Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 over the weekend? You probably did, as it made a ridiculous $145 million this weekend. And given that people really enjoyed it, some will probably go back to see it again. And if you’re a Mindless Self Indulgence fan, you probably noticed Jimmy Urine with a pretty sizable […]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. If you thought that Opeth’s continued avoidance of their death metal roots would hurt album sales, you’d be wrong. While Sorceress didn’t sell as much as Heritage did in its first week, it did sell more than […]

The 2016 election is just a little over a month away, and after watching last week’s debate, you’re probably wondering who you can trust to give you straight talk about who should be our next President.

In a moment that many were waiting for as soon as the Broncos won the Super Bowl back in February, tonight the NFL season kicks off, which is a sure sign of fall being here. Perhaps the sport with the most passionate fans, and definitely the most metal sport besides perhaps hockey, many will be […]

Richard Christy is the drummer of Charred Walls of the Damned and a writer/producer on the Howard Stern show. 2015 was a pretty metal year in my life with so many great new albums from new and classic metal bands, many great new horror films like Bone Tomahawk and Deathgasm, and tons of great new […]

Whether it’s his role on the Howard Stern show, behind the kit in Charred Walls of the Damned, or his comedy rock opera cartoon Majestic Loincloth, Richard Christy is a busy man. He’s also a man that likes to drink, so in lieu of a list of the music he listened to this year, he provided […]

After last week’s In Defense Of was published, I got to thinking, and I realized that a lot of the bigger bands have periods in their discography that are nearly universally hated by metal fans at large.
