How is this happening? Looks like low ticket sales, among other issues, have caused the promoters of Death To All to put the final two dates of the tour, in Atlanta and Dallas on hold for the time being. Death To All, as we've written about before, will feature former members of Death getting on [...]

Coined by producer/Hate Eternal frontman Erik Rutan, Alex Webster is the Steve Harris of death metal. Webster, one of the two remaining original members of death metal pioneers Cannibal Corpse, has been kicking ass for decades and shows absolutely no signs of stopping his signature, technical assault any time soon. I got a chance to [...]

Along with American juggernauts Cannibal Corpse and Sweden's Spawn of Possession, France's Gorod have helped finish off what has been one of the best months in death metal for some time. After the band's previous release, Process of a New Decline, the group found themselves with an overall more precise and musically demanding sound, but [...]

Wow, this Death To All tour just got so much more awesome. The tour, which will pay tribute to fallen Death frontman Chuck Shuldiener by playing some classic Death cuts with an all-star lineup of former Death members like Paul Masvidal and Gene Hoglan. As for vocalists, names are slowly trickling out. A few days [...]

Gorod have released a new track, “Carved in the Wind,” which you can hear above. This is technical death metal at it's finest if you ask me. The track comes from their highly anticipated new album A Perfect Absolution out May 8 via Unique Leader. As an added bonus, there is a jazzy solo by [...]

Five years is certainly a long time to wait in-between album releases, but when your material is as daunting, dense and brutal as Spawn of Possession’s Incurso, it makes complete sense. The band’s previous effort, the stunning Noctambulant, certainly lit a fire underneath the technical death metal community; further expanding their hyperspeed sound with a [...]

I'm about a week away from heading to Austin, TX for South By Southwest and damn it, I WISH IT WAS HERE ALREADY! I'm ready to party, go to shows, and possibly twist my ankle again. Hey, it's the life we lead! Anyway, as I amp up for South By, here is some new music [...]

This is always my favorite portion of the year-end recaps… the portion where we ask you, the Metal Injection junkies, to pick your favorite album. We asked you to submit your top 10 to this forum thread, and then we would tally the final results, by giving each album a reverse score (ie, a junkie's [...]

We were joined by two special guests on this edition of the Metal Injection Livecast, Justin Foley of The Austerity Program and our good friend Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks.

When I first began the thought process of this list I feared I wouldn't even be able to think of ten albums I liked. However, when browsing through my iTunes of all the releases that came out this year, I narrowed it down to far more than far more than 20 albums that I loved. So, a [...]

I offer these up with one of those typical "in no particular order" disclaimers.  That may seem chickenshit to some, but there are just too many disparate strands of metal these days to draw rational lines between whether, say, the best funeral doom album of 2011 was superior to the best progressive death album, for [...]

This month on the Relapse Records Podcast, we premiere exclusive tracks from Abysmal Dawn, Liberteer & Brutal Truth in addition to highlights from 2011 albums from Obscura, Toxic Holocaust, Revocation and many more!  As always, we have the latest updates, tour info, and Relapse artist news.  This month's interview is with the influential frontman of [...]

We get comments all the time from European junkies talking about how jealous they are of certain US tours that will never make it to their country. Well, now it's my turn to be jealous of you. We got an email this morning with an official announcement of pretty much the most broooootal tour package; [...]
