It's been a little over two months since Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been acquitted of allegations of manslaughter in Prague, after a fan of the band, Daniel Nosek died from injuries sustained while stage-diving at a Lamb of God show. You can read our previous coverage of the trial here. Other than [...]

Rotting Out are dropping their new record The Wrong Way on May 7, but you definitely don't have to wait until then to hear it!

Every year since it's founding in 2004, Baltimore's A389 Recordings has released a mixtape highlighting upcoming priority releases as well as some of the label's more obscure acts. The 2013 edition has just been released, and it's absolutely jammed with great music.

Valient Thorr slate their new album, Our Own Masters, for a June 18 release date.

Killswitch Engage's long anticipated comeback album, Disarm The Discent comes out next Tuesday but that band is giving you an early peek into the sound of the album by streaming the whole thing right now.

Southern Lord would eat these guys up. No Salvation play a sludge/stoner-friendly hardcore that doesn't fit neatly into one category but would immediately gel on the current SL roster. For now they're self-releasing their debut EP, Faith, through Bandcamp (ie. digital only, which is where Southern Lord needs to step in… this is eminently vinyl-worthy).

Whoa! I did not expect this. Last Friday, the metal world was rather shocked when Machine Head announced they were parting ways with bassist Adam Duce. Everything seemed pretty civil, but in a new blog entry, frontman Robb Flynn sort of tears into Duce, saying the bassist was basically "over it" for the last decade [...]

The four times I've seen Kvelertak live, I have felt completely blown away by their on-stage energy. Check out our live footage if you don't believe it. If you haven't caught the band live yet, you're in luck! They are spending the better part of the spring touring North America with Cancer Bats and Black [...]

First thing's first: Last week's winner! Congratulations to K4rate3 HABEEB who had me laughing at loud at his entry: I dont always play guitar but when I do I use Dos Neckis He'll be getting a copy of the new Hatebreed album. Now for this week, in honor of Black Metal History Month, we are [...]

It was pretty shocking when Rob Caggiano announced he was leaving Anthrax earlier this month. Rob has been with the band for the better part of 12 years, and everything seemed hunky dory. Keyword: seemed. In a new interview, Caggiano opens up about his decision to leave the band.

Feh, Tuesday. What a lame day. Thankfully, we have a bunch of new music to get us through it. This includes some cool new acoustic clips from Baroness, a new track from Shai Hulud, album streams from Tomahawk and Mutiny Within and performance footage of Coheed and Cambria appearing on Conan.

Yesterday, we told you about a weird short named Wrong Cops premiering at Sundance, which stars Marilyn Manson playing a teenager. Today, we have another Sundance entry, but this time, it's the whole film!

Some believe the Mayans predicted the end of the world will happen this Friday. But what would cause the world to end? Asteroids? Global Warming? In our holiday episode, we find it's far, far worse than that, and only Santa's Christmas Elves have the power to stop the oncoming apocalypse. It's a race to find [...]

Well, it’s feels a little strange doing a Top 10 list since I haven’t completed a full year yet at MetalInjection. Also, I really haven’t had as much time as I wanted to listen to a lot of new albums that I didn’t end reviewing for the site. The lists of my fellow bloggers probably [...]

Venomous Maximus – debuting on LP here after an independently released EP earlier this year - are 80's metal children, to be sure, but not the kind that grew up on the usual thrash or glam… NWOBHM-inspired doom by the likes of Candlemass and Witchfinder General. While other bands toiling in the genre are either content to mine the Sabbath [...]
