L.A.'s own Saint Vitus are doom metal legends. "Why do they make life so hard/ when it's so damn easy?" is the central question of this new song. Judging by the difficulties being suffered by the people in this video, there is no easy answer. Director: Michael Panduro / Siegfried Productions. From the groups new [...]

Audio Roundup: New Music from SHADOWS FALL, SAINT VITUS, ISIS Frontman, Korpiklaani

Thursday is here and while I'm gearing up for Metal Night, here are the new tunes I'm listening to…

Shadows Fall are set to put out a new album, Fire From The Sky on May 15th and to kick things off, they have premiered the title track on Noisecreep. While I may not be the biggest Shadows Fall fan, I think this is a pretty killer track. Some of their heaviest stuff to date. (more…)

Attention, Stoners: Revelations of Doom

ARISE DESPAIR: UZALA

Welcome to Revelations of Doom, Metal Injection's portal into the seedy underworld of extreme metal. Your tour guide is, as always, Grim Kim, and this time around, I've got something for you that's colored a little lighter than the usual sludge fiends and black metal tyrants that populate this column.

Boise, Idaho isn't exactly the most happenin' city around. The Midwest is a fertile breeding ground for sweet metal bands (see: the Chicago scene as a whole, plus the Indianapolis-bred Coffinworm, Black Arrows of Filth & Impurity, and The Gates of Slumber to start) but I can't think of a single notable band that's come out of Boise (correct me if I'm missing someone obvious). Either way, cheers to Uzala for leading the charge! I discovered this doomed quartet on accident.

Of course my interest was piqued, and a few days later, Uzala's maiden voyage into the unknown showed up in my mailbox. My first thought was, "Whoa! Four songs in nineteen minutes? Slow down there, speed racer! Isn't this supposed to be doom?" (more…)
