Sh*t That Comes Out Today: January 23, 2026
A huge winter storm is barreling toward MetalSucks HQ, so we’re trying to stay warm and prepare ourselves for all the shoveling that comes with this sort of thing. Not looking forward to any of it, but at least we’ll have new tunes to get us through the worst of it…

Alkaloid
Bach Out Of Bounds (Season Of Mist)
What happens when a progressive death metal band decides to try their hand at interpreting some of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and writing music inspired by the late Baroque German composer? Well, you get Alkaloid and their most recent release. Recorded during a live show in the Netherlands last year, this release is a unique musical adventure.
Megadeth
Megadeth (BLKIIBLK)
It’s finally here. After all the hubub and hullabaloo, the very last Megadeth record (barring any cash grab compilations or B-side collections) is out and boy, do I have thoughts. If you’re a fan of the ‘Big Four’ or just want to see how Dave Mustaine is choosing to end his career, definitely give this a listen. Just make sure to stick around for the “bonus” track so you can hear their rendition of Metallica’s “Ride The Lightning”.
New Miserable Experience
Gild The Lily (Pelagic)
Sometimes metal musicians don’t want to go a million miles a minute and would rather take time to create something interesting. That’s what New Miserable Experience is. Comprised of members from bands like Rivers of Nihil, Revocation, and Rosetta, they sure as hell have the pedigree to put out some insanely badass metal, they just opted to go more the synth rock this time around.
ly check it out, if only for the track featuring Geoff from Thursday on vocals
Poppy
Empty Hands (Sumerian Records)
The queen of scream, Poppy is back with her follow up to 2024’s Negative Spaces and damn it, this doesn’t disappoint.
