Welcome to What Are You Playing?, a new feature where we’ll be exploring the world of video games. Each week, we’ll be asking a notable artist what game or games they’re playing. We start things off with legendary GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus, who enjoys killing Nazi Zombies in Call of Duty. We also asked him about […]

The Acacia Strain were extremely lucky to walk away from a horrific van accident without any serious injuries. Unfortunately, it forced them to drop off their co-headlining tour with Veil of Maya, and both their van and their trailer were totaled. While they plan on getting back on the road next year, they’re in a […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Y0cy-nvAg[/youtube]As anyone with an Internet connection knows, the Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch, aka MCA, passed away earlier today at the age of 47 after a battle with cancer. There’s really nothing to say. The trio were one of rap’s best-known bands, but also beloved by fans of any genre. To pay tribute to Yauch, here’s […]

Metal Insider’s Top 5 is a column where we count down the top five of…well basically anything. Combining metal and video games is the most peanut butter/chocolate combinations ever. Both relatively appeal to younger males (and cool females, just sayin’). It’s also a way to brand a game as edgier than, say, Pokemon. While the inclusion of […]

According to prosthetic makeup artist Kevin Kirkpatrick, it is. And while the two buttmunches look pretty scary in their crudely-animated TV series, they look downright terrifying rendered as actual people.

Beavis and Butt-head love GWAR. In fact, not only did they watch several of their videos on the show’s original run, the band even played a major part in the B&B video game. So who better to judge (no pun intended) the return of Beavis and Butt-head to MTV than Oderus Urungus himself? FUCK! I […]

Tonight marks the end of a long wait: new episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head on TV. We’ve enjoyed the teaser clips we’ve seen so far, and were pleased to hear creator Mike Judge say that the show will still feature a few hard rock videos. In a new interview with Time Out New York, though, […]

We’ve been pretty vocal about how excited we are for Beavis And Butt-Head’s return to television. And while we’ve been finding the previews and trailers for its return hysterical, we also couldn’t help but notice how the sneak peeks lack anything metal related. We knew that the show would be making fun of reality TV […]
