Man oh man, the movie industry is IN LOVE with The West Memphis Three. Just to review, we already have Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory, the latest West Memphis Three documentary from directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky; West of Memphis, ANOTHER documentary on the trio, produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings), who also helped fund the [...]

Anxiety, the debut release from Italian experimental death metal band Acheode, recently caught my attention while listening to a ton of January releases for my next Bleeders' Digest column. Not only can they get all tweedly-dee on your asses, but they also know how to write killer songs with actual grooves. So, I decided to [...]

An extremely welcome surprise in 2011 was Reports From The Threshold Of Death, a throbbing, gauzy dream-rock record from Boston's Junius (read here). One shitty major magazine described Reports as the intersection of Neurosis and The Smiths, but a sharper listen reveals Deftones-sized hooks and melancholic majesty more akin to Loveless by My Bloody Valentine and [...]

This video from Neo-Nu-Metallers Re-Birth comes to us from MS reader Fuzzy Dunlop. Before you go any further you should visit their lulzy made-in-2001 website and make you read the history section to get acquainted with the inner workings of this stellar band! It is also important that you understand that this band has a DJ, and [...]

Tomorrow the Metallica of filmmakers, George Lucas, will re-release his catastrophically bad Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 3D, I guess because there's nothing like sitting through a terrible two-and-a-half hour movie in the worst format available. The silver lining, though, is that someone has taken the trailer and re-done it with death metal [...]

Like I told y'all yesterday I'm way too obsessed with Storage Wars and Orangutan Island to bother with really anything else on TV, even metal-related stuff that my friends at Metal Injection say is excellent. They're not the only ones to tell me that VH1 Classic's Metal Evolution series is absolutely great, though, so just chalk [...]

The bad news is that the first music video by Australian deathcore youngins Endworld - dubbed by Sergeant D as "the shitty version of Defiler," a statement so loaded I can't even begin to process it - has been "Removed by the User" since we wrote about it in September. But fear not, because the [...]

Does anyone else find it hilarious that ex-Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz is going around releasing press copy that trumpets his new band Red Lamb (I'm still calling them DeuxMonkey) as being "Palm Beach, Florida-based"? I know Spitz lives there now, but when I think of Palm Beach I think of octagenarian synchronized exercise classes in [...]

... let an old woman design your band's logo, fall in love with her, take a sexy bath with her, and then you'll be big, rich mega-rock studs just like The Dillinger Escape Plan! At least that's the best I can come up with after watching DEP's new video for "Parasitic Twins," the creepy, David [...]

With all due respect to Mark Hunter - a talented vocalist, extraordinary Tweeter, and Chimaira's lone original member - this footage of three new[ish] members of Chimaira rehearsing together is about as exciting as this story's headline makes it sound. While some would say this is "rehearsal" footage, it'd probably be a lot more accurate [...]

Justin Hawkins from The Darkness turned up in a Super Bowl ad for one of those not-an-iPhones last night, which I guess means that The Darkness really are back, which I guess means fuck my life. Although if using an imitator of a superior artist to sell an imitator of a superior product was some [...]

The Haunted's rEVOLVEr came out in October of 2004, and the band has released two more albums since then. So, of course, it makes perfect sense that they just released a video for the rEVOLVEr track, "99." And while some fans are suggesting that the band did this to remind all the haters of their mostly-loathed Unseen* about happier [...]

As someone who does not give the slightest of craps about sports, I still used to watch the Superbowl every year, for the same reasons everyone watches the Superbowl every year: you go to a big party, get drunk, and see some cool commercials. But now I don't even bother with that anymore; I can [...]

Here are two interesting bits of news outta Hollywood that you, as fans of heavy music, might find interesting: Dave Grohl is an executive producer on an in-development new half-hour comedy series for the FX network. The show, which is not currently titled, was created by, and will star, the comedia Dana Gould. According to [...]

I'm going to put about as much effort into this introduction as Dragonforce put into their new album art. We begin today with "Short Commute, Live Forever," from Caustic Casanova. They're not really a metal band at all, but the video was directed and animated by Wesley Belak-Berger, the same dude who made Big Business' [...]

Tour blogs are generally boring affairs, but this new video tour blog from Death Angel is a must-watch. In case you didn't know: not only is Gene Hoglan filling in for Charlie Benante on the current Anthrax/Testament/Death Angel tour, but right before Benante was forced to leave the tour, Scott Ian was hospitalized due to [...]

Obey the Brave, the new project featuring former Despised Icon vocalist Alex Erian and ex-Blind Witness guitarist Jon Campbell, have released their first music video, for a song called "Live and Learn," and I find that kinda silly, since we haven't even been able to stream one single entire song by the band anywhere yet. Maybe OtB [...]

Yesterday I received a press release about how The Darkness were about to release a new song, leading me to wonder via my Twitter account (and, consequently, my Facebook page - the two are linked! Isn't technology glorious?) "The Darkness are still a thing?" This led to several interesting interactions with readers/followers, including what defines [...]

One of the albums I most agonized over not being able to squeeze onto my year end list in 2011 was Landmine Marathon's Gallows, a truly brutal piece of work that may very well be the death-grind quintet's best yet. And the fact that the release didn't end up on the list was really one of [...]

Following in Slash's footsteps, Corey Taylor and Clown from Slipknot have now launched their own film production company, Living Breathing Films. And they apparently made the below short, Thy Shalt I, to show at the company's launch party. Now, one might reasonably assume that a short film produced specifically to be shown at a launch [...]
