KillswitchEngage

Decisions, decisions. Today, two new eagerly-awaited albums land in stores: Killswitch Engage's self-titled latest, and Suicide Silence's 'No Time to Bleed.' Remember back to when you were younger, and you had limited means? If two albums dropped on the same day, and you could only afford to get one of them...

If you haven't heard Killswitch Engage's hilariously brutal cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" yet, you need to. Like all good covers, the band's version is fairly faithful, but not a carbon copy. Killswitch puts its own stamp on the tune, without completely bastardizing the classic tune, seemingly about a mean but clean tiger...

Some days, White Noise is something of a hodgepodge of metal news, covering acts from the 1980s through the 1990s and into this current decade. Other days, its sort of like an Ozzfest lineup; rife with big names everyone knows and/or heavy metal newcomers with really long, really confusing names...

What's Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz expecting on this summer's second annual RockStar Energy Mayhem Festival? "Lawn chairs, sunshine, beer, cookouts, farting, triple-digit temperatures, and dirty, dirty kids," says Dutkiewicz, who co-produced the band's forthcoming self-titled album with Brendan O'Brien...

The good news is, there's not a single Bret Michaels mention in today's installment of White Noise. The bad news is, the weather still stinks here in New York City. It has rained 12 of the last 14 days, if you can believe that. What is this, Seattle...

Man, its looking like an Urfaust day. New York City is blanketed in a thick fog, and a hard rain's been pummeling the pavement all night long, with no signs it's going to let up anytime soon. Considering we're going to be in the office all day, that's cool, so long as Mother Nature clears the skies by this weekend...

We're still recovering from last night's big finale, and still can't believe Kiss and Queen accepted invites to perform with Adam Lambert and (spoiler alert) eventual winner Kris Allen. But hey, stranger things have happened. Just look at the platypus...

It's Tuesday morning, and that means there's a whole bunch of killer new albums in stores today. We'll be bringing you the lowdown on all the new releases later on today, but for now, how about a little news, yes? So, we've got some exclusive album news for you, as well as a hilarious link, an injury report from one of metal's best bands, and the prospect of another epic concept album...

Another week is in the books, and for us here at the Noisecreep offices, it was a soggy one, indeed. For a while there, we thought we'd never see the sun again, but heading into this weekend, the skies are cloudless and our mood is good. In addition to being wet, the week was also a busy one, with lots of exclusive interviews, tour updates, album scoops, and all the metal news you need to know, al

The thing about interviewing the Killswitch Engage dudes is, they hardly ever give you what sounds like a serious answer. It's just something you have to come to terms with before going into a chat with Howard Jones and the ever-merry Adam Dutkiewicz...
