MINISTRY's 'Relapse' Will Be Streamed All Weekend Long - Crank It!

As we approach the official street date for the thirteenth album from industrial Metal purveyors MINISTRY this Monday, March 26th, fans worldwide can stream all eleven tracks of the mutinous album via Metal Injection all weekend at the link below.

Following a dozen full-length releases over the past thirty years, and recently ending a four-year hiatus, from deep in the heart of Hell Paso Texas, Al Jourgensen's MINISTRY rises against the political machine one more time with the release of Relapse, the album boasting some of the band's heaviest and fastest material in years, fueled by Jourgensen's disgust at the world that surrounds us. The album strikes out with the no-holds-barred album opening track "Ghouldiggers" aimed directly at the pitfalls of the industry he has survived over the years, from there segueing directly into one of the heaviest MINISTRY anthems in years with the crushing "Double Tap" attack. Jourgensen has rallied with the Occupy Wall Street movement over the past year and recently released the riotous video for the raging "99 Percenters," speaking out for the majority of the world's oppressed populations against corporate corruption. View MINISTRY's newly unleashed "99 Percenters" right now!



Cited as the driving force behind a cross-section of Metal genres from industrial Nine Inch Nails to Thrash artists Static X and Nu Metal’s Korn, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and receiving six Grammy Nominations for Best Metal Performance, multi-platinum selling artist Jourgensen returns with his greatest achievement to date with Relapse. The album will see worldwide release via Jourgensen's own Thirteenth Planet Records and AFM Records in conjunction with DisManic via E1 Distribution this "Metal Monday," March 26th, 2012.

Following the release of Relapse, MINISTRY will perform five major North American concerts this June -- Denver, Los Angeles, New York and two shows in Chicago -- as part of the DeFibRiLlaTouR 2012 World Tour. The band's touring lineup includes Al Jourgensen (Frontman/vox/guitars), Mike Scaccia (Ministry/Rigor Mortis) guitars, Casey Orr (Rigor Mortis) bass, John Bechdel (Ministry/Killing Joke/Fear Factory) keyboards, Aaron Rossi (Ministry/RevCo) drums and Sin Quirin (Ministry/RevCo) guitars. Soulfly bassist Tony Campos will not performing due to scheduling conflicts. Tickets for these first five shows are on sale now; check out the official MINISTRY Facebook for more info on tickets and VIP packages here.

SKELETONWITCH Premiere Music Video For "The Infernal Resurrection" & Are Hitting The Road Today!

Today Ohio Metal titans SKELETONWITCH unveil their brand NEW video for “The Infernal Resurrection” via Metal Injection.net. The song comes off latest album, 'Forever Abomination' which cracked the Billboard Top 200, as well as Decibel's Top 40 of 2011 and finds the band doing what they do best: slaying ears in the live arena.



Like Satan himself set loose in the hallowed halls of Heavy Metal, these Athens-based headbangers careen wildly through the music’s history, gleefully destroying and setting flame to every genre along the way, only stopping at the forefront of today’s Metal scene to look back and watch that fucker burn -- and then piss on the flames. No other band has tapped into the fire, fury, and frost of all things Metal like SKELETONWITCH. Released last October through Prosthetic Records, 'Forever Abomination' continues to raise eyebrows with its relentless, fuck-all attack. In an 8/10 rating of the record, Decibel Magazine named SKELETONWITCH, “one of the most likeable bands in Metal,” Terrorizer dubbed Forever Abomination a “masterclass in modern Metal,” Revolver noted its “bad-ass Thrash attack,” while Pitchfork championed the offering calling it “exciting, skilled, fist-pumping, true-to-life stuff…”

SKELETONWITCH return to the road today beginning with a warm-up show in Cleveland before joining forces with The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile and labelmates Hour Of Penance for a four-week tour that concludes at the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival. This marks the group's first North American tour action of 2012. The band will take a brief break before heading overseas for a stretch of Euro dates. Confirmed dates thus far are included below:

- 03/23: Cleveland, OH at Grog Shop
- 03/24: Grand Rapids, MI at The Intersection
- 03/25: Milwaukee, WI at Eagles Club
- 03/26: Minneapolis, MN at Station 4
- 03/27: Chicago, IL at Bottom Lounge
- 03/28: Omaha, NE at The Waiting Room
- 03/29: Denver, CO at Marquis Theatre
- 03/30: Salt Lake City, UT at The Complex
- 03/31: Las Vegas, NV at Extreme Thing (BDM only)

“The ‘work’ that you hold in your hands now is the work of a friend, who is also a ‘photo-grrrrrrr-apher,’ and who has captured the very essence of my career: hungry, gritty, hard, cold, impersonal, personal, and very personal. Also, the sensitive unseen side of me, which was somewhat of an anomaly with the public and left me an enigma to my peers.” — Dave Mustaine from the Foreword

FEAR FACTORY Records NEW Album Without A Drummer? Is Gene Hoglan Still In The Band?

The mystery behind whither or not drumming legend Gene Hoglan is still part of FEAR FACTORY, and whither he recorded drums on the bands NEW album 'The Industrialist' has come to an end. Recently, a reliable source close to the FEAR FACTORY camp told us that Hoglan is no longer part of FEAR FACTORY and that he did NOT record any drums for 'The Industrialist'. He also informed us that the drums on the NEW FEAR FACTORY were all programmed.

Last month, we asked Hoglan if he recorded drums on the NEW Fear Factory album 'The Industrialist' (slated to be released in late April via Candlelight Records). We also asked him if he plans on joining legendary Thrash Metallers TESTAMENT full time, whom with he recorded their upcoming album entitled 'The Dark Roots Of Earth' (set to be released in late April/early May via Nuclear Blast Records) and played drums on most of their recent series of tours with ANTHRAX and DEATH ANGEL. Here is what he had to say at the time.

"Right now I am taking things day by day. Sometimes you really have to be careful with what you wish for."

When we recently spoke with TESTAMENT's frontman Chuck Billy, we asked him what the bands drummer situation is. Here is what he had to say about this:

"We'd like him (Gene Hoglan) to be, but I think right now we're just taking it tour by tour. We don't know yet. We just kind of unexpectedly had to do this tour before the record came out, so we haven't really thought about it yet."

30 Years Ago IRON MAIDEN Changed Heavy Music History With The Release Of 'The Number Of The Beast'

'The Number of the Beast' is the third studio album by the British heavy Metal legends IRON MAIDEN, released on March 22, 1982. The album saw the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson, and the final appearance of drummer Clive Burr in the band.

'The Number of the Beast' met with considerable critical and commercial success and was a landmark release for the band, becoming their first album to reach No. 1 in the UK albums chart, and be certified platinum in the US. The album also produced the singles "Run to the Hills" and "The Number of the Beast", the former of which was the band's first top-10 UK single. The album was also controversial – particularly in the US – due to the religious nature of its lyrics and its artwork.

Since the release of 'The Number of the Beast' and its subsequent tour, The Beast on the Road, "The Beast" has become an alternate name for Iron Maiden, and was later used in the titles of some of their compilations and live releases, including 'Best of the Beast' and 'Visions of the Beast'.

PARADISE LOST Premiere Music Video For “Honesty In Death”!

Gothic metallers PARADISE LOST are well known for their intense videos from their two previous albums. "The Enemy" from the 2007 album 'In Requiem' was shot on the Crimea peninsula and caused some problems with TV companies due to the execution scenes. The video for the title track of 'Faith Divides Us, Death Unites Us' from 2009 was even more disturbing with its scenes of physical and emotional abuse. The brand NEW "Honesty In Death" video from the band's upcoming album, 'Tragic Idol', keeps this tradition. Watch the NEW video below.

Greg Mackintosh (guitar) comments: "We are very excited about the premiere of our 'Honesty In Death' video. In my opinion it is the best video we have ever done. Matt Green, who I had previously worked with on the VALLENFYRE 'Cathedrals of Dread' video, directed it. He did such a great job with VALLENFYRE that we knew he would be able to do something really special for PARADISE LOST. The result is a very powerful, but very grim short film with brief cameos by the band, that is sure to resonate with people who see it."



PARADISE LOST's upcoming album, 'Tragic Idol', is scheduled for a worldwide release through Century Media Records on April 23rd in Europe and April 24th in North America.

DevilDriver Bassist Aaron "Bubble" Patrick Leaves The Hospital Following Near Death Experience - Statement From DEZ FAFARA Available!

As previously reported, DevilDriver bassist Aaron "Bubble" Patrick was hospitalized with pneumonia. After undergoing a series of tests, he was diagnosed with Streptococcus Pneumonia (a very serious condition). As a result, he is not part of the 2012 "Metalliance Tour" with his band DevilDriver. "Bubble's" former Bury Your Dead bandmate Chris Towing, is filling in for "Bubble"!

Yesterday (March 21), we had the chance to talk with DevilDriver's own Dez Fafara about "Bubble's" health status. This is what he had to say about it.

"Bubble left the hospital today, but needs to get a lot of rest following this terrible illness. Our concern right now is that "Bubble" fully recovers... when he arrived at the hospital the situation was very serious. It was touch and go for a few days. His mom was told that he might not make it. We in DevilDriver need to reassess the entire situation and see how we are going to do things in the future. I was surprised that "Bubble" suffered this illness, he is the fittest member of the band... He doesn't drink, he is straight edge. I think he may have caught the illness on the airplane when we were flying back from Australia. You never know if the person next to you is sick or not. I am very happy that "Bubble" is pulling through!"

We wish "Bubble" a quick and healthy recovery! Please kepe sending him your Metallic vibes!
