We’ve all known for a long time now that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a fucking joke. They don’t care about our piece of the music world and that was made even more apparent this year when Soundgarden and Iron Maiden won the fan vote but organizers decided to say “nope.” Never

After various rumors surrounding a new album, Queens of the Stone Age have officially announced their new record, In Times New Roman…, for a June 16 release via Matador Records. In Times New Roman… is Queens of the Stone Age’s first new album since 2017’s Villains. They’ve also dropped “Emotion Sickness,” the first single from

Of all the places you’d expect to hear a real discussion of mental health issues, a freakin’ Disturbed concert wouldn’t be one that came to mind. Yet that’s what happened during the band’s May 4 appearance at Hog Fest, as vocalist David Draiman took a moment out of the show to open up about his

Notable visual artist Frank Kozik, responsible for album covers like Melvins‘ Houdini, the Offspring‘s Americana and Queens of the Stone Age‘s self-titled record, has died at 61. A statement issued by his wife Sharon reads: “Frank was a man larger than himself, an icon in each genre he worked in. He dramatically changed the industry

Metal and hardcore shows can sometimes get fucking crazy, as people mosh, crowd surf, and otherwise cause a ruckus to show their support of the band on stage. It’s just a fact of life at this point and you’d think security personnel would know that fact and either have policies implemented to stop that sort

Old habits die hard. Usually that phrase refers to things like wanting a cigarette after you’ve quit for a few years or driving to your old apartment even though you moved. In the case of former Megadeth member David Ellefson and forever Megadeth main man Dave Mustaine, it’s bitching about your former bandmates. In a

Somehow, some way, Mötley Crüe vocalist Vince Neil is going to take enough time out from being mediocre (if we’re being generous) behind a mic to be a guest judge on an ongoing music competition TV series, Banded: The Musician Competition. The show, which will air on AXS TV starting Saturday, May 13, features 25

Dez Fafara of Devildriver is our guest this week on The MetalSucks Podcast! In this episode, we celebrate their new album Dealing With Demons Vol. 2, emoji’s making their way in business communication, the income a band would get for plays 20 years ago compared to today, and younger audiences embracing late 90’s bands. We

Pyrexia dropped a lyric video for the song “Purging the Nemesis” from their upcoming rerelease of classic album System of The Animal. The album initially came out in 1997, and this lyric video will give new listeners a taste of the album, in case they aren’t already familiar:​ [embedded content] Band cofounder and guitarist Chris

Rammstein fans, get ready—Vocalist Till Lindemann announced a one-off show right here in the U.S. There’s not too much info out right now about this news, but we do know that his solo project, known simply as Lindemann, will be performing at the Blue Ridge Rock Fest in Alton, VA. The project was originally a

Cartoon/NFT/virtual metal band The Shredderz have been teasing their existence as a multi-dimensional heavy metal entity, and now they’ve officially released a track, the self-titled “Shredderz.” The song features Alex Skolnick of Testament fame. The band’s official statement reads: “The Shredderz have officially been released from Hell. Five musical misfits—Raz, Vincent, Weasel, Donny, Nigel, and

Today’s release of Unhearth’s The Wretched; The Ruinous is the first new studio album from the band since 2018 and to celebrate their return to the fore, they released the single and music video for “Dawn of the Militant.” Speaking on the new track, vocalist Trevor Phillips described “Dawn of the Militant” as “thrash metal

New York’s White Hills first came to my attention on a show with doom purveyors Telekinetic Yeti. Though I’d never heard a recorded song of theirs, their loud-as-fuck performance despite the fact that they were a duo playing inside of a diner instantly made me a fan. They’ll be off to Europe soon, but before

This summer, expand your horizons and get in the kind of spacey, psychedelic groove that a band like Telekinetic Yeti can offer. Through the month of July, the Iowa-based duo will travel through parts of the U.S. and Canada with Stinking Lizaveta joining them for all 19 dates. Additionally, certain dates will either have Somnuri

Sometimes, shit just doesn’t go right before you even set foot in the venue. That’s apparently what happened to ex-Slayer (and current drummer of a whole mess of other projects) drummer Dave Lombardo during his worst gig ever. Even though he’s spent the last few decades kicking ass behind the drum kit, Lombardo’s seen some

After allegations that he raped an inebriated fan came to light online in recent days, Between The Buried And Me guitarist Dustie Waring has been the focus of a consistent whirlwind of criticism swirling on social media. Given the details outlined by an unnamed woman in the band’s official subreddit, fans and bystanders alike awaited

Ever since its release last month, Metallica‘s 72 Seasons has sort of been on repeat for me. It’s a confusing record that I want to enjoy but find so much bloat amongst the good. I even said as much in my review at the time, essentially making the argument that Metallica needs someone in the

Within the last hour, Between The Buried And Me have announced that when head out on their Parallax 2: Future Sequence Tour this summer, guitarist Dustie Waring won’t be joining them, after allegations that he raped an inebriated fan came to light online in recent days. In a post on their various social media accounts,

After previously saying he wasn’t sick and he just needed to rest his voice, Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke announced just an hour ago that he has laryngitis and will have to cancel the band’s next three shows. As many of you know, I have been having some issues with my voice over the

When he was alive, Pantera guitarist and cannabis enthusiast ‘Dimebag’ Darrell was open about his admiration for many guitarists. And while KISS‘ Ace Frehley likely held the top rank in his heart, one of his contemporaries received a lot of admiration from the Texan axeman — Metallica‘s James Hetfield. For example, while speaking with Guitar
