Back in October 1993, the face of heavy metal was changed forever when Entombed dropped their genre warping album Wolverine Blues, creating a new styles we’d never head of even back then and we didn’t know we needed — death ‘n’ roll. While it’s not a massively possible genre even today, it’s a definite cornerstone

Listen, ex-Slayer guitarist Kerry King — I know what it’s like wanting to relive your younger years. I get it, really. But what’s going on in the design of these Slayer figurines from KnuckleBonz is a little extreme on the wishful thinking. These newly announced limited-edition statues featuring the three consistent members of Slayer (Tom
Looking for something a little less heavy to start off your work week? False Fed have just the thing, their debut album, Let Them Eat Fake. It’s the first outing from the dark punk band but you probably know its members: vocalist Jeff Janiak (Discharge, Broken Bones), guitarist Stig C. Miller (Amebix, Zygote), bassist JP Parsons, and drummer
Get them snapping fingers ready, because we got Tommy Victor of Prong on the podcast this week to celebrate the release of State of Emergency. During our chat, we discuss the band’s recent push in releasing five albums in five years after taking a creative break. Tommy also riffs on his preference to write everything
The collectibles marketplace Quidd just announced their series of “Helloween” images. Not to be confused with the band that goes by that name, the series features rare and never-before-seen photos of KISS, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy Osbourne. The photos will be released October 30 and come from the recently unearthed vaults of Retna Pictures and
Judas Priest got everyone extra stoked at Power Trip Festival by announcing their 19th studio album, Invincible Shield. This will be their first album since 2018’s Firepower and their third with guitarist Richie Faulkner, who took the place of K.K. Downing in 2011. The record will drop March 8, 2024. Also making waves at Power
Mongolian band The Hu just unveiled a new video, “Sell The World.” While it’s their first animated video, it’s not a lighthearted one—It tackles limited resources and climate change. The song is from the band’s 2022 record Rumble of Thunder, out via Better Noise Music. “The ‘Sell the World’ music video is the first-ever animated
Brazilian death metal moguls Krisiun shared a video for “Necronomical” as well as some tour dates for lucky European fans. The song is from the band’s previously released studio album, Mortem Solis, out via Century Media Records. The video was created by Joao Mauricio Leonel / Biruta Filmes. Krisiun guitarist Moyses Kolesne says, “Doing the
It’s been an emotional roller coaster of a week for Betraying The Martyrs fans. The French metalcore band graced everyone with a music video featuring two singles, but also announced their imminent breakup. The video is for singles “Irae” and “The Veil” from their EP Godspeed. Along with the video, the band also dropped a
After falling victim to COVID exposure and injury on the road, Corey Taylor had to cancel his solo performance at Aftershock Festival today in Sacramento, California. The beloved Slipknot frontman was originally set to play at 5:35 p.m. PST today on the Jack Daniel’s stage, but now, Reddstar were moved from the Shockwave stage to
Another week, another new iteration of The MetalSucks Playlist. I’m not going to go on about some asinine thing here to get you to read my shit for too long before getting to the music this week, so all I’ll say is this new songlist includes new tracks from Wayfarer, Static-X, Prong, Kraanium, and Stain
Last month, Megadeth announced that guitarist Kiko Loureiro wasn’t going to join the band on the current leg of their “Crush The World” tour because of an undisclosed family emergency. It was an unfortunate situation that conflicted with the planned dates, but the band was able to soldier on by adding Wintersun guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari
Back for spooky season, horror-themed melodic metalcore band Ice Nine Kills recently announced that they’ll be premiering their music video for the song “Meet & Greet” via a livestream event on October 12. The special event, called “Meat & Greet: The Horrorwood Saga Comes to a Tasteful End,” will take place at The Montalban Theatre
The self-titled debut Montrose album, released 50 freakin’ years ago (!)—October 17, 1973—on Warner Bros. records was a game-changer that was hugely influential on some of the biggest metal and hard rock bands the world would ever know. Iron Maiden were fans, as was a little band from Pasadena called Van Halen. Montrose was a prime
It’s fitting that Vermilia release a video for “Ruska” at this time of year. After all, the Finnish word “ruska” represents autumn colors and foliage. Here in the northeastern United States, the time has come for that season to set in, and I imagine it’s nearing it’s peak in Finland as I write this. The
The response from people online over the ousting of CJ McMahon from Thy Art Is Murder and the band’s decision to replace him with Tyler Miller has been completely reasonable and full of good faith discourse. No calls to boycott and certainly no loudmouthed vocalists butting their tattooed faces into someone else’s business… Yeah, you
On October 10, Feral House will be publish A Walk Across Dirty Water and Straight Into Murderer’s Row (pre-order here), a new memoir from Oxbow frontman, acclaimed author and Decibel columnist Eugene S. Robinson. Focused on his time growing up in Brooklyn during the 1970s, playing in punk bands and touring the world during the 1980s,
The stoner doom blueprint has survived intact and mostly unchanged for decades, which is no small miracle in the musical world. You can pretty much count on hearing the usual sources of inspiration pop up from Ozzy-inflected vocals to Kyuss-dusted drop-tuned slack rifferama to Monster Magnet space weirdness. Long Island trio Restless Spirit tick all
It’s no secret that hardcore punk has always been at the forefront of pointing out social ills, political hypocrisy and the complete shit hammering the 99% suffers at the hand of the powerful 1%. While the rich, powerful and militarily connected continue to run rampant over the rest of us, you can always count on
During their most recent tour stop in Anaheim last night, grunge icons Alice In Chains whipped out a classic tune from their self-titled album from 1995 that rarely gets any live play these days. Fronted by William DuVall for the last 17 years (oh no, we’re all getting older…), the band has long had a
