But We Already Trap[ped] Them In A Basement

Posted by Justina Villanueva

For us Metal Injectioners, it was a delight running into Trap Them at the Crazy Donkey last week when we shot Black Dahlia Murder's entire set in Long Island. It was even better watching Trap Them again, despite all their gear issues. Then I remembered, "Shit, exactly 7 months ago I took pictures of them in Jersey. And, shit, I never put them on Metal Injection!"

So now I have a great excuse to post them on a blog because in a week all us lucky people who live on the east coast will be blessed with Cave In, Narrows and Trap Them shows (New Yorkers get Nov. 19). And I also have an excuse to tell you that New Jersey still has hardcore bands. When Trap Them played that New Brunswick basement, bands Troublemaker, Fleshtemple and Suburban Scum opened for them. And since then, I've been exposed to other NJ based HC that I normally wouldn't give a fuck about. But these bands have managed to open my metal heart and arms to the destructive Seasick and the more punky Staring Problem.

We're Back – So here's a news roundup

I'm slowly coming to after an intense week of partying in Europe. Long story short: Amsterdam is amazing. There is weed everywhere, beautiful girls, bikes, great parks and amazing architecture. It almost makes me hate NY. Anyway, here are some news items I found this afternoon in a nice little package:

We just posted an interview we did with THE FACELESS

CONVERGE has posted the cover art for their upcoming release, Axe to Fall Vocalist and artist Jacob Bannon delivers again. If you missed it a few months ago, we posted video of 3 new songs. Check them out here.

Oderus from GWAR was interviewed at Noisecreep and of course it's awesome. Check it out.

In the free music department, MetalInsider is hosting a free stream of another new ALICE IN CHAINS song, there is a new MEGADETH song streaming, SKELETONWITCH is streaming a new MP3 on their MySpace page and MetalSucks has a free Century Media sampler download as well as a Weekend Nachos MP3.

SLAYER's new CD is set to come out in October.

CATTLE DECAPITATION parted ways with their bassist

Our buddies over at SMN posted a bunch of video interviews from Mayhem Fest. Our coverage should be going up in the next few weeks.

Stoned News Roundup from Amsterdamn

Roh here! So, it's 3:30 in the morning, am really stoned and in Amsterdam, everything is closed and I just spent the last few minutes catching up on what's going on in metal. Cause I am a nerd. And I'm stoned and there is nothing better to do (other than eat more magic brownies). Here are some stories I found:

http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=61774965

Above is Shadows Fall's “Still I Rise” is the first video from the band’s upcoming album, Retribution, which streets September 15 on Everblack Industries. Also, drummer Jason Bittner's other band Burning Human just released a video for the track Tormented Mind.

Alice in Chains got Elton fucking John to play a piano part on the title track of AIC's new album, Black Gives Way to Blue. Also, the band released the new album art. I am quite excited for this release, which comes out September 29th.

SOULFLY will hit the road in the U.S. this Fall with support from PRONG, CATTLE DECAPITATION, and MUTINY WITHIN. SMN has dates.

God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle is going to fill in for Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton (who is having a kid) when LOG open for Metallica. Ridiculous!

Pig Destroyer was the focus of an article in the Washington Post. Um, wow. Good for them! They were also the focus of a Metal Injection interview, which will be up very soon, along with a ton of live footage.

Not only are there photos of the type of people who attended this year's Gathering of the Juggalos, but there is video too. I still can't believe these people exist.

There is video of the Cave In reunion.

Alright, I'm going to pass out. Did I miss anything?

Dispatches from the Van Metal Up Your Ass

maudlin of the Well Release 'Part The Second' For Free; Avant Nerds Get Boners

If you don't know of the experimental band maudlin of the Well, they get responses like this:

eric: It's all I hoped & more. The more part being a glimpse at the inside of that window & the Clover Garland doors. Dd doors.

This band (yes, entire band) is truly one of the greatest projects ever to exist. Someone please prove me wrong.

Strapping Young Chad: YES YES YESSS! thank you guys! it's a freakin masterpiece!!!

DEIVIDDO!: The new album is a musical orgasm if I've ever had one… gives me reason to keep going… especially the grooves, the guitar solos, toby's singing… damn EVERYTHING! THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH TO ANYONE WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE!!!!

Maxime: aaaaaaarrrgg!
"Part the Second" is… awesome!
I can't believe it!
wow! I'm really impress…

I can't review Part The Second because I'm just not that good at doing reviews, but I can promise it will rule. I also promise that if you don't like it, you will not hate someone. I can promise that because it is free and available for download in various versions here. About a year ago, Toby Driver [maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot] wrote in a blog, "I wonder if we could somehow have a community-funded motW record – funded by donations from fans and then released for free online."

And, viola! With the aid of fans, including the "generous" Etienne Dube, a maudlin of the Well album is available to anyone for free. If you too feel generous, you can donate and maybe fans can see a pressed version of Part The Second.

METAL UP YOUR ASS: Metal Heads Are Everywhere I Go

At the Metal Injection Blog Factory, we are all preparing for our road trip to Worcester for the annual NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL. And by preparing, I mean doing mediocre research to interview bands and downloading old school hip hop to blast at 3am to piss of Rob and Frank. Oh, and getting my car checked out to make sure we have a smooth ride (yes, I know that is what she said). So at about 2pm I went to the local Express Lube place down the street from me. After telling the dude who was checking my car that I was going on a long trip and just wanted to make sure everything was safe to go, he confesses that he's a HUGE Sabbath and Venom fan. So I let him in on the new Heaven and Hell album and charges me $0. I win. Now you can read all the news you have missed and catch up on who is releasing new tunes. Click away. Click away.

Black metal's version of Hot or Not. Thanks to Jeanne Fury for initially finding this and then Metal Sucks for reblogging it.

Two days after NoiseCreep posted this feature, FACT vanflipped.

You can now pre-order the new Gwynbleidd album, "Nostalgia."

Landmine Marathon's Grace Perry blogged about bat wings and drunkenly telling off cab drivers.

Some Crust dude offered a metal history lesson last week. If you like or want to learn read this brief history of Sunn 0))).

Metal Sucks learned a lesson on Atheist versus Atheism. You can learn it too.

So secret shows are never really secret, unless–no its just never really a secret anymore. And in saying so, I'm going to blab about a secret show in Albuquerque. Get a preview of that show here.

Speaking of cool tour packages, every so often two tours are simultaneously traveling the U.S. And every not so often they cross the same city/venue on the same day. If you live in the Detroit area, you are one lucky metal head.

If you life in Philly or St. Paul you can meet Lamb of God.

new. Nachtmystium. ep. <--Proof that everyone is stoked.

Bodom's new setlist is as follows: 'Silent Night, Bodom Night', 'Hellhounds On My Trail', 'Living Dead Beat', 'Angels Don't Kill', 'COD / BBQ', 'In Your Face', 'Blooddrunk', 'Downfall'.

There is NO group therapy in this doc. NOCAREEVER! Sike. I can't not dig that they included Metallica's Moscow footage, but it does suck that there was barely a mention of the bassist situation. It goes from Burton to Newsted to Trujillo in a breathe, if that.

Hammerfall destroyed a hotel room. Read about it here.

METAL UP YOUR ASS: Short Weekend Edition

Today marks the first day of a super busy week for me. So expect crappier and short editions. No worries, though. I'll be back with a vengeance and lots of cool show stories [maybe, I don't know].

Call me a poser, if you will, but if you were 14 and didn't they were cool, you didn't grow up in America. And that's my prep speech for announcing that Korn is touring once again. Dates here. And if you can't wait for that shitshow, you can watch Fieldy webisodes.

Peter Beste embarked on a photojournalist's wet dream for 8 years. Now, he's showing off his art in NYC.

Voivod is putting out a new album. Jason Newsted confirmed it.

"We are going to play until we can't walk anymore." Yes. He went there. The newscast is in Portuguese but this news item of KISS with the Saw Paulo police who closed off the freeway for them is not.

LANDMINE MARATHON IS ON TOUR. If you live around NYC you have three chances to see them (Lit Lounge, MMAC, and The Charleston).

Metal Up Your Ass: Justina needs Passover Food

Today marks the first day of Passover. I never knew what the holiday actually consisted of but I knew it meant that the Jewish group at my school was going to have some badass potato pancakes in the student center. Because I've graduated I no longer have such quick access to holy-foods I don't deserve. But, if anyone sympathizes for an always-hungry metal head, e-mail me: Justina@englishwaffle.com. Shit, I'll even settle for pics of your dinner.

Since I know even less about being a jew boy than I do about Passover, I've decided to read Metal Suck's jew on jew interview with Daath's Eyal Levi. Now I know "if you got it between the eyes, you got it between the thighs."

Touring can be tough. But, at least Geoff Tate (QUEENSRYCHE) is here to tell you communication is key.
