Blood and stop-motion were the weapons of metal videos this year. Some made great uses of digital technology, and others lost themselves in the edits. Vampire nurses, blood-soaked ladies, space travel -- 2010 had it all. But it's so easy to miss a video in the myriad of premieres...

UPDATE: See our final list of the best metal videos of 2010. 2010 has been a great year for metal videos, crying out for a best-of list. Fan-made brutality, animation, space travel -- 2010's had it all. But it's so easy to miss a video in the myriad of premieres, so out of hope that nothing gets left out, we here at Noisecreep offer up our best of the best metal videos so far this year... Read Mor

There are no rules for the Melvins. OK, it has to be loud. It's been an ear defining 26 years of down tuning for the legendary act, but who would have predicted a military drum cadence would open the band's forthcoming album, 'The Bride Screamed Murder'...

'The Bride Screamed Murder' will get added to the unruly canon of the Melvins in under a month. The legendary frontman Buzz Osborne described it to Noisecreep as one of the better albums the 26-year-old band has put out. "Surprisingly enough," Osborne (who also goes by King Buzzo) giggled through the phone...

"Mike from Phantom Glue in the house? Mike from Phantom Glue in the house?" asked Disappearer guitarist Thomas Moses. It was the inevitable, "I just broke a string" cry for help.

"I've moved ahead musically. We've covered a hell of a lot of ground in the 26 years -- or whatever it is -- and I don't have much of a problem with that," Melvins head Honcho Buzz Osborne tells Noisecreep. The ever-changing band has confounded some...

On the same day the legendary Melvins begin their tour with Totimoshi -- and Isis on select dates -- the founding fathers of sludge and ambient feedback will release their 18th (because remix albums don't count) full-length, 'The Bride Screamed Murder...

The raw dudes in Big Business have made a video, and it's not what anyone expected for the band's first official video. It would have been understood to see them mix hijinks with some stoned sludge performance shots. But no; that's now how Big Business roll...

Shrinebuilder -- the much-hailed supergroup consisting of Scott 'Wino' Weinrich (the Obsessed, the Hidden Hand, St. Vitus), Dale Crover (Melvins), Al Cisneros (Sleep, Om) and Scott Kelly (Neurosis) -- recently unleashed their self-titled debut album upon the world...

Dark humor wrapped in distortion and shaking feedback -- that was the calling card of Tumwater, Wash.'s Karp, the band that changed the game when it came to playing loud. And for quite a few years now there has been speculations and rumors of a documentary film on the influential band that was comprised of Jared Warren (Big Business, the Melvins), Chris Smith and Scott Jernigan (the Whip), who pas
