The biggest names in rock and metal came together in Los Angeles Thursday night to celebrate the genre and honor their peers at the Golden Gods Awards 2013.

There were no (noticeable) kinks from Bullet For My Valentine’s nearly-sold out tour kick off at the Fillmore Auditorium on Friday.

It’s amazing how the simplest of details can make or break a concert. Strategic lighting, a captivating set design or in the case of A Day to Remember — rolls of toilet paper and an Angry Bird costume.

Reverb spoke with David Draiman about the debut album from Device, his favorite addiction and why he’s nervous again for the first time in 16 years.

Reverb caught up with Jesse Leach to talk about “Disarm the Descent” (out April 2) and why he says this feels like a brand new Killswitch Engage.

Tuesday night’s sold out audience at the Fillmore was enthusiastic — easy to please even. There to see In This Moment, All That Remains, Hellyeah and Lola Black, just about anything could send the crowd into frenzy. Chad Gray of Hellyeah could shout out what he had for breakfast and the place would go nuts.

Monday night’s concert brought out thousands of rock diehards to Broomfield’s 1stBank Center for Shinedown, Three Days Grace and POD.

Fans seeking answers to the My Chemical Romance break up woke up today to a letter and sort-of-explanation on frontman Gerard Way’s Twitlonger page.

Escape The Fate talks about the band’s return after hiatus and announces tour dates.

Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe has been acquitted of manslaughter charges stemming from a fan’s death after a 2010 concert in Prague.
