God bless Metal Sucks. They’ve found the latest mash-up by Australian artist Wax Audio, which takes Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” and marries it to “Doin’ It,” a 1976 track by jazz/funk artist Herbie Hancock. While on paper, the two artists sound about as compatible as, say, Metallica and Lou Reed (wait a minute), it works [...]

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Morbid Angel. Their most recent album, last year’s Illud Divinum Insanus, wasn’t exactly their most popular album.

And just like that, another year has almost passed. Who knows what 2012 brings? We can’t predict the future, but the least we could do is ask some people in the metal community what they think might happen, as well as what they’re looking forward to in the coming year. Brian Slagel (Founder/CEO of Metal [...]

During the second night of their intimate 30th Anniversary shows at the Filmore in San Francisco (December 7), Metallica performed yet another song that was recorded during the Death Magnetic sessions but never released.

And this past Saturday (December 3), Aronofsky’s video for “The View” (though earlier reports had stated [...]

Headbangers’ Brawl is a weekly column where Metal Insider’s Bram and Zach take a moment to debate and analyze two opposing sides of a topical issue occurring in the world of metal and/or the music industry. Van Halen’s no-show wasn’t the only disappointment from Wednesday night’s Grammy Nomination Show. We’ve always been disappointed by the Academy’s ignorance towards [...]
