Metal Injection

A new bromance has arose in the world of music! Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine revealed something incredibly shocking recently. He's friends with your mom's favorite sax player, Kenny G.!

One thing is on everyone's mind for the next Mastodon record, and that's where the hell they're going to go next in terms of their overall sound! I mean, they've been working on this for a while now.

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 [...]

Holy rock! Volbeat, Him, All That Remains and Airbourne are headed out on Monster's Rock Allegiance Tour at some point this year!

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

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. This week we drop a tab of LSD and tune out to the sounds of psychedelic metal’s last trip of the 1970s, as delivered by minor super-group Captain Beyond and their [...]

After a week of silence, the WEEKLY INJECTION has returned with a shiny new writer. There are a few gems on the list of albums dropping this week, but they are a few and far between. However, those that shine, do so quite well though. Now, without further introduction to my awkward writing style…. to [...]

From the demonic minds behind Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies, and Stroker & Hoop comes Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell, a new series starring Henry Zebrowski as a demon working for the Devil (played by Matt Servitto, of The Sopranos fame ) in Hell (where else?).  To celebrate the show’s premiere on Adult Swim tonight at midnight, Metal Injection now presents to you a list [...]

Amon Amarth certainly don't want to disappoint their fans, so they've announced what might be the coolest damn deluxe version of 2013!

This is kind of a monster tour. Fear Factory haven't been touring much since recently releasing The Industrialist (at least I think they haven't. And seeing Hate Eternal live is like constantly running into a wall of sound and happily running into it again, basically..it's fantastic. These two bands are teaming up for a tour [...]

As the weather warms up and tour season kicks into high gear, we're starting to see more marquee releases coming down the pipeline. This isn't a good time to get behind on your metal… playing catch up later is going to be a bitch from this point on.

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. This week we slam-dance with an album that by all rights should be overlooked by no one (but somehow still is) due to its central role in the Bay Area thrash [...]

Lamb of God is wasting no time getting back on the road now that frontman Randy Blythe has been acquitted of all charges in Czech court. The band has announced a new tour as well as a four day retreat in upstate New York to get real close and intimate with the band.

There seem to be more and more little supergroups forming over the past few years, and in no way is that a bad thing. Mutoid Man are no different.

There’s been quite the buzz around Killswitch Engage as of late, what with Howard Jones’ departure and original vocalist Jesse Leach stepping in to rejoin the band permanently and appear on his first record in about eleven years. With all that, one would assume that Disarm the Descent would be a masterpiece of modern metal, [...]
