Earlier this year, Ozzy Osbourne announced that he'd be reconvening his solo band for a handful of summer shows in the Midwest. The trek's a significant one: it marks the Ozzman's first full-fledged outing with guitarist and Black Label Society co-founder Zakk Wylde in over a decade, as well as the duo's first onstage appearance since 2009. (His spot was previously held by Firewind's Gus G., who parted ways with the band in 2013.)
As promised, Osbourne, Wylde and company kicked off the highly anticipated tour this past weekend with ferocious sets at Wisconsin's Rock USA and Chicago's Open Air festivals. In addition to the usual Osbourne solo staples ("Crazy Train," "Bark at the Moon"), and Black Sabbath classics ("War Pigs," "Iron Man," "Paranoid," "Fairies Wear Boots"), the band dusted off several Ozzy cuts that haven't been performed in years, including "Desire," "No More Tears" and "Believer." If you weren't able to make it out to the shows, don't fret — fans have uploaded footage of the sets to YouTube, giving us a chance to witness the icons' reunion in all its glory. Check out some highlights below.
Next up on Ozzy and company's agenda: a pair of solo performances in Sturgis, South Dakota, on August 9, and Cartersville, Illinois, on August 21, a headlining set at Ozzfest Versus Knotfest, November 4-5, and a new solo album, due out sometime next year.
Stone Sour have announced a slew of new North American shows behind their latest album Hydrograd. Corey Taylor and company's latest round of gigs kicks off September 24 at the Sokol Auditorium in Omaha, NE, and will run through late October, with numerous planned festival stops (Colorado's High Elevation Rock Festival, Texas' Houston Open Air, and California's Monster Energy Aftershock Festival, just to name a few). Steel Panther, Beartooth, Man With A Mission, and Cherry Bombs will all open for the band on select dates. Check out the complete itinerary below.
Additionally, Taylor has announced a series of signings and discussions in support of his new book, America 51: A Probe into the Realities That Are Hiding Inside "The Greatest Country in the World." The frontman's latest literary effort, which publisher Da Capo Press bills as "a skewering of the American underbelly," hits shelves August 8. For more information on these events and how to attend, head over to Taylor's website.
Stone Sour have a busy schedule planned in the weeks and months leading up to their newly-added American trek. After wrapping up the North American leg of their "Serenity of Summer Tour" with Korn, the group will embark on a string of Australian and Japanese shows in late August and early September. On November 4-5, they'll perform at Ozzfest Meets Knotfest, a merger of Ozzy Osbourne and Slipknot's respective festivals also featuring Rob zombie, Marilyn Manson, Prophets of Rage, Testament, Children of Bodom, and many more.

Industrial icons Ministry are teaming up with hardcore hip-hop firebrands Death Grips for a North American fall tour. The incendiary outing kicks off October 13 in Worcester, MA, with stop-offs in major cities from coast to coast. Tickets for the whole trek will be available starting this Wednesday (Jul. 19) at 10 a.m. Eastern. Check out a full list of dates below.
Ministry's tour announcement arrives ahead of their 14th album AmeriKKKant, which is due out sometime this fall. Fans can pre-order the album and score exclusive ephemera — including vinyl and posters, instruments, album credits and even personalized birthday messages — via the album's PledgeMusic campaign. Earlier this summer, Ministry debuted the AmeriKKKant track "Antifa," a brutal tribute to alt-left activism, during their set at Glenn Danzig's Blackest of the Black festival. The band recently celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their breakthrough album Psalm 69: The Way To Succeed And The Way To Suck Eggs, whose debauched secrets were detailed at length in Revolver last week.
Things are stirring over on the Death Grips front, as well. Earlier this year, the band dropped the 22-minute track titled "Steroids (Crouching Tiger Hidden Gabber Megamix)," and revealed that they were working on a new full-length, the follow-up to last year's Bottomless Pit. In the meantime, Death Grips members Zach Hill and Andy Morin released a new I.L.Y's album, Bodyguard, in May.

On July 14, 1992, Danzig released their third album, Danzig III: How The Gods Kill. As Danzig's first album to break into the Top 25 on the Billboard charts, How The Gods Kill offered definitive proof that ex-Misfit Glenn Danzig's latest musical endeavor was anything but your average solo project, instead it solidfied his status as heavy metal royalty. Many critics and fans regard it as one of the band's definitive albums, and rightly so; Songs like "Sistinas," "Dirty Black Summer," and the title-track are not so much essentials as they are herculean sonic feats that take Danzig's booming goth rock — already filled to the brim with diabolical riffs, turbulent tempos and overpowering confidence — and somehow amplify it to terror-inducing levels.
The same year that Danzig III dropped, Danzig and bassist Eerie Von made a now-classic appearance on "Headbangers Ball." After catching up with the band on tour in Germany, host Riki Rachtman whisked the two bandmates to an opulently-decorated, unequivocally creepy castle for an intriguing (and super awkward) chat. Come for insightful discussion on How The Gods Kill; Stay for the metal-as-fuck scenery, ceaseless sulking, and seething softly-spoken disses, like this one from Danzig himself: "Is this band called the Misfits or Samhain? No. It's called Danzig." Ouch. Check out the interview below.
Arch Enemy are gearing up to release their 10th studio album, Will of Power, on September 8th via Century Media. After unveiling the album artwork late last month, and dropping a cover of the Shitlickers' "The Leader (of the Fuckin' Assholes)" earlier this week, the Swedes have finally unveiled "The World Is Yours," Will of Power's debut single (which is also their first new music in over three years). It arrives accompanied by a ferocious music video directed by Patric Ullaeus, which finds Alissa White-Gluz and company performing the song against a backdrop of shadows, strobe lights and outer-space scenery. Watch below.
Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott (who co-wrote and co-produced "The World Is Yours" with the help of drummer Daniel Erlandsson) says he's proud of Will of Power, and can't wait to take it on the road. "We had a blast recording together with the full band in the south of Sweden, and then mixing with Jens Bogren [Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, At The Gates], who did a superb mix and mastering in my opinion, even surpassing the epic sound on our previous record, [2014's] War Eternal," Amott says. "People that have heard this song in particular are saying it's got the classic anthemic Arch Enemy vibe going on, and I think they might be right about that."
Arch Enemy are keeping busy in the weeks leading up to their latest LP with a slew of European summer festival appearances scheduled through mid August. On September 15, one week after Will of Power's release, they'll embark on a trek through Eastern Europe, with support from Ukranian groove metal outfit Jinjer on most dates. Europen and North America legs will follow, although the band has yet to offer specific details regarding dates, cities, or venues.

Avenged Sevenfold have just unleashed a fiery new song, "Dose." The trippy track was originally intended to appear on their latest album, The Stage, but it was ultimately cut from its track listing. Avenged Sevenfold teased the song via a special level in the hack-and-slash video game "Dungeon Hunter 5," which culminates in a showdown with a boss character inspired by last fall's LP. The band's latest sonic offering comes in the wake of two covers released earlier in the summer: a reimagining of the Mexican folk song "Malagueña Salerosa," as well as an epic take on Mr. Bungle's "Retrovertigo." Check out the video for the song below.
According to Avenged Sevenfold frontman M. Shadows, "Dose" was musically conceived as a sequel to The Stage's orchestral highlight "Roman Sky," but later morphed into a tripped-out metal song, inspired by a modern urban legend. "The lyrics were inspired by an unsolved mystery that dates back to the 1950s about an airline traveler who, if you believe the story, supposedly fell into our dimension from another," he explains. "According to reports, he showed up in a Tokyo airport with a passport from a country that didn't exist anywhere on a map. He was detained for questioning, but mysteriously vanished from a room guarded by immigration officials, taking with him all evidence of his existence. It ties into the theory that there are infinite possibilities of our lives being played out across space and time. [I] Don't know if the story is true, but I'm fascinated by that kind of stuff and thought it'd be a fun idea for a song."
"The Dose" arrives smack-dab in the middle of Avenged Sevenfold's North American tour behind The Stage. In addition to headlining shows in Wisconsin, New Hampshire, California and elsewhere, the band has been tapped to open for rock gods Metallica, with support from Gojira and Volbeat on select dates.

Former Pantera bassist and Kill Devil Hill member Rex Brown has teamed up with Revolver to premiere "Buried Alive," the new song and music video from his forthcoming solo full-length, Smoke on This... "Buried Alive" touches on the aftermath of Dimebag Darrell's death and how Brown had to find himself in the wake of the tragedy and Pantera's dissolution.
Directed by Justin Reich (Zakk Wylde, Ace Frehley), the video was shot in Nashville where the record was recorded and produced. The clip features Brown and his bandmates — co-writer and guitarist Lance Harvill, rhythm guitarist Joe Shadid, Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly and keyboardist Caleb Sherman.
"Justin once again did a fantastic job," says Brown. "The video captures every bit of emotion I had when I was writing the song as it's a very personal song for me."
Brown also said of the new record, "My motto these days is 'Shake some shit up.' I've had my ups and downs, like anybody in this business. I wanted to feel like a true artist again, where I can write and record songs without worrying about any of the bullshit. This is just something else I'm doing for fun, man. And musical freedom. Fun has to come into it or I'm not going to do it. I've had a tremendous career and now I feel like I'm 25 years old again. This has given me that freedom I needed."
Smoke on This... is out July 28th via eOne Music. Physical copies can be pre-ordered here while digital pre-orders are available at this location.
Amon Amarth have unveiled an epic visual for "The Way of Vikings," off last year's record Jomsviking. Directed by Polish production studio Grupa 13 (who previously oversaw videos for the album's singles "First Kill" and "Dawn's First Light"), the cinematic clip pays homage to the 1920's crime drama "Peaky Blinders." Here, in the seedy underbelly of Birmingham, England, the five-piece — clad in dapper period garb, as opposed to their typical all-black attire — serve up the sountrack to a grueling, bloody cage match. As Amon Amarth tear through the Jomsviking highlight in a boxing gym, we see a litany of shady characters (gamblers, grifters, gentlemen and gangsters), and of course, one hell of a fight, complete with slow-motion action sequences. (Alas, the band don't get in on the brawl.) Watch below.
Amon Amarth's latest video arrives one day before they hit the road for another run of shows behind Jomsviking. The trek kicks off in their native Sweden, with an appearance at Gefle Metal Festival. From there, they'll head out to play Chicago Open Air festival (the only North American date on their itinerary) before finishing the leg in Europe and the U.K.

Back in June, Trent Reznor revealed that Nine Inch Nails had two EPs on the way, the first of which he intended to release in advance of July 23's headlining set at Los Angeles' FYF Festival, the band's first live performance since 2014. Today, the man's staying true to his word with the announcement of Add Violence, the band's latest extended-player. Arriving July 21 via Capitol, the five-track offering marks the second entry in a planned trilogy of EPs, arriving in the wake of December's Not The Actual Events (which marked longtime collaborator Atticus Ross' first release as an official Nine Inch Nails member).
Additionally, Reznor and Ross have dropped off "Less Than," the EP's infectious first single. The glitched-out rager is classic latter-day NIN: a taut, industrial-tinged rock anthem which hearkens back to 2008's similarly hook-laden album The Slip. Give "Less Than" a listen below.
Nine Inch Nails' FYF performance precedes a handful of North American festival dates taking place later this summer and fall: New York City's Panorama, Chicago's Riot Fest, and Sacramento's Aftershock Fest.

We've got good news and bad news, Tool fans. First, the good news: According to bassist Justin Chancellor, the prog-metal stalwarts' new album is 90% done! Now. for the bad news: Tool's definition of "done" is very different from everyone else's.
In a recent interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience," Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan revealed that the band's long-awaited 10,000 Days follow-up is still a long ways out, a delay he attributed to the band's meticulous songwriting approach. "Nothing is tracked yet, nothing is completely finished," he said. "There's a couple songs that I think are finished now; I can start working on those, but nothing is actually recorded."
Keenan continued, "My desire to move forward: 'Go go go, get things done!' I'm always butting heads with the guys in the band to get those things done, and it's just not their process. It took me a while to go, 'This is not personal, this is just the way that they have to do it. And I have to respect it, and I have to take my time and let them take their time.'"
The frontman went on to explain that, while he and his bandmates have indeed been hard at work on new material, their constantly fluctuating creative process has prevented them from nailing down the songs themselves. "If this thing is done done done, and I can start writing words and music on it, great. But I've had instances where I've started to write stuff, and by the time I actually got it around and back, and actually listening and whatever, the song had gone in a completely different direction," he said. "So everything that was written melody-wise or lyric-wise was completely irrelevant now, and I have to start over." In other words, don't rush them.
Keenan continued, "I mean, I can sit there in that room, and be with them in that room, but their process is so tedious and so Rain Man, that I just can't, I just start fucking folding in on myself. I'll be right back, I've got to go take five years to plant a vineyard, because you'll still be right where you were when I left. But it's a great thing, what they're doing is wonderful. I completely back what they're doing. There's no other way for them to do it. For me, I can move much more quickly if you will let me help you. I've written a few songs. In fact, I was involved in many of them, the ones that we've done, so we can do that. But I think this is what they need to do. I'm OK with it. You got to get a little friction in there, so I have to come in and puff my chest out a bit and be aggressive: 'Let's move it, guys.' That worked for a minute, and we definitely made traction, but if I were to do that every day, it would just become a part of the friction, more friction instead of getting anything done."
So there you have it. Like they said on Twitter earlier this year, the band has no plans to drop an album in 2017. The same goes for A Perfect Circle, who also have a long-awaited full length on horizon, not to mention a North American tour planned for the fall.
