Nashville, TN’s Exit/In played host to Norwegian Black ‘n Rollers Kvelertak with support from the mighty Cancer Bats and Black Tusk. I was really surprised at the demographic that they drew out that night, ranging from folks in their early 20′s to a 60-year-old couple! The venue started to get pretty full just as sludge [...]

First the bad news: Kvelertak’s drummer, Kjetil Gjermundrod is unable to continue drumming with the band on their first headlining tour in support of Meir. The good news, on the other hand, is that they’re not cancelling the tour, and have lined up a high-profile drummer to fill-in: Jay Weinberg. You know, son of Bruce Springsteen [...]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. Ah, April. Where spring gets going, where you can’t trust the internet for a day, and where people find a day to pretend to be stoners while real stoners treat it like any other [...]

The Exorcist-like devil possession? [...]
