When you create something this fucking awesome, you have to give yourself some time to prepare. That is why details have been announced seven months in advance for Philip Anselmo's inaugural Horrorcore Horror Film Festival, which takes place this October in Austin, Texas.

Not only will Eyehategod and Crowbar be performing during the festival along with Down, Warbeast, and Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals, but influential Mayhem frontman Atilla Csihar will be performing a soundtrack, so to speak, during a special screening of the silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Here's the full details: (more…)

Phil Anselmo Discusses Being Off Hard Drugs For Eight Years

Phil Anselmo

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 other pain medication in the past and with the death of his friend, Dimebag, he eventually cleaned up, and now only drinks alcohol and smokes weed.

In a new interview with The Examiner, Phil discusses the Down song "Nothing In Return" and his half-sobriety: (more…)

Drew Zalucky's 25 Best of 2012 List

Metal-Injection-Best-of-2012

2012 will not see end of the world, or extreme music for that matter. However, if this was the end of Metal and Hardcore as we know it, the year 2012 would make quite a grand finale. So many great records came out this year that I decided to stretch this article to a more obnoxious comprehensive list of 25. If it weren’t for the amazing power of Spotify, I don’t know how I would have kept up. As with my list last year, this list is unordered, as agonizing over competing slots for #9 and #10 would miss the point of the exercise. The point being: out of all the music I heard this year, the records listed below represent what I enjoyed the most. I hope some readers get some benefit from seeing this list and check out some records they may have missed, or that others will have some to name that I may have overlooked myself.

By the way, if you have Spotify you should check out my Best of 2012 Playlist, or the shorter 2012 Sampler! (more…)

DOWN Shoot "Witchtripper" Video, Wear Awesome Costumes

Down Witchtripper video

UPDATE: The video has been released and can be seen here.

Can Down just wear these outfits all the time? MetalSucks got their hands on some photos from the shoot for the track "Witchtripper" and look at these mofos, they look amazing. Kirk Windstein never looked better. Do you think he dresses like that regularly, and just showed up and the director was like "Oh, you're good?" That's what I'd like to think. After browsing through the photos, I found the scariest part of the shoot. Be careful, this next photo might haunt your dreams… (more…)
