Stand down, posers! Our proteges over at The Number of the Blog and Heavy Blog is Heavy have teamed up to topple the mighty corporate goliath that is MetalSucks by compiling a giant list: The 100 Best Albums of the 002s. Don't they know that any attempt at defining the best metal in the 21st [...]

A Hollywood shrink recently told The New Yorker that procrastination is "spurious form of immortality," because it is "the ego's way of claiming that it has all the time in the world." So I guess that the good folks at Noisecreep are living in the now, man, 'cause the year isn't even 25% over yet, [...]

We love having a good list to argue about here at MetalSucks (heck, we're working on a new one ourselves right now... duh-duh-duhhhhh!!!), and today we have blessed with two of 'em. So enjoy reading these over, and then come back here and rip each new other assholes about 'em: Gibson - yes, the guitar [...]

I hope you've been following Metal Injection's incredibly funny (and shamelessly insensitive) Black Metal History Month - there's been a ton of great shit, all of which you can catch up with by going here. The latest reasons to get stoked on this brilliant, brilliant idea comes in the form of two awesome lists: "Top [...]

If you consider yourself a geek (as I do) and you're not reading Topless Robot, you're really missing out. Proprietor Rob Bricken covers all things nerd on a daily basis, ranging from comics to movies and television to video games to toys, and he is one funny motherfucker; even when I don't agree with his [...]

MetalSucks' own "Grim" Kim, as photographed by Samantha Marble Congrats are in order for MetalSucks columnist Sergeant D. and contributor "Grim" Kim Kelly - each of them wrote a piece which made NPR's list of 20102s Best Writing About Metal! Kim got the nod for her terrific article "Metal Etiquette: A Ladies' Guide to Concert-Going," [...]

FEATURING MEMBERS OF DRAGONFORCE, A LIFE ONCE LOST, ALL SHALL PERISH, CANCER BATS, THE ACCUSED, AIRBOURNE, ABSU, WOE, WHILE SHE SLEEPS, DIAMOND PLATE, MALEFICE, AND MUTANT SUPREMACY For 2010, we decided to do something special as part of our regular end-of-year festivities here at MetalSucks — namely, ask musicians from across the vast spectrum of [...]

FEATURING MEMBERS OF KYLESA, DARKTHRONE, BRUTAL TRUTH, KATAKLYSM, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD, TEXTURES, SWASHBUCKLE, THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE, DISFIGURING THE GODDESS, BURNING THE MASSES, CHRISTIAN MISTRESS, MISERY, AND GRIFTEGARD For 2010, we decided to do something special as part of our regular end-of-year festivities here at MetalSucks — namely, ask musicians from across the vast [...]

So last year I predicted that whatever Pig Destroyer put out would be the best album of 2010, and then Pig Destroyer decided I should go fuck myself and didn't release anything this year. Thanks, fellas. So selfish. Oh, well. It was still a really good year for metal - in fact, I keep hearing [...]

No one reads these intro paragraphs, right? You just skip to the list to look at our choices, definitely don't read the descriptions we've written for each choice, and most of you just scroll down to see what's been named #1. Well, wait until you see what my #1 pick for 2010 is. Cries of [...]

Funny that both of my parents are Leos but I end up being the lion.....ROOOAAAR. It's your creepy Uncle Wingerschmidt, back once again to make you feel uncomfortable in all the right ways... What a year huh? We laughed, we cried, we ate, we drank, we fucked, we rocked, we rolled, we smoked, we toked... [...]

FEATURING MEMBERS OF GOD FORBID, AT THE GATES, DISFEAR, MACHINE HEAD, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, THE OCEAN, JUCIFER, THE BINARY CODE, HULL, DYSRHYTHMIA, INDIAN, AND DARKEST ERA For 2010, we decided to do something special as part of our regular end-of-year festivities here at MetalSucks - namely, ask musicians from across the vast spectrum of [...]

15. Forbidden, Omega Wave (Nuclear Blast) From one angle, it appears that the reactivation of long-dormant and underachieving thrash acts like Forbidden is a welcome trickle-down from Big Four hoopla. But after a few riveted listens to Omega Wave, one has to fight the sensation that this time around, the big guys are hogging the spotlight [...]

2010 has been one hell of a year for yours truly. I got the opportunity to interview several of my musical heroes, including Jello Biafra, Buzz Osbourne, and Mike Patton. In my capacity as MetalSucks' Official Hardcore Correspondent, I brought the fucking mosh this year and kept you abreast of the goings-on, happenings, and arglebargle [...]

In 2008, my #1 album of the year was Nachtmystium's Assassins: Black Meddle Part 1, a record of experimental bits still deeply rooted in the band's particular brand of black metal. I'll still throw it on every now and again, and it still sounds pretty damn exciting, sax solos and all (take that, Blackjazz!). But [...]

FEATURING MEMBERS OF INTRONAUT, DARKEST HOUR, THE RED CHORD, KYLESA, GORGOROTH, CORMORANT, RETURN TO EARTH, KRIEG, LAZARUS A.D., HAIL OF BULLETS, AND BLOODHORSE For 2010, we decided to do something special as part of our regular end-of-year festivities here at MetalSucks - namely, ask musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in [...]

1. Ludicra, The Tenant (Profound Lore) While I've been impressed with every record that Ludrica has released, none of them was so evocative as The Tenant. Maybe it's because for the first time, the band has forged a black metal that feels rooted in a reality I can understand - there are no forest rituals, [...]

I actually really hate making best of lists. If it’s something stupid or silly like the "Top Five Best Bathrooms" I’ve ever used (in ascending order: Harrods in London, Beyti restaurant in Istanbul, Park Hotel in Japan, any and all bathrooms affiliated with the Oberoi Hotels, and my own back home that I don’t have [...]

1. Gypsyhawk, Patience and Perseverance (Creator-Destructor) I've listened to this band a ridiculous amount of times. Like, "Oh, last song... watch should I put on next? Well, let's just hit play again!"-style. Amazing musicianship, solid songwriting, and beyond hummable melodies (right after this solo!) make for an amazing debut. 2. Kylesa, Spiral Shadow (Season of [...]
