  Mastodon and Opeth both released albums in 2011 that would prove to be incredibly divisive, so it makes perfect sense that the two are joining up for what I shall dub the "Blabbermouth Hates Us Now" tour. Coming along for the tour are masked Swedes Ghost. Mastodon is touring behind their well-received album The Hunter, and Opeth in support of their prog-rock departure Heritage. Check the Heritage Hunter Tour at one of the following dates:

  Feist finally graced us with her first new studio album since 2007 late last year with the wonderful Metals. While the Canadian singer-songwriter played a few dates through North America last fall, she will be conquering the globe in 2012 with stops scheduled in Australia, Indonesia, Europe, and North America. This trip won't be short on festival stops either as Laneway Festival, Coachella, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Oya Festival, Way Out West, and Green Man Festival all have her lined up to play. Check out all of the... ...[read more]

  In the wake of the ill-fated SNL debacle (and despite the pending release of her upcoming album), Lana Del Rey’s projected hot streak has seemingly cooled. I could easily make jabs at her SNL performance; I could mock her embarrassing warbling or narcoleptic stage presence. But I'd rather talk about something more fascinating than her shockingly bad performance: the massive reaction that follow the event. Lana's show incited fiery flack from tons of critics, from nameless bloggers to big name... ...[read more]

  Not even cancer can keep a good blasphemer down. When the leader of Polish blackened death metal band Behemoth was rushed to a hospital and diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, many thought the band was finished. Two years and a bone marrow transplant later, Nergal is back on his feet and ready to tour again on the inaugural Decibel Magazine Tour. Coming along to spread the hate will be Swedish black metallers Watain as well as The Devil's Blood and In Solitude. This is a tour of uncompromising evil and brutality, and we couldn't... ...[read more]

  Few of us could have been prepared for the untimely death of longtime GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot, aka Flattus Maximus, but fewer could have foreseen how quickly the band would be back on the road.

Frontman David Brockie / Oderus Urungus had the following to say on ...[read more]
