The recent “indefinite suspension” of Jimmy Kimmel Live! following remarks about the current administration in the United States marks a troubling moment for the rock and metal community. While opinions may vary on Kimmel’s comedic style or political commentary, the reality is that the show has long served as a rare mainstream platform for alternative music, along with late night shows similar to it. With Kimmel off the air, one fewer stage exists for rock and metal acts to reach a national audience—a crucial avenue for growth and exposure. In the past year alone, Kimmel’s stage hosted Knocked Loose alongside…
Gold-certified metalcore stalwarts Of Mice & Men have shared a new music video for “Troubled Water”, the third single from their upcoming ninth studio album, Another Miracle. The video, directed by Mike Matsui, debuted today, September 18th. The band offered insight into the track: “‘Troubled Water‘ is about setting boundaries, about vampiric and apathetic relationships with people who only seem to seek connection when it benefits them, and about how maintaining a dying, one-sided connection just leads to resentment. It definitely takes us in a darker, more menacing direction sonically and visually. Heavy headbangable riffs paired with pure sci-fi nightmare…
Chevelle drummer Sam Loeffler recently reflected on the band’s turbulent experience during the 2003 Ozzfest tour, revealing how a scheduling decision nearly derailed their main stage slot. Speaking with 107.7 The Bone, Loeffler recounted how the band’s choice to play four sold-out Foo Fighters shows before Ozzfest led to an unexpected fallout with Sharon Osbourne, who oversaw the festival. Loeffler explained: “We were confirmed to do Ozzfest the second time, to do the main stage. It was us, Manson, Disturbed, Korn and Ozzy. I think that was what it was. We had to go to Europe to do some shows…
Melodic death metal supergroup The Halo Effect have unveiled their rendition of W.A.S.P.‘s 1984 classic “I Wanna Be Somebody”. The track will appear on their upcoming covers EP, We Are Shadows, set for release via Nuclear Blast on November 21st in vinyl and digital formats. Each cover on the EP was handpicked by a different band member. Guitarist Jesper Strömblad chose this song and shared his thoughts: “W.A.S.P.’s aggressive sound and eccentric stage presence has always been fun. The shock of songs like ‘I Fuck Like a Beast’ and fun anthems like ‘I Wanna Be Somebody,’ and ‘L.O.V.E. Machine,’ are…

Slaughter To Prevail frontman Alex Terrible has issued a lengthy statement addressing backlash over recent Instagram responses that many found offensive. The Russian deathcore vocalist has long been a polarizing figure, with past controversies tied to alleged fascist associations, questionable tattoos (at least one later covered up), and accusations of homophobia. Back in December 2023, Terrible released a since-deleted video where he denied being a Nazi or homophobic, attempting to explain his past comments and actions.
