Where they from? Tangerang, Indonesia. Ihis past Friday I had the “pleasure” of watching my Jets get their asses utterly obliterated by the Miami Dolphins in the NFL’s first ever Black Friday football game. When will it end? I feel like the NFL is just creating all of these national broadcasts as a way to

Decibel has stumped hard for Romania-cum-Los Angeles ice warriors Persekutor since their 10-out-of-10 debut, Angels of Meth, arrived at Decibel World HQ in a semi-padded milk carton addressed to “editing chief Albert” way back in 2006. Nearly two decades (and countless night and day jobs) later, their scuzzy, infectious black ‘n’ roll debases the Decibel

Hailing from Austin, Texas, prog-metal outfit Transit Method are slated to drop their third album, Othervoid, early next year. Citing influences from Mastodon and Iron Maiden to Mutoid Man and Thin Lizzy, plus Panopticon live violinist Charlie Anderson on bass, it’s an early 2024 attention grabber.

Some labels are great because you know what to expect. But others are worth following for the opposite reason, like with Caligari Records, you’re never exactly sure what you’re in for.

The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) has officially subpoenaed Live Nation Entertainment and subsidiary Ticketmaster for documents on their practices. Some of the practices being called into

Ghost never pass up a good collab, as their recent line of butt plugs and dildos proves. Now, they’ve also collaborated with Lugz on some shoes. This time making something a little more practical than sex toys and action figures (depending on how you look at things), the Swedish larger-than-life band have create a functional,

The Goblin’s back in town—or at least they will be soon. Orange Goblin just announced they are in the studio working on a new record. Earlier this month, the band announced they were in the studio in the U.K. working on their untitled, 10th studio album, the follow-up to their 2018 record The Wolf Bites
