In this latest episode of Loudwire’s ‘Gear Factor,’ Nile‘s George Kollias plays his favorite drum parts, from first being inspired to pick up the sticks to the latest with the Egyptian-themed death metal legends. For 20 years, Kollias has commanded the drum throne in Nile, debuting on 2005’s outstanding Annihilation of the Wicked. Regarded as one of the world’s best extreme metal drummers, his talents are now spread across seven Nile records, the latest being The Underworld Awaits Us All. His remarkable endurance, precision and sheer speed, of course, is the result of tireless practice and a l...

Here are Megadeth‘s six best songs released in the 21st century. The thrash legends have been, by far, the most prolific among the ‘Big 4′ with a 16-album catalog that includes eight 21st century LPs. By comparison, Slayer have released 12 records with Anthrax and Metallica at 11 apiece. Despite the turnover in personnel, which Megadeth also hold a ‘Big 4′ record for, visionary and leader Dave Mustaine has always managed to keep things moving. Until the release of 2022’s The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead!, the group had never taken more than three years between album. And that latest record wa...

You may not immediately connect the Toyota Prius with metal or rock and roll, but for System of a Down‘s Serj Tankian, the car is a huge reason why fans are hearing new solo music from him this year. “I had this old Prius that I kept around, even though I wasn’t driving it,” Tankian explained to Loudwire Nights host Chuck Armstrong on Tuesday (Aug. 20). “It was the only thing that would verify my mixes in my studio. I desperately wanted to sell it because I was burning out of batteries all the time. I kept on changing the batteries because I never would drive it.” The desire to sell the car pu...

Those Kelce brothers are at it again as the NFL stars’ beer company — Garage Beer — has given another nod to metal, this time ripping off nu-metal legends Korn on a new merch item. Earlier this summer, Garage Beer unveiled a dripping death metal-styled logo with a caption that read, “It’s pronounced Garage Beer.” Now, Garage Beer is tipping its hat to Korn with a black corduroy hat with the company’s name spelled out in the font used by the nu-metal pioneers. While Garage Beer and Korn only bear one letter in common, it’s that signature backwards “R” that is the absolute giveaway, if there was...

New Megadeth guitarist Teemu Mantysaari shared a rough timeline for the band’s next album release. Mantysaari was initially revealed as a fill-in for Kiko Loureiro last September, but it appears that he’s in the band for the long haul now. During a conversation wit John The Metal Mailman, the guitarist confirmed that he’s been an official member of the thrash group since last November, and discussed their plans for the follow-up to 2022’s The Sick… The Dying… And the Dead!. “Right now everybody’s gathering their own riff ideas, and then, at some point, we’re gonna put them together and probabl...

Who doesn’t love a truly unhinged meltdown? Well we’ve got some supremely unhinged moments in rock and metal that left people buzzing when they were complete. Some of these moments include truly epic rants, like the times that Iron Maiden‘s Blaze Bayley and Cannibal Corpse‘s Corpsegrinder were ready to throw down over audience interference in their shows. Corpsegrinder even told the audience, “You don’t have to worry about security. I’m my own security. I’ll beat you fucking to death and throw you in the sewers.” Other times the unhinged moments were just signs of frustration, like Rage Agains...

Falling in Reverse‘s headlining tour with Dance Gavin Dance, Black Veil Brides and Tech N9ne kicked off last night (Aug. 18), and the band debuted a few songs from their new album Popular Monster.

They opened the performance with “Prequel,” the first track on Popular Monster, and finished out the night with “Ronald.” Tech N9ne came out for the closer, as he made a guest appearance on the studio version. Two other songs from the record, “Bad Guy” and “All My Life,” made it onto the setlist as...

When Metallica played on Saturday night of Woodstock ’94, they opened and closed their 15-song set with cover songs. The band’s stock was still soaring, even three years removed from their most recent album at the time, which happened to be 1991’s self-titled affair better known as “The Black Album.” Sandwiched between Nine Inch Nails, whose mud-caked set is one of the most historic across all Woodstock festival editions, and rock ‘n’ roll legends Aerosmith, Metallica delivered a memorable performance lined with nothing but classics.

Here is the first song with clean vocals by 10 extreme metal bands who never used them at first! As metal fans, we often like our music to be overpoweringly vicious in every respect, with a non-negotiable feature being the gnarliest growls, croaks, snarls, screeches, gurgles and bleghs! That’s why it can be so controversial when certain bands start incorporating some – or all – clean singing. Eventually, though, even the most ferocious artists will probably decide to add softer singing to their repertoire (whether subtly or overtly).
