Daron Malakian of System of a Down is back with his solo project, Scars on Broadway. Addicted to Violence (Scarred For Life) marks the project’s second album without the drummer who played on the project’s first album and made it feel like a more direct extension of System of a Down. Much like the band that put these guys on the map, there is, at times, a punk feel that owes a great deal to the Dead Kennedys. Where this project finds its own identity is stepping away from some of the Hip-Hop bounce that drove Nu-Metal. This does not mean it forsakes groove; it approaches it differently, which can be heard on a song like “Satan Hussein.”Continue reading
In a better universe, Lemmy Kilmister lives. In that universe, Motorhead goes about twenty percent more Punk for their most recent album.
Because we live in our universe, we got lucky. Kicked In The Teeth gave us Watling Street Chambers (Rare Vitamin Records), which my ears tell me might as well be the same thing.

I rolled into the city of sin with my homie and bandmate in Angst, Abe Allen, for a cool quick trip to see the first night of the big Danzig tour! I was seriously hyped for this tour and glad to catch it since these dates are few and Glenn doesn’t like to tour much anymore. I was really excited to take this trip for four bands I have loved for a long time. Thanks for making this happen, Abe!Continue reading
Danzig will play a brief run of headline tour dates on the U.S. West Coast in late March 2025. Support on the trek, which will include cities Danzig has not played in many years, will come from Down, Abbath and Cro-Mags. Danzig says: “No other shows are planned for 2025.” Aside from focusing on occasional shows with The Misfits, Danzig released the long-in-the making Danzig Sings Elvis record in 2020 with limited shows to support it, and his last solo album was Black Laden Crown, in May 2017 via Evilive Records/Nuclear Blast Entertainment.

Of all the websites in the world, financial magazine and website Forbes has released a list of the top 38 metal bands of all-time. The list actually has no real surprises.

In picking their list Forbes wrote that it’s “impossible to include all metal sub-genres in this type of list, the sub-genres that are most prominent and influential across metal today were considered with priority.” They added that all 38 bands were chosen due to having “the most significant impact in the metal genre, and a number of these bands are among the genre’s most famous and revered bands.”
