Metal Injection

Another Patric Ullaeus-directed clip from their new album Construct.

When I first started playing bass in high school, my friend Thomas and I made it a point, as all metal youngsters do, to learn songs by our favorite bands. The two of us spent years slaughtering songs by Metallica, Black Sabbath, and, of course, Slayer. As a metal fan, it is hard to not address the [...]

Like it or not, the two-thousand-teens are the decade of Prog. Those inclinations needn't be manifested by way of King Crimson clones – the split second time signature changes of tech death and the freeform deconstructionism of post-metal all owe a tip of the hat to the genre – but make no mistake: the 70's loom large [...]

Dark Tranquillity are coming out with their new album Construct soon, and they wanted you to hear their new single "The Science of Noise"! It's sick!

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 [...]

Dark Tranquillity immediately won me over with their album art for Construct, and this song is just helping me love it that much more.

Dark Tranquillity let you in on a little bit of their upcoming 10th studio album, Construct. It has what might already be the best album art of the year.

Having been on Victory Records through an entire album cycle now, and with a cover of D.R.I.'s classic "I Don't Need Society" in the track listing for the new record, heads were abuzz with thoughts that Jungle Rot might just go full on 'core this time around. Yeah, not really. Terror Regime is if anything latter day Rot-by-numbers, mid-paced but never plodding, [...]

Each week on ‘Throwback Thursday’ we dust off a crucial but underrated album, without which heavy metal’s evolution would have turned out quite differently. To kick off this series, we need not look beyond the LP most frequently cited as the very first, true heavy metal album: Blue Cheer’s earth-shattering Vincebus Eruptum.

Just want to get this out of the way up front… LABELS: send us your shit! We can't pimp it if we haven't heard it. This is the first week in 2013 where I've heard less than half of the albums coming out today, and I listen to everything I get at least once. Troof. [...]

It's both ironic and fitting that, while debate heats with every passing year about who is more "kvlt" in the realm of black metal, there are more and more bands willfully snubbing their noses at such fundamentalist thinking, blowing the genre up from the inside out… in 2013 you almost can't bastardize black metal nearly [...]

I can't decide if this is awesome or not, so I might need your help. Although, I am leaning towards awesome. We love our heavy metal animals here at Metal Injection. We have a whole channel dedicated to them. Apparently, we are not the only ones with love for our feline friends…so does photographer Alexandra [...]

Black Sabbath have been recording their new album, tentatively titled 13, for the better part of the last few months. The band are currently working with session drummer and Rage Against The Machine skinman Brad Wilk. The latest word from bassist Geezer Butler? The band is done recording and getting ready to mix the album.
