This year's Rockstar Mayhem Fest came to a close toward the end of August, and Metal Injection sat down with a few talented and insightful members of the fest's varied lineup. Included are drummers Dave Lombardo of Slayer and Paul Mazurkiewicz of Cannibal Corpse -- two long-standing and highly significant bands in the metal world...

I've always maintained that animals like metal. I remember years ago, when Opeth's 'Blackwater Park' first came out, my cat Dante would always fall asleep when I'd put it on, regardless of how loud the volume was -- Iced Earth, Strapping Young Lad, Theory in Practice and Dillinger Escape Plan also worked...

Metal Blade's Brian Slagel isn't some 'suit' making decisions behind a big desk in a corner office. He's a metal fan done good, and chances are you'll see him at a metal show, decked in a black T-shirt sporting the logo of one of the bands signed to his label...

Ryan Knight from the Black Dahlia Murder is currently on the road with the Rockstar Mayhem Fest. He's chimed in from the early days on the road, and now here's even more 'metal minutia' for you. Scranton, Pa. Well, here we are, Scranton, Pa. ...

The Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest differs vastly from Ozzfest, the decade-old, quintessential metal summer that it supplanted last year. On Mayhem, the bands don't perform until 2 PM -- as opposed to 10 AM -- so the 2-on-the-dot roar of Tennessee's Whitechapel was a perfect way to start the day...

Not too many fans of melodic metal band the Autumn Offering are also into deathcore outfits like Whitechapel and Winds of Plague. However, the band's label, Victory Records, is also home to deathcore acts like Emmure, Carnifex and Wretched...

We're typing slower than usual today, thanks to a little skateboarding accident we were involved in yesterday. Today, it feels like we were caught in a Hatebreed moshpit for ten hours. We were coasting down 8th Avenue on our longboard when a delivery truck cut us off and slammed on its brakes...

The best part of going to the Rockstar Mayhem Fest is undoubtedly the stellar lineup of bands you get to witness for the great ticket price. But anyone who has been to an all-day music festival knows how hard it can be to take the sun and heat after a few hours...

A touring band's work is never done. Whitechapel checked in with Noisecreep while on their tour bus, en route to the first dates of the second annual Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest. The band was in Reno, playing a warm up show. Guitarist Alex Wade told Noisecreep, "We've been riding on this bus for about five days making our trek across the U...
