The band have a short message on their official site that simply states "Ludicra has officially disbanded. It's been a great and rewarding ride. We would like to thank all who've supported us and been involved." They then posted [...]

Well, the votes have been tallied (thanks to Cancerscare for that) and the results are in! Here are the top albums of the year as decided by YOU, the Metal Injection junkies. We had an open forum thread where we invited everybody to submit their top 10 lists, and we combined everybody's for one definitive [...]

As the year is comes to a close, we will be taking you through the Best of 2010. Over the next couple of days, expect top 10 album lists from most of our writers, as well as the top stories & videos of the year. Don't forget, you can still submit your Top 10 album [...]

It's on! For the second year in a row, Scion is announcing a free one day festival: Scion Rock Fest. This year's lineup looks decent (although hard to top last year's mammoth lineup featuring MASTODON and NEUROSIS as headliners). This year will feature: – CANNIBAL CORPSE – SHRINEBUILDER – VOIVOD – D.R.I. – BRUTAL TRUTH [...]
