Metal Is My Life is the third studio album by fictional heavy metal band Massacration. Released on July 12, 2024 through Top Link Music, it is the band's first album of new material in 15 years following 2009's Good Blood Headbanguers.
In the aftermath of a four-year hiatus which lasted from 2012 to 2016, Massacration returned to active releasing the live album Live Metal Espancation and the singles "Metal MILF", "Motormetal" and "Metal Galera" between 2017 and 2020; in an interview for news portal Omelete promoting the music video for "Metal Galera", its director Felipe Torres, who also plays the band's fictional drummer "Jimmy the Hammer", claimed that he didn't rule out the possibility of Massacration releasing a new studio album in the future.[1] However, it wouldn't be until late 2023, following the release of two more singles (the eponymous "Metal Is My Life" and "Metal Warferas"), when vocalist Bruno Sutter officially stated that a new album was on the works.[2] On June 18, 2024, the album's name was confirmed to be Metal Is My Life,[3] and on July 8, the teaser single "Revenge of the Bull" was released.[4] On July 10, the album's cover art and track listing were unveiled.[5]
Originally slated to come out on July 13, 2024 (coinciding with the Brazilian holiday of World Rock Day and the one-year anniversary of the eponymous single),[5] the release date was at last minute moved to one day earlier, on July 12, due to what Sutter described as his "anxiety".[6]
