Sometimes, shit happens and tours have to change, leaving some fans excited for the run of tour dates without their favorite bang on the bill. Such is what happened to Goatwhore fans out the Europe, as we now know that band isn’t going to be joining Testament, Obituary, and fellow supporting act Destruction when that tour kicks off this October. There’s not much information as to why Goatwhore had to pull out of the tour, so we’ll wait for an official statement before opining what the reason was.

One week after hanging it up at the ‘Back to the Beginning’ show in Birmingham next month, Ozzy and his family is planning to attend this year’s Comic Con Midlands at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre (NEC) as special guests. The Osbournes are no strangers to attending Comic Cons, as they’ve been listed as special guests in the past. During those appearances, fans could pay money to meet Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne, get some shit signed, and take a photo.

Having spent last year celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s first album Calculating Infinity, The Dillinger Escape Plan has been on the road a lot lately. Bolstered by the band’s reunion with co-founding member and original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis, they’ve managed to play to crowds of all ages and connected with fans new and old.

Over the weekend, soccer (or football as the rest of the world calls it) fans were treated to a Linkin Park concert ahead of this past Saturday’s UEFA Champions League finals in Munich, Germany. It was supposed to be a moment of excitement and I guess triumph for the insanely influential soccer league, but some folks weren’t too thrilled with the arrangement.

Every summer, players arrive and depart Celtic. Some moves the fans are happy with, others they are not. But it is an important part of the game. In …

In the halls of black metal, there are few bands more iconic and influential than Emperor. Fronted by Ihsahn since its inception, the band has been largely dormant up until a couple years ago when they hit the road for the first time in 15 years. Hell, they haven’t released a new album since 2001 — but is there really a world where that changes and we get something new?

Pro wrestling. Early 2000s nu metal. It’s a perfect combination that really doesn’t need introduction. So what happens when you take the no-holds-barred, fight everywhere and anywhere style of AEW’s ‘Anarchy In The Arena’ match and combine it with Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” playing on loop at least half a dozen times? You get cinema, ladies and gentlemen. Pure, unadulterated cinema. Last night was AEW’s annual sort of birthday celebration, Double Or Nothing.

We’re no fans of the growing proliferation of A.I. around these parts. They devalue the actual work that real, honest-to-goodness artists put in to hone their craft and create genuinely human feeling art. Thankfully, a lot of you guys feel the same way. So when a big band like Ice Nine Kills uses A.I. to promote a sale, they got an earful of pushback over the weekend. The violating imagery in question was to promote a Memorial Day sale going on at the band’s merch page.

Another update to the weekly MetalSucks playlist adds a fuckton of new music. It’s exciting, especially with the addition of new Blackbraid and Electric Callboy — the latter of which is a particularly surprising deviation from what we’d come to expect from them. It’s a holiday weekend here in the States, so I don’t really want to belabor the point here. I’d rather log off of the computer for the next couple days, but you metal loving piggies need your sustenance in the form of more tunes.

In a move that plenty of people probably guessed ahead of its announcement, the organizers behind this year’s Furnace Fest revealed that The Dillinger Escape Plan was the mystery band slated to perform on the festival’s final day. As usual, this year’s Furnace Fest will take over the Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, Alabama from October 3 to 5.
