If you're heading to the New England Metal & Hardcore festival this year, you can now start to map out who you want to see and when. First off, it should be noted that the event just added a wealth of new bands with 1349, Battlecross, Black Crown Initiate, Carnifex, Erra, Fallujah, Goatwhore, I Declare War, Inquisition, Rivers of Nihil, Sworn In, Broken Hope and The Acacia Strain joining the b

While metalheads and Miley Cyrus may seemingly have little in common, those lines just got a little blurred with a new cover version of the pop singer's hit song 'Wrecking Ball.'

As a parent, this guy is totally doing it right!!

Rock in Rio in Brazil is underway, and the mighty Metallica killed it last night, September 19th, with a blistering show to heading the night.  They blasted through eighteen songs, with the huge stage, gigantic video screens, pyro, and everything you expect from a Metallica show! It's definitely Metallica weekend, with the Mucho Metallica fun tonight and tomorrow, as well as our preview of their n

I found this article called "9 Things Women in Music are Sick of Experiencing", and it has some valid points to it.  I see a lot of shows, and am in the middle of the floor when I can be, so you notice things.  I'm really glad that metal in particular has become less of a sausage-fest in recent years, and I encourage more women to come out to shows and have some fun with us! But some of

Justin actually does some great metal here!  Okay, not really, it's that crazy guy Andy Rehfeldt at it again.  Just don't tell Lisa Sanchez it's not real, I've got her convinced this was an awesome metal performance he did of the song. She even made the comment, "Wow, those girls in the crowd don't even know how to react to this!"

Megadeth's Gigantour is underway again, rolling across the United States, with Device, Black Label Society, Jason Newsted's new band, Hellyeah and more! They're wrecking cities completely with the metal before moving on to the next, and you can go backstage, and even on stage with Megadeth's bassist, David Ellefson...

Good old, straight ahead, in your face metal .... now with video!!

The new Megadeth album Super Collider comes out on Tuesday! I've heard two songs from the album so far. The first one, "Super Collider", I wasn't over the moon about. It's a straight-forward rock song, something you might find on Risk-era Megadeth. Not horrible by any stretch of the imagination, but probably not a song that will be high on my playlist. But the second song they even let o

Black Sabbath's new album, 13,  is not far away! They've been playing shows and performing some new songs from it, and thanks to the internets, we have the chance to hear the songs before the album even comes out! Get your Sabbath fix with some live new stuff! Blow up some computer speakers!

A month or so ago, I saw an event pop up on my Facebook feed for the show with Jeff Loomis and Soilwork in El Paso. They had Bonded by Blood on the bill as well, so with that lineup, I was instantly ready to go. Unfortunately, I work Thursday nights, so I was sad. Then one day (Wednesday night), Glenn asked if I could cover his show so he could take care of some personal business, and I jumped on

Cattle Decapitation's drummer David McGraw is on tour with the band right now, and when they hit Berlin yesterday, he decided to forgo the usual touristy things like sight-seeing. He didn't even feel like just sleeping in or reading a book on cow revolution or the cow subjugation of the human race. Instead, he went to a German hospital and had a "gnarly abscess" removed from his armpit!
