BOLT THROWER studio report from Karl!
Bolt Thrower has posted a new studio report from Karl Willetts.
OK, well here’s my first ‘getting back into the world of Bolt Thrower’ report. I’ll start off by explaining a bit about the lyric writing process, which in itself was somewhat lengthy! My introduction to the new songs came in the form of some demos Baz recorded at home earlier in the year, I spent a good couple of months listening to these to get them into my head and understand the general flow, timings and structures of the songs. The songs weren’t totally completed, but I could already tell this was going to be some excellent stuff...
To be honest, getting back into writing lyrics again proved a little harder than I had imagined, it had been a few years since my last song writing which had been for the Mercenary album back in 1998. And it being our eighth studio album, we’d already used a lot of the good sounding Bolt Thrower song titles, along with a plethora of new bands using titles similar to the ones that we use, so I spent a long time researching on my PC, to make sure that the prospective song titles where somewhat original.
I also found that physically visiting places with military history very inspirational, I visited the Cenotaph in London and checked out Horse Guards parade where the trooping of the colour is performed, I also went to Belgium and saw a lot of war cemeteries and memorials around Flanders. In May I spent the night camping out at a place called Turnaware Point in Cornwall, which was an embarkation point for the US Infantry 5th Corps in the Normandy landings. Visiting these places helped me develop some of the main themes and subject topics to which a few of the lyrics on the new album are based.
When the band finally entered the studio back in May the songs on the demos had changed a little (for the better!) and I started to formulate the lyrics to the songs by at first concentrating on the rhythms and timings. Gav provided me with a pile of useful notebooks containing ideas for song titles and subject matter. These provided a wealth of material from which the first sets of lyrics were drafted.
While the rhythm tracks were being recorded I met with Gav on a regular basis to work through the lyrics and eventually after much debate and discussion with regard to song titles, the final rough draughts of the songs were complete and ready to record.
At the start of August I spent 4 days demoing the new songs in order to make sure that my placement and timings of the vocals worked. The rest of the band came in at this point to make the odd timing, or lyric change, so after a bit of shuffling around they where finally ready to put down for real, 10 songs in total. I took my time concentrating on both delivery of the individual lines and clear annunciation of the words. It was very rewarding that vocally I was still able to continue where I left off on Mercenary, my throat seemed to remember too, and luckily I didn’t suffer any strains or voice loss! Just hope it holds out for the tour too!!
The recording went relatively problem-free, I had my speaker-kicking moments (sorry Jo), but overall everyone was chuffed with how it all went. And after 10 days they were all completed, and sounding totally killer. We tried to vary the timings quite a lot, so there are different style verses, a selection of choruses and a mix of old and new vocals to match the style of songs. I can’t give any song titles away yet, but maybe when we’ve finished the mix we might put a clip or two up on the website.
It won’t be long; the mixing has already started...

~SUBWAY TO SALLY - Book with collected lyrics~
Bodenski, guitarist and lyricist for SUBWAY TO SALLY, has significantly shaped the bands output with his words.
The lyrics to songs from the last ten years – and more! – are now available in his book "Inniglich".
The first part of this collection features even additional verses that did not fit in the finished tracks. What is even more important: Bodenski offers lyrics that have never been released or recorded before in any format.
The second contains other works and poems that show new and surprising sides of the author.
"Inniglich" should be interesting especially, but not only for SUBWAY TO SALLY fans, whose love for the band is in most cases also rooted in the words.
For more info, head over to the NUCLEAR BLAST mailorder shop, where "Inniglich" is available for only 9€!

~CATHEDRAL - new album info~
Mighty doom icons CATHEDRAL from Coventry, England will release their new album, »The Garden Of Unearthly Delights«, on September 23. (Not on Sep 26, as previously reported.)
Produced by Warren Ryker (DOWN, CROWBAR), »The Garden Of Unearthly Delights« is probably the most varied effort of the band so far. While a song like 'North Berwick Witch Trials' will bring back memories of such immortal riffs'n'groove as in 'Hopkins' or 'Ride', 'Tree Of Life And Death' simply tears everything to pieces with its ultra-heavy guitar sound and fierce vocals courtesy of Lee Dorrian. The centerpiece of it all certainly is the 27-minute-long mammoth epos 'The Garden' that almost bursts with such a wealth of ideas and changes in atmosphere that other bands probably couldn't come up with on a whole album. Using every stylistic device from female vocals up to violins and embedding it all in that typical CATHEDRAL brand of doom, »The Garden Of Unearthly Delights« is a treat for every fan of the band, old and new alike.
The follow-up to 2002's »The VIIth Coming«, »The Garden Of Unearthly Delights« will once again feature the epic artwork of long-standing CATHEDRAL sleeve artist Dave Patchett.
» The Garden Of Unearthly Delights« track listing:
01. Dearth AD
02. Tree Of Life & Death
03. North Berwick Witch Trials
04. Upon Azrael's Wings
05. Corpsecycle
06. Fields Of Zagara
07. Oro, The Manslayer
08. Beneath A Funereal Sun
09. The Garden
10. Proga - Europa

~MNEMIC - New vocalist!~
Mnemic - Michael Bøgballe leaving Mnemic.
The rumors are true - MNEMIC have parted ways with frontman Michael Bøgballe.
Commented on the band: "It is sad it has come to this, but Michael has chosen a different path in his life and wishes to leave the band. This last weekend, we did our last gig together in Gothenburg, Sweden – which was one of the most intense and energetic gigs we have ever done, and this night will not be forgotten for a very long time. Thanks to all of our friends in Impious, Engel, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy and most important Patric Ullaeus, who came out and made it all special for everybody! We now would like to take this time to wish Michael all the best and good luck in future endeavours."
Michael has a few farewell words to say as well, to all of you out there wondering.
"It is with great sadness that I must announce my departure from MNEMIC. From today I´m no longer officially the singer of Mnemic. There´s a thousand ways to put this but none seem just accurate right now, so I´m just gonna be honest with ya all. There are two main reasons in my life for doing this. One is that my girlfriend is pregnant with my
baby and I therefore want to spend some more time at home. Second is , that I´m sick and tired of being broke all the time. This is by far the hardest decision I ever had to make cuz I love the metal, the tours and the band. What we did together, no one can take that away from me and I´ll remember every country we´ve visited for as long as I live. And to the people I´ve met on the road and all the fans: Thank you so much for being there. You made all the difference to me.....
I know for sure that the remaining four boys in MNEMIC will not slow down. We part as best friends and will remain so......You guys are the sh*t!! Thank you
And Bobo from the Summerbreeze Festival: Fu*k you!
Goodbye everybody....I had a blast...and who knows.....maybe we´ll see each other somewhere in the future...........
Michael"
With Michael's imminent departure, former TRANSPORT LEAGUE/B-THONG singer Tony Jelencovich will step into the machine to take over vocal duties.
Commented on the band: "Tony has been a long time friend of the band, and we are 100% confident that he is the right man for the job!"
Also SPECIAL THANKS to video director Patric Ullaeus and his wife Tara at ww.Revolver.se spending time with the band to do another brilliant shoot in Gothenburg this weekend.
This line up change will NOT, in any way, effect MNEMIC's North American Fall tour with MESHUGGAH, GOD FORBID and THE HAUNTED.
More news to come!

~GOTTHARD - lots of news…~
Dear Gotthard fans, some more news from the Gotthard camp.
NEW SINGLE: now that the album LIPSERVICE has been in the Swiss charts for the past 18 weeks, the new single ANYTIME, ANYWHERE will be released in Switzerland on October 3rd, 2005 (it will be released in the other countries on October 14th, 2005). The maxi-single will include two versions of ANYTIME ANYWHERE, one live version of IN THE NAME (from the G. album), two of the bonus tracks from the album LIPSERVICE and the terrific video of ANYTIME ANYWHERE. This is a really explosive GOTTHARD package for your player.
NEUES VIDEO: as already mentioned above there is also a new video of ANYTIME ANYWHERE. A complex, partially computer-animated production in the style of the new SIN CITY movie directed by Hannes Rossacher, who has received almost all relevant film, TV and video awards for his videos and documentaries with and about Queen, The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and many others. The new video can already be enjoyed on various music channels.
FANSHOP: our online shop now has all the items in the LIPSERVICE collection. Besides the current T-shirts, caps, mouse pads, belt bags, lighters and cups you can also buy the various versions of the album LIPSERVICE and the single LIFT U UP via the online shop. Another note on T-shirts you may already have bought from the online shop or at the live concerts: unfortunately the printing on some Lipservice Festival T-shirts was not fixed correctly by the manufacturer so that some parts of the printing fade after washing. Those fans affected by this can contact us at kontakt@gotthard-shop.com and will be provided with a replacement free of charge.
FANCLUB: there have been many, many new registrations at the fan club since the release of LIPSERVICE. Because of this large number of new registrations there were unfortunately some delays in sending the welcome packages. We apologize for this, hope you understand the problem and thank the affected new members for their patience. The new fan club magazine ALL ACCESS No.27 is currently being produced at high speed and should reach every member by the end of the September. As the band is totally booked up with concerts and promotional dates until the end of the year we have decided not to hold the fan club meeting this year. They will return next year and we are once again planning something really special. We are not telling yet, but as soon as date and location are decided we will inform all members.
WEBSITE: our website at www.gotthard.com has been completely re-designed with the release of LIPSERVICE. Many more pictures, videos, wallpapers, updated personal details of all band members, all the lyrics for the GOTTHARD songs and much more await you there. Come and visit us in the forum and exchange views with other GOTTHARD fans. The website can all be read in both German and English and further languages are already planned.
CONCERTS: the open-air and festival season is coming to an end and there were so many celebrated concerts by GOTTHARD, both in the sunshine and the rain. Photos of the concerts can be found on our website. Many concerts have already been booked across Europe for the tour in the autumn. Besides Switzerland, Germany and Austria GOTTHARD will also play concerts in England, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Slovenia. Concerts are also still being planned in Asia, America and South America. All confirmed concerts can be found listed below and of course - updated frequently - on our website.

~SOILWORK - Message from Speed~
SOILWORK vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid has posted the following message on the band's official web site:
"We're back in Sweden now, have been sleeping straight for almost 24 hours.. It's really hard to melt all the impressions from Ozzfest. I gotta say that the tour went much faster than I expected. We had a lot of great times even though we were pretty much stuck in a 'heavy metal parking lot' everyday. We got to meet a lot of cool people, both fans and bands. My personal favorite band on the second stage would probably be THE HAUNTED. I gotta give Peter Dolving some cred for being the best fuc*ing singer on that stage. He was also brave enough to perform naked for a whole song in a country where you'll almost get arrested by saying the word 'dick' in public.
"I gotta say that it was a sad feeling leaving America with a thought that one of the cities that I've enjoyed the most, New Orleans is no more and that the place turned into a complete warzone. Just remembering walking those streets last year makes the whole thing unreal. We send our condolences to all the victims.
"Last but not least, I wanna thank all the bands and fans at the second stage for keeping it real. To quote Adam from KILLSWITCH ENGAGE: That's where the heart and soul was during whole Ozzfest! Thank you!!! We'll see you all in November on tour."
In a separate posting, Strid offered the following information on the band's upcoming touring activities:
"Today we have confirmed HATESPHERE and CONSTRUCDEAD as supporting acts for the European headliner tour starting on the 5th of October in Helsinki. Both bands are very promising and both have great albums coming out very soon. Both bands has also a reputation of being great live bands. This bill won't make you disappointed! Check out the tour schedule and don't you miss the show. We have also confirmed the November tour with FEAR FACTORY in North America. We will be direct support to FEAR FACTORY and there will be two more killer bands on the bill: STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and DARKANE ! How about it, folks!? Unfortunately, we'll jump on the tour a week later from where the tour starts. I'll keep you posted on exactly what date."
SOILWORK are continuing to tour in support of their latest CD, »Stabbing the Drama«.
~ANTHRAX - Message from Scott~
ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian has posted the following message on the group's official web site:
"Cold and rainy Seattle on a Saturday afternoon and we're playing outside! Well, at least the seats are covered. Gigantour has been a blast. Too short. We're only on five shows on this traveling metal extravaganza and I wish it was going longer. Everyone's been great to us like we've been here the whole time. Us newbies were treated very well. Edmonton and Calgary were killer. We hadn't been in those cities since 1988, if memory serves, and the crowds were crazy. I am so stoked we will be back with PRIEST so soon.
" Vancouver was the best show so far. We were there last in 2000 (with Snake Sabo on guitar) so it had not been as long as the other cities but damn they were hungry. Vancouver was nuts. The circle-pit in Indians was huuuuuuge! Thank you so much and we'll see you in a few weeks as well on the PRIEST tour.
"We went to see OASIS on our night off in Vancouver . They were good. Beyond all the hype and bullsh*t they are a great rock band. That's my story. We've been hanging with the LIFE OF AGONY guys who kick ass every night.
"I've been talking to Dave [Mustaine, MEGADETH mainman] about next year. Things are in the works. I hope it pans out. I have to thank Dave as well for being so persistent in getting us on this tour. It's been a blast for us and I think for the fans as well. Our two bands together work very well. I fuc*ing love metal. Seattle tonight."
~GOTTHARD - Sexy video clip!~
GOTTHARD, our merchants of finest Swiss Hard Rock, recently caught massive attention from the international boulevard press and will be hard to miss on TV nowadays: the release of their new clip 'Anytime Anywhere'- taken from their Swiss No. 1 chart album »Lipservice« - was seriously spiced up by the ultra-sexy appearance of German student Jenny (see picture). She is 18 years young and currently in focus because of her affair with Formula 1-racer Fernando Alonso. Make sure you don´t miss the hottest clip of the year!
The link to the video clip will be announced shortly!
'Anytime Anywhere' will be released in Switzerland on Oct 3 and in other countries on Oct 14.
The maxi-single will include two versions of 'Anytime Anywhere', one live version of 'In The Name' (from the »G.« album), two of the bonus tracks from »Lipservice« and the terrific video for 'Anytime Anwhere' - a complex, partially computer-animated production in the style of the new "Sin City" movie directed by Hannes Rossacher, who has received almost all relevant film, TV and video awards for his videos and documentaries with and about QUEEN, THE ROLLING STONES, MICHAEL JACKSON, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, BON JOVI and many others.

~KNORKATOR - Just signed!~
KNORKATOR.
These guys are really hard to figure out. And they are really something special… way out there for some, even more way out there for others. But they rock, they entertain, and they are clever and funny. And they are signed to NUCLEAR BLAST now! The next release will be the DVD »Zu Alt« (german for "Too old") on Nov 11.
Here's what KNORKATOR have to say about this:
"Everybody who is familiar with KNORKATOR, knows that they are very shy persons. That's why they always felt some dislike when people showed up for their concerts. Especially, if those people carried cameras for picture or even video! That always infuriated KNORKATOR so badly, that they had to rage around and scream a lot on stage.
But now some folks who know the band's weakness in this respect are planning to drive KNORKATOR over the edge: For months on end they followed the three musicians around whenever they played and filmed everything that could be used against them. They even installed hidden microphones and cameras in the band's homes and recorded very private, very emotional conversations!
The result is an exciting and very entertaining DVD, which shows to everyone what KNORKATOR rather have kept to themselves.
»Zu alt« will be released on Nov 11 by the well-liked record company NUCLEAR BLAST!"
Enough said.
