The first-ever ‘Metal Injection Festival‘ has been announced for this September. The planned inaugural event will be held across two stops in two separate cities this September in the Orange County, CA area.
Several special sets are planned, including Fear Factory performing material from their acclaimed albums “Demanufacture” and “Obsolete” and the Cavalera brothers revisiting their Sepultura past with “Morbid Visions” and “Bestial Devastation” sets.
Metal Injection founder Frank Godla commented:
“I’ve always dreamed of having my own festival as a kid, I mean what metal head hasn’t!? I even wrote it down on a future goal plan for Metal Injection in the early days. When my Slay At Home virtual fest really took off during the pandemic, and reached communities in over 60 countries, it suddenly seemed possible, even overdue.
Today, I bring you the first ever Metal Injection Festival. Two days days of killer bands ranging from thrash, death, industrial, hardcore, and more from legendary names to the ones worth discovering. We’ll also have some really sweet giveaways, a learning area for amazing causes I believe in, and special setlists including the legendary Max & Iggor Cavalera performing Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation records in entirety, and Fear Factory celebrating their game changing Demanufacture and 25th anniversary of Obsolete with us!
Every new endeavor has to start somewhere, and I couldn’t be more stoked to have this group of amazing bands be part of MI history!”
