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

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
