New Haven, Conn. is the home to both Hatebreed and John Mayer. And that alone sums up southern Conneticut's youth demographic -- a blend of preppies and hardcore lifers. So it makes sense that in the center of ivy league coffee shops and mall stores by the way of Yale, New Haven also houses a nice, cozy rock/metal venue called Toad's...
Atlanta-based sludge merchants Withered will release their new album, 'Dualitas' on Oct. 26. The disc will land just in time for the band's stint on Danzig's exhumed Blackest of the Black Tour, where they will be joined by Possessed, Marduk and Toxic Holocaust...
New Orleans' Eyehategod make metal that's sludgier than a NOLA swamp, and the band will finally tour the U.S. after a significant absent from the road circuit other than weekend warrior gigging.
"It's first U.S. tour in a long time, and while we've been doing shows all over, it's been regional in the South," singer Mike Williams told Noisecreep...
Even though Hallux have played with some pretty rad bands (Withered, Unearthly Trance, Malkuth, Wizardry, etc.), if you live outside of New York area, it is unlikely that you have heard of them. As New York residents, they often play the small stages that Noisecreep likes to frequent...

Mike Thompson is Withered's only original member since Chris Freeman departed last summer. Almost a year after Freeman's departure, Withered is still working on music. The band's integrity and work ethic has not changed, either. For their next release, Waited member and Withered friend Dylan Kilgore has taken Freeman's place...
It had been eight months since black metallers Withered played a show when they were welcomed to Austin's South by Southwest festival with two shows in one day. The long break was much needed after the band played on tours with Watain, Mayhem and Marduk...
Earlier this year, Chicago-hailing extreme metallers Nachtmystium entered a recording studio to begin tracking the follow-up to 2008's 'Assassins: Black Meddle Part I' under the vigilant eyes of Minsk producer Sanford Parker. On June 8, Century Media will release that effort, called 'Addicts: Black Meddle Part II...
For years now, the good folks at MetalSucks and SMN News have helped bring some of the most sinister tours around to your town, and this June, they'll be doing it again. New Orleans sludge metallers Eyehategod will be taking to the blacktop starting June 3 in Orlando, Fla...
