Last week, we posted video of Lamb of God's Randy Blythe rehearsing with Cannabis Corpse, who he was going to front for the memorial show in honor of late GWAR guitarist Cory Smoot; that show took place this past Saturday, so now, of course, we have video of the actual performance. Here's the entire set... ...and here's [...]
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 [...]
GWAR lead singer Dave Brockie has released a statement regarding the passing of guitarist Cory Smoot, aka Flattus Maximus. Below is the entire statement: "After a restless night spent hurtling through the desolate Canadian wilderness, I crawled from my bunk on the tour bus to face reality, grudgingly aware that the the dark dream that gripped us...

Well this is a shitty way to end the working week - Cory Smoot, who has played guitar in GWAR as Flattus Maximus (pictured above) since 2002, was found deceased on the band's tourbus yesterday morning as the band crossed over the US/Canada border. He was just 34 years old, and at the time of writing [...]
Click Here To Watch The Video When I was fifteen years old, I had to sneak out of my parents' house on a Friday night to go see GWAR and the Misfits play a Halloween show. Then I had to conceal my clothing from my parents, seeing as it was, y'know, soaked in blood, urine, [...]
It was a weekend of big changes at the quarterback position all around the league, and Sunday's games gave the first good indication of what the rest of the season might be like for the unfortunate teams that are still struggling for consistency at what is undoubtedly the most important position on the field. Picking [...]
Friendly reminder: as of RIGHT THIS SECOND, the legendary Richard Christy from Death, Iced Earth, Control Denied, and, oh yeah, The Howard Stern Show, is at the MetalSucks/Vertebrae 33 booth at New York Comic Con signing copies of Charred Walls of the Damned's ridiculously rocking new album, Cold Winds on Timeless Days, which is out NOW on [...]
The passing of Apple visionary Steve Jobs is not nearly as maddening as the Casey Anthony verdict (let's get cereal for a moment: it's actually incredibly sad), but the responses of the metal community via Twitter are just as lulzy! So, in the spirit of our own Anso DF's Casey Anthony verdict vs. the metal [...]
Oderus Urungus, the vocal frontman for GWAR, will soon be appearing on FEARnet's first original series Holliston. The show will feature Oderus, who will be playing himself, as an imaginary friend of one of the main characters who gives him all sorts of fucked up advice. The six episode series, which will feature Twisted Sister frontman ...
That's right… he's back! Oderus Urungus, the greatest singer in the history of what this putrid, worthless planet calls "metal," is back and ready to answer your questions for another round of"Ask Oderus!!!" So leave your query for Lord Urungus in the comments section below. Oderus will pick his favorites and answer them right here on [...]
Word on that street is that longtime correspondent Oderus Urungus of Gwar was recently dismissed from Fox News Red Eye without any explanation. My working theory: Urungus discovered that Rupert Murdoch was hacking the Cuttlefish of Cthulhu's cell phone and Fox sent his ass packing as a precautionary measure against cumming boatloads on the television [...]
1) Be nicer to Sebastian Bach 2) Compare penis sizes with Tommy Lee 3) Hire Phil LaBonte as a vocal coach 4) Hire Billy Milano as a personal trainer 5) Hire Tripp Eisen as a baby sitter 6) Sleep with present-day Tawny Kitaen 7) Help Danzig clean up his motherfucking bricks, bitch 8) Listen to [...]
We've got a bumper load of GWAR photos from Download Festival because our photographer Gary Wolstenholme got COVERED in red paint. It's only fair.
Oderus Urungus has taken the unprecedented step of pledging sex with anyone who votes for GWAR to win the 2011 Revolver Golden Gods award for Best Live Performance. GWAR is up against industry mega-weights like Rammstein, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Megadeth and Sevendust. "Our show is reality...we don't know what you mean by live performanc...

So as it turns out, Periphery have a rather sizable online following. Hm. Who knew? ANYWAY, here's how we amused ourselves this week: We debuted new music by the aforementioned Periphery, as well as Meek is Murder. Gwar's Oderus Urungus answered some more reader questions, and we spoke to Fredrik Andersson from Amon Amarth. We [...]
Greetings human filth, it is I, Oderus… no need for all the formal greetings that would normally be required for you. After all we have done this several times before. And with each successful snooze-fest (which is what answering your questions amounts to) I swore I would never again waste my time answering your asinine [...]

...we shot some behind the scenes video! This video was shot moments after Oderus/Dave Brockie entered the Metal Injection studios and right as we came back for the third hour of our extended episode 101. If you still haven't heard the episode, I highly suggest you check it out, if only for the final hour ...
I am, of course, totally kidding. Gwar clearly would not fit with with the Fox News pundit, 'cause what he does is far too fantasy-based for their particular brand of entertainment. ANYWAY, I mention it 'cause you might remember that last week we posted a video of GWAR killing a Sarah Palin stand-in as part [...]
One of the best parts of any Gwar show is seeing which celebrities/public figures the band is going to "kill" on-stage. And I don't know if they were offing Alaska's most infamous maverick on a nightly basis on their most recent tour, or if this is something they did special for the people of Detroit [...]
