Rather than just write a book in narrative style, Jon and Katherine have culled interviews with nearly 400 musicians from the metal genre

Townsquare Media — Tue, 28 May 2013 23:10:05 +0000

Alice in Chains have had a rough ride since their hay day in the early Nineties. They released an album in 1995 and soon after went on an indefinite hiatus. In 2002, their lead vocalist, Layne Staley died of a drug overdose and it took until 2006 for the band to recover and find a satisfactory replacement in William DuVall.

New Pop Evil Video for "Trenches"

Sandman — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:00:09 +0000

I can say that I have had the pleasure of having Pop Evil in the studio numerous times since they first started touring in 2008. In fact, I met them when I was doing the grand opening remote of the Guitar Center in Evansville, and Pop Evil was playing cover songs under a tent in the parking lot

Spitting Bleach With Chronicles of Submission Vocalist Don Corn [Interview]

Mike Adams — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:32:13 +0000

There is no denying that the world of heavy music has made some significant changes over the past twenty years, most of which have been detrimental to the “sell your soul” philosophies of our downtuned forefathers, while the legends that remain keepers of the roundtable have their hearts eaten out everyday by the same rotten industry that they undoubtedly created.

New Sevendust Video for "Decay"

Sandman — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 14:22:43 +0000

Sevendust, a band out of the Atlanta area are the frontrunners of the rock formula of very rough style vocals on the verse parts of the song, which later explode into a melodious chorus. It's my belief that they have influenced many bands in rock since Sevendust first hit the scene in 1994, while releasing the debut album in 1997

Sandman — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 15:34:23 +0000

As most rockers around the tri-state know, Jeremy Spencer, drummer for Five Finger Death Punch is from our area…Boonville to be exact. I can’t believe that town hasn’t erected a statue of him in the twon square as he is perhaps the most famous person of any profession to come from Boonvegas. Jeremy now lives [...]

The Dropkick Murphys New Song Hits Home For the Holidays [video]

chynna — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 20:49:55 +0000

Finally! An honest Christmas song!

Sure, we all enjoy the holiday classics about roasting chestnuts, jingling bells, and grandma getting run over by a reindeer (she's been getting run over since 1979, you'd think someone would have called for help by now...but I digress). But what I've been waiting for is an honest Christmas song. A song that tells you what Christmas time is really about: Getting together with your crazy-a** family.
