That, according to pint-sized drummer Joey Jordison, who tells Billboard — of all folks — that Slipknot has already begun work on material for a new studio album. Guess that’ll silence all that speculation about whether the band would carry on after the May 2010 overdose death of bassist Paul Gray. “It’s already in motion,” Read More
Oh snap! Amon Amarth are returning, Amon Amarth are returning. I am fucking beyond psyched, because let’s face it — no one does the whole viking metal thing better than Amon Amarth. Their sound is crushing and epic, and their albums — at least for me — seem to just cruise by; I turn ‘em Read More
Sodom need a new drummer, now that the German thrash metal veterans have decided, “by mutual agreement,” that Bobby Schottkowski shouldn’t be in the band any more. “After personal and private problems between [bassist/vocalist Thomas ‘Angelripper’ Such] and Bobby [Schottkowski], it was decided, by mutual agreement, to end the cooperation between Sodom and the drummer Read More
That’s right, folks. You can now own late Kiss drummer Eric Carr’s car. Oh yes…a gray Porsche 924 that looks like it’s been parked under a tree for 20 years. It also looks like Louie Anderson used the car’s front end as a fucking recliner. But you can own that piece of shit, folks…we just Read More

But then again, if you’re a Disturbed fan, you probably already knew this. But you probably didn’t know when the tour was Read More
I happen to love hearing altered versions of songs I’ve already fallen in love with, especially when done by the artists themselves. And the Deftones sort of excel in this department. They’ve released a ton of acoustic and re-imagined versions of their songs in the past and they’ve all been brilliant. That acoustic version of Read More
Black Dahlia Murder frontman Trevor Strnad is back again after the long holiday weekend…this time, with some praise for one of his most beloved food groups.
