Those damn Europeans. They love metal, so they get some of the best metal tours. Not like we don't get good tours here in the good ole U.S., but some of those Euro tours are worth severing a limb for. Earthless, whose members boast résumés impressive enough to make you turn pea soup green with envy -- like Rocket from the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Blackheart Procession, Nebula and Drunk Horse -- are hea
Sargent House is not the typical record label, and the one behind it, Cathy Pellow, prides herself on this. Rather than sit around discussing the next trend and newest marketing technique to get the applause of the blogs, she wants to talk about music and how to help keep good bands on the road...
Russian Circles are not a band that slows down -- not at any point -- and with bassist Brian Cook no longer sharing his time with the now defunct These Arms Are Snakes, expect the grandiose instrumental band to be on the road much more. And if you're in Europe, expect the band to hit a stage near you next month...
Since 2004, These Arms Are Snakes have been spreading their own flavor of post-hardcore through constant touring around the world and releasing three full-length albums and numerous small players on vinyl in between. Many people have wondered when the band was going to head back to the studio to create a follow-up to 2008's 'Tail Swallower and Dove,' which was the most successful release for the

He was stuck in a thick sea of the crowd's "Awwws" and "What happeneds?"

Mat Arluck, guitarist for Chicago metallers Sweet Cobra, has died at a medical facility in Seattle, where he was receiving cancer treatments. Arluck was first diagnosed with cancer three years ago, and had been battling the disease ever since...
Currently Young Widows are out on the road supporting Russian Circles. If you're lucky enough to see these fine Louisville, Ky. fellows on their current jaunt, be prepared to hear a good chunk of new material. "These songs are all over the place," vocalist/guitarist Evan Patterson tells Noisecreep of the tracks being planned for their follow up to 'Old Wounds...
Many are going to call 'Geneva,' Russian Circles' third album, a return to a heavy frame of mind that wasn't displayed on the band's last effort, 2008's 'Station.' But for guitarist Mike Sullivan, 'Geneva' is much more than a loud record. "There are a lot of unsaid emotions," he told Noisecreep, while discussing what lies behind the record for himself...
Chicago's Castevet make some rocking, instrumental post punk. They kind of sound like Russian Circles if only they were bigger fans of Taking Back Sunday. If that sounds like a different language to you, then good. The Castevet you really care about has nothing to do with those guys...
