Drumroll, please! The 52nd annual Grammy nominees have been announced, and the Best Metal Performance category contains absolutely no surprises -- except, perhaps, for the exclusions that we could argue until we're blue in the face about, so let's not even go there...

Although the mainstream largely shunned heavy metal in the 1990s, the last decade found our music getting more attention that it's ever gotten. Some of the finest releases the music has ever had were released from 2000 to 2009 and shows like VH1's 'The Metal Show' have proved very successful in the ratings game...

"I have a couple different phones and a lot of emails," Hatebreed cherub-cheeked singer Jamey Jasta told Noisecreep about how he manages to be a singer in two bands (Kingdom of Sorrow is his other jaunt, in case you didn't know), juggle a myriad of guest appearances on other band's albums, father to a 10-year-old, serve as label owner and operate as a clothing entrepreneur of sorts...

During the 1990s, it was awesome being a New York Yankees fan. Scott Brosius, Paul O'Neill, Tino Martinez, Bernie, Chuck, Jeter. Then, 9/11 happened, and ever since, it seems as though the Yanks have struggled to get back to the World Series...

The thing is, it nearly happened. Strapping Young Lad mastermind Devin Townsend and Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt almost collaborated on Townsend's 'Addicted,' the second of four records the Canadian metal maven's been working on in recent years as the Devin Townsend Project. It w...

Last week, we brought you video of God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle, taking a full cup of liquid to the face during a gig in Dallas, Texas; Coyle was filling in for Lamb of God's Mark Morton, and the incident forced the band to cut its set short...
