New England Metal and Hardcore Fest Adds DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Amongst Others To 2013 Lineup

New England Metalfest

When the New England Metal and Hardcore Fest announced their initial lineup a few weeks ago, it was already unfuckwithable. Anthrax (playing Among The Living), Opeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Hatebreed, Exodus, Shadows Fall…and others were already enough to get me excited.

Today, they announced the addition of a few new bands, including The Dillinger Escape Plan. (more…)

THE WEEKLY INJECTION: New Releases Out Today – 9/18

Devin Townsend - Epicloud LARGE

Well, we took a week off here at The Weekly Injection, (and by that I mean, I took a week off, and only the new Cryptopsy came out last week, and they're all Unspoken King and gay like now so nobody cares, so I don't want to hear your shit), but now we're back and we're back big. For obvious starters: Devin Townsend's highly-anticipated Epicloud has finally been unleashed (and I apologize in advance for hating everything you love, but someone has to do it). And that's not all; check out equally anticipated releases from Ensiferum and Haarp, along with an utterly crushing surprise from Italian-metallers Ufomammut. Here are all the new releases coming out today: (more…)

Album Review: ENSIFERUM Unsung Heroes

unsung-heroes

From the chilly Scandinavian homeland which they draw their inspiration, Ensiferum sits atop the heap of modern folk-metal bands. Along with other genre standbys Tyr and Eluveitie, Ensiferum have built their reputation with heroic lyrics, power-metal riffs, and raspy guttural vocals. And while their new album fails to let the band grow out of this mold, longtime fans of the band and the genre will be very satisfied with Unsung Heroes. Ensiferum also strikes me as a band who feels confident in the skin (or should I say loincloth?) they've chosen to wear , and from what I remember when I saw them in 2008's Pagan Fest (part of that year's New England Metal and Hardcore Fest), it is a mantle they carry with pride.  (more…)

GODFLESH reunite for France's Hellfest

My fellow Americans, the time is coming for us to buy plane tickets, catch a boat or start swimming to France. That's right, industrial metal innovators GODFLESH (kids: that's JUSTIN BROADRICK's band before JESU) are reuniting for an appearance at this summer's Hellfest, set for June 18-20, 2010 in Clisson. Oh yeah, you'll also be getting THE FACELESS, NECROPHAGIST, IHSAHN, SICK OF IT ALL, ENSIFERUM, DECAPITATED and that band with two original KISS members. The full confirmed lineup thus far is after the jump, but first enjoy some bootleg footage of Godflesh destroying a small club with "Christbait Rising" back in 1990. You now have seven months to learn how to scream "Fuck yeah!" in French.
