What in the world is Corey Taylor up to today? The Slipknot frontman—who is currently promoting his upcoming solo album—joined voice actor Tom Kenny to perform the Spongebob Squarepants theme song at Huntington Comic And Toy Convention, an event that takes place in Huntingdon, West Virginia. The video, which you can watch below, is pretty

Killswitch Engage just made fans very happy when they eluded to the fact that we can probably expect some new music in 2024. In an interview with Kerrang!, guitarist and producer Adam Dutkiewicz spills the tea: “Yeah, we’ve been writing for quite some time now. Jesse Leach has been working out some lyric ideas and demos for the last few days, actually.

Moonspell announced last week that they are releasing their 2003 classic album The Antidote. Originally released on Century Media, the album will now be rereleased via Napalm Records under exclusive licensing from Century Media. While the record received mixed praise at the time, it has a very unique, haunting quality, and timeless sound that have

Mathcore band Pupil Slicer just shared the bass playthrough for the song “Momentary Actuality” via Gear Gods. The song is taken from the band’s second album, Blossom, which was released via Prosthetic Records. Speaking about the song, bassist Luke Fabian comments: “Although ‘Momentary Actuality’ is a relatively short track, it has a lot of different parts, and I feel

Iced Earth‘s Jon Schaffer finally has a sentencing date to determine the price he’ll pay for his involvement in the January 6, 2021 Capitol Building riot. Schaffer, known to metal fans as the guitarist of Iced Earth, was one of the first rioters to enter the Capitol on the day of the riots in support

Welcome to another weekend. We’re glad you could join us after such an arduous work week… or maybe you’ve had a pretty easy week, at which point, lucky you. The good news in either situation, however, is that no matter how your shit existence was over the last few days, you’ve still got a new

Heaven Shall Burn released a video for their cover of Blind Guardian‘s “Valhalla” featuring a cameo from Blind Guardian royalty himself, Hansi Kürsch. The video release was to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Heaven Shall Burn’s record Valhalla. It was directed by Philipp Hirsch and guitarist Alexander Dietz. Guitarist Maik Weichert says: “We always regretted

OTEP are back with a new single, “Ostracized,” from their forthcoming album The God Slayer. Nu metal icon Otep Shamaya and her band will be releasing their new record on September 15. This is the second single released from the forthcoming album, the first being her cover of Billie Eilish’s “You Should See Me in

It’s time to get truly stoked for the forthcoming Metalocyalpse movie, Army of the Doomstar, out August 22. Adult Swim just dropped the trailer for the film, and it shows the movie’s antagonist, Mr. Salacia, played by Mark Hamill, as well as the stars of the show that we all remember from the initial episodes.

As someone who remembers buying L.D. 50 when it came out all those years ago, it’s wild to see Mudvayne back out on the road and making headlines in 2023. But nostalgia’s in these days, it seems, and with it comes all the music many of us grew up listening to. During a recent Revolver

There’s nothing worse than attending a concert and walking away feeling underwhelmed. After spending all your time and money investing in a performance, only to feel like something was missing just isn’t fun. When you talk about Tool and their shows, however, “boring” isn’t necessarily something that comes to mind. But what if you’re some

There’s been a lot of talk about Anthrax‘s follow up to 2016’s For All Kings, with members of the band stating at various points that they’ve been in the studio doing the work. And while drummer Charlie Benante is off kicking ass with Pantera and guitarist Scott Ian has some upcoming Mr. Bungle dates, it

In a story that’s becoming all too common these days, yet another band is forced to cancel their touring plans because the costs are just too damn high. This time, it’s Andorran progressive death metal act Persefone, who’s had to put the kibosh on their upcoming North American tour with Ne Obliviscaris and Beyond Creation.

We’re partial to any band that basically uses feedback as an instrument. Not necessarily in lieu of all the other necessary instruments—guitar, bass, drums, etc.—mind you, but just an another tasty layer in the noise rock sandwich. Yeah, Oakland trio, Facet, have plenty of that sweet, sweet skree on their self-titled debut. Guitars, whine, squeal, slash

For better or worse, the ’80s set the template for metal videos going forward. Sure the videos made little sense, had cheap effects and mostly involved a mixture of fantasy scenery intermingled with performance footage of the band, but back then it was so novel to see a metal video of any description that we

If I were to inform you of a band out there describing themselves as a ‘combination of ‘80s shred with ‘90s riffs all wrapped up in a cheesy B-horror movie’ chances are you’d excitedly inquire as to who this band is, after which I could start taking over/under bets on how quickly said horror-metal nerd

During a recent, exclusive interview with Guitar World, Mötley Crüe bassist and apparent Memorex stock holder Nikki Sixx claimed that the band was completely unaware that ex-guitarist Mick Mars was about to leave the band late last year. “We never saw it coming that Mick wasn’t going to be able to tour and was going

With nu metal getting some kind of resurgence in recent years, bands like Slipknot and Mushroomhead have only grown in popularity. But what about the dudes that used to be in those bands? That’s where Kaosis’ latest single “Breaking The Fallen” comes in, as both Anders Colsefni and Jeffrey Nothing are featured in that track.

Their second full-length, Incendium, is due for an October 27 release on Translation Loss Records and expands on the sound
