ANOTHER TEASE FOR OUR NEW ARGUMENT-INDUCING LIST!!!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010 at 4:00pm by

Oh boy oh boy! It’s almost time for us to unveil the next list which will give many of you a coronary. The last time we did a list, we got Zilty out of it; who knows what evils this one will summon forth from the shadows? Here are some more teases…

  • It is not, as one reader suggested, a “cutest boys” list… although maybe we’ll do that in the spring.
  • It is a list of bands, not albums.
  • The subject matter is MetalSucksian in nature; which is to say, if you’re hoping for a Plain Jane list in the vein of “Best Live Bands” or “Worst Bands” or whatever, it ain’t gonna happen.
  • The bands on the list could very well be both flattered and offended to have been selected.
  • Only one of the bands on this list was also on our “21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century So Far” list. And like we said, it isn’t Mastodon.
  • Heaven & Hell aren’t on the list, although their name might suggest that they would be.

Alright, keep on guessin’. We’ll let you know what this puppy is all about real soon…

-Axl, Vince, and Everyone at MetalSucks

    Glad to see Strapping Young Lad will be on the list.

    Top 10 most contradictory band names
    Top 10 bands with Dio in it
    Top 10 non-christian, yet biblically inspired band names. (Lamb of God, Behemoth, etc.)

    • Mike2

      I was thinking about top 10 non christian, yet biblical names, but it can’t really insult the band…

      Maybe most contradictory… Cannibal Corpse!

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kasper-Maigaard/1027001938 Kasper Maigaard

        Hmm, no I guess it’s hard to make that an insult, unless the relation was unintentional. I have no examples.

  • Tortiss

    Top 10 misleading bandnames?
    The most angsty metal bands?
    The 10 most bipolar albums?
    SRSLY I DONT KNOW WHAT THE LIST

  • LOSETOREFUSE

    Top Ten Christian Metal Bands?

  • Romaould the Loquacious

    Well, since Mastodon isn’t in this list, I guess we can rule out a Best Beards in Metal list. lol

    • Ian P

      It also rules out Best Bands Named After Prehistoric Pachyderms

  • Ziltoid

    Something Jew or pot-related.

    • Isaac

      Perhaps both.

      • EdSW

        A list of Jewcore bands?

  • bearbomb

    Ima guess it has something to do with pigeonholing bands into a particular genre. Nothing’s more MetalSucksian than that.

  • Gaia

    Top ten bands that haven’t reached their peak / we expect more from

    • Andy Synn

      My thoughts exactly.

      Perhaps with more of a slant of “awesome bands who have missed their chance at the big time”, as that could be seen both as complimentary and slightly insulting.

  • Erik

    top 10 bands ever

    1. Opeth
    2. Opeth
    3. Opeth
    4. Opeth
    5. Opeth
    6. Opeth
    7. Opeth
    8. Opeth
    9. Opeth
    10. Opeth

  • Ian

    Top 10 bands Metalsucks bloggers want to get gangbanged by

    • sluga

      Win!

  • Jules

    i think its a 10 best metal bands, that you might not consider metal. IE Pelican

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Kasper-Maigaard/1027001938 Kasper Maigaard

      Then why would Heaven and Hell sound like a band on the list?

  • Cryzthormagnusian

    I got it.

    It’s a “Top 10 Shit Ideas You Threw At the Wall To See If They’d Stick.”

    Among them would have to be that lame Rich Hallford, or whatever his name was, sex advice column and also the new “Dumb ass Pornstar tells us shit we don’t care about” column.

    • Dysenteric

      You took the words right out of my mouth, Cryz. A +1 to you.

      Well, fingers, really, since this is the Internet, but you get the idea.

  • Tonberry

    Does a list really merit all of this hype?

    • EdSW

      of course! Its a list of the top 10 most hyped lists.

  • cxj

    i like top 10 bipolar bands….as in bands that got better or worse through the evolution of their careers/discography; the whole ‘heaven and hell’ clue is a tough one.

  • SourDeez

    Corniest and therefore most metal band names.

  • George K III

    Maybe it is a “Bands That Changed The Most Over Their Career” type deal. Since Heaven and Hell are opposites, it could be like…they statred as Heaven, and then turned to Hell.

    Either that or, more likely, most contridictory band names, as many have suggested.

  • lkgf09

    top 10 bands who spawned a whole subgenre of metal e.g. Killswitch engage or at the gates

  • Dysenteric

    Whatever this list is, it had better be worth this hype you’re heaping on it. If you want to put it on any thicker, I’ll send you a trowel; unlike your good selves, I can actually afford the shipping charges.

    • EdSW

      this. I’d be willing to pay the shipping charges if I won tbh.

  • Johnny

    10 Albums youd expect to hear upon entering Heaven or Hell

    • Johnny

      err I mean 10 bands

    • Johnny

      err I mean 10 bands

  • Connor

    top 10 bands to listen to high?
