Heavy Metal music fans are well-known for being some of the most passionate and devout fandoms on the planet. Just ask any metal band or artist and they will inevitably say that it's the fans who keep them going, making all of the difficulties and struggles of being a road-weary artist worthwhile. So now, in the spirit of the Giving Season, Christmas, some of the metal world's most renowned vocalists, shredders, and virtuosos are repaying their fans with not one but two volumes of Holiday-themed metal albums that are sure to have the whole family raising the horns and rocking around the Christmas tree!
Perhaps no Christmas song is as inescapable during the holidays as Mariah Carey's retro pop classic "All I Want For Christmas Is You" but rarely is the question asked, what if that song ROCKED? Well, the former Guns N' Roses axeman Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal along with Kings Of Thrash bassist David Ellfson and perhaps the only vocalist on the planet who could go toe-to-toe with Carey, ex-Judas Priest vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens, have the answer. Together, this triumvirate turn in a spine-tingling, superbly epic version of this holiday favorite that deserves to be overplayed this year and every year - just like the original! (continue)

On February 1, 2024 Los Angeles-based rock duo Deap Vally will release a re-recorded version of the band's debut LP and final release, entitled SISTRIONIX 2.0, on the band's own Deap Vally Records. The double LP will include demos, previously unreleased covers, re-recordings of limited release b-sides & rarities, and more.
Today Deap Vally is excited to share their cover of The Rolling Stones' "Ventilator Blues" along with its accompanying lyric video which was conceived and edited by the band's Julie Edwards and filmed by Anthony Ferrara and Dan Clarke over a 12 year period. The track is on all streaming platforms now for any playlist shares. "Ventilator Blues" is the latest track to be released from SISTRIONIX 2.0 and follows "Baby I Call Hell" (Deap Vally's Version) which was released earlier this year.

Foreign Hands share new single "Conditioned for a Head-On Collision," out through SharpTone Records. Produced by Will Putney, the song takes the band's metalcore roots and combines them with post-hardcore influences into a dynamic and crushing three minutes.

Eighty Six Seas just released a new song called "Lonely Afternoon" that was inspired by the Stewart-Gardner museum heist. To celebrate we asked Nick Stevens to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
Lonely Afternoon is more or less a riff on the first thirty minutes of The Thomas Crown Affair (the Pierce Brosnan version). The whole concept around the Scenes from an Art Heist album is a meditation on why someone steals art, and the idea of a bored businessman just stealing art for kicks seemed to fit right in. I had this idea of a narrator who sees the world passing him by as he isolates himself further and further. Stealing a painting is his way of injecting himself back into the world, albeit as a villain. (continue)
