Chaostar sign with Season of Mist
2010-02-13
In an endeavour to work with all the best Greek bands, Season of Mist are proud to announce the label inked a deal with CHAOSTAR! Led by SEPTICFLESH guitarist Christos Antoniou, CHAOSTAR should see their third album released on Season of Mist in the second semester of 2010.
Christos comments: "After 6 years of silence I am very pleased to continue my experimental side with Season of Mist. I know how they work and they understand what Chaostar is about. I am thinking to write an "opera" based on Euripides' drama masterpiece "Medea". I will definitely not follow the previous atmosphere only based on "classical" music. A combination of extreme metal sounds and modern music materials will play a dominant role in the music."

Thrusted by a new line-up, the yet-untitled forthcoming album will feature a guest performance by MOONSPELL frontman Fernando Ribeiro.

Prosthetic releases Ov Hell in North America
2010-02-13
(Los Angeles-) Prosthetic Records will be releasing black metal super group OV HELL's debut full length, "The Underworld Regime," in North America via an agreement with Indie Recordings, on April 13th. This group of Satan's all-stars has been sharpening their teeth in some of black metal's most influential bands for many years. Known as key figures in bands such as Dimmu Borgir and Gorgorath, Shagrath and King have come together to bring forward a new chapter in Norwegian black metal history. OV HELL will carry on in the same tradition for which King and Shagrath are known, but the collaboration between the two will mark a new era for them both.

"The Underworld Regime" originally started off as what was to be a new Gorgorath album. After a lengthy legal dispute over the band's name, King and Gorgorath vocalist Gaahl took the album to be a God Seed release. Then Gaahl decided to leave the metal world, and Shagrath entered the picture to collaborate with King, and OV HELL was born.

The album was recorded at Earshot Studio with producer Herbrand Larsen and mastered at Living Room Studios by Espen Berg. Frost (Satyricon, 1349), Ice Dale (Enslaved, I, Audrey Horne, Trinacria, Demonaz) and Teloch (Nidingr, God Seed, 1349, Umoral) were recruited for work in the studio. The album combines the best from two worlds - King`s remarkable riffs and the distinguishable voice of Shagrath. The end result is a black metal album that contains all of the power and blast beats worthy of their evil pedigrees. Expect an assault on all false gods and hypocrisy that is of this world today.

King stated; "The album will contain a mixture of our different musical preferences and the personalities involved, which hopefully will lead to something original and new. Although I have to say though that I am more occupied of developing myself spiritually and musically than strive to be viewed as original by fans. This album contains music I've worked on in my Gorgoroth and God Seed years. It's been a little hell to actually see this music form into a band, so the name of the band is quite suitable. Through the first song I got from Shagrath I knew that he would be the perfect man to join forces with. He has strong individual qualities and a strong will to power. I am very positive that when we finish up this album it will be an album that won't sound like anything we have done before, and with a quality that won't stand back from anything presented in black metal earlier!"

"With both of our demanding music careers and other projects, timing was not on our side. After last year's Inferno Festival, King and I yet again joined forces to brainstorm our need to collaborate our passion for dark art. Over the course of the past year, King sent me demo ideas that were so inspiring it made me put my skeptic feelings aside. I wasn't sure if I wanted to have another Black Metal project but my unquenchable thirst to explore my darkest beast, launched the birth Ov HELL. The majestic Ov HELL has become a band that reflects our roots, raw, ugly, and arrogantly blasphemous with uncompromising truth from two influential Norwegian musicians needing to express our primitive side, straight out Ov HELL." - Shagrath

Rob Zombie charts again
2010-02-11
(New York, NY) – Multi-platinum hard rock artist and filmmaker Rob Zombie’s album HELLBILLY DELUXE 2, his first for new label home Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records, has debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart with upwards of 48,500 units sold in its first week of release. The album also takes the top spot on the Hard Music chart, arriving at #1. HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 has been winning praise from press and fans alike. The Los Angeles Times declared “HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 is Zombie’s most consistently tuneful record to date,” while USA Today referred to the album as “masterfully crafted.”

This marks Zombie’s second Top Ten debut in 6 months…the Zombie-helmed Halloween 2 landed at #3 at the box office in August, 2009 and went on to become one of the biggest horror movies of the year, grossing more than $37 million to date. Zombie’s sinister directorial vision is responsible for reviving the Halloween franchise: the first installment of Halloween debuted at #1 at the box office in 2007, breaking all Labor Day Weekend 2007 records and has since grossed an estimated $80 million worldwide.

HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 hits streets more than a dozen years after its predecessor HELLBILLY DELUXE, which established Rob Zombie as a solo artist after the demise of his cutting edge band White Zombie. The album features all the demonic stylings for which Rob Zombie and his longtime bandmates guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Tommy Clufetos have come to be known. Rob Zombie and crew will soon be hitting the road to co-headline this year’s Mayhem Festival kicking off in San Bernadino, CA at the San Manuel Ampitheater on Saturday, July 10th (please see below for tour dates).

In other Rob Zombie news, the accomplished filmmaker will make his television directorial debut with an episode of CBS’ highly-rated show CSI: Miami set to air on Monday, March 1st at 10:00PM, EST. With more than 15 million albums sold, 7 Grammy nominations, the helming of 4 major motion pictures and dozens of music videos under his belt, Rob Zombie is a force to be reckoned with in today’s entertainment landscape. Zombie’s unique meld of horror and hard rock has influenced his sound as a musician, and more recently his vision as a director and writer.

We wish Diego all the best for the future projects and his soon to be second fatherhood. … We're trying to find a proper replacement for Diego as you read this. There are some candidates so far, but nothing concrete or definitive at the moment. We'd like to try the possible candidates first and be sure that they have what it takes. In case you think you could do the job, please get in touch with us writing to info@darknessbyoath.com...”

“…we are working on the new songs for our third album too. Aritz has done about four lyrics already and we'll try to see how they fit into the songs. The new songs are great to say the least, it's a fucking blast to rehearse new material. We can tell you that is gonna be more varied, fast and melodic stuff, so to speak. … We have uploaded a little preview of one song (Myspace) from our next album so you can listen to it! It is only half of the song more or less, and we can only say that it´s a simple base of the initial structure, so we´ve tons of work to do yet. … We have entered Auryn Studios last week, to record some previews of new songs and looks very well!!. We have 3 songs finished at the moment and a lot of ideas for 6 more and we expect to record about 11-12 songs for the new album.
You can listen a little preview in the main page or if you prefer a better quality, you can visit the Auryn Studios myspace page, and you will listen the new song automatically.
Well, that's it by now. Keep tuned for more news to come …”

The albums will be called "The Wicked Symphony" and "Angel Of Babylon", they will be available separately as well as a 2-CD-boxset in a limited special edition.

2010-02-08
Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the signing of Latvian Pagan Metal kings SKYFORGER!

Without a doubt SKYFORGER are one of the leading bands in the worldwide Pagan and Folk Metal movement and finally the Baltic men have found a proper home that will provide them full support to reach global domination.

SKYFORGER frontman Peter comments on the collaboration with Metal Blade as follows: For sure this is a new chapter in the bands career. We've come a long way from the underground, so this is definitely a highlight to be recognized by Metal Blade Records, which is known as one of the most hard working and well known labels in the metal music industry.

SKYFORGER have been tempering their music in the smithy of the Thundergod since 1995. For the last decade, the band has been fighting under the flag of Latvian Pagan Metal; an extreme blend of traditional Baltic Folk music and various Metal influences ranging from Norwegian inspired Black Metal through to 80s-rooted Heavy Metal. The band's unique combination of ancient and modern influence has given them a wide appeal throughout both the Metal and Folk scenes, and has brought great variety to their song writing over the course of the five SKYFORGER albums.

Through the years SKYFORGER has been busy on stages all over Europe. Behind the belt of SKYFORGER are already four European tours, many mini-tours and festival appearances and SKYFORGER is well known for their non-compromising live performances.

SKYFORGER is:
Peter lead vocals/guitars
Edgars Zirgs bass/vocals
Edgars Mazais drums/percussion
Kaspars folk instruments/backing vocal
Martins guitars/backing vocals

Primordial DVD pushed back
2010-02-08
Due to technical reasons the release of the long anticipated PRIMORDIAL DVD All Empires Fall had to be pushed back for two weeks. Irish Pagan masters PRIMORDIAL will now release their first ever DVD All Empires Fall on March, 12th / March, 15th 2010 via Metal Blade in Europe! It´ll be a DVD-set containing two discs full of quality material!

Disc 1 is the centrepiece of the DVD and features a full PRIMORDIAL headline show recorded live on the 24th of January, 2009 in their hometown of Dublin, Ireland. The show was filmed with five cameras and has an exceptional vintage look due to the hard work in post production. A truly impressive and powerful live gig, exciting from start to finish in front of die hard PRIMORDIAL audience and a perfect sound track that is available in stereo and 5.1!

Disc 2 features live clips from the bands appearances at Ragnarok Festival (Germany), Hove Festival (Norway) and Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium) in 2008. The second disc also features a band documentary with all the inside stories and loads of ancient footage from the early stages of the band. The documentary has a playing time of approx. 60 minutes. Interviews with all band members and rehearsal footage complete the second disc of the set!

The special Deluxe version of All Empires Fall features expanded packaging and two additional audio CDs featuring the Dublin show!

Here´s what singer A.A. Nemtheanga has to say about All Empires Fall:

…the gods have been working hard dogging the release of our first dvd 'All Empires Fall' but finally we are ready to prevail. The DVD will contain our Dublin show from last year, a documentary and bonus material from recent festivals. The special edition will contain the audio discs of the Dublin show, so you can hear how some old classics are played now, some almost two decades after writing. So how does it look? The simple answer is and without exaggeration possibly one of the best Metal live shows I've ever seen. We filmed it on analog reels, cut it with frightening pace and mixed it up with some very unconventional camera angles. It has the feel of a classic show from the late 70s not the clean, clinical digital vacuum most modern shows are filmed in. We also invested a lot of time, money and effort so don't expect one of those free recordings most festivals and soundstages offer. As normal we didn't do anything conventionally so there are no boring balcony stills or side of stage montages. No overdubs, auto tuning or drop ins we are proud that 'All Empires Fall' shows us as we are and as a Primordial show always is. Blood and thunder and no quarter given from start to finish…

Dew-Scented announce new album title
2010-02-08
German Thrashers DEW-SCENTED are finally in the studio recording their new album! Here´s an update from singer Leif Jensen:

After some last preparations in our rehearsal room this past weekend, we started tracking drums at Soundlodge Studios with Jörg Uken on Monday. Its fucking freezing outside, but in terms of drumming things are going great so far and Marc-Andrée is on fire!

The material for this new album is INTENSE and the drumming pretty demanding, so its gonna be fun working some more on this one…

Leif also reveals Invocation as the album title for this forthcoming longplayer to be released in May.

By the way, we can now reveal as well that the new album will be entitled Invocation. Our buddie and longterm partner in all visual matters Björn at killustrations.com has already prepared some killer artwork concept as well! We are super stoked with the results!

In other news, DEW-SCENTED have been confirmed to return to Frances awesome Hellfest Open Air this year!

Cataract enter studio in June
2010-02-08
Swiss Thrash heroes CATARACT have changed plans and pushed back their studio time to June/July. Straight from the keyboard of drummer Patrick Dürst:

Its murphys law. As soon as you have everything sorted, everything changes again. Here we go: our planned stay in the studio will be moved towards June/July, this will give us more time to sharpen the blades so its not a bad thing after all. However, the release date will also be moved and well keep you posted about it as soon as we know more. Were already more than busy with the new material and we will have a pre production done in Feb/march.

The band will nevertheless play a couple of shows over the next few months: We will add some dates very soon as these changes give us some space. However, we will keep the amount of shows to a minimum so we dont obstruct the preparations/work on the new album. Check our dates section and our MySpace to see the dates we have confirmed. Changing the studio also means well have to cancel some shows for summer which have already been confirmed but not yet announced. Were sorry about this but youll understand that our 6th album is our top priority!
