A metal fan is making a case that Metallica songs without distortion are just a bunch of surf rock music. Is Metallica Surf Rock?Before you completely dismiss this idea, let us remind you Metallica is a California-based outfit.

In support of their new album Invincible Shield, Judas Priest kicked off their North American tour last night (April 18) in Wallingford, Ct. with special guest Sabaton. The Metal Gods took the stage at the Oakdale Theatre and ripped through an 18-song set that heavily focused on the new record, British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance.

The set mostly mirrored what most fans in Europe already saw the last few weeks, with s...

Metalcore fans on Reddit are debating which act in the genre had the best five-year run with their musical output. A lot can happen over a five-year period. While the span may seem kind of short, it’s not often that you see bands sustain a particular brand of excellence over that long of a period without some sign of drop-off, which makes the question all the more interesting. The person who posed the question in the Metalcore Reddit thread also offered their pick which was Architects between the years 2013 to 2018 citing their run from Daybreaker (Editor’s Note: The album came out on May 28, ...

When I call Wristmeetrazor’s Justin Fornof on Zoom, he pops up on camera wearing a balaclava and a completely pale-white contact lens. This wasn’t an interview that was hitting YouTube or Instagram, and yet Fornof looked like he was in full-stage garb. I compliment his look but clarify that no one else is going to see this, to which he chuckles. “When you do things in terms of your art, everything has to be cohesive,” he says about his appearance. “Even the interviews I do that aren’t filmed, I try to do something.” Not that you would expect a member of Wristmeetrazor, a band with extremely we...

Here are 10 examples of musicians who only played on a big band’s debut album. It often takes several years for a band to release their first full-length sequence; as such, you’d think that by the time they do – and hopefully reap the benefits of their hard work – everyone involved is there for the long haul. However, the annals of rock and metal music are filled with situations that led people to jump ship before the group put out their sophomore album. Usually, they’re musicians who joined after the project got going, but there have also been numerous incidents of founding members moving on ...

El sábado 13 de abril, Irán lanzó alrededor de 300 drones y misiles contra Israel, en represalia por la destrucción de la embajada iraní en Siria. Aunque los sistemas de defensa israelíes, reforzados por el apoyo de Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y los aliados europeos, neutralizaron el 99% de las amenazas, el incidente ha desatado la preocupación por una escalada de la tensión en el inestable Oriente Medio. Tras el ataque, la Casa Blanca se opuso claramente a cualquier acción israelí de represalia contra Irán, con el objetivo de evitar una escalada hacia un conflicto armado regional. Sin embargo...
