Divine Heresy

Both bands offered statements on Payne's death.

Former Divine Heresy and Snot singer Tommy Vext was attacked with a crowbar outside of his apartment Sept. 19 in Brooklyn, N.Y. during an attempted robbery. Noisecreep is happy to report that Vext is recovering through physical therapy, lots of metal scene support and a healthy dose of PMA; that's positive mental attitude, if you're not familiar with Rastafarian vocabulary...

It's no secret that CKY frontman Deron Miller is a longtime, diehard death metal fan. He used to pen impassioned letters to Roadrunner A&R guru Monte Conner, regarding the label's death metal acts, which were printed in Metal Maniacs.

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...

German metal trio Secrets of the Moon are on their first U.S. tour, and they recently discussed American beer and the making of their latest album, 'Privilegivm.' Surprised to find the States very different from their mother country, they're also pleased with the audience response...

We feel bad for Kristen Randall, but only a tiny bit bad. The keyboardist for Los Angeles symphonic death metal assemblage Winds of Plague became the former keyboardist for Los Angeles symphonic death metal assemblage Winds of Plague yesterday, and later on today, we'll be bringing you her reasons for leaving the band...

What a friggin' tease! We awoke this morning, thinking that today was the day Alice in Chains' 'Black Give Way to Blue' would finally be in stores, only to discover that the Internet lied. Not the whole Internet. Just a few metal sites we've come to trust...
