Our Current Times   We are living in the age of artificial intelligence, and although it has been a great help in many ways, it also has negative effects. One of those negative effects has been its impact on music. Music is a creation, and it was mostly human until some AI apps that generate music like Suno or Udio started releasing bands, albums, and discographies commanded by its users. A person writes a prompt…

Skid Row is once again looking for a lead singer. And at this point… I have to ask: Why? Skid Row is an American heavy metal band formed in 1986. They became one of the biggest heavy metal bands of the late 80s, with songs like 18 and Life and I Remember You. They were a part of the hair metal, glam of the 80’s, but with a touch of punk and a little bit more aggressive…

Why Talk About Bad Bunny on a Metal Blog?   I bet you never would have thought that I would ever write about Bad Bunny, but music is music, and when something important happens, it is worth mentioning. Every so often, a moment is so massive it deserves to be talked about, regardless of the genre. Music is music, and I love to talk about it, always. I’m a metalhead and a Latina, yet I…

I’ve been going to concerts (rock and metal) since I was 16, more than 28 years (and also a few others before that age, with my parents or friends), and at 1 a month, I guess I’ve been to around 300 concerts in my life so far to know what I’m talking about.   The Bad   I originally thought about the things I hate about concerts, yet hate is a strong word (maybe more…

To answer the question in the title, does it still make sense to write about metal in 2026? For me, yes, more than ever. I wanted to start this new year with one of my first posts of 2026, a self-reflection post.   When Music Becomes Disposable   With all that is going on around us, political and cultural crises, people are losing faith in mankind. AI artists generating music and streaming platforms making music…

Happy 2026!!! I wish you all the best for this new year. I want to make a recap of 2025, a personal post, and what I’m looking forward to in 2026. In retrospect, this was a great year for me. I went to Spain in 2024 and in 2025 earned my master’s degree in digital marketing from the Universidad de Salamanca. With that new knowledge, I founded my digital marketing agency, Heavy and Green (heavyandgreen.com), focused…

This 2025 left us many good albums; however, here are my top 10 picks. First place, and this is no surprise, goes to Sleep Token with Even In Arcadia.     1. Sleep Token – Even In Arcadia  This anonymous English band creates a beautiful mix of genres like progressive metal, jazz, hip hop, among others, with poetic lyrics, calm and heavy moments, all played with incredible virtuosity. For me, this album is not just…

Singers are the front person of bands. They leave a mark on it and are the people associated with a particular band in the audience’s mind. So when they leave/get fired, or die, most of the time, it causes a collapse in those bands. Yet there are cases in these bands that have survived and even thrived with two or multiple vocalists.   AC/DC   They are an Australian rock band formed in 1973 and…
