Well well well, this is a night that has been a long time coming. I’ve been a self confessed maggot since 1999 but have somehow never managed to see my favourite band play ‘indoors’. Well, tonight that 16 year streak of misfortune ended, when I witnessed, no, I experienced, Slipknot Prepare For Hell in Glasgow. First though,…
Slipknot & KoRn anyone? This is probably completely unnecessary, but just in case anyone needs a reminder, what will almost certainly be the biggest metal tour of 2015 in the UK is set to begin tonight in the confines of Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena. Having already wowed their Irish fans in their first visit to the…
Mondays can be a bit rubbish in general can’t they? Not when Slipknot announce they’re returning to the UK for their first full headline tour over in six years they’re not. Slipknot haven’t done a full tour in the UK since late 2008 when they sold out all over the country, including three nights at…
A band who are no strangers to our shores and have always had good times in the UK, nu metal legends KoRn have announced a one off appearance in the UK as part of a run of shows that will mostly take place in Eastern Europe. The tour will take place in May 2014 and…
Making his Rocksins’ return after a rather eventful second half of 2013 where he’s now a national radio show presenter as part of the Metal Hammer Show team on Team Rock Radio as well as appearing at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, here’s the pick on the bunch from 2013 from the one and only Stephen…

Now on their latest release The Paradigm shift it seems that Korn are taking a step back to their 90s roots, perhaps helped by the…
This year has already seen great chart success in the UK for the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore, Five Finger Death Punch, Black Sabbath and Avenged Sevenfold (with the latter two acts each racking up a number one album). Last week Alter Bridge slammed their way onto the top ten UK album charts…
The last few weeks have had some huge album releases in the rock and metal world with new offerings from the likes of Alter Bridge and Dream Theater but for many people this one may be the biggest of the bunch; Bakerfields’ very own nu metal originators KoRn are celebrating the release of their new…
A few days ago here on Rocksins we covered the release of KoRn’s brand new single “Never Never” (which you can read about and watch the video for right here). Now we’re excited to bring our readers a brief look at a very special documentary charting a very unique period in the life of KoRn….
For a band as well known as KoRn, deciding how to follow up a unique album like 2011’s acclaimed The Path Of Totality, where the band experimented with dubstep and electronic elements on top of their trademark sound and collaborated with DJ’s and producers like Skrillex was always going to be an interesting question.
