Android users, we have not forgotten about you. We will be launching a mobile version of the main website very soon, and are definitely still interested in launching an app for Android as well.

Injection Reflection

RIP Chi, New BLACK SABBATH and more in the Top Pages of the Week

This was a rather eventful week in heavy metal and the world as a whole. We kicked it off with a huge bummer with the passing of Deftones bassist Chi, and mid-week we finally heard our first taste of new Sabbath. Here are the most visited pages of the week:

Don't forget to pick up our new t-shirt. We'll be back on Sunday with a new episode of the Livecast.

Black Metal History Month

Looking Back At BLACK METAL HISTORY MONTH

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 and Ancient. Watch it here.

We also posted two other black metal related videos, The King of Metal, Dave Hill reviewed some black metal videos and only really liked the Immortal one we showed him, and we took a peek into a day in the life of the Necrosexual.

We reviewed both new and classic black metal albums including:

We explored the stage name origins of 10 black metal artists, caught the commercial prog-rock band Muse getting down with Black Metal History Month, found our favorite new Tumblr blog, Bargain Bin Blasphemy and had some fun with a few silly black metal caption contests.

We were also incredibly stoked to announce the release of our very own Black Metal History Month T-Shirt designed by our good friend Mike Wohlberg, which is still available for purchase.

Don't forget just because February is over doesn't mean you can't wear your new Black Metal History Month T-Shirt proudly as we continue our Black Metal coverage year-round. For even more coverage, check out our 2012 Black Metal History.
