"Paul Gray was always super-fun to be around," Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian told Noisecreep the day after the Slipknot bassist's body was found in a hotel in Urbandale, Iowa. "He was always smiling and he was always all about the music." Ian spent time rehearsing with Gray in 2005 for the 'Roadrunner United: All Stars' tribute concert to celebrate Roadrunner Records' 25th anniv

When Touche Amore played Santos Party House in New York City on May 6, they couldn't stop talking about how much they appreciated that Converge took them out on the road. "The guy in the Sepultura shirt said I'm awesome! That rules!" frontman Jeremy Bolm exclaimed while grabbing and shaking the guy in the Sepultura T-shirt...

I will never doubt the vivacity of a gray-haired punk again. Not after March 25, when Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine left Brooklyn's Europa in emotional ruins. The intimate Polish nightclub is tucked away in Greenpoint, so it's not like iconic '80s hardcore musicians play there all the time...

It was an exciting week at Noisecreep central. We developed the capability to run photos on giant LED screens of the bands and albums we're talking about and we actually looked like a real broadcast news department. And we got to share that tingly feeling with Soulfly and Cavalera Conspiracy frontman Max Cavalera (ex-Sepultura), who talked to us about his new album 'Omen,' which drops May 25 and

Judging from Mnemic's fourth album, 'Sons of the System,' it's pretty clear that the band members have eclectic musical tastes. The way vocalist Guillaume Bideau combines hellfire screams with steely melodic vocals and keyboard samples is definitely reminiscent of Fear Factory, the intermingling of machine-gun beats, blowtorch riffs and angular rhythms is redolent of Meshuggah and the abrupt stac

Congrats to High on Fire, whose 'Snakes for the Divine' sold nearly 10,000 copies its first week on shelves. That's nearly double what their last album sold in its first week, and this is their fifth studio album. It's incredible to see the band having forward progress deep into their career and reversing a trend...

Demon Hunter have released their fifth album, 'The World Is a Thorn.' While the band waves the flag of their Christian metal status proudly, the music has more in common with secular bands like Sepultura and Machine Head. In fact, vocalist Ryan Clark admits the band didn't change the template; instead, they upped the ante...

Demon Hunter vocalist Ryan Clark and his brother, guitarist Don, have been playing in bands together for years. They also work together as graphic designers with their own firm, so Ryan is not fretting over his brother's recent departure from their almost-decade-old band...

When metal guitarist Marc Rizzo plays clubs through the beginning of February, the veteran of bands such as Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy and Sepultura will present a retrospective of his career. "We do everything," Rizzo told Noisecreep. "We play a lot of songs off my last few solo records and some new stuff off my new record that's coming out in January...

For many new bands, opening for established acts can be nerve-wracking, but for Arizona teen metal bashers Age of Evil, being in the presence of greatness is inspiring. That's why the quartet should have no problem opening for the new all-star band Hail...
