Due to visa processing issues,Fulciare unable to perform on the upcoming Decibel Magazine Tour, as well as Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Philly 2026 on May 3. Fulci will return next year as part of the 2027 Decibel Tour. But this year, Texas heavy metal mastersSpirit Adrifthave stepped up to fill the void, joining

It’s been a while since we’ve featured a new song from “doom wop” trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol. Their 2024 album Big Dumb Riffs was a good time, as we featured a number of singles off that studio effort. This morning, the wait for more good times from RBBP are back again with the release

What a day! Two stories referencing baseball and two chances for me to talk about how the New York Mets have failed me up to this point. (Really, it’s bad you guys.) But down in Baltimore, the Orioles are doing relatively okay and earlier today they announced that they would be celebrating GRAMMY-winning hometown hardcore

Goth glam post-hardcore outfit Black Veil Brides have a new album titled VINDICATE coming out on May 8 via Spinefarm and they dropped its fourth single earlier today with “Revenger”. And unlike the other previous offerings, this one’s got something up its proverbial sleeve that most won’t see coming — they have Machine Head frontman

This must be fate or something. My New York Mets finally won a game after 12 grueling, faith-shattering losses and now heavy metal outfit Armored Saint dropped a new single called “Hit A Moonshot”. For those that aren’t familiar, a “moonshot” is baseball parlance that means to hit a baseball high and far for a

We chatted with Denver-based atmospheric band Sungrave about their recent self-released EP, Cold Flesh and No One. The EP was written, produced, and performed by Sungrave and Creaturess as part of their fall 2025 Midwest tour. The cover art was painted by Denver-based artist Josh Porter, specifically inspired by the music and concept. Drums were

This summer, thrash metal stalwarts Vio-lence will be going global with their show, as they head out on the ‘Eruption Of Screams’ international tour later this summer. Set to kick off on July 20 in Gdańsk, Poland, the tour will run pretty much non-stop until it all comes to a close on August 28 in

When a tour featuring Lamb Of God, Kublai Khan TX, Sanguisugabogg, and Fit For An Autopsy announced late last night, I gotta admit — it sounded almost too good to be true. Surely there’s no way that many bands on such a tear lately could share the stage at the same time, I thought. Thankfully,

It’s been a minute since the world got new Korn tunes, but that’s all changed thanks to a nearly three-year-old video game. Earlier this morning, the influential nu metal band released “Reward The Scars”, a new track dropped to promote the Lord Of Hatred expansion pack for Blizzard’s action RPG Diablo IV. With the expansion

Earlier this week, motherfucking Slayer announced that they were celebrating the 40th anniversary of Reign In Blood with a pair of special shows: one on September 4 in Shakopee, Minnesota and another on November 13 in Los Angeles, California. The list of supporting acts are stacked and all, but we should have known they weren’t

Death metal mofos from the Empire State, Undeath, are done recording their fourth full-length studio effort. And though we won’t know much about it for a while longer, the soon-to-be-announced release will be their first on Relapse Records after signing with the label. According to the band, the new album was produced by Colin Marson

Sexcuse me, bohabs, but say it loud with me so everyone can hear it — FUCK CANCER. It’s a brutal scourge and unfortunately, another one of our own has been affected. This time, it’s GWAR founding member and human slave to The Sexecutioner, Chuck Varga. It’s a shitty situation and we don’t know what he’s

A new wrestler is making her WWE debut next week and she’s got a bit of a connection to our world, too. Rayne Leverkusen will be joining the major wrestling promotion’s developmental show next week as the “Maiden of Metal,” Lizzie Rain. For those in the know, “maiden” is particularly telling, as she’s also the

Over their long ass career, Judas Priest have had some banger cover art in their discography. British Steel, Screaming For Vengeance, Painkiller… the list goes on. Well, you can add one more kick ass cover art to the list, as their new greatest hits compilation The Best of Judas Priest has some sick art as

Finnish symphonic metal outfit Amberian Dawn released the second single off their forthcoming album Temptation’s Gates earlier today, titled “The Vision of Dreaming”. And though the album won’t come out until June 26 via Napalm Records, it’s yet another introduction to the band’s new vocalist Nicole Willerton. Speaking of the single, keyboardist/guitarist Tuomas Seppälä explained

Long Island-based crossover actExtinction A.D.are back to kick some teeth in and they’re doing it with reckless abandon thanks to their latest single “Truth or Consequences”. Oh and they’ve got a little help on this one from Incendiary’s Brian Audley. Spanning a little under two and a half minutes, this one’s a sledgehammer to the

“I Skogens Djup” is probably not the song title you’d expect from Vancouver, BC-based melodic/symphonic DM outfit Atavistia. After all, Swedish is clearly not the Canuck foursome’s first language. But this latest single from the band’s upcoming fifth full-length, Old Gods Awaken, was inspired by Scandinavian folk metal and Atavistia—Mattias Sippola (guitar/vocals), Max Sepulveda (drums),

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted has been living his best life. Ever since leaving the biggest band on the planet, the dude’s been cashing in fat royalties checks and living off the Black Album for decades. He’s also since done other musical stuff to varying degrees of success and exposure, playing with Ozzy, Voivod, and

Mexican death thrash OGs Mortuary—formed way back in 1998, where their original run lasted until 1997 before reuniting full-time in 2008—are staking their claim to modern supremacy with Great Black Earth, their first release since 2012. Mortuary haven’t lost a step in their time out of the studio, perfectly resurrecting the primitive early days sound

Today is the official holiday for pot smokers everywhere, so that makes it the perfect day for a pair of stoner rock bands to tease something huge. After all, they know their fan bases are in an altered state that should make them an almost captive audience, doomscrolling on their phones and whatnot. Earlier today,
