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?

As your Punjabi, riff-worshiping correspondent, I'vxe created Geodissonance to report the controversy: as metal [...]

Just the name Grime is about all you need to take away to get an idea of whether you'll like their material or not. Add in that their latest album is entitled Deteriorate with a rotting, skinless corpse on the front cover and you have a band perfectly personified within the artwork. So if you're [...]
