Megadeth
Megadeth’s swan song, Megadeth also known as the 'White Album' (January 23, 2026), isn’t a quiet goodbye — it’s a full‑throttle reminder of why this band has dominated heavy music for four decades. Instead of coasting into retirement, Dave Mustaine delivers a record that feels
Australian based metalcore band Melrose Avenue brought their high energy to Toronto’s Mod Club April 29th to a nearly sold out crowd. It was a night of both sight and sound as their stage show was packed with the sex appeal you would expect on the heels of their

Sepultura
Released: April 24, 2026 There’s no clean way to close a forty-two-year run, and Sepultura doesn't try to find one here. A four-track EP was never going to carry that kind of weight, and The Cloud of Unknowing doesn’t pretend otherwise. It sidesteps
Metal Church
Released: April 10, 2026 Metal Church reaching this point at all feels unlikely. Over the last decade, the band has taken hit after hit—lineup instability, stalled momentum, and the loss of Mike Howe in 2021, which didn’t just leave a gap, it altered the shape of the band
Helloween
On April 19, Beast in Black opened the show with mastery and style. Yannis Papadopoulos and the whole band won over the crowd with their charisma and delivered a truly honorable warm-up for what was about to come. But this wasn’t just an opening set — it was like

Judas Priest
Released: April 14, 1980 Heavy metal in 1980 had a direction problem. The genre had spent most of the seventies getting heavier, longer, and more complicated, drifting toward prog on one end and pure volume on the other. Judas Priest looked at all of that and went the opposite way.
