Ever try chewing chips with earplugs plugged into your ears? It sucks! Until God Dethroned plays in front of you -- drowning out the crunching sound. At least that's the lesson this writer learned when God Dethroned played Nokia Theater with Overkill, Vader, Warbringer, Evile and Woe of Tyrants...

On May 1, New York City's Times Square was closed off, looking like a nighttime 'Vanilla Sky' scene -- but with no confused Tom Cruise running around. There were just police and city officers dealing with a possible bomb threat. But while all this was going on, the Nokia Theater was alive in the name of metal...

The late Saturday night bomb threat that immobilized much of New York City's Times Square affected the Overkill tour, ironically dubbed Killfest 2010, as well. The tour's final show was at the Nokia Theater, located smack dab in the heart of the always bustling Times Square...

If you've yet to hear of Woe of Tyrants, we'll remedy that situation right now with this exclusive premiere of the thrashily modern song 'Venom Eye,' from the band's new album 'Threnody,' which drops on April 13 from Metal Blade Records. You'll feel like you need to go to the dentist and be outfitted for crowns and porcelain veneers, since 'Venom Eye' is like a steel-toed kick to the teeth... Rea

You'd be wise to bring an industrial-sized vat of Bengay or Icy Hot to the upcoming thrash tour that Warbringer find themselves on. The Los Angeles thrashers are hitting the road to thrash and pillage alongside Overkill, Vader and God Dethroned, with Evile and Woe of Tyrants in tow...

Vancouver's own Bison B.C. have finished recording their third album, 'Dark Ages,' which they'd been working on for several months at Hive Studios.

"He's taking us on a dark, mystical, next level s--- kinda journey," vocalist Dan And recently told Noisecreep in a studio update last December... Read

Following a 12-year hiatus, Dutch technical death metal veterans, Pestilence, reformed in 2006 and now they're finally making it back to North America to tour for the first time in 16 years. The band will launch a 17-date trek with Warbringer, Vital Remains, Enfold Darkness and Sacrificial Slaughter, which starts May 30 in Baltimore and runs through June 17 in New York City...

Despite the weight of the subject matter on Woe of Tyrants' forthcoming new album 'Threnody,' which deals with a 'traveler' who bounces between planets and experiences a lot of s---, the band enjoyed their studio experience. "We had a pretty standard time at the studio, filled with stress, attempts at breaking Chipotle burrito records and watching cartoons," singer Chris Catanzaro said.

Last year, New Jersey thrash band Overkill launched the Killfest tour in Europe with Exodus, Gamma Bomb and Torture Squad. Now they're taking the slaughter through North America with Vader, God Dethroned, Warbringer, Evile and Woe of Tyrants...
