Concentrated News
December
Poison (USA): Bruce Johannesson,
aka C.C. Deville, 43, has been sentenced to an 80-day-period in jail
owing to drunkenness driving, a $ 1,000 fine and the seizure of his
driving licence for a year. On August 24, the US rocker damaged a few
cars in the parking near his girl's house, who got endangered and hurt
because of his driving. On October 23, a burglar stole C.C.'s guitars
and amps from his house collection while he was out for a treatment
against his alcohol addiction. We wish him to rise up from this sad
situation that money and success haven't been able to prevent him for.
Uli Jon Roth: he lives
in the UK and 8 years ago he paid £ 250,000 to buy the Tan y Bwlch
Manor estate near Aberystwyth, which is twice worth today; after being
dumped by EMI, he was declared bankrupt by the County court with his
whole name: Ulrich Hans Joachim Anton Josef Roth. We'll see how it ends...
AC/DC: Brian Johnson
appears in a cameo of the flick shot in L.A. "Goal", where
he plays himself in the role of a Newcastle fan; his only line as follows:
"Who the hell is that?", referring to the young football
player, protagonist Santiago Munez. The scene goes on and in the bar
the footballist's father intervenes like this: "He is my son!"

Scorpions: "Moment
of Glory",
already out in 2000, comes out again in a double CD with a DVD better
witnessing the performance with the Berliner Philarmoniker; the second
show was held at the Expo 2000 in hamburg, in front of a crowd including
surprised old women with furs, families with children and rockers. X-mas
is near and such a soft product like that might convince your olds that
metalheads don't always make noise!
November
ZZ Top: guitarist Billy
F. Gibbons' book "Rock and Roll Gearhead" is about to come
out; it deals with almost 200 pages containing memories, curiosities,
pics about his car and guitar collections. He wrote the opera along
with L.A. journalist and producer Tom Vickers after a 6-month-period
of labour. Mostly it concerns episodes about ZZ Top's career, but also
appearances toegther with monsters of the calibre of Janis Joplin, Jimi
Hendrix and Chuck Berry.
Ozzy Osbourne: thanks
to the biography written by his wife, "Sharon Osbourne extreme:
my autobiography", some funny anecdotes about his past life are
coming out. During the popularity of the '70s, Black Sabbath's leader
called the record company managers 'Nazis' after they invited him to
dinner. Ozzy got naked besides his socks and shoes, he imitated Hitler
and started walking goose-step. But the best is yet to come, my friends!
Ozzy took the boss's wine glass, he put his balls into that and smacked
it onto the table. He then sat on the big boss, he encircled him with
his legs and said: "Kiss me, motherfucker!". Finally he kissed
him with a French kiss.
Another time Ozzy was drunk, Sharon threw a scotch bottle at him hitting
his neck; he replied by turning at her and hitting her against the wall
so as to break two incisives of his wife.
Dimebag Darrell: Knucklenonz
Inc. has created a little statue of the wretched guitarist in a limited
edition of 3,333 exemplars.
Biohazard: singer and
bassist Evan Seinfeld has married pornstar Tera Patrick, who he's also
started to work with. We don't know which movies he will appear in,
but it seems to be a smart idea to compensate the artistic and commercial
decline of his band.
Doro Pesch: after re-recording
the song "She's Like Thunder" with German boxe championess
Regina Halmich with the new title "We Are Like Thunder", the
blond singer has finished shooting her first movie "Anuk - The
Path of the Warrior", directed by Luke Gasser and soon available
on DVD format too.
October
Gorgoroth: The
"Incipit Satan" drummer, Erlend Erichsen, has just
published via Damm Forlag a fiction book titled "Nasjonalsatanisten"
dealing with his experoences during the zenith of Black Metal. For Norwegian-speakers:

Eyes of Hate: singer
Al died a couple weeks ago. They found him dead in a hotel room. The
rest of the band is unsure what the future holds for them musically.
The whole very sad story can be found on www.myspace.com/eyesofhate.

September
James Dean: on his 50th
anniversary drawing people to his homeland village from even Malaysia,
Turkey or Bosnia, Markus Ganzherrlich wishes to remember an immortal
man, an anti-hero icon who changed the youth for being proud of expressing
himself in front of anyone and therefore becoming known as the 1st system
rebel. He kickstarted a new lifestyle, image, talking and superior mentality,
that were to endlessly influence Elvis, Kurt Cobain and several other
musicians (and actors like Brad Pitt, Mickey Rourke, or Donald Sutherland)
to this day. No fucking compromise!
Sigma Draconis: drummer
soon to be on trial for manslaughter.
Septuagint: Cees,
who has been singing in Septuagint since the founding of the band has,
after 14 years, decided to quit Septuagint. This was a very hard decision
for him, we can tell you, which he tought over for months. The reason
for leaving the band and putting the mic aside is he feels he cannot
put his 100% effort into music anymore, and he does not want to let
this become a hold back for the band. We, Pepijn, Mike, Andrew and Berry
fully respect his decision, and without any hard feelings wish him all
the best for the future, and of course we will still keep in touch and
have fun and drink some beers together, for old time, and friends sake.
So, this also means Septuagint is in search of a new vocalist. So if
you are a enthousiastic frontman who believes is up to this task, and
is able to rehearse every saturday afternoon near Nijmegen, please mail
us, and we'll get in touch with you!
Gravy'd

Voivod: R.I.P.
Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour 1959 - 2005 Denis was an amazing musician and
a very nice and humble man. I started listening to metal around the

to Voivod and I still look up to them to this day. Denis gave us a musical
legacy that we will cherish forever.

nightclub to a flat, beat and sexually abused her.

We guess that the thiefs want to sell our stuff. I and the whole band
am so fucking angry, I absolutly don't want that this sons of a bitch
are able to sell one only damned item of us! Most of the things are
usual sold things, but we hope that they sell it soon and maybe some

has suddenly a guitar, a bass or something else what you never expected
that he could buy it! Then please inform asap the police, send an email

Stigma
live at Metalcamp with Slayer, Therion and many more: come molti di
voi sapranno il 24 giugno suoneremo al Metal Camp in Slovenia, uno degli
happening musicali più importanti a livello europeo. Nell’arco dei 3
giorni del festival (24, 25 e 26 Giugno) più di 70 gruppi, accuratamente
selezionati a livello mondiale, si esibiranno sui due palchi dell’area
concerti. Noi ci esibiremo sul secondo palco, il Beach Stage, nella
stessa giornata di bands come Slayer e Therion! . In conseguenza ad
uno spiacevole episodio che ha precluso la partecipazione ad un altro
gruppo italiano, gli organizzatori hanno imposto a tutte le bands del
Beach Stage la vendita di 50 biglietti per partecipare al festival.
In origine noi non avevamo alcun tipo di imposizione per partecipare,
ma in seguito a quanto accaduto ci troviamo obbligati a dover seguire
le direttive dello staff. Sono perfettamente consapevole che 50 biglietti
sono molti ma voglio in ogni caso cercare di raggiungere il traguardo
dato che in palio per noi c’è la possibilità di suonare poco prima degli
Slayer, un nome che non necessita di alcun tipo di presentazione. Noi
siamo in possesso dello stesso tipo di biglietti acquistabili in prevendita
e li vendiamo al medesimo prezzo di prevendite, partners e organizzatori.
Una giornata a scelta tra le tre costa 39 euro (inclusa area camping),
mentre l’intero weekend 69 euro (inclusa area camping). Il festival
si svolge a Tolmin (dista pochi km dal confine italiano) in Slovenia
e sul sito del Metal Camp potrete trovare qualsiasi tipo di informazione
inerente ai servizi e al modo di raggiungere la location. E’ inutile
sottolineare quanto per noi sia un’occasione irripetibile, migliaia
di gruppi hanno inviato il loro materiale per partecipare al festival
e sono stati scartati. Siamo perfettamente consapevoli del costo e della
distanza, abbiamo però tutto il tempo per organizzarci eventualmente
in comitiva per il trasporto e passare tutti insieme tre giorni fantastici.
Vi allego la lista dei gruppi presenti e vi invito a contattarmi da
subito per prenotare il vostro biglietto. Fate girare questa mail il
più possibile e grazie del supporto! Stefano

Septuagint:
Hello Metalheads! It’s been long since the last update, but here is
what is new: There are a lot of new pictures online, from the shows
we have done in the last couple of months. So check them out at our
live picture page! Also, sad news for our Belgian friends, especially
around Leuven: the SOJO is closed! So our show we would do there has
been cancelled. But don’t worry! We also have good news! Together with
our friends of Keltgar we have sought, and found a new place to play
at the same date! You can read all about it on our news page. And of
course you can look at our concertpage to see where we wil play soon!
Then a very often asked question: what about the new album?!? We know,
it is taking long, but we are still working on it! We have done some
pre-recordings now, and are very pleased with the result so far! So
please have patience, it will come! When there’s more news to tell,
we’ll let you know! In the meantime, keep on visiting our site, or join
our forum! And keep those heads banging! Greetings and cheerzzz! SEPTUAGINT

Sadist: news

Wormfood: the
French act is a shifted and eclectic band, performing a grim, unforeseeable,
declining and immersive music. the band takes a malicious pleasure to
disconcert the listener, using provocative topics, advanced classical
arrangements, and cinematic atmospheres, with a squeaking humour...
The vocal register, in french and english, follows this tendency, alternating
in a theatrical way between death, black, gothic, punk or french variety...
an ironical and serious reflexion on the metal genre itself. their shocking
new album is scheduled for autumn 2005 on code666. website: www.wormfood.com2.com
Sigma Draconis: will
play at Bologna's Estragon on 26 March with Negura Bunget (first Italian
date!)

Deformed statement:
The stuff for the first full length DEFORMED album called "Project Torture
004" has been recorded during the first weeks of last year's summer
and is ready to release since September 2004. This date was supposed
to be a release date of our album. Unfortunately the release date is
still delayed by the label and we have to say that we don't know what
is going on with this album now. Sad to say but this is true. The problems
with Cirkus have started in the end of September, last year. During
the last four months when we asked him many times about the album, the
guy didn't answer e-mails and phonecalls and if he answered (what happened
only a few times!), there were only shitty and not serious answers.
It seems he doesn't know the meaning of words such as deal, band, label
or promotion. He behaves like he didn't even know what the ideas of
underground releasing are. We have to mention that he ignores both us
and the people who ask him about this album. He answers in totally disrespectful
way and he's not honest! We don't know when our work will see the daylight,
because the label doesn't give even a piece of information about the
album! There are some other labels interested in it but in spite of
the oral agreement and the fact of not possesing the actual rights to
release the album, Cirkus Prod is not interested in cooperation with
other companies, driven by unknown, senseless and illogical reasons.
We really don't know what will happen in the case of our album but it
seems that cooperation with Cirkus Prod is not and will not be working
as it was expected and agreed to. We don't understand the actions of
this guy and what he is planning to do. DEFORMED officially parts ways
with this label. For us this is definitely a closed chapter. We want
to apologize all distribution companies/labels, bands, friends and all
the people we are in contact with. Unfortunately we can't do anything
and as we mentioned earlier, we don't know what will happen with our
CD. We hope you understand this situation. - In other news, all the
time we are working on the new material which is going to be released
on split cd with some killer band - more info coming soon. The recording
session is planning for June and release date for September. - In the
end of the March we will start touring in Czech Republic and Slovakia
together with ABSTRACT and ADULTERY. The dates are following: Dawn Of
Spring tour II 2005 (with ADULTERY, ABSTRACT) 25.III.2005. Hradec Kralove
- El Diablo (CZE) 26.III.2005. Techonin - KD (CZE) 27.III.2005. Praha

Besides the
death by shotgun of the man who created the legendary riffs of the 90's
Metal that saved Metalagainst Grunge, Diamond Darrell,
let me also remind this: Danny Sugerman, longtime manager of
the Doors and the principal caretaker of the Los Angeles band's
legend, has died in West Hollywood after a long battle with cancer.
He was 50. Sugerman became involved with the Doors as a teenage fan
during the group's heyday in the late-60s. He worked as a runner for
the band, and idolised flamboyant lead singer Jim Morrison. After Morrison's
death in Paris in 1971, he became increasingly involved with the surviving
members' career and eventually served as their manager. At his death,
he was partnered with co-manager Jeff Jambol. Beyond his work on the
business side, Sugerman promoted the Doors tirelessly and prolifically
as a writer. With Jerry Hopkins, he co-authored the lurid 1980 Doors
biography No One Here Gets Out Alive, which became a best seller and
reignited interest in the band's music. He also wrote or edited other
