"Prelude To The Oracle" is the new video from the Japanese extreme-metal group SIGH. The video was directed by David Hall, who states about the video, "The first things [vocalist-saxophonist] Dr. Mikannibal sent me were a lyric sheet and the album artwork. Based on the artwork, lyrics, and music I came up with the concept. [...]

If you saw Phil Anselmo in the early '00s with the grossly underrated Superjoint Ritual, it was not a pretty sight. The guy was on stage, high as hell, and rambling on about anything and nothing, talking shit on everybody. It was a dark time for Phil, who has admitted to using heroin, opiates and [...]

I ran into Sacha Dunable of Intronaut a few weeks back at NAMM, and the first thing I mentioned to him was how much I admired the

Today is a big day for Randy Blythe and Lamb Of God. After being arrested in the Czech Republic this past summer, detained for five weeks and then released on 400,000 dollars bail, Randy Blythe is back in a Czech court day for the beginning of his trial. He is being charged with what amounts [...]

Watch more metal vids at http://metalinjection.net - We talk to Overkill frontman Bobby Blitz about the 25th anniversary of legendary thrash band, Overkill and how he has kept coming up with new material, how they prevailed in the music business and more insight.

Tuesdays usually suck. I mean, it's like we're deep in the week with no end in sight. We are going to try to make Tuesdays a little more bearable with the launch of our very own caption contest. Every Tuesday, we'll provide you with a silly metal-related photo and we'll ask you to leave a [...]

We've spoken previously on how if you're on Instagram, you really need to follow Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe. The man posts great photographs with insightful stories. With his big trial looming, Blythe opened up in a recent posting on the photo sharing service saying:

Last year was a big year for Killswitch Engage. They reunited with their original vocalist, Jesse Leach, recorded a new album and did a fuck-ton of touring. It looks like 2013 will be equally huge for the band as they have just announced the release of their new album, their first with Leech on the mic [...]

One of the valuable lessons you’d hope one might learn by traveling frequently is “never trust the weather” – especially in a climate so drastically different from one’s norm.

Bro… brofessional, really?! Jason Newsted is back in the public eye with his new band called Newsted (I think you can figure out how they got the name). They recently released a new track, and a full EP named Metal (in case you're wondering the genre of the music) comes out this Tuesday, January 8th. Newsted is giving interviews [...]

Of all of our Best of 2012 coverage, I look forward to the list created by you, the Metal Injection junkies the most. It is always eye-opening to see what music you, our loyal readers, have been moved by. A few weeks ago, we asked you to submit your top 10 albums of the year [...]

That's a headline I never thought I'd write. Former Pantera and current Down vocalist Phil Anselmo is an avid boxing fan. 50 Cent is a hip-hop superstar and also an avid boxing fan. Boxing Insider thought it would be a great idea for Phil to interview Fiddy.

Venomous Maximus – debuting on LP here after an independently released EP earlier this year - are 80's metal children, to be sure, but not the kind that grew up on the usual thrash or glam… NWOBHM-inspired doom by the likes of Candlemass and Witchfinder General. While other bands toiling in the genre are either content to mine the Sabbath [...]

One of the sights to behold when witnessing Cannibal Corpse live is the massive neck of frontman George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher. The man is built like a pro wrestler, and his wind-mill headbang is unfuckwithable. The man is a beast. Recently, Metal Hammer UK asked Fisher and his legendary neck and how it got so big:

Avenged Sevenfold are keeping plenty busy nowadays. They just released a new track for the new Call Of Duty video game, and appear at the end of the game after the credits roll to boot. They are also working on a new album, which they previously compared to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. The band [...]
