Each week on ‘Throwback Thursday’ we dust off a crucial but underrated album, without which heavy metal’s evolution would have turned out quite differently. This week there’s even more dust involved than usual: as in Dust, the band, whose fingerprints are spread all over heavy metal’s formative past, difficult as it may be at first [...]

Kind of a ho-hum week… a few notable releases but mostly crate digging. Next week is the fucking jam, though, so don't get too deep in hock jocking on Volbeat. Let's get to it, then.

March is almost over, which means Amazon.com's ridiculous March Is Metal Month sale is also almost over. You only have until the end of the weekend to get your digitalpaws on some great metal albums all for under $5.99.

Yeah, I know; I'm at the point of barely even giving a crap either. The fact of the matter is that as much as I say I don't care, I'm all friggin' over new information… because it's Tool.

Last week, we told you that Cannibal Corpse is getting ready to reissue every one of their releases from the past 25 years in a new limited edition box set called Dead Human Collection: 25 Years of Death Metal due out on March 13th. Today, the band has unveiled the look of the box set, [...]

Metal Injection reported back on November 27th that Rage Against The Machine would not be writing a new album, however, reports now indicate that not only will they not be releasing new music but the rumored tour that was in the works will no longer be happening either. 

One of the highlights of seeing Neurosis live for me was the trippy visuals that would always project over the band as they performed their plodding music. I always felt it was a stroke of brilliance, because the band themselves don't move around much and after a while they do get boring to look at, [...]

In today's A/V roundup, we have two live audio files from a recent Gojira live show, a video of Zakk Wylde and Slash jamming, album streams from Aeon, Death, Bad Brains, Cryptopsy, Kylesa and Woe, Is Me. Let's get started:
