There’s been a shakeup in the metal world over the past week and it involves a couple of veteran metal bands. Earlier this week, drummer Waltteri Väyrynen exited his longtime spot behind the kit in Paradise Lost, but he was only without a job publicly for a couple of days as Opeth have just announced

There’s an interesting type of song that I wish would be discussed more. It doesn’t have an official genre but I lovingly refer to it as “the soundtrack of the soul” type song. You know that feeling when you’re driving in your car and a song comes on that’s too perfect for what you’re feeling?

Making a special live appearance, Ozzy Osbourne performed at halftime of the first game of the NFL season featuring the Buffalo Bills vs. the defending Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams.

New York City’s Premiere electronic music festival Electric Zoo just wrapped up this past Labor Day weekend. The 3-day zoo themed festival went off without a hitch.

Today (Sept. 8, 2022) marks a very special occasion, one that Wolfgang Van Halen didn’t want to pass without acknowledging it.

Plus, some genres – such as punk and hip-hop – are intrinsically political. Rock and metal are no

Everyone starts as a new artist at some point, and while it may seem like Shinedown have ruled active rock radio for an eternity now, they very much had lessons to learn early on. In a new interview with Ryan Castle for the Audacy Check In, Shinedown’s Brent Smith says that it was 3 Doors

Unless you’ve been living under a rock this past weekend, you’ve seen or heard “Cbat” by Hudson Mohawke popping up again after 11 years.

The bass guitar is on the Mount Rushmore of instruments for rock and metal bands, but that dosen’t mean a band always has a bassist in the group. There are some bands out there, even a couple legendary ones, that prove that you don’t have to have one of the four staple tools (guitar, bass, drum, keys)
