Metal Injection

I will admit, I'm a few days late with this news, but that's because it's all taken a while to sink in. Atreyu were putting feelers out to their fans that they may be plotting a comeback.

It's been a little over two months since Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe has been acquitted of allegations of manslaughter in Prague, after a fan of the band, Daniel Nosek died from injuries sustained while stage-diving at a Lamb of God show. You can read our previous coverage of the trial here. Other than [...]

Palms, featuring vocalist Chino Moreno of Deftones and bassist Jeff Caxide, drummer Aaron Harris and guitarist Bryant Clifford Meyer from Isis, are all set to drop their debut on the world! The only thing left now is all the music.

At one point Killing Joke were one of the most bulletproof post-punk bands around. Releasing their first single in 1978, they were right there with Wire and Gang of Four as indisputable early pioneers of the genre. In an era of Cold War hostilities and Reaganomics the band's (dead serious) brand of apocalyptic beats and conspiracy-oriented lyrics hit home with an [...]

I'm going to be completely forward with you on this one, I'm really not a fan and everything the band said this album was going to be, it isn't so far.

It's easy to forget sometimes that Metallica are really, really rich. Sure, we recently uncovered the net worth of both Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield but it really didn't sink in for me until I saw this house listing for a huge five acre home that once belonged to James Hetfield.

Battlecross just got all finished up with their new record at Audiohammer Studios after working with Mark Lewis (Black Dahlia Murder, Trivium, Whitechapel) and Eyal Levi (Daath). See what they have to say about the experience!

There aren't many bands that maintain a consistency while constantly progressing from album to album. It seems like everyone wants to renew and reinvent their sound so as not to bore their audiences. Dillinger Escape Plan is a band that has never, ever had this problem. Since their spastic beginnings releasing two smashing EPs until [...]

The metal world has been getting really heavy lately (pun intended, but I'm not proud of it). There has been death, a murder plot, and drugs (the scary AMC kind). It's almost like metal is the new hip hop (burn?). So, It was such a relief to have so many great albums dropping today (almost too many). [...]

When you think of seven string guitar gods, what's the first name that pops into your mind? Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah? Tosin Abasi of Animals As Leaders? Guess what? Guitar World says you're wrong, it's Munky from Korn!

Geo·dissonance: the metal movement is proliferating to all corners of the globe. In its relentless display of vitriolic truths and the ugliest questions of existence, we can hear the resounding riffs of heavy metal in the most conservative pockets of society. As your Punjabi, riff-worshiping correspondent, I'vxe created Geodissonance to report the controversy: as metal [...]

In an effort to raise money for future releases, New York's own boutique extreme metal record label, Broken Limbs Recordings is selling some super rare cassettes, vinyl, and CDs via a Big Cartel shop they just set up. Most of this stuff is from the label owner's private collection and it's all offered on a [...]

We've covered Unlocking The Truth before, the group of 11 year olds decided to take over Times Square last week and play some jams, inlcuding this killer breakdown. Watch them shred the Star Spangled Banner. Update: The title of this video post was originally "11-Year-Olds Write The Most Brutal Breakdowns" but the breakdown is actually [...]

While many assume Baroness are still getting over their scary bus crash from last year, the band are ready to move forward. Even though two members quit the band, they have reassembled and released a new video diary announcing "here we are world, we're ready for you!"

Heyo! It's time to get your face promptly shredded off with the new Dillinger Escape Plan record courtesy of Pitchfork!
