We’ve talked about Horsewhip a bunch on here before and not just because they’re a nostalgia act featuring former members of some of the era’s best hardcore bands (Combatwoundedveteran, Reversal of Man, etc.). No, Horsewhip’s brand of dark hardcore is explosive and atmospheric, calling to mind a more-direct version of Neurosis’ early work while also channeling influence

This week’s episode of The MetalSucks Podcast is a special one, as we’ve got John Gallagher of modern death metal icons Dying Fetus as our guest!

Until recently, the only thing E-Town Concrete was in the hardcore headlines for was vocalist Anthony Martini getting taken in a real estate scam.

Racetraitor just shared a video for the song “Chamelecón” about the violence in Honduras.

Wacken Metal Battle USA is back for 2024, and one lucky indie band from the U.S. who wins the challenge will get to perform at Wacken. Over previous years, five bands have been sent to the stage, including Fadrait (San Diego), Mythraeum (San Diego), Moarch (San Diego, Voices of Ruin (Anaheim), and Corpse Hoarder (Philadelphia).

Anyone else get the feeling that now that we’re in autumn, things are finally appropriately slowing down? Well, only for things to ramp the fuck back up once we get closer to the holidays, that is.

The TV personality is known for a ton of films, most notably Hairspray, Cry-Baby, and Serial Mom. He’s known for his weird dark, and twisted sense of humor, as evidenced

Conscientious and skull-crushing death metal band Narcotic Wasteland just dropped a new video for their song “Sex, Lies & DNA.” Led, of course, by Dallas Toler-Wade of Nile fame, the song features guest vocals from Andrea_N_Black. It also takes on one of the most infamous and storied death metal topics—true crime. “Sex, Lies & DNA

Earlier this week, rapper Post Malone once again showcased his love of rock music while on the Howard Stern Show by performing an Alice in Chains cover.

The trio came up with their own blend of technical brutal death metal in the vein

Look, Lexington, KY blackened punk trio Black Knife aren’t ones to mess around with subtle innuendo in their lyrics, or music, or artwork or anything, really. So, no surprise, their new single, arriving shortly before All Hallows Eve, is titled “Evil Sex on Halloween.” Which begs the question: Is all sex on Halloween inherently evil, or

In early 2020, London doom sect Cult Burial started a fresh decade with their two-track EP Sorrow.
