Alice In Chains have big things planned for 2013. Last week, they released the music video for their new single "Hollow", which is the beginning of the promo cycle for their new album, which should be announced soon and released in the coming months. Now, dates are starting to surface for a full-scaled U.S. tour. [...]

Is it that time of year already? The time when we complain about how incredibly out of touch the Grammy voting committee is with their nominations? I guess it is!

Is Simone Simmons the prettiest woman in metal? She might just be. If you don't believe me, check out this new photo gallery we posted featuring photos of her and her band, Epica, as well as their tour mates Alestorm and Insomnium. Check out the sweet photos here.

Lzzy Hale, and all of the rest of Halestorm couldn't be nicer when we met them on the black carpet of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. They were completely humble and down to earth people, which is always nice to see. But Lzzy knows how to pose for a photo, and clearly the editors of [...]

The Refused were supposed to play an outdoor show yesterday in Brooklyn, but then we got a halestorm and the whole city freaked. The concert organizers ended up cancelling the show, mid-storm (even though by showtime, all the rain had cleared) and people were bummed. The band sort of made it up, announcing a free [...]

If you haven't checked out our photo gallery recently, maybe you should give it a spin. We just posted over 200 photos from the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival 2012 (which featured bands like Killswitch Engage, Black Dahlia Murder, The Acacia Strain, Every Time I Die, Emmure, Skeletonwitch, Protest The Hero, Periphery and more), [...]

You may have noticed we've been uploaded a healthy dosage of interviews from last week's Revolver Golden Gods Awards. The stressfest known as the black carpet was conquered once again and we were able to score some fun interviews with Dee Snider, Evanescence, Machine Head, Dave Lombardo's PHILM, Asking Alexandria, Zakk Wylde, Halestorm, Fear Factory, As I Lay Dying, Chris Jericho, Brendon Small of Metalocalypse, Jose Mangin, Vinnie [...]

Well well well, looks like we are sponsoring this year's iteration of the Pagan Fest, along with Guitar World Magazine and Full Metal Jackie, and we couldn't be more pumped. Turisas will headline the event, with support from Alestorm, Arkona and Huntress. Ex-Deo were also originally on the bill, but had to drop off so [...]

Turisas announced recently that they will be headlining the 2012 version of PaganFest America. Heading on the road with them will be Alestorm, Ex Deo, Arkona and Huntress. The traveling party kicks off on March 29th in Baltimore, MD and wraps up a few weeks later in Los Angeles. Here is the full routing:

Wintersun mastermind Jari Mäenpää has uploaded a short clip on his personal YouTube page (after the jump) that shows the band rehearsing for their upcoming European tour dates, which start today. As most Wintersun loyalists already know, the band is now in the fifth year of recording their sophomore record Time, but they have given [...]

Get your drinking chalices ready because Kamelot have announced they are returning to North America. The band will return in late August/early September for a full US run (with stops in Quebec and Toronto as well). Coming along for the ride will be pirate metal act Alestorm, Blackguard and The Agonist. Noa and Frank are [...]

We just wanted to provide you with this handy reminder that we've been posting a ton of interviews over the last few weeks conducted over the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Rob and guest correspondant Johnny Orlando Jr. got some great content as everybody was in a cheery mood. We hung out with some [...]

Man is this summer getting crowded with touring festivals. Only two days after Ozzfest announced it's lineup, we see a brand new tour from the founders of Mayhem Fest, focused more on rock than metal. They are calling it Rockstar Energy Uproar and here is the lineup, spread across two stages: Main Stage Disturbed Avenged [...]

CLICK HERE FOR OUR VIDEO RECAP So we just got back to our hotel room after a ridiculous night of partying at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. I don't think I can stay awake long enough to recount all the details but I will write something more thorough later in the day this recap of [...]

UPDATE: Read about the WINNERS at the 2010 Golden Gods Last year, Revolver announced that the States would get their first metal-exclusive award show and it was going to be broadcast on MTV2. Of course, we had to go down and party. I can't tell you I remember much from the night, but I do [...]
