Vic Rattlehead Keeps Stacking Up the Bodies in Megadeth’s “Killing Time” Video

It’s getting hard to find something to talk about with these things. As the fifth music video in the The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! Video Series, the story continues as three Vic Rattleheads now are out on the hunt for some big fat dude holding a woman hostage who I think is the human version of Vic’s wife? Like porn, the plot in this video series doesn’t really matter. If you’re up for…

Heavy Rotation: The Callous Daoboys Share Their Favorite Songs

Welcome back to Heavy Rotation! It’s been a minute since we’ve checked in with another artist to see what’s on their playlist but we’ve got a good one for you: The Callous Daoboys, fresh off their announcement that they’ll be joining post-hardcore staples D.R.U.G.S. on tour next year. No surprise: the choices on here are as varied as the unhinged mathcore that defines the band’s sound. Mitski –…

Code Orange Dropped an Elbow on the Internet By Finally Streaming WWE Star Bray Wyatt’s Entrance Music

The intersection between metal and wrestling is absolutely massive. It just kinda makes sense that people who like extreme music and enjoy mosh pits would like watching jacked up dudes body slam each other through flaming tables covered in barbed wire. So it would make just as much sense for a band that sounds like someone going through a flaming barbed wire table would write music for a pro…

The Protomen Drop Their First New Single in Seven Years

Waiting around for new music from your favorite artist can be an excruciating exercise in patience. You know you want the music to be the best, but damn it you want new tunes now. Now imagine a band you like hasn’t but out new music in over a decade, yet continues to tour on the back of their only two albums, a Queen cover album, and a cover album of nothing but 80s hits. It’s gotta start get…

Sh*t That Comes Out Today – December 16, 2022

We’re getting REAL close to the birth of that one religious icon. The release calendar is as barren as my crops. Let’s get into it; as always, find available titles through Gimme Metal. Bloodclot Souls (Upstate) It’s the return of Bloodclot, the crossover project of ex-Cro-Mags frontman John Joseph. There’s not a whole lot of wheel reinventing here; just some quick, nasty crossover…

Children of Bodom’s Final Concert Will Be Released as a Live Album

Three years ago at the Black Box in Helsinki Ice Hall, fans in attendance at the Children of Bodom were unknowingly witnessing a poignant moment in the band’s history, as it was the last time they’d ever play with Alexi Laiho before his untimely death later that month. In a social media post marking the three year anniversary of that gig, Children of Bodom drummer Jaska Raatikainen, bassist…

If you’re chillin’ out in the land of black metal and looking for something to do for four days during next April’s Easter weekend, then boy are you in luck, given your extremely specific set of circumstances.

Deftones’ Chino Moreno Says the Band is “Chipping Away” at New Tunes

Chino Moreno’s been a busy man as of late. With his side project ††† (CROSSES) putting out new music, he’s been out there promoting the new material and fielding questions in interviews with all kinds of media outlets. And while he likely wants to stay focused on the task at hand and talk about PERMANENT.RADIANT, it’s impossible to talk to the guy and not ask for a little hint of what’s going on…

George Lynch Dishes on Lynch Mob, the End Machine’s New Vocalist, Guitar Building, and More

There have been a lot of great guitar players over the years, but few foster the intense levels of bombastic creativity as heavy-hitting six-stringer George Lynch. With seemingly dozens of plates perpetually spinning, Lynch’s guitar-centric carousel never seems to stop. Be it with Lynch Mob, The End Machine, Sweet & Lynch, or his latest collaboration with longtime friend and cohort Jeff Pilson…

We’re just a couple measly weeks out from 2023, but we’ve already got a handful of albums we’re chomping at the bit to get our hands on. One of the most anticipated releases of next year, whenever it happens, is Deicide‘s 13th studio effort.

John Corabi Still Thinks Something’s Not Right About Mick Mars’ Retirement

It’s been nearly two months since Mötley Crüe announced that Mick Mars would be hanging his guitar up in retirement and filling the void left behind with ex-Rob Zombie guitarist John 5. Seemingly after that announcement was made, it felt like the metal community accepted the changes and moved on. Yet for ex-Mötley Crüe frontman and one-time Vince Neil replacement John Corabi, something still…

Sigh Released a Video for Their Latest Single “Shoujahitsumetsu”

With their unique fusion of black metal and psychedelic rock, Sigh have long been an interesting act to follow. Having released Shiki earlier this year and dealing with the prospect of aging in the realm of black metal, the band have spent the last 32 years carving out their own niche and showing the world a brand new side of a staunchly European metal subgenre. It’s unlike most of the stuff out…
