“Melodic Power Metal” and “Chaotic Black Metal” are apparently emerging in 2017.

Think the likes of Helloween, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Sabaton and Dragonforce and you’ll hear the galloping beats, the frenetic bass drums, the rampant tempos and, of course, the odd crushing heavy grooves with all the fills and epic parts to go with them.

Do you think the use of phones to take photos and videos at shows is annoying? Should it be BANNED?

“Nothing you’re gonna get at a show is gonna represent what you just saw, or what you were there for.”

Napalm Death make it rain!

A vulgar display of adorable caricatures.

If you’ve got a VR headset you can watch from anywhere in the world (except China).

The shocker emoji alone is worth the dollar it costs.

And it was more energetic than the band of real-life humans backing it.

Spoiler: it’s not Orgy.

The new act makes it illegal to use bots/software to obtain more tickets than allowed, and to resell any tickets bought with the help of a bot.
