Google Play has been Google's music store for about two years now, to compete with the likes of Amazon.com and iTunes, now Google is going after a different competitor with the launch of "Google Play Music All Access" and that competitor is Spotify.

When you think of seven string guitar gods, what's the first name that pops into your mind? Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah? Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders? Guess what? Guitar World says you're wrong, it's Munky from Korn!

Geo·dissonance: the metal movement is proliferating to all corners of the globe. In its relentless display of vitriolic truths and the ugliest questions of existence, we can hear the resounding riffs of heavy metal in the most conservative pockets of society. As your Punjabi, riff-worshiping correspondent, I'vxe created Geodissonance to report the controversy: as metal [...]

Black Sabbath will be premiering their new song, "The End Is The Beginning" on next week's season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation". It airs Wednesday, May 15 at 10:00 p.m. ET on CBS. To commemorate the occasion, CBS has released a video teaser of the episode with behind the scenes footage and a new [...]

Earlier today, As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis plead not guilty to one count of solicitation of murder after attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife. The hitman was actually an undercover cop. Local news affiliates in San Diego were in the courtroom and posted shocking video of the case the prosecution [...]

In 2013, melodic death metal is as musically relevant as barbershop. The genre peaked when At The Gates dropped Slaughter of the Soul, but that was almost twenty years ago. Since then, bands like In Flames and Dark Tranquility have contributed some classic albums to the melodeath canon, but there haven't been any really good [...]

When I first started playing bass in high school, my friend Thomas and I made it a point, as all metal youngsters do, to learn songs by our favorite bands. The two of us spent years slaughtering songs by Metallica, Black Sabbath, and, of course, Slayer. As a metal fan, it is hard to not address the [...]

Ramming Speed might have just released what might the catchiest thrash song of 2013 by a long shot off their upcoming record, Doomed to Destroy, Destined to Destroy.

Like it or not, the two-thousand-teens are the decade of Prog. Those inclinations needn't be manifested by way of King Crimson clones – the split second time signature changes of tech death and the freeform deconstructionism of post-metal all owe a tip of the hat to the genre – but make no mistake: the 70's loom large [...]

As of April 27, melodic death metal titans Mercenary are all done with their newest record Through Our Darkest Days and are shooting for a release date of July 27!

Stevic of Twelve Foot Ninja takes you behind the scenes and explains the inspiration behind each of their music videos.

Just let that sink in for a second- three big metal guys are on a song dedicated to Nelson Mandela (and Lucky Dube), which will be mixed and mastered by metal and pop producers. Is it safe to say that metal is a big deal yet?

Finishing up this episode while recovering from the amazing convention known as Penguicon which happened this weekend.

That's pretty unconventional, but what's even more unconventional (outside of being, well, outside of the convention) is [...]

Greetings once again all you metal nerds. This was a rough week. Rough in a sense that there was almost too much good stuff to talk about from so many genres, subgenres, subsubgenres, etc. I could have gone on and on with this week's WEEKLY INJECTION, but alas, the fancy beer I can't pronounce is [...]

The conversation kicks off on a brown note, with an expanded conversation about bidets and bathroom usage in general. The conversation moves onto prostate talk and cameras in urethras. Megadeth's new single, "Super Collider" is also discussed, and we play a rousing edition of Thrash It or Trash It featuring songs from Shattered Skies, CounterMeasure, [...]
