High on Fire are celebrating 25 years of music with a release of their out-of-print record The Art of Self Defense.  They also announced a new record will drop in 2024 and that they will be heading out on the road to celebrate different eras of their career as they go. [embedded content] The Art

There certainly seems to be no love lost for Cradle of Filth frontman Dani Filth when it comes to the popular online music streaming service Spotify. In a recent interview with Sakis Fragos of Rock Hard Greece (transcribed by Blabbermouth), the vocalist called out the service and its practice of paying artists next to nothing

We’re starting to get the feeling that Iron Maiden‘s Bruce Dickinson may be over the whole “always the bridesmaid, never the bride” feeling they’ve had lately regarding the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite being eligible since 2005 and only recently having been nominated twice, Iron Maiden has yet to pass the threshold needed

Oh, hell yes. We recently questioned whether Baroness had something new in the tank and our suspicions ended up being validated, as the band took to social media to tease something new coming on Tuesday, June 20. Along with the new song, we’re likely to get new album information, since their social media post also

It’s not much of a stretch to say American politics — at least when you ask a specific side — is theocratic in nature. Lots of talk about God and scripture and the Bible being thrown around in the halls of law and justice these days. To combat those sentiments and to directly oppose an

Experimental folk music act Heilung are bringing their utterly unique live show back to the states for a quick 10-date slate of shows. According to the band, they’re hitting cities and regions they haven’t been to before, so if they aren’t playing near you, that’s why. Kicking off on October 17 at Greensboro, North Carolina’s

For the first time ever, Metal Injection is stepping out into the world and putting on a killer festival featuring some of today’s most exciting acts. For one weekend in September, bands like Exhumed, Xibalba, Spirit Adrift, and Exmortus will share the stage with titans like Testament, Cavalera, Fear Factory, and Machine Head for the

When it comes to video game concepts that instantly sounded metal as fuck, the concept behind Metal: Hellsinger ranks pretty high up there. I mean, you get to murder demons in Hell by shooting in time with kick ass metal tracks featuring vocals by the likes of Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, Refused’s Dennis Lyxzén,

Roughly three months since the release of their latest album V: Djent Is Not A Genre, Periphery has finally scheduled their first headlining shows of 2023 — but just barely before 2024 hits. Announced earlier today, the progressive metal band revealed they’d be playing on November 4 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California

If you’re ever going to be sick during a concert or potentially put yourself at risk of breaking your damn neck crowdsurfing, I hope it’s during a Trivium show. Not because I want you to get hurt or suffer in any way, but rather because we’d all be able to rest easy knowing the band’s

Normally, when people get diagnosed with nearly any form of cancer, they tend to describe it as “devastating,” “worrying,” even “scary.” Yet during an interview with Revolver leading up to the release of Queens of the Stone Age’s newest album In Times New Roman…, frontman Josh Homme called it “the cherry on top of an

Today Is the Day made fans happy last week when they announced both U.S. and European tour dates to celebrate their 30th anniversary. The band are also working on a new album and plan on releasing more information soon. The disjointed but expansive tour will start in Maine and then move over to Belgium and

Dreadnought, Immortal Bird, and Izthmi are embarking on a North American tour this July. Dreadnought play proggy metal and hail from Denver, while Immortal Bird are Chicago-based and play blackened sludge and Izthmi are from Seattle and play atmospheric black metal. The complimentary contrast of this tour will be something to write home about. The

Stanley Sievers, the comedian who coined the “Mosh Retirement Guy” character, is making a new mockumentary about that very character. The plot, which frankly sounds amazing, is about the character getting in trouble for crowdkilling and getting banned from shows. When his favorite band plays a reunion show, he has to find the person he

Say what you will about Metallica; they’re still loud enough to get noise complaints from the locals. When the band played at Download Festival at Donington Park on June 8, DerbyshireLive reports that their set could be heard as far away as 15 miles away in the town of West Hallam, resulting in noise complaints. One

In just a few weeks’ time, Pantera will head out on their summer North American tour with Lamb of God in what could be one of the more highly anticipated run of dates this season. Earlier today, the bands that will provide support at each stop was announced. Rather than go with the same opener

A couple weeks ago, I shared with you guys the reveal trailer for Netherrealm Games’ highly anticipated fighter, Mortal Kombat 1. At the time, people in the know gave me shit, since it looked like a glorified CG trailer with zero gameplay. A fair criticism for sure, but I’d be lying if I said the

During his band’s set last night in Dallas, Texas, Trivium frontman Matt Heafy was suddenly forced to pull double duty as he rushed to do security’s job and help a crowd surfing fan avoid injury. While it’s not the first time he’s stopped things to ensure the people coming to see Trivium play are safe,

When Oscar Wilde said “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” he could have never imagined the sheer amount of imitation (otherwise known as covers) available over on YouTube. Scores of fans from all over the world show off their talents and perform their favorite songs simply because they love the music. Hell, even some

Movie obsessed grindcore outfit Graf Orlock have long been a favorite of the degenerates that run MetalSucks over the years, so who am I to buck tradition? After listening to their new single “Dead Out of the Sun” from their upcoming EP End Credits, which you can check out below, I can honestly say this
