Of all the shows that Tool is playing this Summer, the Glen Helen Amphitheater shows in Southern California was already the biggest show on the tour. While the quartet are playing some festival shows in New York and Boston, this show, featuring Primus, Melvins and The Crystal Method, was practically them headlining their own festival. […]

The stoner rock band’s album tells a story about an intergalactic time traveling being called The Traveller and is inspired by the Conan series style of writing. With that in mind, singer/guitarist Martin Bush made a playlist of his favorite Sci-Fi- […]

One of the highlights of last year’s Orion Fest was watching Sepultura‘s set. Derrick Green has gotten slagged because he’s not Max Cavalera, but they’re still a vital band with an amazing back catalogue. And now they have arguably the most famous metal drummer of the last 30 years helping out on their album. Andreas Kisser […]

Last night, Tomahawk played Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where they ran through “White Hats/Black Hats” from Oddfellows, their first album in six years. While we’d hesitate to call them a supergroup, that’s perhaps the best way to describe a band featuring Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle), Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard), John Stanier (Helmet), […]

As you know, Mike Patton loves to keep himself busy with various projects, including a few film scores. So it wasn’t a complete shock when one of his other bands Tomahawk, also featuring ex-The Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison and Battles/ex-Helmet drummer John Stanier, revealed via Facebook last November that a new album was on […]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HNkrBKV83c[/youtube] Is there anything Mike Patton can’t do? He automatically gains respect for Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. But not many artists can pull off singing in an avant-garde metal supergroup like Fantomas AND release an Italian rock-meets-orchestra project like Mondo Cane.
