There weren't any major heavy hitters with new albums last week, but there were plenty of great, new releases from mid-level and smaller bands including Torche, Prong, Anathema, Paradise Lost, Cancer Bats, Unleashed and Disfiguring the Goddess, all of which broke the Top 100 of the Current Hard Music chart. Those numbers, plus more: 8 [...]
If there's one subgenre of metal that has way too many bands to claim, it's probably metalcore. Nowadays, you really have to be cutting edge, or do the subgenre real justice in order to get real notoriety and fame. If you've been out as long as War Of Ages, you probably do stand out from ...
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, ...

Here's another touring Summer festival to wet your whistle: the Scream The Prayer tour. Something tells me there could be a common thread tying all these bands together and his initials may be J.C. The bands announced for the bill are Norma Jean, Sleeping Giant, The Chariot, War Of Ages, Close Your Eyes, Texas In ...
Christian metalcore act War of Ages has announced that they have reached a deal with Facedown Records. The band commented on the signing by saying: "We are honored and excited to continue our career with Facedown records! In 2005 Facedown looked to the north western tip of PA to find 5 passionate guys who loved to play music with a purpose. We p... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
Click Here To Watch The Video Times of Grace, the new act featuring former Killswitch Engage bandmates Jesse Leach and Adam D., have announced they will hit the road in February. While they haven't formally announced who else would be in their touring band, Leach has stated they have "a solid group of musicians on ...
Well, I didn't see this coming: Times of Grace, a.k.a. the Alive or Just Breathing-era Killswitch almost-reunion, are gonna do a tour. And I'm not being facetious when I say I didn't see it coming - I sincerely didn't think they'd tour, 'cause both Adam D. and Jesse Leach have, like, a gabillion other commitments. [...]
This cold weather is really depressing me. What's more depressing is it's only October. I can only imagine how terrible it will get in December. Thankfully, Winds of Plague is looking to keep me warm and active (in the mosh pit, natch) as they announced a new headlining tour for late November/early December. They will ...
Here we had this entire week devoted to hair metal, and I feel like we only scratched the surface. Let's do this again real soon, okay? Here's some of the fun we had this week, be it hair-metal related or not: Cynic's Paul Masvidal taught us to be mind-less, Antagonist's Carlos Garcia taught us about the song [...]
I was pretty skeptical when I first saw the Cool Tour lineup. Actually, I was more than skeptical: I was pretty much positive that I wasn't going to attend. It seemed to break down as 50% Christian screamo, 25% hardcore, and 25% good bands, which meant that there would be a lot of obnoxious hardcore, [...]
I know that it's always a struggle for music video directors to come up with ways of keeping these clips from like the same ol' same ol', especially in this day and age, when the budgets for these videos are continually dwindling. In the case of Drew Russ, who helmed the new video for War [...]
The next (big?) summer tour package has been announced! While it's nowhere near as extreme as this year's Summer Slaughter tour bill, the "Cool Tour" has a pretty solid lineup of bands including AS I LAY DYING, UNDEROATH, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, THE ACACIA STRAIN, BLESSTHEFALL, ARCHITECTS, CANCER BATS and WAR OF AGES. Here ...
When we announced the Summer Slaughter 2010 line-up last week, Vince wrote the following: "Summer Slaughter is by far the best metal tour of Summer 2010. Rockstar Mayhem is lame, Ozzsharonfest is surely gonna be lame, and 'The Cool Tour' is, uh, not cool at all save a couple of bands." At least one reader asked, "What [...]
An okay week for releases, guys! Not amazing, but pretty good enough. For the metal fans, Bleeding Through is back with a new one, as is War of Ages . For fans of a whiny, pop-punk version of Rush, we've got Coheed and Cambria 's new album for you. For those that like actual punk, Subhumans has something for you. Freelance Whales and MGMT have new ones, for the hipsters among us. And, for the classically minded, The Philip Glass Ensemble and Jóhann Jóhannsson [...]
Rotting Christ - Aealo Release date: March 9, 2010 [ amazon.com ] This bears a slight resemblance to the forthcoming War of Ages album. My money is on the War of Ages cover because roaring lions eat human skulls, in the rock-paper-scissors fight of graphic design.
War Of Ages sings the following genre(s): Metalcore More videos from War Of Ages : WAR OF AGES: Through The Flames thumbnail: http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/yy18aq9 aLWA/default.jpg
"10 for $10 Hardcore Summer Tour" is a great name for a tour, as well as a terrific deal. The lineup features Poison the Well as well as Madball, Bane, Vision Of Disorder, Terror, Death Before Dishonor, War Of Ages, Crime In Stereo, Trapped Under Ice, The Mongoloids, The Ghost Inside, This Is Hell, and Vision. Really, I counted and that sounds like 12, which technically just sweetens the deal. Full US tour dates for Poison the Well below, and don't forget their new album, The Tropic Rot , is out July 7 on Ferret Music. [...]
:: Chinese Democracy has officially sold over 500,000 units . Scary. :: Pale Young Gentlemen recently covered M.I.A.'s Paper Planes . The recreation of the sound effects is interesting, but I'll take the real-life gunshots and cash register any day. I like to imagine that the engineer was holding a boom mic over M.I.A. while she was robbing a hot dog stand. :: So Brian Eno doesn't like Jews , or something along those lines. Good for him. I kid, I [...]
