Metal Injection

Listening to a new, young band like Starkill is sort of like playing a game of audio charades. Who do they most sound like?

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 [...]

Following my post on the origins of 25 Heavy Metal Stage Names, I thought what better sub-genre to focus the next iteration of the column on than black metal? It is after all the genre where stage names are taken so seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these musician's mothers were given a [...]

I personally really enjoy when a band takes the time to rant about the music industry. We all have our complaints but these are the people who are trying to build a career within an industry that is constantly evolving. Whether it's a band talking about how they don't make money off touring, or how [...]

Anaal Nathrakh have never presented themselves as black metal, but few bands outside that genre generate the kind of love-'em-or-hate-'em, spoilsport vibes these Brummie lads sidestep every single day of their lives. Much like trad-BM envelope pushers  Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth, Nathrakh are often seen as slick, overproduced scenesters who are more about image [...]
