As Canada's Threat Signal ready 'Vigilance,' their new album, for release, vocalist Jon Howard wants the headbangers who haven't heard of his band yet to know Threat Signal aren't a one trick pony. "Threat Signal combine a lot of elements found in metal and rock, and we are not a one trick pony," Howard told Noisecreep...

Sybreed, who are in the studio working on a new opus, are what's deemed "death wave." Drop, guitarist for the Swiss industrial metal band, told Noisecreep that the genre "is simply a mix between death metal and new wave" that was actually christened as a joke and was a result of the consumption of libations...

So, we were at a show last week, and noticed something strange. See, we realize it's uncouth to wear a band shirt to that same band's concert. It's like wearing an 'I Love New York' shirt in Times Square. We see dudes all the time when we go to shows wearing shirts with the logos of bands on the bill, and it almost always inspires a smart-ass remark...

This fall, cartoon metal band Dethklok – stars of Adult Swim's 'Metalocalypse' – will co-headline a tour with prog-metal masters Mastodon. Massachusetts mathcore veterans Converge and stoner/doom masters High on Fire will open the show. "It's gonn...

Its going to be a good week. We can just tell. For starters, George Takei is back. We're not sure if any of our readers are fellow Howard Stern fans, but the thespian known for his roles in 'Star Trek' and 'Heroes' is the show's occasional announcer – and he's back in the studio this week, doing his thing. His ...

Finally, it's Friday. We've got just one more week left in July, and then it'll be August already. Boy, did this summer coast by! Maybe that's because we here at Noisecreep have been working hard all summer, to bring you all the latest heavy metal and hard rock news as well as some of the best band interviews around...

In 2002, after a bitter split with influential melodic death metal/industrial band Fear Factory, guitarist Dino Cazares went underground for a while, recording and touring a bit with extreme bands including Brujeria and Asesino, but mostly staying out of the metal spotlight...

We weren't sure if we would, but lo and behold, we have indeed survived our first weekend in this post-Michael Jackson world. Jackson's passing got us thinking whether there was a heavy metal equivalent...meaning, is there one person in heavy metal whose death would elicit even a slightly similar outpouring of mourning and a sense of international loss...

Poor Farrah Fawcett. The world was just starting to mourn her death when someone even more iconic kicked the bucket. Unless you live under a rock, you know by now that Michael Jackson died yesterday at the age of 50, from sudden cardiac arrest (we're hoping he left us the Elephant man's bones in his will)...

So, it was a long weekend for White Noise. We attended a barbecue in Atlantic City on Saturday, and then hit the casinos. Sunday brought another Father's Day. We're not sure about you, but we never know what to get dad for his birthday or on holidays...
