Metal Injection

Metallica are a money making machine! In the last few months, we've learned how much both James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich are currently worth, but you know the old saying… it takes money to make money. While the band didn't do much extensive touring in the United States, they did do the European summer festival [...]

This past Sunday's edition of the Metal Injection Livecast was graced by two metal gods in the form of the legendary Phil Anselmo (Down, Pantera) and Warbeast/Rigor Mortis frontman Bruce Corbitt. A multitude of topics were discussed, including their split EP coming out tomorrow, War of the Gargantuas, and here are some excerpts:

This was a huge episode of the show! We had legendary vocalist Phil Anselmo and Warbeast/Rigor Mortis frontman Bruce Corbitt call in at the end of the show. They discussed their new split EP, coming out this week, War of the Gargantuas. They also took calls from fans and broke the news that there will [...]

Commence the spraying of loads upon loads inside your pants! Corrections House, a new all-star group comprised of Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Scott Kelly (Neurosis), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium) and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) are launching their new project on the world of heavy music with a tour of the east coast set to kick off on January 21st. 

This is quite an interesting development. Moments ago, Anthrax released a statement saying longtime guitarist Rob Caggiano has left the band. Here is their statement in full:

I never know how to type these things, because I never prepare for this shit. Ministry and Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia died over the weekend during a performance in Ft. Worth, Texas. Rigor Mortis was performing at The Rail Club on Saturday night (December 22) when Mike collapsed during the sixth song of the [...]

A few months back, we posted about the richest drummers in rock and were surprised to learn that Dave Grohl outgrossed Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. Well, that same site, Celebrity Net Worth composed a list of the richest frontmen in music, and guess what? Dave Grohl out-earned Metallica frontman James Hetfield and Guns N Roses [...]

I've always found the practice of naming such a strange and fascinating concept. Today more than ever we put such a huge importance on finding the right name for things be it a nick name, stage name, band name, or even a profile user name. I'm sure at some point in your life you've even [...]

Just over five months ago Black Sabbath, the band who the term ‘heavy metal’ was coined for, played their first hometown show in Birmingham in thirteen years. Tonight, their friends and fans in New Orleans super-group Down, rolled into ‘The Workshop of the World’ as a headliner themselves, of a completely sold-out show and with [...]

Distressingly, the majority of Yakuza reviews still focus heavily on the alchemical influence the Chicago music scene has had on the band – noise rock, jazz, and industrial all writ large in the Windy City corpus – which is not so much erroneous as unfair, a fundamental if indeliberate underselling of what Bruce Lamont and his [...]

Iron Maiden has been going for quite a while, over thirty years in fact. The band have seen a resurgence recently, putting out some great albums and getting rave reviews for their recent live shows on their Maiden England tour. But the band is getting up there in years, and you have to wonder how [...]

It's always fun (and slightly depressing) to see these list of XX Richest XXX Stars, usually done by Forbes. Today, a site called CelebrityNetWorth.com (the fact that this site exists is a blog post on it's own) released a list of the 30 richest drummers in the world. Obviously, Ringo Starr came it at number [...]

When we last checked in with the Bill & Ted 3 project, the original writing team was back on staff and a plot was conceived. Everybody was really hopeful that this would get off the ground and today another good sign has appeared, there is a director attached to the movie. Dean Parisot, the man [...]

The scholarly Bruce Dickinson is quite a confident man, some might even call him egotistical. To put it bluntly: Bruce doesn't take shit from anybody. Case in point, at a recent show in Indianapolis on Iron Maiden's "Maiden England" tour, while the band and Bruce were putting on the show of their lives, the Maiden [...]

Being one of the best vocalists in metal, we asked 3 Inches of Blood frontman, Cam Pipes to compile a list of his favorite vocalists. Here's what he sent over: "It should be noted that these are listed in no particular order as I can't pick a favorite nor can I rank any of them [...]
