Injected was an American rock band, inspired by acts such as Helmet, Refused and Quicksand.
After forming in the mid-1990s by a group of high school friends and spending years gathering a strong following on the Atlanta rock scene, Injected released its major label debut, Burn It Black, on Feb. 26, 2002 on Island Records. The album was produced by another Atlanta native, former Marvelous 3 frontman and Rolling Stone noted producer Butch Walker (Sevendust, Rock Star Supernova, Avril Lavigne). Injected made a video for its first single, "Faithless," and the song became a top 20 single on modern and active rock charts, reaching as high as No. 3 on MTVs rock countdown. Album cuts such as "I-IV-V" and "Burn It Black" were also included on soundtracks for films such as The Fast and the Furious, Spider-Man, The Scorpion King, among others.
Injected spent years touring the country in support of the record, and played venues large and small with artists such as Local H, Saliva, Hoobastank, Greenwheel, Jerry Cantrell, Tommy Lee, Nickelback, Default, Sevendust, Incubus, Fu Manchu, Speeddealer, Damone, and Papa Roach. At the end of touring the US/Canada in 2002, guitarist Jade Lemons and Injected parted ways. Danny Grady (lead vocals/guitar), Steve Slovisky (bass), and Chris Wojtal (drums) played the remaining dates as a trio. Lemons went on to play with Kenna, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and other bands.
