Metal Injection

Periphery haven't officially announced a new bassist since their former bassist Tom Murphy left a few months ago. Their good friend Nolly Getgood has been filling in, and has been with the band since the beginning so, seeing as though it's a few days before the release of their new album, Periphery decided to make it [...]

It's almost finally here! The Faceless haven't put out an album in four years, and people are waiting. Impatiently waiting! Guitarist/producer Michael Keene has been giving hints as to the sound and possibly the title of the record (working title is Autotheism), and according to a recent tweet, he's on the final lap of the [...]

Here is Between The Buried and Me guitarist Paul Waggoner telling a story of how he bet frontman Tommy Rogers to moon the crowd for 100 bucks. Well, watch the story to hear how it turns out and how Waggoner eventually paid out his end of the bet! Between The Buried and Me will be [...]

Four Metal Injection approved acts are hitting the road together this summer for a killer tour. First, we have The Contortionist, who are set to put out a new album, Intrinsic on Good Fight/E1 on July 17th (exclusive studio diaries here). We don't need to tell you about Jeff Loomis, and we've already showed you [...]

It's here! Your first full taste of what's in store from Periphery's sophmore album, Periphery II. You can stream "Make Total Destroy" above. I'm really digging the track, and particularly Spencer's vocals. The good cop/bad cop parts work, the fully clean parts sound great, and DAT DJENT RIFF! This song rules, basically. What do you think of [...]

Here it is, the first teaser or Periphery's sophomore release, Periphery II, which is set for release on July 3rd. We get a whopping two minutes of new material, a flashy logo, and a peek at the cover art. It sounds great so far.

Yesterday, we showed you the ad for the new Periphery album that has surfaced in the latest issue of Revolver Magazine, which states their highly anticipated sophomore release will be coming out July 3rd.  Today, the band confirmed to Guitar World that the release date is indeed true. They also confirmed that besides a guest solo from John [...]

One of the most visited posts on the site is something I posted almost two years ago titled "It Seems Bands Don't Make Money Off Touring Either" highlighting how even a band who is successfully touring is still losing out on money. Today, another perfect example of this predicament is Goatwhore. By metal standards, Goatwhore [...]

Summer seems ripe for touring, and there will be plenty of it. When it comes to metal tours, we already have Mayhem Festival, Summer Slaughter, Trespass America, and now a Shockwave tour. The tour will feature Fear Factory and Voivod co-headlining, along with Cattle Decapitation, Misery Index, Revocation, Havok, Dirge Within, Last Chance To Reason, [...]

Watch interviews and music videos from all the bands playing this year's Summer Slaughter! Finally! Finally! Finally! The promoters of the Summer Slaughter tour teased that today is the day they will be releasing dates. I know I'm pretty pumped to know when the stellar lineup of Cannibal Corpse, Between The Buried and Me, The [...]

Oh hell yes! Between The Buried and Me are one of the co-headliners of this year's Summer Slaughter fest, and just because they haven't been touring, doesn't mean they've been slouching. Bassist Dan Briggs is about to release a new CD from his jazz-fusion side project, Trioscapes, who totally floored me. Briggs was recently interviewed [...]

We already know pretty much the entire lineup, and we are pretty pumped for this year's Summer Slaughter tour. Today, we learn the first date! The organizers of the fest have announced via Facebook that the first date of the tour will be Friday, July 20th in LA. Clear your schedules, and get down and [...]

This has been an insane week for me personally. I got back from SXSW Sunday night and then went right back to the grind all week long. I can't wait for the weekend. I am ready to veg out. Here are some of the top stories and videos of the week: We posted new music [...]

UPDATE: Tour dates have been announced. Click here to see if this is coming to your town Of all the place you'd think would reveal the full lineup of this year's Summer Slaughter, I would have never guessed it would be the Rockstar Mayhem Fest Facebook page, but so it shall be. As it stands, [...]

Last week when Rob announced that Exhumed would be playing this year's upcoming Summer Slaughter Tour, he mentioned that Ben from Goatwhore jumped the gun to Musik Universe, and said that his band would also be performing. Ben wasn't lying. Tour organizers announced on the Summer Slaughter Tour Facebook page that Goatwhore will, in fact, [...]
