The Red Chord can usually be found touring in the summer and, well, summer 2010 will be no different. The Boston grinders -- and no, we're not referring to a New England sub sandwich -- will lay waste to venues as part of the Summer Slaughter Tour, which begins on July 17...

As we previously reported, Decapitated and the Faceless will be hitting the road for this year's Summer Slaughter Tour, which launches June 17 in San Diego and runs through Aug. 23.

"It's taken so long to get it out, because we've been touring nonstop," MyChildren MyBride vocalist Matthew Hasting told Noisecreep about the band's forthcoming album, 'Lost Boy.' The band wanted to get the album done, but tour offers took them away from the task at hand, which was writing and recording...

Taking care of a healing tattoo is a pain. It scabs. You have to keep it moist. You must resist the urge to scratch the itch of flaking skin. You have to be religious about cleaning it.
