The Complete MetalSucks Metal Guide to the 2014 CMJ Music Marathon

The CMJ Music Marathon in New York City is nearly upon us! As usual there are plenty of metal events going on all week: there are those that are officially sanctioned by the festival and those that just so happen to be occurring at the same time, but if you’re here for CMJ anyway… why not go to ’em all??

This is our handy guide to all things metal during CMJ week. We’ll be attending nearly all of these events so if you see one of kindly give us a hearty *FLUSH.*
