At least twice per tour we end up at a strip club. You can’t avoid it. Sometimes you play places like Pop’s in St. Louis where the club is literally in a strip mall full of strip clubs, and everything else in a fifteen mile radius looks like its out of a Mad Max movie. [...]
Daath just completed our first tour for The Concealers album cycle. The tour was with Dragonforce and our personal heroes, Cynic. It was a US Secondary Markets tour. For those of you who sent us angry messages about why we didn’t play your city…. We appreciate that you care and we promise we’ll be there [...]
The cycle begins. I used to not think that I could play and drink onstage. I never ever ever touched drinks or smoked weed before a show. I came from the school of thought that you needed to have your brain fully functional for the show. Well, pre-show jitters would occur. I just would notice [...]
It was a short week, but despite Axl being under the weather and Vince gettin lucky in Kentucky, we still managed to get shit done around the ol' Mansion, even without the help of our favoritest MS Mansion Monkey, Higgins: We're making a list: we give you a hint, another hint and yet another hint. No, [...]
So here I am flying across the Atlantic Ocean again. A few months back I wrote a blog about how much I hate flying and yet here I am doing it again. Press / vacation trip to Paris. I know, I know, such a hard life. But you know what? You guys can eat a [...]
As you know if you read the site yesterday, I'm sick. I have a sinus infection, not, as many of you guessed, swine flu (By the way, good to know you cats are still getting a kick out of swine flu jokes a month after the fact. Anyone have any good OJ Simpson jokes while [...]
Vince is in Kentucky scouting land for a SECOND MetalSucks Mansion and against the advice of Gary Suarez and my own instincts, I'm off to see Terminator Salvation. We shan't be posting Monday 'cause it's Memorial Day, but we'll be back Tuesday. In the meantime, here's some shit that happened this week: We did a video [...]
MetalSucks is proud to announce that we've stolen Daath's Eyal Levi away from our friends at Headbanger's Blog. We did this because we love Eyal, and also to spite Viacom. Eyal will check in with his column, "Jumping Darkness Parade," when he can. We hope you enjoy! Be safe. Travel safe. Drive safe. On and on [...]
Hey hey hey kids. In honor of the fact that it's a) 4/20 and b) just one day before the release of Dååth’s awesome new album, The Concealers (read my review here), we're teaming with the band to give away some special shit that I am now legally obligated to tell you is for tobacco [...]

The first time we spoke to Dååth guitarist Eyal Levi, it was purely about being a Jew. That's all well and good, but now that Dååth are about to release an excellent new album, The Concealers (out April 21 on Century/Roadrunner), it seemed like a mighty good time to actually speak to the dude about, [...]
Quick tip for anyone looking for a good death metal fix: Revolver are hosting a new Dååth track, "Silenced," from the band's excellent forthcoming album, The Concealers. There's also an interview with the band about the track. Here's an excerpt: Which part of it did you come up with first? And what was the inspiration? EYAL LEVI [...]
Dååth guitarist/sexy Jew bastard Eyal Levi will apparently now be doing a regular or semi-regular guest blog for Headbanger's Blog, entitled "Jumping Darkness Parade." For his inaugural column, Eyal has chosen to take a stance that is unexpected coming from a metal head in today's anti-record label climate: he's proclaiming his love for the music [...]
Speaking of Atlanta, here's Dååth's Eyal Levi and Emil Werstler jamming for a segment on FPE-TV. It's a good Tuesday afternoon song to get stoned to... even if you're smoking someplace that isn't Atlanta. You can watch Werstler tear some more shit up here. We've heard Dååth's new album, The Concealers, and it's killer - and [...]
I've never actually caught Daath live (at least not yet), so I don't know how the band handles soloing duties - but I do know that guitarist Eyal Levi is kind of the public face of the band and it's de facto leader, so people may forget that there's another super talented guitarist, Emil Werstler, [...]
