Sweden’s infamous rockers DEAD LORD are excited to reveal the news that they have completed recording their third album.  

Red Fang, who play Rock on the Range today, add to their canon of comedic clips, debuting the video for “Cut It Short”  

We keep hearing the whole argument that “rock is dead” because the industry isn’t selling like it used to. I don’t agree with that statement at all, but what’s obvious is that every rock band today that you come across needs to step up the game a little bit more. Instead of trying to duplicate Nickelback’s success or whatever it is Shinedown is doing, bands should at least be focusing on better songwriting to give the genre a bit of a kickstart. Life of Agony, who are no strangers to both the metal and rock scene, pulled through NJ on the release tour for their new album, A Place Where There’s No More Pain, and with this particular show they managed to bring together bands from across the board for one... 

Thrice was front and center at this years “Earthday Birthday” 2017 held by WJRR in Orlando. The band sat down with Metal Machine to talk what Earthday means to them, their latest album and what’s next for the band.  

Released in 1987, Triumph And Agony is the fourth studio album from German heavy metal titans WARLOCK. The record was a mammoth success globally with hit singles and MTV’s Headbangers Ball favorites “All We Are” and “Für immer” among other now-pinnacle anthems like “East Meets West,” “Metal Tango,” “I Rule The Ruins,” and “Touch Of Evil.” Triumph And Agony stands among heavy metal’s true cult classics.  

 Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band Goo Goo Dolls today announce the release of their new 5 song EP You Should Be Happy, via Warner Bros.

Another day, another story about Visa issues and European bands. In the past few years, Visa Issues have become a widespread problem with bands, with the likes of Cradle of Filth and Obscura being victims of this system. Taake are currently in danger of facing the same problem, just as they’re getting set to embark on another US Tour.  

The band will be touring in support of their last year’s album “Psychopathology”, released on Agonia Records, together with fellow black metallers Cvinger (Slovenia), Infinityum (France) and Aeternum Vale (Ireland). The 9-date routing will go though five countries.  

In a somewhat surprising revelation, returning Morbid Angel frontman Steve Tucker revealed that the band’s setlist on their upcoming tour with Suffocation will feature material only from his era in the band.  

GOATWHORE, who are currently wrapping up a tour with label mates Amon Amarth, will play the Fort Worth Metal Fest at the The Rail Club in Fort Wort, Texas at the end of the month before taking to the streets again for a near-three-week North American journey from June 9th through July 1st. Support will be provided by Vancouver metallers, Anciients. See all confirmed dates below.
