THE OCEAN tour diary up on MetalKult.com

Germany's THE OCEAN are currently out on their first ever North American tour and have been having a blast playing to American and Canadian crowds. THE OCEAN main man, Robin Staps, has been chronicling their experiences for MetalKult.com.

Here's an excerpt from Robin's first update from the road:
“As a European in America, you sometimes feel alienated. I have been here many times before and have actually lived in the States for a year, and still I don't get used to certain aspects of life here. No drinking in the streets! That's ridiculous... walking out of the venue with a beer in my hands, I had bouncers chase me every night since I got here, I just keep forgetting it cause it's so unreal for me.

If anyone tried to make that a law in Germany there would be riots in the streets! In a city like Berlin you will see flocks of people just sitting out on the streets at night drinking and talking and partying until the early morning hours. In Madrid they call it botellones, meeting up with your friends in a park with a stereo or a guitar and a few bottles of red wine. It's a part of culture; it's unimaginable to do without. And despite all this, I don't get the impression that there are fewer alcoholics in America than in Spain or Germany.”

Head to http://MetalKult.com to check out the entire first installment of Robin's diary, including photos and more of what life is like on the road for THE OCEAN!

Meanwhile Metalzone.gr uploaded a video interview that was recorded on the day before the band´s show in Athens in June 2008. Click here and check out what Robin Staps has to say: http://metalzone.gr

AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE release first single off debut album "Total Brutal"

AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE just released the first single off their eagerly awaited debut "Total Brutal". The track "If it Bleeds, We Can Kill It" features the voice of Ahhnold as Dutch from the movie Predator screaming back and forth with the Predator himself! Click here to check it out: http://www.myspace.com

“In the first verse Ahhnold is talking trash about how he's going to take Predator down, but in the second verse Predator comes back spittin' his evil game. This is the classic struggle of good and evil but with way bigger muscles and more brutal double bass. In fact, I think it's the breakdown about 1/2 way through the song that crushes Predator's evil once and for all” comments band member Tim Lambesis.

One could not pick a better track for the first single off "Total Brutal". Mainly because Predator is one of the best movies ever made in the history of man and received a countless amount of awards at the 1987 Oscars (Best Actor Ever, Best Chest Explosion, Best Use of Chameleon-like Camouflage to Kill as Many People as You Can, Cast Most Likely To Go On To Be Governors, etc). Or at least we think it did. And if it didn't then it should have seeing as Ahhnold once again saved the world, this time from aliens who wanted nothing more than to peel the skin off our bodies and make trophies out of our skulls.

Here's what front-man Ahhnold had to say about the band's first single:
"Most bands put all of their good songs first. Instead I decided to release track 15 first to prove that this album is Total Brutal from start to finish. If you like this song, then get ready for 17 tracks of punishing brutality when the CD finally hits.... or when I hit you in the face for not buying it. Whichever happens first, at least we know things only get better from here."

"Total Brutal" track listing:
1. Hello California
2. Get to the Choppa
3. Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers
4. All of the Songs Sound the Same
5. I am a Cybernetic Organism, Living Tissue Over (Metal) Endoskeleton
6. Come With Me if You Want to Live
7. What it's like to be a Singer at Band Practice
8. Who is Your Daddy, and What Does He Do?
9. You Have Just Been Erased
10. Broo-Tall Song Idea
11. Here is Subzero, Now Plain Zero
12. So Far, So Good, So Let's Talk About It
13. Screw You (Benny)
14. Why?
15. If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It
16. It's Not A Tumor
17. Not So Hidden Track

"Total Brutal", available July, 25th (D/A/CH/I) / July, 28th (rest of Europe)!

04. Vargaskall

07. Viddernas Man

FALCONER shot a video for the song "Carnival Of Disgust" at the medieval Vadstena castle on a windy and cold April day. The clip will begin airing later this summer to coincide with the new album's release.

FALCONER guitarist Stefan Weinerhall previously stated about "Among Beggars And Thieves": "The lyrics will all be about Swedish medieval life and episodes. Not a concept album really but still something in that direction. What I decided early on was that it wouldn't become "Northwind Pt. 2". "Northwind" is as good as it can be, therefore we'll make things a tad different this time."

"Among Beggars And Thieves" will be released the 22nd of August (D/A/CH/I) / the 25th of August (rest of Europe)!

No new BOLT THROWER album in 2008, two club shows announced

UK extreme metal pioneers BOLT THROWER have issued the following update:

"We've spent the last year trying to write songs for a new album, planning to go into the studio this summer. Unfortunately, after a lot of thought, we have had to make the difficult decision to postpone the recording indefinitely.

We know everybody says that their new album is better than their last, but with us we really believed that. From day one we made it clear that we'd stop recording when we felt we'd written the ultimate BOLT THROWER album; we just never knew when that would be. We kind of took for granted that each release would get better and better. But we have realized now that our last release, 'Those Once Loyal', turned out to be that album, and basically the new stuff we have written just doesn't match up to it.

We have a lot of pride in our back catalogue, and we refuse to turn into one of the many bands (like the ones we grew up listening to) who end up releasing crap, and we're also not prepared to compromise by instead releasing an album of cover versions or a 'best-of' album.


Sorry to disappoint those of you looking forward to hearing new BOLT THROWER songs, but we always said that we would never release anything we weren't happy with or that, in our view, didn't at least match up to our previous work.

For those of you living in Holland, Germany and Belgium, you will get the chance to see BOLT THROWER live soon, as there are a few select shows lined up. The confirmed shows are:

August 7th - Atak in Enschede, Netherlands. This is our second home, and we've played at Atak on every tour for the last 18 years. Sadly, the club will be closing down this month and they will be moving to a new building in the autumn. So we were chuffed when they contacted us and offered to re-open for one night, so we can say farewell to this cult club and be the last band to ever play there. We decided that the tickets will be free and we will be informing you soon on the lineup and how to get tickets.

August 8th - Party.San Festival in Bad Berka, Germany. As headliner we will play a longer set than usual, so expect to hear a lot of songs we haven't played for a while.

August 9th - Hof ter Lo in Antwerp, Belgium. For this show we will be joined by the best and upcoming bands from the Benelux. The confirmed support bands are: GOD DETHRONED, BORN FROM PAIN, THE SETUP and ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK. Tickets are 11 Euros."

Massachusetts Metal Giants UNEARTH commence work on new album

Massachusetts metallers UNEARTH have begun work the follow-up to 2006's "III: In the Eyes of Fire", tentatively due in October via Metal Blade Records. The bulk of the CD's instrumental tracks are being recorded at Massachusetts' System Recording Studios with producer Adam Dutkiewicz (Killswitch Engage guitarist), while the album's drum tracks are being laid to tape by drummer Derek Kerswill (Kingdom Of Sorrow, Seemless) at Zing Studios. The as-yet-untitled record is said to feature the band's "most dynamic material to date," combining strong tension and release, abundant guitar solos and a bulldozing power-groove.

"HEAVY METAL SHRED JuneHEM! NOW WITH 50% MORE GUITAR SOLOS!! If the new UNEARTH songs were laundry detergent then this is what it would say on the box," according to Buz. "Fortunately for all you metal maniacs, it's not laundry soap but a mind-blowing journey consisting of epic mosh and shred, so we had to call in the one man who could wrangle such a massive beast - Adam Dutkiewicz. We are very excited to be working with him again and between 40 oz. chugging and doing burn-outs in Ken's '82 Corvette, we are recording what will definitely be the best album of our career.

A "teaser" look at us working in the studio can be accessed via our MySpace page. Additional looks at the recording of the album, including fly-on-the-wall video footage, riffs and excerpts of new music will be made available in the coming weeks.”

On August 1, UNEARTH will make a special main-stage appearance at the 2008 Wacken Open Air festival. Wacken is the largest exclusively metal music festival in the world and will see UNEARTH share the stage with Iron Maiden, Carcass, At The Gates and more…

THE ROTTED added to Topshop/Topman's instore playlist

THE ROTTED have been surprised to find that the track "A Brief Moment Of Regret" from their forthcoming album "Get Dead Or Die Trying" has been added to highstreet clothes store giants Topshop/Topman's instore playlist. The track sits alongside work from other artists such as Goldfrapp, Supergrass, Elvis Costello and Kate Bush.

Says frontman Ben McCrow: "This is a very trippy, mellow track with some very subtle, clear vocals, it is on the album as a mood inducing track. The title represents moments of clarity we have occasionally, and is sandwiched between songs about drug induced chaos, it offers a relaxed state of euphoria before the listener is thrown back into the venom that is the rest of the album. Such is the way of things in our everyday lives."

"Get Dead Or Die Trying" will be released the 27th of June (D/A/CH/I) / 30th of June (rest of Europe)!

CATTLE DECAPITATION in the studio in August

San Diego extreme metallers CATTLE DECAPITATION have issued the following update:

“We'd like to announce that we'll be returning to the studio in August with Billy Anderson once again at the helm! We'll also be incorporating the abilities of Zach Ohren for the recording of the drums! The album's title is being withheld until we decide to warn the public, but so far here are a few choice song titles of which we'll be playing at all the shows this week "Tooth Enamel & Concrete", "Regret & the Grave", "We Are Horrible People" & "The Body Farm".

Once again Wes Benscoter will be handling the art and we've already done a truly disturbing photo shoot that yielded a bounty of gore and the brutality of human existence for use in the layout which will be done by our graphic guru, Cain!”

Preview THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER's "Everything Went Black" Video exclusively on HeadbangersBlog.com! THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER win "Best Underground Band" award at Metal Hammer UK's Golden Gods

Make sure to head over to http://headbangersblog.mtv.com to check out the brand new video from THE BLACK DAHILA MURDER for the track “Everything Went Black” off the band's latest release “Nocturnal”. The video was directed by David Brodsky of MyGoodEye and is based off of George A. Romero's 1982 classic horror film Creepshow.

Here's what vocalist Trevor Strnad has to say about the band's latest video: “Just in time for the big Summer Slaughter tour, it is our pleasure to present our seventh music video, “Everything Went Black”! After the last two videos were comprised of live/goofing around footage, we wanted to do something different this time around. The Creepshow theme was an idea of Brian's, and I think it was the perfect way to represent what we're all about… classic horror elements, and ridiculous amounts of fun.

The video was directed by Dave Brodsky, who was selected for his prior involvement with The Red Chord, and we are very stoked with the outcome. He did a really great job with recreating the campy comic book vibe of the old Creepshow series. For any of you new jacks that aren't familiar with Creepshow, you better get your asses in gear and check it out! I must commend Dave for tolerating my most horrible acting skills (“Dude, you smiled in EVERY part!”) and John K for being the best actor this horror business has ever seen. Stay morbid and we'll see you soon!”

In other news THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER have won the award for the Best Underground band at the prestigious Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in London, England. Click http://de.youtube.com to view fan-filmed footage of the presentation of the award (by the one and only Oderus Urungus!).

CELLADOR announce new guitar player

“Summer has arrived, and as mentioned to our auditionees we set the start of the season as the deadline for announcing a new guitarist.

Before we announce it we want to thank the hundreds of you who messaged us about the spot, and even more to the several dozen of you who ACTUALLY MADE THE EFFORT to learn and record the demo songs we asked you to record for us. We had some phenomenal (and even decently well known) players come forth with serious shred skill.

Thanks a bunch! We salute you all as new friends and brothers!

And with that we are happy to announce YORD into the band as CELLADOR's 2nd guitarist. We feel YORD is a perfect fit in CELLADOR because he quickly showed to have all the elements we needed in a band member. Not only does he have an energetic playing style, but also a strong work ethic, selfless attitude, and above all an honest nature.

The guy takes guitar like its a full time job, 8 hours a day SHRED SHRED SHRED all day, jam by night. On top of that we found him to be local to us as well, which bottom line is always an advantage for someone auditioning. Despite only having about 12 days to learn our whole set, Yord learned all our songs and filled in for our last show back in June, which we set up as basically a test show for whomever we were most considering.

MISSION SUCCEEDED YORD

We look forward to reaching that next level and materializing our new vision with YORD at our side! With his addition our new material is looking stronger than ever!”

Metal Blade Records signs BISON

Metal Blade Records is very pleased to announce the signing of Vancouver Canada's BISON, a band just as heavy as the beast they are named after. When BISON took its first step amps were scorched and drums were smashed. Born of the ashes of seminal Vancouver skate-thrash band S.T.R.E.E.T.S., BISON are every headbanger's dream. Their riffs are colossal and flow like a mighty river into a sea of fuzzed out shredding. Their message is punk rock angst and revolution, with the occasional nod to white wizards, the king of swine and a mythical beast called the "Stokasaurus".

Their debut album "Earthbound" captured their massive live sound on tape, garnering international recognition and a deal with Metal Blade Records. BISON is currently recording their Metal Blade debut "Quiet Earth" with Jesse Gander (3 Inches of Blood, Subhumans, Mass Grave, S.T.R.E.E.T.S.) at The Hive Studios in Burnaby, BC and are currently slated for a fall 2008 release.

Here's what BISON has to say about their new deal with Metal Blade: "We are pleased that our newly forged alliance with the dark lords of the blade has come to fruition. We shall slay with honor and wasted servitude. Using the awesome power of the riff, we shall lay waste, in solidarity with the legions of the righteous soldiers of metal. Now as one, we look to the future to conquer for generations to come."

“BISON has all the ingredients we look for in a successful band; strong work ethic, great live band, good support team and a sound straight out of a BISON stampeded, thundering and brutal” Metal Blade Records

BISON is:
James Farwell – Guitar/Vocals
Dan And – Guitar/Vocals
Masa Anzai – Bass
Brad Mackinnon – Drums

“The name is Bison, and they are heavy as fu*k…” – Thrasher Magazine

“...there's no doubting that this Canadian quartet live up to the hefty billing their choice of moniker suggests” – Metal Hammer

“One listen to Earthbound tells you that the group is serious about what its doing, two listens make you forget about hair metal, and by the third listen, even the foppiest of indie-pop fans will remember why amps go up to 10.” – The Georgia Straight

Thank you to everyone for keeping us in mind through these last 3 years since we last made a record. I hope you haven't lost faith in us, this record is gonna be killer.” Matthew

AMON AMARTH announce "Bloodshed Over Bochum" shows

4 Evenings - 4 Shows - 4 Albums - BLOODSHED OVER BOCHUM!

AMON AMARTH will be reconquering the past by the end of 2008 and play their entire first four albums on four nights in a row in the Zeche in Bochum, Germany.

28.12.2008 ONCE SENT FROM THE GOLDEN HALL
29.12.2008 THE AVENGER
30.12.2008 THE CRUSHER
31.12.2008 VERSUS THE WORLD

Apart from playing the four albums in their entirety each night there will be a best of mix from "Fate Of Norns", "With Oden On Our Side" and of course the new upcoming album!

Additionally all attending fans will have the chance for a meet and greet with the band, to obtain special merchandise sold at each show and to celebrate a big New Years Eve Party on the 31st of December!

”We've had plans of doing a smaller club show tour for quite some time now where we'd mainly play older songs, but that has been very hard to pull off. So when this idea was brought to us of re-visiting the 4 first full length albums at Bochum in Germany we were all up for it. This will be a once in a life time chance for us to play and our fans to experience all the old songs that we don´t have room for in the setlist anymore, but are still too good to not play! Of course we'll also play songs from the new upcoming album, as well as "With Oden On Our Side" and "Fate Of Norns". Since these shows will be unique we thought we?'d might as well record the shows too! We're thrilled over this event and look forward to the shows. It will be some hard work and preparation playing around 50 -60 different songs in 4 days. Some songs we haven't played for a very, very long time and some we've never played live at all. But challenges are something that encourages us! See you all there!”

ARSIS - New drummer announced
Lead guitarist/vocalist James Malone of Virginia based Death Metal outfit ARSIS offers this band update:
Although we had a great run over the past year and a half with drummer Darren Cesca (whose work is featured on the band's latest album, We Are The Nightmare), we have decided to stop working with him in ARSIS. The reasoning behind this decision is simply differences in personalities and an overall difference in direction. Darren is an amazing musician and we harbor no ill feelings towards him. We wish him all the best. We are most excited to announce that Alex Tomlin, a long time friend of ours and an outstanding drummer, will be replacing Darren. His first shows with us will be on the In Thrash We Trust-tour starting this Wednesday.

MELECHESH - Searching for new bass player
Sumerian thrashing Black Metal pioneers MELECHESH are now seeking to audition a new bass player to join the band as an active member.


The band is looking for a serious and reliable bass player, who can positively contribute to the band. This person should be prepared for future touring and recordings with MELECHESH and is able to do backing vocals on stage.


Comment by founding member Ashmedi, Interest in the MELECHESH themes is paramount and the candidate must understand our mindset in striving to define an own style in Extreme Metal both on a musical and a spiritual level
Since 2006 Al'Hazred has not been an active member in the band and hasn't been playing live with the band since 2004. We would like to thank him for the years he was contributing with MELECHESH and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. We recruited session bass player Kawn who is still to this date our live bass player and will continue to be until we find a permanent member, so this does not affect our scheduled future live appearances”

Send in your information (such as: photos, info on your musical background, audio and/or video samples...) to melechesh@melechesh.com!
Since the band rehearses in the Netherlands they recommend that the bass player needs to be from the area in and around the Benelux but will not rule out anyone from other places!
In other news, MELECHESH will headline this year's Hell's Pleasure Festival in Poessneck, Germany taking place on July 18th – 19th!

PSYCROPTIC - Sign with Nuclear Blast
Nuclear Blast have signed the Tasmanian Technical Death Metal band devils PSYCROPTIC.


US A&R Gerardo Martinez about the signing: We are beyond excited to be working with one of the BEST Technical Death Metal bands in the world right now. We feel the band will reach the status they deserve in a short period of time.


Also the band is euphoric about the cooperation: To say that all of us are excited to be working with Nuclear Blast is quite an understatement! We're over the moon! Nuclear Blast has always been the pinnacle of labels within the Metal realm, and to be signed with them is a huge honour for us...and to be the first Tasmanian band to ever be on the label is a pretty cool bonus as well. The artist roster is nothing short of amazing, and for us to be added to it...well, we couldn't be happier!

EDGUY - New album "Tinnitus Sanctus" out in November!


As previously reported a few weeks ago EDGUY have entered the Gate Studios in Wolfsburg to record the follow-up of their chart breaker album "Rocket Ride". The new album will be produced by Sascha Paeth and is scheduled to be released in November 2008. The album will be entitled "Tinnitus Sanctus" and Tobias Sammet has got the following news in store: "The title just refers to the wall of sound that will bulldoze you. Let's be modest:

We have ten extraordinary songs and this new album is gonna be our ticket to the hall of fame alongside with LED ZEPPELIN, BLACK SABBATH and AC/DC. There won't be a hit-single this time, not even a flop-single, haha; not only because most songs are too long for a single, but also because for a single we had to produce way more stuff, lose money and need a time frame to release it. The album would come later then and that would suck. For the record: Musically, we don't go back to the roots. It's not the "Legacy of Mandrake part 2" and it's not a little brother of Rocket Ride either. It's a new album and we've set off to new horizons once more! The stuff sounds really broad, very anthemic, heavy and ballsy.

We've kept our trademarks and still there are a lot of elements that are different to anything we've done before. I know what some fans June think, because if my favourite bands would have come up with statements like that I would have been scared to death, but in our case I am sure this could be the album we'll be measured by in the future."

SUICIDE SILENCE - TO HEADLINE SUMMER SLAUGHTER UK TOUR

Californian extreme metal wunderkinds SUICIDE SILENCE have announced that after the phenomenal response they received on the sold out Parkway Drive tour in June they will be heading back over to the UK to headline the inaugural Summer Slaughter UK tour in August & September, with the diverse yet extreme bill be completed by As Blood Runs Black (USA, Mediaskare), Abigail Williams (USA, Candlelight Records) , Born Of Osiris (USA Sumerian Records), Annotations Of An Autopsy (UK, Seige Of Amida Records) and The Berzerker (AUS, Earache Records) making this tour the extreme tour of 2008.

Suicide Silence vocalist Mitch Lucker comments on their UK return- “We cannot wait to return to the UK & headline the Summer Slaughter tour overseas. The Parkway Drive tour was amazing & the fans were some of the best & craziest we've ever encountered. The Summer Slaughter lineup is a great one, so don't miss out! We'll be hanging out before & after the shows as always, so be sure and say hello. See you in late August, early September!”

The Summer Slaughter tour is already established in the US and the tour's creator Ash Avildsen from booking agent TKO is extremely excited to be bringing the tour over to the UK - “We started the Summer Slaughter Tour in 2007 w/ Necrophagist and Decapitated to give true fans of extreme music the best club festival line-up possible for the cheapest price possible. For North America we try to bring as much anticipated talent from overseas as we can while still including the best domestic bands available. This will be the first year for Summer Slaughter UK and we are trying to have the same overseas excitement we do here in the states, this time bringing American bands to the UK. While the inaugural line-up for the UK is more focused on younger extreme bands than the US or Canadian line-ups, we still feel it is showcasing a lot of different styles in the extreme metal world and are excited to launch Summer Slaughter UK in and anticipate it will become a yearly force to be reckoned with. We have four US bands (2 making their overseas debut), one UK band and one Australian band, we proudly present to you Summer Slaughter UK 2008!”

With the release of their album - ‘The Cleansing' - Suicide Silence have created what can only be described as one of the most devastating and overall brutal debut albums that's come along in some time, melding the most destructive elements of death, grind and hardcore with plenty of thuggish breakdowns and technical riffing that never compromises on sheer blunt force trauma, this is tailor made to go totally apeshit too. ‘The Cleansing' when released in the US in September 07 debuted at number 94 in the Billboard chart making it the highest new entry for a debut album for any Century Media artist.

The band are now gearing up to tour the US again during the summer on what has to be one of the most anticipated tours – the ‘Rockstar Engery Junehem' tour where they'll be playing alongside Slipknot, Machine Head and Disturbed – for the full line up, tour dates and the bands videos check out www.myspace.com/suicidesilence

KIVIMETSÄN DRUIDI - Signs to Century Media Records

Century Media Records and Finnish symphonic fantasy/folk metallers Kivimetsän Druidi have signed a worldwide record deal. Kivimetsän Druidi, who played a massive European tour supporting fellow Finnish folkmetalheads Korpiklaani last October and November, have entered Noice Camp studio in Turku in order to record their forthcoming debut album due to be released at the end of October 2008.

“Kivimetsän Druidi members are extremely pleased with the deal with Century Media Records whose impressive catalogue speaks for itself. It is great to be a part of the Century Media family with such awesome bands like Turisas, Strapping Young Lad, Lacuna Coil and Arch Enemy.”

During the summer Kivimetsän Druidi will play only a handful of festival gigs as they are busy recording their forthcoming album, but when the autumn comes they will tour extensively both in Finland and abroad.

LACUNA COIL - Want YOU to be part of their DVD

Italian Goth Metal Icons LACUNA COIL have launched a very special contest on Youtube asking their fans to contribute to their upcoming DVD. 3 favourite clips will be featured on the DVD which is scheduled for release later this year.

From the band:

“As most of you know we're at home right now writing songs for our new album. However, we're also working on something else very special as well – and we want YOU to be a part of it….

We're putting together a special DVD that will be all about the “Karmacode” album and all of the tours that we have done over the past 2 years.

And of course all of the fun and good times that we had with all of you while we were out there promoting “Karmacode”! We know we have some of the best fans in the world and feel we have to celebrate you by giving you a feature on the DVD.

We have created this youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/lacunacoil, so you can send us stuff that you have filmed that relates to either LACUNA COIL or “Karmacode”.

This can be anything like for example:

- Any of our live performances.

- We would love to see videos from the American Stone Sour or Rob Zombie tours.

- You meeting us and hanging out with us.

- Home made videos for songs from “Karmacode”.

- Videos of “Karmacode” related artwork.

- “Karmacode” karaoke sessions with your crazy friends.

Just make sure you keep the following things in mind:

- Please read through the terms and conditions in the column on the left of our youtube-channel http://www.youtube.com/lacunacoil,. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

- Your footage must feature in its headline: Lacuna Coil official DVD competition

- Only use footage that you shot yourself. So no borrowing images or music from other people or bands. We know this is very tempting, but we want your own creativity and footage with our music. If a clip features other people's work we cannot use it.

- Please make sure we can contact you if your feature gets picked for the DVD, because we will need a “high resolution” version that is suitable for DVD and we need to officially clear the usage with you.

- Please send in your material before June 30th, this is the drop dead deadline.

Sending us your clips is easy: Just upload your clip to your Youtube account, then add it to our channel by making it a video-comment our short introductory clip.

Obviously, others will comment on your clip and the most popular ones end up on the DVD. So, make sure you tell your friends about this!

We are looking forward to seeing your clips and looking back on some of the precious moments we shared with you.

Thank you everyone! This will be fun!” (LACUNA COIL, June 2008)

ABORTED - Post studio report online; full album stream @ MySpace NOW

If you want to have further insights into ABORTED's hard work on their stunning new album “Strychnine.213”, which will be released via Century Media Records this month (see below for the specific release date in your territory), watch a brand-new studio report at the following link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eNOucVkU0w

To listen to this diverse and dynamic lesson in murderous brutality, head over to http://www.myspace.com/abortedmetal, where you can exclusively stream the entire album until the end of this week!

“Strychnine.213” sees the band combining their undeniable live energy with a powerhouse production from Eric Rachel (The Red Chord, The Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid etc.) and a “fu*k you' rock'n roll” approach to the overly edited, sterile sounding death metal records of today allowing ABORTED to retain their vicious roots while evolving in terms of melody, musical virtuosity and vigor.

“Strychnine.213” reinforces the notion that ABORTED have doubtlessly developed into extreme metal's most promising new breed and the album will be available on the following release dates in a special O-card packaging with alternate cover artwork and a blistering cover of “Slaughtered” (originally by PANTERA) as bonus track.

OUT MONDAY, June 23, 2008.

POISONBLACK - New album "A Dead Heavy Day" out in September; Studio report part I online NOW

Sensational Finnish goth metal masters POISONBLACK featuring former Sentenced-vocalist Ville Laihiala are back with a vengeance! Their brand-new album “A Dead Heavy Day” will be released via Century Media Records in August/September 2008 (see below for the exact release date in your territory) and you can now watch part one of a studio report allowing further insights into very Finnish recording sessions @ YouTube, just follow this link:

“Dead Heavy Sessions – Part I” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XZdvnqZt34

On their highly anticipated third effort “A Dead Heavy Day”, Laihiala once again threw himself into the abyss of his mind and soul to create gloomy, literally dead heavy songs that are as personal and heart-felt as possible, he adds:

“As usual it took a year of adventures in life and relationships to put my innermost feelings into the shape of songs. Everything is straight from inside of my head. Compositions and lyrics are supposed to support each other as good as possible to express my innermost emotions.”

POISONBLACK recorded “A Dead Heavy Day” at Soundmix Studio in their hometown Oulu with Kari Vähäkuopus, which put them in the right mindset for what the band refers to as an easy and quite relaxed recording experience. Still, make no mistake! Musically the band strived for a dirtier and more rocking sound than before. Hence, special credits go out to Aksu Hanttu (Entwine), who mixed the album at Grooveland Studio in Lahti, for understanding what sonic texture POISONBLACK were looking for. Guitarist Janne Markus sounds confident and happy about the final result: “He totally got that we wanted: a heavier, yet transparent sound.”

The single “Bear The Cross” will only be released in Finland on August 13, 2008. It doesn't only feature two brand-new album songs, but also an exclusive semi-acoustic live track the band performed on Oulu's Radio Mega. “Bear The Cross” is likely to continue the success of POISONBLACK's last single “Rush”, which entered the Finnish single charts on #5. The song had been taken from the band's 2006 album “Lust Stained Despair” which achieved a phenomenal position #2 in the Finnish album charts.

Furthermore, new POISONBLACK tourdates will be announced soon, so stay tuned for that and prepare yourself for “A Dead Heavy Day” released in the UK on Monday, 1st September, 2008.

With the band's highly anticipated debut album “Pedal To The Metal” set for release all across Europe on August 18th, 2008, these guys are well prepared to make a kick-start scene to the international music scene!

Bassist Tyler already looks forward to bringing some live action to the US & Europe and guarantees a hell of a show:

“Expect smoke, lasers, fanny packs, hot chicks, teased hair and the kinds of things you'll be embarrassed to remember the morning after. We wrote killer songs about the art of getting down, dangerous females, school being out and other cool stuff so we'll be whipping out new material from our upcoming Century Media debut, “Pedal To The Metal”, throughout the tours. We hope to see all y'all at our shows. Don't be shy to come talk to us cuz we love all our fans and we care about what you have to say.”

BBABH's sound is best described as a modern-day mash-up of Motley Crue and Journey, and guitarist Shred Sean is destined to become one of the most talked about players in the genre with his bombastic shredding techniques. BLESSED BY A BROKEN HEART have created a universal soundscape for the masses that knows no limitations. Everyone can relate to these tracks and it is now up to you to let go, give in to your desires and have nothin' but a good time.

Serpent Cult HEAVY duty metal.

The heaviest band of this years entire Roadburn Festival? We certainly think so.
Their self-titled debut album for Rise Above was recently recorded in the UK at The Priory with Greg
from Esoteric. The un-mixed version sounds sick enough as it is. To give it some extra weight (
like it really needs it!) the session is currently currently being mixed by the maser of heaviness - Billy Anderson.
This monster will be unleashed in September.

Obituary "Set to release new EP"

Vocalist John Tardy of the Florida-based death metal veterans OBITUARY has issued the following update:

"What a great weekend! We have been working really hard on this new EP [entitled 'Left to Die'] and Saturday night we finished it. I am totally psyched about this and can't wait to get it to you.

"I am not sure about the release date yet, but I'll post it as soon as I know. Once again, Mark Prator and RedRoom Recorders really helped us out to get this done. Markie, you rule...thanks for everything!!!

"Most of you probably know that we built our own studio for the recording of the 'Xecutioner's Return' CD. We tracked this new EP in our studio and are really happy with the sounds we are getting. Because of our limited, but growing, ProTools HD experience, we lean heavily on Mark for his guidence and help. We then take all those tracks to RedRoom where we put it all together. This process of being able to record right here in our own studio whenever we want has been an unbelievable asset to our writing and recording abilities!

"This EP will contain four songs: two new ones, that are heavy as balls. A new 2008 studio recording of 'Slowly We Rot'. 'Slowly' is one of the first songs we ever wrote and of all our songs it gets played every show! It is interesting to hear this song re-recorded almost 23 later. Unbelievable! You have to hear it. 'Dethroned Emperior' is a song by CELTIC FROST that we sometimes play live or just while jammming in the studio. Because we enjoy it so much we recorded it for this EP as well.

"I feel like we just got home from the first leg of our European festival tour and now we leave again Wednesday to start the second leg: Austria, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany and Italy... coming up!!!! I hope you come out and see us!"


OBITUARY's latest album, "Xecutioner's Return", was released last summer via Candlelight Records. The CD was mixed at RedRoom Recorders and was mastered in June at Morrisound Studios in Tampa. The band once again worked with artist Andreas Marschall, who has previously created the art for "The End Complete" and the group's last record, "Frozen in Time".

As you June have noticed lately, things have been in constant motion on the DAGOBA camp these days!
You can now watch the third episode of the interviews conducted during the recording sessions of French metallers' third album "Face the Colossus". After drummer Franky Costanza and bassist Werther, here's guitarist Izakar's interview.
On other news, Franky's fans will be happy to hear that their favourite drummer has just been hired by French metal legend NIGHTMARE to perform with them at Slovenia's Metal Camp! Franky is stepping in after drummer David Amore had to cancel his participation.
NIGHTMARE's set at Metal Camp is scheduled for July 7th at 17:00 on the Main Stage.


Imperial Vengeance sign to Candlelight Records

"Imperial Vengeance is a British metal act formed in mid-2007, originally being a studio based collaborative between C. Edward-Alexander ( guitars/vox/orchestration) and David Bryan.(Bass/Lyrics). Inspired by the glory days of the British Empire, a collection of songs presenting a range of subjects influenced by the colourful social and military histories, theatre, literature and mythologies started to materialise- and by March 2008 the duo produced a self released 2-disc DVDROM package "Death: August & Royal" to much critical acclaim. Radio appearances and a growing interest soon followed, and a special limited box set edition of this release was made available via the bands' MySpace page.


Stylistically the music incorporates elements from a broad musical palette including black metal and classical music, the band is primarily rooted as a metal outfit.


The partnership between Alexander and Bryan has very clearly defined roles- the former being the composer and orchestrator whilst the latter works as lyricist and art director, though for live appearances the duo have conscripted the talents of Elle Torry and James Murray (guitars) with returning session drummer Bill Drury to accompany the two core members into the onstage entourage."
The band had this to say
From both our points of view, signing to Candlelight is a fantastic achievement mainly because of the integrity of the label,and that it seems to value bands and artistes that produce original works of meaningful/artistic meriteting
You can check out the band at the following http://www.myspace.com/imperialvengeanceuk


Two new US signings on Season Of Mist

Season of Mist hands the world two more solid reasons to either idolize or despise the US. Aligning with powerful new audio assassins, the independent label sees to it that the south rises and reigns over the hard rock / heavy metal plains. These bands of brothers take shape in two forms; the elder, bitter and rejuvenated lifers with nothing left to lose and the young, heavy, hungry southern sons of the mountain's music and moonshine.

THE SIGN OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS

With devastating demos under their sleeves and college degrees finally out of the way and on their wall, this mountain metal quartet is poised and ready to take southern culture and its heavy heritage to the masses. Seeping with infectious riffs, soulful vocals and all-around stump stomping songs, the band's debut, "Of Mountains and Moonshine", will surely lead them to headlining status at summer festivals, commercial radio specialty shows and keg party smoke circles across the country and the world.
The band comments on this new alignment:
"We're beyond excited to begin a long lasting and fruitful partnership with Season of Mist! It's a deep mark of pride to become part of a family which has brought along so many influential artists. Steeped in moonshine and almighty riffs, THE SIGN OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS' music breathes oil into your lungs while it elevates you up the Smokey Appalachia Mountains. As southern boys, we take pride in our past as we trudge on and strive to make our mark in the modern world. This effort is now strengthened by the hand of this heavy record label. We welcome all with the open arms of southern hospitality to this loud- ass, gut-bucket of American heavy metal!"
THE SIGN OF THE SOUTHERN CROSS "Of Mountains and Moonshine" is due out in October 2008. Look for the band on tour late summer, early autumn. Check www.myspace.com/southerncrossband for more information.

OUTLAW ORDER

In June 2008, the US offices of Season of Mist were nearly destroyed due to a deluge of water damage and the resulting attack of black toxic mold. Can this be a direct result of the volume voodoo unleashed by the signing of a certain southern, outlaw organization?

Yeah, sure N'awlins is located in the southern United States but doesn't mean it belongs to it. It is no longer part of the so-called, stereo-typical southern region. They have finally seceded. NOLA is now its own soveriegn nation, leading the rest of the country & even the world in a revolution of extreme music that is unparalleled. Due to the subsequent destruction of the fair hedonistic city by a bitch named Katrina, they have been freed from their restraints to begin a new crime wave in the form of OUTLAW ORDER, the Zero / Zero percent. This group of restless reprobates cultivated under the scrutiny and beat-downs of an oppressive redneck authority. Being well placed members of local New Orleans conspiracists EYEHATEGOD, SOILENT GREEN and HAWGJAW, these gentlemen have united under one negative war banner to blast the system with a twist to the N'awlins sound of rebellion and pollution. A fully realized organization, these null percenters follow no one. They do however wear the Louisiana influence on their black armbanded sleeves and shine a stolen police flashlight into the darkened rooms inhabited by law enforcement cockroaches. This is truly a new seperatist set of rules. Combining their militant safecracking skills with leading sonic boom specialists Season of Mist, the debut record, "Dragging down the Enforcer" is set to explode this Autumn.

Band members and their other illegal affiliations:
• Michael D. Williams (EYEHATEGOD, ARSON ANTHEM) - vocals
• Brian Patton (EYHATEGOD, SOILENT GREEN) - guitar
• Gary Mader (EYEHATEGOD, HAWGJAW) - guitar
• Joey LaCaze (EYEHATEGOD) - drums
• Justin Grisoli (ex-EYEHATEGOD) - bass

OUTLAW ORDER "Dragging down the Enforcer" is due out in October 2008 with a simultaneous road attack. This is your final warning. Check www.myspace.com/outlaworder for more information


CYNIC WRAP UP WORK ON THEIR NEW STUDIO ALBUM, AND ANNOUNCE EUROPEAN TOUR DATES

Technical/progressive metal legends CYNIC are putting the finishing touches on their upcoming album, to be released later this year via Season of Mist Records. Returning from the "Focus"-era are founding members Paul Masvidal (guitars/clean vocals) and Sean Reinert (drums) along with Sean Malone (bass), and joining the band in the studio is newcomer Tymon Kruidenier (guitars/growls). The band are currently doing the final stages of mixing with producer Warren Riker, and the band are extremely happy with the results.
In addition, the band have announced their first upcoming live dates in Europe, with additional dates/touring to be announced in the near future (including US dates). The band have also been announced as the headliner for this year's ProgPower Europe festival, and will be playing a special extended set at the show.

Guitarist/vocalist Paul Masvidal had this to say:

"Sean and I are pleased to announce the completion of album #2. We've been on an amazing journey discovering this new music and soon it will be yours. Expect the unexpected. The album is an intensely concentrated mosaic of internal and external energies, from the deepest peace to the purest aggression. There's an acquired taste that comes with a record of this density, but once your ears wrap themselves around the language at work, everything falls into place and suddenly you'll feel a sudden urge to sing, scream or Junebe even cry.

The album has a beginning, middle and end. The story will reveal itself after numerous listens and then you June not want to let go. Besides Reinert and I, Tymon brought some new life force and magic to the record with fierce growling and poetic guitar sensibilities. Malone also did a fine job with the low end, grooving away with Reinert in a pocket land from hell!

For the live department, due to Malone's other commitments, we're pleased to welcome Robin Zielhorst into the fold on bass along with Tymon growling and ripping it up on another glorious Steinberger! Robin's a phenomenal Dutch talent pulled from Tymon's brain into the madness of Cynic's musical melange. The band is now a fiery breathing entity, full of magic dust, ready to appear at your doorstep this summer. Please join us at an upcoming concert."

CROWBAR Frontman: 'We Will Be Putting Out A New CD And Touring Endlessly'

CROWBAR guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"Hey, rockers and rockettes. It's been a while since I made a post on here, but I feel it's time to let you know what's going on. I've got about eight songs' worth of riffs written so far and will be jamming with Tommy [Buckley, drums] and Pat [Patrick Bruders, bass] soon on these ideas.

"2009 will be the 20th anniversary of CROWBAR!!! We will be putting out a new Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. and tour[ing] endlessly on this thing. I literally want to play every country that's got electricity!!!

"Believe me, CROWBAR is far from over. It will never die as long as I'm walking this Earth. So be prepared for the heaviest band in the world to destroy your senses very soon.

"As always, thanks to the legions of underground fans who have loyally supported us for the last 19 years. Year 20 will be the biggest yet."


DAYLIGHT DIES ALBUM DELAYED

Due to unforeseen difficulties with the printing of the new Daylight Dies album ‘Lost To The Living', Candlelight Records have regretfully had to postpone its UK & European release date until 14th July 2008. This difficult decision has been taken in order to ensure that the band's vision for their stunning new album is preserved, and to make sure it looks as good as it sounds!

‘Lost To The Living' features captivatingly dark original artwork from renowned artist Travis Smith, who has worked with the band before and whose other previous collaborations include Opeth, Anathema & Katatonia!

With their new album, Daylight Dies have put forth the most mature and varied release of their career. The lush textures which were introduced with the previous album continue and are greatly expanded upon. Acoustic and clean guitars ride alongside heavy rhythms more prevalently than previously, creating a multi-layered sound saturated in atmosphere and depth. 'Lost to the Living' is a mix of beautiful melancholic leads and harsh dissonant rhythms; despair driven hooks and the overall dark atmosphere you've come to expect.

The release date for ‘Lost To The Living' through sites such as itunes remains unaffected, and the album will be available for download from 30th June 2008.

ETHS AT HELLFEST

Due to SOILWORK's cancellation, ETHS have been chosen to take over the vacant spot at this year's edition of Hellfest. That now makes 8 bands from the Season of Mist roster playing this year at France's biggest metal festival, along with JuneHEM, ROTTING CHRIST, SEPTICFLESH, WATAIN, THE OLD DEAD TREE, GHOST BRIGADE and AVA INFERI.
ETHS will perform on Sunday, June 22nd, on the main stage. Don't miss Candice and the boys!

DAGOBA'S POUNDING BASS

After last week's video interview with DAGOBA drummer Franky Costanza, you can now watch the next chapter with bass player Werther, conducted during the recording sessions of French metallers' third album, "Face the Colossus"


Matt Roehr (formerly of Böhse Onkelz) featuring Charlie Huhn: the new album

Please note the latest release from the former guitarist of Germany's most successful rock band ever: Böhse Onkelz.
After the demise of the Böhse Onkelz Matt Roehr started with the recordings for his first solo album, which took him four month through studios in Brasil (Rio de Janeiro) and the U.S. (Miami, New York). He joined forces with legendary rock singer Charlie Huhn (Ted Nugent, Humple Pie, Gary Moore, Foghat) and Brasilian and German top musicians.
In January 2008 Matt and the band recorded the live album „UHAD2BTHERE! - Live Bootleg Vol.1“ while on tour in Germany.
