THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER continues to tour in support of their critically adored tenth studio album, Servitude, released in 2024 via Metal Blade Records. “At a brisk thirty-three minutes, there’s no real fat, just a collection of raging riffs and solid gold grooves that never overstays its welcome…,” lauded Blabbermouth. “Whether wallowing in grim, doomy waters on ‘Mammoth’s Hand,’ or blasting away like some crazed, nihilistic army of intergalactic ghouls on ‘Transcosmic Blueprint’ and climactic hook avalanche ‘Utopia Black,’ this is an album that nobly delivers the goods, while screaming defiance at the stars. Everybody involved should be immensely proud.” Metal Injection accurately hailed a record of, “fucking killer death metal,” Distorted Sound crowned THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, “one of melodeath’s greatest, most consistent bands,” while Kerrang wrote, “…the release of Servitude faces down existential concerns with determination and defiance.” Added Last Rites, “Servitude doesn’t feel like a debut because it’s unpolished or full of missteps; it feels like a debut because it’s brimming with a fresh energy and feels like it's only hinting at what could be in store.

Forged in 1996 by Swedish guitar hero Michael Amott, ARCH ENEMY has spent three decades carving out a singular legacy at the intersection of extremity and melody. ARCH ENEMY quickly evolved into one of the defining forces of modern extreme metal with their razor-edged riffing, twin-guitar leads and anthemic songwriting that has carried the band from underground acclaim to global festival dominance. Across a formidable catalogue of eleven studio albums — from the cult-classic Black Earth (1996) to genre milestones like Wages of Sin (2001) and the arena-conquering works of the 2000s — ARCH ENEMY has continuously reshaped their sound without compromising its core intensity. A defining aspect of their evolution has been the succession of charismatic frontwomen: Angela Gossow's revolutionary arrival in 2001 helped break gender barriers in extreme metal, while her successor Alissa White-Gluz fronted the band through a highly successful era, delivering critically acclaimed releases such as War Eternal (2014), Will To Power (2017), Deceivers (2022), and 2025's Blood Dynasty. Relentless touring and an unwavering commitment to technical precision have cemented ARCH ENEMY as one of metal's most enduring live acts, a band whose identity has remained anchored by Amott's vision even as lineups shifted around him. Now, in 2026, ARCH ENEMY enters a bold new chapter: The band has unveiled former Once Human vocalist Lauren Hart as their new frontwoman, ushering in a revitalized era. Their latest single, "To The Last Breath," serves as both a statement of intent and rebirth while retaining the band's trademark ferocity by introducing a fresh vocal dynamic. With a renewed lineup, big European Summer festival appearances and a lengthy North American tour announced for the fall, ARCH ENEMY stand poised once again to redefine their own legacy — louder, sharper, and more unyielding than ever.

Buster Posey Just Drew A Line In The Sand

Sports reporters tried to lay an absolute trap for Buster Posey over his players' personal choices. They expected an immediate corporate apology—but they didn't get one. This standoff just exposed exactly how broken the relationship between sports media and real fans actually is.

Let's not pretend the media actually cared about baseball during this press conference. They came looking for a very specific, headline-ready quote to crucify an executive and alienate traditional fans. When Buster Posey shut down the narrative by sticking strictly to the game, he didn't just protect his locker room—he exposed the entire corporate playbook. We break down the exact moment the media realized they weren't getting their apology, why sports culture is being cannibalized by corporate sponsorships, and how the entire ...

Why Is Eddie Trunk Losing His Mind Over Gene Simmons Again? (2017)

Eddie Trunk finally hit his breaking point with Gene Simmons, and it is a glorious, shrill disaster. Gene did his usual routine—complaining about file-sharing from a decade ago to justify why he won't put out a new record—and Eddie completely lost his composure on live radio. We break down the exact moment Eddie realized he's totally irrelevant to the Kiss camp, plus the embarrassing moment a caller "stumped" Eddie with a piece of Van Halen trivia that literally everyone else has known since 2001.

This Is Why You Never Trust An Underground Operation

It feels like common sense is completely dead. Multiple operators look a person right in the face, help them prep for a massive risk, and completely fail at the only job they actually had. It makes you wonder what's really happening behind the scenes of these sketchy, underground setups.

Something unexpected is happening with this new best-of release...

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming Night Ranger release, BEST OF NIGHT RANGER, and it’s creating a really great debate among the fans. A lot of people aren't sure what to make of a career-spanning collection that leans so heavily into the band's recent history, but the reaction has taken a surprisingly positive turn.

 

 

Instead of just looking backward, listeners are discovering that the energy this band has kept alive in the studio over the last 15 years is the real deal. Keyboardist Eric Levy opens up about stepping into a legendary legacy and finding a way to keep the music moving forward without losing that classic arena rock soul. Some fans think this era might actually rival their biggest years, while others are just starting to realize how much great music they've missed out on.
