I only heard Funeral For A Friend's music cuz years ago some wise-guy listening station tricked me into granting an audience to their fancy debut album. I screwed up cuz my attention was devoted to picking gross hairs off these gnarly public headphones and to unkinking their fucked-up cord, and I thought I'd pressed the [...]
News Riccardo of Juice TV's "The Metal Bar" conducted an interview with Corey Beaulieu and Matt Heafy of Florida metallers TRIVIUM before the band's May 2, 2011 concert in Auckland, New Zealand as part of the Australian/New Zealand leg of the "Music As A Weapon" tour with DISTURBED, AS I LAY DYING and FORGIVEN RIVAL.
When the line-up for this year's Mayhem Fest was announced last week, we were told that more bands would eventually be announced. Not to sound like gloating pricks or anything, but we here at MetalSucks already knew that Trivium were gonna be on the bill, even if their involvement hadn't been made public yet. Well, [...]
See what I did there? ANYWAY, I'm sitting here listening to said new DevilDriver song (which is available for download here for the low low cost of giving up your e-mail address' cherry) for the second time now, my thought is basically this: it's a good song, and I wonder if anyone besides the DevilDriver [...]
In the first installment of "OLD BANDS U MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT", I shared a bunch of old bands that I like. Instead of coming up with a new description, I will just reuse the old one: When I am not trolling simple-minded, entry-level elitists, I enjoy the soothing, dulcet tones of some classic thrash [...]
These are some of my favorite producers and mixers for heavy music... It's a challenging genre, and these guys are great in my opinion. Jacob Hansen: Fear My Thoughts and The Hours That Remain by Mercenary, great drums and great frequency range, there's a 250 dip in the overall mix that's really well done. Colin Richardson: Evangelion [...]
So what was your entre into the world where denim, leather n' demonology reign supreme? Where you adore the goat and sway to the symphony of deee-struction? Every man (or woman) has a tale to tell. Here's mine. You're gonna hear a lot of names you might be unfamiliar with, especially if you're a member [...]
You can really tell that Nergal loves his job. During our thirty minute conversation, the Behemoth frontman's enthusiasm bordered on breathlessness when discussing Evangelion, the band's ninth, and best, album. He was hopeful when subtly inciting wilder behavior from Behemoth audiences and deferential when praised. It would pollute the eye to indicate more than the [...]
I can't speak for the other inhabitants of the MS Mansion (especially Kip, who's been cuddled away in the Wingerschmidt Wing for weeks now), but I, for one, am very much enjoying the new Behemoth record Evangelion. This shit slays, crushes, destroys, kills, insert your choice metal cliche adjective here and that's what it does. [...]
Floridian extreme metallers Order Of Ennead might be a side project but with an album in the can, they're already making waves. We spoke to bassist, Scott Patrick (Resurrection) and guitarist, Kevin Quirion (Council Of The Fallen). What was your highlight of 2008? S: Getting Order Of Ennead up and running. K: It was a great year. We signed to Earache in May, recorded our debut at Audio Hammer in June. We [...]
