Seven Spires axeman Jack Kosto is joining the show this week to discuss the band’s newly released album A Fortress Called Home. We begin the discussions with Jack on his role on the mixing, mastering, and producing of the album, as well as how he gained the trust of the band to take on those responsibilities.

Hating Limp Bizkit has long been a cold take, so calling the band’s late-career resurgence unexpected is an understatement. Sure, plenty of nu metal bands have been getting their flowers from the culture recently, but Limp Bizkit? Seeing the nu metal whipping boys headlining festivals in modern times feels like a glitch in the matrix.

Hardcore band Candy are hot off the release of a prime contender for Album of the Year with their new record It’s Inside You. Now it’s going to be inside your state, as Candy just announced a North American headlining tour on Instagram. This tour is going to melt more faces than the ending to

You know those people who constantly bitch and moan that there seems to be no innovation or originality in metal anymore? Yeah, those people don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. We’re only halfway through 2024 and there’s already been a conga line of remarkable new releases from bands both new and old, to

The dudes in Dream Theater may be getting closer and closer to wrapping up work on their so far unnamed 16th studio effort, but that’s not the only new music coming out of that camp. Earlier today, keyboardist Jordan Rudess announced that his new solo album Permission To Fly will be released this coming September.

The third new single off of Dark Tranquillity‘s forthcoming album Endtime Signals was released earlier today and you can check it out down below. Titled “Not Nothing”, the track is apparently about “the insignificance of humanity in the big scheme of things,” which is just super fun to think about. Apparently, the nihilistic bent on

After last night’s worldwide premiere of Ghost‘s movie Rite Here Rite Not, fans everywhere are getting a heroic dose of the band’s latest lore. Yes, it’s a 2.5 hour long movie about a silly (yet incredibly catchy and important) metal band, but it’s also a major event for fans. And while we can’t talk about

If the skies over South Carolina have been a little darker as of late, it’s probably because Demiser’s got a slate of new music coming pretty soon. Earlier today, the band announced that their sophomore album Slave To The Scythe will be released on August 23 via Black Light Media. Boasting a nine-song track list,

Winterfylleth return with their follow-up to 2020’s The Reckoning Dawn. The new album, to be entitled The Imperious Horizon is due out on September 13, and yes that’s a Friday, so it comes out on a lucky Friday the 13th. Somehow that just seems even more metal. The band released the first single called “Dishonor

Sludge metal badasses Black Tusk are heading back to the stage this summer and they’re bringing some friends along for the ride for ‘The Way Forward 2024 Tour’. Set to kick off on August 23 and coming to an end on September 21, the tour will feature stops all over t he U.S., as well

We’re a few months out from the second iteration of Lamb of God‘s Headbanger’s Boat, but unfortunately a pretty change to the lineup of bands slated to perform over the five-day cruise was recently announced. According to an announcement made via Lamb of God’s social media, it seems some unresolvable “scheduling conflicts” have forced At

This year’s Milwaukee Metal Fest was an absolute banger by all accounts. After all, we’d know because we were there — well, I wasn’t there because I’m chained to this computer, but my colleagues were — and it was a blast. So you can imagine the level of excitement that popped off when the dates

In the latest bout of ‘how the fuck did we miss this’, the Italian symphonic death metal outfit Fleshgod Apocalypse not only announced a new album titled Opera this past Friday, but they released a new single as well. The new tune, titled “Bloodclock,” and its accompanying video can be found below. Due out on

Awwww yeah. Put down your post-boning cigarettes, fix your hair, and get ready to find out which bands you — the MetalSucks reader like to listen to while you get down and dirty. This, of course, was the natural result of a story we ran last week that suggested metalheads liked to fuck to Slipknot,

Italian goth metal outfit Lacuna Coil announced a lineup change via social media this morning, in which they said they were parting ways with guitarist Diego Cavallotti. He had been with the band since 2016 as a fill-in replacement after Marco “Maus” Biazzi left the band. According to the band’s statement, the decision stemmed largely

Rock musician, crackpot, and prime comedy fodder Ted Nugent said something stupid again. Color me shocked. In a recent interview with The Chuck Shute Podcast, Nugent talked about the recent death of his beloved dog, Happy, and somehow managed to tie that into an argument in favor of hunting rights. Yeah, I don’t understand it

If there’s one thing that’s even more iconic about Kiss than their music, it’s their signature look, particularly the Kiss makeup. Everyone, even people who don’t like Kiss, know about Kiss’ iconic makeup and over-the-top costumes. And the wild face paint has been imitated from a number of big-name acts from Marilyn Manson to the

Is Duff McKagan, bassist for Guns N’ Roses, the namesake for Homer Simpson’s favorite brand of beer? Well, it depends on who you ask: McKagan or the writers. McKagan had been telling the story for years that the writers of The Simpsons asked his permission to name a beer after him, despite multiple Simpsons writers

More than 54 years ago, one of the most influential metal albums of all time was unleashed upon the world. A small band out of Birmingham called Black Sabbath released their self-titled debut album, featuring the insanely talented young men Ozzy Osbourne, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, and Tony Iommi. It was a combination made in

Earlier this week, we reported on a survey that suggested metalheads liked boning to Slipknot, System of a Down, and Deftones. That was all the data we had — well, other than the fact that we apparently last about 30.8 minutes on average in the sack, but that’s neither here nor there. But when you
