MOTIONLESS IN WHITE sold more albums (physical and paid digital downloads) in the US this week than any other artist (that isn't a boy band or a former boy band member). A HUGE win for the heavy music genre. Congrats to the band and their team. Read More👉🏼
A FOUR YEAR fight means that while making & promoting Civil War, Marshall, Black Panther, Message from the King, Infinity War, Endgame, 21 Bridges, Da 5 Bloods & Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Chadwick Boseman was battling actual literal death. What an absolute LEGEND, on every level.
VALE, the brand new album from the fine gentlemen of

is out TODAY. Track 4, “When They Call My Name” is currently my favorite song. Which one is yours?
Upset about Melissa Barrera's firing?
Stop calling for Stranger Things to dump Noah Schnapp.
Don't celebrate Gina Carano's firing.
Speaking on a divisive issue shouldn't cost anyone their job.
Don't wait for your team's turn in the barrel.
Oppose this shit consistently.

This is some willful contrarian trolling. There’s no way you’d really think this in any other context. You are praising Rap Devil because you had low expectations. There’s no grading on a curve in rap battles!

Happy Birthday, Master Of Puppets. I wrote this for Loudwire and it was fun. You should read it. 10 REASONS WHY METALLICA'S 'MASTER OF PUPPETS' IS SO DAMN GOOD:
Heard Demi Lovato's new single. Sure, it's basically the riff from the Hole hit Billy Corgan wrote and a Megadeth song title and a little bit Millennial Whoop-adjacent. But it's 10x better than MGK's "rock." Confessional, meaningful lyrics, guitars, drums, attitude? I support it.
One of my best friends put his heart and soul into this, his second solo album, chasing every untapped creative ambition with an even greater fearlessness than before. Buy it, stream it, get into it.

I’m bloody honored that Spencer asked me to take a stab at telling this story with him. He’s one of my favorite people, even if I half expect to find him lurking outside my window some rainy night. ICE NINE KILLS INKED IN BLOOD 2. 🩸
The visual language of Scott Derrickson’s DOCTOR STRANGE became such a crucial through line in everything that came after in the MCU. It’s great to see Sam Raimi salute it in

’s lovely Q&A.
Silly to look deeper into the little pieces I write.
I've been writing them for years now.

Happy 28th anniversary to one of the greatest albums of all time, RUST IN PEACE! Or as my five year old son calls it, “the one with the skeleton holding the green light.” ☢️💀

@EddieTrunk
Eddie, I think the big disconnect for you and Baz: Ronnie's band DOES perform live vocals, guitars, bass & drums. They are a synth, orchestral, and rap-beat heavy band. Misplaced laptops for them are more akin to a Nine Inch Nails show. NIN plays and sings the ROCK sections live.
My best guess for
@ChrisEvans
as
#CaptainAmerica
is that after the timeline is remade in
#AvengersEndgame
, he gets to return to the 40s to be with Peggy. Rogers is effectively written out of the MCU, for now, but with the door open to return in cameos or in any capacity he wants.

@EddieTrunk
Would NIN perform “Closer” or “Head Like A Whole” w/ just guitar, bass, and drums? They could try, but why? How would several Linkin Park hits sound without a DJ/tracks? Barring an acoustic show, it is part of the sound for these bands. FIR is the wrong band for Eddie’s argument.
