Having only barely caught a glimpse of Gesaffelstein at Coachella 2015, he was absolutely one to see on my bucket list. But for a while, I never thought it would happen.

Sevendust have released their first piece of post-All I See Is War music and it’s a cover.

Coachella. Lollapalooza. Outside Lands. Governors Ball. Many of the our country’s biggest and best festivals have officially cancelled this year due to COVID-19, and now Bonnaroo is following suit.

The Undertaker, perhaps the greatest WWE Superstar of all time, may be officially retired from in-ring competition. After 30 years with WWE, Taker posted a tweet of himself exiting a Wrestlemania match, saying “Thank you” to his legions of fans.
