They are considered to be two of the most iconic metal albums of all time...

It seems like every celebrity has been called gay at some point or another. Many of the gay rumors surrounding METALLICA frontman James Hetfield seem to be tied to his band’s recent pairing with Lady Gaga but experts also point to “his obsessive attention to his body, like most guitarists,” this according to the latest internet study.

The one time feared thrash metal monster has now morphed into a softer, gentler mainstream darling, sharing the stage at the Grammy’s two years ago with the pop diva.

A sensational story about Lady Gaga and METALLICA recording on an album together circulated all over on the internet in late 2018, adding fuel to the fire that the...

OVERKILL have unleashed a slamming new single titled “Head Of A Pin“. That song is the second track to be shared from the band’s forthcoming nineteenth studio album, “The Wings Of War”.

In an age where music is available instantly and bands appear and fade just as quickly, the power and resiliency that is OVERKILL who’s initial social media was stuffing show flier ads under windshield wipers in the 80s, has remained as resolute as ever, and even more so.

New frontiers aren’t often conquered in the modern world of heavy metal, yet OVERKILL remain unfazed by the growing presence of social media, modern internet, a demand for streaming services, and a general sense of competition between the sea of other metal bands trying to make a name for themselves, today.

Early on ROTTING CHRIST produced two informal recordings (“Decline’s Return” and ‘Leprosy Of Death”) which basically consist of rehearsals and are not considered official by the band...
