MetalSucks

Monday was 2008 Sucks day here at MetalSucks, but we rocked out the rest of the week with some ridiculous shit as per usual:

• We announced our best-of lists for 2008. Check ‘em out.
• Contest: You tell us why you hate the holidays, we send you 100 CDs. Sweet deal.
• PA woman tortures kitties with piercings.
• We spoke with Misery Index’s Jason Netherton and Three Inches of Blood’s Cam Pipes.
• Corporate rock still sells, but Chinese Democracy apparently doesn’t.
• We hated on this band, this band and this band, the latter of whom sent their fans here in droves to hate us back.
• We wondered whether Roadrunner Records actually dropped Amanda Palmer because of her “belly fat” (hint: they didn’t even drop her).
• God Forbid released the cover artwork and tracklisting of Earthsblood, and Pack of Wolves (ex-At All Cost member) released new music.

Tonight it’s new The End Records-signees Hull for Kip and me. Have a good one, everybody.

This band.

Seriously, everything is wrong. Let’s start with the fact that the accompanying bio uses every cliche in the book. Some choice nuggets include “taken the scene and turned it upside down” and “kicks it up a notch.” (“vicious breakdown” is also laughable). Similarly, the music itself indulges in every awful modern metal trend (like, really, all of them) and mashes them all up into one completely lifeless suckfest devoid of anything “lively.” And here’s the worst part of all; not only does the band call themselves “partycore” (Jesus Christ there are so many things wrong with this) but they take credit for having coined the term, as if this is a distinction.

And to think I just gave their MySpace plays a boost (already at “8,000 plays daily”!! zomg!!!) by telling all you fucks about them. Oh, the irony.
