The best kind of metal is free metal, and that’s why we speak the names of Dying Fetus, who have bestowed upon us this day a song from their forthcoming album. It’s gratis, baby. Head here, and just download the song, which is called “Subjected To A Beating.” I know a few people who should Read More
Perfect timing! Six Feet Under’s excellent new album Undead lands in stores today. What a great time for them to announce a new guitarist? Ola Englund has joined the band, and will make his first official appearance with the band on the 18 Nights Of Blood Tour next month. Dude replaces Rob Arnold, who has Read More
They just keep adding more and more goods bands to this fest. I feel like the initial lineup was rather weak, and someone in the Metallica camp took notice and decided to enlist the likes of Charred Walls of the Damned, Black Dahlia Murder, and Ghost to beef that shit up a bit…make it worth Read More

Oh yes, my people folks. Metal Blade Records has signed Entrails, “one of the best death metal bands ever to come out of Sweden,” a press release claims. Entrails formed in the 90s, but split up before they were able to release a demo or even an album. It took them until 2008 to come Read More
The new issue of Rolling Stone features a number of interviews with the members of Metallica. Perhaps the most noteworthy stuff came from James Hetfield, who, from my reading of his words, is sick of doing all the stuff involved in being Metallica…other than writing and playing music. When asked how far into the new Read More
Will Haven continue to work on a new album they hope to record later this year. “Hello…its been a while since you have heard from the Will Haven camp so I thought I would give you all an update,” reads a post on the band’s Facebook page. “We have been staying busy, we are working Read More
