Here are the six best Dream Theater songs under six minutes! As the godfathers of modern progressive metal, Dream Theater are often praised – or chastised – for prioritizing extremely complex playing and lengthy compositions.

Honestly, Dream Theater have crafted dozens of great songs that emphasize irresistible melodies, moving lyricism, understated instrumentation and easily digestible durations. They may have some quirky or flashy “prog” moment...

Did a new masked wrestling group rip off Slipknot or Mushroomhead? Uncle Howdy, formerly known as Bo Dallas, made a dramatic reappearance last night (June 17) at WWE Raw. In a video uploaded by WWE that looked more like a horror movie than a wrestling event, someone crawled out from behind late WWE star Bray Wyatt‘s door toward his lantern. Donning a tattered dress that resembles an old doll, the person pointed toward the door, and inside was a giant rabbit-looking figure holding a mallet with the word “help” written on the side. As the camera traveled through the corridor, over apparent dead ...

For this week’s Loud List, we compiled clips of metal bands covering pop songs. You don’t typically think you’ll hear pop songs when you’re going to a metal show, but music is music, and a lot of artists don’t discriminate by genre. Plus, you’d be lying if you said there isn’t a single pop song in the history of music that you like. The definition of pop music has changed overtime, especially as certain genres become more prominent. During times where rock ‘n’ roll was the most popular style of music… one could argue that it was “pop music,” as “pop” just stands for popular. Nowadays, most peo...

The symbol was designed by the late drummer, who also helped come up with the band’s name back in 1995.

I drew the Slipknot logo and the tribal ‘S’,” Jordison told Kerrang!in 2017. “I drew that logo on my dad’s old desk in the house I grew up in. I had this little piece of paper and drew it with pen and ink. It stained the desk...
