Kingcrow

KINGCROW su LUCRETIA RECORDS INTERNATIONAL

Cari amici,

siamo orgogliosi di comunicarvi che il nuovo album dei progster romani KINGCROW, intitolato "TIMETROPIA" è prossimo alla pubblicazione sotto la prestigiosa LUCRETIA RECORDS INTERNATIONAL.

La band ha infatti da poco siglato un contratto di esclusiva con l'etichetta italiana, che distribuirà il disco in tutto il mondo.

Con "TIMETROPIA" i Kingcrow si sono impegnati nella realizzazione di una vera e propria opera rock-progressive, degna erede dei grandi musical come "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Tommy", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", "Hair"

"TIMETROPIA" è un album progressive metal ricercato e dal flavour "novantiano", fatto di composizioni elaborate, di brani fluidi in continua evoluzione, melodie scolpite da linee vocali interpretate con passione e teatralità, un concept cangiante e visionario, influenzato nel soggetto dal registra David Lynch, nel personalissimo stile Kingcrow, che rievoca i fasti dell'art/pomp prog di band come Styx e Rush, e le raffinate magniloquenze di Kansas, Queen, Queensryche e Savatage!

La band sta ultimando negli "Under Pressure Studios" il processo di mixing del nuovo album, che segue l'acclamato "Insider", del 2004. All'indirizzo http://www.kingcrow.it/timetropia/copertina03.jpg potrete vedere un'anteprima del cover artwork ad opera di Fabrizio Cerroni.

La tracklist definitiva è la seguente:

1. A Perfect Life

2. Fading Out Part I

   Timetropia:

3. Out Of The Darkness

4. Rea lusion

5. Between Now And Forever

6. Fractured

7. Home

8. A merry-go-round (Chemical Ecstasy)

9. Fragile certainties

10. A hitch-hiker

11. Turn of events in a drawer

12. Fading Out Part II

Il processo di mastering verrà affidato al celebre John Cuniberti dei The Plant Mastering Studios (Aerosmith, Metallica, ecc.) in California, e la data di uscita è prevista entro maggio 2006.

we are proud to announce that the new album of the Roman progsters KINGCROW, "TIMETROPIA", will soon be published by the prestigious label LUCRETIA RECORDS INTERNATIONAL.

The band has just signed an exclusive contract with the Italian label, which will distribute the album worldwide.

With Timetrop ia, Kingcrow have created a true rock opera, a worthy heir of great musicals such as "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Tommy", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", and "Hair".

"Timetropia" is a progressive metal album with a sophisticated 90s flavour, made up of elaborate compositions, "fluid" tracks in constant evolution, and melodies sculpted by vocals interpreted with passion and theatrics. It's a prismatic and visionary David Lynch based concept album, in the distinctive Kingcrow style, in which many have seen echoes of Styx, Rush, Kansas, Queen, Queensryche and Savatage!

The band is currently completing the mixing process of the new album, which follows the acclaimed 2004 release "Insider". The cover artwork by Fabrizio Cerroni is available at the address http://www.kingcrow.it/timetropia/copertina03.jpg.

Misery Index

    MISERY INDEX has set Discordia as the title of their forthcoming Relapse Records debut.

    Discordia is scheduled for a May 22nd release and will feature ten new tracks from the Baltimore-based quartet. The track listing is "Unmarked Graves", "Conquistadores", "Outsourcing Jehovah", "Breathing Pestilence", "Meet Reality", "Sensory Deprivation", "The Meduse Stare", "Dystopian Nightmares", "Discordia" and "Pandemican". The LP and Japanese CD pressings of Discordia will include as a bonus track a cover of NASUM’s “Digging In”.

    The band's energetic and articulate music has been pushing the boundaries of metal, hardcore and punk since the its’ spring 2001 inception, and in what has become MISERY INDEX's calling card, Discordia promises to deliver lyrics as weighty and confrontational as their music is deadly.

    Bassist/vocalist Jason Netherton (the quartet is rounded out by drummer Adam Jarvis and guitarists John 'Sparky' Voyles and Mark Kloeppel) explains Discordia's general lyrical approach; "The central theme of Discordia revolves around a critical approach to everyday life in our 'modern' world. The lyrics are critical but at the same time hopeful. We hope that in looking at the world as it REALLY is, without painting any happy face on that which aches and suffers for change, we can sing these songs in confidence of something that matters and of something that screams for life in a mediated framework that consistently presents death as "the way of life" in the world outside the comfortable borders of the West, as well as in our own nation."

       MISERY INDEX has previously released the critically-acclaimed full-length Retaliate via Nuclear Blast as well as several independent releases through their own Anarchos record imprint.

Slayer

The four original members of SLAYER — Tom Araya/bass, vocals, Kerry King/guitars, Jeff Hanneman/guitars, and Dave Lombardo/drums — the pioneers and undisputed kings of extreme speed/thrash metal, have entered a Los Angeles-area studio to record what will be their first new studio album since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss". And if that's not enough, uber-producer Rick Rubin, who helped solidify the much-emulated SLAYER sound beginning with their genre-defining 1986 classic "Reign In Blood", has taken the helm as executive producer of the project. The original team is back in place.

Working closely with Rubin will be Josh Abraham (KORN, VELVET REVOLVER, ATREYU) who will produce the album. "We're real happy to have Josh on the team," said SLAYER's Jeff Hanneman. "He's a very creative and intuitive guy, he knows music, and he really gets who SLAYER is and what we're doing." The as-yet-untitled album will be released on SLAYER's longtime label, Rubin's American Recordings/Warner Bros. Records, and is expected out this fall.

"Dave's been back with us, playing live, for a couple of years now, and we're all looking forward to recording together again," said the band's Tom Araya. Kerry King added, "There really is no one like Dave — he doesn't have to work at what he does, he just walks in, picks up his sticks and goes."

Said Lombardo, "It feels really good being back with the same guys I started out with. The chemistry is definitely there, that's the exciting part of it, to capture that chemistry again. And that's what is happening."

Jeff, Tom and Kerry have been writing songs for this new album since they wrapped their last North American tour in September 2004. "This is probably the most prepared we've been to record an album since the '80s," King added. "We've been writing and cutting demos for months." While these may change, working titles for some of the songs that will be recorded include "Catalyst", "Cult", "Supremist", and "Consfearacy". "I like to write songs that have different meanings for different people," said King, "where everyone can say, 'I know what he means,' but still get their own sense of what the song is about."

But wait, this just gets better. On 6.6.06 in San Diego, CA, SLAYER will kick off a seven-week summer trek, "The Unholy Alliance Tour ­ Preaching to the Perverted", that boasts what has got to be the genre's coolest line-up of the summer — LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON and CHILDREN OF BODOM (who will rotate the second and third slots), and THINE EYES BLEED who will open the shows.

Not only is the line-up terrific, but ticket prices will not exceed $39.00, giving fans a great value for their dollar. Tour dates and all other details will be announced shortly. Confirmed dates are below.

According to SLAYER's longtime manager Rick Sales, "We want to make 'The Unholy Alliance' tour an annual global event, so we decided to be smart about the design from the beginning. We chose to book most of the tour¹s shows at indoor venues, as that allows the bands and the fans amenities like air conditioning and indoor bathrooms, as well as the very best stage lighting, production, and sound and less expensive concession prices. The few shows that will be played outside will be played at night in permanent facilities with our lighting, production, and so on. Everyone wins."

With more dates to be added, the confirmed dates for "The Unholy Alliance Tour ­ Preaching to the Perverted" are as follows:

Jun. 06 - Sports Arena - San Diego, CA
Jun. 07 - The Orleans - Las Vegas, NV

Malevolent Creation

Long-running Florida death metal warriors MALEVOLENT CREATION are currently in pre-production for their tenth studio album, "Doomsday X", due this fall via Nuclear Blast Records. The band are currently home writing and demoing material for the new CD, to be recorded in May and mixed in June. Recordings will take place at Mercury recording studios in Pompano Beach, FL with producer/engineer Gus Rios, with the mixing set to take place at Antfarm studis on Aaarhus, Denmark with producer Tue Madsen. "This will mark the first time in the band's career that an overseas producer has been brought in for mixing, but Tue's track record speaks for itself and we feel that we will be in good hands with Tue mixing the new album," the group write in a press release. "We need to have a massive production for this 10th record because this recording means a lot to us and we plan on touring for the next two years in support of it. All the bandmembers are contributing to the writing of this new album, so there will be a lot of different influences on this record. The music will be extremely heavy and insanely fast."

MALEVOLENT CREATION's current lineup includes original bandmembers Brett Hoffman on vocals, Jason Blachowicz on bass, Jon Rubin on guitar, Phil Fasciana on guitar and drumming powerhouse Tony Laureano (NILE, DIMMU BORGIR) on drums. Laureano has toured several times in the past with MALEVOLENT CREATION but now will make his debut studio recording with the band which is sure to be interesting. This lineup will also do all upcoming tours in support of "Doomsday X", which is expected to be released in September, followed by a massive European trek with DISGORGE and SKINLESS in support. Other touring options are being looked at as well. There is talk about a U.S. tour with BOLT THROWER in July-August, but nothing is confirmed yet.

« Après trois années passées au sein de Zuul Fx, je me vois obligé d’annoncer mon départ pour des raisons professionnelles.

J’ai pu, jusqu’à maintenant, gérer sans problèmes la distance qui me séparait des autres membres du groupe, chose que je ne peux plus garantir tenant compte de mon nouvel emploi du temps. Mon but a toujours été de faire avancer Zuul Fx et je ne suis malheureusement plus en mesure d’assurer ma disponibilité vis-à-vis de celui-ci.

Je profite pour remercier tous les gens qui soutiennent Zuul Fx, fans, amis, promoteurs et label. Sans oublier ma seconde famille Steeve, Shag, Aurel et toute l’équipe technique à qui je souhaite évidemment une bonne et longue route Metal n’Roll !!!

De mon côté étant incapable de rester musicalement inactif, un projet verra le jour prochainement avec entre autres Maik (Nostromo) et Ben (Sybreed). Mais tout d’abord un petit break s’impose !!!

A bientôt sur la route !

I’ve always wanted to push the band forward but I will unfortunately not be able to ensure my availability from now on.
I would like to thank all the people who support Zuul Fx, fans, friends, promoters and the label... and overall my second family, Steeve, Shag, Aurel and the technical staff, I wish them a good and long metal n'roll way !!!

Metallica

METALLICA have added a headlining show in Berlin to their current itinerary. The group's schedule is shaping up as follows:

Jun. 03 - Nurburgring, GER - Rock Am Ring Festival
Jun. 04 - Nurnberg, GER - Rock Im Park Festival
Jun. 06 - Berlin, GER - Waldebuhne
Jun. 08 - Arnhem, NETH - Gelredome
Jun. 10 - Donington UK - Download Festival
Jun. 11 - Dublin IRE - Download Festival
Jun. 15 - Pannonia Fields, AUT – Nova Rock

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET reported , METALLICA are strongly rumored to have secured the "headliner" slot at this year's Ozzfest. The annual traveling festival is expected to kick off in early July.

METALLICA recently confirmed in a posting on their official web site that they have recruited Rick Rubin (SLAYER, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT, AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) to produce their forthcoming studio LP.

Darkthrone

The End Records (in cooperation with Moonfog) has just re-released three of DARKTHRONE's most classic and grimmest offerings to the metal masses in North America: "Panzerfaust" (1995), "Total Death" (1996) and "Goatlord" (1996).

When DARKTHRONE formed in the late '80s, Norway's metal scene was nothing but a small flicker of flame. That flame eventually changed to a fiery torch as the band transformed their early death metal sound into a raw, inhuman swirl of mayhem and chaos aided by satanic imagery, corpse paint and dark shadows.

Heavily influenced by the work of cult act CELTIC FROST years earlier, DARKTHRONE's black metal charge allowed them to storm the '90s with black their metal peers (MAYHEM, SATYRICON, ENSLAVED) following close behind. Along the way they gathered legions of fans worldwide and left a path of destruction still felt today. Their influential work cannot be ignored.

DARKTHRONE's latest EP, "Too Old, Too Cold", recently debuted at No. 11 on the Norwegian national chart. The EP features a cover version of SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES' "Love In A Void" and the original "High On Cold War", featuring Grutle Kjellson from ENSLAVED on guest vocals.

DARKTHRONE will release their new album, "The Cult Is Alive" (view cover here) on February 27 via Peaceville. The album will be available on CD, special-edition CD featuring the band's first-ever promo video (for "Too Old, Too Cold") and on limited-edition shark grey vinyl.

Misery Inc.

The clip was shot in October-November under the watchful guidance of Jani Saajanaho of Dead Grafix, and was included on the band's recently issued sophomore album, "Random End". It is also featured on Inferno magazine's compilation DVD, along with many other Scandinavian metal videos.

The follow-up to 2003's "Yesterday's Grave", "Random End" is available now on Firebox Records. A demo version of the song "Fallen Rage" can be downloaded at this location.

The track "Scavenger of a dead world" can now be checked out at the official CHTON Myspace-profile: http://www.myspace.com/chton

This track is one of three on the new CHTON promo "Death awaits" recorded at GODT SELSKAP studio (Bloodthorn, Necrophagia, Keep of Kalessin etc.) and this is the first recording featuring newly recruited CHTON drummer Vegar 'Vyl' Larsen (Keep of Kalessin).

The band is currently without a label, but almost a full album of material is ready, and CHTON hope to release their 2nd album in the third quarter of 2006.

"Death awaits" tracklist:

1. Scavenger of a Dead World
2. Contagion (The Disease)
3. Dobermanifesto

CHTON has also launched a brand new website! After over 29.000 hits, the old site was all worn out, and it was definately time to put it to rest. The band comments that "We'll update the news here more often now, and we'll slowly fill out some blanks we haven't done yet (like more pictures, more info on previous gigs, more interviews etc.)! We've got some new downloads for y'all to check out, and we're also working on another clip of drunken disorder and Death Metal dicipline from the recording of the Death Awaits promo."

Two new video downloads is available:

- Unholy Communion (MPG VIDEO): http://www.chton.com/downloads/video/chton_unholy_communion.mpg
Music taken from "Chtonian Lifecode". The video is edited from footage shot when CHTON opened for Mayhem at Studentersamfundet in Trondheim 15.01.2005.

The new album is scheduled for release Monday the 24th of April all over Europe via Sony/BMG in Norway and Roadrunner Records international in the rest of Europe. No American date is set yet, but it should not be too long after. . .

Swedish melodic black metallers SIEBENBÜRGEN have split up. The group's official statement on the matter reads as follows:

"I am hereby sad to inform you all that SIEBENBÜRGEN is no more.

"On the 1st of February 2006 we had a band meeting and came to the conclusion that we have to bury SIEBENBÜRGEN. After 12 years, we sadly don't have the energy and inspiration to take the band any further and it would be wrong to us and to our fans to continue without the passion that SIEBENBÜRGEN deserve.

"During these years, we have struggled and bled to keep SIEBENBÜRGEN alive and well, we have published five albums that we are very proud of we got to see the world and we met a lot of great people in the process, and our fans fucking rule!
But now it is over and we will lay SIEBENBÜRGEN to rest. It has been a great experience that we would not trade for anything in the world.

"We would like to thank Ed and Karen of No Cross Management, Sabine at IDB booking, Eva and the staff at Napalm Records and all the bands we have toured with during the years, and last but not least, all of our devoted fans that believed in us and kept us going through all this time.

"Thanks for everything and may the gods of metal be with you!"

Canadian death metallers KATAKLYSM have abandoned their plans of shooting their video for the song "Crippled & Broken" in Amsterdam this April, and will instead film the clip next week in Montreal, Quebec, Canada with Maurice Swinkel of Lowlife Media. "Although some of the shots and story plot have already been filmed over last weekend in remote parts of Holland, the band will be filmed in Montreal February 16-19," the group write in a press release. "The song 'Crippled & Broken', the band's first video from the new album, 'In the Arms of Devastation', deals with a war veteran dealing with post-war syndrome. Expect a 'heavy' video exploring the mind of a broken down soldier. The video should be ready for submission before the band's live assault [in early April] beggins."

Atheist

Seminal technical metal pioneers ATHEIST have been confirmed for the Bloodstock Open Air festival, set to take place July 14-15 at the Catton Hall in Walton On Trent, Derbyshire, U.K. The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

ATHEIST
BAL-SAGOTH
ENSIFERUM
NOCTURNAL RITES
PYRAMAZE
RAUNCHY
SEASONS END
TURISAS

ATHEIST guitarist/vocalist Kelly Shaefer has reassembled what is widely considered the band's classic recording lineup (Shaefer, guitarist Rand Burkey, bassist Tony Choy, and drummer Steven Flynn) for several exclusive festival performances, including Italy's Evolution Festival and Germany's Wacken Open Air.

ATHEIST has recently had its wildly-influential catalog (1988's "Piece of Time", 1993's "Elements", and the 1991's legendary "Unquestionable Presence") reissued internationally via Relapse Records.

The official DISTURBED message board has been shut down by the administrators, allegedly because the group's frontman, David Draiman, grew increasingly tired of the persistent criticism levelled at him over his seemingly contradictory statements regarding the band's possible appearance at this year's Ozzfest.

Norwegian extreme metallers ENSLAVED are putting the finishing touches on their new album, "Ruun", tentatively due on May 8 via Tabu. "The final mixes are being made at this very moment in Propeller Studio in Oslo," the group write on their web site. "The band produces the album themselves, with Mike Hartung as leader of the pack. Mastering will take place in Sweden immedeatly after the mix is finished. Later in February the band will make not one, but two videos from 'Ruun'."

LEAVES' EYES/ex-THEATRE OF TRAGEDY frontwoman Liv Kristine's new solo single, "Fake a Smile", has entered the German Media Control single chart at position No. 94. The song has also landed at No. 21 on the Native 25 Charts (German DJ Dance Chart).

As previously reported, the video for "Fake a Smile" has been posted online at RoadrunnerRecords.de. Check it out: Small (13 MB), Large (28 MB). The clip was produced by AVA Studios (who has previously worked with SARAH CONNOR and JEANNETTE) and was directed by Alexander Diezinger.

"Fake a Smile" is the first single from Liv Kristine's new solo album, "Enter My Religion", due on March 3 via Roadrunner Records. "Enter My Religion" was produced by Alexander Krull (ATROCITY, LEAVES' EYES) at Mastersound Studio in Stuttgart/Fellbach, Germany.

Due to the split between Elitist Records and Earache, Carnival In Coal's
contract with the British label has been deleted. The French duet just inked
a contract with French independant label Equilibre Music (Crack Ov Dawn,
Zuul FX, Lycosia, MXD).
"People at Equilibre are more motivated by working with us than any people at Earache would have ever been now that Lee Barrett's gone" says singer Arno STROBL. "I'm glad we made it with Earache for the thrill of it, that's all. They didn't give a shit about neither CinC nor any other Elitist band except Ephel Duath and Biomechanical which they kept under contract. I wish all our former label mates to find a new deal with a label that will care about them. We learnt we weren't part of the label anymore through their website. I noticed our name was in the "Past Artist" bill. Nobody had kept us informed. I assume this is what they call British humour." he adds.

Carnival In Coal will be working this year on a fifth album planned early
2007. "Fear Not CinC" and "French Cancan" will be reissued through Equilibre
Music as a special digipak this Spring.

In the meantime, the duet announces his first live appearance ever !
They'll be co-headlining the 5 th edition of the Killer Fest (Chaulnes, France) along with Swedish audio terrorists Entombed on the 15th of April, 2006.
CinC's live line up for the occasion will feature Frédéric Leclercq (Maladaptive) and  El Worm (Wormfood) on guitars and backing vocals, Timmy Zecevic (Wormfood) on keyboards and Alexis Damien (Wormfood) on drums.
Other dates to be announced soon.

Biomechanical

BIOMECHANICAL

QUATTRO DATE IN ITALIA

Formatisi nel 2001, i Biomechanical sono subito balzati all'attenzione della critica col primo demo "Distorted", che gli è valso varie proposte da parte delle principali etichette specializzate, inglesi e non solo. Due anni dopo, è la Revolver Records a pubblicare l'album di debutto, "Eight Moons", grazie al quale sono giunti agli occhi del grande pubblico.

Lo stile dei Biomechanical, che molti definiscono come una miscela unica di metal tradizionale, trash e sonorità più moderne, il tutto amalgamato da una scrittura personale e innovativa, ha dato alla band la possibilità di distinguersi nella scena metal e di ritagliarsi il proprio spazio fra gli altri gruppi. Nel corso del 2003, numerose sono state anche le occasioni per ammirare la band dal vivo, soprattutto in Inghilterra, dove ha tenuto il suo primo tour da headline in novembre. Meno di un anno dopo, le loro note arrivano all'orecchio di Lee Barrett, boss della Elitist Records, che nel settembre 2004 li mette sotto contratto per il successivo disco. Quest'ultimo vede la luce nel giugno 2005 e, nelle parole dello stesso Barrett, "dimostrerà di aver lasciato il segno nella storia dell'heavy metal inglese". "The Empires of the worlds", questo il titolo, si avvale della produzione del leggendario Andy Sneap (Killswith Engage, Nevermore, Opeth, Machine Head), e della collaborazione grafica, per copertina e artwork, di Nat Jones, rinomato artista già al lavoro per "Spawn" e per Rob Zombie. Se il concept dietro l'album si riferisce ad un futuro in cui uomini e macchine arriveranno a fondersi insieme (visione del cantante rappresentata nella inquietante copertina), le influenze musicali stanno per lo più nel glorioso passato dell'heavy inglese, Judas Priest su tutti. I Biomechanical infatti rappresentano efficacemente la perfetta unione tra il metal estremo più moderno e quello classico, una fusione devastante tra i riff assassini dei Judas Priest, l'incedere violento dei Pantera e la potenza dei Metallica!!

Prepariamoci dunque a vederli all'opera anche in Italia, per una serie di quattro concerti che li vedranno calare per la prima volta nella penisola.
