Melodic metal mavens The Raven Age (I love a rhyme) is losing one of their founding members—George Harris. The guitarist, who happens to be the son of Iron Maiden bassist Steven Harris, has just announced that his band’s upcoming U.K. run of tour will be his last with the band. He made the announcement this

What a doozy, though not necessarily surprising. People come out of the woodwork all the time when it comes to celebrities, trying to stake claim on whatever they want to pretend they have rights to. I’m not saying that’s what’s happening to Sharon Osbourne right now, but I’m not not saying that. Sharon and her

The Land Down Under’s going to get a taste of American progressive metalcore and deathcore next year, as Born Of Osiris and Signs Of The Swarm both plan to head on a short Australian tour in March. And not only will they get to play to an audience they don’t really get to see too

Hardcore acts Bane and Rotting Out announced a run of nine tour dates along the U.S. west coast. Each show will take place this coming January. Set to kick off on January 16 in San Diego and coming to a close in Englewood, Colorado, the tour will make stops in Los Angeles, San Jose, and

In what might be one of the least expected collaborations in a while, iconic nu metal group Linkin Park will join forces with one of the most iconic Lucha Libre wrestling promotions on the planet to put on a special event tomorrow night. Set to take place at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow night at Arena Mexico

There’s been a growing trend as of late of artists pulling their entire discographies from the popular music streaming platform Spotify. They cite things like shitty pay, poor anti-AI slop protections, and the company’s closeness to AI military hardware as reasons for their removal. All valid reasons, if you ask us… Earlier today, yet another

California hardcore duders Drain released their most recent album …Is Your Friend earlier this month and earlier today, they announced the accompanying tour. Set to kick off on March 19 in Dallas and coming to a close on April 19 in Indio, California, the tour will span 19 dates across the U.S. Along the way,

What happens when you take the perpetually fun vibes music from iconic rock band KISS and run it through the melancholic filter of Katatonia’s style? You get the latest single and possibly most unexpected cover of “A World Without Heroes” from the Swedish band. Originally released back in 1981 on KISS’ Music from ‘The Elder’,

I sure hope you’ve got your brown pants on, because the latest single from U.K. metal motherfuckers Heriot “Commander of Pain” is so heavy you’re gonna wonder who the hell shit in your britches. Released as a stand-alone track, Heriot guitarist and vocalist Debbie Gough said “Commander of Pain” is a callback to a bygone

Hell yeah, brothers. Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.) have always been the cool dudes, and they’re doing something quite cool with this. They’ve teamed up with Volatile Skateboards to create their own line of tight ass decks, clothes and accessories called COC Skateboards, live now at cocskateboards.com. They’ve got everything from skate decks to a snowboard

Well, this is random. Back on November 6, Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon made an appearance on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk where he gave a little bit of an update on what him and his bandmates have been working on. The interview itself wasn’t random, nor the fact that what he said Tesla’s working

It’s been a doozy of a few days for Vulvodynia. The South African deathcore band have been on the road, only to hit a large considerable snag when it comes to their new vocalist Zion Bittenbender. Just a few days ago he was accused of sexual assault and misconduct, obviously forcing the band to try

For the second time in six years, thrash metal outfit Death Angel have graced us with a new circle-pit-inducing track in the form of “Cult Of The Used.” And before you ask — no, it’s not about Mark Osegueda’s love of the early 2000s band The Used. Released earlier this week, the track is a

Kiss fans, get ready to cream your goddamn pants. Their fourth record (and first live record) Alive! is officially a senior citizen, celebrating its 50th this year. It’s considered to be one of the best live albums of all time, but if you’re a Kiss fan I imagine you already know that. To celebrate, the

It was only a few hours ago today, Thursday, November 6, that we reported how Vulvodynia‘s new vocalist Zion Bittenbender has been accused of sexual assault and misconduct by at least one victim who has come forward, though descriptions of inappropriate actions against others were also included. Vulvodynia and Bittenbender have since responded with their

Well, my flabber is truly gasted. Hardcore kids of the past might remember all the dumbass drama that’s been going on for years between Danny “Lord Ezec” Diablo of Skarhead and Dwid Hellion of Integrity. I don’t much want to get into the weeds of the bullshit, as it involves a shitty person who happened

When Nothing releases their fifth album a short history of decay this coming February, it will be almost six years since they last put out a full album. Of course, I’m talking about 2020’s The Great Dismal and from what I can tell from hearing the band’s new single “cannibal world,” it’s obvious that things

With just a couple days left before they were supposed to head out on tour with Vitriol and Weeping, Kansas-based death metal outfit Unmerciful were forced to announce that they were dropping off the bill “due to circumstances beyond our control.” For reasons unknown at this time, Unmerciful were without their drummer Trynt Kelly is

Next year’s already got some pretty big announcements going for it. Case and point is the tour nu metal band Ill Niño have planned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album Revolution Revolución. In a post on their Instagram page, the New Jersey-based band announced that they’ve only got the first seven dates

Yesterday came with a pretty big shock when the surviving members of Rush, bassist and frotnman Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex LIfeson announced that the legendary prog band would be playing a 50th anniversary tour with German drummer Anika Nilles filling in for the immortal, yet late Neil Peart. Now, with yesterday’s announcement behind us
