The Postman Syndrome to release lost demos
2010-02-28
On May 22nd, EAST OF THE WALL will be independently releasing the demos for what would have been THE POSTMAN SYNDROME's second album. The band - of which four out of five members went on to EAST OF THE WALL - released their debut LP Terraforming, on Now Or Never Records in 2002. A second album was planned but never recorded due to the label shutting down in 2004.

All of the material that would comprise the record was demoed in the band's rehearsal space, but without funding none of it was ever professionally recorded. After a few lineup changes THE POSTMAN SYNDROME eventually surfaced as EAST OF THE WALL, released a full-length, Farmer's Almanac, via Forgotten Empire Records, and recently announced their sophomore album Ressentiment, which will be released this July via Translation Loss. Yet the band always regretted constant limbo of the final POSTMAN SYNDROME material.

Now, five years after the intended release date, THE POSTMAN SYNDROME's demos have been reworked, remixed, and will finally be pressed to disc. Titled God Relieve Our Grief: A Mausoleum Of Stillborn Demos, it comprises ten songs recorded in various sessions between 2003 - 2005. The tentative tracklist is as follows.

01. "Gut"
02. "Heads Below Or Tails"
03. "Water Signs"
04. "The Order Of Levin" (new drums, remix)
05. "Be Fruitless and Vanish" (new drums, remix)
06. "Sent" (aka untitled song #3)
07. "Pedovile" (remix)
08. "Beards Mahoney" (remix)
09. "It's A Burden, I Know" (new drums, guitars, vocals, remix)
10. "The Consequence Of Cowardice" (new recording, new guest vocals by members of Fake Gimms)

Commented bandleader Freddy Cricien: „I'm very proud to announce that we have signed with Nuclear Blast, for Europe and it's various territories. We are entering a new and very important chapter in our lives/career, and I know this is the right home for us in Europe...without a doubt! I feel that all the folks at NB genuinely understand and respect our history, longevity, legacy, etc. I also know they believe in our future,in what we still have to offer.. Which will manifest itself in our new album coming out this year! Not to mention, it is an honor and privilege to be label mates with the legendary Agnostic Front. We have not shared a label together since our first release on In Effect/Relativity in 1989. Not only are they family, literally, but they are also an inspiration to all of us in the Hardcore world and beyond! Looking forward to a new year, new label, and new record! See you on tour!"

Nuclear Blast A&R representative Jaap Wagemaker states: „Today it is with great honor to announce the signing of NY Hardcore legends MADBALL to the Nuclear Blast roster. They started out as one of the most innovative bands of the scene, became one of the most influential ones and easily stood the test of time. Just like AGNOSTIC FRONT MADBALL always were and ever will be nothing but a legend and an unstoppable force! We are excited and extremely proud to be working with and for Freddy and the boys in Europe! Be aware, the new album will strike - the knife will get deeper again!"

Wormrot sign with Earache Records
2010-02-27
Earache Records is proud to announce the signing of Singapore grindcore band WORMROT.

WORMROT is a three-piece band formed in 2007 by schoolfriends Arif (vocals) and Rasyid (guitars). Completed by drummer Fitri, WORMROT take their love of all things heavy and combine it into utterly pulverising, classic-sounding grindcore.

Drawing on influences from such grindcore legends as INSECT WARFARE, WORMROT recorded a number of EPs and splits, before recording their debut full-length album, ABUSE. Originally released by Scrotum Jus Records in May 2009, Earache Records is due to re-issue ABUSE with a 34 track bonus disc of demos and unreleased material, in all of its punishing glory on April 12th, 2010, before WORMROT kick off a European tour.

View the ABUSE album cover at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/wormrot_abuse.jpg

WORMROT comment:

"There are many more talents waiting to be discovered in the East. We're fucking ecstatic to be given this chance. But come the month of May, it's less talk, all action!"

Watain complete new album
2010-02-27
Swedish black metal kings WATAIN just completed their fourth full-length album, after two intense months at Necromorbus Studio!

Vocalist and mastermind E. comments: "I am now holding in my hand the final master tape of what might be the most dynamic and charged WATAIN release ever recorded. May the gods unto which it is written be pleased! We are very much looking forward to share this rich feast with our followers, whom we know have been hungering for a very long time. All I can say is that it will be worth the wait. We raise our cups unto all of you whose patience and support have been constant during the three fiery years since the release of "Sworn to the Dark", and look forward to set the night aflame with you again soon!"

The unveiling of WATAIN's fourth monument will take place on June 7th, under ceremonial circumstances yet to be revealed.

In collaboration with Sweden Rock Magazine and Season of Mist, WATAIN have put together a special CD that all subscribers of the magazine will get with issue #70 (out April 6th). The CD consists of a cover of BATHORY's "The Return of Darkness and Evil" as well as the brand new track "Reaping Death", from WATAIN's upcoming album, which title is yet to be announced.

Last but not least, WATAIN will release a single entitled "Reaping Death". It will be released as a picture 7" EP on Walpurgisnacht. This single will feature the track "Reaping Death", along with a special B side.

Cynic to release new EP in May
2010-02-27
On next May 17th, cult progressive metallers CYNIC will release a brand new EP entitled "Re-Traced", including reinterpretations of four songs from the critically acclaimed "Traced in Air" album, as well as a previously unreleased song.

"'Re-traced' is an experiment for us - an opportunity to turn four songs from 'Traced in Air' inside out and to share something new", comments frontman Paul Masvidal. "In our exploration, we've created music that is part "sci-fi prog folk", part psychedelic rock, part minimalist restraint. These interpretations feel channeled from another galaxy. For the most part the tunes reference some of our favourite musical forms and in our own curious way (electronic/ambient, jazz/fusion, drum n' bass, experimental, shoegaze). There is no vocoder, no traditionally busy CYNIC riffs that are some of our most signatures sounds, but the music retains its song structure, integral melodic sense, harmony and lyrical inspiration."

About the new song: "It is entitled 'Wheels Within Wheels' and it is the most rock / metal tune on the EP. Mood-wise it has a melodic optimism that is a bit more transparent than in other CYNIC songs, giving it a unique and emotive color. We are really pleased with the performances and energy of this track. Considering this song is perhaps the closest reference to a familiar CYNIC sound, it still leaves behind many of the former trademarks and introduces a new shade of groove and dynamic. Progressive music has many faces, and that is always the name of the game for CYNIC: re-inventing ourselves and pushing our own musical boundaries for ourselves and our fans."

Norther announce new guitarist
2010-02-24
Finnish Melodic Death Metal act NORTHER have issued the following update:

“During the last couple of months Daniel Freyberg from Naildown has been helping us out with our recent live duties. Since he turned out to be a perfect fit in every way we decided to offer him to become a permanent member of the band. Besides his skillfull guitar work he is also a talented songwriter.

We have started composing new material for the next full length studio album which will be tentatively out in autumn 2010. At the moment we have a big bunch of great tracks from which we will start choosing the best ones for the album…"The cream always rises to the top so no filler allowed"

As a grand opening for our fans we are heading to Astia Studios next weekend to record one new song with our longtime producer Anssi Kippo. This exclusive song is going to be released as an online single during April 2010 – so make sure to check out our MySpace profile for more news soon!” - Norther

The new member Daniel Freyberg comments this great news:

"I have really been enjoying my time in Norther from the very first show. After getting so well along with the guys, I was very pleased when they asked me to become a permanent member of the band. I really believe that together we're going to create the strongest Norther album ever!"

1349 announce album title
2010-02-24
Norwegian black metal titans 1349 have announced the title and release date of their new album. The album, entitled "DEMONOIR," will be released by Indie Recordings throughout Europe on April 26, and by Prosthetic Records in North America on April 27.

For the band's fifth full-length release, 1349 decided to suck out the fiercest and most potent energies from every single member and surroundings, channeling it into songs that are pulsating with uncanny atmospheres, rawness and nerve shattering intensity. The whole process of getting the material on record was like one long, exhausting black magic summoning that could not be allowed to go wrong.

"DEMONOIR" is without a shadow of a doubt 1349's darkest, most sinister and brutal work to date, and in this case it comes to mean that the band has gone from the utterly extreme to the genre-expanding and mind-boggling. Black Metal cannot, and will never be the same.

"DEMONOIR" will be available in North America as a digipack CD and a limited edition 12" picture disc LP.

Lineup:
Archaon - Guitars
Frost - Drums
Ravn - Vocals
Seidemann - Bass

The Acacia Strain DVD hits Billboard
2010-02-24
THE ACACIA STRAIN's first DVD, "The Most Known Unknown," which was released last Tuesday, February 16, debuted at #10 on Billboard's Top Music Video Sales Chart. Front man Vincent Benett commented; "This is awesome news. Thank you to everyone who went out and bought the DVD last week. We are really proud of it, and hope you enjoy it. We look forward to seeing you out on tour once we are done writing and recording our new record."

Head over to Metal Injection to check out the clip for "Balboa Towers" and to Myspace Metal to see the clip for "Dr. Doom," both from the DVD.
The double disc set, "The Most Known Unknown," marks the band's first DVD. Disc one documents a sold out show at the Worcester Palladium shot in December 2008, while disc two contains footage of a show at the much smaller and more intimate Waterfront in the band's home turf of Holyoke MA, as well as three music videos, a documentary covering the formative years of the band and a "10 Seconds of Fame" bonus segment, in which select fans were given 10 seconds on camera to do whatever they wanted. The cover art was done by Paul Romano, who also did the cover of the band's album, "Continent."

THE ACACIA STRAIN's last full length, 2008's "Continent," debuted at number 2 on Billboard's "Heatseekers" Chart and the band won the "Myspace Readers' Choice Award" at 2009's GOLDEN GODS awards. The band is gearing up to record a new album for a tentative summer 2010 release.

Crematorium newsflash
2010-02-24
CREMATORIUM, the Los Angeles purveyors of "Murdercore," has announced that guitarist and longest standing member, Mark Uehlein, will be leaving the band for personal reasons. His last show with CREMATORIUM will be this Saturday, February 27th at The Blvd in Los Angeles, CA.

Vocalist Daniel Dismal commented on the subject: "This Saturday night is going to be Mark's last show ever with CREMATORIUM. Mark has dedicated a lot of blood and sweat into playing with CREMATORIUM since 1996 and in many ways, CREMATORIUM would not have done as much as we have as a band if it was not for Mark's involvement with the band. It's a sad day to watch Mark leave but we want to give him a proper send off and let him know just how much he will be missed and how much he's actually given to the underground Metal scene as a whole."

Epica tour bus crashed
2010-02-22
On February 12th female fronted Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA was on the road to Victoria, Canada. To reach the next city on their current tour, they had to drive through the Rocky Mountains. In the early morning on Canadian Highway 1 a car went spinning for the bus. By running the bus against the rail-guard busdriver Dave Mabry managed to avoid a head-on collision. Some band- and crew members were thrown out of their bunks and the car was totally damaged. But fortunately nobody was injured.

After a few hours delay and some on the spot repairs the bus was able to continue the journey.
