Black metal rising to prominence isn't something that the members of 1349 spend time worrying about. The homogeny and outgrowth of the genre -- which praises all things blasphemously evil and Jesus-hating -- doesn't scare the band, whereas many black metal acts spend their moments trying to keep their genre out of the light and firmly entrenched in the dark...

Not one. Not two. But three -- three! -- tours are in the works for 1349. While our count off may have sounded a bit like the Count from 'Sesame Street,' it's a celebratory notion, to think that Norwegian hell raisers 1349 will cover U.S. soil with their black metal maelstrom this year...

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

A Saturday night in New York's Times Square is usually a pretty scary scene for the average metalhead. But on March 6, metal pioneers Voivod were in town. In my hood, that always changes everything about anything. The band hit the stage and dove right into their self-titled song 'Voivod' with barely an introduction...

Legendary American death metal band Six Feet Under just released their new covers album, 'Graveyard Classics III,' but they don't have plans to tour in support of it -- other than in Europe. "I don't know how much we'll tour over here," frontman Chris Barnes tells Noisecreep...

Having toured pretty much nonstop since the February 2009 release of their latest album, 'Evisceration Plague,' Cannibal Corpse are taking a well-deserved rest when they return from their current South American tour on Feb. 21. Then they'll start working on some new songs for their next record, and before you know it, they'll be back on another North American headline tour...

In anticipation of the second Scion Rock Fest this March, Noisecreep spoke with Scion Sales Promotions Manager Jeri Yoshizu, who directs all aspects of the car company's involvement with art, film and pop culture initiatives. She told Noisecreep that "nothing is ever planned to be continuous...

The 2010 New England Metal and Hardcore Festival enters its 12th year this spring, returning to Worcester, Mass. Taking place at The Palladium, the event will be held April 23 and April 24 -- a special kickoff party, sponsored by Atticus, will also take place on April 22...

The members of Savannah's Black Tusk have a heavy tour schedule this coming spring. After finishing up their February dates with Skeletonwitch, the band will head to Columbus, Ohio to perform at the second Scion Rock Fest. Sharing the bill with them are Cannibal Corpse, Pelican and many other Noisecreep approved bands...
