For more coverage of the 70k Tons of Metal cruise, hit uphttp://metalinjection.net/70000 - We asked members of Cannibal Corpse. Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Amorphis, Crowbar, Eluveitie, Athiest, Stratovarius, Pestilence and Kataklysm what their favorite part of playing the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise is. Everybody was in such a good mood and it was fun times [...]

We have just updated our photo gallery with some sweet new snaps. In addition to Norway's Bunker extreme metal festival that was posted yesterday, we just added two new galleries.

Being in a band that "made it" must be pretty awesome. You get to go on stage, and look out and see hundreds of fans screaming and head banging and getting excited all because your band is up on stage. This new video that Wintersun released pretty much confirms everything I thought it would be [...]

In five days it'll be October, which in my mind signifies the beginning of Fall. And do you know what that means? Pumpkin beer, yes. Football, yes. Hay rides, of course. All great stuff, who am I to say otherwise? But if you're an anti-social shut-in who hates fun (I'm assuming as much because you're [...]

Wintersun need more time! THEY NEED MORE TIME! The band was all set to release their long awaited sophomore effort, Time I, it was all set to come out on October 16th, but now it's been delayed due to manufacturing issues. Thankfully, it's only delayed a week. The band laid it all out in a [...]

This is a tour-de-force for folk/melodic metal fans. Eluveitie have announced they will be teaming with Wintersun for a  Winter US tour, and they're taking Varg with them. I repeat, Wintersun is going to be touring the US. I know one person who is already at the front of the line waiting for tickets. The tour kicks off [...]
