Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. People often talk about how bad thing come in threes, but this week it seems good things come in twos: two newer bands putting out their respective sophomore albums, two bands with decade long […]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. I really thought we were going to see Nightwish take the top spot this week but apparently Hollywood Undead made an album too. I attribute my lack of foresight to not thinking about Hollywood […]

What to do when your favorite band breaks up? Most people mourn a bit, then respect the band’s legacy by letting their influence live on via their music.

Last year for Scott Ian’s birthday, the Anthrax guitarist assembled an all-star lineup to play music by one of his favorite bands, Mother Superior. The little-known band served as the Rollins Band’s backing musicians from 1997-2003.
