These Underoath Photos Will Make You Feel Like You're There - Photo Gallery

We were able to catch the Underoath Rebirthing tour in Kansas City last night, and what a tour it is. If you were a fan of the Underoath of yesteryear and were wondering if it is worth your hard earned money to go catch them live in 2016, all I can tell you is “absolutely”. Check out these live photos in the slideshow below, captured by Colt Coan of the post-hardcore veterans. You’ll feel like…

Top 5 Songs of the Week - 3/18

Top 5 Songs of the Week – 3/18

If it’s Friday, it must be time for another Top 5 Songs of the Week. This week was unusually slow for new music, so we’re going to break our own rules again and mix a little country in with some Norwegian metal, some good ol’ American hard rock, some grunge and another local rock band. We’re breaking a trend this week, as we don’t have a female rocker on the list for the first time since we…

REVIEW: Metric at Hammerstein Ballroom

Canadian indie rockers Metric took to the stage at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom on 3/11 (no, 311 did not make an appearance) for their I Can See The End tour, performing a 21-song barrage of hits and new tracks for a crowd that, while not at capacity, did fill the entire general admission section all the way to the exits plus the VIP sections, for a performance complete with strobes, beach…

REVIEW: Killswitch Engage at Gramercy Theatre

REVIEW: Killswitch Engage at Gramercy Theatre

Killswitch Engage started their 5-night takeover of New York City at Gramercy Theatre on Sunday night, performing in front of a massively oversold crowd to promote their new album Incarnate. We were there for the ensuring ruckus, as was to be expected from Killswitch given their history of “engaging” the crowd, i.e lead singer Jesse Leach jumping off the stage and into the crowd to join the fans.…

3 Doors Down, the Mississippi-based rockers who rose to fame on the heels of Kryptonite, are back on the scene with their upcoming album, Us And The Night, set to be released on Friday. We got an early listen, and the band’s latest effort is every bit as good as previous albums, mixing elements from each of their previous releases to compile another solid studio album to add to their resumé.

NEWS: AC/DC Postpones Remaining Us Tour Dates, May Be Finished

I was about to give myself the rest of the night off when news of the seemingly imminent demise of legendary rock band AC/DC broke. The band has announced that the remaining 10 dates of their US Rock or Bust tour have been postponed, with frontman Brian Johnson being instructed to stop touring immediately due to the risk of total hearing loss. Closing night of this tour was scheduled for April…

INTERVIEW: New York Rockers Midnight Mob

INTERVIEW: New York Rockers Midnight Mob

Here at Rockroll  Magazine, we get quite a bit of music sent to us every day. Some of it makes the cut for a weekly feature we like to call Top 5 Songs of the Week, and the band we featured at #1 in our very first Top 5, Midnight Mob for their song Ghosts, off their forthcoming EP Honest Brutal Glorious, were cool enough to give us an email interview. These guys and girls combine to form a very…

REVEIW: The Struts at Irving Plaza in NYC

REVEIW: The Struts at Irving Plaza in NYC

Often times when a new artist is compared to a legendary band of yesteryear, it builds expectations and brings with it great hype. The Struts, the latest entry in the category of UK-export rock bands, are the latest band to be met with such hype and expectations following comparisons to Queen and The Rolling Stones, comparisons which would surely be met with disappointment in most regards. The…

Top 5 Songs of the Week – 3/4

It’s time for another edition of Rockroll Magazine’s Top 5 Songs of the Week, for the week ending March 4th. It’s been a bit of a slow week for new music, but we do have a new single from SIXX A.M, as well as a new track from a sister act (noticing a trend?) and another local band out of New York to rank this week. As usual, all songs featured here are new recordings and came to us within the…

Helloween Rocks New York

Helloween Rocks New York

German power metal group Helloween brought their “God Given Right” tour to Playstation Theater in New York City on Tuesday, performing in front of crowd of roughly half the venue’s capacity along with support from “Them”, a group I could best describe as a ghoulish heavy metal band whose show is more theater than music, complete with a coffin and a leg bone as a mic stand. It’s been a good while…

REVIEW: Sumerian Records 10th Anniversary Show – NYC

Sumerian Records brought their 10th anniversary tour to Gramercy Theatre in NYC on Saturday, featuring Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya and After The Burial with support from ERRA and newly-signed Bad Omens.  Normally I’m not one for deathcore/metalcore/hardcore/insert super-heavy, screaming-vocal genre here, but with the vibe the massively oversold crowd brought with it, how could you not feel this?…

Nu metal group From Ashes To New released their Better Noise Records debut album, Day One, on Friday. We got an early listen thanks to the fine people at Eleven Seven, who were nice enough to advance us a copy for review. Hailing from the heart of Amish Country in Lancaster, PA, From Ashes To New mixes elements of hip hop and metal to produce a sound that immediately evokes memories of early…

ALBUM REVIEW: Anthrax - For All Kings

ALBUM REVIEW: Anthrax – For All Kings

Thrash metallers and “big four” members Anthrax dropped their latest album, For All Kings, on Friday 2/26. For All Kings is the band’s 11th studio album and the follow up to 2011’s Worship Music. We got our hands on the album a few days early and were able to review it. Read through for our thoughts. I’ll start by saying that I joined the party very late on Anthrax, getting my first real taste of…
