It's like baby, baby, baby? No. Justin Bieber just may be letting out a sigh of relief at the reported demise of the paternity claim against him by 20-year-old Mariah Yeater. TMZ wrote this morning that Yeater's case was quietly dismissed last week, and that the Californian's lawyers Lance Rogers and Matt Pare are no longer working for her (or, in TMZ's words, they "quit" her). News broke early last week that Justin Bieber had reportedly agreed to take a DNA test to resolve the entire matter. [...]

They hit the NYC venue with tourmates Woe , Keep of Kalessin , Abigail Williams , & Hate as part of their string of dates together . No word on if Necrobutcher's [...]

Everyone remembers Bob Larson, right? He's the evangelical radio personality that Glenn Benton used to prank phone call? Well, that dude somehow got Mayhem bassist Necrobutcher (né Jørn Stubberud) to agree to be the victim beneficiary of an exorcism on Norwegian television, and that footage is now available for your viewing pleasure. Check it out below; it [...]

photos by Tim Griffin O'Death @ The Mohawk "Outside"[ their latest album ] expands the band's Gothic-folk sound. O'Death deploys Americana elements -- banjo, violin, acoustic guitar -- to craft haunting, cinematic songs... O'Death may never top the charts but it's made a splash on the alternative and folk scenes with relentless live shows. The band's first gig after Rogers-Berry's close call was at the famed Newport Folk Festival. "We were definitely one of the more high-energy [...]

Happening tonight, tomorrow, and Friday night at Rotture and Branx, the Fall Into Darkness Fest is an annual tradition showcasing the darkest, blackest metal that the Northwest has to offer. Tonight's kickoff party at Rotture is FREE! and featuring a heavy lineup of Laudanum , Wizard Rifle , Author & Punisher , and Eight Bells . The other two nights cost, but it's worth it as the Fest moves between the adjoining venues and features the likes of Atriarch, Acid King, and Witch Mountain among others. Pound for pound the [...]

PA black metallers Woe - who are playing the official "Pre-Game" of the Metal Suckfest on November 3rd along with Mayhem, Keep of Kalessin, Hate and Abigail Williams - released Quietly, Undramatically via Candlelight Records roughly a year ago. We like this band a lot: we premiered a track from that record and Sammy O'Hagar [...]

We invited Rumpelstiltskin Grinder to play our first annual Metal Suckfest in NYC in November but unfortunately the PA criminal thrash kings had to decline because bassist/vocalist Shawn Riley had other touring commitments. Turns out those "other touring commitments" are with most excellent black metallers Woe - who are playing our official Suckfest "Pre-Game" with [...]

News Gothenburg, Sweden-based metallers AGE OF WOE will release their self-titled debut seven-inch single digitally this autumn via Pivotal Rockordings.

Forget Mark Cuban, no matter what he brings to the table financially, he can't hold a candle to the amount of money my idea will bring MLB and the Dodgers. Los Angeles has had their fun with our team for 50+ years, but it's time the Bums came home. That's right, I'm suggesting the Dodgers move back to Brooklyn. It sounds like a logistical nightmare, but teams are moved without thought these days. There's a hockey team in Phoenix, but we can't bring professional baseball ...

If you have any interest in underground metal, black or otherwise, you're aware of the uproar created by Brooklyn quartet Liturgy . Much of the disdain's focused on frontman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, and what people view as his "pretentious" reading of black metal (American and otherwise). I did the first large-scale interview with Liturgy a couple of years ago as part of my (then) Show No Mercy column: Hendrix discussed black metal in the same terms in '09, but it was a more recent Scion video Q+A , coupled with the "crossover" coverage of the band's newest [...]

Mayhem are coming back to America. The last time they were here, we sent the lovely Justina Villanueva to cover all the madness for us and it seemed like there was plenty to cover. Today, news surfaces that the band is coming back for their first North American tour in two years. The black metal ...

by BBG Mayhem at Irving Plaza ( more by Paul Birman ) After cancelling their last batch of dates , Mayhem will head back out to North America for a fall tour with support from Keep Of Kalessin , Hate , and Abigail Williams . Woe will also join on thirteen dates, though no word on which ones. The tour hits NYC at Gramercy Theater on November 3rd . Tickets info is forthcoming . [...]

Mayhem are one of black metal's most infamous and legendary bands, but it's been a hot minute since they toured North America - in fact, I believe the last time they were here, they even had a different line-up. In any case, they're returning this fall to fuck your shit up, and they're bringing Keep [...]

When Definitive Jux group Hanger 18 called it quits it was not to persue solo careers, but to leave rap entirely. Windnbreeze moved to LA and started a business with his fiance, DJ PaWL directs commercials including the award-winning "The Happiness Machine" for Coca-Cola and as of now Alaska is done writing rap lyrics. Although, Alaska carried on briefly in '09, starting a project called The Crack Epidemic with a producer named Kujo. The duo dropped the Woke Up This Morning EP as a...
