Immitation may be the finest form of flattery, but actually being able to build off of your influences is another thing entirely. Such is the story of Vibrion, who wear their death metal influences proudly, but are carving their own path entirely. Their first album in years, Bacterya shows everyone how to put out solid, old school death metal in 2016.
Bands always experience drama: people quit, tours go wrong, and including new people in the band can always be problematic. After losing two members in 2014, Lord Mantis are regaining their footing and delivering a follow-up EP to one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2014, and with a NSFW album cover, too.

In typical fashion, Dark Tranquillity have announced a robust end of year tour for North America. No stranger to announcing events far in advance, the band has taken it upon themselves to announce their next set of dates in North America nearly nine months in advance. From November into December, the band will be bringing along melo-doom outfit Swallow the Sun, traditional speed metal act Enforcer, and modern melo-death Chicago natives Starkill for what should be an incredibly amazing show no matter how you spin it.
Back in the early nineties, when the Seattle Grunge Sound was tearing through the Metal community, there was one band that was still plowing through and actually gaining traction, as band after band released music that was stalling at the gate. The irony was that this band also hailed from the state of Washington, but sounded nothing like their contemporaries coming from the same area. The band was Queensryche, and as anyone who knows Queensryche, this band has a unique a sound as any.
Long running metal icons, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, will kick off an epic North American live takeover next month. The first leg of the journey kicks off on April 6th in Huntington, West Virginia and will run through April 15th in Poughkeepsie, New York with support provided by Mothership. The following evening the band will play a special one-off show with Eyehategod in Richmond, Virginia.
