Rig Rundown: Dethklok [2026]

This spring, the revered death metal band Dethklok—the very definition of TV turned reality, after the band jumped from the show Metalocalypse onto real stages nearly two decades ago—has been on tour with Swedish melodic death-metal giants Amon Amarth. Last month, they blew the roof off of Fenway’s MGM Music Hall, and PG’s Chris Kies joined Dethklok leader Brendon Small, bassist Pete Griffin, and tech Robb Philpotts before the gig for this new Rig Rundown. We’ve gathered a few highlights below; watch the video for the complete picture.

Rig Rundown: Crowbar

New Orleans heavyweights Crowbar have been on a relentless tour of sellout shows this spring, with a schedule of dates that would have bands half their age fainting. Ahead of their gig at Eastside Bowl in Madison, Tennessee, PG’s Chris Kies talked with guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein, guitarist Matt Brunson, and bassist Pat Bruders to see what gear they’re using to conjure their crushing wall of sludgy hardcore.
