Metal Injection's Complete Guide To Metal at SXSW 2011 [UPDATED]

South by Southwest is just over two weeks away and I'm pumped. This year, perhaps more than any year before it, there is an endless amount of metal shows going on each day. Metal is definitely very well represented this year at SXSW, and we will be there to cover it to the best of our abilities. We are even sponsoring a few shows! We have just updated this list to reflect recent announcements. If you can't make it to SXSW, come back March 16th – 20th for ongoing liveblogs from the event:

On Wednesday, we are sponsoring the Sumerian showcase featuring three bands we can't shutup about: The Faceless, Veil of Maya and Animals As Leaders. Upon A Burning Body will be kicking off the event with a bang (or a bass drop)

On Thursday, it's Full Metal Texas, the annual day-long event which always features killer acts. The entire lineup is finalized with performances from THEE RED CHORD ALL PIGS MUST DIE, BETTER LEFT UNSAID, ELYSION FIELDS, GOES CUBE, HULL, KVELERTAK, RWAKE, THE WORD ALIVE, TRAP THEM, UPON A BURNING BODY.

Also on Thursday, just announced is WSOU's killer showcase featuring the debut performance of T.R.A.M., who we just wrote about, The Faceless, Meek Is Murder, Ultragiest, Death on Two Wheels and Beta Wolf.

Friday is going to e ridiculous, with New England Metal Fest Does Austin crashing the party, with performances from The Acacia Strain, The Red Chord, Gaza, Trap Them, Within the Ruins, The Funeral Pyre and more.

Also, our very good friends at MetalSucks will be hosting a day party that Frank's band, Meek Is Murder is playing, along with MI super-favorites Wormrot and Kvelertak.

As if that wasn't enough, here is a full roundup of all the metal happenings over the four days of SXSW Music Fest, as cultivated by keepitwolfson in our SXSW thread in the forum:
