by ill? ya! (NYC) Unholy shit! Apparently the spring thaw brings sunshine, warmer weather and a fuck-load of hate and darkness. March is bloated with shows, so choose carefully (and stock up on earplugs). This week, I assume most of you will steer clear of ol' Dani Filth. Oh, Nachtmystium are on that bill? Good for them. Instead, catch the old-school death/thrash of Master and the unfuckwithable
By Atanamar Sunyata Black metal means many things to many people. The longevity of the genre is due in no small part to the malleability of its musical tenets. Misanthropy forms the dark heart of black metal's ethos, while a predilection for speed, tremolo picked guitars, screeching vocals and bleak blastbeats serve as common aural ...
DOWNLOAD : Master - "In Control" (from Slaves of Society ) " Dragging its venomous oldschool intent like a caveman with his club, MASTER are proudly living up to their name and taking their place among death metal's founding fathers. " - Terrorizer Death metal legends Master are proud to announce their 2011 U.S. headlining tour. Scheduled to take place next month, the debauchery will commence on March 1 in Fredrick, Maryland and run through over a month's worth of dates before coming to a close on [...]
When it comes to old school death metal, nobody is more old school than Master. Paul Speckmann has been doing this thing since 198-fucking-3, as evidenced by a beard that would put most Isis fans to shame. He now resides in the Czech Republic, a country more known for wacky grind than straight-ahead metal, but he comes over to the other side of the pond every once in a while. He'll do it again in
I feel like we should all be jamming out to "Right Now" (and drinking Crystal Pepsi?), because this is the day we've all been waiting for. It's time to stop living in the past and start living in the moment: my annual list of the one-hundred best albums of 2010 is finally ready for you to feast your eyes on it. Look at it. Look at it how you would a naked slut as she spreads her legs for you. It's here for the taking. As is customary now, I've decided not to write blurbs for all 100 [...]
Last week we offered a 10 CD package from Rotting Corpse Records, and a lot of folks entered which is sweet 'cause you're sure to discover some awesome new music. And the winner is.... Name Not Applicable: "National Socialist Rap Metal failed to catch on." This week we've got two packages to give away, each consisting of [...]
Just so you know, when Vince and I cuddle, he's usually the big spoon. Here's what happened in MetalSucks Land this week: Misery Index's Jason Netherton joined us for the latest edition of Cooking Contaminated. Intronaut's Sacha Dunable wondered if corporate-sponsored metal shows are killing the live concert market. We chatted with Soilwork's Peter Wichers, Mantric's Ole Halvard Sveen, and Black Army [...]
I've never really understood the whole "modern raw black metal" trend. I mean, I do understand where the original "kvlt tr003 bands like Darkthrone and Mayhem were coming from... in the 90s. After all, it's fun to dress up in ridiculous costumes, paint faces, and make hilariously bad quality metal - it's like Halloween. But [...]
It's time to listen the tracks I have not posted recently. Here is the next NOT POSTED mix. This one here would actually fill up a CDr, if you were so inclined. And if you like/love/hate metal, make sure you check out the end of the mix. Listen. Downloadables: I Don't Believe You (mp3) by The Thermals Bermuda Triangle (mp3) by YellowFever Best Napkin I Ever Had (mp3) by Black Lips [...]
Sunday night. A long day at work. On the way home I stopped at Pat's to take in the fourth quarter of the NBA Finals game. I don't really care who wins, but I like to see my friends happy, so we'll say I'm rooting for the Celtics. Upon winning the game, these crazed Boston natives decided it would be cool and fun if we all walked down the street - in an overwhelmingly Spanish-speaking neighborhood in Los Angeles - to a bar, where we could all cheers the Celtics and taunt Lakers fans. This, of course, was the bright [...]
by beatmasterspeech (LA)My new year's resolution is to post more LA show picks rather than attempting for my first choice of trying to receive oral exploration on each ride at Disneyland... in one day. So with that said, let's hop right to it. NAMM* has rolled into town this week, which is a good and bad thing. Tons of shows BUT tons of industry type crowds floating around. We all know the type:
First show of the the new year for me proved to be a great one. Local black metallers Woe, who recently signed to Candlelight Records, opened the night up a little early with hypnotizing riffage, closing the set with "Condemned with Prey." In spite of the starting times having been changed, Woe's creator Chris Grigg [...]
Attendants of the Kansas City Power Metal Fest this weekend probably bought tickets far in advance. But if you live in the US Midwest, like old-school true metal, and don't know about it — now you do. (See details here ). Headlining are Manilla Road and Widow. It's a trip seeing such a European-style festival in the US. Lightning Swords of Death - Damnation Pentastrike Ravage - Into the Shackles Two highlights of KCPMF are on Metal Blade: recent signees Lightning Swords [...]
Metal Blade Records sign Lightning Swords Of Death LA black metallers Lightning Swords Of Death have signed to Metal Blade Records. Vocalist Autarch comments: "Metal Blade has made a pact with the Devil. His knights, Lightning Swords of Death shall go forth to wreak torment upon man and all his works for conquer and the glory of Hell on Earth. We rejoice in this union, together we shall stack the souls of the weak and fill our chalice with the [...]
Black metal has made it into video games. This first foray actually looks promising: Undead Knights , by Tecmo, out this fall. The player's objective is to build an army of zombies — the fast kind, evidently — to fight humans. How awesome is that? I am not familiar with video games, and promo animations are more high-powered than actual gameplay. However, the above trailer is enticing. It's hard to go wrong with armies of the undead. (See Army of Darkness .) Lightning Swords of Death - [...]
California black metalers Lightning Swords of Death are playing Precious Metal night at Lit Lounge on August 17th. Sharing the bill is Bastard Sapling (Richmond, VA black metal) and Agrath (NYC black metal). Cover is $6.00 In other news, Lightning Swords of Death were recently invited to take part in the soundtrack to Undead Knights , a new PlayStation game from video game publisher TECMO. This sounds like the perfect game for a black metal soundtrack as this is one of the first games that I've ever [...]

As you all know, I am a rabid fan of all things metal. Just take one look at me, and what do you see...A rabid death metal fan, right? So you can imagine how elated I was when Autarch, lead singer of the amazingly-talented, blacker-than-black Los Angeles death metal band Lightning Swords of Death agreed to an interview! I remember the first time he and I met - no, wait, I don't. I was really drunk at a bar called 3 Of Clubs . Phoebe was standing outside having a cigarette and chatting with a guy and [...]
It was a weird, post-apocalyptic mess in Los Angeles this weekend. From Santa Barbara to Anaheim, thirty-five thousand acres of land have been scorched by wildfires. The closest flames to LA are still burning in the San Fernando Valley, and may continue to burn for days. The last three days were unlike anything I have ever experienced. The drive home from work Saturday evening was marked by an ominous orange/black sunset. The air outside burned my eyes and parched my throat, even if there was no sign of any smoke wafting through the city. Some folks at higher elevations claimed [...]
by beatmasterspeech (LA) On the local heroes front, the Los Angeles blackened metal band Lightning Swords of Death will be laying waste to the Relax Bar tomorrow night. If you are a fan of 1349 and the like, give these guys a shot-- pure evil from the city of angels. Also, if you haven't heard of LA's fucking hard rockin' RTX , I highly suggest you get your ass down to Spaceland this Saturday to be wowed and plowed. They have that something special that reminds you of [...]
