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). You may recall the epic cratering of As I Lay Dying that went down last year when

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. He’s got a writing credit on that track, so it’s

Spark up a fat one and get comfortable, because the mighty Kal-El are back. After releasing the highly touted Astral Voyager Vol. 1 earlier this year, they’re not quite done releasing new tunes. Set for release on March 20 via Majestic Mountain Records and Blue Funeral Recordings, the Norwegian doom stoner outfit will put out

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. What already seemed like a killer festival has now become a must-attend — at least in my approximation. Among the bands announced earlier today, organizers revealed that

Here’s something for your Sunday. If you haven’t already seen it, two considerable legends had a special reunion late last month in Japan, and now we’ve got the footage in full to enjoy. Guitarist Jeff “Mantas” Dunn and drummer Antony “Abbadon” Bray, formerly of Venom, performed together at the legendary Shinjuku Antiknock in Tokyo, Japan.

This is the best outcome given the situation, I suppose. Remember back in September 2024 when Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell and guitarist Dave Navarro got into a lil onstage brawl of sorts during their Boston tour stop after Farrell started some shit? That led to them cancelling the rest of their reunion tour, with

I love me some petty mess, and I guess that’s what you can consider this on a slow news day. Either way, it’s funny. Terror has a good sense of humor, because they did some shit that my ass would do if it ever happened to me. The LA hardcore band recently discovered that their

(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 Archspire guitarist Tobi Morelli’s ‘Top Albums of 2025.) Man, 2025 was a wild, exciting, panic-fuelled year for us in

Earlier this week, hardcore act Coalesce issued a public statement explaining their stance and voicing their support for guitarist Jes Steineger after claims that he’d attempted to groom a student of his while teaching at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri began circulating online. “We’re aware of a Reddit post and related comments making accusations

Ah, the holidays. What better time to get together with friends you haven’t seen in a while, play a little game, and ingest insanely hot chicken wings that make you question your existence? At least, that’s the scenario Insane Clown Posse’s Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J and GWAR’s Blöthar the Berserker and Balsac the

Cancer is a motherfucker. That’s probably the understatement of the century, but seeing your loved ones go through the hardship and physical strain that comes from a cancer diagnosis has to be one of the hardest things to experience. During a recent interview with The Brooklyn Blast Furnace podcast (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), Sick Of

Who needs off dates? It turns out not Ov Sulfur or Atlas, as they added a handful of special tour dates around their previously announced run as supporting acts for Orbit Culture. While their tour with Orbit Culture will run from February 18 to April 10, these additional dates take place at different times throughout

It’s time for the metal community to once again come together and help some of our own. Progressive metal outfit Vola recently look to social media to announce that a majority of their gear was destroyed in a Copenhagen storage facility fire last week. Though there were thankfully zero injuries or deaths as a result

Looking forward to 2026, there are few albums that personally spark as much excitement as Down’s next one. It’ll be 19 years since the release of their last full-length album Down III: Over The Under and aside from the two additional EPs that followed, the band’s been largely resting on its laurels. New music is

We love a supergroup, especially when the musicians participating are actually… super? Like Axe Dragger, which is a new mega band comprised of current Dark Funeral and Fu Manchu members, as well as former members of Pantera and Pentagram. Yowza. Axe Dragger is set to release their self-titled debut record on March 6, 2026 via

Support the arts! It’s literally all we have left at this point, especially on a local, community level. Black Stone Cherry knows this, and have started a little something called the “All I’m Dreamin’ Of” Foundation to show some support for the local arts. The Kentucky band made the announcement in a post on their
