Nachtmystium

Hipster hangout Kung Fu Necktie is rapidly becoming the go-to venue for quality metal shows in Philadelphia, and those of us that call the 215 home couldn't be happier. After playing host to the likes of Krieg, Total F---ing Destruction, Nachtmystium, Wolves in the Throne Room and Krallice in recent months, the dimly-lit alcove welcomed yet another trio of amplifier worshippers into the fold on J

On Dec. 16 I learned that I still did't know every New York City-hailing black metal band. Dimentianon -- who opened for Marduk's U.S. Plague return show -- is not exactly from N.Y.C., but Long Island's Pine Barren section called Ridge, N...

Being a Marduk fan has always been dangerous, but never has it been as dangerous as this past week. The Swedish black metallers have been touring the U.S. in recent weeks with Nachtmystium, Mantic Ritual, Merrimack and Black Anvil in support of their latest LP, 'Wormwood...

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...

Since 2007, Atlanta's Zoroaster have been releasing their albums of psychedelic sludge on the band's own label, Terminal Doom, but in the past few months the band has said they were open for a change come time for their next album.

THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER: Legendary Australian black metallers Nazxul have been confirmed for the 2010 edition of the Maryland Death Fest, marking the band's first-ever performance on North American soil. They are currently plotting a full North American tour in support of their new album Iconoclast, the band's first full-length since their classic debut, 'Totem,' in 1995...

If you haven't already checked out the third episode of Noisecreep's weekly podcast, ''Creep Show,' you should. Our special guest for this most recent podcast was Black Dahlia Murder's Trevor Strnad, who talked to us about this summer's Rockstar Mayhem Fest, Marilyn Manson wanting to "rape his face," and how the band found out their fall tour with Slipknot was canceled...

Entering into the first week of September, Noisecreep starts the month off with some amazing releases and notable debuts on the charts from the week prior. Reported by the good folks at Metal Insider, the projected 10-15,000 units sold was damn near spot on with Victory's Otep pulling in the highest debut, with 10,400 albums sold...
