Metal Injection sent intrepid writer/photographer  Aline Miladinovich to the 2nd annual Bloodstock UK fest. The lineup featured the likes of Motorhead, Morbid Angel, Immortal, WASP, At The Gates and many more. Aline came back with a giant set of phenomenal photos (check those out here) and this report… Armed with a very special pair of submarine black, [...]

Looks like Skeletonwitch's (now former) drummer Derrick "Mullet Chad" Nau is over touring. The band announced he will be leaving the band to pursue art school full time. The band made it clear there are no hard feelings, and his decision will be respected. The Athens, OH natives have already found a replacement in Tony [...]

Well, the votes have been tallied (thanks to Cancerscare for that) and the results are in! Here are the top albums of the year as decided by YOU, the Metal Injection junkies. We had an open forum thread where we invited everybody to submit their top 10 lists, and we combined everybody's for one definitive [...]

The good news for 1349 fans? The band's black metal opus, Demonoir is currently streaming over at SteroGum in it's entirety. The album comes out next Tuesday, 4/27. The bad news? Due to the Icelandic volcano erruption the band is having a hard time trying to get into the states for their tour with Cannibal [...]

Periphery have posted yet another new track on their MySpace page, titled The Walk. The song has plenty of "djent" to make their fans satisfied. I think this is my favorite track they have premiered so far. The album hits stores on 4/20 and is already up for pre-order. If you want a little less [...]

So apparently, instead of taking the traditional route and advertising on TV, billboards, etc, Scion has decided to host music festivals instead as a means of promoting their brand. Strange? I thought so too, until I saw the lineup for their "Rock Fest." Holy mother of fuck, I don't care WHAT they're selling – any [...]
