RATING: 8.5/10 Black metal has undergone so many transformations and mutations over the last few decades that it is sometimes easy to overlook the simple thrill of bands like DARK FUNERAL. Always popular but never quite as critically lauded as some of their less direct contemporaries, the Swedes deal in big, brash and bombastic extremity that is never afraid to exert maximum heavy metal power. Consequently, nobody is going to be particularly surprised by “We Are The Apocalypse”, at least in terms of its creators’ overall approach. But DARK FUNERAL are so ridiculously good at this stuff — and Lord Ahriman is such an underrated but eerily consistent songwriter — that the fact that these songs are simply bigger and better interpretations of the same grimly brutal formula fee...

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx says that the band’s setlist for its upcoming tour will include “hits, deep tracks and some cool surprises.” CRÜE‘s long-delayed North American trek with DEF LEPPARD, POISON and JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS, which was originally planned for 2020 and later moved to 2021, will finally take place this summer. The tour, dubbed “The Stadium Tour”, will kick off on June 16 in Atlanta, Georgia and will conclude on September 9 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sixx touched upon CRÜE‘s setlist for the upcoming run in an Instagram post earlier today (Saturday, March 12). Checking in from his home in Wyoming, Nikki shared a photo of him with his two-year-old daughter — mother is Sixx‘s wife of eight years, Courtney Sixx (née Bingha...

SLIPKNOT‘s Corey Taylor makes an appearance in “Bite My Face”, the new music video from HO99O9 (pronounced “horror”). The track is taken from HO99O9‘s new album “Skin”, which is being released today (Friday, March 11). The follow-up to 2017’s “United States Of Horror” was produced entirely by BLINK-182 drummer Travis Barker and is being made available via Barker‘s DTA Records. When the duo of Yeti Bones and theOGM kicked in the doors of the music industry in 2014 with an iconically off-the-rails set at the Afropunk festival, they set a noisy new standard for industrial-grade, punk-influenced hip-hop, colliding the DMX and BONE THUGS they grew up listening to in Jersey headfirst with bands like BAD BRAINS and the NINJAS...

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE frontman Chris “Motionless” Cerulli commented on the ambitious new project, stating: “‘Cyberhex’ is my love letter to you, our fans, for everything you have done for me over the course of some of...

Canadian metal legends ANVIL will release their 19th album, “Impact Is Imminent”, on May 20 via AFM Records. On “Impact Is Imminent”, ANVIL fires off merciless riff attacks, relentlessly driving drums and impressive bass grooves, complemented by vocal melodies and lyrics that inevitably drill themselves into the listener’s aural tract. As always, guitarist/vocalist Steve “Lips” Kudlow and founding drummer Robb Reiner are at the epicenter of this heavy metal extravaganza. For the past eight years, they have been supported by bassist Chris Robertson, who not only complements the ANVIL fold on a personal level, but also enhances the tracks with his powerful low frequency bass parts and backing vocals. Today, ANVIL shared a first single alongside a mus...
