[3] Both had known each other in high school but did not reconnect until many years later, when Pasbani accompnied a friend to a job interview at a telecommunications company Godla worked at.

[2] Pasbani later approached Godla with the idea of establishing a public access TV show focusing on heavy metal, and the two formed a partnership.

[3] In 2010, six years after its launch, Metal Injection finally became a profitable operation, allowing Godla and Pasbani to quit their daytime jobs to focus solely on running the website.

[3][7] By 2012, the site had developed its own 24 hour radio network, Metalinjection.fm,[8] and expanded into audio podcasts (such as the weekly Metal Injection Livecast) and had an iPhone application.

[10][11][12] In May 2016, the site launched the "Taste of Metal" series with chef Brian Tsao, in which featured artists prepared meals inspired by their music.

[14][15] Between 2020 and 2021, Frank Godla organized the monthly Slay at Home "virtual music and art festival" series amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
