Norwegian black metal icons Mayhem’s new album Liturgy Of Death is coming out in about a month’s time and they’re back with yet another taste of what’s to come. Rather than focus on a main track off the list, they’ve opted this time to go for a special track included in the final package. “Life

In a couple months, deathcore/hip-hop outfitFilth will be heading out on the road for what they’re calling the ‘Beasts Of The East’ tour. And with the tour split into two legs among four supporting acts, it’s sure to be a killer run of shows. Set to kick off on March 6 in Dunbar, West Virginia

When it comes to the Metal God himself, there’s plenty that we all should find amazing about Rob Halford. The dude’s been doing the rock and metal thing for literal decades, he’s an LGBTQ icon, and at the spry age of 74, he’s still hitting high notes and performing all over the world. But one

A bit of a shakeup went down with Marilyn Manson’s touring band, as guitarist Tyler Bates announced that he’ll no longer be playing for the shock rocker.

If standing on business were a story of the day, it’d be this one. Vinnie Vincent, who used to be the guitarist in Kiss, has released a new single to controversy. The drama isn’t with the single itself per se, but with how much Vinnie V is charging for it. The song is question is

Okay. If this were to be any other musician I’d probably be like what the actual fuck, but in this case, maybe it’s kind of alright? After all, A.I. is a tool and tools are meant to be utilized, are they not? Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler sure does think so, since he’s apparently been

(Editor’s note: Looking back on 2025, there were so many good albums released that we decided to reach out to some of today’s artists and get them to weigh in on their favorites. What follows is doom metal duo Frayle and their Top Albums of 2025.) 2025 was an incredible year for us. We released

Misery Signals fans in the states were obviously fuckin bummed in 2024 when they performed for the final time in the US at Furnace Fest, but at least we got to see both of the band’s vocalists Jesse Zaraska and Karl Schubach reunite on the farewell tour leading up to it. We were also comforted

More than a year after his exit from embattled metalcore outfit As I Lay Dying, drummer Nick Pierce addressed what went down and his reason for bailing in an interview with Metal Drummers United (as transcribed by ThePRP).

One of the biggest “wha?!?!” moments when Megadeth unveiled their final album earlier this year was the reveal that they’d be covering “Ride The Lightning,” a song from Metallica — you know, that one band Dave Mustaine was a part of in the early 80s.

Another batch of bands have been named to next year’s Fire In The Mountains festival and it’s once again added a ton of excitement to the coming event.
