Earlier today, Mayhem Fest officially announced the lineup to this year’s bill during a press conference/Q&A at The Whiskey in L.A. And now we can officially say that Rob Zombie and Five Finger Death Punch will be co-headlining the touring festival, along with a pretty diverse metal lineup. In addition to Zombie and FFDP, the [...]
On March 18, the lineup to this year’s Mayhem Fest will be officially announced. Rumors on who will be playing the touring metal festival have continued to spread online, while we’ve also made our own predictions. However, now there are three names we can add onto the list of strong possibilities. Shortly after Mayhem Fest [...]
Hatebreed has been touring in support of The Divinity Of Purpose with Shadows Fall, Dying Fetus and The Contortionist for the past few weeks. And while the tour comes to an end this weekend, the band has been vocal about arranging for a second U.S. trek this year (a point guitarist Frank Novinec repeated when [...]
Readers of Metal Insider will know that Metal Blade president Brian Slagel is an avid hockey fan. But even we were surprised when he announced earlier this week via Facebook that he had officially become part of the ownership team of minor league hockey team the Trenton Titans.

It was great to hear songs from Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal played live, and while they’re more or less the gods of the djent movement, this proved that they could hang [...]
