2011 was a weird year for metal. On one hand, any metal band with some sort of "artistic" element was embraced and pumped up by indie rock media, which lead to a lot of deserving bands and labels getting some well-earned garnered acclaim and maybe even some money, but for the rest of us lifers. it kind of felt like a lot of fireworks for not a lot of delivery. As a 31-year-old recovering hardcore
Gonna be a heavy-ass weekend in Columbus. Start off with with the sludgy/stoner/'70s-rock Saviours at Ace of Cups on Saturday night (w/ Ramming Speed, Charlie Hustle, and Yeti) and follow it up with the triple, head-bashing triple bill of The Sword , Black Cobra and Mount Carmel at Outland on Liberty on Sunday. Both of these shows are the ONLY Ohio shows on these individual tour itineraries. Take that Cleveland and Cincinnati! The Sword's 2010 [...]
Saviours & Punishers ft. Sean Price by Gods'Illa
Even though I had heard their recordings, I had never seen Ramming Speed live before they performed at The Metal Suckfest a couple of weeks ago; I am now twice as enamored of them as I already was. I wish there was some way I could actually share the feeling their set gave me via [...]

By The Swizard (CA) Saviours are Oakland's favorite sons. Like many upcoming O-Town metal bands, they stood in the shadow of High On Fire early in their career, but really broke out as a local force to be reckoned with around the time they released Into Abbadon in 2008. However, Oakland is not the world. While they have no shortage of fans outside of the Bay Area, a lot of people who seemed
The team agrees: the new Saviours LP is total goddamn aces. Here's the vid for "Crete'n", dig in mother fuckers.

(Weedeater) This one is going to be quick and dirty because I'm heading out soon for some Hopscotch day parties. Weedeater and Bison BC were both killer on Tuesday night at Kings, but I have to say Saviours pretty much owned the evening for me. I also bought their brand new CD, "Death's Procession," and have been listening to it non-stop. See more photos . (Saviours) [...]

Maybe they were smoking more pot during the recording of this, instead of going for the adrenaline rush of amphetamines that usually infuses their work. Regardless of what they were taking, Death's Procession is another fine slab of metal from a perpetually underrated
Chthonic, Monstro and Saviours have the big metal releases of the week. Let's take a look at those and a couple of others after the jump. An Early Ending – Igniter (CI) After streaming the preview track – also called "Igniter" – from AEE's Facebook page, I really struggled with what to say. There's not [...]
Tra svacco, mare e magnate, poco tempo da dedicare a suoni nuovi e quel poco, tipo i due pezzi nuovi dei Saviours non mi hanno fatto cadere dalla sedia. I Radio Moscow tornano a farsi sentire con un nuovo album in uscita a Ottobre e un pezzo in preview , No Time, roba fica e pissssichedelica
MetalSucks is nothing if not diverse in our taste in metal, so much so that it's not uncommon to see comments calling us hipster douchebags and mainstream panderers in the very same post. Hey, we can't help it if we enjoy all sorts of metal. We also enjoy chicken, red meat, vegetables, fruit AND seafood: [...]
if this song below is any indication of what Craig Finn, lead singer/songwriter of the Hold Steady's solo album is going to sound like, you can count me in. i mean, i'm already invested, cause i'm an HS fan, but this is pretty darn sweet - and honestly - had no idea to what to expect. video below, link to interview with Finn via P4K below that. via Pitchfork
