American Head Charge Vocalist and Co-Founder Cameron Heacock Profiled on Soft White Underbelly About Being Homeless on Los Angeles’ Skid Row

Featured


American Head Charge’s vocalist and co-founder Cameron Heacock has been profiled on the award winning YouTube channel/photobook series Soft White Underbelly about his curent situation, homeless and dealing with drug additiction on skid row in Downtown Los Angeles. The interview is a harrowing glimpse into his life after music, as well as his entire life story and the career of AHC, once rising rock stars and proteges of System of A Down and their first producer, Rick Rubin. The band had as many tragedies as they did triumphs, releasing four albums, and EP and a DVD from 1999, including 2001’s The War of Art (American Recordings) and 2005 The Feeding (DRT Entertainment) with the hit singles “Loyalty” and “Cowards” – the entrance music for former UFC champion Chuck Liddell. The band has claimed they never saw a cent of royalties from this album. Their final album was Tango Umbrella for Napalm Records in 2016. They performed on Ozzfest 2001, and would open for SOAD, Slayer, Slipknot, Marylin Manson, Kittie, Muidvayne, Life of Agony, Biohazard, and many more. But the band had as many lows with several breakups, reformations, and drug rehab stints, the death of former guitarist Bryan Ottosen on tour in 2005, and the death of bassist and co-founder Chad Hanks in 2017 of a terminal illness.

FEATURE: Who Would Step In for Peter Steele for a Theoretical Type O Negative Tribute Concert?

Featured


 

Ghost Cult scribe Wil Cifer ponders the previously unthinkable – what if there was a Type o Negative tribute concert to the late Peter Steele and to the bands’ legacy? Who would be able to fill those massive shoes and do proper justice to The Green Man, we all love so dearly. This is speculative and just a bit of playful, educated spell casting, nothing more. Peter is irreplacaeble, and we know that.

CONCERT REVIEW: Stone Temple Pilots – The Toadies Live at Concrete Street Amphitheater


Stone Temple Pilots absolutely lit up Concrete Street Amphitheater on November 6, 2025, and man… what a night. The last time I saw them was way back in 1993 at the old Memorial Coliseum (RIP to that legendary building). I still remember being completely floored by the power of their sound—like they punched a hole straight through my teenage brain and rewired it with pure rock.

ALBUM REVIEW: Night Resident – Total Obscurity


 

Total Obscurity is the third album from the Greek proto-Metal band Night Resident. They flirt with a similar brand of saccharine melodies to offset the rock edge. The double-tracked vocal harmonies are effective at times; for every song, they create a uniformity to their sound that is hard to shake, but first, let’s clear the air about something: these guys are marketed as being a “dark” rock band. As someone whose name is associated with being a purveyor of dark music, it would be a betrayal of trust for me to say anything that implies there is anything dark going on here.Continue reading
