From trailblazing extreme music to church-burning criminality, he discusses the essential albums, the tabloid headlines and more — including the story behind COF's seminal debut, 'The Principle of Evil Made Flesh,' which turns 30 in 2024.

Knotfest Australia RespondsREVOLVER2023-05-10 | Nu-metal is back, they say, but really, it never left. The real question is: What the hell is nu-metal anyway? Encompassing wide-ranging bands from Korn and Limp Bizkit to Slipknot and Mudvayne, and spanning from the mid-Nineties to the modern day, it's a hard genre to pin down. We traveled to Knotfest Australia to get the answer from fans and artists alike — including members of Parkway Drive, In Flames, Northlane, Alpha Wolf and Malevolence — and they did not disappoint.

From their super heavy first two albums to the more experimental direction of their recent material, the Iowa NIne have cranked out dozens of kick-ass songs and played a huge part in shaping the sound and culture of 21st century metal. We turned to bigwig metal and rock musicians, many of whom grew up on Slipknot— members of Spiritbox, Bring Me the Horizon, In Flames, We Came As Romans and more — to pick their single favorite songs in all of the 'Knot's catalog.

Guitarist Matt Pike and bassist Jeff Matz are total wizards at crafting humongous, boulder-crushing string parts that make you want to bang your head until your neck snaps. So we asked the shredders to pick and play the heaviest riffs in the entire High on Fire discography.

It's a debate as old as the genre itself, and one that gets rehashed every time a normie celebrity like Aubrey Plaza or Zara Larsson pops up rocking a metal tee. Do people need to prove their headbanging bona fides before they can throw on a Slayer shirt? Can people just wear something for the design, even if they don't know the music? We asked bigwig metal and rock musicians — including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, Bring Me the Horizon, In Flames and more — to weigh in on this hot-button topic. Watch now to see what the experts had to say.

Since 2007, he's fronted the Canadian band Counterparts, who play an emotionally scarred version of metalcore that makes you want to mosh and cry cathartically at the same time. More recently, he's been pulling double-duty as the vocalist of END, the ballistically heavy supergroup who mash metalcore, deathcore and hardcore into one breakdown-y pulp. But what are the breakdowns that inspire him to make all this heavy goodness? We asked Murphy to reveal his personal canon of choice chugga-chugga cuts. Watch his picks above and let us know some of your favorite breakdowns in the comments below!

Fast ones, chuggy ones, springy ones, nimble ones, catchy ones, moshy ones. Riffs are what rhythm guitarist Scott Ian does best, and while there're plenty of musically nuanced and pleasantly melodic guitar passages in Anthrax's catalog, we asked Ian to pick the 11 heaviest in the band's repertoire. The ones that make you want to bang your head until you pull a muscle. The ones that make you want to punch the drink out of the hands of the dude standing next to you, just because. Watch above to see which riffs Ian selected, and hear him sing them all a capella. Let us know some of your favorite Anthrax riffs in the comments below!

Spiritbox, GWAR, In Flames and More ReactREVOLVER2023-01-04 | For metalheads, asking someone their favorite Metallica song is like asking a football fan to pick their favorite player. It's a required opinion for headbangers to have, and those opinions vary wildly from fan to fan. Some Metallica heads love 'em all. Some only acknowledge the thrash years. We turned to bigwig metal and rock musicians — including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, In Flames, and more — to pick their choice cuts from one of metal's all-time best discographies.

Metal Vocal Challenge: Jinjers Tatiana ShmaylukREVOLVER2022-12-21 | You've heard a deathcore vocalist do a pig squeal over blast-beats, but have you actually ever heard a real pig squeal over blast-beats? Would you be able to spot the difference? That's the challenge we posed to Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk — one of modern metal's fiercest vocalists — in a game we call Man or Beast. Can this veteran screamer identify whether the vocal she's hearing is Deicide's Glen Benton or a deadly bear? A hellish human a howler monkey?

Rockers ReactREVOLVER2022-12-14 | For many metalheads, thrash is their entry-point into the genre. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax — these are some of the biggest bands in heavy music, and that's just scratching the surface of all the fast, furious and shred-tastic groups that make up thrash's vast ecosystem. But what's the single greatest thrash band ever? It's a question we posed to bigwig metal and rock musicians — including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, In Flames and Halestorm, as well as Lars Ulrich's sons, Myles and Layne, who play in the band Taipei Houston — and the answers ranged from undeniable titans to underground heroes.

The guy not only knows how to play, but he has a near-scientific understanding of what makes a rock and/or metal drummer exceptional.

Headbangers don't just like the Texas wrecking crew, they love their run of untouchable records that Pantera made with core lineup Philip Anselmo, Dimebag Darrell, Vinnie Paul and Rex Brown. But what's the single greatest song in the entire Pantera catalog? It's a hard-ass question, so we turned to bigwig metal and rock musicians — including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, In Flames, Halestorm, and more — to pick their choice cuts from one of metal's all-time best discographies.
Watch above and let us know what you think is the greatest Pantera song in the comments below!

He also delves into the songs he created from dark places, like "Headup," his (literally) blood-spattered tune with Chino from Deftones, Soulfly's "One" and the records he created in the wake of the loss of his dear friend, Dimebag Darrell of Pantera.

You'd be wrong. The frontman has a wildly eclectic ear for all different types of music, so we asked him to open up about some highlights from his expansive audio library. From the proto-stoner-rock shredding of Funkadelic and the sinister murder balladry of Willie Nelson, to stunning selections from the worlds of electronic, jazz and blues, here are 11 non-metal albums that Fallon thinks every metalhead needs to know.

These songs include "Runaway" by Aurora, "Contact" by As Cities Burn, and "Eiley" by Too Close to Touch.

Spiritbox, GWAR, BMTH and More ReactREVOLVER2022-11-09 | Every metal fan, even the most seasoned and snobby among us, had a gateway band that introduced them to the genre. No one began their journey plunging into the depths of obscure black-metal or putrid goregrind. Whether it was Slipknot, Metallica, Black Sabbath or any of the other titans of shred, every headbanger started somewhere, so we asked bigwig metal and rock musicians — including members of Spiritbox, GWAR, Bring Me the Horizon, Halestorm, and more — to reveal the band that first introduced them to what would become a lifetime of heavy.
Watch now and let us know your gateway metal band in the comments!

Ben spent 20 years with DEP pioneering an original, savage and powerful sound that incorporated elements of metal, hardcore and new ideas that earned the band a devout following. Now the guitarist for Suicidal Tendencies, Ben shares the songs he turns to on dark days in the first episode of REVOLVER's new podcast. He also reflects on life after Dillinger Escape Plan, his relationship with former bandmates and the enduring impact of DEP’s debut record, “Calculating Infinity.”

But anyone who's heard his deep, expressive croak can identify the soulful emotion that comes through in his deceptively catchy, plodding melodies. So much of his signature style likely comes from his deep enjoyment of disco, soul, jazz, funk, pop music and more. The man has an extremely well-rounded music taste that stretches across styles and eras, so we asked him to select 11 of his favorite non-metal records that he thinks every metalhead needs to know. Watch him make his selections and explain why each album matters.

The Atlanta band's eclectic catalog is packed with memorable, technical and physically crushing guitar passages that weave between sludge, prog, and classic heavy metal with a level of proficiency that few other bands have achieved. Their music can be jammy and tuneful, but guitarists Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds always keep their songs grounded with massively heavy riffs. There're so many ten-ton guitar parts in their catalog to choose from, but we had the riff-meisters themselves pick — and play along with — what they deem the heaviest in their repertoire. See their picks above and let us know some of your favorite heavy Mastodon riffs in the comments below!

From the genre's commercial domination on MTV to the creation of a sprawling network of micro-styles — black-metal, death metal, nu-metal, sludge, stoner and metalcore, to name a few — the decade was a transformative time for heavy music that spawned many of best to ever do it. We had Nate Garrett, frontman of Spirit Adrift and a Nineties metal scholar, pick the 11 greatest groups that defined that 10-year period — from extreme-metal innovators to stadium-crushing giants.

Certain amenities are simply too big, impractical or valuable to bring along for the ride, but every metal hellraiser has a select handful of things that they simply cannot tour without — from treasured personal items to useful tools. Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia has been making these tough calls for 25 years, so we asked her to pick 10 essentials that she won't leave home without. Watch to see what she chose and why.

He's an animal behind the mic, perfectly suited for the haggard and heavy NWOAHM that Lamb of God specialize in. But Blythe doesn't only listen to the type of music he sings — far from it. The lifelong hardcore punker has a deep reverence for all types of sounds, from the jazz-inflected hardcore of the Bad Brains and moody goth-rock of the Sisters of Mercy, to the pioneering blues of Robert Johnson. Watch Blythe pick and discuss 11 great non-metal albums that he thinks all metalheads need to hear.

After we talked to the thrash pioneer about Megadeth's scorching new album, The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!, we opened to the floor our readers' questions and had Mustaine answer the best ones. He thoughtfully opened up about the 30th anniversary of Countdown to Extinction, his admiration for Metallica's James Hetfield, his three favorite non-metal albums, a crazy time he had with a Sex Pistol and much, much more.

They've never released a dud, which made ranking their catalog from worst to best a difficult task. But it's a challenge that Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton was up for. The founding axman isn't the type of musician who thinks everything he's ever touched is gold — far from it. Excluding their yet-to-be-released 2022 album, Omens, Morton engaged in a brutally honest assessment of his life's work, candidly critiquing Lamb of God's low points and persuasively hailing his personal favorites.

From Norwegian Christian death-thrash to "grimy, gross grind" with puke samples, these are Davidson's picks for 11 criminally underrated extreme-metal bands.
