And now, this week’s top stories:

• We premiered new videos by Protest the Hero and the Melvins, plus new music by Pyrrhon and Wild Throne.
• As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis pled guilty to charges of attempted murder, and faces up to nine years in prison. The internet reacted with its characteristic elegance.
• Prepare your cyanide pills: the nu-metal revival apocalypse is here.
• After announcing that “We’ve fired our gay drummer” Gus Rios, Malevolent Creation tried to apologize — and completely failed.
• Big week for Mastodon, who said that they may play Leviathan in its entirety to celebrate the album’s tenth anniversary, hinted that they might release a new EP after their new LP, and dressed in drag.
• Unsurprisingly, the Bring Me the Horizon balcony jumper turned out to be an idiot.
• Metalheaddating.com helped us find that certain special headbanger.
• Asking Alexandria released an incredibly awful Nine Inch Nails cover. Luckily, this other NIN cover by bassist Zander Zon made up for it.
• After annihilating the goal for his crowdfunding campaign in just one day, Devin Townsend announced that Ziltoid 2 will be a double album.
• New Suicide Silence vocalist Eddie Hermida (ex-All Shall Perish) revealed that the band’s new album will contain some of Mitch Lucker’s final lyrics.

Have a terrific weekend, y’all. See ya Monday.
