Josh Homme and the guys in Queens of the Stone Age are no strangers to the dark. Their music has always had a tinge of the macabre, the melancholy, the strange, that can be traced back all the way to their debut release back in 1998. Yet their most recent releases, …Like Clockwork and Villains

I guess all it takes to get your name added to some cool new music is to write an unforgettably heavy video game soundtrack. At least that’s what happened to Mick Gordon, who wrote the heavy metal soundtrack to 2016’s Doom and 2020’s Doom: Eternal video games and is now being featured in 3TEETH tracks,

There was a time back in the early 80s when Metallica weren’t a household name like they are now. In fact, there was a time they were a small band, covering new wave of British heavy metal tunes and writing/playing their own music. Eventually, they ended up putting out a demo called No Life Til’

Proggy sludge metal titans Baroness have been away for a while. After the release of the superlative 2019 release Gold & Grey and the subsequent tours, the four-piece has largely remained silent. That is, until today. Earlier this afternoon, the band took to Twitter and posted an odd, albeit interesting message on their social media

Death metal titans Obituary and Immolation proved why they’re two of the most unstoppable forces in death metal over the last four decades with a lengthy United States tour. It goes without saying that we needed to document this meeting of the minds, so photographer Alison Webster captured all the action for MetalSucks. Obituary Immolation

Glam (or glam-adjacent, as singer Michael Monroe might prefer) rockers Hanoi Rocks have often been surrounded by controversy and drama, especially following the death of drummer Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley, who was killed in a 1984 drunk driving accident with Vince Neil behind the wheel. In a new interview with Ultimate Guitar, Monroe discussed the band’s

Nita Strauss, who got famous playing guitar for Alice Cooper, just released a video of her collaboration with Anrdes Fridén of In Flames. The track is called “The Golden Trail,” and it appears on her upcoming sophomore solo album The Call Of The Void, out July 7 via Sumerian Records. [embedded content] This is the

Cult of Luna just released a live film called Full Moon and announced a tour of Europe and the U.K. The film features footage from their past European tour in March, both on stage and behind the scenes. Mathieu Ezan directed the movie, and it can be streamed for free. The band will also be

It’s a long ass weekend and as such, it’s the perfect time to kick back, crack open a cold one, and take it easy. Here in the U.S., we’re celebrating Memorial Day, when we remember the brave men, women, and non-binary individuals that served in the armed forces. Specifically, the holiday is to honor those

It’s always a reason to celebrate when there’s new music from Bongzilla, and this particular song is about everyone’s favorite subtle cannabis consumption method “C.A.R.T.S.” Just because this song is an ode to a less heady style of smoking doesn’t mean it doesn’t pack the same punch as a giant bong hit. The track is

Funeral doom luminary Mizmor—the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist A.L.N.—has confirmed that new abum Prosaic will see release on July 21 via Profound Lore. Mizmor will also embark on a full United States tour this summer. Support will come from doomsayers Usnea and blackgazers Unreqvited. “The idea behind the album was to make an intentionally less conceptual,

Legendary producer Bob Rock—the guy from Some Kind of Monster, among a lot of more notable achievements—recently appeared on the Talk is Jericho podcast and somehow made the recent Mötley Crüe drama more absurd. While praising Nikki Sixx‘s willingness to improve as a bassist—something he may have given up on—he revealed that Sixx once told

Last night, at the final stop of The Geek Show tour with Spotlights, the Melvins, and Mr. Bungle, fans got a special treat as Buzz Osbourne, Trey Spruance, Mike Patton, Trevor Dunn, Dave Lombardo, and Scott Ian stared the stage in Oakland, California for a special treat. The final song of the show ended up

If there’s one thing Nickelback and their frontman Chad Kroeger can be known for, it’s their ability to write songs that absolutely blow up in the mainstream. And while we all laugh at their music and outwardly wonder how people could like their music, you can’t deny their work ethic. So it only makes sense

Fir the first time in five years, Horrendous have come out with a brand new song to assault your senses for a new album coming out this August. Titled “Ontological Mysterium,” it’s a ripper of a track that fuses modern death metal with old school sensibilities to create something truly devastating. Speaking on the upcoming

Atlanta, Georgia-based blackened melodic death metal band Cloak are dropping their third full-length studio album Black Flame Eternal this Friday through Season Of Mist, and it’s more than worth a listen for fans of the genre. The band have stated that Black Flame Eternal is meant to be a reflection of life, death, and the world in

A couple of years ago, we learned that ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson was co-producing a documentary on the late drummer Nick Menza. Menza, who passed away in 2016 of heart disease while on stage with his band, Ohm, had played in Megadeth from 1989 to 1998. It’s now 2023 and we’ve learned that Ellefson’s now

It may not seem like it while they’re killing it on stage, but our favorite artists aren’t larger than life behemoths that exist solely to help us degrade our necks over time with the constant headbanging. It turns out, they’re normal people too. And one of the coolest things we get to do here at

Things have been rough for Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and his loved ones as of late, and the problem has gotten to be so much that his brothers in Exodus have announced they’re canceling their upcoming European tour. Since the beginning of the month, Holt has been dealing with a situation dealing with his brother

Like it or not, more bands are using artificial intelligence to generate new content, including music videos. And while that may be a little problematic from a “artists should be paid,” “DEY TOOK ARE JERBS” standpoint, it’s great for new stuff from a defunct band. Earlier today, Type O Negative dropped a music video for
