FEATURING MEMBERS OF MELVINS, RED FANG, JUNIUS, EXHUMED, RWAKE, ORPHANED LAND, HULL, EARTH, AND KILL THE CLIENT Every year year, MetalSucks asks musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in a few cases, the almost-metalsphere) what their favorite albums of the year have been. Death metallers, thrash metallers, black metallers, stoners, grinders, and djenters alike [...]
So remember a couple of weeks back, when Waterloo Records in Austin, Texas attempted to see how many illegible band logos their employees could actually identify or, better still, just plain read? Well, now they've done it again, this time with members of Tombs and Kill the Client. And at first, the band dudes are all [...]
A few weeks ago, we showed you this videoclip of employees of Waterloo Records being put through the death metal ringer, to decipher some common and uncommon death metal/black metal logos. We all had a good laugh. Recently, Tombs and Kill The Client stopped by the shop and they were put through the same ringer. ...
Because two young upstart blogs have put together a few for your listening pleasure. I haven't had a chance to check any of these out myself yet, but, like the headline says, they're free, so it seems worth mentioning, because what have you got to lose, right? Here are the deets: Reader Ross Gnarly runs [...]
By Andrew Wilhelm (TX)No, it's not quite Chaos in Tejas time, but May still has a bevy of killer shows.Sailor Jerry did not do me any favors at SXSW, but they are putting on a free show featuring The Bronx at the Parish on Wednesday. While I've never been a fan of their studio material - if I'm missing something, there is a comments box - they always put on a rowdy live show. You can RSVP for
Our boy Black Bubblegum knows how to hustle the hustle.

This party will appeal more to those who like a little grind and/or hardcore in their metal. Headlining will be Cleveland's Ringworm, and the supporting cast includes Wormrot,
by Andrew Wilhelm (TX)December is usually pretty barren in terms of shows, mostly because of students leaving for Christmas break. While the latter half of the month is pretty much dead (unless you want to see an all-male Lady Gaga tribute band), the beginning of December is surprisingly rife with shows.On the 2nd, reunited thrashers Forbidden will play Emo's. While most of the bands opening for

I didn't know Kill the Client before they were on Scott Hull's super-duper special This Comp Kill Fascists (that would be the original, not the recent Vol. 2), but I know them now. They are a dirty, filthy grind band, the kind that would make you glad you're grand ma is already incontinent and therefore [...]
Dallas grind maniacs Kill the Client (above) have announced a string of September dates in support of OG hardcore supergroup, Venomous Concept. Half Napalm Death, half Brutal Truth, Venomous Concept are basically the 1992 U.S. Olympic men's basketball team of punk and grind. And by now, it's pretty clear how we feel about Kill the Client. If you live on the Left Coast, you really have no excuse

A couple friends and I drove from Chicago to Baltimore in a car with leather seats and no air conditioning, blaring metal so loud we could hear it with all the windows open while doing eighty down the Pennsylvania turnpike. We took turns plugging our mp3 players into the tape adapter and playing songs [...]

by Cosmo Lee One of the best pieces of music reportage I've read in a while is here , at the blog Grind and Punishment. It's about grindcore musicians who've served in the US military - interesting given grindcore's typical pacifism. The author interviews Champ Morgan (Kill the Client), Pete Ponitkoff (Benumb/Agenda of Swine), Karl Willetts (Bolt Thrower), and Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter). They paint a complex, nuanced picture of the intersection of metal and war. I'm shocked and dismayed that [...]
