Venom Frontman Cronos Passes Away Aged 63
Conrad Lant, the Newcastle musician known to fans around the world as Cronos, the frontman of extreme metal pioneers Venom, has died. He was sixty three years old. No cause of death or further information has been given yet, but his passing was announced via the band's official social media. Their message reads as follows:
"It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we share the news that Conrad “Cronos” Lant has passed away. For more than four decades, Conrad’s voice, bass and vision were at the heart of Venom. From the first dark rumblings of 'Welcome To Hell,' through 'Black Metal,' 'At War With Satan,' 'Possessed' and beyond, he created something that changed heavy music forever. Venom never followed the rules. They forged their own path and Conrad was there at the centre of it all — uncompromising fearless and unmistakable.
"The Legions have always been an important part of Venom. To everyone who stood with the band through the years, bought the records, came to the shows, wore the shirts, shared the music and kept the flame burning — Cronos was always grateful for your loyalty and support."
A message from Nathan, Conrad’s son:
"I want to thank all of the Legions for all of the support you have given my dad over the years. I know he really appreciated you all. He has laid down his soul, and his music will live on. The legend of Cronos will never die."
The band continued:
"His music will never die. His voice will never fade. The legacy of Venom will live on through the music he created and through the Legions around the world who continue to carry that flame.
"Thank you, Conrad.
Thank you, Cronos.
Thank you for the music.
Thank you for the memories.
"Our deepest love and condolences go to Nathan & Hel, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
"Rest In Peace, Conrad. The legend lives on." More...

Leng Tch'e Posts First New Song In Nearly A Decade
Today, Belgian razorgrind band Leng Tch’e are releasing their first single in nearly a decade. "Hammered into Collapse" sets the tone for their upcoming two-song EP, which includes another new song in "Voided." You can check out a video for the title track below. The two-song EP Hammered into Collapse comes out on all digital platforms October 23, 2026 via Season of Mist.
Two decades in, Leng Tch’e still sound like a band settling a score with time itself. "Hammered Into Collapse" is built around the image of a parasite that has fed on its host for 20 years without ever being sated, a slow reckoning with wasted time that tightens into a repeated, mechanical refrain: mind turning black, cerebral and neural hijack.
"Hammered Into Collapse" was recorded at Hearse Studio with engineer Lander Cluyse, mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Known for working with God’s Hate, Full and Hell and Vitriol, Young helps situate Leng Tche’s new single within a current, heavier-leaning corner of the grind and death metal landscape. More...

Rose Tattoo Frontman Angry Anderson Passes Away
Gary "Angry" Anderson, known to many as the frontman of Australian hard rock legends Rose Tattoo, has passed away at the age of seventy nine. The Melbourne born singer, also known for his solo hit "Suddenly" and for acting in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, suffered a heart attack last month while on tour in Germany, and died on September 21st in Sydney.
Anderson was the longest serving member of Rose Tattoo, fronting them from 1976 until 1987, by which time he had already acted in a few movies, and released his first solo album, "Beats From A Single Drum." His second solo album, "Blood From Stone" hit the shelves in 1990 and three years later, Rose Tattoo reunited at the request of Guns 'N Roses to support the band on their tour of Australia. A long lasting return would take place in 1998 and Anderson continued to front the group until his passing, during which time they released the albums "Pain," "Blood Brothers" and "Outlaws," while touring Down Under and Europe numerous times.

Memoriam Announces Final Album "Endgame"
British death metal veterans Memoriam have announced their sixth and final studio album, "Endgame," set for release on January 29th, 2027 via Reaper Entertainment.
With "Endgame," Memoriam brings their remarkable ten-year journey to a close on their own terms. Rather than allowing the band to slowly lose momentum or continue simply because it was expected, they have chosen to conclude their recording career with purpose, conviction, and one final statement they truly believe in.
Since their formation in 2016, Memoriam has become one of the leading voices in modern British death metal. Originally born out of friendship, remembrance, and a shared desire to create music again, the band quickly evolved into far more than anyone involved had anticipated. Across six critically acclaimed studio albums, Memoriam built a legacy defined by crushing heaviness, intelligent lyricism, political awareness, and uncompromising artistic integrity. More...

Ex-Every Time I Die Guitarist Passes Away
Following a match at an Enjoy Wrestling show in Pennsylvania last night (September 5th,) Andy Williams, AKA The Butcher, collapsed in the ring. The show was immediately cancelled as paramedics performed chest compressions and used a defibrillator. Unfortunately, Fightful Select has now confirmed an earlier TMZ report that the wrestler and musician has now died at the age of forty-eight.
Williams lived a colourful life, achieving fame in two different avenues. For metal fans, he will be best known as the rhythm guitarist for metalcore favourites Every Time I Die, joining shortly after the band was formed by the Buckley brothers in 1998. He remained with the band until their breakup in 2022, during which time he performed on nine studio albums, two EPs and two DVDs.
In November 2019, he achieved a new level of attention, debuting on All Elite Wrestling's flagship show, Dynamite. Alongside his partner The Blade and their valet The Bunny (AKA Allie,) he would be featured in a number of angles with stars like Cody Rhodes, Diamond Dallas Page, the Lucha Brothers and Eddie Kingston. The team's contracts with the company expired in June of this year, and they continued to tag together on the independent scene, including for his final match.
All Shall Perish Premiere First New Song In 15 Yrs

Zack Ohren (Fallujah, Machine Head) produced the comeback track, which arrives via Arson Theory, the new music company co-founded by All Shall Perish frontman Eddie Hermida.
Fear Factory Debut First Single Feat. New Vocalist
Fear Factory’s brand new single “Roboticist” has officially arrived online. The track’s premiere coincided with a major sci-fi milestone, going live at precisely 2:14am EST on August 29th. In the fictional ‘Terminator‘ universe — a franchise that has heavily influenced the industrial metal band over the years — that date and time in 1997 marked the moment Skynet achieved self-awareness, setting the disastrous events of the films into motion.
Fear Factory have been sitting on the track for some time, having previously streamed an early instrumental version of it back in April 2023. The song carries added significance now, as it marks the band officially progressing with their first studio material since the contentious departure of former vocalist Burton C. Bell. His successor, Milo Silvestro, joined the band in 2023, subsequently touring the world with the group.
A music video for this fully realized rendition of “Roboticist” was filmed with director Vicente Cordero (Cradle Of Filth, Hollywood Undead), while Damien Rainaud handled production, engineering, mixing and mastering duties.
Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares, the sole remaining ‘classic era’ member, commented: More...
Amon Amarth Premiere New Single & Music Video
Amon Amarth‘s new single “Eight Legs Of Thunder” has thundered onto the scene. As is the case with much of the Swedish melodic death metal band’s material, the track draws inspiration from Norse mythology, specifically Sleipnir, the eight-legged steed of the Norse god Odin.
The track appears on the band’s forthcoming album “The Allfather Awakens“, which Metal Blade Records will release on October 02nd.
Director Dariusz Szermanowicz (Behemoth, Kreator) was once again enlisted by the band for the accompanying clip, and had the following to say about it: More...
