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.^[1]^[2]

In, 2009, MetalSucks had leaking the album Axe to Fall by Converge onto the internet prior two weeks before its official release, and had assumed responsibility for doing so.^[3]

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.^[4] If the inaugural festival is a success, there are plans to make it an annual event.^[5]

In 2022, MetalSucks was acquired by entertainment company The Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony.^[6]
