I hope all the fans enjoy—they were at the forefront of the project and without them this video wouldn’t have...
Are IRON MAIDEN Dropping Hints At New Music?
It appears that IRON MAIDEN are possibly teasing fans with a series of clues both online and IRL in recent weeks. And some rather clever metalheads who have taken to the net as of late seem to think it just may be happening. And they even have a date. July 15. The series of clues is pretty extensive, and the good people over at Loudwire have done a great job of combing through and detailing all of it. Gotta send some love to Metalsucks as well. Here’s what we have thus far: Flyers for ‘Belshezzar’s Feast’ were spotted oat this year’s...
METALLICA’s KIRK HAMMETT, RUSH’s ALEX LIFESON And ‘RATM”s TOM MORELLO Are Collaborating Together
RUSH guitarist Alex Lifeson recently revealed that he’s working on a new guitar-driven, collaborative song with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE shredder Tom Morello and METALLICA axeman Kirk Hammett. The three guitar icons are adding their unique playing styles to the track that came about because of a virtual “guitar summit” in which the trio participated. Morello is acting as producer of the song. “I think this is a project that he’s working on with a bunch of different musicians,” Lifeson told UCR on Wednesday (June 30). “I don’t really know what the future holds for it, but I really loved...
Check Out This 9-Year-Old Girl Covering The SPIRITBOX Song “Holy Roller”
SPIRITBOX is that band that everyone just can’t stop talking about right now as they continue to amass a huge following. And that seems to include young metalheads as well. Take, for example, 9 year old Harper, who is such a fan of SPIRITBOX that she laid down an absolutely killer cover of the band’s hit “Holy Roller”. The cover even went over so well that SPIRITBOX themselves shared the rendition on their social media, adding “Harper for the win.” The cover was initially shared by Ben Lumber, who we’re guessing is little Harper’s father. You can check out videos...

Video: Brutal Death Metal Band Plays For Elementary School Kids Who Think It’s Awesome
Canadian death metal act OBVURT returned to playing live in their home city of Quebec with a show…at an elementary school. It all came about because guitarist Philippe Drouin is also a music teacher at the school, and it was actually the faculty suggested setting it up. “The physical education teacher and school principal introduced me to this idea,” Drouin said. “He was thinking about a party to celebrate the end of the school year by doing a show in the school backyard where [I teach music]. He knew about the release of [OBVURT album] ‘The Beginning’ on March 31st...
MACHINE HEAD’s ROBB FLYNN Appears On New ONCE HUMAN Song ‘Deadlock’
ONCE HUMAN has unveiled a taste of their new single “Deadlock”, taken from the band’s upcoming album “Scar Weaver”, which is set to arrive in February 2022 via earMUSIC. “Deadlock” also happens to feature a guest appearance by MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn, who also happens to be good friends with ONCE HUMAN guitarist Logan Mader.
