Time to make the noxious cloud of information smog even thicker! At least I'm telling you about awesome music you should be listening to, instead of giving you false empowerment through hackneyed optimistic sayings or trying to co-opt you into a political movement by saying you are JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. Or worse yet, using the internet to complain about how metal was better back in the 80s and

Music is an intensely personal form of art - for both those who create and those who take the time to appreciate. Music is often reflective of time periods within life. I feel that this list represents a very significant change in my life within the last year: the disappearance of time. My list last year had records that I enjoyed on a very deep level. I spent a lot of time listening to

If you live in one of the surrounding areas that The Atlas Moth and Batillius plan to play on their tour kicking off in a few weeks, you may notice some extra reverberation because both bands are SO FUCKING LOUD when they play. You will also notice some sick tones. So basically, I'm saying you ...

photo by Scott Irvine Admittedly, I am not the resident doom expert at MetalSucks, but for my money, the genre is not having a terrific year. To wit: I have heard two doom releases which really knocked my beard off: Rwake's Rest, and Batillus' Furnace (my review here). I've spoken plenty about the former in the past [...]

It seems like we're getting a ridiculous amount of good new music today, doesn't it? It's almost overwhelming. It's also pretty much, like, the best problem to have ever. So. Next up on the docket is "Beyond the Lightless Sky," the title track for the new album from Brooklyn's own Hull. And, yeah, it's fucking [...]

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. Here are the releases from the first half of the year 2011 that I missed for whatever reason [...]

Photo by Scott Irvine Last week, we were only too happy to learn that one of our most favoritest doom bands on the planet, Batillus, have a new split 7″ with Mutilation Rites coming out July 12; now the two bands have announced a tour together, which will kick off just days before said split's [...]

I somehow missed the news that Batillus have a split 73 with Mutilation Rites coming out next month; I thought their album Furnace, which is one my favorites of the year so far (read my review here), was all we was gettin' from the doom crew in 2011. But I was wrong! And gloriously so, [...]

Offering outsiders a look at some of what's going on in one of the louder corners of the Brooklyn, practice-space cohorts (and soon-to-be tourmates) Batillus and Mutilation Rites are appearing on a split 73 out next month via hometown label Shinebox. (That's Batillus's cover art above, you'll find Mutilation Rites's below.) The record offers a nice mix of extreme styles: The Batillus quartet's heavy-as-fuck industrialized doom Vs. Mutilation Rites' satanic black metal howling. For their excellent offering, "Cast," Batillus are joined by frontman Fade Kainer's partner (and one of extreme metal's best vocalists) Kat Katz (Agoraphobic Nosebleed, ex- [...]

Lurching entreaties to rage and windswept howls of purging catharsis are two of the many pleasures offered up by Brooklyn bootstrappers Batillus. With a diminutive back catalog of EP's and a new record simultaneously released through micro-indies Seventh Rule (North America/UK), Vendetta (Europe) and Bandcamp (digital), will Furnace gain the exposure necessary to break the ...

Telegrafico. Nuovo disco dei Batillus "Furnace" in streaming qui . Monumentali. Non mi deludono mai, pure con la voce.

If I might, I'd like to examine a very specific section from the song "Deadweight," which appears on Furnace, the new release from Batillus. The section in question begins at roughly the 4:14 mark, when vocalist Fade Kainer commands us to "FALL ON YOUR KNEES!" with enough force that no one would blame listeners if they [...]

This is your penis: This is your penis on Batillus' Furnace: Any questions? (four out of five horns) -AR Batillus' Furnace is out now on Seventh Rule. You can order a CD or vinyl copy here or name your price to download it here. Your penis will thank you.

This week was juicy in terms of live shows to attend, I wanted to go to many, but have yet to clone myself and my jet propulsion unit is still at the shop. I cheated a bit, by having a band on the Fun Machine , to be able to provide you, the listener with some tracks aside from these pix, so here's a quick rundown!! Sunday March 27th, I caught Thin Lizzy at the Starland Ballroom. Brian Downey, Scott Gorham and Darren Wharton, all from the Lynott era were joined onstage by Marco Mendoza, Vivian Campbell [...]

Welcome to "Question of the Week," a (sometimes) weekly debate amongst the MetalSucks staff regarding a recent hot button issue. This week's query was suggested by reader Yevgeniy Reznichenko: IS ELITISM IN METAL A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING? The MS staff's answers after the jump. Seriously? You're talking to the dude who regularly [...]

Batillus at Broken Neck Brigade, all photos by Carmelo EspanolaCrustcake, represented by the intrepid Andrew Wilhelm and Van Damned, spent four days in Austin, Texas, at South By Southwest, one of the world's largest, film, interactive and music festivals. Between the two, they saw 49 bands, ate four tacos, two gyros, one bratwurst, and drank 26 beers, two whiskey and cokes and exactly one shot

I'm trying a new approach for this post. For multi-band events, my posts tend to be very very long, and the time it takes to do seems to make the effort moot, because they publish so far after the fact. So here are photos of some of the bands I took in at SXSW: bad vantage points are why some bands didn't make the cut. Here it is chronologically! Below: 1/2 of Italy's The Secret, Keith Morris of Off! , Easy Action [...]
