Greetings once again all you metal nerds. This was a rough week. Rough in a sense that there was almost too much good stuff to talk about from so many genres, subgenres, subsubgenres, etc. I could have gone on and on with this week's WEEKLY INJECTION, but alas, the fancy beer I can't pronounce is [...]

Listening to a new, young band like Starkill is sort of like playing a game of audio charades. Who do they most sound like?

Everyone has that band that got them into music, or into a genre. And no matter how mediocre or revolutionary that band is, you'll always hold them as one of the greatest things ever recorded. Personally speaking, my first real dose of underground hardcore, thrash, crust, and pure wreckage is also a completely unsung band [...]

Children Of Bodom have taken a very interesting marketing approach with their new album, Halo of Blood. Their lead single has been playing on radio for a few weeks, but the band have not released the track online as a stream and have been vigilant about taking down Youtube videos. Now the band has released [...]

Viking metallers Ensiferum signed with Metal Blade Records before they killed them and pillaged their villages.

Howl are streaming their new record Bloodlines, which is not permissible for you to miss. So get on here and hear them jams!

So there's this band called Powerwolf, see. And they're as awesome as their name sounds. But you've probably never heard of them because they're a German power metal band, and power metal isn't cool enough for metalheads in the United States. Still, you should check out their new album, Preachers Of The Night, when it's released this summer [...]

After a week of silence, the WEEKLY INJECTION has returned with a shiny new writer. There are a few gems on the list of albums dropping this week, but they are a few and far between. However, those that shine, do so quite well though. Now, without further introduction to my awkward writing style…. to [...]

This week's episode kicks off with talks of the Boston bombing and the reporting fallout from the tragic event. We discuss Uncle Ruslan and terrible reporting puns. We learned what "visual assassin" means. In the second hour, we're joined by Amos of Tesseract who had absolutely nothing negative to say about Periphery unfortunately. Longtime fan, [...]

Anders Blakkheim Nyström, guitarist of Katatonia and Bloodbath has his old-school leather coat up on eBay. I suggest checking this out and purchasing it for ultimate badassery.

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 head to 1980s South America, when and where fledgling Brazilian metal bands like Vulcano channeled all of their third world misery into some of the most vicious and [...]

The metal world was shocked when Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi announced he had lymphoma. A year and a half later, Iommi is cancer free, but not without a price. He has to regularly go in for check-ups and blood transfusions. Iommi described the arduous process he goes through to the Birmingham Mail. Here are highlights:
