British thrash legends LAWNMOWER DETH are due to play a special warm-up show in preparation for their appearance at this year’s Download festival in the UK.  

Sevendust’s “Cold Day Memory” tour stopped at Mulcahy’s of Wantagh on Long Island Tuesday night, May 11th and the quintet from Atlanta, Georgia sure brought some Southern fire along with them.  

KITTIE has posted their first behind the scenes look into life on the road with the Insane Clown Posse. Only days into the tour and the band has dealt with van breakdowns, a show cancelation and braving the KFC double down chicken sandwich. KITTIE is currently out on tour this spring supporting INSANE CLOWN POSSE, KOTTONMOUTH KINGS and COOLIO.  

Nu-Metal legends Korn showed New York they can still kick it old school during their stop at the Roseland Ballroom this past Monday (May 10th).  

Feel The Pain was formed in June of 2006 with the intention of creating an aggressive and dark sound inspired by hatred and anger. The band’s intense and driving music comes from the desire to express the inner violence that exists in each member’s soul.  

It’s clobberin’ time as the legendary NYC hardcore pioneers, SICK OF IT ALL, have returned with an absolutely crushing new full-length album that is going to once again redefine the genre they helped create. The vicious new offering, Based On A True Story, is now available everywhere.  

Dirty Little Rabbits’s first single, “Professional Hit” is available today at all digital retailers. The b-side features another track,”I Love You,” from the Johnston, Iowa-based group’s full length self-titled debut (out July 6 on The End Records). Fans can catch the Rabbits live this summer when they appear on the Van’s Warped Tour (see current dates below).  

If you’ve not heard Bearer of the Darkest Plagues (Baars Records) from Philadelphia bruisers BLASPHEMOUS, then you’ve done yourself a serious disservice. This is memorable U.S. black metal with a death metal punch and easily one of the best examples of the style you’ll hear in 2010.  

Glenn Danzig, at the forefront of the hardcore/dark metal movement for nearly three decades, announces a special nine-city concert trek that will kick off in Norfolk, VA on June 15. The dates, played to usher in the release of Deth Red Sabaoth (evilive/The End Records), Danzig’s first new studio album in six years, will feature long-time Danzig cohort, guitarist Tommy Victor (Prong, Ministry), drummer Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative) and former Samhaim bandmate, bassist Steve Zing.  

Assume the fetal position; WARVICTIMS’ Domedagen is about to pay you a decidedly unfriendly visit. On offer are fourteen new tracks from Sweden’s masters of D-beat, Käng and Rå-punk.
