Vince Neil leaving Mötley Crüe? Tool announce North American tour dates High On Fire recording new album GWAR cancels European tour dates

The "Top Hard Music" Chart I've been using for this column for the past couple of years is a mixed bag; on one hand, a lot of the "Top Hard Music" albums are really old albums that continue to sell (Metallica's Black Album, various greatest hits collections, catalogue albums of whatever big band happens to [...]

Last week was a big, big sales week for new metal releases, I'd imagine one of the highest cumulative tallies of the year so far. The #1 through #6 entries on the Top Hard Music charts could all be considered smashes in today's relative terms, with Dream Theater, Anthrax and others making big splashes. Arch/Matheos, [...]

Damn. After a few slow weeks of new releases, we have a ton of new stuff coming out this week, including new stuff from Anthrax, Dream Theater, Wolves in the Throne Room, Haste the Day, Vader, Primus and my personal favorite, Elks, plus many more. We have officially entered the fall new release season! Æges [...]

No Omega From: Stockholm, Sweden Lazy Equation: Dead Swans x Deftones + Cult Of Luna URLs: Facebook.com/NoOmega // NoOmega.Bandcamp.com Thrash Hits Verdict: We first heard Sweden's No Omega after one of our Facebook friends recommended them to us, and by gosh, they're one of the most scorching prospects to emerge from the crucible of Scandanavian hardcore [...]

Ah, the Warped Tour. One of the last remaining bastions of a punk-rock tour in the U.S. Even though I've never heard of most of the bands that are playing the festival this year and the tour tends to cater to a much younger crowd (i.e. 12-16 years old, it seems), Warped is still an American institution that should be attended at least once. That being said, the main acts for this, the 17th annual Warped Tour, include the following bands: 3OH!3, A Day To Remember, The Devil Wears Prada, Against Me!, August Burns Red, [...]

I see a pattern developing in 2011; the only albums selling are old ones. It's quite startling, in fact; it's already mid-February and the new release machine is kicking into high gear, but the charts are still dominated by best-of compilations and classic albums from the likes of Metallica, Van Halen, Ozzy, Aerosmith (Idol Effect), [...]

The #4 album in the country last week came from Social Distortion, yet that album failed to register on the "Top Hard Music" chart I usually cover in this column where it would've been #1 by a long shot. I mean, I know Social Distortion aren't exactly splitting eardrums anymore, but come on, Mike fucking [...]

Michigan based post-hardcore band We Came As Romans had a big year in 2009. After being signed to Equal Vision Records , they would release their debut, To Plant a Seed, in November 2009. Due to social networks and brutal touring, We Came As Romans developed a substantial following. Now working on their follow-up album, We Came As Romans released a video for the first single, "To Move on is to Grow" about 2 [...]

Alright, let's Pauline Kael these bitches. First up today is "Nowhere," by Muderdolls. As in, "We ain't goin' nowhere 'cause we had to cancel our tour ." ANYWAY, when this video started, I was like, "Oh, a chick in bed. I can get behind this concept." But then I realized it wasn't a chick, it [...]

Canadian Metal-Core fans are in for a treat this coming fall, as We Came As Romans have extended their summer tour into the fall, and are playing a string of 15 dates across the country. They are going to be accompanied by Upon A Burning Body and In Fear...

Alright my little hard-core/screamo fans flat iron those bangs across your face, put in your lip ring, tell your mom your going out and stretch your neck because tonight is going to be filled with head thrashing and mosh pits at Studio Seven. I'm not saying this is a little out of my personal comfort level but off the reservation for my personal taste but for those who are fans are pretty stocked about the line-up for the "Welcome to the Circus" tour headlined by Asking Alexandria. If by some super weird mix-up with the search engine, you are reading [...]

Troy Michigan post hardcore geniuses We Came as Romans are in an enviable spot. On the strength of their incredible self released 2008 Dreams EP , WCR signed with Albany's Equal Vision Records and have now released an immediate album of the year candidate with To Plant A Seed. An at once harsh and poetic offering that takes the bands electronically tinged post hardcore to the next level, which is referenced by the album debuting in the number 2 spot on Billboards New Alternative chart, number 6 on the Heatseekers chart and number 175 on [...]
