New Hampshire’s Vattnet, formerly known as Vattnet Viskar, have been getting attention in the US black metal scene in the past few years, with their releases Sky Swallower and Settler gathering positive reviews and attention. Last year, after completing a tour with the prolific black metal act, Taake, the band underwent some changes and went mostly silent.  

It shook the In Flames fanbase at first, but when Peter Iwers stepped down as bassist, it was quickly announced that he was reuniting with former band mate Jesper Stromblad. Soon after, the project was revealed to be titled “CyHra” and other members were being announced around the same time. Little has been revealed since then, but we may be getting closer to finding out what they’ll be sounding like.

Satyricon are one of the most recognizable black metal acts, stemming from a long line of history that started in the 90’s.

It’s hard to believe, but it has already been four years since Alice in Chains released their last album. The band seems aware of this, too, as guitarist Jerry Cantrell revealed the band is entering the studio next month to record a follow-up.  

Since Dredd released in 2012, fans have been clamoring for Judge Dredd to return in a sequel. With that follow-up being unlikely, fans will probably be given the next best thing when Judge Dredd: Mega City One comes to television.  

Veteran actor Michael Parks has reportedly passed away at the age of 77.  

Critically acclaimed progressive rock mastermind Steven Wilson has been hard at work on his next studio album, and after months off from touring, he’s finally returned with a new song and album.  

Sadly, while we’ll never see Guillermo del Toro’s proposed final Hellboy film, that doesn’t mean Hellboy is an untouchable property.
