Yesterday, the metal world had its foundation shaken upon learning that Trevor Strnad, vocalist of Michigan death metal band The Black Dahlia Murder, had died at the age of 41. Now, the band’s guitarist Brandon Ellis and drummer Alan Cassidy have posted tributes to Trevor on social media. Ellis posted the following to his Instagram: “I can not even

Yesterday, the metal community was rocked to its core to learn that Trevor Strnad, vocalist of Michigan death metallers The Black Dahlia Murder and good-natured champion of all things metal, had died. He was only 41 years old. Now, a petition has been launched to make sure that Trevor is included in the ‘In Memoriam’ reel of this

According to their Instagram, Trevor Strnad, frontman of The Black Dahlia Murder, has died. He was 41 years old. The band posted the following message over a blacked-out screen: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Trevor Scott Strnad. Beloved son, brother, and Shepard of good times, he was loved by

If there’s one art form I know the least about, it’s video games. The most I was allowed to have was a Game Boy growing up, so unless you wanna talk to me about the stand-up X-Men arcade game or what the genie gives you at the end of Wario Land, I’ve got nothing for

Last month, a storm of epic metal across all genres descended onto New York City. Swedish melodeath legends Arch Enemy and Polish satanic dandies Behemoth brought their co-headlining tour to Terminal 5, with grindcore ground-standers Napalm Death and goth-metal upstarts Unto Others joining the team. The entire sonic cataclysm was captured in full color by

Earlier today, we wrote that death metal supergroup Bloodbath would be postponing their U.S. tour and dropping off of the line-up at Maryland Deathfest due to visa issues. Now, it looks like Swedish melodic death metallers Dismember will be joining them in bailing on MDF — though for them, it’s due to American vaccine requirements.

This week, Evergrey guitarist/vocalist Tom Englund is our guest! We discuss the huge number of songs he wrote and recorded during the pandemic, working on video game soundtracks (including the new Evil Dead game), how a musical director dictates their vision when creating music for any game, and making music on a day job schedule every week.

A few days ago, it was announced that an unauthorized play about hair metallers Mötley Crüe titled The Crüe: Underneath the Dirt Lies the Truth, from actor/director David Lucarelli would premiere at the Hollywood Fringe Festival on June 4th. Now, the band’s own Nikki Sixx has taken to social media and made it very clear that

At this point, it’s as though the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has decided that it just wants to piss off the metal community (which, given who we are, we fully understand and support). First, the Hall repeatedly snubs rock and metal bands year after year; then, when Dolly Parton drops off the ballot,

Left-wing rap-rockers Rage Against The Machine have released a statement relating to the recently-leaked documents which revealed that the Supreme Court intends to overturn influential pro-choice court decision Roe v. Wade. Here’s Rage’s statement: “Rage Against The Machine stands in support of reproductive justice and will continue to fight against any attempts to restrict or

Earlier this week, it was announced that Judas Priest would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…kinda? Though the band aren’t among the performers being inducted, they are receiving the ‘Musical Excellence Award,’ which is an induction of sorts, we guess. The band are also probably going to perform at the ceremony,

MetalSucks Presents Beer Metal – Updated May 7th, 2022 I gotta be careful tonight, man. Tomorrow’s Mother’s Day, and now that I’m a dad, I can’t fuck around and disappoint both my wife AND my mom. That said, y’all should go nuts to these killer drinking tracks… Tankard, “Kings of Metal” – Bunch of you

Like so many of their deathcore brethren, Suicide Silence definitely moved in a more commercial direction over their career, though they never fully bought into that deal-with-it-I’m-all-about-that-life attitude the way some others did. However, a couple of days ago the band released a new standalone single this week named “Thinking In Tongues,” and it’s definitely

Yesterday, we wrote about how hard rocker Joan Jett called out Ted Nugent over his recent criticism of her by reminding us all that he shat his pants to escape the draft. Now, Nugent is doing what conservative shitheads and heartless cretins like him do in these scenarios: playing the victim! For those of you

It’s been a hot second since we heard from pop-punk-core act A Day To Remember. Now, the band have announced a long list of North American tour dates with all sorts of openers leading up to their appearance at When We Were Young. As reported by The PRP, among the bands playing with A Day

When we heard that shock rocker Rob Zombie‘s remake of classic horror-comedy TV series The Munsters was going to be rated PG, we thought it would at least be a tight, contained picture. But no — according to a new interview with original Munsters cast member Butch Patrick, the movie is going to be nearly

We’re big fans of bands calling it. There’s nothing sadder than watching a musician whose heart isn’t in the game anymore forcing themselves to go out and do something half-assed. So that’s why we have to give props to Glenn Danzig, who recently admitted that his upcoming tour is probably his last. Why? Because he

If you haven’t checked out CONTRACULT collective yet, you gotta get on that, man. While so many hard rock and metal bands have revived ’90s staples like alternative, hard rock, and nu-metal, this LA three-piece shocked the grimy, hostile sounds of classic industrial metal back to life with their awesome 2020 release A Cult of

Often, death metal supergroups sound like rehashes of the albums that the band members grew up listening to — but maybe it’s just that Shed The Skin listened to all of the best albums. The four-piece, whose ranks include members of Incantation, Ringworm, Soulless, and Crucified Mortals (to name only a few), perform breakneck death

Immodest Mouse is out with the ‘Rona today, meaning I, your illustrious Emperor, am taking over. Forecast calls for a big helping of SUCK… Halestorm Back From The Dead (Atlantic) Thank God Halestorm have decided to branch out into depressive black metal on this record. Ha! Kidding. This is a Halestorm record, so it’s a
