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. ... The post New England Metal and Hardcore Fest Adds DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN Amongst Others To 2013 Lineup appeared first on Metal Injection .
Other additions include Alleageon, Alpha & Omega, Antagonist A.D., and bands whose name does not begin with the letter "A."
Whoa, it's been a little while since my last update... things have been insanely busy as of late but once the new year comes I promise you'll see the regular updating again. Still, as busy as I may have been, I always find time for a good hardcore show, so last night I headed out to The Barbary to check out old time favorites Ignite, Mother of Mercy, and Ensign.Ensign:Unfortunately I
Not too long ago, I went over to Double-Down Saloon to celebrate Frank’s birthday with the rest of the crew from Metal Injection and MetalSucks. Amidst the smoke and the booze, there was one obvious question I had to ask everyone: what were some of your favorite records of 2011? Having posted their lists a ...
Happy birthday, Reign in Blood! We love you. You don't sound a day over one. Here's some other things that happened this week which are worth celebrating: We started the countdown to The Metal Suckfest. We debuted new music by Immolation and a new video by Early Graves. Devin Townsend and Textures' Jochem Jacobs and Bart Hennephof took [...]
"Today kinda sucked," Bob Wilson laments as the sun begins to set over Philadelphia. His band, Mother Of Mercy, had wrapped their far-too-early set at This Is Hardcore 2011 a couple of hours before, and a self-effacing form of Monday Morning Quarterbacking had been set in motion. "Nails and Ringworm were after us, so we [...]
In a scene where yearly festivals are as abundant as they are sweaty, This Is Hardcore has emerged as the leader of the pack, unequivocally the most anticipated of all hardcore music events in America. Combining coveted reunions with plentiful appearances by modern acts big and small, the event brings revelers and pit beasts to [...]
Atlanta, GA-based hardcore act Foundation has announced a May/June tour. Joining them on much of the run will be Mother of Mercy, Xibalba, and Dead in the Dirt. Click below for the dates. The band's new album When The Smoke Clears is due out on May 3 via Bridge Nine Records .
Another good release day for metal! This week sees the release of the latest from DM titans Ulcerate, as well as the debut solo album debut from the already-legendary Bruce Lamont. Our previews of those releases and others coming out this week after the jump. Bruce Lamont – Feral Songs for the Epic Decline (At [...]
Some of you don't quite get what I mean when I refer to "metallic hardcore" here. One listen to Pennsylvania's Mother Of Mercy will hopefully put your confusion to rest. Entirely removed from that bastard known as metalcore, this band's imminently available record IV: Symptoms of Existence thrashes and rages much like what you call [...]
Though the year has only just begun, it's never too early to start speculating about and dissecting this year's hardcore festivals. The organizers behind the Black N Blue Bowl have already announced a date-May 28th-and are boasting of a lineup worthy of pants-shitting. Given last year's Supertouch and Yuppicide reunions as well as co-headliners Cro-Mags [...]

Photo: Brian Reilly One June 14th, Bridge 9 mentioned that Mother of Mercy was heading into the studio to record their debut album. I am hoping by now this is at least in the process of being mastered. If you check out the tour dates below, it seems like the new album may potentially drop between This is Hardcore and the start of their Fall tour. Dates and video below. "Pennsylvania's MOTHER OF MERCY will enter the studio today to record their yet-to-be-titled debut album for Bridge Nine. [...]

While northern New Jersey folks are inching down the parkway in search of crowded beaches, dingy nightclubs and exorbitantly-priced rental homes, the few, the proud, will be attending the Terror , G ravemaker , Naysayer , Foundation , Backtrack and Suburban Scum show at Dingbatz on Friday, June 2nd at 6PM. Terror just recently let Metalsucks.com peep their new track, "Stick Tight" off of their newest album, "Keepers of the Faith", which is set to drop on September 14th. Foundation, who just recently played the Warren American [...]
If you're one of those people who read this site every day (God bless you, you fucking masochists!), you may have noticed a lack of premium content from yours truly these past couple of weeks. That's because I've been in Japan soaking in neon, dining on fresh sushi, and recoiling in horror at the [...]

Foundation & Backtrack are currently in the middle of their US tour, which kicked off May 14th in [...]
Earlier this week, the organizers behind Virginia's annual United Blood festival announced a preliminary list of the bands scheduled to perform at its fourth installment, which runs once again at Alleykatz in Richmond from March 26th through the 27th. For lovers of hardcore young and old, the lineup should seem damn impressive. In no apparent [...]
Now ten years since originally forming, The Hope Conspiracy is still killing it. The band's latest release was this year's True Nihilist, a killer three-song EP showcasing the savage yet smart hardcore that we've come to expect from the band. No official word yet on when we'll see a proper (and overdue) full-length [...]
From Six Feet Under Records comes "III", which I believe is the debut full-length from Pennsylvania's Mother of Mercy, who I assume is named after the Samhain song (a much better choice than "Human Pony Girl" would've been). The cover art was also done by E. from Watain. ...
Deathwish Inc. continues its trend of being the only hardcore label worth paying attention to; this month they've teamed up with the Malfunction and Six Feet Under labels to bring their early 2009 sampler of the best active talent on their roster. In addition to tracks from recently released albums by Trap Them, Victims, Supermachiner, [...]
