Boris Announces Tour With Melvins

Experimental rock/metal legends Boris has announced that on August 18th, they will be re-releasing their cult album, "Heavy Rocks." In celebration of this, the group will be returning to the United States for a co-headlining tour with sludge/alternative metal pioneers (the) Melvins. Both bands will be performing full sets from landmark albums. Boris will be performing the aforementioned, "Heavy Rocks," while Melvins will be performing their 1991 staple, "Bullhead."

“40 years as the Melvins!!! What better way to celebrate that unlikely milestone than by setting off on the ‘Twins of Evil Tour’ with our friends, Boris,” Buzz Osborne shares of a set that will see the iconic band perform the beloved Bullhead album in its entirety, as well as additional tracks across their discography. “This will be a stone groove!”

Boris’ Takeshi adds: “Could anyone have predicted such an astonishing event, that Boris and the Melvins would tour the entire USA together? Since the mid-1980s, the Melvins have had an enormous influence on artists of all genres not only limited to heavy music, and have brought forth a surge of faithful followers over the years. Needless to say, Boris is just one of these many bands influenced by the mighty Melvins, and we took our name from a song title off of the 1991 album, Bullhead.”

Volbeat Parts Ways With Guitarist

Danish heavy metal outfit Volbeat has announced that they have parted company with guitarist Rob Caggiano. A statement from the band reads as follows:

"After ten incredible years we must sadly announce that Volbeat and Rob Caggiano have parted ways. During our time together we’ve traveled the world sharing great experiences and released four albums that we are immensely proud of, and we wouldn’t change a moment of it.

"We wish our brother Rob all the best with everything he does in the future (we know it’s going to be great)!

"Filling those shoes on stage will be a herculean task, but our good friend Flemming C. Lund (The Arcane Order) will be jumping in to handle lead guitar on our 2023 shows.

"Thank you to all of our incredible fans for their support, and more importantly, thank you to Rob for ten amazing years."

Caggiano joined Volbeat on February 4th 2013, exactly one month after leaving thrash metal icons Anthrax. He is also an accomplished producer, having worked with the likes of Cradle Of Filth, Machine Head, Ill Niño and Chthonic.
