Down performs with members of Sepultura, but it's Bower's electric sex appeal that really catches our interest.]]> text/html 2013-01-29T20:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4748997/99-42-heavily-discounted-all-access-badges-for-philip-anselmos-housecore/

Before there were blogs there were these things called magazines, and the only metal magazine we still get excited about reading every month isDecibel.Heres managing editor Andrew Bonazelli Shitheads usually stay shitheadsshort of going to AA and finding God (Dave Mustaine being a notable exception to that premise).

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard the new EP from Down . Guess what? Hugh Platt was less than impressed. Back in January, I wrote a speculative bit of fluff about Down putting out an EP in 2012 , rather than the fully fledged album that their fans have been clamouring for since 20072s Down III - Over The Under . I glibly suggested that Down putting out an EP meant that we'd be getting just the cream of the New Orleans-based supergroup's capabilities, [...]]]> text/html 2012-07-24T17:47:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4407733/down-to-release-one-ep-september-18/
...and I am so fucking stoked! Down's next EP will be simply called One, and it will drop September 18. The band made their plans clear earlier this year for a series of EPs, four to be exact, that will showcase different aspects of the band's sound. One is scheduled to release each upcoming year. ...]]> text/html 2012-06-21T19:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4344432/til-death-do-us-part-metal-hard-rock-musicians/
LARS ULRICH & SKYLAR SATENSTEIN Fun fact: Skylar also dated Matt Damon, and was the basis for the character of the same name in the movie Good Will Hunting.

Jimmy Bower of Down and Eyehategod fame got hitched this past weekend! The lucky lady is Ms. Dana Kieferle, one of the stars of the 2002 horror film Attack of the Cockface Killer, a film praised by at least one critic as "tangible proof that some people... should never be allowed to make a movie [...]]]> text/html 2012-03-07T16:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4114098/downs-jimmy-bower-got-married-over-the-weekend/
Woohoo! Down drummer and Eyehategod guitarist Jimmy Bower married his girlfriend,Dana Kieferle over the weekend in New Orleans, so congratulations are in order. The ceremony was held at Audubon Zoo's swamp exhibit, which explains the mosquito net in the picture. The two flew to Saint Lucia in theCaribbeanfor their honeymoon, because you can do that ...]]> text/html 2012-02-22T15:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4080296/last-days-here-documentary-about-pentagrams-bobby-liebling-looks-enthralling/
Anvil's fifteen minutes was really due solely to the quality of the documentary made about them, and not at all due to their music. Pentagram have already enjoyed a longer shelf life and made superior art (at least in this blogger's opinion) - but I wouldn't be surprised if vocalist Bobby Liebling found himself the [...]]]> text/html 2012-01-31T12:24:18+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4026530/2012-album-preview-down-tbc/
Down Title s TBC Roadrunner Records ETA Summer 2012 What They're Saying Well, it's a bit of a cheat to call this an "album preview" - as what Down have got slated for release in 2012 isn't an album, but the first in a series of four EPs.

Man - MetalSucks photographerMiikka Skaffarihas really outdone himself this time! His photos always kick ass, but these latest shots, of Down performing in San Francisco last week, are a whole other kind of epic, epic, awesome, epic. See that shot above? That's just a small taste of the killerness (killerocity?) of this batch of pics.

Interview with Jimmy Bower about Down... by HecticCase I don't think this news is gonna come as a galloping shock to anyone, but at least now it's official after nearly two months of speculation: Rex Brown will not be returning to Down.

Soilent Green don't play in London very often and the promoter didn't do a great job of telling people about this show. We knew, obvs. Plus Dripback's first gig!]]> text/html 2011-04-21T16:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3388849/eyehategod-live-dvd-review-mvd-visual/


Now into their twenty-third year as a band, veteran sludge metal outfit EYEHATEGOD have just released a 90+ live DVD which contains two complete live shows along with an assortment of bonus tracks. Both shows feature well-recorded, multi-camera footage that capture EYEHATEGOD in all their miscreant glory. The first show was recorded on the band's 2010 tour at the "scum owned and operated" venue Now That's Class in Cleveland. The band plays a lumbering fourteen song set which includes "Dixie Whiskey", "White N*gger" and the set closer "Methamphetamine". This show was obviously filmed by someone [...]]]> text/html 2011-02-21T15:30:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3221313/photos-eyehategod-in-baltimore-february-17-2011/
Eyehategod - one of the filthiest, scummiest, most legitimately and awesomely fucked-up bands to ever walk the earth - played the Sonar in Baltimore, MD last Thursday night, and MetalSucks' own Queen of Photography, Alyssa Lorenzon, was there to capture the madness.

Our friend Amy Sciarretto from Noisecreep reports that Birmingham City University (in England, not Alabama) is naming an award after everyone's favorite heavy metal grandpa: the Ozzy Osbourne Development Award "will be bestowed upon the student that makes the most significant progress on their degree in the Media and Communication/Music Industry degree."

Mike Williams, wasn't just sitting on his arse while Jimmy Bower was off touring with Down -well, except for the time he was in prison.
