Rejected by even the lowest also-ran nu-metal mooks, (hed)p.e. have sunken so far down to the lowest dregs of society that they’ve been drawn into the only scene left that will actually accept them; Juggalos. They’ve been touring with Psycopathic artists for years now, but somehow I missed the fact that they’ve now even resorted [...]

Artist:
So you may have heard this story that Axl Rose allegedly got in a fight with some paparazzi at LAX the other day while on his way to board a flight to Taipei, Taiwan, where Guns N’ Roses are about to finally begin touring in support of Chinese Democracy more than a year after its [...]

I THOUGHT GLENN DANZIG WAS MY FRIEND, BUT HE WAS ACTUALLY A WARLOCK
-
Artist:
Remember the video for Danzig’s “Mother?” With the requisite blond metal chick? In case you don’t, here’s the clip:Ever wonder what became of that lady? Well Lucho at Metal Inquisition did, and he followed-up with some good old fashioned investigative journalism. And as it turns out, that nice blond girl got old, busted, and completely [...]

WHAT THE FUCK IS “LOCRACY?”
-
Artist:Locracy
Reader Joseph Daniel Salas suggested we check out Locracy from Vienna. I was in Vienna for about four days once, and it’s a beautiful city, even with the rampant skinhead population. I went to some giant-ass club/party thing that ran all along the river and had a hell of a time.Unfortunately, Locracy – whose name [...]

NEW LUDICRA IS LUDICROUS
-
Artist:
Shame on me for just recently discovering Ludicra. But three cheers for the fact that running a metal site exposes me to awesome new music on a fairly consistent basis. As a wise lyricist once wrote, ya take the good, ya take the bad, ya take ‘em both and there ya have the fact of [...]

AN EPIC PIANO COVER OF TOOL’S “VICARIOUS”
-
Artist:
Tool are another example of a band that aren’t being included in as many decade-end lists as they should be simply because they don’t have a new album out and aren’t fresh on writers’ minds. I have seen Lateralus pop up on a fair number of lists (deservedly so), but I feel like if Tool [...]

TRIPTYKON WILL WAX THAT ASS
-
Artist:Triptykon
-
Track:Abyss Within My Soul
It’s been well over a year since Thomas Gabriel Fischer announced he was leaving Celtic Frost and starting a new band, Triptykon, and there’s still no friggin’ album. And I fucking hated the first song the band released, “Crucifixus,” which was basically several minutes of droning seemingly designed to punish anyone hoping Triptykon might make [...]

I DISAPPEARER

Artist:
When it comes to metal and hardcore, 2009 has been an exceptional year for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The legendary Cave In officially reunited, played some shows, and released the four-song Planets of Old 12″. Converge dropped the highly-anticipated Axe To Fall, considered by some to be as good as or even [...]

WILL BARONESS TAKE THE COVETED BEST LIVE SET OF THE YEAR AWARD TWO YEARS IN A ROW?

Artist:
Last year Baroness played a truly stellar set that left me weak in the knees; this year, despite having had actual knee surgery back in April, I felt pretty damn sturdy after dem “stoner-metal-meets-Ford-truck-jingle” Georgians finished their consistent yet largely humdrum set a couple weeks ago.As many of y’all have commented recently, this year’s Blue [...]

THE AUSTERITY PROGRAM’S JUSTIN FOLEY ON WHY THE JESUS LIZARD IS THE BEST BAND EVER

I was visiting friends and family in Chicago around Thanksgiving and I went to see the Jesus Lizard. It was a fine show, the lead singer had a really hurt rib, the set list was solid. Afterwards, we were all happy and sweaty and some friends and I went for pancakes. A good night out. [...]

SO I GUESS ROADRUNNER RECORDS IS STILL SIGNING METAL BANDS AFTER ALL
-
Artist:
After the fracas that ensued following my post about the supposed non-metal future of Roadrunner Records, it would appear that Roadrunner Records hasn’t given up on metal after all. In the past week they’ve announced two brand new metal signings, which would seemingly indicate that Roadrunner is going to try and forge ahead with metal [...]

Reader Jared Piers e-mailed us about this unsigned band from Toronto called Speak of the Devil. Now, I’m not going to talk about Speak of the Devil’s music, because whatever. It’s incredibly generic and not for me but to each their own. Rather, I’d like to talk about the below promo photo of the band, [...]

UK heavy-techno band Pendulum — who really fucking impressed me the one time I saw them live — have posted a remix of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.” Pendulum have always tried to fit into the metal / hard rock spheres with mixed reactions… their techno does definitely incorporate elements of both as does their live [...]
