It’s a pretty insane week for festival announcements. As if Bonnaroo and Rock on the Range aren’t enough, the granddaddy of metal festivals, the New England Metal and hardcore Festival, has gone official and unveiled their lineup. We already correctly guessed that the Mastodon/BTBAM/Baroness tour would be part of it, but that’s only part of [...]

Dust off your backwards baseball cap and serve yourself a nice heaping glass of haterade, Limp Bizkit is coming back! While they’ve already played some European festivals, Fred Durst and company are playing the first American show since last year’s reunion at this year’s Rock on the Range festival, taking place in Columbus Ohio on [...]

In case you weren’t paying attention, last year Mastodon unveiled Crack the Skye, an album so cohesive that they’ve been playing it in its entirety for their last few tours.

Showtime’s David Duchovny comeback vehicle Californication has been a favorite of mine since the series debuted in 2007, and I’ve always appreciated creator Tom Kapinos’ subtle homages to metal. Duchovny’s character, Hank Moody, is a modern-day Charles Bukowski with a severe case of writer’s block following the massive success of his third novel, God Hates [...]

The words “metal radio” almost seem like a contradiction in 2009, but there’s still heavy music to be found for those that look. Radio industry trade magazine FMQB (or Friday Morning Quarterback) has been tracking what’s getting spun on college radio, metal commercial specialty (aka, one hour new music shows, usually on Sunday nights), and [...]

If you want to read the best metal sites on the web, just look at our blogroll to the right and keep reading this one. But because there’s tons of other news and information all over the interwebs, we occasionally look at other sites. Indie rock blog Stereogum is usually pretty annoying for its trendier than [...]

In less than four weeks, it will be 2010, which can only mean one thing. All our favorite metal scribes and blogs are dusting off their trusty thesaruses (thesari?) and cranking up the hyperbole machine to come out with their list of the year’s best music. But since January 1 will bring not only a new year, but [...]

So the Grammys were announced, and it’s pretty much more of the same. Predictable, safe, boring. I mean, for the most part, the metal nominees deserve it, but they could have taken a ton more chances. Here’s what got nominated for Best Metal Performance: Judas Priest “Dissident Aggressor” from A Touch of Evil – Live Lamb of [...]
