System of a Down’s Serj Tankian Scored a Russian Action Movie; Watch the Trailer Here
While we’ve all been waiting like schmucks for a new System of a Down album, Serj Tankian has kept busy by getting into the film scoring game. Interestingly, Tankian has been composing for movies for a couple of years now, and it seems like most of us never even noticed: he scored the Armenian films 1915 and The Last Inhabitantin 2015 and 2016, and now he’s done the music for a movie which is…

The Contortionist Deliver Another Melodic New Song “Absolve”
The Contortionist Deliver Another Melodic New Song “Absolve”
Remember when The Contortionist were heavy?
That era is goooooone!
We’ve now heard two songs from the band’s forthcoming album Clairvoyant, and they’re both super melodic. The latest one has barely a distorted guitar.
Not that we’re complaining. Both songs are absolutely fantastic! But we’re sure there’s a segment of the band’s fanbase that’s pissed. ‘Cause internet metal nerds gonna rage.

“Sorrow and Madness”: Marty Friedman Releases New Track with Jinxx from Black Veil Brides
I’m having some weird computer issues today, and I can’t seem to get the new Marty Friedman song, “Sorrow and Madness,” to load. But it’s Marty Friedman, so I assume it’s good, despite featuring Jinxx from Black Veil Brides.

Wintersun Post Entire New Song “Awaken From the Dark Slumber”
Wintersun’s €750,000 new album The Forest Seasons is finally out.

It’s just difficult for me to take the whole thing seriously, because a) why do patient…

Watch Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell Perform Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike” Together in 2008
The links between Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell’s suicides are chilling. Coming within two months of one another, both hung themselves from door frames, and while that alone isn’t too striking — according to Lost All Hope, hanging is the second most popular method of suicide in the U.S., accounting for 24.8% of suicides in 2012 — the fact that the two were friends certainly makes you…
