Metal Injection

We kicked off the episode in full "Darrinsky" mode, and that lasted throughout the episode leading to many laughs. We discussed the most recent developments in the Tim Lambesis trial. Sid had a startling world-exclusive interview. We found the worst rendition of the American national anthem. We discussed the new Five Finger Death Punch/Rob Halford [...]

Metal Injection hits the Golden Gods 2013 black carpet featuring interviews with members of Metallica, Five Finger Death Punch, Pantera, Stone Sour, Suicide Silence and more.

Members of Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Anthrax, Stone Sour, Pantera, Children of Bodom, Zakk Wylde and more pay tribute to the late Slayer guitarist

The metal world is still shocked about the news that broke yesterday that Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman of Slayer passed away due to liver failure at the young age of 49. Musicians everywhere have been paying tribute, and here is a roundup of their kind words for the influential guitarist:

Last night was the fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods and without question, the biggest one yet. Metallica performed! Anthrax got up on stage with Phil and Rex to perform "This Love?" Dillinger Escape Plan bled and breathed fire. Overall, it was a great night that we're still recovering from.

Like it or not, the two-thousand-teens are the decade of Prog. Those inclinations needn't be manifested by way of King Crimson clones – the split second time signature changes of tech death and the freeform deconstructionism of post-metal all owe a tip of the hat to the genre – but make no mistake: the 70's loom large [...]

Just let that sink in for a second- three big metal guys are on a song dedicated to Nelson Mandela (and Lucky Dube), which will be mixed and mastered by metal and pop producers. Is it safe to say that metal is a big deal yet?

The Revolver Golden Gods Awards are only two weeks away, which is insane. Today, the organizers announced a new performance scheduled as well as presenters. 

This weekend, we reported on the tragic passing of Deftones bassist Chi Cheng, who died at the age of 42 after his heart stopped. Cheng was in a coma for three years stemming from a 2008 car accident, and then still in a vegetative state for the remainder of his life. It was truly a [...]

It's been an eventful week in metal. A few tours were announced, we posted some silly videos and bands were resurrected. Here are the top stories of the week: It's The MARILYN MANSON & AVRIL LAVIGNE Collaboration You Weren't Waiting For Nicolas Cage Headbanging Drop Everything & Listen To The New THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER [...]

Wow, wow, wow! Iron Maiden sure know how to book a short tour. The band just announced a string of new tour dates for this September and they got quite the opening band, Megadeth. Additionally, there will be a huge one-off show in San Bernadino which also features Anthrax, Testament, Sabaton & Overkill.

March is almost over, which means Amazon.com's ridiculous March Is Metal Month sale is also almost over. You only have until the end of the weekend to get your digitalpaws on some great metal albums all for under $5.99. Here are some highlights of the sale: Gojira – L’Enfant Sauvage Testament – Dark Roots of Earth [...]

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 [...]

Last week, the fest revealed half it's lineup but now we have the full listing…

Scion Rock Fest is basically the best thing ever. While people might complain about Scion putting their corporate paws into the metal world, there is no denying how polite and caring those paws are. I will never forget my experience at the inaugral Rock Fest, and with the lineup for this year just announced, I [...]
