A ridiculous year for metal.

Whatever the intent, we're sure the aggressively good-natured Grohl can take it.

During Mastodon‘s set at the Portugal’s Rock in Lisboa Festival last month, there was one crowd member who stuck out from the rest.

Candlebox are back in full force with a new album, ‘Love Stories and Other Musings,’ and lead singer Kevin Martin says the album’s inspiration came from a very different place in his life than it did when the band first broke out in the early ’90s. He also offers a surprising list of metal acts among the bands that help inspire his songwriting.

And the winner is… Foo Fighters for ‘White Limo!’ Foo Fighters have just beaten out Mastodon, Megadeth, Dream Theater and Sum 41 for the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance.
