Ever since its release in 1987, Anthrax‘s “Indians” off the seminal record Among the Living remains one of the best thrash tracks ever conceived.

Living Wreckage, a project that includes members from Shadows Fall and Anthrax, released a new single and accompanying music video earlier this week titled “The End Of The Line.” The track was released in a bid to support their recently released full-length self-titled album.

Extreme death metal outfit Sanguisugabogg are returning to the forefront of in-your-face insanity, as they announced earlier today that they’ve got a new album titled Homicidal Ecstasy coming out.

I’m a firm believer that if we don’t reign in our advancement in artificial technology, then we’ll be choking on nuclear fallout at the hands of angry robots, a la Terminator 2. It only makes sense. Yet here we are with another music video created by an AI programmed to make unique imagery based on

Dust off your Canadian tuxedos and put some Molson on ice — one of the biggest Canadian exports is getting recognized for their indelible imprint on rock music, as Nickelback will be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame next year. Their selection into their home country’s music hall of fame was announced earlier

Not very bands make it to the two decade mark, so when one does meet that milestone, it’s cause for celebration. Which is why metalcore act August Burns Red is planning to go on a 43-date trek across the U.S. that eventually ends in Canada from February 15 to May 12, 2023. Not only will

Fires in the Distance just dropped a new album (well, technically a live version of an old album), Live at Telfunken, and shared a video for the track “The Lock and the Key” from the same performance. The album showcases the full performance of the band’s 2020, debut record, Echoes From Deep November—a record they

This past Thursday, Corrosion of Conformity headed out on the road for a 14-date string of shows in a bid to bring their special brand of swagger and groovy riffs to the masses. Along with Spirit Adrift and The Native Howl in tow, it’s certain to be a bill that you don’t want to miss

Thy Art is Murder are heading out from down under to celebrate their 10-year anniversary with a seriously heavy lineup of bands in tow and support from their label, Nuclear Blast.

If you’ve ever wanted to score a severed face from revered dealers of death themselves, Cannibal Corpse, you’re in luck. The band are selling an extremely limited number of Niko Kala-created masks on their current tour, and if you’re lucky enough to be in one of the early cities they are playing, you might just

It’s no secret that artists regularly find inspiration from one another. Game respect game and all that. And while it’s natural for in-genre performers to be able to rattle off a long list of bands that paved the way for their particular sound. But what about a band that’s metal-adjacent but not entirely metal? Can

World’s richest man and life-long poster boy for “failing upwards” Elon Musk is headed back into the legal hot seat again and this time it’s got nothing to do with Twitter. Next week, the world’s richest man will square off against one of his most unique challengers yet – former Dawn of Correction drummer Richard

Looking back at the thrash metal scene of the 80s, it’s easy to imagine a time when bands rose to prominence, flared out, and new bands emerged from those ashes. Kind of like how stars grow, explode, and form new stars, thrash metal bands had to be forged out of hardships and in some instances

When it comes to becoming a super rich and famous musician, the odds of making it are so astronomically small that it’s hard to imagine. Right place, right time and all that shit. It’s a big reason why metal singers decide to hang it up end land on some corner of the internet writing about

(Editor’s note: Let’s face it — most metalheads are a buncha nerds. To that end, Hallowed Be Thy Game is a weekly feature here on MetalSucks where we’ll highlight some of the metal-as-fuck board/video/tabletop role playing games we’re playing or have played in the past.) As a lifelong gamer and metalhead, there have been very

Before they became the international juggernauts, a multi-million dollar business machine, and the largest band on the planet, Metallica were a foursome of scrappy heshers looking to kick some ass with their music. And though they were firmly a West Coast creation, Metallica got its first big break from a small label called Megaforce Records.

It’s been a minute since we last heard a new studio release from Scar Symmetry, given the first part of a trilogy Phase I: Neohumanity was released back in 2014. For fans of the band, the promise of a trilogy meant, well, three new albums planned at once. It was going to be an embarrassment

After months of insane rhetoric from both sides of the aisle, it’s finally election day. With scores of Americans heading to the polls that haven’t already cast their ballots, all that’s left to say now is “well, it’s been a good run America. So long, and thanks for all the fish.” If you’re of a

It’s beginning to look like next year’s European festival circuit is going to be absolutely monstrous, as the folks behind Download Festival 2023 have unveiled the four-day festival’s complete lineup. And while you’re not going to be shocked at all to hear Metallica and Ghost are going to be among the biggest acts on the
