Rob Zombie has always looked back fondly at White Zombie’s 1995 tour with the Melvins. Apparently, though, the feeling isn’t mutual. Frontman Buzz Osbourne has been chronicling the sludge legends’ 51 Days tour in a blog diary for SPIN. And in his latest entry, Osbourne recalls why the White Zombie tour was his worst touring [...]

Ah, 2001. It was a simpler time. People still cared about rap-metal, and San Diego’s Payable On Death released their fourth album, Satellite – on September 11th. In the wake of what else happened on that day, the album’s first single, “Alive” became somewhat of an inspirational anthem. After that album, they slowly lost relevance, yet [...]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. Anyone that thinks the djent movement was just a fad is probably eating their palm-muted words right now. Periphery’s sophomore album has a debut that many more established bands would kill for. For a [...]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. That’s it – we’ve reached the end of the internet. When these two screamo, rapist, dance/techno idiots can have 10,000 14 year-olds waste their allowance money on this terrible music, something’s wrong. The band [...]

Five years ago, the last Rush album, Snakes & Arrows, sold 93,000 copies. That’s why it’s even more impressive that in 2012, their new album has sold over 100,000 copies, matching the #2 peak that they reached back in 1993 with Counterparts. Is rock alive? Did their cameo in I Love You Man help out? Was it their [...]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. I’m pretty sure this is the first and last time we’ll be writing about the Rock of Ages soundtrack here on Metal By Numbers. It did have a pretty solid debut, but basically, this bullshit [...]

Just as Freak Puke hits shelves and online music stores today, The Melvins have announced an absolutely excruciating (freakishly nauseating?) tour schedule. On September 5th, 2012, the Melvins Lite lineup of Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Trevor Dunn plan to kick off a tour that will crown them the fastest band ever to play all [...]

How many times can a band reinvent their lineup before they lose their appeal? Fear Factory has certainly tested those limits in the past decade, so much so that singer Burton C. Bell is the only founding member of the band to have remained in the lineup for the band’s entire career. Somehow, against impossible [...]

It looks like we’ll be getting new music from both the Melvins AND Melvins Lite this year. The four-piece version of the band (not to be confused with the lineup releasing Freak Puke) is teaming up with Scion A/V Metal to release their new EP The Bulls & The Bees. And just like with all [...]

As if this year wasn’t already jam packed with highly anticipated releases, the Melvins have announced details regarding a new album. Titled Freak Puke, the record will be released on June 5 via Ipecac Records. However, Freak Puke is slightly different from the sludge rock band’s previous 20 albums. This album will actually be released [...]
