What is there to say about British electronic duo Orbital that hasn’t already been said? The two are easily one of the most influential acts in the electronic music space.

Fieldy has been keeping busy since announcing his hiatus from Korn last year, citing personal issues that had “caused some tension with the people around me.” He’s most notably been involved in Stillwell, a project featuring Anthony “Q-Unique” Quiles on vocals and guitar and P.O.D.’s Noah “Wuv” Bernardo on drums. The act just released a new track from their
With only eight days to go until Second Sky, Porter Robinson has finally revealed the special guest replacing Fred again.., and it’s none other than Skrillex himself.

Mother Nature is clearly no fan of emo and pop-punk. Organizers of the much-anticipated When We Were Young Festival just made the announcement that they’ve unfortunately had to cancel Day One activities for today, Oct. 22, due to high winds in the Las Vegas area that have made it unsafe to go forward with an

Since Seven Lions first released his Polarize EP on Viper Recordings in 2012, fans knew there was something special about the Santa Barbara-born melodic dubstep producer. Of course, at the time, melodic dubstep wasn’t even a thing, coming to light during the heyday of brostep and the murmurings of trap in the US. By the time
Different albums represent different chapters for musicians, and some would prefer to leave the older ones in the past. Such is the case with Jonathan Davis, who’s opened up to Metal Hammer about the one Korn song he never wants to play again. “Daddy.” The song serves as the closing track on Korn’s 1994 self-titled
Much like during the pandemic when many artists were being outed for sexual assault, this week has seen many more come to light following the accusation of Mize. Yesterday, the Atlanta-based producer released a lengthy statement addressing not only the initial accusation that began this reckoning, but also responding to an old Reddit post accusing
Time flies when you’re tearing up the charts! At least that seems to be the case for some of today’s top rock and metal acts. It wasn’t that long ago that they were fresh-faced youngsters just trying to catch their big break, but now they’re kings of the rock and metal universe. And in this
Without exaggeration, Noisia are one of the best to ever do it. With two decades of experience performing and producing around the world, and providing inspiration to innumerable other producers, their absence will be painfully felt.

Let’s get one thing straight: the indie synth pop mainstay that is Jenn Vix is only new to the moden EDM aesthetic. Nearly virtuosic on the synths and bass and a post punk-style lyricist, Vix has been producing goth-edged music since 1995 and is well-recognized for her work in the larger music scene. Having worked

UUPDATE (Oct. 19, 2022): GWAR have now released a music video for “The Cutter,” featuring Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale. It’s a classic campy horror vibe with as much gore you see at an entire GWAR show and, if you look closely enough, you might recognize the faces of a few of those characters in the video…
