Metal Injection

Rob is back for this edition, Sean is out and Monica returns as a special guest. We start the show discussing Rob's standup a bit more, and then Rob talks more about the High Times party he was at least week. Smegma was discussed. We then spend too much time talking about MTV News correspondant [...]

Woohoo! Down drummer and Eyehategod guitarist Jimmy Bower married his girlfriend, Dana Kieferle over the weekend in New Orleans, so congratulations are in order. The ceremony was held at Audubon Zoo's swamp exhibit, which explains the mosquito net in the picture. The two flew to Saint Lucia in the Caribbean for their honeymoon, because you can do that [...]

A few weeks back we told you that the super awesome Eyehategod would be appearing on a future episode of HBO's Treme, which is a fictional show focusing on a post-Hurricane Katrina life. The shoot went down and this is what Williams had to say about the whole experience:

This edition of the Livecast was down to three, as it was only Rob, Noa and Sid. Sean was in Chicago for a wedding and Darren was out sick. We did manage to speak to Dave Mustaine who addressed all the Rick Santorum controversy, Noa talks about the back pipe, Sid is a contrarian and [...]

While Treme has aired for two seasons on HBO, I've only managed to catch the first, and it was brilliantly depressing. I genuinely felt bad for these characters, mostly because they were representations of real victims of Hurricane Katrina. And this show is all about being genuine. When it comes to metal musicans from the NOLA area, none [...]

I love me some Weekend Nachos, the band…not the nachos. Although who doesn't love nachos? With melted cheese! Mmmmm. Wait, this is about the band. GRIND! Right!! Weekend Nachos have announced a two week east-coast tour kicking off on January 16th in Cleveland, OH. If you're the type of person that likes to go to [...]

Not too long ago, I went over to Double-Down Saloon to celebrate Frank’s birthday with the rest of the crew from Metal Injection and MetalSucks. Amidst the smoke and the booze, there was one obvious question I had to ask everyone: what were some of your favorite records of 2011? Having posted their lists a [...]

It's been a few weeks since we've done any reflecting, but now we're back to our regularly scheduled reflection. The first week of December is over, and 2012 is just around the corner, but there was still quite a bit of metal happenings this week. Here is what you missed: At the beginning of the [...]

Rwake have never been the type of band to look at a wheel and decide it needs reinventing.  This is not a knock… music is pushed forward as much by the synthesists as the pioneers, and synthesists are exactly what Rwake are.  You'd never believe them if they claimed to have never heard a High [...]

Fun Fun Fun Fest has been going strong for six years in Austin, TX, and while not a strictly metal festival, this year certainly has some stellar heavy acts: Slayer, Danzig performing Danzig, Samhain and Misfits tracks, Doomriders, Eyehategod, Boris, Trash Talk, Cave In, Touche Amore and quite a few more. The fest happens November [...]

A few weeks after the tragic death of Anal Cunt frontman Seth Putnam, Decibel comprised a pretty solid number of big names in metal to pay tribute to the most offensive man in metal. Decibel got touching obits from the likes of Phil Anselmo, Mike Williams of Eyehategod and Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer all [...]

The Metal Injection Livecast returns this week with more random stories and a continuation of Mayhem Month. We start the show with Rob defending his honor about watching Gigolos. He also shares some stories about his trip to the sunset strip and the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. We also learn about experimenting Sean did with a girlfriend [...]

Apparently Texas is the place to be when it comes to heavy music these days.  First you guys get the only Ozzfest date in 2008.  You've already got to bear witness to the killer SXSW festival, and now Texans can rejoice at the arrival of Chaos in Tejas which will take place in Austin, Texas [...]

South by Southwest is just over two weeks away and I'm pumped. This year, perhaps more than any year before it, there is an endless amount of metal shows going on each day. Metal is definitely very well represented this year at SXSW, and we will be there to cover it to the best of [...]
