Jimmy Eat World's mainstream breakthrough album Bleed American turns 25 this year, and the band just announced an extensive tour celebrating the anniversary. They've lined up an incredible list of support acts, including longtime peers, bands that influenced them, and newer bands that they've inspired. That includes veteran emo and post-hardcore bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, The Get Up Kids, Hey Mercedes, Motion City Soundtrack, Girls Against Boys, Minus The Bear, and more.

In an interview with , Sharon revealed that she was recently "talking to Live Nation about bringing [Ozzfest] back." "It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people," she said. "We really started metal festivals in this country. It was [replicated but] never done with the spirit of what ours was, because ours was a place for new talent. It was like summer camp for kids."

How long has it been since you heard an album like Nevermind or Appetite for Destruction or Rust in Peace or Master of Puppets?

Gojira is the No. 1 reason to attend the 2025 Aftershock Festival this weekend at Discovery Park in Sacramento. The French quartet, which ranks on the short list of the greatest metal acts of all time, is absolutely sensational in concert and should pretty easily top Korn, Blink-182 and other big-name acts on the Aftershock bill. Yet, Gojira is only one of the many reasons to attend what is most certainly the best metal/hard-rock festival on the West Coast.

Gene Hoglan expressed excitement for the upcoming tour, stating, 'Thirty years of Symbolic and 35 years of Spiritual Healing! Two vastly different yet very important eras of Death. Both albums are going to be a blast to represent.'

La Dispute's 'Environmental Catastrophe Film' captivates with a nine-minute narrative, blending spoken word and screamo, crafted intricately into a post-hardcore storyline.

"Song 3" is a cross-continental collaboration blending BABYMETAL's kawaii elements with Slaughter to Prevail's brutal deathcore, creating a controlled chaos that’s avant-garde.

Fugitive's first new music in two years, 'Spheres of Virulence,' is one of the best thrash offerings of 2025 thus far, showcasing a more refined sound.
