Going to a concert is one thing, but you want to be one of the fans who gets to interact with the band. You want an autograph, you want to shake hands, you want a few minutes to gawk at them like they’re animals in the zoo. As much as you want that, it can

Former Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell has never appeared on the front cover of one of his own albums, but apparently he has made a surprise guest appearance on a Nirvana CD single cover in 1990 while “super high.” You can see him in the bottom left of the cover, although it’s unclear which

Former Slayer guitarist, newly solo artist, and all-around grumpy dude Kerry King has made a number of guest appearances on other people’s albums over the years. Usually they were guest spots that made perfect sense like on Pantera’s track “Goddamn Electric” in 2000 and Hatebreed’s “Final Prayer” in 2001. But the two strangest appearances might

We’ve been saying it for a long time now, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise, but nu metal’s going through a resurgence. New bands are picking up a mantle that many for years thought was a dead relic of the past, while old mainstays reclaim the spotlight at festivals like Sick New World. One

Surprise, mofos! If you hadn’t looked at our Shit That Comes Out Today post earlier this morning, you may not already know that Unearth dropped an unexpected EP titled Bask In The Blood Of Our Enemies. Featuring two previously unreleased tracks and two live cuts from a show they did in Texas last year, this

Classic thrash metal band Forbidden is down a guitarist these days, as they recently announced that Steve Smyth was leaving the band. Having been with the outfit from 2009 to 2012 and then again from 2023 until just this past Monday, Smyth may not have been around for much of the band’s roughly 20 or

We’re back again with another entry in our long-running YouTube cover reactions series, only this time we’ve got Bleeding Through’s Brandan Schieppati and John Arnold on deck. Having been around for 25 years, there’s been a lot of time for fans to pick up the guitar, bass, drumsticks, tambourine… whatever they’re good at… to pay

It’s so fucking great that we’re living in a time where new music from the Jesus Lizard is right around the corner. After more than two decades away, the band is returning with a new studio album RACK and we’ve already had the first single “Hide & Seek” for a month now. Earlier today, the

Willfully trapping yourself on a floating city with a ridiculous amount of fellow metalheads either sounds like a dream vacation or a private, personal hell depending on who you ask, but this year’s 70000TONS OF METAL cruise looks like it might be worth the trouble. Set to sail from Miami, Florida to Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Though they’ve got an European tour kicking off this Thursday, Behemoth were forced to make a sudden lineup change, as their drummer Inferno was forced to stay home due to health concerns. With just days before the band hits the road, they’ve announced that ex-Job for a Cowboy and current Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats

After over 35 years, eight records, and a number of extensive tours, founding member of experimental noise rock band Oxbow Eugene S. Robinson announced his departure from his own project on Sunday. This rather shocking turn of events explains the sudden cancellation of the last five shows of the band’s European tour in June. Robinson

Later this summer, Ministry will be touring with shock rockers Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie, as well as Filter, for the latest leg of the ‘Freaks on Parade’ Tour. Yet if you plan on catching that show, you very likely won’t see Roy Mayorga behind the kit during Ministry’s set, as he announced earlier today that he was

Not content to just perform on the Coal Chamber tour set for later this summer, Wednesday 13 and Fear Factory announced a handful of additional dates that they’ll play with Black Satellite. The additional dates will take place in between dates with Coal Chamber, so if you’re a fan of Wednesday 13 and Fear Factory,

Hardcore music festival Flyover Fest, celebrating their second year under their current moniker (it used to be known as Act Like You Know Fest, which was admittedly a bit more of an awkward name), announced the lineup for the 2024 edition of their festival and boy is it one hell of a lineup. Some of

Suicidal Tendencies have been talking for a little while about possibly releasing new music with the band’s current lineup which includes the band’s frontman Mike Muir, Dean Pleasants on guitar, Dillenger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman on second guitar, Robert Trujillo’s son Tye Trujillo, and recent outcast from the Slipknot camp Jay Weinberg. Winman, Trujillo,

“We need more filth!” is a sentence uttered frequently by the producers of House of Dragon and by anyone awaiting the follow-up to Cradle of Filth’s 2021 album Existence is Futile. Vocalist Dani Filth has been teasing a new Cradle of Filth album for a while now, saying back in March that we could see

Queens of the Stone Age are about to do something that no other band has done before: play on the moon! Just kidding, but playing on the moon might be a little more likely than what’s actually happening: they’re going to become the very first band to play the Paris Catacombs. In a press conference

It’s no secret, but pretty much everyone here at MetalSucks really digs Baroness. For years now, they’ve just been putting out killer tunes that we can’t stop coming back to time and time again. And after hanging out with John Baizley and Gina Gleason in Philly last year, we have an even better appreciation for

Some new music could soon be coming down the pipe from the bayous of Louisiana, as the sludge/doom metal titans Eyehategod have apparently been working on their follow up to 2021’s A History Of Nomadic Behavior. This bit of exciting news comes from an interview with frontman Mike IX Williams in Australia’s Heavy. During the chat

There are few things more genuinely terrifying than the vastness of space. It is arguably the single most hostile environment imaginable, incomprehensibly massive and constantly expanding (because apparently literal infinity just isn’t big enough), and that’s before you even get into the possibilities of what may or may not be out there lurking in the
