After an eight-year absence, Krazy Fest, the Southeast's premiere punk and hardcore festival, has been resurrected. Performers will include Krazy Fest alumni Hot Water Music, Hot Rod Circuit, Bane, Cave In, and Bouncing Souls. The festival also welcomes scene veterans Against Me...

Sure, 2010 was the year of metal dreams come true -- especially the Big Four (Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax) burying all their weapons to tour overseas this year -- but what we're looking forward to is that tour finally hitting the States in 2011...

In 1998 it began with 'The Mosquito Control' EP, embossed with a metallic insect that became the seal of the quintet and containing what for most became the first listens of a spacious yet destructive sound -- which became the pin pointed definition of post-metal...

Megadeth will be playing 'Rust in Peace' in its entirety on their upcoming tour, the same one in which Testament will be performing their debut album, 'The Legacy.' With their latest EP, 'Planets of Old,' just released on CD, would post-hardcore quartet Cave In follow suit and perform a classic album like 'Until Your Heart Stops' in full...

On Jan. 25, Cave In will release their first CD in four years, as the vinyl-only EP they issued earlier this year, 'Planets of Old,' will be packaged along with a DVD of their June 2009 reunion show.

Manhattan's Knitting Factory was a three-level venue in Tribeca. Any given night, there were several rad shows happening simultaneously, giving the adamant music lover an everlasting tasty piece of gum to chew on. But like many venues in Manhattan (Coney Island High, Rock and Roll High School and CBGBs), rent hikes and city regulations got the best of The Knitting Factory...

Massachusetts-based post-hardcore/post-metal stalwarts Cave In are not only back, but unleashing their previously limited-released, vinyl-only comeback EP on CD along with a bonus DVD. Entitled 'Planets of Old,' the four-song offering houses Cave In's first new material in years, while the 12-track DVD showcases clips from the band's first reunion show in Allston, Mass...

Just a year ago Trap Them released 'Seizures in Barren Praise' and shook up the lives of hardcore and grindcore lovers all over the universe. Like the three other road-crazed bands Trap Them played with at The Crazy Donkey Nov. 3 -- Toxic Holocaust, Skeletonwitch and Black Dahlia Murder -- they are always on tour, too...
