MetalSucks is jizz-in-our-pants excited to announce that we’re co-sponsoring this fall’s nationwide tour with Job for a Cowboy, Hate Eternal, All Shall Perish, Animosity, and Annotations of an Autopsy. Now, if any two of these bands were touring together, it would already be worth the price of admission and then some – but with all five bands, it’s THE can’t-miss extreme metal tour of the season.

Job for a Cowboy. All Shall Perish. Animosity. Annotations of an Autopsy. These bands are the future of death metal. And then there’s Erik Fucking Rutan’s Hate Fucking Eternal. The Elder Statesman. The Fucking Man Himself.

Get excited about this one, boys and girls. It’s gonna melt your face off.

Get a complete list of tour dates after the jump, and stay tuned to MetalSucks for more info as we get it…

We’ve now heard All Shall Perish’s latest, Awaken the Dreamers, in its entirety, and all we can say is – it’s different. The band has introduced a lot more melodic elements and made an album that, while still heavy, is a far cry from the unbridled brutality of Hate.Malice.Revenge and The Price of Existence. The resulting material took a few spins to grow on me, but at least one of you has already e-mailed us to express severe disappointment in the record.

The album doesn’t officially drop ’til September, so whether the band’s fans ultimately embrace the new aural flavors or declare All Shall Perish the new Cryptopsy remains to be seen. So while you’re waiting, head over to the band’s MySpace page to hear two more new tracks from the album, “When Life Meant More…” and “Stabbing to Purge Dissimulation.”

Things were a tad slow at the MetalSucks Mansion this week, whatwith a lot of the U.S. still on holiday — but between bong rips and acid trips we somehow still found time to post about some events that went on this week:

• David Lee Roth got pulled over for speeding as he was trying to rush to the hospital for an alleged allergic reaction to nuts; or did he?
• Thousands of dental hygienically challenged guys with mullets are running around Oklahoma wearing Ratt and Ozzy concert shirts from a quarter century ago are at the 2nd annual Rocklahoma festival.
• At the Gates returned to the U.S.
• Act like a Viking, win some cool Amon Amarth stuff!
• Tweeny pop band Gym Class Heroes covered Lamb of God, igniting almost as much controversy as Fall Out Boy covering Pantera.
• Opeth and Amon Amarth announced two amazing U.S. tour lineups.
• All Shall Perish released two new songs from their forthcoming album.
• Ozzy Osbourne decided to toss that last remaining shred of credibility out the window by announcing plans to launch a variety TV show.

Well, I know that this news has been hotly anticipated…

All Shall Perish have posted two new songs from their forthcoming album Awaken the Dreamers on their MySpace page. Of the two tracks, I much prefer the epic, super-technical title track to “Never Again,” which sounds a little generic to me.

Awaken the Dreamers drops September 16 on Nuclear Blast. While you’re waiting, check out the new tracks and weigh in below.

I really, really want to say good things about this new song by All Shall Perish (via Capital Chaos).

Unfortunately, I can’t hear shit.

Still, since I want ASP’s new album to be good, I will, for now, assume that this song rules, or owns, or pwns, depending on your preference.

All Shall Perish, a.k.a. the one deathcore band seemingly everyone can agree upon, debuted a new, still-untitled song at the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis on Tuesday. And while the below video only gives a lo-fi snippet of said new song, well, those machine gun riffs sound pretty fuckin’ sweet to me.

Long before the likes of Dillinger Escape Plan and All Shall Perish were doing it, Cinderella made spinning your guitar around your back cool. Ah, who am I kidding, it always was, still is, and will always be cool. As is having Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora do a cameo in your video.

If only someone had told my 10 year-old self that you need a wireless unit to perform the guitar spinning trick correctly, I would’ve been spared much befuddlement and wire tangles as a youth.

I was walking to work this morning, listening to All Shall Perish’s The Price of Existence – one of my favorite albums of 2006 and a shining example of what the so-called “deathcore” genre is capable of when the players are at the top of their game – when I started to wonder why I haven’t heard rumblings of this band doing a new album.

Well, I checked out their MySpace page to if there were any updates, and, lo and behold!, they are working on a new album. So add the new All Shall Perish offering to my “most anticipated of ‘08″ list.

For those of you who don’t know this band, here’s their video for “Eradication,” from the aforementioned The Price of Existence. If you dig the song, definitely check out the rest of the disc; this album absolutely slays from start to finish.
