Sometimes, I wish I lived in Canada. Free healthcare, clean air, picturesque nature, lots of white snow, good bud, and good beer. And on July 23 and July 24, the Canadians will get the Heavy T.O. Festival, the initial lineup for which was released this week. Who’s playing? Glad you asked. Megadeth — who seem Read More
Stupid germs. It seems like lately, everybody’s been getting sick around me. It is that season, though. People are getting sick in droves, and some of them are coughing into their hands and spreading their sickness all over the place, making the rest of the immediate world miserable. And it seems germs — or bad Read More
That’s right. Jonathan Miller — in a statement just released — says that the years of drugging and boozing has finally caught up with him and he will enter a rehab facility in the new year. “I know that a lot of DevilDriver fans seek me out first as the one to party with because Read More
Yeah…I wouldn’t be seeing this tour even if it were hitting New York, but it isn’t, so DevilDriver made the decision for me. Regardless, the tour kicks off January 20 in Oakland, California, with the Cancer Bats and Baptized In Blood providing support. The bands will all be touring under the “Bound By The Road Read More

Yeah — I know people are super into this band but they’re yet another act that’s failed to tickle my ‘scrote completely. They’re progressive, and the music’s good. Yet I find myself wondering what it’d sound like with vocals, and can’t help but imagine it sounding better with vocals. Still, I will write about them Read More
You know, I nearly forgot that there was going to be an Ozzfest this summer, because…well, let’s be fucking honest. It’s playing six dates and the lineup leaves a lot to be desired. Beyond Saviours, Goatwhore, Katakylsm, and Skeletonwitch, I don’t see much of a reason to attend. Ozzfest is returning in its weakened state Read More
You’d think a gal like Maria Brink gets hit on constantly. I mean, look at her! But the singer for In This Moment never gets approached by dudes anymore. Her band is three albums into it’s career, dominating on this summer’s RockStar Energy Mayhem Festival, and, a few weeks back, debuted at #40 on Billboard’s Read More
