With International Women's Day happening on Sunday, we here at Maniacs wanted to pay tribute to all the amazing women that help make heavy music a more balanced and inclusive affair, whether it be in a band or just a fan!

In some HUGE tour news, cheeky glam rockers Steel Panther have announced that they'll be hitting Australia and New Zealand for their Heavy Metal Rules tour in May, bringing Sevendust along for the ride!

Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil have pulled out of their upcoming performances at Download 2020, as well as the rest of their scheduled Asian shows due to the spread of Coronavirus.

Sometimes it's hard to keep up with what's going on in the heavy world, and sometimes you just want to throw something on in the background and use your ears to find out instead of having to read through a bunch of different articles.

After teasing something new on their socials only a couple of days ago, the rumours were true - Trivium have revealed that a new album called What The Dead Men Say will be out on April 24!
