Throwdown

After an admittedly "long tumultuous history" with former label Trustkill Records and the variety of member changes that litter their history, Throwdown's Dave Peters says the band is finally happy with where they are career-wise with their E1 debut, 'Deathless...

For Arizona thrash rockers Incite, it's been a long road leading up to their debut album 'The Slaughter,' which hit stores Oct. 20 in the United States and Nov. 3 worldwide. Singer Richie Cavalera, son of Max Cavalera, formed the band in late 2004, but he needed time to let the songs grow and mature before slapping them on a release...

Dave Peters, vocalist of Orang County mosh monsters Throwdown, is another metalhead who proudly proclaimed "Halloween is my favorite holiday!" The singer also told Noisecreep, "I love it. Funny you should mention Halloween, since three songs on the new record, 'Deathless,' are kind of like a trilogy or trifecta of symbolic songs about these experiences, and I use different classic m

Take It Back's third release on the Facedown Records imprint looks simple on its surface, literally. It was done by the label's in-house artist, Dave Quiggle.

A recent trip to Poland didn't end up working out the way Daath, Chimaira, Throwdown and Unearth had planned. According to Daath guitarist Eyal Levi, Unearth's Ken Susi became involved in an altercation with venue personnel in Poland following a gig all of the aforementioned bands had played...

Clearly, Givens knows what's good in the metal scene, and is bringing it to his company. He splits his time bringing in new bands and working with the acts already on the roster, overseeing all aspects of metal at E1...

Isn't it awesome when bands rip on former members, something like five years after it actually matters? While cruising for news this morning, we came across an item about Korn. Essentially, frontman Jonathan Davis said in a recent interview that original members Brian 'Head' Welch and David Silveria didn't really contribute much to the band's initial recordings...

We doubt any of you watched the MTV Video Music Awards last night (unless you're girlfriend made you watch, in which case, dump that broad), because we sure as hell didn't. Given there isn't even a metal or hard rock video category, why would we...

Welcome to Thursday, kids. The week is nearly over, and the metal and hard rock news just keeps on coming. We still don't know if Zakk Wylde will remain Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist, although he says things are all good through his Twitter account, and we're still reeling from last weekend's RockStar Mayhem kickoff...
