At this point, it’s as though the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has decided that it just wants to piss off the metal community (which, given who we are, we fully understand and support). First, the Hall repeatedly snubs rock and metal bands year after year; then, when Dolly Parton drops off the ballot,
Metal
Left-wing rap-rockers Rage Against The Machine have released a statement relating to the recently-leaked documents which revealed that the Supreme Court intends to overturn influential pro-choice court decision Roe v. Wade. Here’s Rage’s statement: “Rage Against The Machine stands in support of reproductive justice and will continue to fight against any attempts to restrict or
Earlier this week, it was announced that Judas Priest would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…kinda? Though the band aren’t among the performers being inducted, they are receiving the ‘Musical Excellence Award,’ which is an induction of sorts, we guess. The band are also probably going to perform at the ceremony,
MetalSucks Presents Beer Metal – Updated May 7th, 2022 I gotta be careful tonight, man. Tomorrow’s Mother’s Day, and now that I’m a dad, I can’t fuck around and disappoint both my wife AND my mom. That said, y’all should go nuts to these killer drinking tracks… Tankard, “Kings of Metal” – Bunch of you
Like so many of their deathcore brethren, Suicide Silence definitely moved in a more commercial direction over their career, though they never fully bought into that deal-with-it-I’m-all-about-that-life attitude the way some others did. However, a couple of days ago the band released a new standalone single this week named “Thinking In Tongues,” and it’s definitely
When it comes to the human body as meat, no director has taken the risks and plumbed the depths of the human imagination like David Cronenberg. The Canadian filmmaker changed how we perceive horror with films like 1977’s The Brood, 1983’s Videodrome, and his 1986 remake of The Fly. Not content only with sci-fi, though,
Mexico has long been a source of inspiration for brutal death metal, goregrind and grindcore artists. From Japanese bands being inspired by Brujeria to Canada’s Fuck the Facts naming their 2008 album Disgorge Mexico, the reach of those residing south of the border is palpable and lengthy. It’s no secret that there are legions of metal fans
Yesterday, we wrote about how hard rocker Joan Jett called out Ted Nugent over his recent criticism of her by reminding us all that he shat his pants to escape the draft. Now, Nugent is doing what conservative shitheads and heartless cretins like him do in these scenarios: playing the victim! For those of you
Among the many bands currently pulping metalcore’s face with their brutal riffage and ultra-drops, Chamber are definitely an act we’ve really come to appreciate. The dudes are just consistently fucking brutal where so many others seem content to try and get more commercial and progressive with each new album; while some bands are finally getting
On the surface, Bloodywood might sound like a gimmick — Indian folk metal sung at least partly in Hindi — but the proof is always in the pudding, and the pudding here is pretty fucking delicious. Bloodywood merge groove metal, nu-metal, and traditional Indian folk instruments with excellent results. So we’re stoked as fuck to
Last we heard from hardcore crew Candy was when guitarist Drew Stark got hit by a car. But now, the band have a new album coming, and they’ve released the first single from it via a disturbing new music video. Candy’s latest will be titled Heaven Is Here, and will come out June 24th via
Earlier this year, the stars of stunt/prank show Jackass released the fourth feature film in the series, named Jackass Forever. The movie was surprisingly hardcore compared to its predecessor, and involved some of the crew’s most dangerous and brutal stunts to date. One might think that this was a good cap on these poor assholes’
Sad news today, as Jossara Jinaro, the character actor who played the maid during one of the most iconic scenes in Rob Zombie‘s 2005 film The Devil’s Rejects, has died. She was 48 years old. According to her husband’s Facebook post, Jossara died of cancer. She leaves behind two children, Liam and Emrys. For those
It’s undeniable that rap-rockers Limp Bizkit have a history of intense live performances. After all, when you write a song called “Break Stuff,” are fans supposed to stand still? That said, the band’s show this past Saturday in Hollywood, Florida, was canceled due to concerns from the venue, and honestly, it all feels a little
Sad news for the metal, noise, and experimental music world today, as Gabe Serbian, drummer for mysterious noise rock band The Locust, died yesterday, April 30th, 2022. According to Metal Archives, Gabe died one day short of his 45 birthday. The Locust posted the following statement on their Facebook: “It’s with heavy hearts that we
Back in February, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released their line-up of 2022’s nominees for induction. Included on that list were seminal heavy metal band Judas Priest and influential rap-rockers Rage Against The Machine. Unfortunately, the Hall of Fame’s fan vote has been tallied, and neither of these metal bands made the cut.
Right now, Suicide Silence are gearing up for a co-headlining tour with Carnifex. However, it also looks like they’re changing up their ranks as well, as they’ve officially parted ways with drummer Alex Lopez. The band made the following announcement via their social media: “Suicide Silence & our long-time drummer, Alex Lopez, have mutually agreed to part
MetalSucks Presents Beer Metal – Updated Walpurgisnacht, 2022 Woof, I got fucking CRUSHED last night. I ate three bowls of my wife’s keto sugared cereal, and now my insides are trying to fucking murder me. Anyway, let’s start drinking again, I got lawn shit to do. Here’s what we got this Saturday: Cross Examination, “Arson
Right now, Jackass star Steve-O is a sober and at least semi-coherent individual who has a podcast called ‘Steve-O’s Wild Ride.’ But once upon a time, Steve-O was a chemically-altered wild card, and got up to all manner of bad shit with all kinds of famous people. Now, in a new interview, he reveals which
When I was 14, I was in a band named Splinter. We were terrible, and only ever wrote two terrible songs, and they sucked. My mom has a tape somewhere. We played a live showcase at our drummer’s high school, and none other than Axl Rosenberg himself cut the power midway through our song. I
