The Skinny

Heavy Metal Music is the only studio album from heavy metal band Newsted. The album was released on August 6, 2013. It is the first Newsted release to feature guitarist Mike Mushok who joined the band following their debut release EP, Metal (2013). The album is the band's only full-length release, since bassist Jason Newsted "shut down" the project in early 2014.

The band finished pre-production of the album in March 2013, and finished recording sessions in April. The album title, track listing and artwork were unveiled on June 4, 2013, along with the album's first track, "Heroic Dose". The album features two songs, "Soldierhead" and "King of the Underdogs", from their debut EP, Metal. On July 18, 2013, Newsted premiered a second track, "Ampossible". On July 25, 2013, Newsted released an official lyric video for the song "Above All".
