Ghost B.C. (Ghost) do not allow potential fans to become casual bystanders. The Satanic doom / heavy metal act strive to convert you through a unique brand of deceptively beautiful music, leaving listeners convulsing and speaking in tongues, much like those inside the most fundamental Evangelical or Pentecostal church.

Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive gave New Yorkers one hell of a show on Saturday night (April 13) with support from the Word Alive, Veil of Maya and While She Sleeps.

When Disturbed went on hiatus, there was the question of whether it would be a short break with the members just enjoying some time off or a longer period that would see everyone pursue other projects.

Stone Sour set the bar high with their 'House of Gold & Bones Part 1' disc in 2012, and they don't disappoint with the concept album's conclusion. What listeners get on 'Part 2' is a hard-hitting collection that digs deeper into the storylines that are laid out in the opening disc. And, as Corey Taylor has stated, the second portion plays more like a soundtrack than the first release. Read Mor

Punk icons Green Day gave fans a treat with their first performance at Brooklyn’s latest attraction, the Barclays Center, with support from their fellow Californians of the band Best Coast. Just prior to the headlining set, overjoyed fans sang vigorously to classics by Queen and the Ramones as Green Day's pink bunny mascot had fun interacting with the crowd while drinking beer...

Killswitch Engage have returned in a big way -- not only with their new album ‘Disarm the Descent,’ but also with original frontman Jesse Leach. The new disc is Leach’s first album with the band since 2002’s ‘Alive or Just Breathing.’
