August 4th, 2012 Metalkult One thing award shows are good for is allowing rockers from all generations to put aside their schedules for a moment and converge in one place. And there’s no doubt that veteran rocker Sebastian Bach and emerging metal favorites Black Veil Brides have crossed paths at a few of these events. With the introductions out of the way, that means that things like what happened at Club Nokia in Los

Hook told the Evansville Courier & Press that he was actually once a

August 4th, 2012 Metalkult Sometimes reunions work and sometimes they don’t. In Jane’s Addiction‘s case, their second time working with bassist Eric Avery, who was initially the first original member to leave the band, just didn’t pan out. Singer Perry Farrell says that having taken advantage of several opportunities to reunite only to split again after the ‘Strays’ album, it took some convincing to give another run at the band a try. He tells

August 4th, 2012 Metalkult Shinedown is probably not the first act you think of when it comes to remixes or “the club.” Heck, they’re probably not even in the first hundred or so acts when it comes to that, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned over the past decade, it’s that just about any track can be subject to a remix. As such, Shinedown’s latest chart-topping single ‘Unity’ has been given the remix
