As anyone who’s ever read MetalSucks before imagines, we are loving the insanity surrounding founding Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes and his public meltdown surrounding modern death metal. After calling out a video featuring four of death metal’s brightest vocalists as making him “physically ill,” Barnes went on to insult the entire scene, block everyone

Last month, we got our first look at Foo Fighters‘ new horror movie Studio 666, and were surprised to find that it looked pretty cool. Now, the band have dropped a single from that movie, a death-thrash track titled “March of the Insane” by a fictional act named Dream Widow, and…holy shit, it’s pretty rad!

Would you have a threesome with Kelly Osbourne and Sid Wilson? Remember that the former is the daughter of metal royalty Ozzy Osbourne, who might walk in on you naked (in that HE’LL be naked). The other is the gasmask-wearing DJ from Slipknot famous for breaking both of his feet because he goddamn felt like

Of course Mike Portnoy thinks the ’80s were better for metal than the ’90s. The Dream Theater drummer plays metal with a capital ‘M,’ heavy with technical flourishes and leap-of-faith choruses. That said, Mike recently did a Cameo video in which he answered the question of which was a better metal decade, the ’80s or

Back in December, we reported on Cave In debuting a new song titled “Blinded” at Saint Vitus. Now, a complete video of the band’s December 5th show at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has been posted online, including a performance of “Blinded.” You can check it out below. The video was shot by metal videographer

Back in July, the rock and metal community was crushed to learn that Joey Jordison, founding drummer of Slipknot and performer in Murderdolls and Sinsaenum, had died at the age of 46. Now, a previously-unpublished interview with Joey from 2018 has been released, and it’s both informative and very heartbreaking given what’s followed. The video

If there’s one metalhead duo more iconic than Axl Rosenberg and Vince Neilstein, it’s probably Wayne and Garth from Wayne’s World (also Beavis and Butt-Head). But while the couch-bound pals from SNL and Penelope Spheeris’ 1992 movie seemed all good onscreen, things behind the scenes weren’t quite as excellent, with comedians Mike Myers and Dana

Hey, did you know that guitarist K. K. Downing is very mad at Judas Priest? True story! In fact, K. K. really hasn’t missed an opportunity to tell the world how pissed off he is at his former band. Now, in a new interview, Downing has given a long, detailed statement about why he’s upset

If you want a raging metal song written about a specific and awesome piece of military history, you go to Sabaton. The Swedish war buffs and tour-mongers write songs that are equal parts accurate history lesson and gripping cinematic masterpiece. Now, the band have dropped a new single, and lo and behold, it’s got a

Live music is definitely on rocky ground post-COVID. It often feels like two out of three tours are getting postponed before they even launch, with the third walking on eggshells and ready to be scuttled at a moment’s notice. But Def Leppard drummer Rick Allen thinks there’s no reason why this summer’s twice-rescheduled Stadium Tour

As the old saying goes, it’s not a party until someone breaks out a dildo. Any bro worth his sauce knows that a rager isn’t complete until you got some liquored-up compadre running through a crowded room, whipping a big black rubber wang over his head like he was Pervert Genghis Khan. Problem is, your

The word that comes to mind witnessing Once Human‘s ascent is “improbable.” The band started off as a groove-metal outlet for Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader, and initially felt like it would be that and that alone. But since then, not only have Once Human succeeded, but they’ve also thrived. With their new album Scar

It was just last month that Sevendust announced their tour to honor the 20th anniversary of their album Animosity. But now, the band have already announced a second leg of the tour, which is a pretty ballsy move when you think about it. Hopefully that means that presales for the first leg went well. Openers

Damn, son, this spring is looking insane for death metal fans. Only yesterday, we announced that southern decay-mongers Obituary are hitting the road this spring. Now, only a few weeks after their tour ends, Maryland impalement enthusiasts Dying Fetus are hitting the road with one doozie of a line-up. Rolling with Dying Fetus will be

Right now, there’s a bitter feud going on between Pearl Jam and Mötley Crüe, and by ‘bitter feud’ we mean ‘aged rockers throwing haughty softball-pitch jabs at each other.’ But now, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder might have gone too far — he insulted Tommy Lee’s drum kit. What the FUCK, dude. So if you

Just this weekend, we reported that late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton was getting his own action figure, to be released this Thursday, February 10th, on what would’ve been his 60th birthday. Now, it looks like there’s going to be an entire virtual event that will celebrate Cliff’s awesome life, to be hosted that day as

Ghost and Volbeat are making up for lost time with an extensive North American tour that kicked off last month and will run through the beginning of March. Now, you could just go to your local show of choice, assuming there’s one near you, or… … you could win a trip to Las Vegas to see the band

There are two wolves inside of popular music that are embroiled in a never-ending battle. One wolf feeds on cultural importance, societal relevance, and how much a band or song means something to the world. The other thrives on fun, good times, and how much a band or song makes you shake your ass and

W. Axl Rose turns sixty today. There was a time (pardon the pun) that nobody thought any original member of Guns N’ Roses would survive to see thirty, but here we are — the lead singer of the self-proclaimed “Most Dangerous Band in the World” is just five years away from scoring senior citizen discounts

Earlier this week, we reported on late Exodus frontman Paul Baloff getting his own ReAction Figure from toy company Super7. Now, it looks like Super7 has decided to create a figure of heavy metal’s ultimate fallen hero: Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. In case you just stumbled into MetalSucks like you came to Santa Fe to
