Since Barn Burner are a Canadian stoner/doom metal group that sound like a '90s disc unearthed in a musty wooden crate at a Man's Ruin estate sale, we figured their guitarist Nick Ball's iPod would be filled with songs by Kyuss, Corrosion of Conformity, Cathedral, Sleep and pretty much any other band you'd listen to while smoking weed through a Coca-Cola can...

Morgantown, W.V. stoner metal band Karma to Burn will release their fourth disc, 'Appalachian Incantation,' on May 11. A teaser for the upcoming disc is available from Amazon. The group's first album in over eight years, 'Appalachian Incantation,' was produced by ex-Kyuss bassist Scott Reeder and contains eight instrumentals chronologically titled from '41' to '48,' along with the track 'Waiting

A lot of great metal songs came out in 2009, which is why it has taken us so long to put together a definitive list of the top 10. In the end, there had to be some omissions, and some may seem to be glaring. For instance, there's nothing from Megadeth's killer new album 'Endgame,' Nile's ferocious 'Those Whom the Gods Detest,' Blut Aus Nord's experimental 'Memoria Vetusta II -- Dialogue with the S

Perhaps it's because they base themselves out of the relatively low-key music scene of Madison, Wisc., but Droids Attack don't seem too concerned with adhering to any sort of standard that their more famous peers may have established. While their music is seriously crushing, as demonstrated on their new album 'Must Destroy,' they don't take themselves all too seriously -- evidenced be their droid

Charred Walls of the Damned, 'Charred Walls of the Damned': The lineup is a who's who of heavy metal: Tim 'Ripper' Owens on vocals; producer extraordinaire Jason Suecof on guitars (and he shreds); Steve DiGiorgio of Testament/Death on bass; and Howard Stern show sidekick Richard Christy, who got his start in Death and Iced Earth, on drums...

Kreisor started CMJ Day 3 with a "Good morning!" greeting to the equal parts hip and dirty New York City basement venue Cakeshop. The band, obviously influenced by Kyuss, Monster Magnet and Led Zeppelin B-sides, produced loud, dreamy riffs perfectly fit for road hogs and potheads...

This past week, metal was on the brink of clinching #1 on the charts thanks to an iconic rock band -- until some Hallmark mothers decided to purchase Michael Buble. Nevertheless as reported by our friends over at Metal Insider, the legendary rock act Kiss respectably took the #2 debut with 108,000 albums sold in its first week...

While shoegazers Nebula played Santo's Party House, a couple stops on the L-Train and a borough away, ladies danced to Riotgod with cigarettes in their mouths -- a visual many New Yorkers have forgotten, unless they tread the DIY scene often...

So, this is going to sound weird. But yesterday, this scribe went to Stamford, Ct. with his fiancée, to sit in on a live taping of 'The Steve Wilkos Show.' Don't judge. We've been a fan of the bald talk show host since his Jerry Springer spin-off started three years ago, mainly because the dude throws chairs when he gets pissed. It's ...

Friday is here. And for us, that means an entire day spent in the sunshine, rocking out at the Camden, N.J. stop of the Rockstar Mayhem tour. We can't wait to see Black Dahlia Murder, All That Remains, Job For a Cowboy and Behemoth. It's always fun to catch Marilyn Manson, Slayer and Killswitch Engage, too...
