I'm thinking that this will be my last Weekly Injection for the year. This time of year is nothing but stuff being put out in time for Christmas and the albums labels bury for one reason or another. Anyway, this week is still pretty solid.
To the metals…
Groan – Ride The Snake EP 
Genre: Stoner
Origin: UK
Label: Superhot
Buy now on Amazon.com
These guys pride themselves on being "UK Reefer-based Riff Rockers," and I must say, it's pretty accurate. These guys clearly love weed and Sabbath.
Mastodon – Live At Brixton 
Genre: Progressive Sludge
Origin: Atlanta, Georgia
Label: Warner Brothers
Buy now on Amazon.com
Georgia's favorite prog titans are hitting the studio, but are keeping themselves in your mind with a live album. The set consists mostly of Hunter tracks which is fine, but half is older material, most of which hasn't been put out live yet. This is a digital only release, so don't go getting all excited at your local record store Tuesday for this one.
The Ocean – Collective Oblivion DVD 
Genre: Progressive Sludge
Origin: Berlin, Germany
Label: Metal Blade
Buy now on Amazon.com
The Ocean are a great live band. I've seen them a few times and each time they absolutely stole the show. The band is putting out a collective on live sets, documentaries, and other shit. Aside from the live footage, this one may be reserved for super fans.
Slaughterday – Nightmare Vortex 
Genre: Death Metal
Origin: Leer, Germany
Label: FDA Rekotz
Buy now on Amazon.com
What day is this? Why, it's Slaughterday! Do you have your Slaughterday sweaters on in preperation for this death metal assault? Because you should. Also it's a little chilling out. You'll catch a cold.
