Oh hi there, metal people of awesomeness! It’s Tuesday, so the MetalSucks team again welcomes you to Shit That Comes Out Today, your weekly round-up of heavy, hard, and heardvy new releases! Now look, we won’t bullshit you here: Our jam is the best. We don’t just fart out a black-and-white list of records for you ohmyno. That is boring. Here on STCOT, you get cover art. You get links to listenables. You get info, insight, context, and even some subtext. (But no pretext.) And cuz we truly care, our dates are quadruple-verified by a costly independent review board. Fuck yeah!

So now that we’re all on the same page — publishing joke lol — let’s get to the new jamz, from killer debuts (Mutilation Rites, Royal Thunder) to a spritely EP (Havok) to lid-fluttering scorchers (Emptiness, Six Feet Under) to a return-to-form ace from Saint Vitus (their first in 17 years!) and like a million more. Hope you get paid this week.

Happy New Release Tuesday everybody! Today’s Shit That Comes Out Today profiles three new releases familiar enough to get into immediately; another trio of this week’s jamz are more dynamic and stretch genre boundaries to their breaking point. Thrilling, right? Shit yeah! So peep them. Feel them. Go inside them. Repeat. You’ll be happy you did. Click to read more…

Hey metalheads! Your summer playlist is about to get bigger, better, and sweatier. Yep, the hot season grows ever-nearer in this week’s Shit That Comes Out Today, which recaps, recommends, and replays pool-flip worthy new rippers from Storm Corrosion, Cattle Decapitation, Moonspell, and lots more. Shit’s getting hotter every week, so just grab a sixer, crank that stereo, and strip down to near-nothing! Hey look Jill Janus from Huntress has a head start!

When you’re scraping coins from the pool of dried soda in your car and filching fives from your mom’s purse, it’s justifiable: You’re a new music zombie, forever dragging your limbs near and far in search of the freshest, br00talist new jamz. This week’s Shit That Comes Out Today shall slake your thirst for hot metal blood — Castle, Wild Hunt, Litrosis, Skyharbor and other new classics guarantee that — but you can also exhume yesterday’s corpses, classics returned from the abyss (Peasant, Electrocution) or gussied up with some cologne and bandages (Thin Lizzy, Mekong Delta). Crack open some skulls and feast! Um figuratively of course!

It may seem early to mention it, but Summer is just around the corner. As the weather gets warmer, I envision days spent near a large body of water, tallboy in hand, and inches away from absurdly large speakers rocking tasty jams. You feel me! And this week’s Shit That Comes Out Today adds plenty to your high-temperature/low-clothing playlist: swamp sludge from 16, an epic new Paradise Lost record, a surprisingly refreshing new Struck By Lightning LP, and Woods of Ypres’s posthumous final release, among others. Check ‘em out after the jump!

The theme of this week’s STCOT is borrowed from a sign at my favorite Korean restaurant: TRY IT YOU LIKE IT! Yes, free-thinking metalheads, be not afraid of this week’s exotic heavy new releases: An exciting reissue from Darkthrone comes with a commentary disc, like some black metal Shark Night 3-D blu-ray; Aeges delivers aggression and hooks in equal parts; Primal Rock Rebellion shows that a band’s name isn’t representative of their awesomeness; and Ufomammut drop the classic first half of a double album. Grab your chopsticks and start shoveling after the jump.

Gorge thyself on tasty new shit from Ancestors, Job For A Cowboy, Mpire Of Evil, and more more more after the jump!

This week’s skyscraping pile of awesome new heavy shit requires two shovels, so I woke Senior Editor Anso DF from his post-weekend coma to help me scoop-and-toss all this hot, stinky metal into your ears and eyes. You’ll thank us. Just plug your nose and dive deep into a double-load of Shit That Comes Out Today right after the jump.

I owe some hearty thanks to Anso DF for rocking last week’s Shit That Comes Out Today for me after my computer went down. But today I’m back so let’s just put that behind us. Way behind us. Today’s hot new hard and heavy new releases come from Unsane, Rise And Fall, a Coliseum/Black Cross side project, and lots more.  Check it out after the ol’ page jump.

Welcome to Metal March, cherished MetalSucks readers! It’s a sweet time for us, as parking restrictions are relaxed, winter loosens its deathgrip on our sanity, and we shrug off our layers of oppressive clothing. That means our rage instead goes more into productive, liberating acts like bedroom moshing and driver-seat headbanging, air guitars in our showers and Ihsahn-roars into our toothbrushes.

So check out March’s first hard and heavy releases for your face! (And then get caught up on last week’s Oprah-load of new stuff here!)

Winter is usually fairly slow for releases, but it’s not even March and a bunch of cool stuff has already dropped. This week, we update you and your wallet on the second chapter of Earth’s double album, new jams from Orange Goblin, and excellent records from Pilgrim, Goatwhore, and Iron Mask.

This week brings less than a ton of new metal, but it does mark the unveiling of a tasty upgrade to MetalSucks’ beloved Shit That Comes Out Today column. The new format makes it easy to preview tracks and peep cover art, but that’s not all: In the new STCOT, we boldly list a few similar projects (y’know, for context) and recklessly recommend which new records might deserve priority in your new record-buying plans (in case your budget doesn’t accomodate all the hot new shit). So, like it? Hate it? Check out this week’s shit then give us your input in the comments.

First, a little backstory. Back in 2006, Darkest Hour was making the promotional rounds for their latest disc, Undoing Ruin. I was working for my shitty college paper, doing a show preview for DH’s show in Omaha, Nebraska and emailed Kris requesting an interview. He called me five minutes after I sent the email. That’s how cool of a guy he is.

Besides being one hell of a nice dude, Kris is an extremely talented musician, and his new project, A Cancerous Affair, has completed their lineup and is starting to produce what will most definitely be some killer tunes.  Check out my interview with Kris below.

Records by Alcest, Bleeding Through, Liberteer and Riotgod top this week’s slate of new releases. Oh, and we suppose Metallica have a “new” record out too. Those and more after the break.

Just because this week isn’t as awesome as last week doesn’t mean we don’t have some cool new shit coming out. New releases from Lamb Of God, Lacuna Coil, Dodecahedron, Aborted, Primal Fear and more in this week’s wrap-up after the jump.

I was surprised at the amount of quality releases that come out today before I set out to write this column since it’s still only the third week in January. New music from The Devil’s Blood, a ton of power metal releases AND Al Jourgensen’s long-anticipated excursion into country… this is a good fucking week. Click to read more…

So it’s been a few weeks since I’ve put out a column, and in that time I missed one item worth mentioning. Let’s take a look at that release and this week’s new records after the jump.
