With less than a week until the kick off of the 3rd portion of the Hatebreed's newest album tour, "The Divinity Of Purpose", fear not because they still has several VIP packages available for purchase. Do not get caught sleeping on this one or you might regret it! Visit this website today while VIP tickets are still available at a show coming near you.
The VIP package is more than worth it and is jam packed with a concert-entry ticket, a Hatebreed drawstring bag, a water bottle, a sticker, a signed copy of Outburn Magazine, a signed poster, a limited edition laminate & cd sampler, but there could be some more goodies as well like 8x10's, guitar picks, etc. It's a killer deal! Plus you get to meet the band & get a photo w/ them after the show.
General admission tickets for "The Divinity of Purpose" tour are available here.
Mayhem Festival was incredible this year. We met a lot of people, saw many bands, and got a lot of work done. From interviewing metal icons to standing in front of 8,000+ people, not to mention moshing like some mad men, it was pretty much unforgettable for our team. Thanks to Mayhem Fest and all the great people behind it.
Here's our full recap of the day. Look below for interviews with Mastodon, Born of Osiris, and Battlecross. You'll also see our photo gallery (unfortunately we had to miss Mastodon, Machine Head, and Children of Bodom due to our tight schedule...). We should have ALL of our pictures up on our Facebook page very soon...
Mayhem Festival was insanity this year. Here are the pictures to prove it.
Unfortunately we missed Mastodon, Machine Head, and Children of Bodom due to our tight schedule but we did manage to cover heavy hitters like Amon Amarth, Born Of Osiris, Job For A Cowboy, Battlecross, and more! We also grabbed shots from the headliners Rob Zombie and Five Finger Death Punch. Look through the gallery below.
We had the chance to catch up with Don Slater from Battlecross at this years Mayhem Festival in Camden, NJ. Good, talented dude. We talked about all kinds of stuff during the interview from the music to the meaning of life. Watch and learn.
Also included some awesome, thrashy tunes from the latest Battlecross album "War Of Will". Mosh!
Every year thousands of people migrate to Texas for music and festivities at South By So What?! This year's lineup (so far) has been advertised via flyers at Mayhem Festival and Warped Tour and segments of the festival's official pages. There seems to be a good mix of bands coming out. Check 'em below.
This year's second edition of the festival will take place at LaGrave Field in Fort Worth, TX on October 25th-26th. Should be ridiculously fun.

Another Tuesday, another group of notable new releases. Check em out.
Thrash metallers Battlecross are back with what so far sounds like another awesome release. Thrashing riffs, killer, gritty vocals, awesome guitar melodies and shred and overall solid songwriting are what makes these guys worth the listen. Thrashy, headbang inducing and fun are the best ways I could describe Battlecross’ music. Just check it out, it’s definitely worth it.
And now for something totally different. Rise Records melodic metalcore/post hardcore band Like Moths to Flames are releasing their sophomore record “An Eye for an Eye” today. This record isn’t really my thing, and feels definitely more melodic and less hard hitting than their first album, but the band definitely has some upside. The riffs, when they’re present, are pretty solid and heavy and I definitely enjoy them. I don’t feel like there are way too many breakdowns, but I didn’t really dig into their new or old material. And the singer is also more manly than most Rise singers. That’s a plus. Also they wrote the lyrics “I don’t give a fuck about the way you’re feeling.” That’s cool. Check this out if it’s your thing.
Last up is the newest release from grimy death metal band Coffins. The quartet’s fourth album is due out today. The title is “The Fleshland” and it definitely is one of the heavier, slower and sludgier death metal releases I’ve heard so far this year. I have to be honest, I’ve never really delved into any Japanese metal at all and I seemed to have missed out with Coffins. Their sludgy, grimy take on death metal honestly is very compelling and keeps me listening much more effectively than a lot of their contemporaries. I’m excited for this one. Check out the stream below and pick this one up.
