I'm at the point where I pretty much prefer animated movies to live-action ones. I passed up some big deal, hotshot movie that came out recently, whose name I don't even remember, to see Rango. I'm usually a pretty good judge, too, because I knew Rango was going to be awesome ,and it was. It [...]

On March 1, MetalSucks photographer extraordinaire once again braved the savage, stinky pits of the Trocadero in Philadelphia, all so she could capture these absolutely killer pics from the Finnish Metal Tour, featuring Finntroll, Ensiferum, and Rotten Sound. Bow down before Alyssa's superior prowess with her weapon of choice - the camera. You are not worthy [...]

Dude windmilling in the jacuzzi as some band plays behind him. Jacuzzis = metal. Our brothas and sista at Metal Injection are having a grand ol' time on the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, which by now you've surely heard about: a 4-day cruise from Miami to Cozumel and back featuring close to 50 metal [...]

As far as I can tell, intellectual racist types just love to lure accommodating non-idiots into passionate arguments. Forever citing research both arcane and mainstream, these misguided lunkheads are awesome at wearing down the most patient conversant. It's always "Oh you don't get it, man. The Jews are responsible for this. The Blacks are more [...]

Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. There weren't any real hot button topics this week, so we decided to just play a fun game that used to keep Vince and Axl occupied for many a lunch period when they [...]

Twisted Sister are ridiculous. You know this. We know this. Dee Snider knows this, and it's his bloody band. They are, however, ridiculous for all the right reasons, which is why we're pleased as punch that they've been announced as the final Main Stage headliner for Bloodstock Open Air 2010. Also joining the old men in [...]

Merry Rotting Christ mas, ladies and gentleman, and welcome to the year-end installment of this column. Though other, more industrious writers have cast their vision back across the decade to craft comprehensive lists of goodness, spanning all ten years, this morsel of prose will focus solely on the dying year. Some of 2009's best offerings have already been profiled in my two previous columns , so spots are reserved in my top ten for Baroness' Blue Album , Shrinebuilder's self-titled release, and Gama Bomb's Tales from the Grave in [...]

My fellow Americans, the time is coming for us to buy plane tickets, catch a boat or start swimming to France. That's right, industrial metal innovators GODFLESH (kids: that's JUSTIN BROADRICK's band before JESU) are reuniting for an appearance at this summer's Hellfest, set for June 18-20, 2010 in Clisson. Oh yeah, you'll also be [...]

Well, shit.After battling to get into the country, Sweden's Hypocrisy have canceled their U.S. tour with Ensiferum, Blackguard and Swashbuckle. We previously reported that Canada's Ex Deo had to drop off the tour, also due to problems with immigration. Man, this tour just has no luck, does it? We're still confident the rest of the bands will kill it though, and we eagerly await the return of
