MetalSucks

MetalSucks is a news website dedicated to heavy metal music. It offers a variety of content, including reviews, interviews, updates on the newest metal releases, and blog-style articles contributed by the site's writers. The website was established in December 2006 by two friends who go by the pen names Vince Neilstein and Axl Rosenberg. They chose these names as a playful way to make it harder for anyone, like a concerned father from an Avenged Sevenfold concert, to find them.
