Let’s go! The new ‘Knot have just ripped us a new one. Slipknot have just delivered surprise single, the raging “Arsenal.” It’s the band’s first release with drummer Eloy Casagrande, who joined in 2024, and likewise their first song to be released since the departure of longtime turntablist Sid Wilson earlier this summer. It may feature the as-yet-unidentified, masked percussionist who has been touring with the band since 2023. And it arrives three years on

Neurosis will be bringing their Undying Love to life on-stage throughout the fall and into the new year. The venerated post-metal faction have confirmed another batch of concert appearances that will bring them out to both coasts of the U.S. We’d already known about the two-night stand taking place next month at the Fillmore in San Francisco, California. Both of those shows have since sold out. Today (September 9th), they revealed plans to perform at Brooklyn’s Warsaw venue on October 30th

Mastodon tried to knock one out of Truist Park last night while leading Atlanta Braves fans through a rousing — if oddly off-kilter — version of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”. The seventh inning stretch ritual found the members of Mastodon — drummer Brann Dailor, bassist Troy Sanders, guitarists Bill Kelliher and Nick Johnston, and keyboardist João Nogueira — sporting Braves jerseys while standing on top of a dugout with mics in hand. This included Toronto native Johnston, who you’d fig

System of a Down’s discography is about as tight and revered as they come. The alt-metal juggernaut hasn’t released an album since 2005’s Hypnotize, which capped a remarkable five-album run. Yet, even within such a beloved catalog, 2001’s Toxicity stands apart as their almost-undisputed best. Though the group’s 1998 self-titled debut album was kaleidoscopic in its own right, sophomore effort Toxicity entered the millennium with an even more ambitious exploration of metal, punk, folk and

Jay Weinberg is making up for lost time. The former Slipknot and Suicidal Tendencies drummer just put out a heavy collaborative track with Coliseum vocalist Ryan Patterson called “Another Head on the Pile.” It’s the fourth single he’s released since he began teasing an in-the-works “anti-solo project” in 2025 — songs that have him playing most instruments, yet joined by a rotating cast of vocalists including Deafheaven’s George Clarke, Code Orange’s Jami Morgan, and the members of

Pantera are making their way back to NOLA, with the current iteration of the groove-metal masters set to headline a new two-day festival in New Orleans, Louisiana called “The Great NOLA Trendkill.” Better yet, the lineup also feature brothers-in-arms Down, Corrosion of Conformity, Black Label Society, Crowbar and more. The fest is set to go down November 20th and 21st at the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana, and it will mark Pantera’s first show in the area since their promo run

Spiritbox have hardly been quiet since unleashing their acclaimed Tsunami Sea album last March, but today (September 7th) they offered up their first new single since that LP’s release in the form of the surprise song and music video “Mourning.” The last year has been a busy one for Courtney LaPlante and Co. between high-profile tours (with Korn and Evanescence, among others) and high-profile collabs (with Poppy and Amy Lee, BABYMETAL, ILLENIUM and more). Later this mon

Slayer let it reign over the weekend, having kicked off their series of 40th anniversary gigs behind landmark thrash attack Reign in Blood at Shakopee, Minnesota’s Mystic Lake Amphitheater. Last Friday’s (September 4th) bloody spectacle featured opening sets from Down, Suicidal Tendencies and Hatebreed. And then Slayer performed a double-sized set — a full-length performance of various Slaytanic cuts, and then a front-to-black rip through 1986’s Reign in Blood. Backed by humongou

Are you the next in line to get fucked up by Carrie Underwood’s rap-rockin’ sound? The American Idol veteran went full Durst over the weekend, brandishing a backwards red baseball cap in-concert while bursting through Limp Bizkit’s “Break Stuff,” along with a couple of other nu-metal hits. Underwood’s show at Dyersville, Iowa’s Field of Dreams last Saturday night (September 5th) was part of the Velocity Festival. She showed up a day early to the grounds to catch Shinedown, reporting so in

Here at Revolver, we’re always on the hunt for new songs to bang our heads to — indeed, it’s a big part of our jobs. With that in mind, here are the tracks released this week in mournful metalcore, savage deathcore, hellish powerviolence and more that have been on heavy rotation at Revolver HQ. For your listening pleasure, we’ve also compiled the songs in an ever-evolving Spotify playlist.

Drummer Jay Weinberg has leveled into another song from his ongoing singles series. Following team-ups with members of Deafheaven, NOWHERE2RUN and Softcult, he’s now tasked Coliseum and Fotocrime member Ryan Patterson with the heavy duty of delivering growls and guitars on new tune “Another Head on the Pile.” And damn…does he oblige. Weinberg and Patterson had teased the arrival of “Another Head on the Pile” earlier in the week over socials, via posts of them posed together that were captione

Wake up! We’ve just hit the silver anniversary of System of a Down’s revolutionary Toxicity, the musically eccentric and politically powerful sophomore album that cemented SOAD’s reputation as one of the greats. With the album having been released 25 years ago today (September 4th), the band have announced a new vinyl pressing that comes with a bonus 7-inch. The latest edition of Toxicity showcases the original album — featuring classic tracks like “Aerials,” “Deer Dance” and “Chop Suey!” The

Welcome back to hell. Extreme-metal veterans Behemoth unleashed their new I, Scvlptor album today (September 4th), and it finds Adam “Nergal” Darski raising cane with Dimmu Borgir vocalist Shagrath on a horns-raising cover of Venom’s unholy occult-metal classic, “In League with Satan.” Nergal and Shagroth teased the song earlier this week with a few clips from a new music video, which finds them tag-team growling Venom bassist Cronos’ original tale of full-moon fever. While it’s not exactl

Wage War are using the emergency broadcast system to announce their next album. The Floridian metalcore veterans confirm that they’re bringing  more songs out of the swamp this fall, and they’re teasing their upcoming Landfall album with the pummeling title cut. The new song puts you on guard up front with a high-pitched emergency broadcast drone. The intro builds with a bit of a tempo psych-out, twitching itself through a firy drum-and-bass sample before lunging into more mosh-pummeled

Sleep are looking a little different these days — only vocalist-bassist Al Cisneros remains from the original lineup — but the long-revered stoner outfit have suited up to boot back into dank and doomy terrain. Following a pair of tripped-out singles, they’ve formally launched their first album in eight years, Hempispheres. As previously reported, Hempispheres is the first Sleep release to not feature founding riff-slinger and High on Fire leader Matt Pike. The trio currently comprises Cisner

Three years on from the tragic passing of Polaris guitarist Ryan Siew, the surviving members of the long-running Australian metalcore outfit have delivered a song in their fallen bandmate’s honor. Dubbed “Without You,” their tribute is likewise the first song from Polaris since Siew’s death. A press release explains that the new track finds the outfit “at the crossroads of grief and exhilarating sonic potency,” and indeed, on “Without You,” the band explores loss, survivor’s guilt

Rising deathcore beasts Rev3rent have unleashed another gore-forward explosion of sound, with their second blasted-and-bree’d single of 2026 being the title cut to their newly-announced debut album, She Let the World Run Rampant. The California sextet get down to business quick, fully pummeling speakers with manic bursts of drums, soul-slicing riffs and beyond-the-brink vocal extremism from teenage vocalist Josh Bailey Guard. The song also swerves through heavy breakdowns and brings out

1996 was a wild and impactful year. Scream brought on a slasher renaissance — thrilling and chilling a future theatri-core bandleader with its influential meta-horror. It was also the year where Will Smith wrapped up his TV career to go full action hero in Independence Day. That said, that same summer ushered in the international domination of the Spice Girls. KISS brough back the make-up for a hotter than hell reunion tour, while Diamond Dave rejoined Van Halen at the MTV Music Awards — a

Suffer no longer, Darkest Hour have announced they have a new album on the way. To tease their impending 11th studio full-length, the D.C. metalcore vets just delivered its blistering title track: “Suffer Divine.” The new song is Darkest Hour’s first piece of new music since they released their Perpetual Terminal album in 2024. They quicky lunge into a thrash-intensified pace full of furious riffage and all-teeth, old testament antagonism from vocalist John Henry (“I hope you pay for all t

A Place to Kill — the heavy industrial duo comprising Richard Patrick of Filter and Jim Louvau of There Is No Us — are on a tear. Hot on the heels of their debut EP, June’s APTK, they’re unleashed a new single, the slow-burning but ultimately explosive “Something Inside of Me,” and its stark music video. Notably, the visual — directed by Tony Aguilar — captures Patrick and Louvau is high-contrast black and white, a striking
