Industrial-metal legends Fear Factory will release Recoded in October, a remix album featuring new takes on songs from their most recent LP, 2021’s Aggressive Continuum. The record is Fear Factory’s first remix album in 25 years, with the last being 1997’s Remanufacture. The October 28 release marks the 32nd anniversary of Fear Factory’s founding nearly

The Pantera reunion tour has long been considered the great, fabled, metal reunion tour of all time — and one that would almost certainly never happen. Given that guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbot and drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott are both dead, it’s been generally assumed that the tour was a pipe dream. But now, it appears
For an act like New York’s Witnesses, there needs to be some level of meaning behind the music. The band’s take on doom metal is too atmospheric, too heartfelt and organic, to be used as the vehicle for stories that every metalhead has heard a million times, exhausted legends about good and evil, monsters and
Real talk? We have no beef with Five Finger Death Punch, we just think that their music is wack and their lead singer has previously exhibited all the restraint and steadiness of James McAvoy in Split. But now, FFDP’s octopus-headed bassist Chris Kael (gotta give props to our own Vinnie Bellissimo for that description) has
Since its emergence in the early ’80s, thrash has always been metal’s most reliable genre. Trends come and go, bands rise and fall, but at the end of the day what we all really want is a fast riff and lyrics about minigun demons that’ll make us bang our heads like psychopaths. In fact, we’d
Popular metal and hardcore blog Lambgoat is now under new ownership, according to a post from the site’s founder, Alex Arnold, last night. He clarified that the site will continue on under the care of Dave, also known as Lurk. You can read his full statement below, but Arnold appears to be leaving Lambgoat on
Last week, video emerged of Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil using a teleprompter for some of the band’s big hits like “Looks That Kill” and “Home Sweet Home” during their recent Stadium Tour. While some felt bummed out by this, many others, including several prominent figures in the rock and metal world, came out in
It’s been 11 years since politically-charged rap-rockers Rage Against The Machine have played a live show. But last night saw the band play the first gig of their current tour, video of which you can see below. As you can see from the fan-shot footage included here (via Blabbermouth), the band are in solid form.
King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and his wife, the actress and singer Toyah Willcox, are back with the latest entry in their ongoing “Sunday Lunch” series of cover videos. This Sunday, Fripp and Toyah are covering Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell” — a song they’ve in fact already covered. However, this time around, Toyah’s outfit is considerably more sheer,
Lately, Linton Rubino, former Nameless Ghoul bassist for occult rock act Ghost, has been vocal about his frustrating time in the band. Now, in a new interview, Linton takes a moment to laud his work on the band’s 2016 album Meliora — and crap on their 2022 record IMPERA. Speaking to Clint Switzer on On
MetalSucks Presents Beer Metal – Updated July 9th, 2022 Oh man, it’s been a hot second since we did a fan-driven beer metal update. Thankfully, you dirtbags delivered, and we have a great line-up of boozin’ music for you today Line up, crack ’em open… Leather Lung, “Road Soda” – We fucking LOVE this band.
You motherfuckers know Cognitive from New Jersey? Killer band. Ultra-heavy live band who play crushing tech-death with some powerful moments of atmosphere throughout. Well, guess what, they’re about to head out on tour! Oh, also these bands you might have heard of, Fallujah and Psycroptic? I guess they’re the co-headliners or something. Also, Interloper will
Earlier this week, we got our official first poster for Rob Zombie‘s remake of The Munsters. Now, Zombie himself has revealed that he’s finished shooting the film, and has released a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot to boot. Alongside new photos of Rob and his cast, the shock rocker posted the following message to
Last week, we ran a poll about the new wave of death metal that seems to be sweeping the scene. We listed over 20 bands in an attempt to cast a wide net, and we were excited to see how many different bands got voted on. It’s easy to think that death metal is a
Last month, former Death drummer Kam Lee publicly stated that Death mastermind Chuck Schuldiner ripped off Bay Area band Possessed, officially cementing the latter act as the first death metal band. Lee also went on to say that he was kept from being part of the documentary on Chuck’s life because people didn’t want him
If you’re a fan of cartoons beyond getting high and snickering at them, you know who Genndy Tartakovsky is. The animator’s most renowned works are the Cartoon Network shows Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack, though it’s worth noting that he’s also the director behind the Hotel Transylvania series. But what some might not know is
In case you forgot, beef erupted between Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and rapper-turned-pop-punker and self-proclaimed savior of rock and roll Machine Gun Kelly when Taylor said he didn’t care for MGK on a podcast and Kelly in turn took a moment during a festival gig (with Slipknot performing one stage over) to say he was
In May, Swedish thrash demons Witchery revealed that they have a new album on the way, and dropped the unbelievably rad first single “Popecrusher.” Now, the band have released another new single, titled “Witching Hour,” and damn, does it fucking rule. Now, just a heads up: “Witching Hour” is NOT a cover of the Venom
On Friday, we reported that Metallica‘s thrash classic “Master of Puppets” is featured prominently in the finale of the latest season of Stranger Things. Now, it’s been revealed that the attention that Stranger Things brought to the track has vaulted the song onto Spotify’s ‘Top 50’ playlists, both globally and in the U.S. SPOILERS: In
Music festivals have a tight schedule. Given how often one act has to go on mere minutes after another one’s set ends, it’s not uncommon for a band’s to do soundcheck while another band is playing on a stage some 300 feet away. And you’d think that this far into his career, Megadeth‘s Dave Mustaine
