Given his track record of wild, raucous actions on and off stage, it would be reasonable to assume that there isn’t much that could embarrass former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, but there was one thing: a late 1970s album Osbourne would later call “disgusting” and something he was “ashamed” of.

It's a music-industry open secret that virtually every live album to hit shelves has been overdubbed before release. The question, then, is not whether a live LP contains overdubs — but how many. Decades after the halcyon days of live albums, overdubbing remains a controversial topic. To some fans,...

In a new interview with Wacken TV conducted at this weekend's Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany, ANTHRAX singer Joey Belladonna spoke about his love for classic rock. He said in part (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "At home, I [sing] constant music like that. I mean, all across the board. It could be CHICAGO, TOTO, STEELY DAN, EAGLES, JOURNEY, and then I can do [Ronnie James] Dio all night and [BLACK] SABBATH… I like covering a lot of stuff. I have my own Joey's Jukebox [show] right now, and over the last couple of years I've put 780 tracks together, and I can do four to six hours, or even more, of just different types of music. I'm telling you, it could go all over the place, where I'll never be in a band to learn all those types of songs. And I mixed and put them all together and I just sing for hours of this stuff and it's a blast. And I get to do great music. I love classic rock. It could even be more of a blues, too — ZZ TOP and THE ALLMAN BROTHERS, or wherever. I can shift from side to side and do all kinds of stuff."

In September of 1985, Glenn Danzig mailed a letter to Cliff Burton regarding Metallica's plans to record Misfits covers. Of course, there is a sad and twisted end to this story because, as fans know, Metallica's Misfits covers were not released until 1987, after Burton's tragic death. Burton's punk fandom...

Summer means suffering from the heat! For this reason, I only have two short suggestions for you. One, you can lose yourself in some experimental, otherworldly music. Something that transports you to bizarre realms where the atmosphere prevails, like the new Vuur & Zijde (also make sure to check their split with Impavida) or through the psychedelic craziness of Malconfort’s debut. If that does not appeal to you, then take the angry way out. Relish the melodic black metal of Vimur and Wormwitch, surf through the hardcore of Kijamet, and experience the grindcore nightmare of Zvezde Grajnda. Or allow for Wormed’s technical brutal death metal to swallow your mind. That should get you started, and then you can dig in! – Spyros Stasis.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
