30 years ago, I wasn’t even a thought to my parents. Having just celebrated my 24th birthday, age is creeping up on me and feeling very much apparent as I’m slowing falling into seniority. To think that for the entirety of my lifetime (and then some) that Paradise Lost has been hustling and exploring the sonic landscape of gothic, doom-laden metal, is astonishing. Yet here I find myself, camera in hand, as the band makes their first New York appearance in six years to celebrate the extensive history of their band.  

Ferocious American metal pioneers JUNGLE ROT have announced headlining dates for their return to European shores this spring. “Finally, the wheels are in motion and we return to Europe for the first time in five years with the 2019 Send Forth Oblivion Tour Part 1!” exudes JUNGLE ROT warlord Dave Matrise.  

Following an earth-shattering appearance at this weekend’s Rock Allegiance Festival in the cesspool known as Camden, NJ your Lords and Masters GWAR kicked off the Gore, Core and More Tour last night with co-headliners Hatebreed. Find a complete list of dates below.  

 As Nothing More continues to amass critical praise for their most recent album, the three-time Grammy-nominated The Stories We Tell Ourselves, including the #1 track at Rock Radio, “Go To War,” the band announces their most personal and meaningful headlining concert tour yet.  Of Mice and Men will Special Guest on all dates, with Badflower and Palisades supporting.*   

Two seminal New York bands emerged from the heavy music scene together in the early 90s, yet somehow have never shared the same stage until now. Life of Agony and Sick Of It All are excited to announce that they will co-headline two shows together for the first time in their 30 year history. The shows, labeled “Two Sick Nights of Agony” will take place December 14th at The Paramount (Huntington, NY) and December 15th at The Stone Pony (Asbury Park, NJ).  

DIRTY MACHINE (Zombie Shark Records) will be joining P.O.D., Nonpoint and Islander on select dates for the Full Circle Tour!  

Beginning October 4th, the road hounds in EYEHATEGOD will deafen South America on a week-long excursion that includes performances in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, and Peru. From there, the band will take a short breather before teaming up with their comrades in Cro-Mags for a West Coast US tour.  

Michale Graves, the iconic punk-rocker who once fronted one of the world’s most legendary punk rock bands, The Misfits, continues his Course Of Empire tour across North America for the remainder of 2018. Joining Graves for the North American tour is fellow punk rocker Argyle Goolsby, and horror punk vocalist Nim Vind.  

“It doesn’t get more blasphemous than this,” declares Behemoth mastermind Nergal, about the band’s upcoming album, I Loved You At Your Darkest – due out October 5th via Metal Blade Records (North America) / Nuclear Blast (Europe). While it certainly seems an unlikely title for a black metal band, its origin might surprise fans even more than the words themselves. “It’s a verse from the Bible,” Nergal reveals. “It’s actually a quote from Jesus Christ himself. For Behemoth to use it as the basis of our record, it’s sacrilege to the extreme.” A crushing salvo of black metal majesty replete with hellish riffs, thundering drum cannonades and soaring... 

Portland, OR rockers RED FANG announce the second leg of their US headlining tour dates at the end of the year. The brief tour begins December 12nd in Eugene, OR and ends December 15 in Bellingham, WA. Support will be provided by R.I.P. on all four dates. The tour rounds up RED FANG’s Winter 2018 tour dates featuring additional select support by Thunderpussy, Telekinetic Yeti, Wizard Rifle and Gaythiest. All confirmed tour dates are available below.  

It’s a feat few thought could happen, perhaps most shocking to Al Jourgensen himself. The industrial godfather and founder of noise provocateurs Ministry turns 60 years old on October 9, surviving 12 American presidents, 37 years in the music industry and a whole lot of well-documented raucous behavior in between.  

Singer, songwriter, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, Korn frontman and one of the most inimitable voices in music, Jonathan Davis is set to hit the road for his ‘The Black Labyrinth Tour’ this Saturday (10/6).
