The Metal Injection Festival will be returning for its 20th anniversary with an all-new lineup at The Brooklyn Monarch & Meadows on September 21st and 22nd. The weekend event will host 31 bands on three stages for two full days of Rock and Metal that runs the gamut between Death Metal, Djent, Metalcore, Hardcore, Doom, Rock, Gothic Metal, Thrash, Industrial, Slam, and more.
The festival roster includes exclusive sets like the recently reunited God Forbid playing Gone Forever for the first time in its entirety, and 3 Inches of Blood reunited and performing on the East Coast for the first time in over a decade. There’s also the very special, commissioned world debut of the project Pallid Veil featuring Luc Lemay of Gorguts, Dave Davidson of Revocation, Liam Wilson of The Dillinger Escape Plan and In Flames, and Elliot Hoffman of Carbomb, as well as a special acoustic set by Stephen Brodsky and Adam McGrath of Cave In, and more.

Frank Godla, Metal Injection CEO and Fest Organizer comments:
Last year was an incredible way to kick things off for the Metal Injection Festival, and with this year being our 20th anniversary I decided to head back to our origins. This year, I bring this mammoth weekend to Brooklyn, NY, with a celebration it’s never seen.
The list of artists and special sets I curated for this are going to be something truly special, and I couldn’t be happier about how this shaped up. Even the smallest bands on this roster excite the shit out of me, and will be household names. So here’s your chance to see what they’re made of, the way I see them. I can’t wait to see y’all there!
