Metal Injection

Today is the last day of February and thus concludes another awesome round of Black Metal History Month. If you missed any of our frostbitten and grim coverage, here is a look back at what we posted: The Fix, our music video show, went ALL BLACK METAL with videos from Gorgoroth, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Satyricon [...]

Just in time for the last day of our annual Black Metal History Month series, I have found my favorite new Tumblr blog. I've discovered many a great Tumblr blogs in the past, be it Kitties on Metal Covers, Me And Fred Durst, Polite Metal Lyrics, or Fuck Yeah! Metal Cats, but this one takes [...]

Satan's Wrath's video "Slaves of the Inverted Cross" from the album "Galloping Blasphemy". Buy it on Amazon.com.

According to Blabbermouth, Behemoth member Nergal will be tried again for his previously reported charges of blasphemy, involving calling the Roman Catholic Church “the most murderous cult on the planet” and stripping pages from a Bible onstage.  A higher court in Gdańsk, Poland, has rejected the ruling of surprisingly even-handed Judge Krzysztof Wieckowski, who called [...]

Of all of our Best of 2012 coverage, I look forward to the list created by you, the Metal Injection junkies the most. It is always eye-opening to see what music you, our loyal readers, have been moved by. A few weeks ago, we asked you to submit your top 10 albums of the year [...]

I have a love/hate relationship with these damned things. Not the albums, obviously, but rather the lists. On the one hand, taken in the right context they're a fun way to knock ideas back and forth, offering last minute mandates to ensure that no one sleeps on the records that everyone has been losing their [...]

2012 will not see end of the world, or extreme music for that matter. However, if this was the end of Metal and Hardcore as we know it, the year 2012 would make quite a grand finale. So many great records came out this year that I decided to stretch this article to a more [...]

And so it begins, all this week (and perhaps some of next week), we will be recapping the best of the year, with year-end lists of albums, shows and other various lists from all Metal Injection contributors. As always, we want to hear your top albums as well. Make your voice heard here. My metal [...]

One of the biggest stories of the last week was an appeal sent to the Polish supreme court in the trial of Adam "Nergal" Darski, who is being tried for ripping up pages of the bible at a 2007 Behemoth show. After successfully defending himself, citing freedom of speech, the case was brought to the [...]

While the east coast was submerged in water, Behemoth frontman Nergal aka Adam Darski was in a Polish court defending his freedom of speech. At a 2007 Polish show, Nergal began ripping pages of the bible while on stage and calling the Catholic Church "the most murderous cult on the planet." Some religious leaders in [...]

Cryptopsy's reputation has been in a constant state of flux over the last 4 to 5 years and since the dust only recently has settled from the controversy of the band's last album, The Unspoken King, they have a lot of damage control to do. Fans might hope for a call back to the golden [...]

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 [...]

Solid releases all around this week, so let's get right into it: we'll take a look at highly anticipated albums from Baroness and The Contortionist, and delve into albums from Hexen and Bestial Holocaust that, if not already on your radar, should most definitely be. Here are all the new releases for 7/17:

It's been a while but the Hand ov Doom has finally returned from Maryland Deathfest. We're getting back to the grim, stark reality of everyday bullshit and dealing with the end of the biggest metal party of the year. We've got stories and friends and a shitload of music all to remind us that work [...]

Our intrepid photographer Aline Cote-Miladinovich attended Inferno Festival in Oslo, Norway in April and filed this report, along with a massive photo gallery of her experiences. Something strange and magical happens in the town of Oslo, Norway over Easter week. Most of polite society flees to the mountains while a scourge of metal heads pour [...]
