Metal Injection

Decibel decided to grace your ears with their three-song rare flexi-disc of some live Pig Destroyer because they're nice people.

I am so serious right now. Combine this with the fact that we have the elderly blasting Iron Maiden at people this week, and maybe we should just realize we shouldn't fuck with old people.

Here's either the best news you've heard or all day or the worst! It really depends on what bands you wanted to see and if their schedules conflict.

I have yet to make it to a GWAR-B-Q, but it looks like this is the year for me to do it. The band will be holding the fourth annual party at Hadad's Water Park in Richmond, VA on Saturday, August 17th and have amassed quite the lineup. 

Lair of the Minotaur have been silent on the new music front since 2010's killer Evil Power, but that's about to change. The band is releasing a new EP called Godslayer as well as playing a free record release show at Chicago's Reckless Records to commemorate this year's Record Store Day. The EP is limited to 300 7" pressings [...]

On this monumental edition of the Metal Injection Livecast, Rob finally did it . He called his mom live on the air. Just one of the many calls that happened on this edition. We also had our favorite guest of all time, Oderus call in not as drunk as the last time he sat in [...]

Relapse Records just announced that Pig Destroyer have started offering a new EP, titled Mass & Volume, for sale on the band's Bandcamp page. Pig Destroyer recorded the EP of doom metal during the Phantom Limb sessions and the band is offering a digital download for ten dollars. All proceeds from the EP will go [...]

The people who work behind the scenes in the metal world were devastated this week at the loss of Pat Egan, Relapse’s director of sales for the past 10 years. Egan died from complications of pneumonia. I only met Egan on a handful of occasions, but he was always all smiles. Metal Insider and Billboard Magazine both have touching tributes to [...]

Pig Destroyer's new video "The Diplomat" is a suitably brutal melee of grindcore gunfire and money-colored blood splay like a Kubrick mashup between 'Paths of Glory' and 'A Space Odyssey.' From the band's album in 5 years, 'Book Burner.'

Pig Destoyer – Naked Trees with the movie Happy Feet

Grind has been making a comeback lately – its decline in both popularity and availability roughly traceable to Nasum's 2005 break up – and you'd expect Relapse to be leading such a resurgence. True to form, the label has recently put out genre defining efforts by the likes of Pig Destroyer and Rotten Sound, and now they bring [...]

Move over Pig Destroyer, there's a new dog in town. We know cats can sing death metal, but this dog has a little fight in him. Found originally at this [link]
