Metal Injection

Juggalos are everywhere these days. The news. SNL parodies. Even on FBI watchlists. So maybe I shouldn't be so shocked to see a juggalo pop up in the trailer for the new Grand Theft Auto V game.

Skyrim was meant to have Amon Amarth in it. It's basically the world I've always imagined for their music in video game form, and now we can all finally add them to it.

This was a rather eventful week in heavy metal and the world as a whole. We kicked it off with a huge bummer with the passing of Deftones bassist Chi, and mid-week we finally heard our first taste of new Sabbath. Here are the most visited pages of the week: DEFTONES Bassist Chi Cheng Dead [...]

In the right hands, music is a life-sustaining force. On their second album, Thrawsunblat have channeled the pain of real-life tragedy and death into a work of staggering might. Featuring the remaining members of Woods of Ypres, Wanderer on the Continent of Saplings is informed by that band’s unique sound, but it is by no [...]

In what has become a yearly tradition, Metal Injection proudly brings to you our Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest ticket giveaway. We will be choosing a winner for each stop of the tour, who will receive two general admission tickets to the event. This year's Mayhem Fest is headlined by Rob Zombie, Five Finger Death Punch [...]

Amon Amarth certainly don't want to disappoint their fans, so they've announced what might be the coolest damn deluxe version of 2013!

Dragonforce are going to be recording their next record starting in May with good ol' Jens Bogren (who has been behind the board for Opeth, The Devil Townsend Project, Amon Amarth, Katatonia, Soilwork and Symphony X). Killer?

Ever wanted to just rip your shirt off and fight some gods? Well, we're all too human for that crap. The closest we're going to get it new Amon Amarth track.

Amon Amarth are an epic band and an epic band requires epic album art.

We already know that Children of Bodom and Amon Amarth are locked in for this summer's Mayhem Fest but Mayhem doesn't go everywhere. So, the bands decided to team up for a bunch of "off dates" on the days they have off from Mayhem. Certain shows also feature Behemoth, Job For A Cowboy, Huntress and [...]

I couldn't be more excited about Game of Thrones returning this Sunday on HBO for it's third season. It's without question the most metal show on television. Seriously, how has Amon Amarth not cameoed on the show yet? Anyway, it's easy to see the crossover appeal between the show and metalheads, and some fans have [...]

Heavy MTL is the biggest metal festival to hit Canada. While in previous years, it was accompanied by a Toronto version of the festival, this year, it's all Heavy MTL… happening August 10 and 11 at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Canada. The lineup is usually a good indication of which bands will be on tour [...]

So we're getting a new Amorphis album on April 19, but on April 17 we're getting Amorphis bourbon sauce. Seems like it'll be a tasty week!

Children of Bodom drop some artwork, a name, and a track list. I can't help but be excited in at least some capacity.

The official lineup of bands for the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival 2013 has been announced and we have all the info.
