YouTubes should be right up

Oh, hell yes. After the banger that was “Sepsis” came out of the Lamb Of God camp last month, I gotta say I’ve been quietly waiting to hear more. That last track was surprisingly heavy and managed to avoid the Lamb Of God formula, so here’s hoping their newly announced single coming this Friday, November

The metal world was recently rocked by the loss of At The Gates vocalist Tomas “Tompa” Lindberg. His untimely death at 52 years old on September 16 was the result of a quiet battle with adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Now, two months later, Dark Tranquillity, The Crown, and The Halo Effect are getting together and
