The other names announced today are Steel Panther, As I Lay Dying, Kyuss Lives! (whom we've had more than a little to say about in the past , and from more than one point of [...]

It's that time of year again! The time where we announce the lineup for the biggest festival of the summer, Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest. This year's lineup is ridiculous, so let's get to it. The main stage will feature Slipknot's return to the United States for their first tour since the passing off Paul Gray. ...
When your drum set consists of two bottles of motor oil, some kind of old shelving component, a couple of blankets and a wicker hat as a drum throne and you STILL manage to kill it, that's the very definition of metal. And when you're all of maybe 8 years old and you're playing as [...]
Earlier this week, rumors began to circulate about the line-up for the 2012 edition of Summer Slaughter, and if they're even kinda-sorta true, the package tour may have put together its best bill ever. Now, The PRP is reporting unconfirmed rumors about the line-up for the 2012 edition of Mayhem Fest, and it sounds like [...]
As I Lay Dying might be one of the more well-known Christian metalcore outfits, but they didn't get hung up on their love of that pesky Jesus fellow when we subjected them to our seasonal interrogation. Nick Hipa made sure to remind us of the importance of dead pop stars, small fluffy dogs, and alien invasions [...]
How's this for shitty timing? Just as Sylosis were poised to begin their first-ever U.S. tour, supporting As I Lay Dying, guitarist Alex Bailey breaks his wrist and will be forced to sit the whole tour out. We haven't been able to determine how, exactly, Bailey broke his wrist - we're being told he fell [...]
Austrian Death Machine Jingle All The Way Metal Blade 19 December 2011 by Hugh Platt Now is probably not the time to apply serious, intellectual rigour to the task of evaluating the new, Christmas-themed EP from Austrian Death Machine, the Schwarzenegger-obsessed side-project of As I Lay Dying's Tim Lambesis. Nor is it the time to point [...]
As I Lay Dying have released a new, P.R. Brown-directed video for their cover of Judas Priest's "Electric Eye," and while the special effects are undeniably cheesy, I still enjoyed the clip quite a bit. Why? 'Cause it takes place in a world where, following the breakdown of their van, a road-crew-free AILD opt to carry [...]
Today, two very disperate Christian metal acts announced Christmas releases: Austrian Death Machine, the Arnold Schwarzenegger-th emed side project of As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis, will release Jingle All the Way, an ode to the Ahnuld flick of the same title, while Becoming the Archetype will release a cover of "O Holy Night" as a single. Both [...]
Of course they are. In a move that was made in marketing heaven, Austrian Death Machine, the goofy but thrashy side project from As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis featuring an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator on vocals have announced plans to release a holiday single. The title of the single? "Jingle All The Way" of ...
It was a week of polar opposites: on one hand, butt rock ruled as Disturbed nabbed the #1 spot on the Current Hard Music charts with Five Finger Death Punch and Evanescence firmly entrenched in second and third place. On the other hand Animals as Leaders scored a big debut, a big victory in the [...]

In January of this year I selected Sylosis' Edge of the Earth as my choice for the album that would fuck your collective faces off in 2011. And I was right! In case you somehow missed all the ranting and raving I've already done about Sylosis this year, I present you with Edge of the [...]
