WHITECHAPEL's Zach Householder Talks About NEW Album, "Mayhem Fest" & Upcoming Tour With HATEBREED!


Last Sunday (August 5th), the fifth edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival came to a conclusion in Hartford, Connecticut. As it is typical, the New England Metallers know how to have a good time and never let anything (especially bad weather) get in the way of their appointment with Heavy Music. It was really cool to see so many generations of music both on and off stage, gathered together in unity! This is ultimately what Mayhem Fest represents.

Once again, the Knoxville, TN sextet WHITECHAPEL displayed their visual and aural assault on fans across the country as part of the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. The band has made it very clear that their recently released self-titled album, is a more mature sonic assault that will surely win the band a slew of NEW fans.

Whitechapel's set list for the last Mayhem Fest:

1) Possession
2) The Darkest Day of Man
3) This Is Exile
4) I, Dementia
5) Section 8
6) Possibilities of an Impossible Existence

Right after WHITECHAPEL finished their last set of this year's Mayhem Fest, we had the chance to chat with guitarist Zach Householder about the bands NEW studio album, their experience at the fest and what the future holds for one of America's hardest working bands! Watch it here!

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA Learn NEW Tricks From SLAYER & SLIPKNOT At Mayhem Fest!


Last Sunday (August 5th), the fifth edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival came to a conclusion in Hartford, Connecticut. As it is typical, the New England Metallers know how to have a good time and never let anything (especially bad weather) get in the way of their appointment with Heavy Music. It was really cool to see so many generations of music both on and off stage, gathered together in unity! This is ultimately what Mayhem Fest represents.

Ever since THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA released their fourth full-length studio album 'Dead Throne', which is the bands most successful album to date (debuted at #10 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums charts, and landed on a number of "Best of 2011" lists), the band has been touring nonstop and proving that they have a lot of years to come that will include a lot of music and shows.

The Devil Wears Prada's set list for the last Mayhem Fest:

1) Born To Lose
2) Escape (without intro)
3) Outnumbered
4) Assistant to the Regional Manager
5) Dead Throne (Alternative intro)
6) Constance
7) Danger: Wildman
8) Dez Moines

Right after THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA finished their last set of this year's Mayhem Fest, we had the chance to chat with drummer Daniel Williams and bassist Andy Tricks about the bands experience at the fest and what they learned from bands like SLIPKNOT and SLAYER! Watch it here!

Machine Head's Phil Demmel & Dave McClain Discuss NEW Album & Life on the Road


As we all know, Machine Head are currently putting the final touches to their seventh studio album titled "Unto The Locust" (set to be released on September 20th via Roadrunner Records). Judging from their first single "Locust", the record touches on darker themes and Robb Flynn has declared it to be his most personal record to date. At current time Flynn is flying back and forth between Oakland, California (where the record is being mixed) and the 2011 Rockstar Mayhem Festival! We had the chance to catch up with lead guitarist Phil Demmel and drummer Dave McClain, to discuss with them the new album and how they keep themselves focused while living on the road. This interview is not to be missed! Headbang motherfukkas!


"It is a different record then 'The Blackening', but we feel like we stepped our game up again." - Phil Demmel


"We are super proud of this record. In the last three albums, including this one, we've had complete musical freedom to do what we want to do. It is the first time we have the same lineup for more than two records. We feel that as much as we love 'The Blackening', we feel really proud of this one and are certain that people will feel the same way about this record as they did with 'Through the Ashes of Empires' and 'The Blackening". - Dave McClain

Highlights Video of the Rockstar Mayhem Festival in Hartford Connecticut!

For the first time ever and certainly not the last, Horns Up Rocks was on board covering the 2011 Rockstar Mayhem Festival! We purposely chose to cover the event this past Sunday in Hartford, Connecticut, because that crowd never disappoints and is always about having a headbanging rocking time. We spoke with Dave McClain from Machine Head today and he felt that Sunday's show was the best one so far in these years rocking festivities. Click here to read The Horns Up Rocks Recap of Mayhemfest in Hartford Connecticut.

During the event we did a handful of interviews with members of Megadeth, Machine Head, In Flames, Unearth, and Kingdom Of Sorrow. We also captured some amazing pictures of the bands and fans alike.
