Mad Surgeons, pools of red vomit, and enough guitar feedback to make your ears bleed. Exhumed gives Matthew Moyer a reason to walk in to a Cannibal Corpse show.

Jon Schnepp talks with Ink 19’s Gail Worley about beating the censors, loving the metal, and Metalocalypse – a very metal dream come true – and Antonio Cannobio contributes exclusive Dethklok art (exclusive!). Bang your heads.

This year’s annual Sounds of the Underground tour promises to deliver the heaviest metal this side of Ozzfest to Orlando’s Tinker Field. Jen Cray was there for As I Lay Dying, Gwar, Trivium, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, and a half-dozen other bands as they turned a baseball diamond into a mosh pit.

The San Diego metal act As I Lay Dying are gearing up to headline the annual metal smorgasbord- Sounds of the Underground- this summer. Lead singer Tim Lambesis took a moment during a rare week at home to chat with Jen Cray about the band’s past, present, and future.
