So it comes as no surprise that bands are getting into the [...]

It's Labor Day weekend. We couldn't leave to go party without having some new jams to keep us company. Here's some new stuff we'll be listening to this weekend: Check out this awesome clip Devin Townsend posted of the band that played on his amazing record, Ghost performing the track "Radial Highway" which is set [...]

All eyes were on the east coast this past weekend as Hurricane Irene tore up city after city leaving many without power, and in many cases causing massive destruction to homes. One such unfortunate soul was none other than Sebastian Bach (former Skid Row vocalist) who lost his home of 21 years to flooding.

I sort of can't believe this is real. Slayer have begun selling condoms on their webstore. The site describes the item as such "For when you’re going South of Heaven! Each Slayer Custom Condom "matchbook" holds 1 Durex latex condom. Available as a 3-pack or 6-pack." It'll set you back $12.99, and unlike the recent [...]

…and why wouldn't they? They've been making KISS coffins for years, and with the newly introduced condoms, this was obviously the next product to slap the KISS branding on. Oh, and the price? Only $650! That's practically free, considering the caskets cost upwards of $3500.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Every now and then a tour comes along where it's hard to find a weak point where you can go outside and smoke a J. This is one of those tours. Just announced: Children of Bodom will headline a summer tour taking out some extremely awesome bands with him including The Devin [...]

All That Remains have announced more touring plans the wrap around their announced tour Black Label Society. Here are the dates:

Due to some unforseen circumstances, we had to push the Awards episode back one week, but still delivered a hilarious episode. Rob discussed some SXSW highlights including being invited to a High Times tasting party, almost getting stranded at a BBQ joint and seeing Chromeo live. Rob then bonds with a caller over the ganj.

We already know Gene Simmons is a douche, but now he wants his face on a whole other line of sanitary products: KISS KONDOMS. Yes that's right! The man born Chaim Witz, never one to turn down a product with his name on it, can lay clam to have the first condom with a print [...]
