The Vans Warped Tour is often romanticized as the ultimate rite of passage for emo, pop-punk, and metalcore acts. But for The Pretty Reckless frontwoman Taylor Momsen, memories of the 2010 circuit feel less like a career milestone and more like a “very gross band summer camp.” In a recent appearance on the Zach Sang Show, the platinum-selling rocker didn’t hold back, detailing the grime and “mayhem” that defined her first major touring experience. “A Rolling Party With No Rules” While many veterans of the tour credit the grueling schedule with building character, Momsen found the chaotic environment more frustrating…

After a year of shifting gears and locking in a new identity, British alt-metal outfit Love Is Noise have confirmed they’ll be heading into the studio in early 2026 to record their next full-length. The new record serves as the successor to this past February’s To live in a different way. If the timeline holds, expect the album to drop via Century Media sometime in the back half of 2026. The band has been riding a massive wave of momentum following a high-profile UK/European tour supporting Loathe. This upcoming studio session will be the first proper test for the band’s…
Flint, Michigan’s most polarizing exports, King 810, are finally taking the top bill down under. Following a successful run supporting In Hearts Wake in 2024, the band has confirmed they will return in March 2026 for their first-ever Australian headlining tour.

It wasn’t long ago that Sully Erna was adamant: Godsmack was done making new music. The 2023 release Lighting Up The Sky was billed as the final chapter, a “legacy” bow meant to transition the band into a permanent greatest-hits act. But as 2025 draws to a close, that finality is starting to look like a cliffhanger. The “End of an Era” Reconsidered Back in 2022, Erna told the world that the band had “put every single ounce of energy” into their eighth album, signaling that the grind of the studio was over. He argued that with 25+ years of…
Imagine showing up for “Redneck” and getting a sermon on the Advent. That was the reality for some confused metalheads in South Carolina this past weekend. Due to a massive listing error on StubHub, a Christian folk concert was mistakenly advertised as a performance by Richmond’s groove metal kings, Lamb of God. The Christmas “Behold” Blunder The confusion stemmed from a December 20th event at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. The venue was hosting Andrew Peterson’s long-running holiday tour, “Behold the Lamb of God,” which is based on his 2004 conceptual album about the birth of Christ. Despite the event being…

Chaos in New York: The Exodus Explained The drama reached a boiling point during the band’s recent North American trek. Tensions reportedly exploded in New York, leading the rest of the band to drive the tour vehicle back to Oregon, purposefully leaving Rasmussen, his partner, and their dog behind at a gas station.

Danish progressive metal stalwarts VOLA have suffered a near-total loss of their touring infrastructure and musical equipment following a massive fire at a Copenhagen storage facility. A Total Loss of Infrastructure According to the group, the fire claimed more than just instruments. The lost inventory includes the band’s entire touring backbone: custom-built rigs, monitoring systems, recording gear, and a significant portion of their physical merchandise and vinyl archive.

Ghost have added another major milestone to their catalog, as the band’s breakout single ‘Mary On A Cross’ has officially been certified Platinum in the United Kingdom. Originally released in 2019 on the band’s EP Seven Inches Of Satanic Panic, the song was presented as part of the Swedish occult rock outfit’s fictional 1960s-era canon. At the time, the track arrived with little fanfare and modest attention. That changed dramatically years later when a fan-altered version — slowed down and drenched in reverb — exploded on TikTok, sending the song viral and introducing it to an entirely new audience. The…
