Norwegian band TRAIL OF TEARS has been rejoined by vocalist Cathrine Paulsen, who sang on the group's 2002 album, "A New Dimension of Might".

TRAIL OF TEARS's fifth album, "Existentia", has just been released via Napalm Records. The CD was recorded at Soundsuite Studio in Marseille, France with producer Terje Refsnes and includes contributions from French female singer Emmanuelle Zoldan and Norwegian keyboard master Bernt Moen.

TRAIL OF TEARS members Jonathan Perez (drums), Kjell Hagen (bass), Runar Hansen (guitar) and Kjetil Nordhus (vocals) announced on November 28, 2006 that they were leaving the group. Vocalist Ronny Thorsen has since vowed to carry on with new members.

Denver, Colorado's CEPHALIC CARNAGE has entered the studio to record its as-yet-untitled new full-length album. The band is tracking the follow-up to 2005's "Anomalies" in their own studio with longtime producer/engineer Dave Otero.

Commented guitarist Zac Joe: "We've started work on our fifth studio album and even though Colorado was hit with three of the worst blizzards in its history, which brought everything to a standstill, John [Merryman] has completed the drum tracks and we are neck deep into the guitars. I can say without a doubt say that John has pushed himself harder and out-performed anything I've ever heard from him, and that’s saying a lot. As for the rest of the music, it gives me that excited naughty little feeling in the pit of my stomach that can only be compared to the first time you make out with your best friend's girl."

CEPHALIC CARNAGE will have the recording wrapped up by early spring for a May 2007 release. Additionally, CEPHALIC CARNAGE has been picked to support SLAYER and UNEARTH at the tour's Denver stop on January 31.

Sweden's SCAR SYMMETRY has issued the following update:

"At the moment we're in the midst of writing material for our third album, set to be recorded at the end of the summer. So far we have like 10 songs in the works and there are more set to be written in the near future. Hopefully we'll have around 15-20 songs to choose from, in time for the recording.

"As [far as] upcoming live appearances [are concerned], we're very much looking forward in participating in this year's edition of ProgPower UK [festival], set to take place outside of London, at the end of March. Also, like we've told you before in an earlier post, there is a new tour in the works, which we hope will be 100% confirmed shortly, so that we can share some further info with you guys."

SCAR SYMMETRY's sophomore album, "Pitch Black Progress", was released earlier in the year via Nuclear Blast Records.

Swiss hard rockers GOTTHARD entered the studio late last year with producers Leo Leoni and Ronald Prent (who worked with the band on their last effort, "Lipservice") to begin recording their new album, entitled "Domino Effect". An early summer release is expected.

GOTTHARD last year scored its 10th consecutive No. 1 album in the band's home country of Switzerland. "Made in Switzerland" — which beat the latest releases from TOOL and PEARL JAM — is a CD/DVD set that contains 17 songs that were recorded during a concert at the Hallenstadion in Zürich in December 2005. In addition to the complete concert, the DVD includes "making-of" footage and many new photos.

GOTTHARD's latest studio effort, "Lipservice", was certified platinum in Switzerland in January 2006 for sales in excess of 40,000 copies. The ceremony took place in Zürich during the "PISA Finals."

Long-running German thrashers DESTRUCTION have posted their new video for the track "Total Desaster" at this location. The song comes off the band's "Thrash Anthems" album, which was released in the U.S. this past Tuesday (January 23). Alongside 13 remakes, "Thrash Anthems" contains two brand new songs ("Deposition (Your Heads Will Roll)" and "Profanity"). The CD was recorded at House of Music Studio in Germany) and Little Creek Studio in Switzerland with almost the same team that worked on the group's "Inventor of Evil" CD: DESTRUCTION's live sound engineers Gerd Krenz, Franky Winkelmann and GURD/POLTERGEIST mastermind VO Pulver. The tracks were mixed by one of the best metal producers in Europe — Jacob Hansen, the Danish producer and INVOCATOR singer and guitarist.

Metal Blade Records has announced the signing of death metal legends HATE ETERNAL to worldwide deal. The band is currently writing material for the follow-up to 2005's "I, Monarch", which is expected to be recorded at HATE ETERNAL mainman Erik Rutan's own Mana Recording Studios in June/July 2007.

Formed in 1997, HATE ETERNAL's goal has always been to challenge musical limitations and create new boundaries with no compromise; to obtain goals aimed at by many yet reached by only a select few; to create music that not only defies all clichés, but that creates a true sense of power, dissonance and consonance, heaviness and speed, melody and brutality, simply put horrific hymns. Guitarist Erik Rutan has crafted an impressive career by attaining that goal consistently for well over a decade with his legendary work in RIPPING CORPSE and MORBID ANGEL. Not to mention his other career as engineer/ producer for bands such as CANNIBAL CORPSE, SOILENT GREEN, SIX FEET UNDER, CELLADOR, VITAL REMAINS, PREMONITIONS OF WAR, GOATWHORE and INTO THE MOAT, just to name a few.

Metal Blade Records owner/CEO Brian Slagel, stated: "I am truly honored to be working with HATE ETERNAL. They are a legendary band and I am so happy to welcome them to the Metal Blade family."

Erik Rutan commented: "Signing to Metal Blade for us reconfirms that all the hard work, blood, sweat and tears we have put into the band has been worth every single moment. This is completely amazing. We know we will forge on with all the support and confidence a band can ask for from their record label. We are proud to be a part of the hugely successful Metal Blade family and look forward to bringing our music to the next level."

Dark Symphonies recording artist AUTUMN TEARS has finished recording its long-awaited new release, entitled "The Hallowing". Mainman Ted Tringo says: "All that is left now is the final mixing, mastering and completion of the layout. Expect the album to be ready within a few months at the latest."

After a decade of evolving, the band has finally shed its shell of neoclassical, darkwave and gothic sound, opting to pursue a more traditional classical and chamber music style. Drawing influences from such masters as Bach, Brahms, Hayden, Mahler and a host of others, AUTUMN TEARS boasts rich and diverse musical arrangements based on music theory and employs fully live instrumentation including a live string section, woodwinds, oboe, french horn and their trademark operatic vocals.

AUTUMN TEARS' last release was 2004's "Eclipse".

DRAGONFORCE guitarist Herman Li joined guitar legend Steve Vai during the song "Reaping" at the Ibanez Jem 20th anniversary show on January 20 at the Key Club in Hollywood. The two guitarists traded solos along with Vai's band consisting of Tony MacAlpine (guitar/keyboards), Billy Sheehan (bass), Dave Weiner (guitar) and Jeremy Colson (drums).

Later on in the show, Herman Li rejoined Steve Vai and his band along with guitar legend Joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert and Andy Timmons to jam on "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" (FRANK ZAPPA) and "Voodoo Chile" (JIMI HENDRIX).

The album also contains the most aggressive songs in the MAYHEM history as well as the most wicked and darkest."

The upcoming CD will mark MAYHEM's first release since 1993 with vocalist Attila Csihar back behind the microphone.

METALLICA's classic 1986 album "Master of Puppets" has been selected by Spence D. and Ed Thompson of IGN Music as the "most influential" heavy metal album of all time. In the accompanying blurb explaining their choice, Spence writes, "Heavy metal fans no doubt have argued till blue in the balls about which METALLICA album is the greatest. It's a tough argument, to be true, but after kicking all naysayers in the gonads, we came to the conclusion that the band's third magnum opus was easily their best. Why? Because it built upon and perfected everything they had experimented with prior. It's the album where all the pieces come together in glorious cohesion and it's the album that finally woke the general public up to the power and the glory that METALLICA was born to spread."

Massachusetts-based metallers SHADOWS FALL will release their new album, "Threads of Life", on April 2 in Europe via Roadrunner Records and April 3 in North America via Atlantic Records. The CD will include the songs "Redemption", "Burning the Lives", "Another Hero Lost" and "Venomous". The band irecently wrapped up the mixing process with Zeuss (HATEBREED, UNEARTH). Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, VELVET REVOLVER) produced the disc in Los Angeles at Dave Grohl's Studio 606.

"Nick helped us to push our performances to new heights and experiment a lot more with vocal harmonies and guitar layers that have really added new dimensions to these songs," frontman Brian Fair said in a statement. "This record has a real ebb and flow throughout, covering a wide variety of emotions and levels of intensity. There are the full-on thrash tunes, just balls-out and metal, some technical shred tunes and some acoustic melodic moments that offer a nice contrast to the more brutal moments."

Eicca Toppinen, the primary composer of the Finnish cello-rockers APOCALYPTICA, has issued the following update:

"We are still working on pre-production for the [new] album, so there is nothing special to announce beside that we've decided to start drum recordings with Mikko [Sirén] beginning of March. It's still too early to know release date as there is many open issues, especially regarding guest artists...

"Anyhow, the band is in great mood, motivated and working hard so we should end up with really great album!"

As previously reported, APOCALYPTICA will release its double-DVD set, "The Life Burns Tour", in the U.S. on February 6.

SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo took part in a recording session with APOCALYPTICA during SLAYER's recent "Unholy Alliance" tour stop in Helsinki, Finland for a song on APOCALYPTICA's upcoming album.

Lombardo's appearance on the new APOCALYPTICA CD will mark the third time he has played on an APOCALYPTICA album, having previously performed on 2003's "Reflections" and then again on 2005's "Apocalyptica".

Swedish black/death metallers THE LEGION, featuring former MARDUK drummer Emil Dragutinovic, have issued the following update:

"The progress of our third album is coming along fine and most of the material is ready. We still have a lot of vocal arrangements to deal with but we hope to get started with the recording this spring. We've also been busy upgrading our own studio, Art Decay, since the last album. The plan is to record everything there this time and hopefully this will result in a more dynamic and experimental release. The cover art will once again be handled by Kris Verwimp [MARDUK, ABSU, IMMORTAL]."

THE LEGION released its sophomore album, "Revocation", in February 2006 via Listenable Records.

Colorado metallers SILENCER have issued the following update:

"SILENCER is currently seeking a bassist, as Friday [Jan. 19] was Brandon's [West] final show with us. Interested candidates should contact silencermetal @ hotmail . com for directions on submitting demo CDs or mp3s along with a bio. We are looking for a highly motivated, dedicated bass player and team player who is ready to help further the band. Candidate must be flexible to tour and live in the Denver area to able to rehearse regularly. The candidate must most importantly be able to play tight, fast, precise thrash and have pro equipment. We look forward to hearing from you!"

SILENCER recently entered Firestorm Studios to begin recording the follow-up to "Death of Awe", tentatively due later in the year.

Metal Blade Records Europe will reissue the first two BRAINSTORM albums, "Hungry" and "Unholy" with tons of bonus material. Both albums will be released on March 23 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and March 26 in the rest of Europe. Each release (two-CD double-digipack) will be available for the price of a regular CD.

Commented BRAINSTORM guitarist Torsten Ihlenfeld; "When we played our tour for 'Liquid Monster', we realized after a few glasses of wine that in 2007 it would be ten years since the release of our debut album 'Hungry'. Besides the typical wining around how fast time flies by, etc… we also came up with something creative. Why not re-release the debut album as well as its successor 'Unholy'? Both records were not available anymore for quite some time and the timing seemed perfect to us. No new album in 2007, but two re-issues of our first two albums. Of course we didn't just want to re-release the albums in [their] original versions and after searching the archives, we found some really cool bonus material to include. Next up it was clear that we wanted to remaster both albums and even remix the 'Hungry' album if in any way possible — and we did!!! This is definitely the best possible sound you can get of the first two BRAINSTORM albums! Compare it to the originals which are included as a bonus in the very same package(s)."

"About the bonus material (remastered as well!)… The 'Hungry' album includes our '5th Season demo' from 1994 with six songs and a running time of 30 minutes. This demo gives you the chance to travel to the very early days of the band and yes, we are still very proud of the demo and quite satisfied with it! 'Unholy' includes two demos, 'Heart Of Hate' from 1993 and the 'Promo 96' demo, plus the original Japanese bonus track of 'Unholy'. Five songs in total clocking in after 25 minutes.

"We as a band celebrate the first decade of BRAINSTORM releases with these re-issues and we hope you guys out there enjoy these albums as much as we still do!

"On another note, a BRAINSTORM DVD is in the works where you can (among tons of other stuff) also see footage from the old days. We hope to release the DVD by the end of June, 2007.

"And to all those asking for a new album. Be cool! A new BRAINSTORM album will be recorded later on this year to be released in early 2008! We will continue our crusade and hope the next decade will be even more successful than the first one!"

Danish power metallers MANTICORA have inked a deal with Locomotive Music for the worldwide release of their sixth full-length album, "The Black Circus, Part 2". The companion CD to last year's "The Black Circus, Part 1 – Letters" will be mixed at the Jailhouse studios in Horsens, Denmark between January 25, 2007 and February 1 with producer Tommy Hansen (HELLOWEEN, TNT, PRETTY MAIDS, FATE). A May/June release is expected.

As previously reported, MANTICORA recently recorded a cover of TANKARD's "Total Addiction" ("a real thrash metal classic!!!" according to the band) for a TANKARD tribute album, to be released later in the year by AFM Records.

The two-album "The Black Circus" concept project tells the story of the horrific perils of a traveling circus in the 19th century.

Legendary German progressive thrash outfit MEKONG DELTA has recruited Leo Szpigiel (ANGEL DUST, CROWS, SCANNER, DUKE) to sing on its upcoming "comeback" album. MEKONG DELTA guitarist Peter Sjöberg (also known as Peter Lake from THEORY IN PRACTICE) recently finished recording the guitar parts for the CD, which is expected to include an adaptation of the classical piece "Allegro" from the 10th symphony by Dimitri Schostakovich. The final vocal arrangements are now being fine-tuned and next week the group will begin laying down the vocal tracks.

MEKONG DELTA's current lineup is completed by drummer Uli Kusch (ex-MASTERPLAN, HELLOWEEN).

Zardoz Music in 2005 released a two-CD, 22-song compilation, entitled "The Principle of Doubt", containing selections from various MEKONG DELTA albums.

Sweden's KATATONIA has issued the following update:

"'July' has been chosen as the third single taken from 'The Great Cold Distance'. Apart from the title track, the single will also feature a brand new/unreleased downhearted affair called 'Unfurl'. There will also be an exclusive remix of 'Soil's Song' done by none other than Swedish artist Krister Linder — highly respected and admired for his work in ENTER THE HUNT, DIVE and various soundtracks/projects. Additionally, a new video has once again been shot and directed by Charlie Granberg and will be included on the physical single. The release dates are February 26th for the digital download and March 26th for the CD single."

According to a posting on KATATONIA's official web site, Fascination Street studio owner and producer Jens Bogren will mix the band's "The Great Cold Distance" album in 5.1 Surround Sound. The effort will be released as a double digipack, with the 5.1 mix on Disc 1 and the original album version plus two bonus tracks ("Displaced" and "Dissolving Bonds") on disc 2. The entire layout has been mirrored to a negative look of the original art to enhance and differentiate the packaging. The release date is set for March 12 via Peaceville Records.

As previously reported, Peaceville has bought rights to the masters of KATATONIA's back catalog previously released on Avantgarde Music and is remastering and reissuing all the full-length albums in digipack format. First up was "Brave Murder Day" (1996), also featuring the "Sounds of Decay" EP (1997) as a bonus, along with revamped artwork and liner notes from the band. Peaceville has also bought the rights to some of the KATATONIA members' sideprojects, including DIABOLICAL MASQUERADE and OCTOBER TIDE, with reissues to follow in the near future.

The cover artwork for MACHINE HEAD's upcoming sixth studio album, "The Blackening", has been posted online at this location. The artwork was created by longtime MACHINE HEAD artist Paul Brown (MARILYN MANSON).

Regarding the cover image, MACHINE HEAD frontman Robert Flynn previously told The Gauntlet, "It's a metal carving from the 1500s. Back then they used a lot of crude metal carving images… almost as propaganda. It was kind of like scaring people about going to hell or whatever. A lot of it had to do with devils and death and stuff like that. They were eventually banned for a while.

"The cover right now is like a skeleton sitting on a throne with his foot on top of the world and he's holding up a mirror and the mirror says 'The mirror which flatters not.'

"The reason we chose that image is that this whole record is like holding up a mirror to ourselves. It's talking about things that are going on now, but it's not necessarily specific to this time.

"There are two songs that have a pretty strong anti-war sentiment, but it's not the type of thing that's just about this war, you know what I mean? It's not necessarily a concept record in that sense, because the songs don't all tie together thematically. There isn't a story being told. I probably would have lost my mind if I would have had to tie all the lyrics together (laughs). It is about holding up a mirror to society."

Tentatively due on March 27 via Roadrunner Records (one day earlier internationally), "The Blackening" was recorded at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA, with MACHINE HEAD frontman Robert Flynn returning to the producer's chair, and Mark Keaton once again handling engineering duties. Longtime MACHINE HEAD collaborator Colin Richardson (CANNIBAL CORPSE, TRIVIUM, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE) mixed the record alongside Flynn in London.

"The Blackening" final track listing:

01. Clenching the Fists of Dissent
02. Beautiful Mourning
03. Aesthetics of Hate
04. Now I Lay Thee Down
05. Slanderous
06. Halo
07. Wolves
08. A Farewell to Arms

Floridian death metal stalwarts DEICIDE were detained today in Innsbruck, Austria for.... bank robbery.

DEICIDE drummer Steve Asheim got up early this morning to make a trip to the bank to deposit some money from merch sales when the bank staff became suspicious of his appearance and the fact that much of the money was marked with red dye. Staff immediately called the police, who swiftly arrived and took the DEICIDE drummer down to the station, suspecting that he had been involved in a recent bank robbery in the area and that he was handling stolen banknotes.

Questioned for a number of hours, Steve explained the banknotes were legitimate proceeds from touring, and that he had a leaky pen in his pocket which was responsible for the money's discoloration.

Innsbruck police were eventually forced to release Steve without further charge.

DEICIDE appear undeterred by the incident and will perform tonight at the Hafen club in Innsbruck as scheduled and continue with the rest of the European tour.

Finnish metallers PAIN CONFESSOR have posted their new single, "Ne Plus Ultra", on their MySpace.

"Purgatory of the Second Sun" was recorded at Fantom studio and is described by the band as "raw and furious. This album has nine songs from which 80% is pretty much all out war and the rest 20% is heavy, like walking to the gallows."

PAIN CONFESSOR's sophomore album, "Fearrage", was released in March 2006 via Megamania. The follow-up to 2004's "Turmoil" was recorded and mixed by Janne Saksa at Studio Sound Supreme and was produced by Janne Saksa and PAIN CONFESSOR.
