Last week one of you accused us of being a "bunch of negative miserable fucks." I can only assume that this person had never been to this site before, and was somehow unaware that it's called "MetalSucks." Still, this was probably the best worst week ever, because: Devin Townsend took over our site for a day! We finally

Oh boy oh boy. We're getting closer to the release of The Binary Code's Suspension of Disbelief, which MetalSucks will sell in a digital-only format for a whopping five bucks starting December 15. Now we can share with you the cover art, which was designed by guitarist Jesse Zuretti (who also created this awesome MetalSucks

Well, I guess Alice in Chains can't hit a home run every time. The metal-related iPhone apps thus far - or, at least the ones I've seen - have, by and large, sucked. Oddly enough, Metallica, who haven't released too many products worth owning this (or last) decade, have the best ones: their Live Metallica and

From a Rhythm magazine interview with Dave Lombardo that I saw on Blabbermouth: Rhythm: Playing with METALLICA at Download in 2004 must have been quite an experience. Lombardo: "Yeah. Show 'em how it's done! No disrespect to Lars [Ulrich], because Lars is great and he's a very nice guy, but he needs to spend a week at

Reader Chris Peace sent us the below and declared Sweden’s Revolting to be “some of the best oldschool death metal I have ever heard in my life.” Personally, I think it’s good, but I don’t know if I’d bestow it with such high praise.Give it a listen, and the sing Chris’ praises or tell him [...]

Decibel have followed-up on their fascinating 2008 article on the transformation of Cretin’s Dan Martinez into Marissa Martinez with an interview with Martinez chronicling her vaginoplasty. Which is exactly what you think it is. Here’s an excerpt:In the months leading up to your surgery, what kinds of emotions were coursing through your veins?Honestly, I really [...]

With the Snot semi-reunion basically falling apart before it ever really got off the ground, the band’s remaining members -Mike Doling, John Fahnestock and Jamie Miller – needed to find another meal ticket. But rather than try and re-re-jigger Snot, they’ve decided to move forward under a new name: Tons.Yes, you read that correctly. They [...]

“Luminance” — from the Creative Eclipses EP — was the very first Cave In song I ever heard, sandwiched incongruously between I-don’t-even-remember-what on a mix-tape my friend XandrewX made me in… 1999, I guess. From thereon in I jumped headlong into the world of Cave In, and Jupiter pretty much blew my mind when I [...]

Obviously, my headline is a little sensationalistic. We waited a decade and a half for Chinese Democracy; it’s only been six (almost seven) years since the last Anthrax studio album, We’ve Come for You All. And wile CD apparently cost somewhere in neighborhood of $13 million dollars… well, I don’t know what the budget was/is [...]

The band is Anal Judicator — self-described as “the BEST Brutal MIDI Porn Grind band around” — and the song is “Cum Coated Colon.” Thanks to Car RamRod for this one.WARNING: NSFW!!!!-VNRELATED POSTS:VINCE CATCHES UP WITH TRIVIUM’S MATT HEAFYTHESE ARMS ARE SNAKES “RED LINE SEASON”: AN ACID TRIP OF A VIDEO

All this talk about Slash’s upcoming solo album has got me playing “Fantasy Velvet Revolver” in my head once again. Though I still hold out hope that Axl’s idea of having Perry Farrell front the band comes to fruition, I know in my heart that there’s probably a better chance of Scott Weiland rejoining [...]

Sometimes we get so caught caught up in minutae inside our little metal Internet bubble that we lose perspective on the bigger picture. Take this lampoon video from Current.com that highlights deathcore YouTube vocal covers (including our favorite, Señor Bivins) and mocks the differences between deathcore, death metal and metalcore. I’m pretty sure the guy [...]

Photographer Jason Nakleh was on hand at the Skeletonwitch / Black Anvil show this past Saturday in Brooklyn, part of the 3-day “Blackened Weekend” festival at which we saw a ton of awesome bands. We unfortunately had to miss Saturday’s show, but Jason was kind enough to contact us and let us live vicariously through [...]

This might be the least metal thing Boris has ever done. It sounds more like a Sigur Ros record! Still, this got me thinking perhaps I should have picked Wata over Atsuo in Reign In Blonde’s Hottest Chicks In Metal bracket.If you’re still interested – and I’ll understand if you’re not - Japanese [...]

Congrats to all five winners of last week’s funny photo caption contest. The first three winners listed below will all receive the Heavy Metal Killers vinyl and scarf courtesy of Earache Records, while the last two will receive just a scarf. The winners:Zel: “Stacy Wylde, sister to Zakk Wylde, practices the family tradition of putting [...]

Black metal, in spite of its more purist fans, has undergone so many stylistic permutations since the Norwegian second wave’s arson-fueled media explosion that I’m hard-pressed to even define what black metal sounds like circa 2009. By frankensteining elements of Mayhem, Bathory, Burzum, Darkthrone, Celtic Frost, Emperor, Venom, Enslaved, Ulver and countless other classics [...]

So while SOME of us are still here at the Mansion doing work (ahem), my main man Vince is going to be on Sirius XM Liquid Metal today from 4:30 to 9 pm TODAY. Vince has the sexiest speaking voice this side of C.C. DeVille, so if you get XM, definitely check it out!!!-ARPOPULAR POSTS:BTBAM [...]

Some people are talented. Some people are awesome. An even rarer breed happens to be both talented and awesome. Photographer Justina Villanueva is one of those people. If you go to metal shows in New York or New Jersey, you may have noticed this diminutive young lady snapping pics of some [...]

We’ve been talking about making MetalSucks merch almost as long as there’s been a MetalSucks, and “When can I buy a shirt?” is easily one of the questions we’re asked most frequently (along with “When is Completely Unreadable Band Logo coming back?” and “Why are you guys such assholes?”). Well, the day has arrived at [...]
