If you’re a fan of either Cave-In or Converge, it’s almost impossible not to enjoy Mutoid Man. Featuring Cave-In’s singer and guitarist Stephen Brodsky, Converge’s drummer Ben Coller and Nick Cageo on bassi, who you might have seen doing sound at Saint Vitus, the powerful trio are set to release their sophomore album, War Moans, on […]

Converge have risen up the ranks over the 27 years since their formation to become one of the elite bands in hardcore. Since the release of 2001’s Jane Doe, every album they release is pretty much an event, and it’s been five long years since the release of their eighth album, 2012’s All We Love We Leave Behind. […]

“Melt Your Mind.” It’s the title of the latest new song from Mutoid Man, but it’s also an apt description of what listening to the song will do. We loved Mutoid Man’s debut full length Bleeder when it came out a few years ago, given that we were big fans of Cave In. That band’s Singer and […]

Good news for people that like good music. It’s 2017, and with that, we have a bunch of solid music to look forward to. And while we know that some stuff, like Mastodon, Ghost, Overkill and Suicide Silence will be out, there’s more releases being added by the week. It’s been since 2012 that Converge put […]

One of the many supergroups out there Killer Be Killed, formed by members of Soulfly, Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Converge, want to destroy everybody’s ears even more than what they already do, and just provided a new update regarding their highly anticipated sophomore album: “A little catch up…to let you guys know where we’re […]

The more we hear of the debut Mutoid Man full length, Bleeder, the more we’re loving it. Just the combination of Cave In’s Stephen Brodsky and Converge’s Ben Koller (along with Saint Vitus’ sound dude Nick Cageao), alone guarantees a good time, but the songs are even tighter and at a more breakneck speed than their debut […]

After releasing a killer six-song EP, Helium Head back in 2013, Mutoid Man signed to Sargent House and will be releasing a full-length this Summer. The trio, featuring Cave-In’s Stephen Brodsky, Converge drummer Ben Koller (who actually logged time in Cave-In) and Nick Cageao, are currently working on the album at God City Studios. For Decibel, the […]

The initial lineup announcement of Killer be Killed sounded almost too good to be true. The frontmen of The Dillinger Escape Plan and Soulfly/Cavalera Consipiracy with Troy Sanders from Mastodon and Dave Elitch from the Mars Volta? While the album delivered, the logistical schedule of the band meant that they wouldn’t all be readily available to […]
