Metal Injection

In all my years of writing about music (damn, it's almost a decade now..) never have I come across a tour routing as confusing as the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour. It's actually two (or maybe three) tours that run separately at some points and then intersect at others for mega-shows. I think? [...]

Looks like the clues were right! A few months ago Oceano said they were calling it quits and their last show would be at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Last week, clues popped up suggesting otherwise, including a scheduled show after the fest. The band has checked in over the weekend, confirming they [...]

A few months ago, Oceano announced they are over it and would be playing their last show at next month's New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Now comes so clues to the contrary. The investigative journalists at ThePRP have deduced it may not be over for the Chicago deathcore providers. They have a show scheduled [...]

What a crazy way to kick off the New Year. We are not even seven days in and already two bands have announced their end, and one replaced their iconic singer. Some other stuff happened as well. Here's what you missed: The biggest story of the week was Howard Jones leaving Killswitch Engage. There was [...]

Today was not a good day for Oceano. Vocalist Adam Warren posted on his Facebook wall "I'm shocked, but well… If Killswitch can go on after 9 years and 3 albums without Mr. Jones on vox…. Why couldn't a certain band with out me? (2 albums and a mere 3 years) Just sayin." That pretty [...]

The fine folks behind the New England Metal & Hardcore Festival got an early start on announcing the lineup for this year's event. The fourteenth iteration of the festival will go down from Friday April 20th until Sunday the 22nd, three days of metallic hardcore madness. There is a lot of variety on the bill [...]

I would personally like to thank whomever is in charge of the marketing budget of the video game Homefront, because they are clearly a metal fan. What else can explain them comissioning some of the heavy hitters of today's metal scene (As I Lay Dying, Dillinger Escape Plan, The Acacia Strain, Periphery among them) to [...]

The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is only two months away! It's all happening Thursday, April 14 through Saturday, April 16 and even more bands have been announced for the annual three day Worcester festival. Bands added include Times of Grace, Terror, Dying Fetus, Cephalic Carnage Blood For Blood, Winds of Plague, and more [...]

Things are kicking back into high gear, with several tours set to be announced in the coming weeks, including this new one. Carnifex and Oceano are teaming up for the "Names Mean Nothing Tour" along with The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza and Within The Ruins as support acts. The tour starts out in Los [...]

One of the staple American festival has announced the lineup. The New England Metal and Hardcore Festival will kick off Thursday, April 16th and run for three days straight until Saturday, April 18th. To say the lineup is diverse would be a massive understatement. Day one is primarily bands of the "crab core" variety, shifting [...]

Well, the votes have been tallied (thanks to Cancerscare for that) and the results are in! Here are the top albums of the year as decided by YOU, the Metal Injection junkies. We had an open forum thread where we invited everybody to submit their top 10 lists, and we combined everybody's for one definitive [...]

Click Here To Watch The Video Despised Icon STILL aren't broken up yet? What's the hold up guys?
