It's not super often that metal creeps its way into mainstream pop culture, so when it does, it certainly makes for an unexpected surprise.

There's been a bit of movement over in the Korn camp, with the band posting a cryptic picture of some jumbled letters in a black and white photo:

 

Anthony Vincent/Ten Second Songs has returned with a new video taking Linkin Park's iconic track 'Numb' and translating it into the style of 15 other artists across different genres.

Disturbed have released a special 20th anniversary edition of their seminal debut 2000 record The Sickness, which you can currently find digitally on streaming services.

A couple of weeks back, we shared Ruslan Mayshev's YouTube channel dedicated to playing metal on the streets of Russia and filming everyone's reactions around him.

It's crazy to think that it's been 21 years since Slipknot released their debut self-titled album, and it looks like the band's former drummer Joey Jordison is in the same boat, posting a touching reflective piece to Instagram on its 21st anniversary.

An extremely rare track called 'Cintro' from rap metal veterans (hed)p.e. has recently appeared online, after spending the last 23 years floating around exclusively on advance cassette copies of their 1997 debut self-titled album.

Suicide Silence have announced dates for a "virtual world tour" throughout July, which includes a Sydney, Australia date landing on July 15 at 2pm AEST.
