Illegal downloading has hobbled the music industry over the last decade, and try as they might, labels and musicians have been unable to quell online leaks and file sharing. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? Late last night, the publicists for Smashing Pumpkins issued a press release announcing that Billy Corgan, the band's sole remaining founding member, would be releasing a new album call

Another episode of Noisecreep's ''Creep Show' podcast is in the bag, and we can't wait for you guys to see it. The guys from Anvil stopped by to discuss their album, the movie that helped make them a household name, and what its been like being in one of the most underappreciated metal bands ever...

If you're a regular reader of this site, then you probably already know we've been podcasting over here at Noisecreep.

What does a band like Mudvayne do for fun while on tour? This is a very relevant question, as they've been on the road all summer long as part of the inaugural Pedal to the Metal Tour with Black Label Society, Suicide Silence, Bury Your Dead and more...

Of course, we assumed the show's cancellation was probably due to Zakk Wylde's recent hospitalization for the treatment of a blood clot...

Ozzy Osbourne performed at BlizzCon over the weekend, and now we're even more confused. For weeks now, there has been some question over whether Zakk Wylde was still Osbourne's guitarist. The answer was supposed to come over the weekend, when Osbourne was to perform at the Anaheim Convention Center ...

On Sept. 9, Mudvayne's inaugural Pedal to the Metal Tour concludes in Oklahoma City, Okla. after a successful summer spent on the road rocking amphitheaters with the likes of Black Label Society, Bury Your Dead, Static-X and Suicide Silence...
