There’s nothing better for a failing political system and a crumbling state of the world than punk rock—which is exactly what the Vans Warped Tour is serving up this summer.
Wage War stopped by the idobi studio in LA to talk about their debut album, Blueprints (available for download now on iTunes)! Check out the band on tour with August Burns Red, Every Time I Die, and Stick To Your Guns! Keep up with Wage War: Facebook.com/WageWarOfficial Twitter.com/WageWar
The Agonist steps their way from third to first in three weeks, a feat no other band has achieved in approximately six months of publishing a playlist. Eye Of Providence marks the debut of Vicky Psarakis who joined The Agonist after Alissa White-Gluz replaced Angela Gossow in Arch Enemy. The moral of this story? These bands fill a niche within a niche genre. It would seem sexist if not for the lack of metal bands who have replaced male singers with women (Arch Enemy is one). We know Howl’s audience is young enough that the bulk of Blind Guardian’s music… Read more »
We try to keep our featured tracks as hype-free as possible. Our playlist should reflect the very best (and ideally, newest) metal and hardcore out there right now.

More of what we’re talking about in the video for “Born“.

We hope two mentions in one review will keep us safe from that gentleman. Ensiferum, 36 Crazyfists and Dr. Living Dead! debut both on Howl and among our features. If you think you know what Dr. Living Dead! sounds… Read more »
Most metal bands release singles one or two weeks before the album but Theories dropped “Cycle Of Decay” three months before Regression, their Metal Blade debut due March 24th. It is easily worth 90 days of hype. The Seattle grindcore act appropriately takes the lead from Napalm Death, whose video for “Smash A Single Digit” was released this week featuring a truly sketched out Barney Greenway. Stick To Your Guns, Venom, Cancer Bats, The Crown and Rise Of The Northstar also brought new music to Howl’s Featured Playlist this week. Night Demon, Feed Her To The Sharks and Cruel Hand… Read more »
