Korn bassist Fieldy is reinventing the metal wheel with his side project, Stillwell, which he describes as sounding like a mix of Guns N' Roses, Rage Against the Machine and Led Zeppelin. "It's heavy, but not heavy like Korn. We came up with a title for the music; it's called street metal...

A lot of great metal songs came out in 2009, which is why it has taken us so long to put together a definitive list of the top 10.

Without question, Them Crooked Vultures was one of the biggest musical surprises of 2009. The band seemingly came out of nowhere and within a couple of months, seemed to have a record already in the bag and ready for release and they were playing to sell-out crowds all across the country, without anyone hearing a single note of their music...

Death metal icons Master are celebrating 30 years of headbanging bliss and death metal glory as they recently recorded their newest album, 'The Human Machine,' for Pulverised Records. "It may sound corny, but truthfully, 'It's along way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll,'" frontman and founder Paul Speckmann told Noisecreep, referencing AC/DC's classic hit...
