British thrash metal stalwarts Evile have been going full speed for years. But as you can hear in the first single and title track from The Unknown, a new album coming out on July 14 via Napalm Records, they’re taking a different approach to new music. Rather than melting your face off with blistering fast

The thrash metal world was dealt a heavy blow back in March when we all learned that founding member and Dark Angel guitarist Jim Durkin had passed away at 58 years old. The news came as a particular shock, since it was announced that the band was working on new material and had special gigs

Twenty-one years have elapsed since Yob, Oregon’s premiere stoner doom band, burst forth with their debut release Elaboration of Carbon. Though they’ve grown and evolved as a band since their 2002 days, it’s important to know where a band like Yob started to see where they’ve ended up. Sadly, Elaboration of Carbon hasn’t exactly been

A few months ago, Godsmack announced that their latest album Light Up the Sky was going to be their last new album, effectively announcing their retirement from writing new music. They’d still play shows and tour, mind you, but the cycle of write, record, do press, tour extensively on the back of a new album,

Whether you think it’s good, bad or just plain weird, the latest Avenged Sevenfold output has been showing off a different side of the band. The band have been very open about the fact that they wanted to try new things on Life Is But a Dream… and they’ve furthered elaborated on which artists influenced

Legal proceedings and a lack of official representation in the music industry be damned, Marilyn Manson is teasing something on his Instagram page. Just a few hours ago, the disgraced shock rocker whose last musical output was a guest spot on a Kanye West track, told his fans and followers that he had “something for

Glam metal legends Mötley Crüe are powering forward full speed ahead with new guitarist John 5, legal complications with former guitarist Mick Mars be damned.

We’re already pumped about Rockstar, Dolly Parton‘s forthcoming rock album, and now, she has released the first song from that record, “World On Fire.” It’s no secret that Dolly has been making headlines lately with her bold opposition to the anti-trans and anti-drag laws in her home state of Tennessee, no doubt pissing off the

It’s been almost a month Metallica‘s 72 Seasons dropped and it’s been two weeks since their massive M72 world tour kicked off, but the excitement around the biggest metal band in the world remains white hot. Over the last few days, Metallica’s camp has been slow dripping some high-def, pro-shot footage from their April 29

Texas death metal band Severance had a creative idea and played a show in front of their local GameStop during the drop of the new The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom drop. This took place on May 11, the night fans lined up outside GameStops across the U.S. to wait for their copy

This week saw some killer new releases and fresh new tracks hit the internets. And you know what that means — another update to the MetalSucks Playlist! Just as we’ve done in past weeks, we’ve taken some of the tracks we posted about and slapped them into the playlist, while getting rid of some of

Yesterday, desert rock mainstays Queens of the Stone Age announced their next studio release In Times New Roman…, along with its first single “Emotion Sickness.” At the time, all we got was an audio visualizer of the song but earlier today, the band dropped the song’s official music video and boy, is it weird. Serving

Happy Friday! God is dead and all we got is a new Avenged Sevenfold song. Ascended Dead Evenfall of the Apocalypse (20 Buck Spin) California death dealers Ascended Dead are here to chew bubblegum and play ripping death metal and they’re all out of bubblegum. Evenfall of the Apocalypse is one of the nastiest and

We’ve all known for a long time now that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a fucking joke. They don’t care about our piece of the music world and that was made even more apparent this year when Soundgarden and Iron Maiden won the fan vote but organizers decided to say “nope.” Never

After various rumors surrounding a new album, Queens of the Stone Age have officially announced their new record, In Times New Roman…, for a June 16 release via Matador Records.

Of all the places you’d expect to hear a real discussion of mental health issues, a freakin’ Disturbed concert wouldn’t be one that came to mind. Yet that’s what happened during the band’s May 4 appearance at Hog Fest, as vocalist David Draiman took a moment out of the show to open up about his

Notable visual artist Frank Kozik, responsible for album covers like Melvins‘ Houdini, the Offspring‘s Americana and Queens of the Stone Age‘s self-titled record, has died at 61. A statement issued by his wife Sharon reads: “Frank was a man larger than himself, an icon in each genre he worked in. He dramatically changed the industry

Metal and hardcore shows can sometimes get fucking crazy, as people mosh, crowd surf, and otherwise cause a ruckus to show their support of the band on stage. It’s just a fact of life at this point and you’d think security personnel would know that fact and either have policies implemented to stop that sort

Old habits die hard. Usually that phrase refers to things like wanting a cigarette after you’ve quit for a few years or driving to your old apartment even though you moved. In the case of former Megadeth member David Ellefson and forever Megadeth main man Dave Mustaine, it’s bitching about your former bandmates. In a

Somehow, some way, Mötley Crüe vocalist Vince Neil is going to take enough time out from being mediocre (if we’re being generous) behind a mic to be a guest judge on an ongoing music competition TV series, Banded: The Musician Competition. The show, which will air on AXS TV starting Saturday, May 13, features 25
