One of the organizing principles of this site, to my mind, is that the way music interacts with our lives is important and that we short-change the power of music by always talking about it abstractly, without some reference to the general social context and/or the individual subjective setting. The way we think and feel about music is important. To this end, I'm going to attempt a weekly feature about the music in my life over the past week. Starting now. Since I've been in the process of packing and thinking about how I [...]

The Soilwork and Haunted tours are both MetalSucks co-sponsored, so [...]
by theseseans (NYC) Assassins getting released on vinyl was big news for us crustcake dudes. As soon as I found out that it was not only being released on vinyl, but as a double colored vinyl gatefold release I emailed gerf immediately to bring him the joy I had just found. Fittingly this review is more about the physical product, but just in case over the past year you disregarded our
That's right, the elusive Pentagram have confirmed a one-off date at New York City's Webster Hall on March 6th, 2009. Tickets are already on sale and, at $20, well worth it.

Ever gone to the fridge and, for whatever reason, ended up making yourself a sandwich consisting of several seemingly incompatible food stuffs that, once combined, managed to still somehow end up being totally delicious? C'mon, you know you've done it/ Maybe it was the middle of the night and you were tired or maybe you [...]

I finished this list a month ago. Well, I mean the records, the order, all that. But already I've discovered so many more records that I totally love! I love the end of the year, and best-of lists, they are great ways to find new music. With that in mind I hope that you enjoy my list and maybe give something new a chance! 10~ Fucked Up The Chemistry Of Common Life [Amazon] (Matador) The
What a fantastic year for music, particularly heavy music. Not that it's all about competition, but in my eyes there were at least three legitimate contenders for the top spot-- any one of my top three (see below) could have potentially taken the gold. Let's get down to business... 10~ Withered Folie Circulaire [Amazon] [iTunes] (Prosthetic) As David Bee Roth put it, Withered are "more like
There's been a lot of good music this year, probably because there has been a lot to complain about. Damnit! Thinking of this list just reminded me of how much shit I haven't checked out yet and how much shit is about to come out next year. Gonna be a tough one to beat. This is what I got for '08. 10~ Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes [Amazon] [iTunes] (Sub Pop) Ok... sorry I had to do this but shit,
Founding member of psychedelic, extreme metallers Nachtmystium , Blake Judd talks about his plans to nail nuns and his year of getting nailed by pesky coppers near the Grand Canyon. Fucking pigs! What was your highlight of 2008? Touring with Boris and Torche in North America. Great trip, great people, great shows. Couldn't ask for more. What's the worst thing that happened [...]
by theseseans (NYC) This weekend has some awesome shows coming up. First up is Saturday at Death By Audio in Williamsburg with Rosetta, Junius, Moving Mountains, Tombs, and Batillus. I am super stoked for this show, basically to see Tombs, but also Batillus are probably the only instrumental doom band that I would ever make the effort to go see. Sunday night at Public Assembly in Williamsburg

A month or so ago Opeth came to New York's Nokia Theater as part of an awesome (and diverse) package with High on Fire and Nachtmystium. It was one of those nights; a Monday or Tuesday, I was fucking exhausted from having traveled cross-country the night before, partied too many nights in a row, just [...]
After unexpectedly dropping off last month's Opeth/High On Fire tour, psychedelic black metallers Nachtmystium are gearing up for a short U.S. tour with Portland's elusive Wolves in the Throne Room. Those lucky enough to dwell within driving distance of this tour owe it to themselves to make the trek and see for themselves why these [...]
