Holy shit, has it really been another year already? And MetalSucks is still around? Who the fuck is reading this site? Don’t they know about None Louder?Oh, well. If anyone is still paying attention to what these pussy boogers have to say, they surely won’t after today. For today, this most glorious of winter Thursdays, [...]

Alright, technical snafus have passed and we are back, baby!So mazel tov to Brandon Wagner, who correctly answered last night’s trivia question: yes, it was Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy who turned Vince down for our inaugural “Jew on Jew” interview. No, we’re not bitter about it. But fuck you, Mike. But, no, really, we don’t [...]

Before we had pubes or had discovered metal, we thought that Billy Joel was the shit. As I got older, I seriously thought that someone could turn Joel’s song “pressure” into a pretty awesome metal cover. I always dreamed it would be Stratovarius or someone kind of Stratovarius-esque, but I’ll settle for For Whom the [...]

In October I published a piece about Carnal Rapture, an Italian band that had recently sent me their 2008 demo. That 5-song disc still stands as the best demo I’ve heard all year from any independent metal band, anywhere in the world. It’s great; it’s fresh, it’s technical, it’s jazzy, it’s soulful… and most of [...]

Speaking of Invisible Oranges: Anthony Abboreno wrote a piece today on a band I’ve never heard of, called Slugathor. Based soley on the band’s name, I decided to check them out, and guess what? They rule. I could tell you why, but Abboreno did a pretty good job and I’m lazy, so I’m just going [...]

So says Cosmo Lee at Invisible Oranges in a piece about the (admittedly pretty sucky) band Carach Angren. But I take serious issue with this declaration.Would Cosmo really rather be trapped in a room listening to Cold or Trixster or Winds of Plague, who he once said “may be the worst band I have ever [...]

So I’m still finalizing my year-end list for 2009, and now those bastards at The End Records have gone and sent me an album that it definitely going to be a competitor for my year-end list for 2010: Scenes from Hell, an album so delightfully bat shit crazy it could only have come from the [...]

Now that I’ve passed off my Best of 2009 list to Axl and Vince, I can now thankfully move on to thinking about what’s to come in 2010. After many agonizing years of legal wrangling, Close Calls With Brick Walls, Andrew W.K.’s follow up to The Wolf, will at last see a proper stateside [...]

The concept of another Rammstein strikes me as kinda silly, because, well, we’ve already got Rammstein. As far as industrial metal songs sung in German go, Rammstein fill that niche rather nicely. But here we’ve got Hanzel Und Gretyl — a band from New York City, no less, singing in faux German accents — doing [...]

Devin Townsend is releasing one “Deep Thoughts” video per week on his own Addicted e-card site, as Axl reported last week (and yes, that’s Jack Handy, not “George”). In this week’s installment, Devin shares his thoughts on the nature of infinity and… well, just watch.The MetalSucks staffers will all be publishing their year-end Top 20 [...]

So those covers for the Metal Hammer Dimebag tribute album are starting to surface I guess. First one up is Unearth’s version of “Sandblasted Skin,” which they’re now streaming on their MySpace page.And it’s pretty good. I mean, Unearth are a good band, they’re certainly heavily influenced by Pantera, and they didn’t really that many [...]

We’ve chosen a winner for our massive Between the Buried and Me Great Misdirect contest!

After the jump, [...]

After a brutal and packed weekend of Municipal Waste, Brutal Truth, Gwar, and partying, I headed to the Trocadero in Philadelphia a little late to catch half of the Vader show, unfortunately missing the first three bands [Vince caught openers The Amenta and Augury earlier on the tour. -Ed.].Deathcore kids Rose Funeral played to a [...]

First thing’s first: I hate to spoil everyone’s holiday fun, but when I ask you to include a certain something in the subject line for a contest and/or your name and address, and you DON’T do those things, what do you think that does for your chances of winning? Hm? Okay! Now that we got [...]

I’m continually amazed at what folks come up with to litter along the information superhighway……this gem, hotchickspickingupdogshit.com, is apparently part of a misogeniustic collection of websites involving females doing silly crass shiz, such as sticking their fists in their mouths, plunging their toilets, hanging out with boner’d dogs, smiling at Ground Zero, and sticking hot [...]

Our email boxes have been blowing up about this for the past week, but until the BBC and Billboard reported that it actually had legs I just thought it was another ridiculous Internet campaign.The campaign is an online effort to get Rage Against the Machine’s 1992 hit “Killing in the Name” to grab the top [...]

I knew that Shane Mehling was a great writer (he routinely contributes to Decibel, but I think that this is pretty fuckin’ hilarious – not to mention intelligent), but because I’m a stoned nimrod, I had no idea that he was also a musician.But a musician Shane is – specifically, he’s currently the bassist and [...]
