Kittie

There's been a bit of an uproar over Kittie's recent announcement that they will be touring with Insane Clown Posse, Coolio, Necro and Kottonmouth Kings later this spring. The girls, who've been knuckling down on their instruments since 1999, didn't bat an eyelash over the hoopla...

We're not sure how good the movie 'Saw VI' is, but the soundtrack is pretty rad, featuring new recordings by Suicide Silence, Lacuna Coil, Mushroomhead, Chimaira, Shadows Fall, Outbreak and Nitzer Ebb, as well as previously released music ranging from hard rock

Revolver magazine named her one of the sexiest women in metal back in 2006, the same year she was picked as one of Peta2's Top 20 Sexiest Vegetarians. And now, Lisa Marx, the comely former keyboardist for Kittie and Day of Contempt, is the newest member of Winds of Plague...
