Metal Blade Records graciously donated CD copies of brand new albums by Goatwhore, Cattle Decapitation and Exumer to give away in last week's Photo Caption Contest. Here's the lucky winner: Gee_zu5: "You think you're grim? I'm a lifelong Cubs fan." This week we're giving away two CD copies of Deep Cuts and Dark Clouds, the [...]
Have you guys listened to 16's new album Deep Cuts From Dark Clouds yet? If you like your metal sludgy, you best do yourself a favor and check it out right quick 'cause it's definitely gonna hit the spot. 162s new video for "Her Little Accident," which they'd previously released as a single, is as good [...]
XXYYXX is the 16-year old Marcel Everett. He is one of the hottest producers right now and people comparing him to James Blake and J Dilla. Anyway if you like the post-dubstep production of James Blake, the beats of J Dilla (of course you do) and the atmosphere of oOoOO you will love the music [...]
Yes, I know this could easily do without the cheesy introduction, but I'm feelin' good and I like to hear myself speak. So please, let me welcome you all to the very first installment of The Weekly Injection. Every Tuesday I'll be telling you who's releasing stuff, where it's coming from, what it sounds like, ...
It may seem early to mention it, but Summer is just around the corner. As the weather gets warmer, I envision days spent near a large body of water, tallboy in hand, and inches away from absurdly large speakers rocking tasty jams. You feel me! And this week's Shit That Comes Out Today adds plenty [...]

The theme of this week's STCOT is borrowed from a sign at my favorite Korean restaurant: TRY IT YOU LIKE IT! Yes, free-thinking metalheads, be not afraid of this week's exotic heavy new releases: An exciting reissue from Darkthrone comes with a commentary disc, like some black metal Shark Night 3-D blu-ray; Aeges delivers aggression [...]
Sludge, maybe more than any other genre in metal, benefits from aging. But not like a fine wine (partially because that's a huge fucking cliché) and more like a bottle-conditioned beer. Sure, it's pretty decent a little while after it's bottled, but given enough time, it'll bloom into something else altogether that leaves the original [...]
Footage has gone digital of the ADELE aged 16, singing, strumming her guitar, hanging with her friends, smoking, boozing, and being at the Brit school.
Blues-sludge purveyors 16 have a new album called Deep Cuts From Dark Clouds coming on April 24th via Relapse Records, less than two months away, so it goes without saying that the band will be releasing a few album tracks in the coming weeks to let us all know what they've got in store come the end [...]

Mau5trap vient de lâcher la plus grosse sortie de ce début d'année (et nous sommes déjà début mars), il s'agit d'un album remix de « Split The Atom « , réalisé de la même manière que l'album remix de « Black Sands » . De la démence étalée sur 13 pistes qui s'inaugure tout naturellement par « Tommy's Theme » qui a prouvé une fois de plus que le trio infernal ne s'essouffle pas. Mine de rien « Split The Atom » , sorti sur leur label [...]

In November Valve opened the Counter Strike: Global Offensive Beta to a lucky few, ranging from those who were invited due to their pro-status to those lucky enough to pick up an invite at PAX or the Eurogamer Expo. The limitations of the beta in its current form are extensive - the gameplay is restricted to the new versions to Dust and Dust_2, and the weapon selection is limited to two hand guns and a couple of assault rifles and sniper rifles. Armour is missing although all the grenade types are accessible from the start. The [...]

Click Here To Watch The Video When I was fifteen years old, I had to sneak out of my parents' house on a Friday night to go see GWAR and the Misfits play a Halloween show. Then I had to conceal my clothing from my parents, seeing as it was, y'know, soaked in blood, urine, [...]
We had a lot of fun last year doing an NHL preview with our friends at Relapse Records - so much fun, in fact, that we wanted to do it again this year! Unfortunately, we got a little distracted with some other business, and so this year's edition is a) somewhat less comprehensive than last year's, [...]
