Over the last few weeks (and really for a long while now), we’ve seen multiple instances where Sebastian Bach has openly floated the idea of coming back to the band he was kicked out of nearly 30 years ago, Skid Row. We’ve gone from “I can definitely see” a reunion happen to outwardly reacting negatively

In less than 24 hours, one of the biggest metal festivals in Europe will kick off when Download Festival XXI opens at Donnington Park in Leicestershire, England. And while that countdown clock is seen by many as a timer pointed at a fun weekend with good music, for hardcore band Dying Wish, it’s a ticking

Just yesterday we reported on a recent interview that Kerry King guitarist and ex-Vio-lence and ex-Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel had with San Francisco radio station 107.7 The Bone (as transcribed by Blabbermouth) in which he explained why he left Machine Head back in 2018. Well, it turns out that the same interview also shed some

It’s the end of the day, the sun’s going down, and you know what that means. If you’ve got a partner, it’s time to get freakyyyyy. You know, do the horizontal cha-cha. Make whoopee. Get it on. You know — fuck. But you can’t just jump into the activity, can you? You gotta set the

No stranger to the late night television scene, Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier will return behind the kit for the 8G Band on Late Night with Seth Meyers next week. According to showrunners, he’ll be on the show from June 17 to 20, so if you’re a fan of Seth Meyers, Gojira, or Frenchmen with a penchant

In the last 24 hours, a number of bands have pulled out of this weekend’s Download Festival at Donnington Park in Leicestershire, England over the genocide in Gaza and a sponsor’s ties to Israel. This morning, we knew Pest Control, Scowl, Speed, and Zulu had all axed their upcoming performances, but in the last couple hours metalcore

Listen, you can argue about vaccines this and mandates that, but the one thing that’s for certain is a disease ravaged the planet a few years ago that killed millions. That’s undeniable. We have footage of people getting buried in mass graves here in America. Chances are you personally either got sick, knew someone who

Could the Black Sabbath “final tour but not really a final tour” cycle be coming to the band’s McDonald’s parody, Mac Sabbath? Sure sounds like it, as they announced earlier today that they’ll be heading out on a run of dates to celebrate their 10 year anniversary. Set to kick off on August 14 in

Orange Goblin’s Ben Ward is joining the MetalSucks Podcast this week! Their first new studio album in six years Science, Not Fiction is dropping on July 19 and we’re here to discuss that and more! We talk about Ward’s one and only chance meeting with the late Ronnie James Dio, which is a story in

There is no cure for cancer, no matter what anyone tells you. Despite what fake news articles on social media tell you, there’s no secret cure to cancer that is being suppressed by Big Pharma because they can’t make money off of it. And, despite what hippies may tell you, a vegan raw food diet

Happy Pride Month, everyone. To all my LGBTQ+ friends out there in the metalverse, please know that around these parts, you’re welcome and encouraged to participate in this thing. I’ll say it loud as fuck for the people in the back — metal’s for everyone. Speaking of metal, we updated our weekly playlist with nearly

The world would be a much better place if more people could admit they were wrong. Instead, most countries’ political systems are full of stubborn people doubling down on their bad ideas long after it becomes clear that they were bad ideas. Being a successful artist, though, often means having to abandon ideas that you

YouTube’s community guidelines on what’s acceptable or not can sometimes be archaic and confusing, but in the case of Squid Pisser and their video for “Smog of Self Abuse,” I think I kinda get why it was age restricted. At just under two minutes of non-stop insanity that features choreographed public antics, weird teeth stuff,

Too many people die to drug overdoses. That’s a fact. Anyone can help increase an overdosing individual’s chances for survival if they have access to naloxone and know how to use it. That’s another fact. So to help combat the epidemic of drug overdoses around the world, non-profit organization End Overdose has teamed up with

Are you a big Slayer fan? Can you not go a minute without letting everyone within your line of sight and earshot know how much of a Slayer fan you really are? Do you enjoy “enhancing” family friendly public outings with said love of Slayer? Then get your wallet ready, because this ridiculously licensed merch

Have you ever watched a video of some super-talented kid and openly wondered “what the hell was I doing when I was nine years old?!” Because that’s exactly what crossed my mind when I watched Japanese drumming virtuoso named Kota absolutely slaying it on stage with the dudes in Gama Bomb. The whole thing happened

An unfortunate bit of news came out of the Nebula camp today, as their bassist Ranch Sironi passed away. The news comes as the band was getting ready to head out on a European tour this week. Sironi initially began his time with Nebula back in 2019 playing bass for their live shows. He didn’t

I know we talk a lot about all of the festivals happening in the U.S. and Europe, but our friends in the northern part of North America also have their own shit going on that’s worth checking out. One such thing is the annual Armstrong MetalFest, set to take place on July 12 and July

Well, just as they said they would yesterday, the folks behind the revitalized Mayhem Festival have announced the full list of bands set to play this year’s show. In a social media post, the poster was revealed, showing that the show will take place on Saturday, October 12 at the Glen Helen Amphitheater in San

Whether you like it or not, YouTuber turned musician Poppy has been planting herself into the heavy music space for a while now. Having most recently collaborated with Bad Omens and Knocked Loose this year, she’s now returned with some music of her own in the form of a new single titled “New Way Out.”
