Well, you knew this was coming. With As I Lay Dying frontman, Tim Lambesis being held in a San Diego jail facing charges of soliciting murder, there was no way he would making it out to Killswitch's tour kicking off at the end of this month. The rest of the band announced today in a [...]

It's been a little over two months since Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been acquitted of allegations of manslaughter in Prague, after a fan of the band, Daniel Nosek died from injuries sustained while stage-diving at a Lamb of God show. You can read our previous coverage of the trial here. Other than [...]

You may have heard recently through the grapevine that a band going by the name “Lesbian” exists. Furthermore, it has no female members, which should add all kinds of confusion to your plate and make you look twice before clicking “play” on one of the internet's favorite pastimes. After all, it is difficult to look [...]

Battlecross just got all finished up with their new record at Audiohammer Studios after working with Mark Lewis (Black Dahlia Murder, Trivium, Whitechapel) and Eyal Levi (Daath). See what they have to say about the experience!

There aren't many bands that maintain a consistency while constantly progressing from album to album. It seems like everyone wants to renew and reinvent their sound so as not to bore their audiences. Dillinger Escape Plan is a band that has never, ever had this problem. Since their spastic beginnings releasing two smashing EPs until [...]

Layne's mom Nancy McCallum is suing the band over royalties, which really is just a damn shame if she's right. Where's the love anymore?

Ugh. It's full-bore allergy season here, and apparently everything is being marked for death by my body. So to celebrate (?) we've lined up 8 tracks of music loud enough to make even the most stuffed ears hear clearly. And lest you think it's just the allergy medicine talking near the end of the episode, [...]

The metal world has been getting really heavy lately (pun intended, but I'm not proud of it). There has been death, a murder plot, and drugs (the scary AMC kind). It's almost like metal is the new hip hop (burn?). So, It was such a relief to have so many great albums dropping today (almost too many). [...]

Having been blasting and burning around for a few years, Impious Baptism have finally unleashed their first proper full length. Their offering is a seething piece of moody, black metal with spices of old school death metal throughout that will bring heads to a vigorous bang and burn crosses at every turn.

This summer marks the return of Japan's masters of deathened doom metal, Coffins. The band's follow-up to 2008's Buried Death is called The Fleshland and it's Coffins' first release on Relapse Records who are pulling out all the stops for the release. In addition to the standard CD/LP/Digital formats, Relapse is also releasing a special deluxe edition on CD, [...]

Heaven Shall Burn is a name that is pretty renowned across the Atlantic. They definitely have a good name for themselves in German metalcore; actually, they may have the only well-known name in German metalcore. But with their long career, they’ve been criticized before in sticking with their usual sound in their preceding releases without [...]

Machine Head have been looking for a bassist for a little while now, and even had some big names like Christian Olde Wolbers formerly of Fear Factory try out. Now they're getting down to the wire.

Jason Newsted's aptly title metal outfit Newsted will be on Megadeth's Gigantour, which marks the first band that I give a crap about to be on there.

Juggalos are everywhere these days. The news. SNL parodies. Even on FBI watchlists. So maybe I shouldn't be so shocked to see a juggalo pop up in the trailer for the new Grand Theft Auto V game.

When you first hear a band name like Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, you might either get the reference, or groan at yet another obtuse band name more than likely tied to a metalcore band; perhaps both. If you haven't heard of them before, rest assured, the shoe fits. Pardon My French marks the band's second [...]
