New progressive metal outfit Blindead 23 (fka Blindead) have taken a major step in their career as a band, as they announced this week that they’ll be releasing their debut album Deuterium on just two months’ time. Comprised of ex-Behemoth guitarist Mateusz “Havoc” Smierzchalski, ex-Katatonia guitarist Roger Öjersson, and Vltimas, ex-Vader, ex-Decapitated drummer Pawel “Pavulon”

Covers can be fun. Covers can be interesting. Yet sometimes, covers can be unique, thought-provoking pieces that take the original subject material and make it their own. Such is the case for Israeli progressive/alt-metal outfit SUBMASQ, whose iteration of Rammstein’s “Mutter”, which takes the German industrial metal titans’ music and turns it into something else

Right now, there’s a tour going on that you might not want to miss. Of course, we’re talkin’ about Opeth and Katatonia cutting through the U.S. (and one stop in Canada). Both bands are titans in their own right and now fans of both can get their fill in one night. Earlier this month, we

Officials in Istanbul preemptively pulled the plug on performances by deathcore act Slaughter To Prevail and blackened death metal outfit Behemoth over what’s being described as potential issues stemming from “societal values.” In a statement posted on social media, Istanbul Governor Davut Gül explained the cancellations earlier today. In his statement, he said this decision

They may have just put out one of the most killer albums in recent memory with Krushers Of The World, but one thing you can’t say about Kreator‘s latest is that it’s a straight-up thrash metal record. It’s heavy as fuck, has death metal aspects sprinkled in throughout, and really takes pages from other metal

Canada’s own Voivod have a lot going on lately, as they’re not only working on recording a brand new album, but they’ve got a live album in the works, a new video game being developed, and they just dropped a new music video for a classic track. So yeah, I’d say they’re busy as fuck.

Wes Borland for president, for real. The Limp Bizkit guitarist has been quite open about how dumb and shitty and unneeded Trump supporters are, having received backlash for comments he made last week on his Instagram story. He’s since doubled down on that, which will hopefully make more Cheeto lovers exit his ether. His previous

Major sad news from the 3 Doors Down camp. The band just shared that founding member and vocalist Brad Arnold has sadly passed away at 47 due to cancer. Arnold shared about his diagnosis on Instagram back in May 2025, which led to the band canceling their summer 2025 tour. The band’s post reads: “With

Fans that went out to see Nine Inch Nails down in New Orleans got to be among the first to witness a major change in the band, as they got to see multi-genre bassist Stu Brooks handling the low end for the band. The ‘Peel It Back’ tour kicked off yesterday, serving as the perfect

Okay, I know this post has to do with sports so I’m going to lose some of you, but give me a second. One of the coolest things about the NHL is the fact that the goalies get to have custom artwork on their helmets. It’s a great opportunity to let dudes express themselves while

The British are coming! The British are coming — to play some metalcore here in the States and Canada. Both Malevolence and Guilt Trip will be touring North America this spring for their aptly named ‘United Kingdom Metal and Hardcore Across North America 2026’ tour. Set to kick off on March 31 in Detroit and

For roughly a decade and a half, Slipknot fans have wondered one thing: what the fuck is Look Outside Your Window and when is it coming out? Well, we finally have a release date and it’s coming up pretty soon — just don’t expect it to have Slipknot’s name emblazoned on it. Set to be

Swiss folky/melodic death metal outfitEluveitie are going to be hitting the road in their proverbial back yard, as they announced an European tour set to take place this winter. Kicking off on November 11 in Brussels, Belgium and coming to a close on December 13 in Zurich, Switzerland, the tour will see Eluveitie play venues

Though there was a lot of good will felt during the Ozzy Osbourne segment during this year’s ‘In Memoriam’ segment during the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards, one snub really rubbed metalheads the wrong way. You see, one man that was left off the segment was ex-Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds — and that really pissed off

Some very unfortunate news coming from the Omnium Gatherum camp, as the band took to social media to announce that their vocalist Jukka Pelkonen was diagnosed with lymphoma. That diagnosis is going to keep him off the upcoming European tour, but the band assured fans that the show will go on. In an Instagram post,

This spring, the noisy, psychedelic black metal collective Oranssi Pazuzu will be taking their unique sound throughout North America and they’re bringing the American gothic outfit Wayfarer along for the ride. Set to kick off on May 8 at the Northwest Terror Fest in Seattle, the tour will run until May 30 when they play

Superheroes aren’t the only ones that can look good displayed on a shelf where you can’t touch them. Musicians can be toys, too! That’s where KnuckleBonz comes in. They make collectibles, and have a special collection specifically for artists called Rock Iconz. It’s under this series that they’re releasing a limited-edition, hand-cast and painted figurine

If you’re anything like me, a good, funny ass title goes a long way when it comes to making me want to engage with something. Even if I feel like it’s going to be absolutely dreadful, slap a kooky name that bitch and I’m sold. Not saying Jesus Cop, a new, almost-finished horror/comedy starring Al

Thrash metal titans Testament may have dropped one of the meanest new albums in a while with Para Bellum last year and they may have a banger of a tour lined up for the U.S. this spring, but they announced an European/U.K. tour earlier today that looks to kick all kinds of ass, too. Set

Our friends down south are going to get an additional dose of Opeth this fall/winter (though it will be spring/summer for them) because the Swedish progressive metal powerhouse just announced a handful of addition tour dates in that region. Comprised of just five dates, the second leg of Opeth’s ‘The Last Will and Testament’ Latin
