Elder have officially revealed details for their seventh studio album, ‘Through Zero’, which is scheduled to arrive May 29th through Blues Funeral Recordings, Stickman Records, and Bird’s Robe. The self-produced effort marks the latest chapter for the progressive psych rock outfit, with vocalist/guitarist Nick DiSalvo offering insight into the meaning behind the album’s title and thematic direction. “‘Through Zero’ is a term borrowed from engineering and the world of music. It describes the property of a frequency being able to pass through the zero point and continue into the negative. While it isn’t a concept rooted in philosophy, it resonates…

Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine is looking back on the rivalries, setbacks, and personal battles that helped shape both his career and one of thrash metal’s most enduring legacies. Now 64 and increasingly reflective as he approaches the later stages of his career, Mustaine has been revisiting pivotal moments from his past — including his infamous 1983 dismissal from Metallica, an event that ultimately led to the formation of Megadeth and decades of creative rivalry between the two bands. Mustaine was removed from Metallica during an early tour amid tensions surrounding substance abuse and internal conflicts. The fallout from that split…

Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares has once again shut down speculation surrounding a reunion with former members of the long-running industrial metal outfit, making it clear that the band’s classic-era lineup will not be returning.

Bell. While some fans have continued calling for a reunion online, the guitarist says that chapter of the band’s history is firmly behind him. Beyond interpersonal tensions, Fear Factory’s past has also been…
Melodic hardcore standouts Turnstile and rising British alternative metal collective Sleep Token both came up empty-handed at the 2026 ‘BRIT Awards’, held February 28th in Manchester, UK. Despite major breakthrough years for both acts throughout 2025, neither band secured a victory during this year’s ceremony. That outcome contrasts sharply with Turnstile’s success earlier this month at the GRAMMY Awards, where the Baltimore, MD outfit earned two trophies, including Best Metal Performance for “Birds” — beating nominees including Sleep Token and Ghost — as well as Best Rock Album for ‘NEVER ENOUGH’. Meanwhile, Sleep Token continued their recent streak of commercial…
