Dragonforce are going to be recording their next record starting in May with good ol' Jens Bogren (who has been behind the board for Opeth, The Devil Townsend Project, Amon Amarth, Katatonia, Soilwork and Symphony X). Killer?

I've always found the practice of naming such a strange and fascinating concept. Today more than ever we put such a huge importance on finding the right name for things be it a nick name, stage name, band name, or even a profile user name. I'm sure at some point in your life you've even [...]

Happy Birthday Slash! One of our favorite rock icons turns 47 today, as he also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Guns N' Roses seminal record Appetite for Destruction this weekend.The Guns N' Roses debut was undeniably a kick-ass record that moved cheesy fashion glam into the realms of legit song writing.

Just when we thought it was over… here comes another giant Summer touring package, the grossly inappropriately titled All Star Tour. I will say though they are doing something genius, the tour will feature two stages: one the heavier stage and the other the more "emo" stage. It's a smart marketing move to attract people [...]

This very useful tool will convert standard measurements like liters, kilograms, meters, square meters and joules in to the far more metal measurement of Danzigs. For example, 5 meters equals 3 Danzigs. In [...]

After thousands of audition tapes and almost a year of searching, Dragonforce finally announced that they had found their new bandmate, 23 year-old Marc Hudson: I'm really excited about being [...]

By Atanamar Sunyata Incantation's debut album unleashed a miasmal, doom-drenched vision of death metal upon an unsuspecting world in 1992.  When Decibel Magazine inducted Onward to Golgotha into their Hall of Fame last year, the album received the accolades I always felt it deserved.  This summer, Decibel announced a brief tour celebrating the iconic album; [...]
