Soundgarden are about to make good on a “correction” they’ve long sought. The band will deliver a newly remixed and expanded reissue of their Grammy-nominated full-length debut disc, Ultramega OK.

The band initially recorded the album for SST Records, but were never really quite happy with the final mix of the disc and had intended to remix the album for subsequent pressings, but after singing a deal with A&M and starting work on Louder Than Love, they never got around to that planned remix. Now, just shy of 30 years later, the band will reissue Ultramega OK with a fresh remix.

In 2016, the band finally acquired the original multi-track tapes from the Ultramega OK sessions and found time to dig into the project...

The rapidly growing Rock USA is returning again to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In its seventh year, Rock USA is bigger now than it has ever been before, with superstars like OZZY OSBOURNE, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, SLAYER and KORN taking the stage July 13-15.

“Last year was a pivotal point in the history of this festival,” says Derek Liebhauser, promoter of Rock USA. “We made some big decisions to enhance the overall festival experience for our fan. The response has been overwhelming for us.” Things like adding bands, shortening breaks, lengthening sets, and honing in on the talent mix are among the changes that have driven this festival into its rapid growth.

Additionally, in 2017, Rock USA is curating a brand new food and beverage experience for the festival in partnership with Southern Hospitality Co...

METALLICA’s James Hetfield has narrated a new documentary which takes a sobering look at the impact pornography addiction is having on the individual and on cultures around the world.

“Addicted To Porn: Chasing The Cardboard Butterfly” is the fifth feature-length film, and fourth documentary, from writer-director Justin Hunt, who previously interviewed Hetfield for his award-winning documentary “Absent”, exploring the worldwide crisis of absent and disengaged fathers and the negative impact that the “father wound” makes on society.

In “Addicted To Porn: Chasing The Cardboard Butterfly”, Hunt dissects the impact of pornography on societies around the globe, from how it affects the brain of the individual, to how modern technology leads to greater exposure to youth, to watching it tear a fa...

Robinsons Brewery and IRON MAIDEN have unveiled a strong new look for their multi award-winning Trooper beer ahead of an exciting year for the brand.

The beer, created by Robinsons and IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson, has been a runaway success, selling over 15 million pints worldwide since its launch in May 2013 and spawning two limited-edition beers — Trooper 666 and last year’s Trooper Red ‘N’ Black porter.

John Robinson, brands manager for Robinsons Brewery, said: “Trooper is a true British success story. Since launching, we’ve reached millions of beer lovers and music fans in over 50 countries and, in the process, helped to fly the flag for British ale in global markets. Most recently we have exported the beer to new territories as far afield as Bosnia, Guatemala, and Ukraine...

Horror icon Bill Moseley — most notable as Chop Top in “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2”, and Otis in Rob Zombie’s “House Of 1000 Corpses” and “Devil’s Rejects” — recently joined forces with extreme music legend Philp H. Anselmo (DOWN, PANTERA, SUPERJOINT, SCOUR, PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS, ARSON ANTHEM) for a very special collaborative release titled “Songs Of Darkness And Despair”.

Due on January 20 via Anselmo’s own Housecore Records, the five-track offering was produced and performed by Anselmo and Stephen “The Big Fella” Berrigan (DOWN, SYK, PHILIP H. ANSELMO & THE ILLEGALS, EYEHATEGOD, HAARP, CLASSHOLE), and mastered by Scott Hull of Visceral Sound.

“Songs Of Darkness And Despair” includes guest appearances by Kevin Bond (SUPERJOINT) on guitar, Squizzy Squires (KING PARROT) on...

METALLICA was joined by Lang Lang during the band’s January 18 concert at LeSports Center in Beijing.

As expected, the Chinese concert pianist played METALLICA’s classic song “One” from the “…And Justice For All” album.

Fan-filmed video footage of Lang Lang’s appearance can be seen below.

METALLICA previously performed the track with Lang Lang in January 2014 at the 56th annual Grammy Awards.

In announcing its collaboration with Lang Lang at the Beijing concert, METALLICA called their joint appearance at the Grammy Awards three years ago “one of the most creative, unique performances of our career.”

Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich told ABC News Radio about how METALLICA’s collaboration with Lang Lang came about: “METALLICA’s manager was in China and he met with a guy who prese...

The official lyric video for “Built To Last”, the title track of the tenth studio album from Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL, can be seen below. The disc was released on November 4 via Napalm Records.

HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak: “We wanted to do something simple yet effective, so we recorded this in my studio during tour rehearsals. The computer effects give the video a really cool and unique atmosphere, and we’re super pleased with how it turned out!”

HAMMERFALL kicked off a European headlining tour on January 12 in Bremen, Germany. A North American trek with DELAIN will launch in April.

Drummer David Wallin recently left HAMMERFALL in order to focus on his family life. He has since been replaced by Johan Koleberg, formerly of THERION and LION’S SHARE.

Oscar recently told D...
