Well, for the most part. I mean, Lamb of God’s “In Your Words” from Wrath is in the running for Best Heavy Metal Performance at the 2011 Grammys. Weird, seeing as Wrath will have been released two years ago by the time the Grammy Awards air in February. How the hell does that happen? Because Read More

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

As you know, former Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch left the best thing that ever happened to him about six years ago after finding God.

Murderdolls To Support Alice, Zombie In 2011

Posted by Chris Harris on October 25, 2010 in News, Tour Dates

I’m so not excited for this. I probably won’t get tickets the first day they go on sale. Sure — Rob Zombie’s the man, and Alice Cooper’s cool. But I’ve seen Zombie a ton of times, and Alice…I’d rather play a round of golf with dude than have to sit through an Alice set. And Read More

That sounds bad. Kind of like when Nergal cancelled Behemoth’s tour because he was feeling a little under the weather. But apparently, he’s going to be OK. Still, this can’t be good. David Draiman — Disturbed’s frontman — has been diagnosed with a serious throat condition, the extent of which remains private at this time. Read More

The Battle of the Band Babes, where we take the better halves of two of metal’s leaders and decide which one we’d rather bone. Sure, it’s wrong but you have to admit its a little Read More
