Metallica Announces Hit The Stage Contest

This summer, Metallica's WorldWired tour hits stadiums across North America. The band has invited along special guests Avenged Sevenfold and openers Volbeat and Gojira.

However, as some fans have noticed, there are a handful of cities (five to be exact!) where only one band from the bill is able to join. Since Metallica has had so much fun checking out local bands that fans voted for in other parts of the world, it only seems natural to invite fans to once again voice their opinion and help choose a band.

This time around, the group receiving the most fan votes will hit the stage first on a five-city tour. The mini tour includes these five dates:

May 19 - Foxborough, MA - Gillette Stadium (also with Volbeat)
June 4 - St. Louis, MO - Busch Stadium (also with Volbeat)
June 14 - San Antonio, TX - Alamodome (also with Avenged Sevenfold)
June 16 - Dallas, TX - AT&T Stadium (also with Avenged Sevenfold)
June 18 - Chicago, IL - Soldier Field (also with Avenged Sevenfold) More...

Sub-Urban Death Releases Demo

Sub-Urban Death, a fast and furious hardcore punk group from Germany, features songs under the compulsory 2 minute bore limit. A debut demo is out now from the band, which can be heard below. The music is utterly challenging to any form of postmodern self-assurance: irony is for suckers, everything does matter, and everyone has a responsibility.

The 4 men in Sub-Urban Death have earned their spurs over the last 20 years in various hardcore bands like Today Forever, Bart's Revenge, Toughdog, and XgraceX and bring all their experience with verve and passion. Music is obviously still as much fun for them as on the first day and finger-pointing, moshpits, backstage beer and smoky clubs just don't lose their appeal. More...
