Slipknot are once again dealing out the mystery with the release of a discomforting new instrumental track “Death March”. And the video is creepy as it gets.
FEVER 333 are right back at it again with a fierce new line-up, a new label and a punishing new track in the form of “$WING”.

These shows are guaranteed to be massive and I love the lineup for it. I feel like if you like one band, you like all of them and now with Slipknot back, it makes sense for them to tour with bands like ADTR and UO. Especially since they are massive fans (like us) of Slipknot; I remember years ago Underoath actually dressed on stage as Slipknot during one of their… Read more »

Los Angeles – Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst is suing 10 Web site operators who the rocker claims profited from posting an explicit video stolen from his home computer showing him having sex with a former girlfriend. The lawsuit, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, seeks more than $70 million in damages and any profits reaped by the Web site operators in recent weeks, when the 3-minute clip began appearing on the Internet. In the complaint, Durst contends that the video, which he shot in 2003, was never meant for public viewing. By disseminating the clip,… Read more »
New York – On the day nominations for the music industry’s highest honors were announced, nobody could find Killswitch Engage. Most of the members were asleep after headlining a concert the night before, pumping out ear-shattering music and screeching lyrics for a tiny audience. At least it was tiny compared with audiences for previous metal Grammy nominees, like Metallica and Black Sabbath. “Everyone’s mouth was pretty much wide open” after the Grammy nods, lead singer Howard Jones recently told The Associated Press. “Everyone was like, ‘Did this really just happen. What sort of bizarro world is this?’” It’s the kind… Read more »

Nickelback’s record label has released a statement explaining why it wouldn’t let Chad Kroeger appear on the new Santana single, even though he’s on Santana’s album. Kroeger wrote and sang on “Why Don’t You & I” for Santana’s Shaman, which appeared on Arista Records. But when it came time to release the song as a single, Roadrunner Records nixed Kroeger’s participation, and Santana-at Kroeger’s recommendation-replaced him with Alex Band from the group the Calling. In its statement, Roadrunner said, “The agreement between Arista and Roadrunner was for Chad Kroeger to perform on the Santana album Shaman. There was no intention… Read more »
The Murderdolls, featuring Slipknot’s Joey Jordison and Static X’s Tripp Eisen, will preview songs from their upcoming album, Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls, with a series of shows in late July and early August. The group has 10 shows on the itinerary beginning July 30 in San Diego. Most of the destinations are in the western U.S. Muderdolls vocalist Wednesday 13 compares the live show to “the final scene from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, where it’s just complete chaos-people screaming, chainsaws running down the road, people getting hit by trucks.” The band cites a horror-flick inspiration for the album as… Read more »
