Our friend Carlos Ramirez has posted a list at NoiseCreep of the "Top 10 New School Thrash Bands." There are some really sweet bands on this list - Municipal Waste, Skeletonwitch, Warbringer, and Merciless Death all made the list - but I imagine many of you will be pissed by some of the exclusions (Lazarus [...]

Crossing an ocean and more than a few international borders in pursuit of the almighty riff has taken up a bit more time than I'd expected, but after a European metal-induced hiatus of sorts, Grim Kim is back to spread the good word about the best bands you've never heard of. I've settled into a [...]

The pureblood thrash of Warpath has already won them the top spot of Terrorizer Magazine 's latest annual readers' poll. That's a mark of a band destined for Future Hits right there - and vocalist/rhythm guitarist Richard Goss, and lead guitarist Pete Hawthorne, both agree. From: Cardiff, UK Sounds like: Megadeth, Testment, fours guys who take absolutely no shit from anyone. Website: www.MySpace.com/WarpathUK Thrash Hits verdict: [...]

This Field Report is a little unusual in that it's not so much based on catching a live performance, but more focused on a little musical adventure that I had while spending some time on the East Coast. Much like the record buying trip that Racer and I had in March, this trip to New York was more about what kind of odd ball and nifty nuggets I could come across. That's not to say that there isn't going to be a report on some live music . . . trust me, there's live music in the future. I did [...]

Are we really half way through 2009 already? Apparently so. Feeling confused about the six months just gone, and the six left to go? Thrash Hits is here to guide you - well, through the next four weeks, at least. Events For those of you lucky enought to live alongside Thrash Hits in London town, tonight sees the launch of Someone's Yelling Fire , a new punk/hardcore/metal/screamo/em o night at the recently-reopened [...]

I had the opportunity to talk with with Dave Witte (drums) and Land Phil (bass) when they were in town earlier this month to promote Municipal Waste's forthcoming disc Massive Aggressive. The new disc comes out on August 25th on Earache Records and the band calls it the " most ferocious and most focused album of their career. " In advance of the CD release, the band is heading off to Europe for a run of July/August dates and then they will be returning home for a tour [...]

But at least now you all get to see how pretty I am. -AR RELATED POSTS: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH AS I LAY DYING GUITARIST NICK HIPA GOD FORBID'S DOC COYLE SPEAKS WITH METALSUCKS "ON THE RECORD" (WHATEVER THAT MEANS)!

"YOU'VE GOT THE WRONG ANSWER!!!" I can't wait to shout those words the next time I see Municipal Waste (or, if you're hip, just "The Waste") live. They come from "Wrong Answer," an awesome new track the band is currently streaming on their MySpace page. The track comes from Massive Aggressive, the band's new record that will [...]

The Sunday Metal Minute is back for another week, and yet again the underground metal mainstream has failed to provide me with any new media that I'm anxious to post (..I'm holding out on a Municipal Waste post until we either get some more tracks to leak or see a music video..), so I've decided to dig back into the Mind Inversion vaults. Without the albums released by this week's pick, Starkweather , metal as we know it likely would not exist. Though they are still relatively unknown to this day, early releases by Starkeweather [...]

A bunch of dudes from a bunch of bands joined forces to form No Friends. One of those rad dudes is Tony Foresta, singer of Municipal Waste. Brooklyn Ski Club fucking loves Municipal Waste so check this shit out immediately.I'm listening to it right now and it is exactly what it claims to be - old school hardcore punk! Very much in the style of Gorilla Biscuits and later Minor Threat. There's a

I saw Municipal Waste live on that Lamb of God tour last month, and I have a whole new level of respect for these dudes. The band's latest, Massive Aggressive, comes out August 25 on Earache, and I, for one, am pretty friggin' excited. Check out the artwork below... it's so metal I could tie it [...]

My final interview at last month's New England Metal and Hardcore Festival in Worcester, MA was with As I Lay Dying guitarist Nick Hipa. I'd met Nick earlier in the day at an industry hang at which he told me he was a huge fan of the site. We instantly hit it off, so by [...]

At this point in the annals of MetalSucks history, an official interview with God Forbid is weird. Interviewing Doc Coyle "on the record" is kind of like interviewing your mom about her performance as your mother; like, are you truly getting the full skinny? But God Forbid are like family to us, and Doc was [...]

The legendary SUFFOCATION have posted a new track, Cataclysmic Purification, on their MySpace page. No emo/clean vocals on this shit, just straight up American death fucking metal. MUNICIPAL WASTE and TRAP THEM, will be playing a free show in Los Angeles at The Knitting Factory on June 10th. Click here to RSVP. Roadrunner Records has signed [...]

Last night Lamb of God played a sold-out show at The Pageant -- with openers As I Lay Dying, Children of Bodom, Municipal Waste and God Forbid -- as part of its "head-spinningly awesome package tour."... Continue reading "Photos: Lamb of God at the Pageant, Plus 20 Amazing Metal Shirts" >

Hey Planet Earth! My name is Justina and I take pictures of bands. I suck at writing but every once in a while Rob makes me write about my wacky experiences on tour. At the moment, I'm not on tour, but this weekend definitely felt like it was longer than most of the tours I've done. [...]

The songs of London trio Invasion might be short, but they definitely ain't sweet - wizard robes and monster riffs, delivered in sub-two minute psyche-rock nuggets. We put guitarist, Marek Steven, through the Future Hits treatment. How did you meet? Myself and our drummer Zel were already playing some of the same tunes together with a different singer from early 2006. She was good singer but 'difficult', and when she moved to New York we played a couple of instrumental shows to see what [...]

At the Metal Injection Blog Factory, we are all preparing for our road trip to Worcester for the annual NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL. And by preparing, I mean doing mediocre research to interview bands and downloading old school hip hop to blast at 3am to piss of Rob and Frank. Oh, and getting [...]

When I see people who can play Guitar Hero at expert and get really good scores, it kind of irritates me.
