HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Jonathan Olley™ & © DC Comics / The Batman The reviews are, and the critics and folks who had the opportunity to see The Batman are calling it a hit. Move over Christopher Nolan. It looks like The Dark Knight Trilogy will have some company at the top with the arrival of Matt Reeves’ 3-hour epic, The Batman.

Editor’s Note: The list contained in this article will be updated as more events are announced. Veteran screenwriter Mitch Glazer hit the nail on the head when he called Miami a “storytelling engine.” But in the throes of a relentless pandemic, the only stories coming out of the city were ones of the horror variety.

TESTAMENT Rejoined By Drummer DAVE LOMBARDO
San Francisco Bay Area metallers TESTAMENT have announced the return of drummer Dave Lombardo to the group’s ranks. An original member of thrash metal legends SLAYER, Lombardo was the guest drummer on TESTAMENT‘s 1999 studio album “The Gathering”, which also marked the first time the band worked with then-up-and-coming British producer/engineer Andy Sneap. “The Gathering” was widely considered to be an improvement over 1997’s “Demonic”, an album that saw singer Chuck Billy employ a more guttural style of vocals and was released at a time when thrash acts as TESTAMENT had fallen out of favor. Billy comments: “I’ll state the obvious, We are more than overwhelmed to welcome back Dave Lombardo to play drums with TESTAMENT. We ar...
Original VENOM Guitarist MANTAS Wants Band’s Classic Lineup To Reunite For ‘Black Metal’ 40th-Anniversary Celebration
Former VENOM and current VENOM INC. guitarist Jeff “Mantas” Dunn says that he would love to reunite the classic VENOM lineup to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band’s “Black Metal” album. Released in 1982, “Black Metal” is considered a major influence on thrash metal and extreme metal in general. VENOM‘s second album proved influential enough that its title was used as the name of the extreme metal subgenre of black metal. The band classic lineup trio of Dunn, vocalist/bassist Conrad “Cronos” Lant and drummer Anthony “Abaddon” Bray recorded two further studio LPs, “At War With Satan” (1984) and “Possessed” (1985), and live album, “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” (1986).

KORN’s RAY LUZIER: Why I Moved From Los Angeles To Nashville
In a new interview with the “Drum Candy” podcast, KORN drummer Ray Luzier explained his decision to relocate his family to Franklin, Tennessee nearly a decade ago. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I moved [to the Nashville area] — June, it’ll be eight years here, which is nuts, ’cause I’m still in a band based in Bakersfield, California. I always joke with people, ‘I have a two-thousand-mile commute to work.’ “When Head [KORN guitarist Brian Welch] rejoined the band in 2013, I said to him first thing, ’cause he lived out here [in Nashville], and I said, ‘When are you gonna move back to Cali?’ And he said, ‘I’ll never live in L.A.’ And I said, ‘How are you gonna be in the band?̵...
