Suicidal Tendencies Announce Details For First New Album In 13 Years: Tour Dates Confirmed

Legendary punk/thrash band Suicidal Tendencies has announced that they will be releasing their first new album in 13 years and it is fittingly entitled 13. This is going to cause a little bit of confusion as Black Sabbath‘s new album is also called 13. Ah well, such is life.

The new album will be released March 26th via Suicidal Records and was produced by Mike Muir and Paul Northfield (Rush, Dream Theater, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, Hole). This album marks the 30th anniversary of the band.

Lead vocalist Mike Muir states, “First, thank you for all the people that have patiently waited for this record. Now I will shut up and let the music do the talking.

Album Review: Sick Of It All ‘Based On A True Story’

So, I honestly never really heard of Sick Of It All before this record, ‘Based on a True Story’. From what I’ve read, they’ve been around since 1986, have been a huge influence on the punk and hardcore scenes and ‘Based on a True Story’ is their 9th studio album. I’ll say this, just reading that has me impressed: Few bands hold on for that long. So, having read up on Sick Of It All a bit, I jumped headfirst into ‘Based on a True Story’. 
The description of the band is 100% accurate: these guys are definitely a mix of punk and hardcore and there is no shame about it. These songs are in and out, no BS, hit you in the face material. I started playing this as I began my daily workout and this music was a definite assist. The boundless, unbridled energy of these songs got me pumped up and ready for each exercise. But anyways, on to the review, shall we?
