The Hell have cultivated such a great online presence via social media, that you’d almost get a pass for not being that familiar with their music and thinking they’re nothing more than online provocateurs.

While Skeletonwitch wasn’t listed for the Orlando date of their tour with Amon Amarth and Enslaved when it was announced, the band is saying on Facebook they were actually banned from the happiest place on earth. Disney reportedly would not allow the thrash metal outfit to play the January 27 date at the House of […]

First the bad news: As you’ve probably ascertained from the headline, even though Mastodon had gone into the studio to record music for the forthcoming Pixar movie Monsters University, it turns out that there won’t be any new music from the band in the film or on the soundtrack after all. On the plus side, […]
