THE INAUGURAL METAL SUCKFEST: LINEUP REVEALED!

When we first announced The Metal Suckfest, we promised you that it was NOT just a bunch of tours already-in-progress, routed so that they all converge for one event. That it was NOT just bands that all sound alike and one would normally expect to find on the same bill. That it would be a wholly unique concert in which some truly incredible artists are coming together JUST to play THIS ONE SINGLE EVENT.

And now you know — we weren’t lying.

We are SO PROUD to announce the line-up for the inaugural Metal Suckfest, which will take place November 4 and November 5 at The Gramercy Theatre in Manhattan. As you can see, the bands range from thrash to death to grind to prog to noise rock to NWOAHM to stoner to we don’t even know what you call it, but they all have one thing in common — they are all fucking awesome, and they are all 110% MetalSucks approved. This fest is gonna be so great, we keep having to pinch ourselves to make sure it’s real.

Tickets go on sale Friday at LiveNation.com at 10 am. 12 noon. We’ll be announcing the final four bands on the bill shortly, but trust us — you don’t wanna wait to get your ticket.

Here’s the rest of the line-up:

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4
Municipal Waste
God Forbid
Today is the Day
This is Hell
Howl
Black Tusk
Magrudergrind
All Pigs Must Die
Ramming Speed
Prime Evil

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5
Cynic
Obscura
The Red Chord
3
A Life Once Lost
Scale the Summit
Last Chance to Reason
Fight Amp
Rosetta
Ultrageist

-Vince, Axl, and Everyone at MetalSucks

    Gotta give you props guys… that is an awesome lineup. Howl, Black Tusk, Cynic, Scale the Summit, and Rosetta? Fucking great. Wish I could go, but New Mexico is a bit away.

    I mean its not a terrible lineup but def not worth buying a ticket to.  Ultrageist and Obscura are the only two bands I would be excited to see.  Good for Metalsucks to even host an event though.  I hope it does well

    Interesting, diverse lineups on both days.  Nothing that blows me away, but I’m sure I’d be entertained either day.  I’m really amazed and curious how Ultrageist made the bill.  I’m from Long Island so I have seen these guys live – and they are pretty interesting – but they certainly aren’t in the league of any of the other bands on the bill for either day.
