Huntress play heavy metal. When we say "heavy metal," we mean it in the purest sense of the musical definition. Their debut album, 2012's Spell Eater, brings to mind Painkiller-era Judas Priest, with no trace of metalcore or Auto-Tune on it...

That "no photo, no video" rule at Glenn Danzig's "Danzig Legacy" shows isn't a polite suggestion: It's an ironclad rule. Nashville Scene photographer Michael W. Bunch learned that the hard way on Saturday, as the Misfits legend spotted him snapping pics -- of dancing fans, evidently -- and bounded off the stage, making like he was going to rush into the crowd ...

Forget about the biggest moshpits, walls of death, deafening amp towers, and nailed armbands. No experience is more brutally intense than childbirth, having your body turned inside out or cut open while you watch, as the case may be. Forget about flowers and cards, every single mother among us deserves a suitably potent metal playlist this Mother's Day...

Talking up his forthcoming covers record, Danzig has made clear his philosophy on reworking other artists' material: Unless he can take a song somewhere new, he's not interested. While any tune crooned in Danzig's signature lounge-demon style is bound to sound distinctive, he's pulled off an especially radical remake with "Devil's Angels," the first single from the new album...

Here at Noisecreep, we love a good old-fashioned slugfest. Luckily, there never seems to be a shortage of them in the world of hard rock. One of the common battles we come across covering this kind of music are the legal disputes over band names...

To honor Metallica's 30th Anniversary, Green Day has recorded a cover of 'Hybrid Moments' by the Misfits. The original version of the song can be found on 'Static Age,' the Misfits' debut album. The New Jersey punk heroes originally recorded the album in 1978, but it remained shelved until Caroline Records included it in the Misfits' box set in 1996...

After three nights of special guests, song premieres, special covers and nuggets from deep in their vaults, Metallica came into last night's (Dec. 10) show at the Fillmore in San Francisco with the challenge of somehow topping themselves...

Danzig have canceled their entire South American tour due to travel complications. The quartet is currently touring Europe and was scheduled to start its South American jaunt in Santiago, Chile on July 21st. Unfortunately, the band was forced to pull the dates due to logistical issues...

The combination of Halloween and heavy metal is a beautiful marriage made in hell and when it comes down to it, a complete no-brainer. Since the early 1900s, an entire cottage industry has risen around the Oct. 31 holiday. Whether it's books, feature films or the multi-million dollar costume industry, Halloween has made a lot of people rich...

From his work in the Misfits to Samhain to his solo efforts in the eponymous Danzig, Glenn Danzig has contributed volumes upon volumes to the metal canon. Hell, his first three solo albums are back-to-back-to-back essentials -- and some of the genre's most important releases...
