BEHEMOTH frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski has reacted to the news that Joe Biden has become the new president of the United States, saying “it feels like a big fuckin’ relief.” Biden amassed 273 Electoral College votes after winning Pennsylvania’s 20 electors, surpassing the 270 needed to win the White House and defeat President Donald Trump.

I saw the CNN announcement and it feels like a big fuckin’ relief honestly. Why it is a relief for a Polish guy from the other side of the globe? I tell u right away: it’s a light in the end of a tunnel that MAYBE era of barrato...

GUNS N’ ROSES‘ Slash, METALLICA‘s Kirk Hammett and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE‘s Tom Morello paid tribute to Eddie Van Halen earlier tonight (Saturday, November 7) during the “In Memoriam” segment as part of the TV special honoring this year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees.

He had a massive impact on guitar playing and I don’t think there’s anybody who has picked up a guitar since 1978 who hasn’t been touched in some way by Eddie Van Halen‘s influence. I really miss his playing and I really miss him as a friend.” Hammett added: “Eddie Van Halen was amazing. Not since Jimi Hendrix had there be...

Precious Metal
A trip through SPIN’s 1985 archives reveals plenty of cool underground culture—deathrock, early industrial, Henry Rollins doing stuff. When it came to metal, however, coverage in ‘85 tended toward the glossy, poodle-haired end of the genre, with Mötley Crüe and Christian metallers Stryper getting the most ink. Meanwhile, down in the metal underground, seeds were being sown for something uglier and way less pious. These seeds sprouted into bands from all over the world pushing metal to new extremes and embracing over-the-top depravity, with many of them defining entire subgenres with their stylistic shifts. These five releases show some of the clearest through-lines from 1985 to the extreme metal of 2020. CELTIC FROST: To Mega-Therion CREDIT: Brigitte Engl/Redferns Switzerland’s Hellhammer ...
The Most Influential Artists: #29 Tyler, the Creator
As part of our 35th-anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #29. From Los Angeles, California, here is Tyler, the Creator. CREDIT: Monty Brinton/CBS via Getty Images Introducing himself as a shock rapper with exceptional production skills on his 2009 mixtape, Bastard, a young Tyler, the Creator took over the underground by helping build up the careers of Odd Future group mates — including Frank Ocean, Earl Sweatshirt and the Internet — as the collective’s mainstay. But once Tyler pushed into the groovy production of later records Cherry Bomb and Flower Boy, the rapper-producer showed he didn’t need to say crazy shit to sell records. He capitalized on melodies instead of fake threats to Bruno Mars’ life, putting it all on ...
Top 10 Reasons Why I Hate Mark Knopfler
You have to love New Orleans. There is always something happening, but it’s never happening in a hurry. No matter what the hour, people are always milling about; some for nefarious reasons, sure, but it’s hard to feel lonely in the Big Easy. A guy creaks by on a rusty, Frankensteined bicycle and lifts his chin in a greeting. If he lets go of the mismatched handlebars to wave, his ride might come apart. Most people who are up this early on Annunciation Street are just getting home. Like vampires, we shield our swollen eyes from the first rays of the sun and growl in protest, but while they’re settling into bed, I’m settling into this wobbly porch chair to begin the painful process of trying to bleed ink onto an empty page. With a looming deadline and a trashcan full of failure, I contemplat...
