[Photos by acidjack] I suppose one could fairly accuse this site of not featuring enough heavy music. There are several reasons for that, not least being that a lot of "metal" bands aren't into being recorded. But here's to hoping that changes, especially since Brooklyn has had a vibrant metal scene going for quite awhile now, as chronicled by BrooklynVegan among few "indie" sites that acknowledge metal even exists. Naam are one of the first bands that made me realize such a gap existed in our coverage, when I saw them open for Om [...]

Bobby Albert - Serving Hub City Rock from 1981-2012 Nobody knows the answer Why Bobby Albert Jr would one day wake-up on a cold January and decide The Court Tavern (124 Church St) would close it's doors forever. Maybe he got an offer he could not refuse - but I doubt it. Maybe the burden of a looming $60 thousand dollar bar license was just too huge an amount of hard swet and pride he was not willing to cough up one more time. The hole was just to big so he folded his hand. [...]

These guys kick such major ass. I heartily recommend you listen to a fuck-ton of their stuff. Before you do- make sure you drink some Nyquil and take some cold pills. Chasing it back with a couple of shots of bourbon is cool too. A few bongloads couldn't hurt. Then, play this shit real fucking loud. "bought another copy of zoso, seeds were bustin' up the spine"
Monster Magnet are playing Dopes To Infinity in Glasgow and London this week so we thought we'd revisit an awesome video from a completely different album. Go figure...

Avant que Monster Magnet ne devienne un monstre de stade et n'excite les néo-métalleux acnéiques post-MTV de son powertrip, le groupe du moustachu Dave Wyndorf affola le stoner rock grâce à un Dopes to Infinity s'enracinant dans le psychédélisme d'un Jefferson Airplane tout en gardant l'agressivité du rock viril d'un Deep Purple . Une chevauchée trépidante sous LSD à l'arrière de la bécane encore graisseuse d'un Hell's Angels. Imaginez le Ace of Spade de sir Lemmy revu à la sauce champi et sci-fi et vous serez encore loin de [...]

The Texas Chainsaw Mashacre Here are some scary songs for Halloween along with a mash-ups to go with it to scare up your playlist. Mladek MP3 by Russian Circles from their record Empros - Slam jammer with a slayer and explosions in the sky tilt. You can hear Jason creeping around on this one. Does not get scarier than this. The Monster Mash MP3 by Bobby Pickett - A classic oldie but goody. Psycho Killer [...]
A complete history of "Space Lord" by Monster Magnet, the shining light in a relatively obscure discography from a group of hard rockers from New Jersey.

Last month our own Leyla Ford admitted to being a Lady Gaga fan and even declared Uglier Madonna to be "one of us," and the reaction from the MS readership was something typically calm and reasonable, along the lines of "!?#@$%?!*?!!!!" Which I didn't really understand - I don't like Lady Gaga, either, but at [...]

remember monster magnet – specially tab (mibbe spine of god) era – when those longhairs were still tripping, teasing out mad strands of heavy metal chunter and swirls of silvery ectojazm from narcotic brains. before wyndorf ditched the shrooms, strapped on his shiny leather pants and turned into the fucking scorpions, into some hard-rock cypher. remember those thirty long and damaged minutes of tab, one riff forever teetering at the edge of oblivion. more pedals and effex jiggerypokery than you could shake a lysergic dipped stick at. the sound of blue oyster cult's brains leaking out of a stylus onto [...]
When word reached Lady Gaga last year that she'd been described by Ozzy Osbourne as "very clever, very interesting," "wacky," and in possession of a likable zaniness, the pop singer expressed her joy by calling herself Black Sabbath's biggest fan "in the world." Um, yeah that's a patent and insulting falsehood, but shit, no worries cuz [...]

Is Ophiuchus the 13th Zodiac Sign? Let me see if I can figure this out. The issue has been debunked by some astrology experts in order to save their books and mythical practice because the zodiac is moon based per The Babylonians, but what the scientists are saying is that the constellation and earth's axis moved for sure making "alignment" off by 30 or so days. Also, the earth, sun and constellation does not align like it did 3,000 years ago but this you all knew right? You see there is nothing "new" perse that [...]
Banner Designed by Cysquatch Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. This week's question was once again suggested by "Hipsters Out of Metal!" columnist Anso DF, and even though the Grammy nominations were actually announced last week, it still seemed like a [...]
Pure progressive glory, sleaze rock and some uber-clever power metal: sounds like a normal MMM then.
Monster Magnet Mastermind Napalm Records 25 October 2010 by Hugh Platt Nobody can begrudge Monster Magnet's Dave Wyndorf a bit of success. The last decade has been a downward trajectory for the diminutive former king of stoner rock. Since 19982s breakthrough record Powertrip, Wyndorf has had to battle through an addiction to painkillers and then those weight [...]
