Horse the Band left the confines of their California homes and embarked on a self-financed, three-month world tour that took them to some of the strangest places on earth. They played in 38 countries, crossing though 45, and learned the meaning of 'Desperate Living,' which is also the name of their latest album, their first for Vagrant...

Maybe it's the result of being behind the drumkit for 16 years and not having much access to the microphone, but Satyricon's sticksmith, Frost, loves to talk. On this week's episode of ''Creep Show,' the black metal veteran is outspoken and verbose on a wide range of subjects, including the benefits of socialized medicine, the universal impact of AC/DC and why artists sometimes re-record old album

Massive could be an understatement when it comes to the response to metal releases this past week. Coming in with the full reports as always, the good folks at Metal Insider reported some big debuts and numbers for new albums that dropped this past week...

These days, bands will do just about anything to promote their new albums. Viral campaigns, intricate online treasure hunts, fake websites, fabricated stories ... the list goes on and on. That's why, when we woke up this morning, a story about Five Finger Death Punch gave us pause...

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're a regular reader of this site, then you probably already know we've been podcasting over here at Noisecreep. Last week, Shadows Fall frontman Brian Fair, fresh from performing on Jimmy Fallon's show, swung by the studios to hang with us during the taping and to talk about the band's new album, 'Retribution,' which hit stores on Tuesday...
