Mayhem

The Enslaved founding guitarist talks about the songs by Bathory, Ulver, Entombed, The Residents, Pink Floyd, Steve Reich, and more that have been getting him through this year. Enslaved's new album arrives in October.

COVID-19 has us washing our hands more than ever, and if you're looking to make your personal cleansing regimen a little more metal, we've found some soap for you.

Puscifer and Dropkick Murphys are among the new additions to Hellfest 2021, which mostly mirrors the 2020 lineup that didn't happen.

The 2021 lineup is almost exactly the same as it would've been this year, with 80 of the 83 bands originally booked returning.

A roundup of all the metal tours impacted by COVID-19, also including Code Orange, Rotting Christ, Sepultura, YOB, Killswitch Engage, and more...

The Seattle and San Francisco stops on the 2020 Decibel Tour -- which was to feature Mayhem, Abbath, Gatecreeper and Idle Hands -- had already been canceled due to the coronavirus, but now the whole the tour has been scrapped, one day before it was set to begin in Denver.

Both tour stops have been cancelled as large gathering bans have been enacted in each city. Meanwhile, Mayhem drummer Hellhammer won't be making it out on tour this time, either, due to a shoulder injury.

New additions also include HEALTH, Obituary, TSOL, Crowbar, Exhorder, Wolves In The Throne Room, Eyehategod, Pig Destroyer, Repulsion, Immolation, Intronaut, Khemmis, Creeping Death, Midnight, Wino, Zola Jesus, Lower Dens, and more...

Emperor, who just played the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise yesterday, are ”rumored” to play their first-announced US show (on land) in years.

Brutus and This Will Destroy You are also among the new additions to this increasingly stacked festival.
