Lock the mausoleum doors and chain up the cemetery gates – long-standing Gore Metal maniacs, EXHUMED re-emerge with their disgusting new album Death Revenge. The band’s 6th full-length sees them tread into ambitious new territory with their first concept album; a musical melodrama in thirteen parts based on shocking true events. Death Revenge takes place in the late 1820s in Edinburgh, Scotland and tells the macabre tale of a series of brutal murders where the victims’ cadavers were sold to anatomists, amid a grisly underground trade of grave-robbery. Recorded with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Goatwhore, Eternal, Gruesome), Death Revenge takes the band’s signature gore-drenched, death metal mayhem... 

Few metal bands have been as influential and have had the longevity as Diamond Head – listed as a major influence by two of metal’s biggest, Metallica and Megadeth. Led by co-founding member/guitarist Brian Tatler, Diamond Head will be launching a North American tour that will include both US and Canadian dates, beginning on August 19th with Psycho Las Vegas festival appearance and ending on September 11th at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, New York.  

Part of the reason I was ecstatic Jeff Loomis was joining the ranks of Arch Enemy was that it would help push the band forward beyond a simple vocalist change. Alissa White-Gluz provided a nice change of pace for the band, but beyond  a new face and some rekindled energy, 2014’s War Eternal was the same old song and dance. Looks like Loomis’ inclusion in the band isn’t changing the routine, either.  

TRIPTYKON have made the following statement announcing upcoming festival appearances and their search for a new drummer:  

When I was in 9th grade, I had a very hard time accepting that there was never going to be another Revocation in my life. The technical wizardry that came with 2009’s Existence is Futile pushed my listening habits further in the thrash metal revival that was going on at the time, and because of myself and many others Revocation have gone on to survive that fad and continue to push themselves to where they are now as a band.  Discovering Revocation was a one of a kind feeling, but the closest I’ve ever felt to that feeling again was hearing California’s Madrost for the first time.  

Since the disbandment of Celtic Frost, Tom G. Warrior has pushed onward with Triptykon, essentially carrying on the spirit of his most known band since. It seems however, they’ll be in need of a new drummer.  

After splitting with Megadeth, both Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover collaborated and put a new band together, drafting ex-Scar the Martyr vocalist Henry Derek and Shadows Fall bassist into Act of Defiance. Their first album, Birth and the Burial, was a success in getting  the band’s name out there, and now they’ve come out of hiding with a new album on the horizon and a new song ready to go.  

Netflix Inc. announced today it acquired Millarworld, the comic book publishing powerhouse founded by Mark Millar, the legendary creator of such iconic characters and stories as Kick-Ass, Kingsman, and Old Man Logan, and one of the most important voices in comics.  

Enslaved, Norway’s progressive viking/black metal outfit, are a force to be reckoned with, and the metal community stops when the band announces new music. After the departure of longtime keyboardist/vocalist Herbrand Larsen, the band are back with a new line-up and a new alubm, simply titled E.  

There’s a really, really good chance you’ve seen the album cover to Spawn of Possession’s Incurso. At the time, that album was a huge deal and the tech death band were kings of the genre when that album dropped. Unfortunately, however, it doesn’t seem like we’ll be getting a follow-up, as the band has decided to call it a day.  

Deadpool‘s post-credit scene had the Merc With a Mouth tell us straight up that we’d be getting Cable in the sequel. Some director changes later and we’ve finally got Josh Brolin at the time traveling mutant that has an extensive run with Deadpool, something that fans have always wanted to see.  

Writer and Top Cow President/COO Matt Hawkins (THINK TANK, SYMMETRY) teams up with writer Bryan Hill (POSTAL, ROMULUS) and artist Yuki Saeki (GameSpace, Crash) for the grittily realistic science fiction graphic novel GOLGOTHA this October.
