A reader named Charles recently sent us a link to Paste Magazine's list of The Fifty Best Band Logos of All Time (which actually contains a small amount of metal band logos) and commented that he'd love to see MetalSucks' list of The Fifty Best Metal Band Logos of All Time. But that would take a [...]

Nothing makes for great arguing and Internet name-calling quite like a good LIST, and today we've got two excellent ones for you! The L.A. Weekly blog, which has been doing a great job of covering metal of late, has released a "Top Ten Metal Frontmen and Frontwomen Under 30" list, ala the "Top 30 Under [...]

(Photos by Getty Images) Psych! We already did something kinda like that, and we derived endless amusement from watching you all duke it out in the comments over other peoples' opinions. No need to do it again. But Spin Magazine thinks they've got a handle on ranking the 100 Greatest Guitarist of All Time in a [...]

Earlier this week, we told you that we've compiled another list in the tradition of  The Top 25 Modern Metal Guitarists and The 21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century… So Far. Well, today we're gonna give you the first clue as to the subject of the list. Ready? Are you sure? Okay, here's your clue! It's [...]

We've had so much fun with our past lists, like The Top 25 Modern Metal Guitarists and The 21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century... So Far, that we've gone and made another one. We're going to give you some clues as to the subject of this particular list on Friday. For now, we [...]

Damn you, MetalSucks, and your early Top 15 deadlines; I rushed to put that incoherent stream of fanboy drivel together and now, little more than a week later, my list is already obsolete. While it was apparently individualistic and snobby enough to land a cherished spot on Corey Mitchell’s esteemed “MORE ELITIST WRITER HOO-HA” countdown, [...]

We ████ a ████ ████ to █████ ████ ████ at ██████████ , and we ████ ████ us ████ ██████████ █ █████. █████ on the ████████ you ████ █████ ████, I'd say y'all ████ ████ of █████ ██████ too. So ██████████ 's "Top 10 ██████████ █ █████ ██████ of ████" ████ ██████ be █████ up ████ █████. The ████ was [...]

I am a goofy stats and numbers geek and have been ever since I was a kid, starting when I created my own NFL board game using an NFL Strategy football field and hundreds of 1974 Topps Football cards with plays printed on the back. Yesterday, I was reading the comments in the compilation of [...]

We at MetalSucks have dealt with the paradoxes involved with conducting a poll to determine great guitar players (read our 25 Best Modern Metal Guitarists poll here)! So we get that in a unweighted vote, the top-ranked axemen may just represent those liked by the largest number of voters; i.e. a dude who we agree is [...]

2011 was a year. Metal was released. Some of it was great, some was good, some was mediocre, some was bad. No one reads these intros or each album's description anyway, right? You just scroll down to see we name #1 then fire off a stangry comment. I do want to say one thing before [...]

"Blogging isn't writing. It's graffiti with punctuation." -Contaigon Looking over my list once I had completed it, what I came to realize was that Pig Destroyer once again did not release an album this year, those bastards. But the other thing I noticed is that pretty much every album which appears on this list has [...]

Maybe you've had this experience: A recent acquaintance hears that you listen to tons of metal and reacts with surprise. Usually a work friend, this person kinda blinks in disbelief that a cuddly, sweet cupcake like you loves what appears to be violent, negative music. But you explain that though its popular face dons a [...]

Junior & I are presiding over an orgy of opinions, and you're all invited to lube up and slide in.... Just when it seems like life can't get any crazier, inevitably it does and another layer of the shell gets peeled away to reveal a whole new set of criteria for perspective. This year clean [...]

Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month is Decibel. Here’s managing editor Andrew Bonazelli to get in on today’s needless-listing fun… HIPSTERS “Well, someone didn't like Wolves in the Throne Room.” REASONABLE NERDS “Somewhat surprised that neither Batillus nor Hull cracked [...]

I'll just come out and say it: what a shit year, huh? Natural disasters galore (up in my little corner of New England, we had a tornado, earthquake, and late-October Nor'easter that left everyone without power for a week, all in the span of a few months) following a brutal summer that included a “heat [...]

No long-winded descriptions. No waxing poetic over 2011. I know you don't read these things. Potato potato potato. 15. Earth Crisis, Neutralize The Threat (Century Media) In a scene where "reunions" consist of one original member backed by an eager bunch of nobodies and also-rans, Earth Crisis stands out with essentially the same lineup that [...]

Phew! Hopefully, you've been reading my Bleeders' Digests this year to get an idea of what I consider to be the best releases in what has truly been a stellar year for metal. I started this insane venture back in January and have listened to, front to back, 723 metal releases this year! Since we [...]
