DEVILSTONE OPEN AIR, JULY 17-19TH, 2009 – ANYKSCIAI, LITHUANIA
DEVILSTONE OPEN AIR will be launched this summer
Devilish music on the bank of Sventoji [„holy“ in English] river: three days of metallic uproar and head banging feast together with the grand’s of metal scene, headlined by none others but SEPULTURA – that’s what expects the respectable audience on July 17-19th, 2009 in Lithuania.
Already confirmed:
SEPULTURA [Brazil, modern thrash metal]
SINISTER [Netherlands, technical death metal]
CODE [England/Norway, nostalgic black metal]
TRAUMA [Poland, death metal]
AZARATH [Poland, death metal]
FRAILTY [Latvia, doom/death metal]
OBTEST [Lithuania, pagan metal]
NAHASH [Lithuania, occult black metal]
LUCTUS [Lithuania, thrashing black metal]
More bands will be announced shortly.
The debuting edition of Devilstone Open Air festival will take place this summer in one of the most impressive corners of the Baltics – small but cute, cozy and historical Anyksciai town. Some may know the place as a hometown of Lithuanian blasphemers Dissimulation, but that’s just one of the coincidences, intentional or not. Small town has far richer cultural background with a string of essential Lithuanian writers and poets of the past, native residents of Anyksciai, as well as mythological and touristic places all around, one of which – forests’ surrounded Dainuva valley – will host the epicentre of the fest.
The Devil Stone name is taken from nowhere else but an ancient legend about the devil, who has been carrying the huge Puntukas stone in order to crush the local church, however at the break of dawn he has lost the heavy stone, and mission hasn’t been accomplished…
Festival mission is far more reaching: beside the core of it all – three big metal concerts, it will offer a rich cultural program as well for those striving to hide from the matrix & seeking for the alternative action. Night “Rockthèque”, coordinated by professional DJs will please people into the proto hard rock and metal classics, as well as those, who’d better stay awake all the night and day long!
Camping ground will be based right there behind the river. Swimming parties, football, fresh air – overall place is grateful for natural attractions.
But the main interest is of course the music. Festival will feature over twenty performers of various metal kinds from the entire world, occupying the stage for two night shows and one evening show.
Attention! There are still four vacant places left to fill in for the most perspective, talented bands, thus the organizers keep selecting from the applicants. For those interested to apply, please contact tadas@devilstone.net for further instructions. Usually a link to the band’s myspace page or a link to an mp3 track on the internet is enough.
Tickets to Devilstone Open Air are on sale already, by Tiketa ticket service.
The direct link is: Tiketa or https://www.tiketa.lt/Show.aspx?EvnID=2681&ShowID=8684&LngID=EN.
First limited tickets are priced at mere 90 LTL / 26 €!
Further on tickets will cost 100 LTL/29 €, 120 LTL/35 €, 140 LTL/40 € and 150 LTL/43 €.
Festival organizers openly welcome to try and taste the Lithuanian hospitality, spiced with Devil’s frolic!

STORMENTAL's vocalist Alexei Leão is working as producer of "Presages...", new album of the brazilian veteran death metal trio KHROPHUS, and comments about the experience of working on the band's second album.
"Presages... the new Khrophus' album is already being mixed. I'm involved with the band since the pre-production process. We did everything as it should be, being calm and with no hurry in studio. I personally made sure that every step of the songs' playing and recording were made the best as possible and I can tell that we are getting a killer result. The production will be amazing."
Khrophus vocalist/bassist Alex Pazetto sounds confident and adds: "The whole production work was made by Alexei since the beginning, and even before recording "Presages...". Our intention was to make him comfortable to make an unique work, with Khrophus' identity. In the same way, Alexei made us comfortable in his studio, we worked calmly, following his instructions, so that the final result could be pleasant for both of us. It's being great to work with a producer like him. He understands Khrophus' music and we are sure that this album will be exactly how we want it."

El debut discográfico de los noruegos Inquested es toda una vuelta hacia atras en el tiempo que nos remonta a finales de los ochenta y principios de los 90, cuando el thrash metal estaba en su pleno apogeo. El grupo recupera la esencia del estilo y el sonido de grupos como Metallica, Forbidden, Megadeth o Exodus, aun siendo estas refencias ya de por si válidas, la musica de Inquested va mucho más alla y a lo largo de los cortes se van descubriendo nuevos matices, como algunas influencias del death metal de Arch Enemy o Carcass y del heavy metal más clásico. Una base ritmica impecable, voces tanto melódicas como alguna otra más desgarrada y una técnica musical envidiable con unos solos rapidisimos y perfectamente ejecutados, todo esto hace de The Red Chambers una pieza unica. Con este disco una vez que empiece a sonar en tu reproductor de musica no podrás parar de mover la cabeza y sus canciones se quedarán para siempre grabadas en tu cerebro. Un debut de 24 kilates. / The debut album of the norwegian outfit Inquested is a truly comeback in time that brings to late eighties and early nineties, when the thrash metal movement was in the top. The band recovers the style's essence, the aggressiveness and melody from bands like Metallica, Forbidden, Megadeth or Exodus, the band don't stops here and along the track's passing new elements are discovered like some death metal influences a la Arch Enemy or Carcass and classic heavy metal feeling. Precise rythm section, clean vocals and some harsh ones, and an amazing musicianship level, all this makes The Red Chamber a unique piece. Once this album start to play in your stereo will make yourself fall into nervous headbanging and the songs will be carved into your brain forever. A 24 kilates debut.

Suecia, y más concretamente Gothenburg, se ha caracterizado por ser una de las escenas más activas dentro del panorama underground mundial. De esa fria ciudad emerge Speedfreaks, para convertirse en una nueva punta de lanza, pero alejandose de ese sonido tan característico llamado "Sonido Gothenburg". El grupo regresa en su segundo trabajo con un rock'n'roll más maduro, personal y enérgico, cuya base musical se encuentra en los sonidos de grupos como Motörhead, Black Label Society, Black Sabbath y The Cult entre otros, pero consiguiendo un sonido propio y original, basado en una mezcla entre rock'n'roll, hard rock, y un poco de metal y punk. Rock'n Roll en estado puro, lleno de fuerza, agresividad, buenas melodías, temas pegadizos llenos de excelentes riffs y una magnífica versión del "Somebody to roll" de los Nazareth. / Sweden, and concretely Gothenburg have been one of the most actives scenes in the rock and metal world. From this cold city arise now Speedfreaks to become in one of the local rock icons, although with a music far from the so-called "gothenburg sound". The band is back in this second album with a more mature, personal and powerful sound, that take roots in bands as Motörhead, Black Label Society, Black Sabbath and The Cult among others, but obtaining their own and original sound, based in a mixture between rock'n'roll, hard rock, plus some touches of metal and punk. High energy and pure Rock'n Roll, plenty of power, aggressiveness, good melodies, catchy songs full of brilliant riffs and an excellent cover of Nazareth´s "Somebody to roll".

SUSPERIA - SINGERS OPERATION A SUCCESS DESPITE FURTHER COMPLICATIONS
OSLO, NORWAY: Despite further complications SUSPERIA singer Athera (Pal Mathiesen) successfully underwent open heart surgery on Monday 16th March 2009 at Rikshospitalet University Hospital, Oslo, Norway. Originally scheduled to have a triple by pass operation, surgeons discovered further problems which resulted in the vocalist also having a main artery - which previously ran to his lungs - connected directly to his heart. Athera will remain in hospital to recuperate and has been advised by doctors that full recovery will take between three and five months.
Still in some agony from his ordeal and in reflective mood, Athera said: "Wow - Well what happened there!! It looks like this time my name wasn't on the guest list at the pearly gates or the other place down below. I got through the surgery and I'm now back in the regional hospital after five days at the specialist heart clinic. Here in my hospital bed I'm contemplating the enormity of what happened - the what if's and the what might have been. I'm in agony but the strong medication helps. It was a heavy operation having my body parts re-arranged - If a musician ever needed a "TUNE UP" I hope this was it. There are some tough times ahead but I will get there in the end."
Commenting further on the messages of support and with an eye on the future he added: "I'm truly amazed at peoples humanity at times like this, with all the good will messages I've been getting from friends and strangers. Once again the metal community comes through with flying colours, putting their prejudices aside to come together as one. Respect to those who took the time to send messages of support. It's heart-warming to get messages from metal heads who don't have the time of day for my band yet still find the time to send a message.You all helped me get through this, and strengthened my metal heart! I will be out of the game for a while till my chest bones completely heal and I can sing fully again. I wish my boys a good trip round the UK in May on the tour, and am confident they will bring along a singer that will make the show worth while for you. I wish I could be there, "
As previously reported, SUSPERIA have confirmed the postponement of Norwegian dates, which were set for April 09. Their UK tour in May with Breed 77 will go ahead at the insistence of Athera himself., having urged the band not to let their UK fans down and to look at finding a replacement vocalist.
The release of SUSPERIA's next studio album is set for early summer as planned, through Candlelight Records. Full details will be announced shortly.
MERAUDER: New York hardcore/metal veterans MERAUDER have inked a deal with Sweden's Regain Records. The band's new album, "God Is I", is scheduled for release on June 19. Vocalist Jorge Rosado says, "This is one of the most important and brutal records we've ever worked on and it's all worth it!!!"
SACRED OATH — Rob Thorne (vocals, guitar), Bill Smith (Guitar), Scott Waite (bass), and Kenny Evans (drums) — has just signed an exclusive European distribution/publishing deal with CMM Marketing in Hannover Germany for their new studio album, "Sacred Oath". The CD will be released on May 22 via H'Art Musik/SAOL. Both the standard AND the deluxe editions of the album will be marketed throughout Europe by CMM, a company best known for their work with IRON MAIDEN, HALFORD, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, OVERKILL, METAL CHURCH, the Wacken Open Air festival, and more.
Los Angeles thrashers ANGER AS ART will enter the studio in May to begin recording their new album, "Disfigure", tentatively due this summer via via Old School Metal Records.

Metal Blade Records announces signing of Boston Mass act RAVAGE!
Metal Blade Records is pleased to announce the addition of Boston Massachusetts metalers RAVAGE to its roster. The heavy metal band RAVAGE began as the idea of two young brothers from Boston Massachusetts, whom fans would come to know as Al Ravage and Eli Joe, who wished to form a band that could bring bombastic heavy metal back to prominence and crush the insipid alterna-grunge music craze of the mid-90's. Though the barely-highschool aged rockers had mighty ambitions when they played their first gig in 1996, they quickly learned that Rome was not built in a day, and RAVAGE had to work on honing their sound and forging their way through the local underground metal scene. Now in their early 20's RAVAGE is ready to show the metal world what they're made of with their Metal Blade debut The End of Tomorrow, which will drop in the late summer of 2009 and features cover art by none other than Ed Repka (MEGADETH, DEATH, AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE).
UNEARTH to shoot video for Grave of Opportunity!
UNEARTH is teaming up with Artificial Army to shoot a video for their song "Grave of Opportunity" from their latest album The March on Thursday March 19th. The video is set for release during their North American tour with Testament and Lazarus A.D. which kicks off in Seattle on May 2nd.
Vocalist Trevor Phipps comments, "This video will be a lot different than any of our other videos. We are looking to mix things up and not just make the same old boring ass videos most everyone else makes. It might rule and it might suck. My money is on ruling."
Underground legends DISCHARGE will make their first London appearance of 2009 on March 27 at The Underworld in Camden town. The band will be promoting its latest album, "Disensitise", released last October. This is the first DISCHARGE full-length album to feature Rat (VARUKERS) on vocals.
DISCHARGE was supposed to have played the "last punk gig of the Astoria" on January 31 with CONFLICT, but the venue ended up closing prior to that date. The gig at the Underworld will not have CONFLICT on the bill; instead, Nottingham oi! act CERTIFIED and punk/metal locals MISCONDÜCTERS will be supporting the D-Beat masters.
DISCHARGE current lineup is:
Rat - Vocals
Rainy - Bass
Bones - Guitar
Dave - Drums
EARTH CRISIS and CRO-MAGS are among the confirmed bands for this year's Black and Blue Bowl (formerly the Superbowl of Hardcore), set to take place May 30 at Studio B in Brooklyn, New York.
Reactivated New Jersey thrash metallers WHIPLASH have uploaded a two-minute video clip (see below) of the making of their long-awaited-anticipated CD, "Unborn Again", due on July 15 via Pulverised Records. The clip was shot at Mozart Studios in the band's hometown of Clifton, New Jersey and features Tony Portaro laying down rhythm guitar tracks for the song entitled "Feeding Frenzy". The band will also document the full recording session and edit the footage, to be included as a free bonus with the upcoming CD.

RECTIFY - HEARTBEAT CD APRIL 20TH |
PRE-ORDER NOW! |
Yes, we know thrash is hot! And Rectify was and still is influenced by Pantera, Slayer and the 80’s speed and thrash metal. Rectify however, play their thrash differently than that herd of new ‘old school’ bands that record every fart that slips through their pants. They found their other creative musical injection in the end of the 90s, with bands such as Earth Crisis and Kickback. By combining the aggression and drive of both genres on their new release ‘Heartbeat’, Rectify succeeds in creating a new level of fierceness with their pushing riffs and eye for song writing.
Listen to: ‘Strike the Veins’ and ‘No one can Escape it’ here:
www.rectify-metal.com ~ www.myspace.com/rectifymetal
www.rectify-metal.com ~ www.myspace.com/rectifymetal
Their new release ‘Heartbeat’ is recorded at Heartwork Studios with Stefan van Neerven (Born From Pain) and mastered by UE Nastasi at Sterling Sound (Obituary, Walls of Jericho, Sepultura). The album with cover art created by Kris Verwimp (Liar, Absu, Immortal), will be released on APRIL 20th.

With ‘Heartbeat’ Rectify shows their growth, and have written a more diverse and balanced album, compared to their 2005 release ‘Have Mercy’. That release was followed by a release tour with Born From Pain & Kickback and many other shows. The album was very well received by the magazines such as Aardschok and Rock Tribune and resulted in interviews and multiple appearances at amongst others radio station Kink FM.
Rectify started creating and rehearsing new songs for their second album in 2006. The urge to expand the music was strongly felt. Everyone involved reacted. The result, their new and second album titled “Heartbeat”.
Rectify is about aggression. This aggression is not fuelled by hate, nor is it fuelled by some kind of positive energy. It just is aggression, evoked by itself. |

Off course both releases will come in an extra thick cardboard gatefold jacket, while the music itself will be pressed on 180 grams heavy vinyl.
WRATH OF THE WEAK, aka Jordan Buck his latest work Alogon , manages to take the format of the one-man black metal band and make a completely enthralling and bombastic sound out of it. Wrath of the Weak produces lo-fi , droning black metal for fans of: Xasthur, Burzum, Wolves in the Throne Room and Lurker of Chalice.
Through waves of layered distorted guitars that emit unrelenting ambience through feedback and surreal overtones filtered through an open vast sound picture, through unforgiving repetition and vicious melody to embody a vision of uncompromising hypnosis, Wrath of the Weak can be analogized in this kind of scenario: Weakling and Ildjarn tearing away and trying to cannibalize each other in the desert while Velvet Cacoon somewhere tries to desperately want in on the action.
“Alogon”, the Wrath of the Weak sophomore release is a noisy, loud, repetitive, hypnotic, obsessive, unforgiving, and powerful work of raw ambient black metal art that will make an exceptional reflecting observation within the genre. www.myspace.com/wotw666
COBALT, started in early 2002, and continued to make music at their own pace and terms. They are not interested in scene etitism, but choose to let their music and the individual´s interpretation serve as their voice. Cobalt plays dark hypnotic heavy music, that borders on several genres, without beloning to any in specific. ¨Eater of Birds¨ also contains guest vocals by Jarboe (known from her work with Swans and Neurosis) on 3 tracks. Check out their myspace site for some tracks.
Recorded at Flatline Audio and produced by Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage) “Eater Of Birds” not only embraces the band’s vicious take on chaotic brutal avant-garde black/war metal and blackthrash, but take things to a new artistic level in every possible manner. By incorporating the epic crushing monolithicism of Neurosis and Swans, and taking blackened war metal to new unconventional brutally warped levels, amongst ritualistic shaman-like rhythms and pulsations, through its 70-plus minute pillage, “Eater Of Birds” is an unforgettable audial scourge through vast bizarre landscapes and ocean-like terrain. www.myspace.com/stinktown666

"There are simply too many bands with a similar name out there", the members of the band explained in a press release. "Of course we would have loved to keep the name but our label pointed to us that it would be wiser to start under a new banner and they are right. The three words of ERYN NON DAE. do not only start with the initials of END, it is also a dark and eerie name that fits our music perfectly!" >MORE< |

Prey For Nothing news
|
|
Prey For Nothing has parted with guitar player Eyal Glotman
"The last 2 years with Eyal were a great expirience" the band state. "Eyal is a very talented musician and song-writer, with great passion for music in general and metal music in particular. This decision was not an easy one, but due to his personal comitments, we felt that we couldn't continue progressing together as a band with Eyal. This departure is without anger or grudge, Eyal is still a very good friend of ours, and his contribution to the band will not be forgotten."
On the same note, Prey for nothing wants to welcome their new guitar player, Tal Bechar (Vipress, ex-Betrayer) who stepped in to become a full member of the Prey For Nothing family. Tal is one of the most professional and gifted guitar players they ever met. Some of you might know him from his prevoius work with his own bands, or as a session player for the Oriental metal band Orphaned Land, but Tal is not a temporary or a replacement for anything - but is here to stay. Be prepared for some harsh metal performance during their upcoming gigs in Israel, and in the rest of Europe very soon." |

New line-up! New demo-track! |
There is a new shouter in Mastic Scum, we welcome "Maggo" in the band! We know us since years in a good frienship and are happy to work together now, he is the perfect match for Mastic Scum! "Maggo" is also active in Inzest (Deathcore), Tristwood (Industrial Metal) and Watch Me Bleed (Trash/Hardcore).
Mastic Scum had to part ways with shouter "Will" due musical differences. Harry comments: "It was a hard decision for us but the best for the band. We thought about this fact a long period of time and this change was the only right step for Mastic Scum." We wish him all the best for the future.
Check out the new demo-track "Regression" from the pre-production of our upcoming album! Mastic Scum will enter studio in march 2009 to record 12 tracks for the forthcoming CD. Find the track at the "downloads" section or at our MySpace page. www.myspace.com/masticscum

Pre-production / Studio update |
We already finished the pre-production of our upcoming album! The new material is fucking exciting and heavy as fuck: shredding mosh grooves and grinding blast attacks. “We continued to refine the songs over and over again, never before we have spent so much time in songwriting and never before we have put so much energy in our new material…“
We will enter studio in March 09 and are looking forward to finish the work on the album end of spring. The new album will contain 12 tracks and is planned to be released 2009. Here are some songtitles: Construcdead, Dead Remains, Regression, The Consciousness In A State Of Mind, The Sufferage, Extinction... Stay tuned!

Factory of Dreams just released a brand new track called 'Weight of the World'.
+++
7Hard is proud to announce to signed a exclusiv distribution deal for Europe with the US based label: Eonian Records.
The first four releases: Charlemagne "S/t," High Noon "No Turning Back," Gynger Lynn "S/t," and Pistol Dawn "Conversation Piece." All four will be available in Europe on April 2009.
Charlemagne "S/T" To Hollywood and back, these Sunset Strip veterans have owned the legendary stages of The Whiskey, The Troubadour, The Roxy Theater, Coconut Teaszer and the infamous Gazzarri's. This self-titled release is evidence that the Charlemagne of today has yet to slow down or stop kickin' ass. Covered by many and ignored by none, they were a part of history in the making, fuel for electricity that never waned and would impact our culture for years to come.
Track Listing: 1. Secret Romeo 2. I Don't Wanna Lie 3. She's Only Young 4. So Far Away 5. Is It Ever Easy 6. I've Got You 7. Chance Is Calling 8. Last Chance 9. Wait and See 10. I'm Not That Easy 11. I Wish I Knew
High Noon "No Turning Back" East Coast meets West Coast in 1989 and sparked High Noon, creating an experience of "groove and soul" that hooked the Hollywood scene and rocked the world! "No Turning Back" is THE chronological overview of High Noon, featuring straight ahead gut wrenching tracks produced by Michael Lardie of Great White and mixed by the legendary Michael Wagener (Skid Row, Dokken, & Extreme.)
Track Listing: 1. High Noon 2. Bad Moon Risin' 3. Rude Boy 4. Don't Come Running 5. Have My Heart 6. Skatin' On Thin Ice 7. When the Night Calls 8. Just Like a Woman 9. Who Do You Think You Are? 10. Around Midnight 11. Faith Hope and Love 12. Bed of Lies 13. Weight of the World 14. House of Glass
GYNGER LYNN "Self-Titled" Not just another "hair band," Gynger Lynn rose from the depths of basement rehearsals and took Chicago stages by storm for over a decade; becoming one of the hardest-working and most enduring rock legends the area has ever seen. Gynger Lynn lands hard on both feet here with their debut, self-titled release for Eonian Records. Gynger Lynn is armed with seductive ballads complete with haunting vocals and crying guitars while bringing it all home with their signature sound in "I Love the Lights," the hard-hitting screaming anthem for a generation of musicians.
Track Listing: 1. Dirty 2. Reasons Why 3. One and Only 4. My, My Lisa 5. Why Is It Over 6. On My Way 7. Tell the World 8. In My Heart 9. Wanna Be Your Lover 10. I Love the Lights 11. Arms Around You 12. Faces 13. Love
PISTOL DAWN "Conversation Piece" Offering up their own brand of high-energy heavy metal sleaze with a wink and no apologies, these touring giants show us why they have shared stages the world over with the likes of Cheap Trick, Enuff Z'Nuff, Dangerous Toys and Lillian Axe. Featuring tracks produced by Chip Z'Nuff, 'Conversation Piece' is Pistol Dawn's confirmation in this new millennium. From the raw-edged title track 'Conversation Piece,' to the harmonic intertwining of vocals and guitar showcased in 'Still Running Wild,' this compilation of "dirty power pop" songs captures and delivers Pistol Dawn at their loudest and proudest with just a peek at their tender side.
Track Listing: 1. Conversation Piece 2. Message in a Bottle 3. Dreams Come True 4. Be My Girl 5. Hard Way 6. Gone Away 7. Stocks and Blonds 8. Still Running Wild 9. Talk of the Town 10. Wish Upon a Star

7Hard is proud to announce the signing of the Hard Rock Act “M.A.D. (Maniacal Area Damage)” from Germany.
The Band M.A.D. (Maniacal Area Damage):
M.A.D. (Maniacal Area Damage) – that is hardrock at it’s best, goes directly under your skin and makes you shout for more. “Pure entertainment, cool outfits, congenial musicians and a permanent contact with the audience”.
1) make their concerts an unforgettable experience. “Guitar sounds sharp like a knife edge”
2) and rough, hard lead vocals “that bear comparison with the former AC/DC front man Bon Scott”
3) give their songs a “clear handwriting”
4). “It can’t be overseen, that M.A.D. is creating an own unmistakable style”
Uncountable times the band could corvine the audience with their live performance at events like “Rock for Asia” or the “Mexico Open Air” or as support for “H-Blockx”, the “German Idol” Elli, “”Bonfire”, Paul Gilbert (former “Mr. Big” member, on two of his concerts in Munich and Nürnberg) or “Shakra”. In the course of these events they had even possibility to stand on stage with stars like Bonnie Tyler, Doro, “Edguy” or “Saxon”.
But don’t think the band will relax now!!
Right now tha band has finished the works on their new album “For Crown And Ring”. It’s style has become a little bit harder than the last one, because besides the used sound of the band there are some songs, that point in the direction of “Manowar”, “Hammerfall” and “Teräsbetoni”. But even the lovers of hardrock and rock’n roll will get satisfied, because the band has been covering a well-known Tina Turner classics.
M.A.D - For Crown And Ring
Release Date: 19. Juni 2009 - Europe

2) HEAVY METAL NATION V:
We are receiving great CDs with applications for HEAVY METAL NATION V and we’re already worried about all the bands we will have to turn down.
One thing is certain: HMN V will be an amazing compilation of Swiss metal bands!
Sadly, we have no application from the Ticino on this one.

3) Metal festivals:
Our friends from Back To Rock and True As Steel festivals are compiling great billings as well!

HEAVY ARTILLERY SIGNS VEKTOR
In continuing their commitment to a worldwide metallic onslaught HEAVY ARTILLERY is proud to announce the signing of Phoenix, AZ based futuristic thrashers, VEKTOR. Refusing to be pigeon-holed into any metal sub-genre, VEKTOR employs an array of intricacy, virtuosity and a wholly unique sound that sets them clearly apart from the growing legions of color-by-numbers thrash bands. Their debut full length album, Black Future on HEAVY ARTILLERY, is tentatively slated for release in August 2009.
Conceived in 2004 by front man / guitarist David DiSanto and lead shredder Erik Nelson, VEKTOR quickly forged a formidable name for themselves amongst the Phoenix metal contingent for their unique mix of technical, speed thrash and progressive influences. Going against the grain of the Phoenix metal scene, VEKTOR created a wave of interest with their self released CD Demolition (2006) and the ferocious two track demo Hunger for Violence (2007). After four years of local and regional gigging opening for such national acts as TESTAMENT, HIRAX, ICED EARTH and MUNICPAL WASTE,
VEKTOR is preparing to hit the road for their first national tour alongside label mates EXMORTUS in support of Black Future.

Rancho Santa Margarita, California. ProgRock Records has joined
forces with internationally bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson for
a groundbreaking crossover novel and progressive rock project, TERRA
INCOGNITA. Anderson has created an incredible fantasy universe with
sailing ships, sea monsters, and the crusades. The first novel, THE
EDGE OF THE WORLD, hits stores in June from Orbit Books.
Anderson says, "My work work has always been heavily influenced by
music, especially progressive rock -- but TERRA INCOGNITA truly takes
this into new territory." Anderson developed and expanded one of the
novel's storylines to form the basis of an epic rock CD, under the
band name "Roswell Six." He and his wife, bestselling author Rebecca
Moesta, wrote all the lyrics to the songs.
Accomplished keyboardist/composer Erik Norlander (ROCKET SCIENTISTS)
came aboard at the beginning of the project to write the music. His
wife Lana Lane, the "Queen of Symphonic Rock," provides the female
lead vocals. Bassist Kurt Barabas (UNDER THE SUN) and Executive
Producer Shawn Gordon from ProgRock Records round out the members of
"Roswell Six."
"This project checked off about half the items on my bucket list,"
said Gordon. "Imagine what kind of fantasy world I feel like I'm in
when I get to work with one of my favorite authors, favorite
vocalists, and favorite musicians. Hearing the story come to life is
really an amazing experience and I think there are going to be a lot
of new crossover fans from this project."
The CD's male vocals are by James LaBrie (DREAM THEATER), Michael
Sadler (SAGA), and John Payne (ex-ASIA). Additional artists on the CD
include David Ragsdale (KANSAS), Gary Wehrkamp (SHADOW GALLERY),
Chris Quirarte (PRYMARY) and Chris Brown (GHOST CIRCUS). Together,
the creative team has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
TERRA INCOGNITA is a synergistic project unlike anything ever seen in
the publishing and music business -- an original novel and original
CD from the same author. Kevin J. Anderson is currently writing the
second novel in the epic trilogy, TERRA INCOGNITA: THE MAP OF ALL
THINGS. He is best known for his successful DUNE novels with Brian
Herbert, his many Star Wars and X-Files novels, and his original epic
"The Saga of Seven Suns."
"Terra Incognita" is the first release on ProgRock Records and can be
found at http://www.progrockrecords.com/artists/view.php?id=116. This
groundbreaking epic is available now for pre-sales; the CD will ship
in late April and the book by June. The street date for your favorite
brick and mortar resellers is June 2, 2009. Special bundling and
discounting is available on the ProgRock Records site, as well as an
option for autographed copies, only 200 of which will be available.
See http://www.progrockrecords.com/artists/view.php?id=116 for
details. You can also hear two songs in full at

XYKOGEN
Terminology - Released April 20th - Line Out Records
“An aural assault that was far from expected… A band to keep an eye on” - Londonist
“…rammed full of big beat electro outpourings: massively inspiring and totally toe-tapping…turn the bugger up, it’s fearsome when maxed out!” – Toxic Pete
Xykogen is a London based techno-industrial band, established in 2004 by Amon Zero. The full lineup formed at the beginning of 2006, with the release of the Mutate and Survive EP. Xykogen live is Amon Zero (vox, programming), Kaida (synths), Mog Warbeast (vox, drums) the Reverend Eris (vox), and Max Rael (guitars, electronica).
Amon was formerly the vocalist of UK cyberpunk/coldwave band Arkam Asylum. The Reverend Eris was a co-founder of Wasp Factory Recordings and occasional member of The Chaos Engine. Max Rael is a founder-member of industrial punk mavericks History Of Guns, whose highly acclaimed album Acedia is out now.
The word “xykogen” is a term coined by the band’s founder Amon Zero in 2004, meaning any process that influences minds.
Xykogen have performed at several key electro/industrial festivals in the UK including the Whitby Gothic Weekend, headlined the Carnival of Souls, and been linked to the emerging UK Futurepunk scene since playing at and headlining genre-defining events Futurepunk 23 and Back to The Futurepunk (London, November 2006 & 2007) and the Amalgamation Festival (Leeds, December 2007).
A series of hit-and-run download releases on Wasp Factory Recordings and Line Out Records have paved the way for the band’s commercial debut album Terminology on Line Out Records, produced by Scott DeathBoy. We hope you enjoy their not-quite-right fusion of industrial and dance musicks.

Bio:
In August 1984 guitarist Jan Akesson and singer Peter Grundstrom got to know each other after a mutual concert. Jan played guitar in a band called Ravage and Peter was a singer in a band called Whitelight. Their meeting led to the conclusion of Jans work with Ravage and he became a new member in Whitelight in the fall the same year. The concentration of Whitelight was melodic hardrock and main influence among many where: Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Bad Company, but later on, “newer” bands (english and american) such as Whitesnake, Van Halen, Journey,Toto, Riot, Wrabit and Dokken.The band did many gigs and demos (in hope of getting a proper record deal).
In 1987 Jan decided to leave Whitelight and went his own way. He wanted to try his own wings with a tougher; more guitarorientated hardrock. Peter stayed in Whitelight but Jan wasn’t replaced. Instead the name of the band was changed to Kee Avenue. Jan established a new band called Why Not and later he also established new bands like Perfect Stranger and Dr Blue. These bands did really successful gigs and recordings in different places. In 1994 Jan stepped down from the stages, but kept on writing songs and recorded them in Cubase. Since then he owns a studio. Kee Avenue split up in 1991 after the bassplayer and the keyboardplayer left the band. The band never found anyone tho replace them. After this breakup Peter played with different band, mostley coverband. He kept on writing songs.
15 years after the two played together Jan called Peter on the phone. He tought that it was time for a “reunion”. After a good meal, a few beers and whiskey the interest grew to once more form a project. The result of this was
StoneLake…

ANAAL NATHRAKH |
Anaal Nathrakh sign to Candlelight Records
Candlelight Records today confirms the worldwide signing of England’s Anaal Nathrakh. The popular extreme metal duo are currently in the studio working on their label debut titled In The Constellation Of The Black Widow. The album is expected for a summertime release. Vocalist V.I.T.R.I.O.L. says, “Candlelight have shown a strong belief in Anaal Nathrakh and looking at some of the acts on their roster both past and present it seems they are capable of backing up their good intentions. With their help we hope we can finally get the planet cracked in half.”
Formed in 1998, Anaal Nathrakh have recorded five full-length albums, their most recent Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here released in 2007 via Feto Records (co-owned by member Mick Kenney and Napalm Death’s Shane Embury). Based in Birmingham, the band sonically fuse traditional black metal with elements of industrial, grindcore, and early-day death metal resulting in a one-of-a-kind soundscape that has earned them high acclaim from media and fans around the globe. Reviewing 2005’s album Eschaton Blabbermouth called the band, “the best at marrying drum machine grind, speed riffing death, and bombastic black metal grandeur to a depraved, filthy and overdriven musical framework. Malevolence oozes from every note, brooding insanity in every scream, and a mastery of just what makes extreme metal such a dark and difficult pleasure. Sick, ugly, essential.”
Commenting on the new album, V.I.T.R.I.O.L. reveals, “Constellation will be faster, more insidious, more ominous, more musically dextrous and wilder than ever before. The album will feature a curve ball guest appearance from Zeitgeist Memento of Mexican extremists Republika.”
According to the band’s official website, Anaal Nathrakh was created for one purpose - to be the soundtrack for Armageddon and the true spirit of necro taken to its musical extremes. The band have collaborated with such legendary figures as Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Shane Embury and Danny Herrera (Napalm Death), Nick Barker (Testament, Dimmu Borgir), Joe Horvath (Circle of Dead Children), Sethlans Teitan (Watain) and more. The band have appeared on BBC’s Radio 1 (per the behest of icon John Peel), headlined a stage at the annual Inferno Festival in Norway, and have found themselves included among countless ‘Best Album of the Year’ polls around the world. Anaal Nathrakh’s status as one of the leading lights in extreme metal is undeniable.

NEBELHEXE |
New Nebelhexe album 'Dead Waters' on Candlelight/Amber Autumn!
Dark, strange and personal... and one never knows if she is talking about dreams or reality.
She describes Dead Waters as: "very own, very dark, very organic, very strange? Dead Waters certainly turned out to be more organic, kind of like a mix of dreamy ambient, tribal, and a darker form of country... or something like that... maybe it was the influence of that Texas snake beer we had in the studio (plus the Texan boyfriend...) and the hot weather... :-) "
"The songs as usual, embrace many of my deep and dark thoughts, dreams... and recent experiences... I have a talent for ending up in unusual, interesting and weird situations... always kinda stressy when it happens... but they always makes the best and entertaining stories afterwards... The lyrics are explained, (not in detail though, I keep some thing's for your imagination!) on my website www.nebelhexe.com "
Obs; her music is not metal! We prefer to call it 'Alternative'. However she does not want to fall into any specific genre. .
Nebelhexe has written quite entertaining articles about the commercial trend that sadly moved into our music scenes and that eagerly promotes eh "non threatening" artists. The song "The Wall" is also about this subject.
Her latest Visuals alarmed American Mental Health workers who claimed a patient got 'psychotic' after watching one of her videos!

BLUT AUS NORD |
Blut Aus Nord return with their seventh album and second part of the Memoria Vetusta saga
Blut Aus Nord return with the second part of the Memoria Vetusta saga which began 12 years ago with Memoria Vetusata I - fathers of the Icy Age. The new album is a return to a more majestic and Progressive black metal sound that still retains the distinctive Blut Aus Nord discordant edge.
Introduced to main-stream audiences via their early 2004 Candlelight debut, The Work Which Transforms God, and 2005 re-issue of their previous underground catalogue, Memoria Vestusta and Ultima Thulee albums, “Blut Aus Nord pushes the definition of music; disfigured, anti-social, pure, raw black metal... Eccentric.” (Brave Words Bloody Knuckles) “Grim, forward-thinking [...] probably one of the most amazing black metal albums of the last several years.” (Ultimate Metal) Blut Aus Nord redefines music as any extreme music fan (metal or otherwise) knows it. Their macabre creations throw ardent fists in the face of mainstream and mediocrity, resulting in a nightmarish voyage of sonic disharmony. England’s SonicDeath says it best when noting, “listening to Blut Aus Nord is like watching your own funeral in slow motion... a great sucking veil of endless, foreboding darkness.”

STAROFASH |
Starofash : Completes work on the "Ulterior" soundtrack
Heidi Solberg Tveitan (a.k.a. Starofash) has completed work on the soundtrack to the Irish film "Ulterior" by writer/director Jason Mehlhorn.
Says Heidi: "With this being my first soundtrack, I was faced with quite a few challenges when adapting to the format. However, after working my way through the more technical aspects, I was pleasantly surprised to find it very natural to just follow the pace and content of the movie when writing the actual music. Jason has been a very open minded and constructive director, which has made my job all the more easy. Strangely, I have never been so honest in my music as with this soundtrack; this is music straight from the heart."
"Ulterior" could probably be best described as a psychological thriller in a similar vein to "Vertigo", "Caché", "Repulsion" and "La Femme Infidèle". It utilises a minimalist visual style, measured pace, sparse dialogue and often dark irony to explore themes of disclosure, isolation, empowerment, obsession and sanity within the film's "open" plot. These characteristics were imbued into the film's original soundtrack which was provided by Starofash.
"Ulterior" is a low-budget debut feature film from Irish writer/director Jason Mehlhorn. It was shot in just 12 days in Dublin with a skeleton crew of five people in August 2008. It is nearing the end of post-production and upon completion will hopefully start its life by entering film festivals in various countries. The film was shot digitally in HDV and has a running time of approximately 73 minutes.

ENSLAVED |
Enslaved: 'Hordanes Land' reissued
Originally released in 1993 as half of the Emperor / Enslaved split which has since gone on to become a piece of historically important Black Metal that helped define a whole genre. Since these humble beginnings Enslaved have gone from strength to strength and this year (2008) in support of their new album they completed a 50 date European tour, received a multitude of top score reviews and places in critics albums of the year. The new album Vertebrae is musically speaking with it's black metal meets prog sound quite far removed from the sound on this Enslaveds debut but the seeds of future experimentation can be heard in this Viking metal gem.
“The re-release features the original artwort and photos, in addition to private photos from Enslaved's early career and in-depth liner notes by founding members Ivar Bjørnson & Grutle Kjellson; providing a unique insight into the formative days of the band.”

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE |
Pre-order Fleshgod Apocalypse - Oracles
Fleshgod Apocalypse is born in April 2007. The band features members of Hour Of Penance, Promaetheus Unbound and T.E.R.

ULCERATE |
Pre-order Ulcerate - Everything Is Fire
Scheduled for an early 2009 release, Ulcerate's second full-length album further refines and expands their work on 2007's 'Of Fracture and Failure'. Punishing, churning dissonance mixed with their trademarked sense of melody and textured rhythm work, coupled with a greater foray into mood and atmosphere. An entirely bleaker effort than anything ever realised by the band, guitar lines swirl and evolve into one another, percussive patterns work in and around the melody lines while the band further develops the linear style of writing they've come to be known for. Frantic, desolate and emotive, 'Everything is Fire' straddles the divide between pure chaotic density and raw, natural tones, marking a breath of fresh air in the climate of over-produced, stagnant and clinical metal.
'Everything is Fire' represents a band with a wholly unified musical and aesthetic direction.

AFGRUND |
Pre-order Afgrund - Vid Helvetets Grindar
Afgrund is a Swedish band started in 2006 by Andreas Baier and Olle Ferner and Patrik Howe (from bands such as 21 Lucifers, Mareridden, Vi (ex-Clean Shade of Dirty), Penile Suffocation, Avsmak)). 1½ month later the 5-track demo CD Hjärtslag och Djupa Andetag (Heartbeats and Deep Breaths) was recorded. The demo CD received a lot of good response and 1½ month later they got contacted by polish label Lifestage Productions to sign for an album. In autumn 2006 drummer Olle Ferner decided to quit the band due to a lack of interest. After completing the Grind Tour de Pologne VI in Poland with 17-year-old stand-in drummer Panu Posti from Finnish hc-grind band Büfo the band decided to keep him.

LOITS: video "Haavad uulitsal" achieves 2nd place on MTV EESTI TOP 100
On February 24, on the 91st anniversary of the Estonian Republic, Estonian MTV held the history's first Estonian Top 100 parade with all local music videos that had been included in the cable station's playlist since its launch in fall of 2006 to this year's January.
The pioneers of flak'n'roll celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2009 were pleasantly surprised when viewers of MTV deemed the video to "Haavad uulitsal" worthy of the 2nd place. The video to "Kodu" landed 13th position, "Aeg ärgata" came in 29th.

10 YEARS OF LOITS
The grenadiers of Loits plan to celebrate their birthday with full flourish. In addition to several birthday performances and summer festivals (Kilkim Zaibu, Hard Rock Laager, Rock Ramp etc) already planned for, with the help of comrades Loits will release several luxurious limited releases.
LOITS "Must album" gatefold LP
The black and heavy (180g) 12'' vinyl is packaged in a gatefold sleeve. The singularity of the release is stressed with golden print, picture frames and ornaments, that also adorn the four-page booklet with song lyrics in both Estonian and English, as well as a fair selection of pictures thus far unreleased. The regular version of the "Must album" vinyl release, limited to 1000 copies, will be released on March 20th, 2009 by Eisenwald Tonschmiede: http://www.eisenton.de
LOITS "Must album / Mustad laulud" gatefold 2LP
In this release we have a truly luxurious and exclusive comrade's version of the album. In addition to the 180g black 12'' vinyl the special set also contains the 150g black 12'' vinyl version of the four-track addendum "Mustad laulud". The gatefold sleeve comes with another surprise, namely a 24-page book in LP-format, adorned again with golden letters, picture frames and ornaments. The book also includes a score of unpublished photos and a scale of events, cleverly synchronised via track numbers, from the history of our small but lovely nation. Limited to 300 copies, the set will be released on March 20th, 2009 by Eisenwald Tonschmiede: http://www.eisenton.de
LOITS "Ei kahetse midagi" picture 12'' LP
Once again Loits' debut album shows its viability, this time on picture-printed vinyl, packaged in a windowed carton sleeve especially fitted for this release. The set also includes a poster-sleeve with lyrics in both Estonian and English. The release contains a bonus track and is limited to 500 copies. "Ei kahetse midagi" picture 12'' LP will be released in March/April, 2009 by Drakkar Prodiuctions: http://www.drakkar666.com
LOITS "Ei kahetse midagi" digipak CD
The new four-sleeve digipak will be more exquisite than any previous CD release of "Ei kahetse midagi". The new design includes golden print and UV-coating, and comes with a 12-page inlay and a bonus track. "Ei kahetse midagi" digipak will be relased in March/April by Drakkar Prodiuctions: http://www.drakkar666.com
LOITS "Raiugem ruunideks" 7'' EP & deluxe carton version
The 3rd EP recorded by Loits in 2003 will finally be cast in vinyl and coated in the same good old silver-printed sleeve and full-colour envelope-style inlay as the previous instalments. The release, including a nifty postcard, will be limited to 659 copies.
The first 100 "Raiugem ruunideks" EPs will be released in a very cool b black silver-printed carton that has room enough also for the two previous EPs. As all portions of the trilogy were numbered according to the Eastern Battalions, the carton also includes feature stories of those - in addition to three gorgeous postcards, a national tricolour and a Loits poster. "Raiugem ruunideks" will be released in April by Eisenwald Tonschmiede: http://www.eisenton.de

LION'S SHARE – Sign Japanese deal with KING RECORDS
Swedish melodic heavy metal masters LION'S SHARE have inked a Japanese licensing deal with KING RECORDS for the release of their sixth full-length album, "Dark Hours".
LION'S SHARE will release its new album in Europe and North America on March 24 via Blistering Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Emotional Coma" was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (OPETH, SYMPHONY X, PARADISE LOST, AMON AMARTH) and features guest appearances by SYMPHONY X guitarist Mike Romeo (guest solo on "Behind The Curtain"), and drummers Conny Pettersson (from Earache Records death metal act ANATA) and Richard Evensand (CHIMAIRA, SOILWORK).
"Dark Hours" track listing:
01. Judas Must Die
02. Phantom Rider
03. Demon In Your Mind
04. Heavy Cross To Bear
05. The Bottomless Pit
06. Full Metal Jacket
07. The Presidio 27
08. Barker Ranch
09. Napalm Nights
10. Space Scam
11. Behind The Curtain
12. King Of All The Kings (bonus track)
The band states: "The new songs are simply awesome and everybody that has heard it thinks it's our best album to date. The red thread lyric-wise on this album is that all songs are about things that happened in the late Sixties; a decade known for many good things. However, we're not describing the happy times of the Sixties: We give you the 'Dark Hours'. Musically, it's more straight-forward and faster than ever. The songs are filled with energy and great hooks."
A free download of the first single “Judas Must Die” is available at the following location www.blisteringrecords.se/downloads

CANDLELIGHT RECORDS SIGNS ANAAL NATHRAKH
London: Candlelight Records today confirms the worldwide signing of England’s Anaal Nathrakh. The popular extreme metal duo are currently in the studio working on their label debut titled In The Constellation Of The Black Widow. The album is expected for a summertime release. Vocalist V.I.T.R.I.O.L. says, “Candlelight have shown a strong belief in Anaal Nathrakh and looking at some of the acts on their roster both past and present it seems they are capable of backing up their good intentions. With their help we hope we can finally get the planet cracked in half.”
Formed in 1998, Anaal Nathrakh have recorded five full-length albums, their most recent Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here released in 2007 via Feto Records (co-owned by member Mick Kenney and Napalm Death’s Shane Embury). Based in Birmingham, the band sonically fuse traditional black metal with elements of industrial, grindcore, and early-day death metal resulting in a one-of-a-kind soundscape that has earned them high acclaim from media and fans around the globe. Reviewing 2005’s album Eschaton Blabbermouth called the band, “the best at marrying drum machine grind, speed riffing death, and bombastic black metal grandeur to a depraved, filthy and overdriven musical framework. Malevolence oozes from every note, brooding insanity in every scream, and a mastery of just what makes extreme metal such a dark and difficult pleasure. Sick, ugly, essential.”
Commenting on the new album, V.I.T.R.I.O.L. reveals, “Constellation will be faster, more insidious, more ominous, more musically dextrous and wilder than ever before. The album will feature a curve ball guest appearance from Zeitgeist Memento of Mexican extremists Republika.”
According to the band’s official website, Anaal Nathrakh was created for one purpose - to be the soundtrack for Armageddon and the true spirit of necro taken to its musical extremes. The band have collaborated with such legendary figures as Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Shane Embury and Danny Herrera (Napalm Death), Nick Barker (Testament, Dimmu Borgir), Joe Horvath (Circle of Dead Children), Sethlans Teitan (Watain) and more. The band have appeared on BBC’s Radio 1 (per the behest of icon John Peel), headlined a stage at the annual Inferno Festival in Norway, and have found themselves included among countless ‘Best Album of the Year’ polls around the world. Anaal Nathrakh’s status as one of the leading lights in extreme metal is undeniable.

METALCAMP NEW CONFIRMATIONS:
Dear Metalcampers!
We are proud to announce the newest Metalcamp line-up additions:
This multi-national talented band from London whose latest album "Ultra Beatdown" amazed us all last summer will be presenting themselves at Metalcamp festival this summer for the first time. Known to surprise us with each new album, Dragonforce are one of those bands who like to experiment in music and develop with each new album. This is the band that is not just repeating their formula for making songs, but is trying to invent new formulas with each new recording, something really fresh and unfortunately pretty rare among the well established names.
The masters of fast melodies and super speed riffs are coming to Tolmin!
Vader is definitely a band that needs no presentation, especially not to the fans of extreme metal genres. The band that opened a path to so many other acts from the Eastern European countries, the phenomena when it comes to days spent on tour, the band that performed all over the world and amazed so many of us, the band that survived all these years despite some line-up changes and unfortunate events, the band well-known for their musical style, the band that never changed or suppressed themselves to anyone or anywhere, the band that deserves the highest respect and the band that will make you go crazy when you hear them at Metalcamp this year!
|
Mille and Kreator are coming back to Tolmin! As all of you who already witnessed Kreator's performance at Metalcamp festival already know, Mille and the band are huge fans of Metalcamp festival. This also may be the reason they are such regular guests at this unique event. The pure nature, turquoise rivers and the green forests really make an unforgettable image in the minds of anyone who takes a moment and looks away from the stage. The magical scenery makes you feel the same when looking from the stage, and Mille and company know this. Metalcamp truly is a place where both fans and the bands can relax and enjoy themselves to their fullest.

RELEASE DATE 7th APRIL 2009, CD & all digital stores – NEW MODEL LABEL
Speedjackers are a 6 piece band from Northern Italy, North of Vicenza, to be precise, which is not as North as Norway or Sweden but nobody ever proved in a scientific way a connection between geographical position and punk rock’n’roll!!
Those guys grew up with massive doses of Elvis, Motorhead, AC/DC, Turbonegro and Hardcore Superstar and now they are ready to rock with their first official cd, “Secularization”!
The cd features 7 tracks with two real killer singles, “I Wanna Rock You”, pure punk rock ‘n’roll and “Il Suo Pensiero”, a sort of ideal crossover between Motorhead, AC/DC, The White Stripes and the old school Italian hardcore (Negazione, etc), showing to the world that it’s possibile to do it even in Italian!
SPEEDJACKERS are: 3K "L'ATTACCABRIGHE" (vox&tambourine), Murka "IL DRASTICO" (bass), Bino "L'IMPEGNATO" (gtr), Set "IL BOSS" (gtr), Nicko "L'INTIMO" (gtr), Nik "IL MIGLIORATO" (drums)
TRACKLIST: 1. The Road To... / 2. Secularization / 3. I Wanna Rock You / 4. Il Suo Pensiero / 5. Love Rock'N'Roll / 6. The Girl's Joke / 7. Harage

HEAVY ARTILLERY RECORDS SIGNS THE SEVEN GATES: Marching into the new year with guns blazing, HEAVY ARTILLERY is pleased to announce the addition of French death metal masters THE SEVEN GATES to its roster of exclusive artists. Following the release of two critically acclaimed demos, THE SEVEN GATES prepare to unleash their debut album Angel of Suffering in the United States on May 12th and in Europe on June 2nd 2009.
Born from the ashes of revered French underground metal acts Daemonium, Akhenaton and late 80’s French death metal pioneers Mutilated, THE SEVEN GATES began their assault in 2006 with the release of their “All is In All” demo. In 2007 the band followed up with a self-released EP entitled Ghenna’s Sword, gaining THE SEVEN GATES praise from the European metal press and earning them a spot on several “Best of 2007” lists in many of the Europe’s leading metal publications. That same year, the bands’ first tour evoked frenzied interest from fans and further praise from the press, rousing the attention of New York’s HEAVY ARTILLERY RECORDS who quickly offered the band a place on their roster.
Mastered by renown French engineer Jean-Pierre Bouquet, Angel of Suffering delivers 10 tracks of old-school death metal with an endless supply of hooks, masterful musicianship and a sufficient dose of pure fucking evil, sure to please fans of early Deicide, Morbid Angel and Entombed.
Listen to THE SEVEN GATES at http://www.myspace.com/thesevengates

US thrashers Warbringer have completed tracking on their follow up to 2008 debut War Without End. The album was produced by Gary Holt (Exodus), and is scheduled for a May release.

CRAMPS SINGER DIES AGED 62
Lux Interior, lead singer of The Cramps, passed away this morning at 4:30 a.m. PST at Glendale Memorial Hospital, California, aged 62. He dies of an existing heart condition.
Lux and his wife Poison Ivy have contributed greatly to the music world, having inspired many artists since they emerged out of the New York punk scene. Their latest album ‘How To Make A Monster’ sold 11,000 copies in 2004. RIP Lux.
SUSPERIA SIGN TO CANDLELIGHT RECORDS
Norwegian melodic thrashers Susperia have signed a deal with Candlelight Records. The band are currently putting the finishing touches on their fifth studio album, which the band describe as being ‘A perfect blend of everything Susperia have been and become. The melancholic riffs and dark emotional vocals will take you back to the early days’.
Watch out for the band who tour the UK in May with Breed 77, Iluminatus and Circle Of One.
THE ART OF PARTYING
Municipal Waste begin recording a new album in March, which will once again be produced by Chris “Zeuss” Harris at Red Planet Studios.
The album is scheduled for a late August release, and promises to be more aggressive than previous efforts. Comments frontman Tony Foresta “The Waste is still all about having a good time, but I think we all agreed on writing something a bit more pissed off and different with this album, Instead of going ahead and writing the same album all over again. But don't fear we're not getting 'artistic' or any bullshit like that. We've just been listening to a lot more Poison Idea and NWOBHM and I feel it might show a bit with this next album."
Songtitles set to appear on the new CD include "Massive Aggressive", "Shredded Offering" and "The Divine Blasphemer".
A LOUD SIGH
Japanese black metallers Sigh are locked away in the studio recording their eighth studio album, “Scenes From Hell”, which is scheduled for release later in 2009.
In a studio blog, mainman Mirai Kawashima talks about what to expect from the new album; "The biggest difference is that we’re using the real orchestral instruments such as a string quartet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, flute, oboe, clarinet and so on. The score is very huge — the one for strings exceeds 100 pages! Definitely the orchestration sounds extremely vivid and powerful this time, and I can safely assure that this will be by far the most grandiose album by SIGH! Also, this is going to be the first original album that features Dr. Mikannibal. She's playing the alto, tenor and batirone saxophones along with taking care of some of the vocals.”
The full studio blog can be read HERE

Tommy Tee, Manager of New Model Army and The Almighty, has died aged 46 after suffering a sudden and completely unexpected medical emergency (a thoracic aortic dissection) on the evening of 23rd December.
Justin Sullivan, New Model Army’s frontman, says "Tommy's death leaves a huge hole in all our lives, not just professionally as the man who organised every aspect of the band's life but most especially as a friend and the best kind of road companion. And this sense of loss increases rather than decreases with each day that passes."
Tommy Tee’s career began in 1982 as New Model Army tour manager, and became known for his old school ethics to working in the music industry. He was responsible for The Almighty securing their record deal with Polydor, and has played a major part in developing NMA’s career over the years.

The Scratch’s last double a side single Girl’s World / Sweet Surprise, released in August, was met with a wealth of positive reviews.
'The Scratch pump out lazily produced, low-fi punk numbers that have vocals snottily delivered and melodies that aren't a million miles away from the naive diary lyrics of the Buzzcocks' - Artrocker
'girls world is an eruption of frantic drum beats and spiky melodies...upfront moddish pop punk thrills' – UK Music Review
'a rampant bar room bruiser that craftily tweaks & tinkers with the gung ho mentality of Stiff’s finest the Damned as though on this occasion finding themselves squaring up to the Dead Boys with Pete Shelley sneakily taking up the mic amid the ensuing melee, scorching stuff.'- Losing Today
A short promo tour saw The Scratch support The Holloways and appear on BBC 3 Counties Radio’s ‘On Tour’ feature, plus their second regional XFM response session with Colin Frances in Cardiff. The band also made their first appearance at the Endorse IT festival in Dorset in August, in the company of Alabama 3, Buzzcocks and Goldblade. The year finished on a high with a spot at the prestigious In The City music festival in Manchester.
'The Scratch rose to the task with aplomb, delivering a raucous up-tempo set with big choruses, synchronised star jumps and a voodoo back beat' - Lemonrock
2009 is already looking exciting for The Scratch – the band has secured a live session at BBC 3 Counties radio for March 6th. Gig wise next year the band are pleased to announce a residency at their local venue The Horn. They will play bi-monthly intervals from Fri March 27th – more info and dates can be found on their website www.thescratch.co.uk.
'I love the Scratch me. Not only have they got ace tunes, they’ve also got a great spirit. They’ll go all the way!' Clint Boon, XFM Music Response show
'Guitar Gold dominated their sound and their set is full of great tunes' John Robb - Live review at Manchester’s Night and Day music venue.

CD released in 12-page deluxe digipak booklet and O-card on top. Booklet, along with the vintage photo collection, contains liner notes written by the band.
"At that time the band no longer had a rehearsal studio, therefore the whole preparation for the record (and writing of the material) took place at Laimis’ parents’ flat – a cramped space in an apartment block. We would plug the guitars and the bass into a home stereo system in Laimis’ room, and had to resort to rubber practice pads instead of a drum kit. It wasn’t always easy, with desperate neighbours giving an occasional bang on the pipes to let us know what they thought about the friggin’ guitar noise :). We couldn’t use the drum kit, it goes without saying. Brazas would just whack the hell out of his practice pad and lay down the grooves for the tracks in his head. Most of the drum parts in this CD were initially written in that way. Strangely enough, in terms of creativity, the band was able to demonstrate more then than during other, more comfortable and convenient stages of its existence."

CANDLELIGHT SIGNS NORWAY’S SUSPERIA
London: Candlelight today confirms the worldwide signing of Susperia. Currently finishing work on their fifth album, the band recently announced a string of early spring UK dates that will kick off what is expected to be a busy year for the popular Norwegian metal band. “Ten years and still the same five guys,” exclaims vocalist Athera of the band’s long commitment to their music. “We have worked nearly two years on this material, perfecting it for your pleasure and our devoted fans. It will take you back to the early days with melancholic riffing and dark emotional vocals. It’s a perfect blend of everything Susperia has been and become.”
“A blend of thrash metal drawing on influences that include Sepultura, Anthrax, and Testament,” says Allmusic.com of Susperia’s now highly regarded sound. The popular music portal continues its early 2005 review noting “their songs are melodic yet intense and forceful, and shredding guitars are the rule.” Formed in 1998 by drummer Tjodalv (then of Dimmu Borgir) and guitarist Cyrus (then of Satyricon/Old Man’s Child), the band released their debut, Predominance, via Nuclear Blast in 2001. The band’s much-acclaimed second album, Vindication, followed in 2003. Signing with Norwegian-based Tabu Records (with release in the US via Candlelight Records) in 2004, the band released their third album, Unlimited, later that year. Brave Words Bloody Knuckles called the album, “a scorcher from start to finish, on par with Testament classic The Gathering.”
A powerful live act, the band has consistently remained focused to the live arena. With numerous high profile support, headline and festival appearances, one of the band’s most cherished experiences thus far remains supporting the newly reformed Testament in late 2005. The dates would culminate in the release of the band’s Norwegian charting mini-album Devil May Care. Work on their fourth album, Cut From Stone, would see out the end of the year. Unfortunately due to financial constraints two tries to visit the US to support the Daniel Bergstrand-produced album during 2007/08 would set back the album’s overall sales target but the band remained committed. Touring Europe, including numerous dates with W.A.S.P, the band’s ambitions stayed and continue to remain in tact. “We now have the backing of one label worldwide and this is going to make life easier for us,” says bassist Memnock.
Susperia’s still untitled label debut is expected for release early summer. Recorded in Norway it was mixed at Studio Fredman in Sweden. Susperia currently includes guitarists Cyrus and Elvorn, bassist Memnock, with drummer Tjodalv and vocalist Athera.
Swedish metal powerhouse ENFORCER will be supporting their critically acclaimed album, Into the Night with an upcoming European tour along with fellow Swedish headbangers PORTRAIT. Summoning the classic metal sounds of IRON MAIDEN and MERCYFUL FATE, ENFORCER delivers melody, hooks and vocal range not heard since the golden days of heavy metal. Listed below are the tour dates.
Additionally ENFORCER will be announcing full US tour dates shortly. Prepare to enter the world of ENFORCER where heavy metal is the law!

TOM WAITS: LOS ANGELES- Legendary musician Tom Waits toured recently, but fans in
his old hometown were out of luck--all the dates were in the South. So
Esotouric, the bus adventure company whose offbeat tours expose LA's
secret history, launched a new tour just to scratch that gravelly
voiced itch.
CRAWLING DOWN CAHUENGA: TOM WAITS' LOS ANGELES debuted in August 2008
with a sold out tour, and repeats on February 28. It is the definitive
tour of Tom Waits' formative creative life and the people, places and
late night pastries that shaped it.
Calling all rain dogs, gin-soaked boys and Gun Street girls! Climb
aboard as your hosts David Smay (author of the new 33 1/3 series book
on "Swordfishtrombones") and Esotouric's Kim Cooper (a Zoetrope
Studios intern who'll tell how she used teenage subterfuge to arrange
a private concert by Tom) lead you on a scrupulously researched ride
through Tom's epic misdeeds and shenanigans, from the Trashing of the
Troubadour to epic nights at the Tropicana.
And oh, there are such tales to tell, from food fights with L.A. Punks
and smackdowns with L.A. Police. We'll crawl through the Sewers of
Paris, tattle on the Ivar Theater, and get the lowdown on Tom's
legendary performances at the Wiltern and elsewhere. Before departing
for points rural, Tom left his mark all over L.A., from Francis Ford
Coppola's Zoetrope Studios to Sunset Sound to Skid Row. We'll show you
where Tom found his true love and collaborator, Kathleen Brennan, and
how all the pieces came together to transform a drunken, desperate
singer into the multi-faceted, multi-media artist he'd become.
Raised near San Diego, Tom Waits launched his musical career in L.A.,
signing with David Geffen's Asylum Records in 1972, living at the
raunchy Tropicana Hotel (where he sawed off the kitchen drain board so
his piano would fit), and building a reputation as a songwriter
willing to risk his own health and sanity to get inside the sad sack
characters that peopled songs like "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not
Me)," "On The Nickel" and "Pasties And A G-string (At The Two O'clock
Club)."
By 1980, Tom was 31 and starting to feel the effects of his hard
living. While scoring the music to Francis Ford Coppola's "One From
The Heart," he met Kathleen Brennan, whose influence would completely
transform his life and his art. After a whirlwind courtship the pair
married and began a 28-year creative and personal partnership,
beginning with the revolutionary album "Swordfishtrombones," the
subject of tour host David Smay's new book.
As a symbolic passage from lonesome bar hopping to family joys and
sobriety, the tour starts and ends at two important downtown sites.
Passengers gather in the King Edward Saloon, the last surviving Skid
Row bar with the Christmas 2007 loss of Craby Joe's, before boarding
Esotouric's luxury coach class bus, where the mood is set with vintage
photos and live footage. CRAWLING DOWN CAHUENGA spans Tom's personal
city, from The Nickel (aka Skid Row) to once-ratty West Hollywood,
favorite strip clubs and midnight diners, recording studios, night
clubs, record labels and film studios, before rolling back downtown
for a communal snack at Clifton's Cafeteria.
ABOUT THE HOSTS: Longtime collaborators David Smay and Kim Cooper
co-edited the books "Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth" ("quite
simply the most fun music book I have ever read." -Bucketfull of
Brains) and "Lost in the Grooves: Scram's Capricious Guide to the
Music You Missed" ("the perfect book for the advanced record
collector" -Ear Candy) before penning their solo 33 1/3 series books
on Tom Waits and Neutral Milk Hotel. Kim gives Esotouric's rock
history and true crime tours. David Smay lives in San Francisco, where
he is working on a history of the Beats.

LION'S SHARE – New Album Artwork Unveiled
Swedish melodic heavy metal masters LION'S SHARE has unveiled the cover art for its upcoming sixth full-length album, "Dark Hours".
LION'S SHARE will release its new album in late March 2009 via Blistering Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Emotional Coma" was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (OPETH, SYMPHONY X, PARADISE LOST, AMON AMARTH) and features guest appearances by SYMPHONY X guitarist Mike Romeo (guest solo on "Behind The Curtain"), and drummers Conny Pettersson (from Earache Records death metal act ANATA) and Richard Evensand (CHIMAIRA, SOILWORK).
"Dark Hours" track listing:
01. Judas Must Die
02. Phantom Rider
03. Demon In Your Mind
04. Heavy Cross To Bear
05. The Bottomless Pit
06. Full Metal Jacket
07. The Presidio 27
08. Barker Ranch
09. Napalm Nights
10. Space Scam
11. Behind The Curtain
12. King Of All The Kings (bonus track – limited-edition digipak and Japanese version)
The band states: "The new songs are simply awesome and everybody that has heard it thinks it's our best album to date. The red thread lyric-wise on this album is that all songs are about things that happened in the late Sixties; a decade known for many good things. However, we're not describing the happy times of the Sixties: We give you the 'Dark Hours'. Musically, it's more straight-forward and faster than ever. The songs are filled with energy and great hooks."
LION'S SHARE's most recent album, "Emotional Coma", was released in the U.S. January 29th, via Locomotive Music. The CD was issued by AFM Records in Europe and Spiritual Beast in Japan/Asia and features guest solos from ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, and ex-MEGADETH guitarist Glen Drover.

UK Petition:
We'd much appreciate it if you'd kindly sign this petition, the cut-off
date is Friday the 23rd January. Also please circulate to your friends:
NOISE LIMITERS - It has been brought to our attention that new noise
legislation is about to be introduced that is likely to virtually destroy
live music in the UK.The government wish to consider it a legal
requirement in the new tax year to introduce laws insisting anyone
applying or re-applying for an entertainment licence musthave a noise
control device fitted to the venue.This will be the final nail in the
coffin for pretty much ALL entertainment in the UK as the level at which
these devices cut the power off is ridiculously low. In our experience
any venue that has one in use cannot have any electric music as the
power isconstantly being cut mid-song - and even loud applause at the
end of a song can cut it. Venues are suffering enough as it is without
being forced to go to the expense of fittingone of these damned things.
Noise limiters are a menace to live music, and we expect thisis the
bright idea of some unelected suit in Brussels that's never been to a
gig in theirlife.Bloody politicians - why can't they all just **** off
and let us lead our lives?
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION HERE:

All Blood is Red: ‘…metal, rock, tribal, acid techno and world mixed up in a melting pot and spat out creating an original sound and packing quite a punch’- Jo Elliot (bbc.co.uk)
After two European tours supporting Killing Joke, TRIBAZIK release their debut album All Blood Is Red. Mixed by Andy Gill (Gang Of Four) and featuring the voice of Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke) on ‘Molten’ , this body of work is an energetic journey through government conspiracies and life beyond the physical realm.
All Blood is Red was produced and recorded by TRIBAZIK at Skyride Studios, North London and mixed by Andy Gill (Gang of Four, The Futureheads & Therapy) in his central London studio – the Beauchamp Building.
The TRIBAZIK trio was born in 2004. Inspired by an eclectic taste in music, their aim is to create a chunky, energetic sound with REAL organic drums and bass, electro/acid noises and solid minimal guitar and to blast it out LIVE!
All samples are played LIVE (triggered from pads around the drum kit) and include vocal chants, acid lines, industrial thuds, caustic pulses and sirens. These, accompanied by freestyle bass, heavy groove/melodic guitar and manic drums, create the high-energy idiosyncratic TRIBAZIK sound.
TRIBAZIK have supported Killing Joke on two European tours and headlined various gigs in the U.K. They intend to play every corner of the earth and are all set for blast-off. They have built up a dedicated fan base and an experienced crew consisting of stage, lighting, visuals and their very own sound guy who has worked with Placebo, The Prodigy and more recently, Jay-Z. Tribazik’s live show is a unifying sensual experience. Enigmatic images are projected behind the band in sync with the music, drawing on the potent lyrics.
Having heard the instrumental version of Molten, Jaz Coleman (legendary singer from Killing Joke) was keen to add his take on the TRIBAZIK sound. In April last year, he came over to Tribazik’s studio in North London to lay down the vocals. The Molten music video (available on an EPK on request) is an apocalyptic mix of live action and animation.

DESOLATE WAYS - New album will feature A Sorrowful Dream's female vocalist
- DESOLATE WAYS is still working in the production of their third album, which is being recorded in Nitro Sound Solutions studio and being produced by Roger Fingle (aka "Earth"), vocalist and multi-instrumentist of Blood Tears and Seduced by Suicide.
This new release will feature Josie, the female vocalist of the dark metal band A Sorrowful Dream, who will sing in the track "Winter".
About the invitation to take part on this album Josie comments: "I loved receiving the invitation to be part of Desolate Ways' new album. It's a great honour. Both bands, A Sorrowful Dream and Desolate Ways, are long time friends and already played together several times in Brazil and we always admired their music. Having the opportunity to contribute for their forthcoming album makes me feel very flattered and anxious for the result. Even both bands playing similar genres, there is a huge difference between our music, which makes everything more interesting. I hope to give a good contribution to one of the most important bands of the genre in our country, and which will definitely present another work made with extreme competence and quality."
Opeth/Ihsahn Norwegian Tour Changes
A previous announcement confirmed that Ihsahn would support Opeth for the majority of shows on their forthcoming Norwegian Tour in March. However, more detailed production planning has revealed technical and practical difficulties at many of the smaller venues, and it has proven near impossible to run the necessary production. This means that Ihsahn will only be performing at Rockefeller/Oslo on March 10th.
Ihsahn comments: “The situation is unfortunate as I have really been looking forward to this tour and put a lot of effort in preparations. Still, the practical difficulties at many of the venues would only compromise the conditions for both bands and audience so one needs to be realistic. The Oslo gig is still on though, and fans will no doubt get their monies worth at the remaining Opeth shows”
ELUVEITIE GO ACOUSTIC
Eluveitie have set April 10th as the release date for their new folk/acoustic album, entitled 'Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion', out on Nuclear Blast records.
Expect plenty of guest appearances from the likes of A.A. Nemtheanga (Primordial) and Oliver S. Tyr (Faun). The album will contain 15 folk songs, mostly written in the ancient Gaulish language.
ORANGE GOBLIN ALBUM RECORDING POSTPONED!
Orange Goblin regret that plans to record a new album in May have been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Complications beyond the bands control have disrupted the writing process and the band consider this a decision that is necessary to deliver the best album possible. The band extend their apologies to fans and also have announced that there are no touring plans in the near future. Watch this space for updates on the situation.
DEICIDE SIGN TO CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS
Veteran death metal outfit Deicide have signed a worldwide record deal with Century Media Records. The band are currently working on a follow up to the 2008 release ‘Till Death Do Us Part’, which is tentatively scheduled for release this summer.
NEW MODEL ARMY MANAGER DIES, AGED 46
Tommy Tee, Manager of New Model Army and The Almighty, has died aged 46 after suffering a sudden and completely unexpected medical emergency (a thoracic aortic dissection) on the evening of 23rd December.
Justin Sullivan, New Model Army’s frontman, says "Tommy's death leaves a huge hole in all our lives, not just professionally as the man who organised every aspect of the band's life but most especially as a friend and the best kind of road companion. And this sense of loss increases rather than decreases with each day that passes."
Tommy Tee’s career began in 1982 as New Model Army tour manager, and became known for his old school ethics to working in the music industry. He was responsible for The Almighty securing their record deal with Polydor, and has played a major part in developing NMA’s career over the years.
Candlelight Records: today confirms the extension of their cooperation with Chicago-based Battle Kommand Records. Founded by Nachtmystium vocalist/guitarist Blake Judd in 2004, Candlelight will now look after the noted underground label’s catalog around the globe; previously the deal was in place for only England and the European continent. Nachtmystium’s highly regarded catalog will be the first to find reissue under the new deal. In stores April 21, each of the band’s early recordings, namely Reign of the Malicious, Nachtmystium, The First Attacks, Demise and the highly acclaimed Instinct: Decay, will again be available for the band’s growing stateside fanbase. Reissues from Krieg, Obscurus Advocam and Glorior Belli among others will follow shortly thereafter. Bonus material is planned on many of the reissues with specifics to be confirmed at a later date.
Judd says of the cooperation, “it is with much honor that we can announce this collaboration. Music fans worldwide will now have much easier access to older BKR releases.” In addition to the reissue series, the cooperation will see new signings that Judd notes, “will maintain the unique brand identity of Battle Kommand Records.” Judd will retain control of the label’s A&R while Candlelight’s worldwide team will handle marketing and distribution. "With Candlelight's funding behind BKR's new signees,” says Judd, “I anticipate that more of our artists will be touring here and abroad. A more major push for all of our artists marks a major step for the label, and we intend to push-forward with full force."
Since its launch in 2004, Battle Kommand Records has released nearly 30 albums. The roster’s artists span black, doom, death, experimental noise and ambient rock. The label has seen cooperation in the US previously with Los Angeles-based Southern Lord Records as well direct relationships with numerous indie and underground distributors. Candlelight Records with offices in London and Philadelphia has a worldwide catalog containing over 400 titles including recordings from Emperor, Opeth, 1349, Blut Aus Nord, Crowbar, Abigail Williams, Obituary and many more. Candlelight is distributed in the United States via Caroline Distribution, EMI Music is the label’s new distributor for Canada with England and European distribution handled by Plastic Head Music.
