Note: A lot of people are responding that this is an audio recording generated from the image of a black hole taken by NASA, and therefore our post is inaccurate. Fortunately, we’re a metal site, not a science journal. We specialize in creepy sounds, and wherever this came from, it’s creepy. That said, please do

For those of you who don’t know, Lordi are basically a Finnish hair-metal version of GWAR who won the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. But now, guitarist Jussi “Amen” Sydänmaa, who’s been in the band since 1996, has decided to leave the rubber-masked fold. Sydänmaa announced his departure from the band via social media, writing: “THIS

Given that they’ve booked dates into 2023 already, one could argue that German industrialists Rammstein aren’t fucking around when it comes to touring for this year’s Zeit. Except maybe they’re fucking around a little, as they’ve now announced that the openers for their 2022 tour dates will be Duo Abélard and Duo Jatekok, two pianist

Right now, Suicide Silence are gearing up for a co-headlining tour with Carnifex. However, it also looks like they’re changing up their ranks as well, as they’ve officially parted ways with drummer Alex Lopez. The band made the following announcement via their social media: “Suicide Silence & our long-time drummer, Alex Lopez, have mutually agreed to part

Right now, Jackass star Steve-O is a sober and at least semi-coherent individual who has a podcast called ‘Steve-O’s Wild Ride.’ But once upon a time, Steve-O was a chemically-altered wild card, and got up to all manner of bad shit with all kinds of famous people. Now, in a new interview, he reveals which

Next month sees pop-metal favorites Def Leppard releasing their new album, Diamond Star Halos. Last month, the band dropped the first single from that album, “Kick;” now, they’ve released another, titled “Take What You Want,” which you can check out below. Truth be told, I’m not a big Def Leppard fan, but this ain’t bad.

I’ve never worn a bulletproof vest, because I’ve never needed to, because I’m a lucky son of a bitch and have a really nice life that will likely not become a war zone any time soon. People in the Ukraine, on the other hand, have to worry about catching bullets every day right now, not

One of the many accusers who came forward against shock rocker Marilyn Manson was Game of Thrones star Esmé Bianco, who accused the musician of physical and psychological abuse, then went on to sue him and his assistant for sexual assault and sex trafficking in a lawsuit that a judge has allowed to proceed. Now,

To put it delicately, MetalSucks is dicks out for Darkane. We fucking love these dudes for making classic Swedish melodeath that’s always a little more complicated, venomous, and agonized than that of their peers. That’s why Darkane aren’t as massive as their counterparts in, say, In Flames or Dark Tranquility — shit just goes too

For a band who write enthralling long-form doom metal, Seattle’s Bell Witch definitely get out there. The band are currently on a string of West Coast tour dates supporting their 2020 release Stygian Bough Volume 1. However, it now appears that due to a COVID diagnosis within their camp, Bell Witch will be postponing the

When rapper-turned-pop-punker Machine Gun Kelly‘s new album Mainstream Sellout went #1, many of us were worried that this would mean that Kelly’s listless, cliche-drenched version of punk would be around forever. But thankfully, that’s not the case, as Kelly has now made it clear that he intends to return to rap music on his next

When it comes to Metallica‘s infamous 1991 self-titled ‘Black Album,’ we’re always especially interested to hear the opinion of then-bassist Jason Newsted. That’s because Newsted had the unique perspective of coming into the band during their trauma over former bassist Cliff Burton’s death, and because he’s since come across as a really stand-up guy whose

In case you forgot, brass-heavy rock band Brass Against were the subject of significant controversy last year when vocalist Sophia Urista urinated on a willing fans’ face midway through a festival performance. The band later apologized, as did Urista, but not before they were banned from all NASCAR venue and had a police report filed

When people lament the death of rock music, or how rock music is in decline, or that it needs saving, they usually fall into one of two categories. The first is old-timers who have no concept of an underground and are making blanket statements about what they’ve been served by mainstream media outlets. The other

When guitarist Kirk Hammett first announced his solo EP Portals — which dropped today — everyone’s immediate thought was that times have definitely changed for Metallica, who used to be adamantly against side projects. Now, Kirk has explained how the band have grown in terms of outside art, and what it was like getting his

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 time around, Fripp and Toyah are covering “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by the Who. It’s everything you want to be. Check out one of the couple’s other covers

MetalSucks Presents Beer Metal – Updated Saturday, April 23, 2022 Hope your morning has been all Pepto and pancakes, and that last night’s drinking didn’t scrape out your liver too much. Thankfully, there’s Saturday, so you’ll get to quiet your screaming head with some hair of the dog shortly – and then, you’ll be able

Earlier this week, we posted that  Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe had tested positive for COVID, and would have to miss the band’s Grand Rapids stop with Megadeth, Trivium, and In Flames. Mark Hunter of Ohio metalcore forefathers Chimaira took the stage in his stead, which was pretty fucking cool. Then, when the band were forced to cancel their Fort Wayne, Indiana, show entirely,

The weather and planet are not the only things heating up this week! We’ve got some new jams from a trio of favorite metal bands to check out. Dorothy Gifts From The Holy Ghost (Roc Nation) This week, Dorothy blazes in with Gifts From The Holy Ghost, their third studio album, which blends straight forward

Last month, UK sludge crew Conjurer revealed details for their new album Pathos, along with the first single from the record, “It Dwells.” Both song and its video were singularly unpleasant, illustrating how Conjurer plan on maintaining the brand they developed with 2018’s stupendous Mire. Now, the band have released another single, this one called
