Images and Words is not only a notable album for Dream Theater, but one for progressive metal and the greater metal scene. Widely agreed upon as a classic, the album sparked an interest in Dream Theater when “Pull Me Under” became a hit single. Now, in celebration of the album, Dream Theater are bringing over their tour to North America, playing it in it’s entirety live.  

New Jersey-based progressive death metal outfit UNCURED have unveiled a brand new track, titled “Stygian Valley” as the band prepares for a heavy touring schedule through the rest of 2017. Led by 17 year-old guitar prodigy Rex Cox, alongside his 19 year-old brother, Zak Cox (lead guitars), plus the dynamic rhythm section of Jon Kita of Diecast (bass) and Liam Manley (drums) to round out the group, UNCURED will kick-off a lengthy US tour alongside DevilDriver, 36 Crazyfists and Cane Hill on August 18th.  

Today, Thrice is pleased to announce their fall co-headline tour with Circa Survive. The band recently wrapped their summer dates, sharing the stage with Deftones and Rise Against. After a short break and two performances at the Sonic Boom and Louder Than Life festivals, Thrice will be back in November playing their last shows before returning to the studio to start recording their tenth album.  

The band’s rendition of Grand Funk Railroad’s classic “We’re An American Band” already receives over One Million Views online.  

It’s been a while since the world has heard from Cannibal Corpse. The legendary death metal act has been hard at work on a new studio album, their fourteenth full LP, and have announced a forthcoming release date sometime this fall. What’s more excited? The tour coming with it.  

Long Beach, California’s RIVAL SONS are kicking off their European summer tour today at Les Nuits de la Guitare festival in France. The band are playing a number of festivals across the continent, including Lollapalooza Paris and the UK’s Ramblin’ Man Fair and Steelhouse Festival.  RIVAL SONS recently wrapped up a monumental tour supporting heavy metal legends BLACK SABBATH for the band’s last ever shows.  

Over the years, a whole new appreciation has developed for the “Blaze Bayley era” of Iron Maiden – which resulted in such classic albums as 1995’s ‘X Factor’ and 1998’s ‘Virtual XI’ (and the singles “Man on the Edge,” “Lord of the Flies,” “The Angel and the Gambler,” “Futureal,” and an all-new track on 1996’s Best of the Beast comp, “Virus”).  

Coming back in a spectacular fashion last year, Wolves in the Throne Room resurfaced with a US tour that sold out many of its dates. The atmospheric black metal group announced a few weeks ago their forth coming album, Thrice Woven, and now they’re following it up with tour dates with Pillorian.  

EYEHATEGOD will kick off a thirty-nine-date US mega tour next month. The Left To Starve summer takeover will commence on August 1st, run through September 13th, and includes performances with Capitalist Casualties, Phobia, Primitive Man, Negative Approach, Antiseen, Cro-Mags, Pig Destroyer, The Obsessed, and Mountain Of Wizard on select dates! The journey also marks frontman Mike IX Williams’ lengthiest tour since undergoing liver transplant surgery this past December.  

It’s an incredible accomplishment when a rock band has been successful enough to reach the 25-year mark since the release of their first album.  

While on their run opening for Metallica a few months ago, Volbeat had originally scheduled an headlining date in New Jersey. The day before the show, the band were forced to reschedule it as vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsen went to be with his wife, who had just given birth back in Denmark. Fulfilling their promise to make the date up, Volbeat returned to New Jersey Monday night, the 17th, and with it they brought up a few surprises.  

Southern Californian rock trio RADIO MOSCOW has just delivered the masters of its fifth studio album, “New Beginnings”, which is set for release via their new label home, Century Media Records, on September 29, 2017.
