Featuring interviews with current and former members of Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden, Mastodon, and more.

Just in time to counter all that Hallmark-induced Valentine's Day love vomit that's been clogging up your airwaves and social feeds for the last week, here's a murky slice of dark minimalism courtesy of local mainstay Jeffrey Bützer . "Little Dark Eyed Love" is the title track from his new EP, which he released this morning via his Bandcamp page. The six-song effort comes packed with an impressive list of guest artists, including the Residents' Molly Harvey who lends some doleful vocals to this song, and Brent Hinds of Mastodon, who sprinkles in a few hints [...]

Oh happy day! If you follow Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds on Instagram, you know that his 2013 wasn't off to a good start when he lost his adorable dog, Dingus. Hinds went into action and posted signs all over his neighborhood and thankfully, the two were reunited today. Hinds celebrated by posting more photos to ...

But what I really wanna talk about is that gun!

Here are a few MP3s of songs from some of the better albums released this week: Andrew Combs – “Worried Man” from Worried Man Dolfish – “I’d Rather Disappear Than Stay the Same” from I’d Rather Disappear Than Stay the...

I've spent a good portion of the afternoon listening to the new West End Motel album, streaming at Paste Magazine and I feel like I need to dim the lights in my office, get a nice rye whiskey, smoke a few and just chill, you know what I mean? The album, Only Time Can Tell, ... The post WEST END MOTEL's New Chill As Fuck Album Streaming (featuring Brent Hinds of MASTODON) appeared first on Metal Injection .

Stream the sleazy, vaudevillian lounge grooves of West End Motel's new albium.

Mastodon's Brent Hinds has recently announced a mini tour with his side project West End Motel, which we've written about before. The tour seems to be staying pretty close to the Eastern seaboard and will run from Vermont all the way down to Georgia and Alabama. The tour will be in support of the band's sophomore release, Only Time ... The post MASTODON's Brent Hinds To Tour With His Side Project WEST END MOTEL appeared first on Metal Injection .

I'm always surprised at the astonishment that many listeners display the first time they hear West End Motel . With Mastodon guitarist-singer Brent Hinds leading the fray, the general assumption is that some form of experimental metal should be screaming out of the speakers, which makes sense to a degree. But it should be evident to any thinking person that a musician of Hinds' caliber, who participates in a band so well noted for their musical ambition and ability to transcend their chosen genre, likely has, you know, some pretty fucking wide-ranging tastes. And so [...]

• WestEndMotel - Burn It Down

We've mentioned West End Hotel on the site before when Brent Hinds went on tour with the band in 2010. Looks like with all the recent downtime Mastodon had, Brent has managed to find enough time to finish an album worth of music with this side project. There is a new track called "Burn It ...

By now, unless you're the sort of narrow-minded girlfriend-less shut-in who actively shies away from any music news not directly related to metal, you've no doubt heard of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's profanity-laden outburst at Clear Channel's iHeartRadio Festival in Las Vegas this past weekend. Call it a meltdown. Call it a temper [...]

When the dudes in Mastodon are not busy being the dudes in Mastodon (which is, like, never) Brent Hinds just can't put that damn guitar down, keeping himself entertained with two side projects, both of which actually pre-date Mastodon: mask-wearing, surf-rockabilly sleazers Fiend Without a Face and creepy Twilight Zone lounge act West End Motel. [...]

Just to quickly recap, Giraffe Tongue Orchestra is highly anticipated side-project from Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds and Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Ben Weinman. They are collaborating with legendary Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery and drummer Jon Theodore, formerly of The Mars Volta. We haven't heard much about this project, since all the members were busy ...

Banner by Cysquatch Welcome to the new MetalSucks Question Of The Week, a (sorta) weekly survey of our staff on a recent hot-button issue that’s rocking our metal planet. Fearless. Controversial. Half-baked. We give it to you straight every Friday afternoon. Okay not that straight. Here’s this week’s topic: Inspired by LA Weekly's list of the top ten [...]

I'm a self-professed whore for ultra-niche reality TV, but I've somehow let The Science Channel's Oddities series, which follows New York City's Obscura Antiques & Oddities shop, pass under my radar... until now. One Mr. Brent Hinds of a little band called Mastodon, a long time patron of the shop, dropped in for a taping of [...]

We've said it before, and we'll say it again - as far as touring line-ups go, the combination of Mastodon, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Red Fang has set the bar for 2012. Given that Mastodon put out the Thrash Hits Album of 2011 , The Dillinger Escape Plan put out the Thrash Hits album of 2010 , and Red Fang are one of our favourite up'n'coming crushers, it's gonna take one heck of a tour to top this. When the tour arrived in Manchester, our man [...]

Earlier this month, Vince wrote about Mastodon's love of Feist, and the apparent desire of both artists to collaborate together in some way; at the time, Feist even claimed that Brent Hinds had expressed interest in covering the song "The Bad in Each Other," from her recent album Metals, while she might cover "Oblivion," from [...]

Before getting through this article on Metal Insider I had to Google who Feist is (she's the one who did that "12343 song that was in the iPod commercials a few years back). I've got a big thing for light, female-fronted pop with a little bit of soul (Sara Bareilles, Alice Smith, Adele, Sia, etc), and [...]

A few weeks ago, Mastodon premiered a "video" for 'Curl Of The Burl', the second track from their astonishing new album, The Hunter. The video was a bit bland - just some visualisation effects laid on some uninspiring footage of a forrest. We didn't really give two hoots at the time, given that we were [...]
