Happy New Release Tuesday everybody! Today's Shit That Comes Out Today profiles three new releases familiar enough to get into immediately; another trio of this week's jamz are more dynamic and stretch genre boundaries to their breaking point. Thrilling, right? Shit yeah! So peep them. Feel them. Go inside them. Repeat. You'll be happy you [...]
I'm totally blown away by Cyclone Temple's I Hate Therefore I Am, a sparkling thrash metal masterpiece from 1991. Powered by mega-riffist Greg Fulton (above, second from left) and two of his former Znöwhite bandmates, I Hate was ripped like a steroid-amped Anthrax and equally as impressive for its presciently personal lyrics. In fact, when we [...]
Infectious Grooves - "Feed The Monkey" Sorry, woke up this morning and the first thing on TV was "Encino Man" and this song just crushes it at the film's end.

By the early 80s the Sex Pistol's Anarchy In The UK seemed a million miles away for us bored middle class Californian teens. Politics was personal, and whether it was out of sheer convenience or self centered angst we our wanted anarchy here; In the suburbs, at the mall and curbside next to our skateboards. So if ever there was an anthem for 'Hey Mom/Dad, stay the %$#@ out of my room!' it's this one; Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies . But today in Versions Bizzaro-land the indignant [...]

Suicidal Tendencies will be playing a handful of shows in California this May and June. Strife will be supporting them on this run.

Also, Torche, Red Fang and Kyng.
Metallica made big headlines last month when they announced Orion Music + More, a two-day outdoor festival happening in Atlantic City, NJ this June featuring 22 bands, with both nights headlined by Metallica playing special retro album sets. MetalSucks just received a press release announcing the "Damage Inc. Stage," featuring "punk and thrash music." Suicidal [...]
One of the big critiques of Metallica when they announced this two day festival in Atlantic City, happening June 23rd and 24th, was that there was not enough metal on the event. The Four Horsemen have heeded your call. Today, they announced that the Orion Music and More festival will have an additional stage for ...
(photo credit: Loren Scott Photography) Given how much we love Animals as Leaders here at MetalSucks it's kinda hard to believe that we've never formally interviewed band mastermind and founder Tosin Abasi, but there you have it - until now. Abasi, who was ranked #2 by MetalSucks on last year's Top Modern Metal Guitarists list, is [...]
Few things get me more excited than a track by Sleigh Bells . When Treats came out in 2010, I was blown away by the depth of sound I was experiencing. Sleigh Bells is for people that listen to Suicidal Tendencies , but also love the subtle qualities of Wilson Phillips . In fact, Sleigh Bells is more or less the love child of thrash metal, and early 90s power pop. I love speed metal drums. I love heavily amped and distorted guitars. I love how Alexis Krauss has absolutely, positively no respect for modern [...]

It seems like it's been for-ev-er (really, just a year) since T.R.A.M. announced they will be putting out an album. The group, of course, features Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes of Animals as Leaders, Adrian Terrazas formerly of The Mars Volta and Eric Moore of Suicidal Tendencies. It's not so much metal, but moreso jazz/experimental, but Tosin Abasi can basically ...
Derek Roddy and Eric Moore are two very accomplished drummers. Roddy is known for his work with Nile, Hate Eternal and many other projects and Moore is an accomplished gospel/jazz drummer who also moonlights as the touring drummer for Suicidal Tendencies as well as the TRAM with Tosin Abasi. These two had a drum-off recently ...
A reader named Thomas sent us an e-mail last night asserting that Puddle of Mudd's 2001 hit, "She Hates Me," is a rip-off of Suicidal Tendencies' "I Saw Your Mommy" - and while we obviously can't prove that PoM deliberately stole from ST, the songs certainly do sound awfully alike. Of course, the Tendencies tune [...]

Hello Waveriders! Lately, I have been really hard on music. By this I mean, it has been hard for me to find something I could listen to over and over and not get tired of it. It's been a while since I have been excited about a traditional punk band. When I say traditional punk, I'm talking about old-school hardcore punk. Bands in the vain of Bad Brains, Black Flag, MDC, Suicidal Tendencies or Minor Threat . Bands that meant something and were not just making punk music to profit off it. The band [...]

We hear a lot of "mental" and "ill" tracks here, but the recent Magical Bass releases have led us to worrying a bit about the psychological well-being of the artists. From DJ 0.000001's 19-minute long remix of Freebird to Th' Mole's On The Couch podcast (documenting an actual meeting with a psychiatrist), to this latest release, a troubled albeit entertaining picture is being pieced together. The free maxi-single for DJ 0.000001's cover of the classic Suicidal Tendencies track "Institutionalized" seems to be in response to [...]
Mike "Cyko Miko" Muir, lo storico frontman dei Suicidal Tendencies, ha pubblicato sul canale YouTube della band il brano All The Way , estratto dal suo nuovo album solista intitolato The Mad Mad Muir Musical Tour . Ve lo riproponiamo in apertura. The Mad Mad Muir Musical Tour è il terzo album solista del cantante, che è sempre riuscito senza alcun problema a far convivere i suoi progetti personali con quelli della sua band. Che ne pensate? Suicidal Tendencies: ascolta il nuovo brano [...]
Happy birthday, Reign in Blood! We love you. You don't sound a day over one. Here's some other things that happened this week which are worth celebrating: We started the countdown to The Metal Suckfest. We debuted new music by Immolation and a new video by Early Graves. Devin Townsend and Textures' Jochem Jacobs and Bart Hennephof took [...]
In all the discussion of thrash metal's first big bands, too little airtime is given to the great Suicidal Tendencies. Launched by a teenaged Mike Muir in Los Angeles, Suicidal took root in punk and hardcore, landed an early MTV hit in the manic, careening "Institutionalized," and attracted the ire of authorities via rumored gang [...]
