Real talk? We have no beef with Five Finger Death Punch, we just think that their music is wack and their lead singer has previously exhibited all the restraint and steadiness of James McAvoy in Split. But now, FFDP’s octopus-headed bassist Chris Kael (gotta give props to our own Vinnie Bellissimo for that description) has

Since its emergence in the early ’80s, thrash has always been metal’s most reliable genre. Trends come and go, bands rise and fall, but at the end of the day what we all really want is a fast riff and lyrics about minigun demons that’ll make us bang our heads like psychopaths. In fact, we’d

Popular metal and hardcore blog Lambgoat is now under new ownership, according to a post from the site’s founder, Alex Arnold, last night. He clarified that the site will continue on under the care of Dave, also known as Lurk. You can read his full statement below, but Arnold appears to be leaving Lambgoat on

Last week, video emerged of Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil using a teleprompter for some of the band’s big hits like “Looks That Kill” and “Home Sweet Home” during their recent Stadium Tour. While some felt bummed out by this, many others, including several prominent figures in the rock and metal world, came out in

It’s been 11 years since politically-charged rap-rockers Rage Against The Machine have played a live show. But last night saw the band play the first gig of their current tour, video of which you can see below. As you can see from the fan-shot footage included here (via Blabbermouth), the band are in solid form.

King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and his wife, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox, are back with the latest entry in their ongoing “Sunday Lunch” series of cover videos. This Sunday, Fripp and Toyah are covering Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” — a song they’ve in fact already covered. However, this time around, Toyah’s outfit is considerably more sheer,

Lately, Linton Rubino, former Nameless Ghoul bassist for occult rock act Ghost, has been vocal about his frustrating time in the band. Now, in a new interview, Linton takes a moment to laud his work on the band’s 2016 album Meliora — and crap on their 2022 record IMPERA. Speaking to Clint Switzer on On

MetalSucks Presents Beer Metal – Updated July 9th, 2022 Oh man, it’s been a hot second since we did a fan-driven beer metal update. Thankfully, you dirtbags delivered, and we have a great line-up of boozin’ music for you today Line up, crack ’em open… Leather Lung, “Road Soda” – We fucking LOVE this band.

You motherfuckers know Cognitive from New Jersey? Killer band. Ultra-heavy live band who play crushing tech-death with some powerful moments of atmosphere throughout. Well, guess what, they’re about to head out on tour! Oh, also these bands you might have heard of, Fallujah and Psycroptic? I guess they’re the co-headliners or something. Also, Interloper will

Earlier this week, we got our official first poster for Rob Zombie‘s remake of The Munsters. Now, Zombie himself has revealed that he’s finished shooting the film, and has released a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot to boot. Alongside new photos of Rob and his cast, the shock rocker posted the following message to

Last week, we ran a poll about the new wave of death metal that seems to be sweeping the scene. We listed over 20 bands in an attempt to cast a wide net, and we were excited to see how many different bands got voted on. It’s easy to think that death metal is a

Last month, former Death drummer Kam Lee publicly stated that Death mastermind Chuck Schuldiner ripped off Bay Area band Possessed, officially cementing the latter act as the first death metal band. Lee also went on to say that he was kept from being part of the documentary on Chuck’s life because people didn’t want him

If you’re a fan of cartoons beyond getting high and snickering at them, you know who Genndy Tartakovsky is. The animator’s most renowned works are the Cartoon Network shows Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack, though it’s worth noting that he’s also the director behind the Hotel Transylvania series. But what some might not know is

In case you forgot, beef erupted between Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and rapper-turned-pop-punker and self-proclaimed savior of rock and roll Machine Gun Kelly when Taylor said he didn’t care for MGK on a podcast and Kelly in turn took a moment during a festival gig (with Slipknot performing one stage over) to say he was

In May, Swedish thrash demons Witchery revealed that they have a new album on the way, and dropped the unbelievably rad first single “Popecrusher.” Now, the band have released another new single, titled “Witching Hour,” and damn, does it fucking rule. Now, just a heads up: “Witching Hour” is NOT a cover of the Venom

On Friday, we reported that Metallica‘s thrash classic “Master of Puppets” is featured prominently in the finale of the latest season of Stranger Things. Now, it’s been revealed that the attention that Stranger Things brought to the track has vaulted the song onto Spotify’s ‘Top 50’ playlists, both globally and in the U.S. SPOILERS: In

Music festivals have a tight schedule. Given how often one act has to go on mere minutes after another one’s set ends, it’s not uncommon for a band’s to do soundcheck while another band is playing on a stage some 300 feet away. And you’d think that this far into his career, Megadeth‘s Dave Mustaine

Real talk, America on July 4th is a little like Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day. Sure, both holidays have importantly historical traditions, and should be used to look at both countries’ histories and the ways in which they’re viewed by outsiders. But they’re also both a bit performative, and just as we like to listen

Right now, right-wing crackpot and noted bigot Ted Nugent has found two new focuses for his impotent, poorly-researched rage: Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and pop star Pink. For a second time in a row, the “Cat Scratch Fever” writer has gone after the two musicians, though this time he’s doubled down on his

Earlier this week, blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was rushed to the hospital, soon after which his daughter Alabama posted a picture of him in a hospital bed and asked for fans’ prayers. Now, Travis has revealed that he was suffering from “severe life-threatening pancreatitis” in a statement to his fans and followers. When the story
