:: Hmm, six degrees of Mick Jagger's peen ... interesting. :: A former member of NWA (the rap group, not the loosely interconnected network of regional wrestling promotions) is suing Fergie for unpaid royalties . Apparently, the boys got their pleasures from his photo first. :: Dream Theater is planning a new album. I say "yawn." My guess is Jay says "yay." Eh? :: The stars have aligned for Kip at Rock Sellout. He'll be flying to Seattle to attend Sasquatch Music [...]
What's better than great music? Great music for free, of course! And we know you downloading motherfuckers agree with us, because you're always e-mailing us about leaks n' shit. So why not download something that will neither a) make you feel guilty for stealing nor b) possibly condemn you to a life of living in a [...]
NEW CAMERA OBSCURA ALBUM Featuring instantly enjoyable twee-pop absolute jams, Camera Obscura have a wallop of an album on their hand with their fourth release My Maudlin Career . Featuring hooks the likes of which catch indie-rock sharks (from the French Navy perhaps?) this new album sees the Glasgow sextet at the top of their pop game, expanding on the work of Let's Get Out of This Country by offering more expansive instrumentation and more artistic flourishes than even the bravest hipsters wouldn't [...]
That I'm sitting here in the MetalSucks Mansion this snowy Monday morning has gotta be some kinda heavy metal miracle; as I type this, Anton OyVey, Rob Pasbani from Metal Injection, our friends from BITPOM.com, and a lot of other fine friends are still stranded in Atlanta due to the weather. And honestly, there are worse [...]
There is a meme going around Facebook involving albums "that changed your life." Most lists I've seen have disappointed me, mostly because they're just lists. Sure, albums change your life - but how? Here is my attempt to answer that. I've limited my selections to hardcore punk and metal. (I could make such lists for many genres.) What these are not: my favorite albums, albums I consider classic, albums that soundtracked various parts of my life. Those would all be different. The criterion here is rearrangement of DNA. Unlike Facebook, [...]
I've listening to a good deal of female-fronte, less-than-tough bands lately. You may have noticed. And it's taken a toll on my manhood, as the headline above implies. Well, now I'm adding Donora to that list. Catchy, quirky, even a hint of an attitude - but not at all masculine. But in an effort to help balance out the twee and tough (and maybe lean a little toward the tough), I've paired Donora's I Think I Like You with No Heroes from Converge [...]
Apocalypse Photography is the work of Darian Hailes .

Born in the ever-so-growing city of Atlanta,GA Darian has been photographing for about four years and has yet to feel the tire of it yet. As a freelance photographer Darian has experience in news and sports, bands (live shots and promotional pictures), natural landscapes, modeling, graduation and dance parties and still life. [...]
Here's all you need to know about Doomriders: 1) Nate Newton of Converge, J.R. Connors of Cave In 2) dirty, beer-fueled, hardcore-tinged southern rawk (think: Thin Lizzy for the modern era) 3) Awesome. While the band promised but didn't deliver a new record in '08, Lambgoat reports that '09 is the year; the band is reportedly recording at Godcity [...]
photo by Jesse Angelo by theseseans (NYC) Converge have posted a string of tour dates following their stop at the Scion Rock Festival. The seven day stomp around the eastern United States is a hardcore fan's dream come true. The tour includes Coliseum, Ceremony, Rise and Fall, Pulling Teeth, and a one off show for Genghis Tron. Fuck! These shows are going to be insane! The band also said
Converge have lined up a set of shows in the Northeast with Ceremony, Coliseum, Rise and Fall, and Pulling Teeth before entering the studio to write a new album in the Spring. The dates are: 3/23 Allston, MA @ ICC Church 3/24 Buffalo, NY @ Mohawk Place 3/25 Cleveland, OH @ TBA 3/26 Lemoyne, PA @ Championship 3/27 Brooklyn, NY [...]
According to a press release delivered to the MS Mansion this morning via Pony Express, nine more bands have been added to the already boner-ific lineup at the COMPLETELY FREE Scion Rock Fest in Atlanta on February 28th: Converge Pig Destroyer Septic Flesh Coalesce Trash Talk Evil Army US Christmas Gaylord Apocalyptic Visions Like, holy fucking shit!!@$^&*^@!!! So, about those free tickets, you're wondering. We'll be [...]
According to the website of Brooklyn's Europa club, noisy hardcore heroes Converge will headline a show there on Friday March 27th with MetalSucks faves Genghis Tron. (Also on the bill: Ceremony, Rise and Fall, and Pulling Teeth.) Tickets are on sale right now, people! The Converge and Genghis Tron websites don't mention this gig, nor [...]
We're not going to give a certain car company more free press (we'll leave that to Frisky Dingo), but there's a certain festival of the 'rock' variety coming up (you know, the one with Mastodon and Neurosis and High On Fire and Converge and Boris and Torche and Nachtmystium and-- ah, fuck, just look at the freakin flyer) and, like, we really wanna go. Problem is, tickets are a bit hard to come

So apparently, instead of taking the traditional route and advertising on TV, billboards, etc, Scion has decided to host music festivals instead as a means of promoting their brand. Strange? I thought so too, until I saw the lineup for their "Rock Fest." Holy mother of fuck, I don't care WHAT they're selling - any [...]

Animosity's Leo Miller is not a man of large stature, which is why it was so surprising to see him command the stage like a rabid dog upon catching them on the Metal Sucks-sponsored Job for a Cowboy/ All Shall Perish/ Annotations of an Autopsy tour. Miller and company brought the sort of frenetic energy [...]
If you're not familiar with Magrudergrind, it's because media outlets (including this one) don't give them enough coverage. But they have to be one of the best grind bands on the scene right now; 2007's Rehashed was pretty fuckin' good, but the three songs they contributed to Scott Hull's This Comp Kills Fascists were even [...]
Hailing from Leeds, weighing in at a combined weight of some are hard rockers, The Plight . Bassist, Sean Loughlin took some time out to talk about his year in rock 'n' roll. What was your highlight of 2008? Breaking the speed limit on my bike, signing on and touring with Converge (in that order). What's the worst thing that happened to you in 2008? [...]
