COMPLETELY UNREADABLE BAND LOGO OF THE WEEK RETURNS! WIN A METALSUCKS T-SHIRT!!!
WE’RE BACK, BABY!!! Sorry to have been away so long. I wish I had a good excuse, but really, I’m just an asshole. But I’m going to make it up to you, baby – Daddy’s gonna make it right – by giving one lucky winner a free MetalSucks shirt – the design of ...

THE AUSTERITY PROGRAM’S JUSTIN FOLEY RESPONDS TO THAT “ELOQUENT” VILLAGE VOICE WRITER
From time to time in the past we’ve exchanged e-mails with The Austerity Program’s Justin Foley, and the dude’s e-mails were so goddamn funny (not to mention smart) that we finally asked him to write for us. Hopefully Justin’s contributions to MetalSucks will become a ...

THE FINAL AT ALL COST SHOWS ARE NIGH
At All Cost may have broken up last year, but there ain’t no sex quite like break-up sex; the Austin, TX quintet will play two final “farewell” shows in their hometown and in Houston just a couple of weeks from now, offering fans of the band a chance to say a final goodbye. AAC ...

DARKTHRONE’S FENRIZ: THE METALSUCKS INTERVIEW
When one thinks of black metal OGs Darkthrone, most likely, the image of a gangly guy with a candelabra comes to mind, and with it, black metal’s trappings and faults. But, like true originators, the band molded the style they helped create to their liking, moving from the raw mist of tremolo ...

BTBAM ARE LIKE THE PHISH OF METAL
Maybe I smoked one too many spliffs laced with Old Bay (Adella Place Summer ‘97 what what), but very early during my second listen-through of Between the Buried and Me’s new album The Great Misdirect, I couldn’t help but make the comparison to that old jam band who used to dork ...

NO(W) TOMORROW: THE RETURN OF THE CROWN
Though it was no surprise, The Crown’s 2004 break-up stung horribly not just for the loss of a classic and criminally underrated band, but the loss of one so obviously built to last. I think some bands succeed on pure propulsion, with great songs piled neck deep; within that class, the elite ...

CRUSTCAKE STARTED A PODCAST!
Crustcake, one of our favorite metal sites that isn’t this one, has started a podcast. In addition to host/Crustcake regular The WZA’d, the inaugural edition features the great Cosmo Lee and Jess Blumensheid. I was invited to be a guest and couldn’t participate this week due to ...

ALL MY MIKE PATTONS
Here’s something about you probably don’t care to know: I used to work in the non-music side of showbidness. During that time, I had a professional relationship with the New York theater actor, Jeffrey Carlson. I remember when Jeffrey got a gig on the soap opera All My Children ...

RANDOM THOUGHTS ABOUT THE DIMEBAG TRIBUTE ALBUM
It’s hard to believe that Dime has been gone for five years, but December 8 will be the anniversary of one of metal’s bleakest moments. To cash-in on commemorate the event, Metal Hammer have enlisted a bunch of well-known acts to record Pantera covers (but not Damageplan covers, ...

REGARDING DECIBEL’S 100 GREATEST METAL ALBUMS OF THE DECADE (AND LISTS IN GENERAL)
Here’s what I don’t understand about all these lists: why they make people so very angry. When we set out to make our 21 Best Albums of the 21st Century (So Far) list earlier this year, we pretty much knew from the outset that it would be unsatisfactory. For one thing, there were ...

H.I.M. ARE HEARTKILLERS
Though we don’t necessary want to make out with Ville Valo on an oversized coach at the W in Los Angeles, Axl and I do both share an affinity for the lovelorn pop-metal of Finland’s H.I.M. You might claim that H.I.M. are gay and not metal, but then you’d be a) an idiot, b) a ...

OUR ALEXI LAIHO IMPERSONATION CONTEST WINNER
At long last, we’ve chosen a winner for our Alexi Laiho impersonation contest. There were a lot of really funny entries, but sadly most of them were disqualified for being outside the U.S. (read the rules, people!). Andrew N. from New City, NY emerged victorious, and will soon be the proud ...

STOP YER WHININ’, HERE’S SOME SHIT ABOUT DARK TRANQUILLITY
Based on the e-mails we’ve gotten today, it would seem that a lot of you are frickin’ CRANKY that we’ve made no mention of the fact that Dark Tranquillity are working on a new album, Into the Void. So here’s part 1 of their in-the-studio video series. The album will be ...

A METAL BAND THAT’S NAMED AFTER AN R. KELLY TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET CHARACTER?
Not quite, but that’s the first thought that popped into my head when the MetalSucks reader known simply as “J” sent us a link to the San Diego-based Chon. While Chon might not have the style, grace or charisma of the aforementioned Twan, they’ve got all sorts of wicked ...

THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD UNVEIL THEIR “MANIFEST”
I’ve been worried about the fate of Through the Eyes of the Dead for some time now; they’ve gone through a butt load of line-up changes since the release of their last album, 2007’s killer Malice, including the loss of vocalist Nate Johnson, who I personally thought was a vast ...

VILLAGE VOICE WRITER ELOQUENTLY DISSES TORCHE, MASTODON, BARONESS AND PELICAN IN ONE FELL SWOOP
Now I’m not saying I agree with all, most, or even any of the points made in Stewert Voegtlin’s recent bitter-tastic Village Voice article (aptly entitled “Sketchy Metal”), but holy jeez a voice of dissension should be appreciated, welcome, and even necessary at times, ...

APPLE STILL TRYING TO MILK $$$ OUT OF WHAT’S LEFT OF THE RECORD-BUYING PUBLIC
Our broheims at Metal Insider alerted us to the fact that Apple has a new extortion scheme product called iTunes LP and Extras, which basically amounts to charging money for a product that’s typically free on a band’s website (videos, lyrics, liner notes, etc). Apparently LP and ...
