The Elitist takes a look at the influx of metal bands on this year’s Warped Tour — Whitechapel, Veil of Maya, Every Time I Die, Atreyu and others. Also: Slayer cuddle some puppies, Bieber wears a Marilyn Manson shirt and Tool still aren’t doing shit.

That amount ain’t even negligible in Colorado.

The Chicago powerviolence quartet’s final album, Apology, comes out May 20!

Darkest day of poser.

Which creepy clips trip your emotional gag reflex or stress you the fuck out?

Whether you like it or not.

40 new heavy albums from Suspiral, Killswitch Engage, Gadget, Veneficium, Making Fuck, and a couple bands comprised of guys who are, like, better looking than most women and would get super laid without being in a band. That’s a bit rude.

Anselmo’s open letter to the organizers places all the responsibility on himself.

Lots of good stuff from the unsigned world, as usual.

Another one of those swell tours where you can get to the venue early and leave early.

Get a few dozen heavy new releases or Common will be forced to educate you on the value of art: Nightwish, Hypno5e, Carcass, Cirith Gorgor, After The Burial, Monster Truck and tons more

This is where you come in!

Think you’ve got what it takes to be a career musician? Good luck with that.

“We who love extreme music have no moral lessons to learn from politicians who have never taken the time to come, see and understand our event for themselves and then try to impose a code of conduct.”

You’d shush fucking Jesus Christ just to catch these one-off moments.

Don’t worry, there’s still a ton of shirtless dudes totally losing their minds.

What artists could make it worth your 100 minutes?

“The worst.” “Run by a sackless tool.” “MetalSucks should die.” Etc.

We’ve let the legendary vocalist’s racist remarks slide for far too long.

Semi-reunited band’s VIP package is fuckdiculous.
