Featuring members of Soilwork, Revocation, Abysmal Dawn, Bison B.C., Pathology, Broken Hope, Howl, Flourishing, Continents, Dehuman, and Infected Society.
Earlier this summer, guitarist/vocalist Charles Elliott of Abysmal Dawn and Bereft fame appeared on the Death To All Tour, which was meant to raise awareness for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, a charity organization that "provides financial assistance to all types of career musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or [...]
Say, is that Paul Masvidal wearing a "Metal Suckfest" t-shirt? Why yes, yes it is! “Memories are all that's left behind As I lay and wait to die Little do they know That I hear their choice of life” -Death, “Pull the Plug” Who is Chuck Schuldiner? Can we ever know? So many of us [...]
The incredibly awesome Death to All Tour, which reunited surviving Death members Paul Masvidal (above), Shannon Hamm, Bobby Koelble, Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Steve DiGiorgio, and Scott Clendenin to raise awareness for Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, kicked off this past Friday night in San Francisco. And MetalSucks' intrepid photographer, Miikka Skaffari, was there to capture the action - along [...]
Yesterday it was announced that the Dallas stop of the upcoming Death to All Tour has been postponed; now the trek's organizers have announced that the Atlanta show has also been put on hold. Not shocking news, given that both of these shows were in danger of being cancelled due to low advance ticket sales, but I [...]
An anonymous reader just forwarded us the below e-mail from Ticketmaster (click to enlarge), announcing that the July 3 date of the Death to All Tour in Dallas, Texas has been "postponed": Although you may recall that both the Dallas and Atlanta stops of the tour were in danger of being cancelled due to low advance [...]
POOP. Sean Reinert, the tenth best drummer in modern metal, has ruptured his Achilles' tendon while practicing for the upcoming Death to All Tour. That obviously SUCKS A MAJOR ONE, but the good news is that Reinert is unfuckwithable, and is going to play the tour in some capacity anyway. Here's a statement from the man himself: [...]
I find this both hard to believe and incredibly depressing, but it's true - the Dallas, Texas and Atlanta, Georgia dates of this summer's Death to All Tour are in danger of being cancelled due to low advance ticket sales. This is the tour, in case you've somehow forgotten, that will reunited seven former members [...]
OH MY FUCKING LORD, the Death to All Tour somehow just got even more awesome. In case seeing a bunch of old Death tunes being performed by former members of that band (including Paul Masvidal, Shannon Hamm, Bobby Koelble, Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Steve DiGiorgio, and Scott Clendenin) while being fronted by Obscura’s Steffen Kummerer and Abysmal Dawn's [...]
If you are either a) sad that this summer's Death to All Tour was only coming to five cities, none of which were anywhere near you, or b) an Atheist, then have I got some news for you. Yeah it's actually all there in the headline. Atheist have been added to the last three dates [...]
You'd think the organizers of the Death to All Tour would feel sufficiently satsified bringing together seven former members of Death (that would be Paul Masvidal, Shannon Hamm, Bobby Koelble,Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Steve DiGiorgio, and Scott Clendenin) and two top-notch guest vocalists (Obscura’s Steffen Kummerer and Abysmal Dawn’s Charles Elliott) to help raise awareness for the Sweet Relief Musicians [...]
Holy shit, this tour just keeps better and better! Following the announcement earlier this week that Abysmal Dawn's Charles Elliott would be the "first" vocalist on this June's Death to All Tour, Obscura's Steffen Kummerer has now been added to the line-up as well. Kummerer and Elliott will join Death alum Paul Masvidal, Shannon Hamm, Bobby [...]
Last week brought the announcement of the Death to All Tour, on which surviving members of the legendary Death — specifically guitarists Paul Masvidal, Shannon Hamm, and Bobby Koelble, drummers Gene Hoglan and Sean Reinert, and bassists Steve DiGiorgio and Scott Clendenin — will perform to raise awareness for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund , a charity that “provides financial assistance to [...]
We've been following Bereft withextreme excitement since they first announced their formation, under the name "Bewilderbiest," back in May of last year. Really, how could we NOT be stoked on the mere idea the group? The members' resumés read like a list of "Bands MetalSucks Thinks are Friggin' Sweet": any project featuring Sacha Dunable (Intronaut/Graviton/MetalSuc ks columnist), Charles Elliott [...]
FEATURING MEMBERS OF GWAR, DARKEST HOUR, REVOCATION, INTRONAUT, ABYSMAL DAWN, BRUTAL TRUTH, THE ATLAS MOTH, AND IKILLYA Every year year, MetalSucks asks musicians from across the vast spectrum of the metalsphere (or, in a few cases, the almost-metalsphere) what their favorite albums of the year have been. Death metallers, thrash metallers, black metallers, stoners, grinders, and djenters [...]
Yep, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. So we're leaving the MetalSucks Mansion now. We'll be back Monday, at which point we'll make it up to you with some very special posts... honest Injun! 'Til then, here's some shit we did this week: We spoke to The Brothers Duplantier from Gojira about their new album, signing with Roadrunner [...]
Abysmal Dawn are currently touring North American with ze Germans in Obscura, along with Last Chance to Reason and Enfold Darkness on select dates. We figured it would be a good time to ask Abysmal Dawn guitarist/vocalist Charles Elliott to take us through his entire live rig, so that's exactly what we did. After the [...]
We got all hot n' bothered back in May, when Derek Rydquist (ex-The Faceless), Sacha Dunable (Intronaut/Graviton/MetalSucks columnist), Charles Elliott (Abysmal Dawn), and Derek Donley (National Sunday Law/Graviton) announced the formation of a new project, Bewilderbiest. But now we're even MORE hot n' bothered to learn that not only has the band changed their name to a less schticky [...]
There is no news this year I have been as happy to report as this. All of the bands on this summer's Conquer & Curse tour - Goatwhore, Abysmal Dawn, Daath, Abigail Williams and SWWAATS (I'm way too lazy to type out their full name, even if I could have totally typed out their [...]
