Lemmy From MOTORHEAD Explains The Mathematics Behind Sleeping With 1,000 Women

Motorhead bassist Lemmy Kilmister is a living legend. Everybody who comes in contact with the man has nothing but praise for the iconic bassist. We even had a chance to speak with him at the Golden Gods a few years ago, and Lemmy was as charismatic as usual.

With such charm, and legendary status in the rock world, it's easy to see how Lemmy would have no problem finding a nice girl to bring home for the night. You see, married life isn't for Lemmy, he's all about just having fun. Lemmy has claimed in the past to have slept with over 1,000 women, which initially sounds like an insane amount, but in a recent interview with Spin, the man put it all in perspective with a bit of mathematics: (more…)

PSYOPUS Forging A Comeback?

Everybody knows I love hate Psyopus, the avant grind band from Rochester, NY. We only have a million videos featuring the band when they were active (fun fact: they are the first band we ever interviewed for Metal Injection). Recently, the band has been on extended hiatus, with main man/guitarist Chris Arp just selling books and dvds of music instruction on eBay. But it looks like he's trying to get the old band back together.  Here is the message he posted on his personal Facebook page: (more…)

GOD SEED Will Release I Begin October 23

When King ov Hell and Gaahl left Gorgoroth in 2006, the duo formed a group called God Seed. The two never released anything under the moniker, because Gaahl "retired" right before he was set to record vocals for their first album in 2009. King ended up recruiting Dimmu Borgir vocalist Shagrath to record 2010's monumental The Underworld Regime album under the name Ov Hell. Gaahl has since had a change of heart, after his stint in acting in musicals, God Seed is set to release I Begin on October 23rd. Here's the track listing:  (more…)

Members ANIMALS AS LEADERS And THE FACELESS To Host Music Clinic Retreat

I am not sure about the rest of you, but I often times find myself wondering just how awesome it would be to attend an adult camp. Instead of going on vacation, people would just go to camp.

Well it seems someone decided to spy on my dirty dreams because this is now a reality. Introducing, Camping With Animals! A winter retreat from January 2nd to the 6th at Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, New York, featuring Animals As Leaders — Tosin Abasi, Javier Reyes and Matt Garstka, plus Evan Brewer, bassist from The Faceless.

Goalie Pays Tribute To BLACK SABBATH With Killer Hockey Mask

When I think about professional sports and which player and/or position seems to be the most intimidating, I always conclude that hands down, ice hockey goalies are the most intimidating players. They literally look like monsters with their giant pads and fiercely decorated masks. Fear plays a big role in maximizing their game. Getting into the opponent's head can and does create an advantage for the goalie. So it's only normal that more and more we are seeing intricate goalie masks being designed, and when looking to be intimidating as fuck the only natural choice is to have a Black Sabbath mask!

ANTHRAX Is The First Metal Band Blasted On Mars

The Curiosity Rover landed on Mars on August 6^th and while its primary mission is to research the Martian planet, collect data and send it back to earth, its secondary mission is to rock the shit out of that planet and any god damn aliens it finds.

MANOWAR To Score The Soundtrack for JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME Movie

Why hasn't this happened sooner? When you think of manliness in the '80s, if you're talking about action movies, it's Jean-Claude Van Damme, if you're talking about heavy metal…there are none more manly than Manowar. I mean look at this photo of them, all man!

So it obviously makes sense that the two forces of manliness are teaming up for a project. Van Damme's next movie needed a very rugged, testosterone-filled soundtrack to match all the explosions and spin kicks in the movie, so he called his good buddy Joey DeMaio, frontman of Manowar. The band will be scoring Soilder, due out sometime in the spring of 2013. Here's DeMaio's manly quote about why he accepted the gig: (more…)
