News "Midnight", the new video from the reunited heavy metal band SLEEPY HOLLOW, can be seen below.

News (photo from Oregon Live) As part of our coverage of this year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival – currently winding its way through North America — we're bringing you a series of "Rigged" columns in which several of the tour's musicians take you on piece-by-piece guides of their current live rig setups. Check out the rigs of Machine Head's [...]

News Let's take a look at a band that, amazingly enough, doesn't take itself as seriously as, say, every other band that has originated from the Scandinavian Peninsula. Formed in 2004 by Children of Bodom's Alexi Laiho, Kylähullut was a silly side-project featuring Tonmi Lillman (Ex- To/Die/For) and Vesku Jokinen (Klamydia). I've liked the occasional Bodom song [...]

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

News I haven't a clue how the folks (folk?) at Blot Und Eisen convinced Sigh's Mirai, Faith No More / Mr. Bungle's Trey Spruance, Eyehategod's Michael IX Williams, Agalloch's John Haughm and Ghoul's Digestor to submit to the Rorschach aka "ink blot" tests... but there you have it, and the results are fascinating! The Rorschach Test, for those [...]

News Earlier today, Noisecreep published an interview with Insane Clown Posse's Violent J. (his mommy calls him "Joseph Bruce") regarding this year's Gathering of the Juggalos. And while perusing said interview, I came across the below quote... emphasis at the end is my own: "It's hard to be a Juggalo. It's not cool. We are the [...]

News Welcome to the latest edition of "Freeloader," in which we review albums that you don't have to feel like a douche for downloading for free. Today Satan Rosenbloom checks out Eschaton's An Instrument of Darkness EP. Two thoughts that I had while listening to An Instrument of Darkness, the boss two-song EP by Austrian black metal [...]

News Axl's published his First Half of 2011 list and Corey's published his... my turn! I really do these every year as a way of documenting where my head is mid-year so when December rolls around I can go back and look, not so much as a definitive "Best of the First Half" statement. As [...]

News Gridlink are one of my favorite grind bands that I almost never have an excuse to write about. And part of the reason I never have an excuse to write about them is because they don't really tour; the band's members live in three different locations on two different continents, so it's not like they [...]

News Last week, we got an anonymous e-mail from someone claiming that Salome drummer Aaron Deal had found a sweet new gig: bass player for perennial MetalSucks faves Darkest Hour. And at first we thought this tipster must be mistaken; after all, the band had made no announcement about parting with bassist Paul Burnette, who has [...]

News PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's longtime girlfriend Rita Haney told "Metal Zone" host Nikki Blakk of the San Francisco, California radio station 107.7 The Bone that this year's Dimebash event — in honor of Dimebag — will be held on December 8 at the world-famous Key Club on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California.

News Deciblog scribe Jeanne Fury claims to have seen the above men's bathing suit in a storefront window in Asbury Park, NJ this past weekend. Do we believe her? I'd liken this statement in high fashion to Sergeant D's Burzum clothing line if not for the fact that it came from New Jersey, the arsehole of [...]

News Somehow, it's fucking August already. So the bad news is, I forgot to send in my rent check on time again, and the good news is, we're just a couple of weeks away from the release of Pain is a Warning, the awesome new album from Today is the Day. And - HOO-RAY!!! - the [...]

News I'm going to put about as much effort into this introduction as Courtney Love puts into maintaining the appearance of being sane. First up today we have the video for "Breakdowns Breakdowns Breakdowns," from Bury Your Breakdown. Because original vocalist Mat Breakdown has returned to the fold, some people are calling this "the comeback of [...]

News A little bit of re-branding can go a long way in metal; "power metal" couldn't be any farther out of fashion in the metal climate of 2011, but NWOBHM revival / retro / "trad metal" acts are totally in. Both types of bands play the same Judas Priest and Iron Maiden-inspired riffs; one has slicked [...]

News In case the bad joke in my headline didn't give it away, In Flames have dropped off of the remainder of this year's Mayhem Fest. A statement by the group released over the weekend explains that "a serious terminal illness of one the band's immediate family members" is the cause of the cancellation - which [...]

News "Supergroup" is a rough beat; that tag along seems to generate feelings that the sum will never equal the greatness of all its individual parts combined (see: Audioslave, Chickenfoot, Velvet Revolver, etc etc). But when said supergroup is a [comparatively] underground metal band and will be taking their face-fucking music across the country in a [...]

News Progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER will release their new album, "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", on September 13 via Roadrunner Records.

News Flamboyant Finnish rockers RECKLESS LOVE, who feature in their ranks former CRASHDIET singer Olli Herman, will release their second studio album, "Animal Attraction", on September 26 via Spinefarm Records.

News Swedish all-girl hard rock band CRUCIFIED BARBARA performed acoustic versions of two songs on this morning's (Monday, August 1) edition of the "Nyhetsmorgon" program on Sweden's TV4.
