Madness, Music, Metal, and Mayhem were enjoyed by all the fans who came to Harvard and Stone, an LA Music Venue Icon in Hollywood, CA, on December 11, 2025.

Written by Don Marcelo

A huge turnout of crowd gathered on this evening. Fans danced, howled, moshed, and raged to the thunderous sounds of Metal Music. And it was loud and it was felt by the entire city and neighborhood around. Metal Makers have never been more powerful, kind, and magnanimous especially on this night with Metal Injection’s own Frank “Injection” Godla as the host for its annual charity with all the ticket proceeds go towards Toys For Tots. Not a whole lot to say except that this night was pure EPIC. Some of the biggest names in the world of Metal were here on this night from Ministry’s own Cesar Soto, Monte Pittman, and Roy Mayorga to Dragonforce’s own Alicia Vigil of Vigil of War to Mr. Frank Injection himself on drums. A fun filled evening of pure Metal Madness will always be remembered by everyone who came to this showcase. A big shoutout to Harvard and Stone’s own Adam Zurilla who I quote, “Don’t even ask…Show up!” And he’s talking about don’t ask to be on the guest list since there isn’t one. It’s for charity and it’s for the kids. Mic Drop. Enjoy some captured moments of some of the artists from this night. Happy Holidays Everyone.
