Artist: Today Is The Day

Rococo Records , a vinyl only label based in Chicago who offer an eclectic selection of limited edition releases, is coming up on their 10th anniversary this year. To celebrate the milestone, they are offering deep discounts on their entire catalog, with proceeds from sale going towards funding an upcoming U.S. Maple 123, a split from Crash Normal & The Dictaphone , and the Chicago(USA) vs Metz(France) compilation, which features bands like Cococoma , Radar Eyes , Thee Verduns , and more! The sale isn't on the label site, [...]

Not too long ago, I went over to Double-Down Saloon to celebrate Frank's birthday with the rest of the crew from Metal Injection and MetalSucks. Amidst the smoke and the booze, there was one obvious question I had to ask everyone: what were some of your favorite records of 2011? Having posted their lists a ...

When we wrote the intro to our Deputy Editor's Top 10 Records last year, we joked that he's a surly so-and-so who doesn't like anything and enjoys nothing. This isn't true. This year, for example, he took a worrying amount of pleasure from the torrent of abuse levelled at him by fans of Five Finger [...]

FEATURING MEMBERS OF GOD FORBID, SKELETONWITCH, CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED, MUNICIPAL WASTE, TODAY IS THE DAY, LANDMINE MARATHON, AND SHAI HULUD Every year year, MetalSucks asks musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in a few cases, the almost-metalsphere) what their favorite albums of the year have been. Death metallers, thrash metallers, [...]

So, uh, hey, did we happen to mention that The Metal Suckfest took place this past weekend at the Gramercy Theatre here in New York? Well... it did! And we had an awesome time. Twenty incredible bands all kicked our asses and shredded our reproductive organs; we are truly exhausted, and can't wait to do [...]

The Metal Suckfest is this weekend!!! And in case you're not familiar with, or are somehow not sold on, the twenty incredible bands we've booked to play THE party of the year, we have scoured YouTube for recent live footage of ALL the artists playing the fest... so you can have a little taste of [...]

E - Part Four of L.O.V.E Wooohooo! Happy November 1st everyone! Today is the day when the L.O.V.E saga has become complete! "E - Part Four of L.O.V.E" is now available on iTunes , Amazon and all the other places where you like to buy good music! I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me fund this EP and all the other EPs in the L.O.V.E saga. It's been a great experience and I could never have guessed that I [...]

Steve Austin is the best kind of metal institution: someone who's stuck it out for over two decades through multiple musical climates in a unflagging pursuit of one very specific muse. His long-standing musical concern, Today Is The Day (of which he's the founder, chief visionary, and only original member) is at once artistically fixed and constantly evolving. Their bilious mystical tirades thrash about in the murk that sits at the base of spiritual enlightenment, occasionally managing to wipe the dreck away long enough for glimpses of holy light. For all their diversity, I can't say that their artistic trajectory [...]

The Inaugural Metal Suckfest is almost here!!!! Twenty bands will DESTROY The Gramercy Theatre on November 4 and 5, PLUS there's an awesome, five-band pre-party at the venue the night before, making this THE can't-miss hang of the year. Tickets are on sale now right here, and you can hit up the fest's official website for more info on [...]

Last year (and the year before) I got way too busy with this thing called life and missed out on a lot of quality music. I am here to rectify the error of my ways, month by month. Sorry for the delay. Been extra busy writing books, covering film festivals for Bloody Disgusting, and watching zee [...]

Mastodon The Hunter Roadrunner Records 26 September 2011 by Hugh Platt The Hunter is simultaneously Mastodon's easiest record to throw yourself into, but perversely the hardest to pin down. Eschewing the concept-album framing-device the band have used since 2004, it shrugs off any attempts by reviewers to cling to any sense of ongoing narrative, or [...]

That's right! Tickets for The Metal Suckfest - the two day festival with a line-up so ridiculously awesome we can't believe we actually put this thing together - are ON SALE RIGHT NOW. You can buy tickets to Day 1 (November 4) or Day 2 (November 5) individually for thirty bucks a pop - that's [...]

Our friends over at Metalsucks are throwing a pretty rad two-day rager that they're calling the Metal Suckfest, two days, twenty bands, and a lot of booze. The party happens on November 5th and 6th at the Gramercy in NYC. The first day will feature Municipal Waste, God Forbid, Today is the Day, Howl, Black ...

Click to enlarge the ridiculously sweet poster art by Rodney Githens from Vertebrae 33 and Metal Band Art When we first announced The Metal Suckfest, we promised you that it was NOT just a bunch of tours already-in-progress, routed so that they all converge for one event. That it was NOT just bands that all sound alike [...]

via Badass Reading the comments under our announcement of The Metal Suckfest has been a lot of fun - mostly because the predictions regarding which other bands will be on the bill have been so very, very wrong. Hopefully we'll get to announce a few more bands next week, but in the meantime, you cats [...]

Getting back into the flow of things this week we have a good number of new releases to listen to as we head out of the summer release season. New stuff from Yob, Chimaira, Revocation and Today Is The Day are probably the biggest releases this week, with some lesser-known gems in the herd as [...]

Today really IS the day! After four long years, Today is the Day having an awesome new album, Pain is Warning, is out as of right now via Black Market Activities (read our own glowing review here). And we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to debut one more song from the [...]

Today is the Day's new album, Pain is a Warning, comes out on Tuesday, and all of the reasons you're going to buy it are contained within our own Sammy O'Hagar's review. Here's a sample of that review: "Pain is a Warning is filled with fucking cock rock. AC/DC riffs, fiery solos, twangy ZZ Top chorus [...]
