Yesterday, Attila frontman Fronz issued a "public apology" on his official social media pages. The band followed up Fronz's verbal apology with "Public Apology," the debut single from forthcoming record 'Chaos.'

Fronz initially stated in his video that he wanted to "come clean." "The things that I have said in the past have offended people. The things I've said in the past have hurt people and I realize this and it's not right. Times are changing. I need to be more sensitive to people's needs," he claimed before urging fans to look out for the band's follow up apology. "I want everyone to tune in and check it out because I've got a lot to say and I want you guys to know the truth," he continued. The full statement can be seen here.

San Francisco-based death metal duo Hatchets for Hands will release its new album soon. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere its new track, "Venom Streets." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

The band said, "We started Hatchets for Hands out of a small closet studio space in the Warfield Theatre building in San Francisco in the late 2000s. The surrounding Tenderloin district is and was an extremely venomous, crime ridden sector of the city. We had gunshots fly through our windows during band practice, we witnessed drug fueled fistfights daily, we had to literally step over junkies passed out in the streets with needles in their arms, we watched people get stabbed in broad daylight, left to bleed out in the gutter—all of which was pretty much an everyday thing during those days. You always had to watch your back in the streets."

Swedish occult rockers Ghost have released their 'Popestar' EP and have kicked off of their North American tour today, September 16.

In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere the entire new album stream right here, right now! Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

The group said, "This album is a product of the band overcoming adversity and doing what we have been put here to do. Its message is about recognizing your place in the universe and setting out to do what you love and not what you're told, to spread positivity and not negativity and ultimately, to enjoy your limited time here. As a band, we went through a lot of ups and downs leading up to the creation of this record. We had people write us off after the crash and subsequent lineup change but we're here to set the record straight. This record is proof that you cannot stop the inevitable processes in life—just to understand, overcome and move forward."

Halloween might still be six weeks away, but Ghost rung in the season early with the campy 1920s-style video for "Square Hammer." The clip — which dropped today, September 16th, in conjunction with the release of the Swedish occult-rock powerhouses' new EP, Popestar — sees Papa and the Ghouls head to the theater to catch a movie. Ghost are never ones to take themselves too seriously, and the vintage-horror-themed video is peppered with cheeky humor, as well as reverent nods to cult classics such as Nosferatu and Batman. Watch the video above.

Three young kids deliver a flawless 18-minute-long Metallica medley in this impressive video. While the children's exact ages are unknown, they appear to be middle-school-aged.

Metallica shared the video to their official Facebook page with the caption "Nice work boys!!!" When the woman who filmed the video thanked the band for sharing, they responded, "Thanks for filming it, Catherine! These kids rock. Very, very cool."

South Carolina-based instrumental tech metal outfit Invoking the Abstract will release its debut full-length, 'Aural Kaleidoscopes,' on September 30 via Unique Leader. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere its new song, "Requiem." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

The band said of the album, "'Aural Kaleidoscopes' is a diverse and precise album written to challenge us as musicians and composers. Each song is composed in a different key, none of which are repeated until the final track that transforms the keys into a serialist scale. Some songs are composed to freely flow from one to the next, as others stand alone as achievements in their own right, creating a partial concept album. This album is also our first experiment with completely instrumental arrangements leaving the interpretation of each piece to the listener."

Industrial outfit 16 Volt will release its new album, 'The Negative Space,' on September 16. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere its new song and music video, "The Electric Pope." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Eric Powell said, "The new 16 Volt record really has so many different colors and emotions. It's an album with 11 different characters. 'The Electric Pope' is the hedonistic—yet incredibly motivated and positive—'come follow me to the land of sensory overload' character on the record. Ripe with gasoline, sex, fire, nastiness. The video certainly portrays this happy absurdism."
