MetalSucks is a heavy metal music-themed news website. The site features reviews, interviews, information on latest metal releases and blog-like posts from the writers, most notably Vince Neilstein and Axl Rosenberg.

History

The site was founded in December 2006 by authors Ben Umanov and Matthew Goldenberg, who use the pen names Vince Neilstein and Axl Rosenberg.

In, 2009, MetalSucks had leaked the album Axe to Fall by Converge onto the internet prior two weeks before its official release, and had assumed responsibility for doing so.

On August 15, 2011, MetalSucks announced The Metal Suckfest, a two-day music festival to take place in Manhattan on November 4 and 5 of that same year. Municipal Waste and Cynic were announced as headliners. If the inaugural festival is a success, there are plans to make it an annual event.

In 2022, MetalSucks was acquired by entertainment company The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony.
