By all accounts, the Meshuggah / Cynic / The Faceless tour earlier year was exactly the masturbatory dude-fest it promised to be from the get-go. With a lineup like that, how could it be anything less than completely mindblowing? Before the show I had the opportunity to catch up with Meshuggah guitarist Marten Hagstrom. I [...]
:: Death Cab For Cutie will be releasing an EP containing tracks that didn't make the cut for Narrow Stairs . Yowza. If they weren't "good enough" for that album... :: As it happens, M83 did not appear on Last Call with Carson Daly last night. That's what I get for trusting three-week-old press releases over the guide button on my TV. But they're scheduled for Wednesday, so there. :: Metallica 's bassist, Robert Trujillo, has publicly professed his love for [...]
There are a LOT of Meshuggah rip-off bands these days. Tons of 'em. But accusing a band of sounding like Meshuggah is a pretty damn fine compliment, and if you asked the lads in Fellsilent what they thought of this comparison they'd likely have an answer similar to Airbourne's Joel O'Keefe when we asked him [...]
What better way to begin your week than with a little MESHUGGAAAHHH. Here at the Metal Injection Studios, we still can't get over the awesome Meshuggah/Cynic/The Faceless show we saw last week, so all three bands are currently in our rotation. I thought I'd upload a track from my favorite Meshuggah release, the None EP. [...]

I'm fuckin' tired and the MetalSucks Mansion Monkeys are getting antsy and flinging poo all over each other. Let's make this quick: Maria Brink posed for Playboy. We ejaculated all over each other at the Meshuggah / Cynic / Faceless show. Early Man's Mike Conte got "Whiplashed" in new MetalSucks column. We lampooned Joey Belladonna's genitalia and housing. We reviewed [...]
Last night, the entire Metal Injection crew came out for what may end up being the biggest show of 2009: Meshuggah, Cynic and The Faceless. It was truly place to be. Spotted in the crowd were members of GOD FORBID, A LIFE ONCE LOST and SUICIDE SILENCE. Everybody was there to see this killer lineup. [...]
So, as Vince mentioned, we went to see the Mesuggah/Cynic/The Faceless last night. It should go without saying that the show was killer - still, having never seen Cynic or The Faceless live before, I was somewhat unprepared for just how killer the evening turned out to be. First of all: The Faceless. Look, if some [...]
Saying we're not beyond stoked for the Meshuggah / Cynic / The Faceless pummeling we're going to receive tonight would be like saying Wes Borland didn't re-join Limp Bizkit for the moolah (it's the nookie... yeah... that's it). I mean this is pretty much the ultimate prog-metal erectionfest of 2009, whatwith the certain non-metal-itude of [...]
Thanks to Metal Injection for pointing out that A Life Once Lost have apparently started work on the follow-up to 2007's Sacrament, Part II Iron Gag. In a statement, the band said "Now that we've heard Lamb of God's Wrath, we know what our new album should sound like!" In all seriousness, I shouldn't give ALOL [...]
Noah and the Whale to play the Entry, new "Making Music" shows announced & a pair of local music videos released
If 2008 was the year of Gojira, then 2009 will most certainly be the year every new band looking for some traction starts saying they sound like Gojira. Especially bands from France. Take recent Metal Blade-signees END. (all capitals, followed by a period. not to be confused with The End, the Tool soundalikes from Canada, [...]
Welcome to February. Forget "This Week" in Bay Area Live Shows, think of this post as "This Month" in Bay Area Live Shows. I mean look at what's in store this month! Two Gallants, The Appleseed Cast, Lykke Li , two Andrew Bird shows and a shitload more. As for this week, I'll be at the Mae Shi show at House of Nostromos in Oakland and a Friday evening with one of my idols, Henry Rollins . I have yet to witness a Mae Shi show but from what I hear, it's [...]
Early next month, two of the finest acts in extreme music, the mighty Swedes of Meshuggah and prog-metal forefathers Cynic , will embark on a three week North American tour sponsored by Myspace Music . Both bands continue to pound pavement in support of their most recent releases – Meshuggah, behind their brutal March 2008 [...]
One of the many stories we didn't actually get to discuss this week is the news that The Faceless are the latest metal act to banned from The Disney-owned House Of Blues in Anaheim, California. Oddly enough, their tour mates in Meshuggah and Cynic were not banned; what makes The Faceless any more (or less) [...]
Meshuggah sings the following genre(s): Death Metal , Thrash Metal More videos from Meshuggah : MESHUGGAH: Bleed [...]

It's only January 7th but already three ridiculously awesome North American tours are planned for the early part of the year: Soilwork + Darkane + Swallow the Sun + Daylight Dies (in some markets) Meshuggah + Cynic + The Faceless The Haunted + Nachtmystium + Kylesa + Intronaut Like, woah. The Soilwork and Haunted tours are both MetalSucks co-sponsored, so [...]
Even before we were an "industry type" (I think we can safely call ourselves that now), I loved the fact that Roadrunner Records posts their staffers and some of the artists "best of" lists every year; these people work at/with one of the biggest metal labels out there, so it's pretty interesting to see what [...]
