On Thursday’s Loudwire Nights (May 23), Mike’s Dead joined Chuck Armstrong to dive deep into the wild new music video for his equally wild song, “Bestrafe Mich (Punish Me).” “I put a bunch of different references in when we came up with this one,” Mike’s Dead explained to Chuck. “I helped write the treatments, I helped come up with the concept…I’m incredibly neurotic and have a lot of ideas.” Some of the references fans may notice in the video include a nod to Mad Max: Fury Road and GHOSTEMANE as well as the influence of a couple of Rammstein music videos. “We kept slowly getting weirder and w...

Wer sich vergeblich ein neues Album von Linkin Park wünscht, kann sich nun auf «POST HUMAN: NeX GEn» von Bring Me The Horizon (BMTH) freuen. Zwischen Metalcore und Alternative Rock laden 16 energiegeladene Songs zum Headbangen ein. Dabei sind die Themen gewohnt düster: Es geht um Gewalt, Macht und Tod - aber auch um Liebe. Wer sich darauf einlässt, wird von der Platte positiv überrascht. Denn BMTH ist alles andere als eine klassische Metalband. Die Texte sind klug und der Sound poppig. Das Gesicht der vierköpfigen Gruppe ist Oli Sykes (37), ein bunt tätowierter Frauenschwarm mit Drogenvergange...

Bad Omens have just canceled their summer tour plans in Europe and the U.K. and have issued a statement from singer Noah Sebastian. Citing “extreme burnout” and the grind of the latest album cycle pushing him “to the limits of my mental bandwidth,” as two of the driving factors behind the decision, the singer was candid with his words. “Putting my mind and body in conflict with one another in ways that are becoming detrimental to my health on the road,” is another one of Sebastian’s reasonings. He urges that this decision was made “after heavy consideration” and that maintaining his mental wel...

Apple Music has completed its 10-day rollout of their 100 Best Albums list and it only features one metal album. Fortunately, there’s quite a lot of rock on the list to help ease the pain. As much as we all may be dismayed by the results, heavy metal being snubbed is something we’ve all grown accustomed to. It’s just something we must accept, whether it’s from our own institutions (the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) or mainstream music organizations ranging from the Grammys to tech companies. The One Metal AlbumOne silver lining is that Apple Music’s lone metal pick is an irrefutable classic — Me...
