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

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
Maybe it’s because of how long the pandemic’s gone on, but man, it seems like every hard rock and metal star on earth has decided to pick a fight this month. You got David Draiman and Sebastian Bach arguing, you got Corey Taylor and Machine Gun Kelly cat-fighting, you got Chris Barnes hazily taking swings
Joe Rogan’s been in the hot seat lately, what with artists getting furious and Spotify losing market value over his alleged COVID misinformation. But quietly, Spotify has also removed several episodes of Rogan’s show, including his interview with Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan, over his use of racial slurs within them. As reported by Consequence
Last we heard about questionable Swedish black metallers Watain was when their 2019 show in Singapore was canceled. But now, everyone’s favorite Scandinavian Aghori are back with a new album, and this one’s got a real goth-ass title! Watain’s new album will be called, wait for it, The Agony and Ecstasy of Watain. Why a
Man, COVID may not have been a creatively or financially fruitful for many musicians, but one thing it definitely inspired is donkey-brained schemes to make money. From Jasta Pasta to sock collaborations, this era really drove home the bizarre ways in which bands fight to pay for their new muffler. But this plan by Avenged
German alt-death metal act Obscura have been forced to cancel the planned Quebec dates of their upcoming North American tour due to COVID-19 limitations.

Last month, groove metal superstars Machine Head released a video chronicling the making of their upcoming album. Now, in a new interview, bassist Jared MacEachern has revealed that the band’s new record is complete and awaiting post-production. Speaking to Primordial Radio about the album’s process, his own contributions, and the general tone, Jared said the following [as
Remember back during the dawn of the pandemic, when Life of Agony vocalist Mina Caputo said she wasn’t “buying into the fear” surrounding COVID, and compared the virus to the pesticides her dog sometimes might inhale? Wll, that comment has unfortunately not aged well, especially now that Life of Agony have announced that they’ll have
Fans of death metal Egyptologists Nile have a good-news-bad-news-good-news situation coming their way. Good news: guitarist-vocalist Brian Kingsland just had a son! Congrats, Brian! Bad news: that means he’ll be sitting out of the band’s upcoming tour! Boo, bummer! But, good news: the band have found a replacement in Vital Remains frontman Scott Eames! Hooray!
Sad news for the rock and metal community today, as Jon Zazula, AKA Jonny Z, the co-founder of Megaforce Records who discovered Metallica and helped them record and release their earliest albums, has died. He was 69 years old. The news was confirmed by Variety, who said that Jon died at his home in Florida,
It was only November that alt-rockers Failure announced their new album and dropped its first single. But now, you’ll only be able to find that album on their Bandcamp, as it looks like Failure are joining the ranks of artists who are removing their music from streaming service Spotify. For those of you who haven’t
Last we heard about alleged serial abuser Marilyn Manson was when he was accused of raping his then-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood on the set of his video for “Heart Shapes Glasses,” a claim that Manson’s attorney has since denied. But according to Digital Nas, producer for rapper and Manson collaborator Kanye West, Manson is just
Hard rockers Sixx:AM did pretty damn well for themselves, all things considered. Five studio albums, several huge tours, worldwide renown, and a Billboard top ten cracker? That’s a solid life as a band, no matter how many times you slice it. But it’s now looking like Sixx:AM is calling it, as a new interview reveals
We’re definitely skeptical of what Netflix are doing with this upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massacre reboot. The take seems like a bit of a gamble, trying an Old Man Logan with Leatherface. That said, the streaming service just revealed the killer’s new mask via a new poster, and we gotta admit, it’s pretty fucked up. As
Man, we don’t know what hair got up founding Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes, but that dude has decided to throw some hard-ass shade at his old bandmates in public. First, the dude claimed that he was made “physically ill” by watching a YouTube roundtable featuring his replacement, George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, and that he “despises
Making a ton of money all at once is a surefire way to act like a total dickhead. We’d like to think that a massive seven-figure payout would erase our debts and support our families, but we might also find ourselves eyeing some pricey diamond-encrusted Motörhead watch or something equally stupid. Now, former Metallica bassist
Girl, Corey Taylor is maaad. The Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman apparently hasn’t forgotten his feud with rapper-turned-pop-punker Machine Gun Kelly, even though he essentially won it be posting proof that he shot down the opportunity to appear on MGK’s album. So on this year’s Shiprocked, when he was asked about Machine Gun Kelly, Corey decided to
Hard rockers Halestorm have had a rough year of it. In 2021, the band headed out on a bigass co-headlining tour with Evanescence, only to have to postpone certain dates due to outbreaks of COVID within their camps. Now, it looks like the band’s ‘An Evening With…’ tour in Europe this spring has been outright
