A cemetery? Tombstones? Dudes in fedoras and capes? Open graves? Guys with epic beards and dreads, rocking out like true badasses? Why it must be a metal video, right? Well, it's Five Finger Death Punch's new clip for 'Hard to See,' the lead single of the band's forthcoming LP, 'War is the Answer,' which bombards record stores Sept...

Attention class, metal is back in session for the month of September -- as if it ever really went away. With a myriad of new metal and rock releases coming in, veterans of the genre Ace Frehley and Megadeth are making their appearance right back in the spotlight...

So, this is going to sound weird. But yesterday, this scribe went to Stamford, Ct. with his fiancée, to sit in on a live taping of 'The Steve Wilkos Show.' Don't judge.
