AFTER FOREVER - Amazon metal @ Nuclear Blast
There have been a lot of rumours already, now it's finally official: Another
superb band has found its way to the realms of Nuclear Blast - AFTER FOREVER!
The Dutch act around front amazon Floor Jansen (also known from various guest
appearances for projects of Arjen Lucassen / AYREON) is specialized in thrilling
Melodic / Gothic Metal and ranks among the "big ones" of the scene in their home
country.
The band already toured with NIGHTWISH and had appearances at EVERY important
festival BeNeLux-wide (such as Lowlands, Pinkpop, Graspop, Dynamo Open Air,
Fields Of Rock), not to forget a steadily growing fan base in South America,
France, Spain and Germany!
Guitarist Sander Gommans about the signing: "AFTER FOREVER has grown a lot the
past years, we´ve done more and more shows and festivals worldwide and also
experienced a lot of improvement musically. I feel that AFTER FOREVER is
stronger than ever, as a group but also musically, this is the right time to
choose for a label that can help us realising our dreams! Because the core of
the AFTER FOREVER songs is metal orientated, it´s a very natural decision for us
to choose for Nuclear Blast!"
AFTER FOREVER have almost finished the recordings for their new, yet untitled
album, which is going to be released in Spring 2007. Produced by Gordon
Groothedde (Dutch studio luminary), the record not only contains great new songs
but also an overwhelming session with the Prague Symphonic Orchestra! A tour
afterwards is already planned as well…
The Provenance - 'Red Flags' out now
The new album by Sweden's The Provenance is finally available. 'Red Flags'
contains 10 tracks of completely unique rock/metal and is essential listening
for music lovers everywhere.
Cornelius speaks about the Solefald and Sturmgeist albums
Jagshemash, Ladies and Gentlemen!
It is a pleasure to write you on the eve of Borat's great movie film premiere
- I for sure will not miss out on that one. I am now back in Berlin, where I try
to recuperate after a long and sunny Norwegian summer (I know it sounds like a
contradiction in terms, that a Norwegian summer could be long and sunny; global
warning has finally come to Scandinavia, though. Check out the film "An
Inconvient Truth" for more infoganda: http://www.climatecrisis.net/
Over to the music updates:
On November 16th, Sturmgeist's new album "Über" was released world wide
through Season of Mist. Metal Hammer (UK) magazine's Malcolm Dome gave the album
the score 8/10, stating that "Sturmgeist deliver a cohesive, cogent performance.
One reason is that each track showcases almost the complete breadth of the
project's inventive, splayed sense of adventure.
At times it is like listening to Lordi interpreted by Dimmu Borgir, with the
depraved guidance of Al Jourgensen and Finntroll. And some of the choruses sound
like old German drinking songs."
The German magazine Rock Hard awarded the album a lousy 3/10, claiming that
this "wenig bis gar nicht beseelten Scheibe" would only fit in on dancefloors in
the countryside. Not too bad, after all, as being Jäger-drunk in Redneck County
definitely matches the Sturmgeist definition of "party".
I have edited a Sturmgeist profile at MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/sturmbruderschaft),
where you will find the songs "Rock Me Amadeus", a cover of Falco's classic from
1985, and "Blood-Axe", along with "Master Hunter" and "Shock & Awe" from last
year's "Meister Mephisto album.
On November 13th, Solefald's sixth studio album "Black for Death: An
Icelandic Odyssey part 2" will see the light of day on Season of Mist.
Concluding our Icelandic odyssey is something of a high for me, as we have been
working on it since 2003. The album tells the story of an outlawed poet in
medieval Iceland, Bragi, and how he strives for survival, revenge and sanity.
More than being just plain Viking Metal, this album offers a psychological
journey to the frontiers of life, told by Loki the Trickster:
"Centuries have flowed down the cyclical drain of time since the events I am
about to tell; kings born and queens gone, the chain of human lives grown in one
end and withered away in the other. My skin is still tight like a drumskin, my
mind unpredictable as ever, whereas all that remains of the protagonists you are
about to know, is teeth and bones. Know me not by name, but by my colours: RED
FOR FIRE + BLACK FOR DEATH. Sometimes I confess my evil actions, not because I
really regret them, but because making a confession makes me feel good. Such is
the case of the drama I once participated in, a fight for the QUEEN IN THE BAY
OF SMOKE.
I visited the hall of King Haukur, disguised as a warrior, and fell in
love with his frost-white queen, Disa. I saw how little she loved her husband,
and how fond she was of the king's poet, who was known sometimes as Bragi the
Beautiful. The queen and the skald loved each other. I told Haukur about the
unfaithfulness of his wife, and consequently, Bragi was outlawed at the Althing
the following year. For seven years he strayed the land of ice, until he tried
to jump into the fire of the volcano Hekla.
Then, unexpectedly, the High One intervened, encouraging Bragi to live on and
have justice done. When Bragi decided to return to Haukur's hall in Reykjavik,
he was pulled into a stone and led to the SILVER DWARF, the king of the
UNDERWORLD. The Silver Dwarf taught Bragi a lesson about pride and endurance,
and thus fortified, the poet continued his NECRODYSSEY towards the Bay of Smoke.
While walking he summoned his ancestors, the ALLFATHERS, resolved to fight for
their legend and their honour. You can guess, mortal, that my fellow gods
disapproved of my ploys, for while Bragi suffered in the cold, I went to the
banquet in Ægir's hall, where the unforgettable LOKASENNA took place, the
quarrel of the gods.
LOKI TRICKSTER GOD was the cause of the fight, as he had had Bragi outlawed
in Midgard. Loki's disrepute shall be SPOKEN TO THE END OF ALL. Now that you
know my name, do not judge me too harshly; I still carry the scar that Bragi's
sword left on my abdomen. When he came back to the hall of the king, Disa stood
there waiting for him, with the thrall Jarður. As she embraced Bragi, and told
him what had really happened, they were spotted by Haukur's guard. As soon as
Haukur arrived, Bragi drove his sword into the king's right eye, in a fit of
divine rage, then he buryed the same sword deeply into my stomach. Haukur died
on the spot, Bragi was killed shortly after. Disa and Jarður managed to get away
unnoticed, and escape with the ship they had waiting. They crossed the DARK
WAVES DYING, fleeing from yet another LOKASENNA, finally landing on the shores
of Norway. May you enjoy my story, and honour your SAGATELLER by living it, over
and over again."
Talking of Loki the Trickster: The track "Loki Trickster God" features a vocal
guest appearance by Ulver's Trickster G., expressing the Norse jester's yearning
for c.a.r.n.a.l. love.
Today I completed a new Solefald profile at MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/solefaldofficial),
that contains two tracks from the new album. I am sure the entire album is
floating around in bit torrent space already, but by visiting our MySpace page
you can listen to parts of it while actually retaining your status as a lawful
citizen.
Next year I will publish my first book in English through my own piccolissimo
publishing house, Propagenia Press. Put simply, the book will be a subjective
biography about Solefald, containing all published and some unpublished lyrics,
band photographs, as well as a few funny anecdotes and controversial statements
on the State of the Me(n)tal Nation.
In 2007 it will be ten years since our debut album "The Linear Scaffold"
first appeared, thus I find it appropriate to recapitulate our saga of mindcrime
and madness, poverty and poetry, in the form of a book. Designers Trine Paulsen
and Kim Sølve will take care of the design.
For those about to rock - we you salute!

DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS who has signed records deal with British label
Conquer Records in June 2006 has been confirmed as a main support act for
AETERNUS on their European tour in November/December this year. The band will be
promoting their latest effort - 'Plurima Mortis Imago' which is out now.
The band's first official release consists of 9 new compositions, plus - as a
special bonus - video clip to "SataniChaoSymphony'. DEVILISH IMPRESSIONS' new
album may be a big step forward on the Avant-Garde Black/Death metal scene, as
this time the band goes even further to gain more brutality combined with unique
atmosphere and a subtle melody of each track.
According to one of the band's member: ' (...) it is a record for every metal
fan, as it contains a mass of technical death metal riffs as well as essential
dose of original melodies, breathtakingly fast blasts, raging vocals and
beautiful keyboard passages, enveloped in a totally sick and furious atmosphere
of all-pervading coldness, rebellion and licentiousness!
With this record we want to prove that not everything within this field has
been said. Moving across the genre makes it possible to distance oneself and
play the music a little differently, but without losing the original spirit of
what metal has always been, is and what it should be in the future!!!' (Quazarre)
One of 'Plurima Mortis Imago' producers is Arek Malczewski, who is also the
producer and sound engineer for Behemoth, Vesania, Asgaard and Lost Soul amongst
others. Editing and mixing were carried out in the home studio of Asgaard's
keyboard player, Wojtek Kostrzewa, and finally the album was mastered by the
Wieslawski Brothers of the Hertz Studio in Bialystok (Vader, Decapitated, Hate
etc.).

Blood Red Throne start work on new album
Norwegian death metallers Blood Red Throne have been working in Jailhouse studio
for the last 2 days on a pre production for the new album due out on Earache
early 2007.
70% of the material is written and the band started pre production to test both
the studio and the two new members, Anders Haave (drums) and Vald (vocals).
4 songs have been recorded so far and the band is extremely pleased with both
the material and the sound.
"This time, we aim for a more classic Death Metal sound, ala Gorguts
"Considered Dead" / Suffocation "Despise the Sun" kind of sound. We have grown
tired with the over-produced and fully triggered drum kits that so many bands
use today, besides we have taken a slightly new direction with our music and the
analog and dynamic sound fits the music better. We have also chosen a different
approach to the recording process of the instruments.
We are very pleased with the outcome of the 4 songs and cant wait till the
actual album recording starts, hopefully sometime in December".
Some working titles of the forthcoming songs: "Rebirth in Blood", "Come Death"
and "No New beginning".

The latest Severe Torture tour diary installment:
After we left Spain we had one show to do in Dijon (FR) before going to Italy.
We played in this venue called The Vapeur and it was an amazing venue! Best
catering sofar and huge stage as well. 300 people showed up and we had the
chance to play a extra long set with Sawn Off & Consuming the Dying added.
For the next days we are playing 4 shows in Italy, which is new to us because
usually we only play Italy once when we're on tour. The first show took place in
the city of Bologna. The venue was huge and way to big for the package we had so
it appeared al little strange at first. But luckily, the people that showed up
were up or a solid night of deathmetal. The atmosphere was great and the crowd
gave us a warm welcome back to Italy. Grazi!
Rome was the setting for the second day in Italy. We arrived in time to do some
serious sightseeing, so we got the chance to visit the Colloseum and such. This
was kinda cool since we were playing Shadows of Rome in the nightliner at night
for a couple of weeks now so it was cool to be able to witness where the carnage
used to take place. After we went out of the tourist mode we did a show for a
bloodthirsty crowd at the Alpheus. It was great to hear people screaming for
songs ranging from "Misanthropic Carnage" to "End of Christ".
The next 2 shows on the list were Siena and Padova. Club Sonar in Siena started
out a little calm but turned into a good show after we did our little trick...
Next was Padova and for the last Italian show it was great!
People were really into us and went crazy! We stayed at the cub pretty long
and had a nice little party outside till early in the morning...
After 4 days we left Italy and invaded Austria. First on the list was Althofen
and club Endorphin turned out to be a really small bar with a tiny stage in the
corner. With a minimal backline and no triggers we did our best to turn the
place upside down and that was much appreciated by the fans. After the show we
headed off to Salzburg were we woke up at 10 in the morning. Time enough to do
some sightseeing and get some real breakfast.
Rockhaus is a great venue and we did a great show. After the show we took our
place in the bar next to the venue and after Vaders show the whole tour
entourage joined the party!
Last show in Austria was Vienna and we have good memories of Vienna. In the past
we played in the Arena but this time the show was in a venue called Planet
Music. Great venue and the show was organised by the guys from Goddamned X who
were support act since Italy. They did a very good job and the show went very
smooth.

Leaves Eyes vocalist Liv Kirstine releases debut album
'Enter My Religion' enchants with beautiful melodies, irresistible rhythms and
subdued folk flair - first class atmospheric pop/rock sending shivers down your
spine!" Daniela Sickinger ( Metal Heart)
Since Liv Kristine appeared in the music scene, she turned out to be one of the
most extraordinary and creative female artists in Europe. She has left her
footprints in various genres: with her gothic metal band Theatre of Tragedy she
secured her position in the history of music and as front-woman of Leaves Eyes
she continued with that success. Liv Kristine - the charismatic singer with the
unique and seducing voice announces the comeback of her solo project in 2006.
Together with Leaves Eyes she has gained worldwide success. Moreover, in her
former band Theatre of Tragedy she and her soprano-voice were always in the
centre of attention. As a solo artist she enchants with pop music of her own
brand. No wonder that there always are musicians asking for a collaboration with
the talented Norwegian singer. Her guest vocals for Atrocity and Umbra et Imago
are only some projects to mention in which Liv was involved in 2004.
The most successful of all is the song 'Nymphetamine' which she recorded with
the British cult band Cradle of Filth which brought a nomination for the Grammy
2005 awards.

in Gothenburg/Sweden in February to mix the album with no one else than Mr.
Fredrik Nordström (Hammerfall, In flames, Dimmu Borgir), who also was
responsible for the sound on "Return in bloodred".
"Working out the new songs is exciting as hell and we can´t wait to finally
record what we´re elaborating at the moment." sais Falk. "Attila is at his best
and there a lots of melodies to die for - along with the heaviest tunes we´ve
written so far" More details to follow.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER prepares to go down under!
Fresh off the very successful Hatebreed tour where The Black Dahlia Murder was
direct support and an incredible set at LOUD PARK Festival in Japan where the
band played in front of over 7,000 kids; BDM are now preparing to take their
ferocious live set down under to promote their sophomore album Miasma to their
Aussie fans.
Once the band returns from Australia they will head home to continue working
on their 3rd full length release which will be out the summer of 2007. In other
news the band's final video for the album Miasma is Statutory Ape, just made its
premier on Saturday 10/21 on Headbangers Ball.
If you missed HBB this last weekend you can go to YouTube.com or Yahoo.com to
catch the band slaying the audience at Sounds of the Underground and running
amuck with The Ape!
Here's what madman and death metal vocalist extraordinaire Trevor Strnad had
to say about the tour with Hatebreed, the band's set in Japan, and the premier
of their latest video Statutory Ape.
'The Hatebreed tour was indeed a lot of fun and was a brutal package. All
five of the bands were very cool guys and we had an absolute blast touring with
them… Although Jamey Jasta almost poisoned Brian and I with his heavy handed bar
tending skills. Oh and we love Gary Holt in a very platonic metal-man way.
As for our stop in Japan, it was an honor to be playing at the biggest metal
festival of all time in Japan. The reaction was something that we never could
have expected. The energy of the crowd was unbelievable and it was great to feel
so much metal in the air in one place. We can't wait to come back to Japan and
follow up this successful performance.
Keep your eyes peeled for the Statutory Ape video that we shot this summer on
the Sounds of the underground tour. You can see how much fun we had on the tour
as well as our honorary mascot The Ape. The video will premier this weekend on
Headbangers Ball and is also available on YouTube.com and Yahoo.com so check it
out.'

CANNIBAL CORPSE recaps Australia/New Zealand tour!
We have just returned from a very successful tour of Australia and New Zealand.
We would like to thank the guys at Soundworks Touring for doing such a great job
with the organization and promotion of the tour.
Thanks also go out to Darren and all at Stomp for the help they gave us before
and during the tour, and to the clubs and local promoters that helped make the
tour possible.
We would also like to say thanks and hello to Psycroptic, Plague, and
Ulcerate. It was great to share the stage with such killer bands while we were
down there.
Finally, and most importantly, we would like to say a huge thank you to all
of the fans who attended the shows in Australia and New Zealand. We had not been
to Australia in many years, and we had never been to New Zealand, so we were not
entirely sure what to expect. The size and enthusiasm of the crowds was even
greater than we had hoped for, and we wanted to make sure you all knew how much
we appreciate that.
We got the chance to hang out with a lot of friends old and new, and you all
made the long trip and hectic schedule (8 shows in 8 days, with flights between
each city) more than worth the effort for us. We'll make sure that we return to
Australia and New Zealand a lot more often, because you guys rule!

FOREVER IN TERROR to begin recording new record!
Summer... was amazing. We made great friends, saw great places and jammed. We
want to thank everyone who was involved. We realize that there are tons of
people involved that made it possible for all of those shows to happen. There
are way too many people for us to thank individually but we would like to thank
all of you. At every venue, bar, hotel, gas station, Wendy's, and the people
that make hot pockets for making it possible. Thanks. Now down to business, we
have a lot going on this fall and winter.
Our recording schedule is nearly finalized and we can't wait to get started.
The songs we have been writing are killer and we're sure you'll all love them.
We'll be releasing our Metal Blade Records debut next summer. We have been
excited and hysterical about this for months and can't wait for you to hear the
final product. Up until the start of pre-production for the album we'll be doing
weekend shows to keep up our chops and try out new songs.
All those shows will be on the shows page so check them out and see if we are
playing near you. One of those shows will be November 27th @ Fat Jimmy's in Kent.
The show will be a Halloween show hosted by Mistress Juliya who we have had the
pleasure of chilling with before. And now we'll do it again.
Another weekend of Forever in Terror/Mistress Juliya mayhem. We hope to see
all of you there costume or no costume. It's going to be a blast. For now...
good day. F.I.T.

Ephel Duath's drummer talks sheet music on youtube and Ephel Duath report
on Italian Jazz-metallers Ephel Duath are now back home in Italy after their
European tour.
"We've just returned home after seventeen hours travelling from Bruxelles to
Padua." Davide Ephel Duath's guitarist reports "The first part of the Ephel
Duath's Imploding Euro Tour is finished and it's time to reflect.
We have been lucky with nine UK dates and extremely good support band, the
math-corers Tangaroa. The tour crew has became a sort of enlarged family, and we
have to thanks these five crazy Tangaroa guys for some of the funniest moments
of the whole tour. Our favourite shows were at London Underworld, the
Bournemouth's Gander and supporting Red Sparowes @ Southampton's Nexus.
Before leaving the UK we have did a last minute show at the University of
Luton with our label mates Biomechanical. That was one hell of a crazy crowd!
Yeh!
Then we were off to France and Belgium playing in two very different venues.
The Batofar in Paris - an old red boat in the river Seine, and Magasen 4 in
Brussels a sort of small musical factory in the centre of the city.
Probably the best two shows of the whole tour for the band's performance, but
go to Paris was the strangest and funniest show of the Ephel Duath's Imploding
tour.
We want to thank all the people who came out to see us on the tour, we feel a
growing support for Ephel Duath and this pushes us to do the best at every
occasion.
Up the Ephels!
Thanks, Lucio, Fabio, Sergio and Davide."
Ephel Duath's new drummer Sergio talks about playing live from Sheet music on a
short You tube clip

Biomechanical Dytone endorsement
Jamie, guitar wizard of Biomechanical has recently been endorsed by Dytone - he
explains here:
"What happened is the guys from Guitar, amp and keyboard in Brighton
basically arranged for a string endorsement for the tour, and as a result of
this I got a Dytone endorsement.
Dytone is a German company that makes effects pedals, they are all handmade
- I use them for distortion boost on solos and also the delays in choruses
Maybe in the future I'll have a chance to have some hand made to my
specification!"

WATAIN
The graves are about to open! Swedish Black Metal inquisitors WATAIN just inked
a deal with Season of Mist to release their third full-length album in Europe.
The tentative release date is set for March 2007.
The release will be followed by a European Tour.
After the release of the highly acclaimed 'Casus Luciferi' album in 2003 and the
tour with Dissection in 2004, Watain have been forging and wielding material
that clearly reveals their true potential as craftsmen of lethal Black Metal
Magic.
The recording of the album will take place in the infamous Necromorbus Studio
(Funeral mist, Malign, Ofermod etc).
Those who experienced Watain on stage can witness of a blood-soaked, rusty
metallic machinery embodying every aspect of the traditional Satanic Black Metal
cult, re-living and taking further the sinister legacy of Venom, Hellhammer and
Mayhem. But believe us when we say ‘you have seen nothing yet!'
DAGOBA WITH FULL FORCE!
We're proud to announce that DAGOBA's overwhelming rise isn't about to stop!
After last week's successful show in Paris with STONE SOUR and the late November
gigs in Benelux that unleashed tons of cheerful comments on the band's MySpace
page, the French metallers have been confirmed to play at the 14th edition of
the With Full Force festival, set to take place in Leipzig, Germany, from June
29th to July 1st, 2007. Other confirmed acts are CHILDREN OF BODOM, CANNIBAL
CORPSE, EKTOMORF, CREMATORY, and many others.
More information on www.withfullforce.de
HELLFEST DVD
Those of you mighty metal freaks who attended this year's edition of France's
Hellfest late June probably noticed that many cameras were set all around the
place to shoot bands performing on stage. The DVD will be ready pretty soon, and
for now you can watch the trailer on Snatch Music's MySpace page here. We're
pleased to inform you that it will feature DAGOBA, among others. And if you look
really carefully, you might see yourself in the crowd. Hi mom!!
Sturm story
Following the recent release of Sturmgeist's sophomore album 'Über',
kommandant Cornelius von Jakhelln has an interesting and funny idea…
Here's the message from the man:
"I hereby announce the first Sturmgeist competition ever! If you do remember the
PartyGeist section of our late website, where listeners could have their party
pictures posted for all to see, then you'll easily get the point.
Here it is: As we want to emphasize the fraternal nature of Sturmgeist (after
all, our MySpace page carries the name 'Sturmbruderschaft'), we ask all fanatics
out there to send us footage from your very own party action! Make it hot or
cold, hard or smooth, as long as it R.O.C.K.S! We only ask you two things,
namely that the footage contains: a) a quarrel and b) the colours red, black and
orange.
If you want to appear in our "Bloodaxe" video, record your fun in
high-resolution MPEG format, burn a DVD and send it to our Norwegian distributor
Indie Distribution:
Indie Distribution AS
C/O Eric Bloodaxe
Sinsenveien 4
N-0572 Oslo
NORWAY
We will edit a hilarious video for "Bloodaxe" from the contributions we receive,
and distribute it through TV and the Internet. You can listen to the song "Bloodaxe"
in our MySpace profile, or find it on the album "Über" that came out November
16th.
If you're in lack of ideas, here are some further suggestions:
- Sing "Bloodaxe" in a particularly spectacular way (gestures, costumes,
feathers, blood... everything is allowed!)
- Play along on the guitar like a true hero, even if you're not in possession of
one (a guitar, that is...)
- Give someone a hug when soaked with beer
- Striptease or titty flashing done the Viking way
- Film your own drinking contest
- Engage someone in a duel with a paper axe
- Stage an England-Germany soccer match indoors
Party über Alles!"

Cambian Dawn in studio
CAMBIAN DAWN are currently recording a new 5-song EP at The Library in North
London with evil studio genius Will Spong, who produced and engineered the
"Wastrel Children Of An Insane Universe" demo.
This will be the first recording to feature the band's new line-up with Chris
Goodchild on guitar, and the plan is that we'll use this EP to snare ourselves a
record deal next year.
From what we've heard of the rough studio mixes, the end result will be
something really special. We'll keep you posted on our progress.
If anyone's that curious, you might like to take a look at my blog on my
myspace page.
Much to our surprise, Wychwood Brewery (creators of the mighty brew
Hobgoblin) have partly sponsored the recording, and intend to post photos of us
all wearing Hobgoblin t-shirts in the studio on their website!
Out-fu*king-standing!!
In "other news", our friend Susie has come up with a rather nifty design which
will feature on the updated band website and also (sometime in the future)
official t-shirts.
In the meantime, feel free to email us at this address or via myspace.
Thanks for all your support so far - the best is yet to come! Chin chin!

BORN FROM PAIN update / competition
'We're currently on tour with Napalm Death and Mendeed in Europe and having a
blast. We have about 10 days left of the tour and the previous 3 weeks or so
have been killer. Everyone is having a good time and the shows have been really
good for us and we seem to be getting people into the Born From Pain sound,
which is very encouraging.
There have been a few mishaps on the way, such as buses breaking down, or
amps blowing up, but apart from that its all been smooth sailing with some
awesome shows. I'm sure the rest of the tour will rock just as hard too. As for
Born From Pain, the new album titled "War" is out via Metal Blade Records on the
14th November in the States, the 17th November in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland and the 20th November in the rest of Europe.
So far the feedback we have been getting from fans and press has been awesome
and we're siked for everybody to get to hear it. The War Is On.'

Austria and Switzerland! Don´t miss the chance to win a guitar, an amp, fan

The Haunted - European tour 2007/New UK Date & video tour-diary online
One of the most interesting and challenging metal outfits of our times, THE
HAUNTED, have just released their monster 'The Dead Eye' and are back home from
the initial European showcase run for the album, but this was just the beginning
of a long live campaign for this outstanding album!
THE HAUNTED posted a statement on their myspace on their European tour, here
we go:
'Hey! The European shows went great. A special thank you to the people who
came out to the shows in Stockholm and Gothenburg. We've never had as big a
crowd as this at home and that feels extra special to us, being home and all. We
have a special request for all our fans out there...
If you have video recordings from any of the show - share it man! Send us a
file or a link to the material so we can post it on our youtube-thing etc. and
let other folks see it as well. These next couple of days is resting and hanging
with the families. Just chillin´ and getting the batteries loaded again.
We're posting a little diary film from these last two weeks, a little
something the Bergman of the band put together for our entertainment, hope you
enjoy...On Thursday we get on the plane and head to Seattle and Blackest Of The
Black, and Mr Glen Danzig! We are stoked!
Thank you all and we'll see you soon!
Peace!/ The Haunted'

Norma Jean - UK Release Date For The New album "Redeemer" & Tour!
On Monday 15th January 2006, Atlanta-based noisecore quintet NORMA JEAN return
with, 'Redeemer', the stunning follow-up to 2005's critically acclaimed 'O' God,
The Aftermath'.
(Please note different release dates - US Sept 06, Rest Of Europe - 6th
November 2006, UK - 15th January 2007).
Produced by Ross Robinson (At The Drive-in, From First To Last, Sepultura),
'Redeemer' is at once the heaviest and most personal album in this band's
arsenal.
With their 2002 Solid State Records debut, 'Bless The Martyr And Kiss The
Child', NORMA JEAN established themselves as one of the noisiest and most
adventurous young bands in extreme music today. With 'O' God, The Aftermath'
(2005), drummer Daniel Davison, bassist Jake Schultz, and guitarists Chris Day
and Scottie Henry welcomed new vocalist and Arkansas native Cory Brandan to
their lineup and took their artful, technical noise to the proverbial next
level, earning raving reviews and a 2006 Grammy nomination (for Asterik Studios'
awe-inspiring artwork) in the process, and embarking on a grueling tour schedule
that most recently found them on the US Ozzfest 2006's second stage.
Licensed from the band's US label Solid State Records, Century Media Records
now is proud to present 'Redeemer' to the European audience. Simply slide it
into your player, and you will feel 'Redeemer' more than any other NORMA JEAN
album. Emotional, spiritual, visceral, physical - this isn't just the third
album NORMA JEAN wanted to make; it's the career-defining statement they had to
make! That 'Redeemer' marks a new step in the success story of the band has been
proved lately at the US Billboard Top 200, where the US release of the album
entered at #38.
Watch out for NORMA JEAN presenting their new material Live to European fans
alongside label mates HE IS LEGEND (new album ‘Suck Out The Poison' to be
released on 15th January on Century Media) in early 2007, see below for the
exact dates!
