This past January, at the annual National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) show in Anaheim, California, Slayer guitarist Gary Holt unveiled a guitar adorned with eighteen vials of his own blood.

Judas Priest has released a powerful cover of Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs', showing love for Ozzy and the legendary metal band ahead of their final concert.

Mastodon has introduced Nick Johnston as their new touring guitarist, marking the band's first lineup change in 25 years following Brent Hinds' departure.
