Metal Injection

For all the crap I give Metallica about licensing their name and image for shitty things like ties, jigsaw puzzles and Monopoly games, I have to say I'm really excited about the just announced Metallica pinball game.

While this was a relatively slow news week, the big story was clearly Black Sabbath revealing their new album artwork and a snippet of new music. We got a bunch of great viral videos and some new photo posts including Lars being too cozy with his Metallica bandmates and rock stars without teeth! Here are [...]

My favorite current meme is Actresses With No Teeth, but why do celebrities have to have all the fun? I decided to delve into Photoshop and predict what some of our favorite metal musicians would look like without teeth. If you've ever wondered what Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield, Scott Ian, and more look [...]

2013 is turning out to be the year of the reunion, and now there's one more to add to that sweet list- Infectious Grooves.

Alice in Chains’ new album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, comes out May 28 and the band is in full promo mode. They just released a hilarious Funny or Die documentary mockumentary by filmmaker Alan Poole McLard. The short film looks at the new album, getting choice quotes from members of Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, [...]

The road from guitar god to second rate Ted Nugentesque celebrity troll is a long and winding one. No one knows this more than Dave Mustaine.

Metallica all dressed up as Lemmy in 1995 to help celebrate Lemmy's 50th birthday. Of course this wouldn't be the only time Metallica covered "Overkill.".

Each week on ‘Throwback Thursday’ we dust off a crucial but underrated album, without which heavy metal’s evolution would have turned out quite differently. This week we’re smashed, banged and walloped by the seminal New Wave of British Heavy Metal trio, Raven: self-proclaimed creators of “Athletic Rock” and twisted uncles to thrash.

Holy shit! In stark contrast to last week, the labels seem to be operating under the assumption that you have plenty of capital left over from your Spring Break partying, because they're seriously not fucking around with this week's releases. I know touring season is kicking into high gear but goddamn…
