Last night, the so called "Big Four" of the '80s thrash-metal boom - that'd be Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax - came together at Yankee Stadium to play only their second-ever U.S. show together, following the one they played in California a few months back. And during Metallica's encore, members of all four bands, as well as '80s peers Exodus, joined each other onstage to cover Motörhead's fast-growl classic " Overkill ." A ton of videos of the performance are floating around on YouTube, but all of them sadly look and sound like ass. The best one that we could [...]

Metal's Big Four - Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, and Lou Reed's new BFFs - played their second-ever U.S. show last night at Yankee Stadium in New York City. Past performances concluded with all four outfits appearing together on stage for one epic collaborative send-off, and last night was no different. Below, check out footage of the Big Four covering Motörhead's 1979 classic, "Overkill". Stay tuned for our complete coverage of this year's Big Four performance at Yankees Stadium, which should be up shortly.

Anthrax Worship Music Nuclear Blast 12 September 2011 by Amit Sharma It's been a long time coming, but after an eight-year wait, and two years of frontman-deliberation, Anthrax are finally back with their tenth studio album, Worship Music. Originally intended to be their first album with their eighth and short-lived vocalist, Dan Nelson, and then for some time following his [...]

To help promote their upcoming tour, on October 11 Judas Priest will release The Chosen Few, their umpteenth career retrospective, and one which does not feature any new material. The Chosen Few does have a hook, though - I mean, beyond the fact that the band members appear on the cover only as silhouettes, I [...]

Earlier this evening Anthrax held a release party for their new album, Worship Music, which is in stores. A few hours before the official show was to happen, they held a special Metal Masters clinic. During the clinic, Frankie Bello, Charlie Benante, David Ellefson and Mike Portnoy all played some music, gave some advice and ...

My own fragile sense of mortality means that I'm still adjusting to the fact that the original bands from the New Wave of American Heavy Metal - commonly mislabeled as "metalcore" - are now hovering somewhere around their tenth year of existence. As I Lay Dying are the latest band to hit the one decade [...]

Hear The Track HereFrom the progressive rock of Thielus Grenon to the progressive metal of Weylin's Slayer Orchestra means that prog is the taste that will remain in the mouth after this months reviews. Ewwwwww indeed. It's a good job that both of these musicians deliver their brand of venom (ooops, sorry I mean prog) with much more attention to detail than most other proggies, even though I

Spurred by a lazy crossword clue in The Onion (36 down, four letters: "Faith No More's only hit"), MetalSucks contribu tor Anso DF dedicated every single day in August to celebration and exploration of the San Francisco alt-metal greats. Here we proved that history's greatest band landed more than one commercial hit (crossword answer: "Epic" natch), we revelled in FNM's [...]

Slayer now sell condoms in their webstore - "For when you're going South of Heaven." Seriously. They come in packs of three or six; a three pack of Durex condoms with no Slayer logo on it will run you about two bucks, so, of course, a three pack of Durex condoms with a Slayer logo [...]

I sort of can't believe this is real. Slayer have begun selling condoms on their webstore. The site describes the item as such "For when you're going South of Heaven! Each Slayer Custom Condom "matchbook" holds 1 Durex latex condom. Available as a 3-pack or 6-pack." It'll set you back $12.99, and unlike the recent ...
