> HATEBREED have tapped the legendary Vinnie Paul to produce, document, and record Hatebreed LIVE! during their Dallas, TX show at the Palladium Ballroom on May 27. The band's video for 'Never Let It Die' was also posted on Headbangers Blog.

> Our compadres at MetalSucks posted a great interview with Metal Injection advice giver, and all-around awesome dude, Greg Weeks of the Red Chord. Check that out here.

> 36 CRAZYFISTS' upcoming album, The Tide and Its Takers, is streaming in its entirety on the band’s official MySpace.

> DYING FETUS got a pretty sweet write up in the Washington Post Express. Imagine your mom opening the arts section to find an article about DF…awesome!

> BRUTAL TRUTH have posted a new track called Turmoil on their Myspace page, which sounds awesome. Its one of four new songs the band has recorded for an upcoming Relapse compilation called This Comp Kills Fascists

> A teaser for MESHUGGAH's Bleed video has made its way online, and it looks very awesome. Check it out here with additional stills from the shoot. I had a chance to speak with Mårten Hagström during the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival about the video, and he clued me in that the band had no time to shoot any performance for the video, so its all just narrative (story). The directors of the video, Mike Pecci and Ian McFarland, came to the band with a concept and the band gave them full control to shoot it. Sounds like its going to be awesome! If you haven't checked out our recent interview with drummer Tomas Haake, you probably should just click here.

> 36 CRAZYFISTS premiere of their new video for the track "We Gave It Hell" can be seen on the Headbanger's Blog. The clip was directed by Soren (All That Remains, Unearth) and comes from the band’s new album The Tide and Its Takers, which comes out May 27.

> GOD FORBID have posted the cover art from their upcoming DVD, Beneath the Scars of Glory and Progression. The band has also put up two live tracks from the DVD, ‘Broken Promise’ and ‘End of the World’ up at their Myspace page.

> DISTURBED will be holding a free "e-concert" streaming at DeepRockDrive.com
