Danish/American hard rockers ROYAL HUNT have posted two songs ("Can't Let Go" and "Far Away") from their upcoming double live album, "Royal Hunt 2006", in the "Media" section of their official web site.

Due on November 22, "Royal Hunt 2006" was recorded (and filmed) on the historic stage of St. Petersburg, Russia's Music Hall on November 2, 2005. The show, which was witnessed by some 1,500+ enthusiastic fans, lasted about two hours (the band played a wide selection of songs from all of their releases since 1991 and some tracks from the latest CD, "Paper Blood") and was captured by six cameras. The upcoming DVD package — the release details for which have not yet been revealed — will also include some backstage/pre-production footage as well as interviews with all the bandmembes and their roadcrew. All mixing duties on the double CD were handled by André Andersen at NorthPoint Productions in Copenhagen. The set was mastered by Jan Eliasson at Audio Planet.

ROYAL HUNT's last album, "Paper Blood" was recorded at NorthPoint Productions and was mixed at EMI/Medley Studio with André Andersen (keyboards) and Lars Overgaard behind the board.

Swedish/Greek melodic death metal outfit NIGHTRAGE has announced the addition of drummer Alex Svenningson (ex-MINDFALL) to the group's ranks. "He came in the studio and he really nailed down our songs," stated Marios Ilipoulos, NIGHTRAGE guitarist/songwriter. "He is a great guy and a suberb musician."

Check out a short video clip of Alex in rehearsal performing the song "Being Nothing".

In other news, NIGHTRAGE has announced that Olof Mörck will be the session guitar player for the band's upcoming VADER tour. "He is playing also with DRAGONLAND and he is a truly amazing guitar player," said Ilipoulos.

NIGHTRAGE will enter Hansen studios in Ribe, Denmark on November 28 to begin recording its new album, tentatively due in early 2007 via Lifeforce Records. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Spiral", "Reconcile" and "Scathing". "We are pretty satisfied with the material and we are looking forward to go to the studio and make a killer album," said Marios.

Drummer Shaun Steels has left U.K. doom metal band MY DYING BRIDE. "His continuing illness shows no sign of abating and he feels the uncertaintly could be having a negative affect on his relationship with the bandmembers," reads a posting on the group's web site.

Shaun Steels has issued the following statement regarding his departure from the group:

"I would just like to salute MY DYING BRIDE for the good times and wish them all well in the future, I feel I am not ready to fulfill the duties in a manner befitting MY DYING BRIDE at this time and have decided to stand down. I am sad to be leaving but at this time I feel it is for the greater good of the band."

Peaceville/Snapper Music has set an October 31 U.S. release date for "A Line of Deathless Kings", the new album from MY DYING BRIDE. It is the band's ninth studio effort and introduces drummer John Bennett.

"A Line of Deathless Kings" reunites the six-piece with long-time collaborator/producer Mags (who recorded the bands initial compositions). Mixed at The Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire and mastered at famed Abbey Road Studios in London, it is a highly anticipated return for a pioneering band.

Denmark's self-professed "fusion future metal" band MNEMIC has set "Passenger" as the title of its upcoming third studio album, which is scheduled for release in Europe on February 2 and in North America on February 6 via Nuclear Blast Records.

In regards to the potent lyrical content, MNEMIC guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie states: "It's thematically built around the meaning of existence, or in other words, the philosophy of Existentialism. There are several philosophical positions — one of them being the value and meaning of the world around the individual, and the other is that Existentialism is often associated with anxiety, dread, awareness of death, and freedom.

"We chose this subject and theme mainly because it's so vast, and second, because we have always been big fans of Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' movie. We wanted to do something like that, just with music and lyrics."

Produced by MNEMIC, FEAR FACTORY's Christian Olde Wolbers, and Warren Riker (DOWN, CROWBAR, THE FUGEES) at Track Record Studios (KISS, MEGADETH, AEROSMITH) in Los Angeles and mixed by fellow Dane Tue Madsen (HALFORD, THE HAUNTED) at Antfarm Studios in Denmark, "Passenger" will feature guest vocal appearances by Jeff Walker (CARCASS, BRUJERIA) and Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH, BRUJERIA) and artwork by Asterik Studios (ANTHRAX, UNEARTH).

The tracklisting for "Passenger" is as follows:

01. Humanaut
02. In The Nothingness Black
03. Meaningless
04. Psykorgasm
05. Pigfuck
06. In Control
07. Electric I'd Hypocrisy
08. Stuck Here
09. What's Left
10. Shape Of The Formless
11. The Eye On Your Back
12. Zero Synchronized (Japanese bonus track)

MNEMIC is currently preparing to shoot a video for "Meaningless" at Revolver Studios in Gothenberg, Sweden with Revolver Film director Patric Ullaeus. The band's new lead vocalist, Guillaume Bideau (ex-SCARVE), will make his live North American debut on the upcoming tour with labelmates SOILWORK and THREAT SIGNAL plus DARKEST HOUR.

The single will be released on November 14 (the day of MAIDEN's sold-out show at Helsinki's Hartwall Arena in Finland) though this is likely to be a U.S. release date. Europe is expected to receive the single at least a day earlier. Speculation exists that some of the cover songs recorded during the album sessions could surface as B-sides, including "Tush" (ZZ TOP), "Angel of Death" (THIN LIZZY), "Space Truckin'" (DEEP PURPLE) and "Hocus Pocus" (FOCUS).

"A Matter of Life and Death" has sold 89,000 copies in the United States since its Sept. 5 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The band has since announced that it will continue with a new vocalist and is currently accepting submissions from female singers.

After three long years, vocalist Dario Grillo and his previous band THY MAJESTIE have rejoined forces and are working on the group's new album. A 2007 release is expected.

THY MAJESTIE parted ways with vocalist Giulio Di Gregorio (IRENCROS) earlier in teh year due to "personal reasons." The band's latest album, "Jean D'Arc", was released last fall via Scarlet Records. The follow-up to 2002's "Hastings 1066" was mastered at The Mastering Room in Sweden by Goran Finnberg.

In related news, Dario Grillo is continuing work on the new album from the Italian gothic-power metal band VIOLET SUN, led by the soprano Alessandra Amata. The group's musicial style is being described as a mixture of EVANESCENCE, NIGHTWISH, KOVENANT and LACUNA COIL.

Norway's FRANTIC BLEEP is currently working on the follow-up to its critically acclaimed debut, "The Sense Apparatus". The band will enter the studio in a few weeks to finish some guitar overdubs; the bass tracks will be recorded soon after. They will also start working on pre-producing the vocals.

FRANTIC BLEEP lineup:

• Patrick Scantlebury - Guitars
  
• Lars Gunnar Morastseter - Guitars

Canadian metallers THREAT SIGNAL have announced the addition of bassist Pat from Pickering, Ontario to the group's ranks. Check out photos of the new lineup at this location.

As previously reported, THREAT SIGNAL recently posted a self-produced video for the song "Counterbalance" at YouTube.com. The clip features footage of the band on the road, in the studio with producer Christian Olde Wolbers of FEAR FACTORY, snippets from the "Rational Eyes" production video shoot, and plenty of live footage from North American shows as well as the band's recent appearance at Germany's Earthshaker Fest.

THREAT SIGNAL will hit the road in October 5 for a five-week North American tour supporting SOILWORK, DARKEST HOUR and MNEMIC, sponsored by Decibel magazine. "I've always been a huge fan of SOILWORK, and our band is actually influenced by SOILWORK," admits vocalist Jon Howard. "I must have seen that band perform at least five times last year, and every show I was wishing we could open for them. Now we are."

Anglo-Italian melodic power metal band POWER QUEST has set "Master of Illusion" as the title of its fourth album, which the group plans to record next spring. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Hearts and Voices", "The Vigil", "The Right Place and the Wrong Time", "Count My Sins" and "The Tragedy Suite".

Plans are underway for deluxe two disc reissues of the first two POWER QUEST albums, "Wings of Forever" (2002) and "Neverworld" (2003), via Majestic Rock Records. The Anglo-Italian melodic power metal band is currently compiling material for the releases, which will include a second DVD disc that will contain relevant footage to each album. The albums will be remastered and are tentatively due in November.

Norwegian melodic metallers THUNDERBOLT have announced the addition of former WHERE ANGELS FALL drummer Ole Kristian Løvberg to the group's ranks. Løvberg joins the band as the replacement for Vegard Waske, who has left THUNDERBOLT earlier in the month "due to an extremely heavy workload over the past years."

THUNDERBOLT's sophomore album, "Love and Destruction", was released in May via Massacre Records. The band recently supported KING DIAMOND on a European tour and played shows opening for ex-IRON MAIDEN singer Paul Di'Anno and ex-BLACK SABBATH frontman Tony Martin.

THUNDERBOLT's debut album, "Demons and Diamonds", was issued in 2003 via Massacre Records.

Yorkshire doom-death metallers THE PROPHECY have issued the following update:

"After a long hard graft recording it (cascades has 32 different channels!!!!!) over the last two and a half years and some gruelling late 3am mixing sessions THE PROPHECY's new studio album, 'Revelations', has finally been sent off for mastering. This should take around one to two weeks and then we need to get it reproduced.

"The album was started in February 2004 when we did the first pre-productions after writing the songs after the Doomination of Europe in 2003 and we actually aired a few of the songs on the Doomination of America tour and the subsequent Unholy Trinity tour with MY DYING BRIDE.

"Tracking started in September [2004] with John [Bennett] laying down the drum tracks prior to us playing Bloodstock 04 and then going off to headline the Doomination of Europe 2004 with Aussie Firebox band THE ETERNAL. It was then things took a turn for the worse with Christian Moore-Wainwright [guitar] leaving the band followed swiftly by William Castledine. This caused almost five months of delay leaving Greg [O'Shea] to start work on guitars in March 2005. However, with the return of Katie Colbrook to the fold, keyboards were swiftly recorded and work then began on vocals in July. But due to problems at Performance Studios, work was again set back months as the studio closed and then eventually relocated to new premises in Leeds. It wasn't until the following year that work could recommence. Stuck in this limbo the band finally managed to recruit a bass player. Trad doom band TEFRA's Gav Parkinson joined up in the summer of 2005 just in time for the Mist of Death tour giving him plenty of time to record bass.

"So 'Revelations' is a project we have lived with for some time. In fact, it seems like the end of an era for us and it'll be weird not having to fret about when it's going to be ready for release.

"We are currently in negotiation with a number of record labels about the release of the album and hope to have an announcement soon!!!!"

Canadian rock legends RUSH will be co-producing their new studio album for Anthem Records with Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, STONE SOUR, SHADOWS FALL). The American producer will be flying up to Toronto next week to meet with the band, which is in the demo phase right now.

"It's early stages. We have nine songs written so far," says guitarist Alex Lifeson. "We're going to continue until we have about 12 songs and finish up preproduction at the end of October, so we'll be really well prepared and then go in the studio in November and start recording."

That way of working is a little different for Lifeson, singer/bassist/keyboardist Geddy Lee and drummer/lyricist Neil Peart, who usually write in the studio and record at the same time.

"This time around, we wanted to write, we wanted to rehearse the material, we wanted to get really inside it before we actually recorded it," explains Lifeson. "We're not spending a lot of time on sound or getting too involved in the recording."

Lifeson and Lee started working "very casually" together through the early part of this year, and Peart sent some lyrics to them. In May, they spent a month in a downtown studio "building things, doing some more writing, doing some pre-production, getting Neil involved, drumming, and then we just went back in about a week and a half ago."

CAAMORA is the name of the latest Clive Nolan project. It is a collaboration between Clive and Agneiszka Swita, a lady from Poland of whom all information seems classified up till now (the official CAAMORA homepage lists a big '?' as her biography).

The two are working on a project called "She". The musical version of "She" is based on the classic novel of the same name by Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. Spearheaded by Clive and Agneiszka, this epic production will feature guest vocalists, instrumentalists, orchestra and choir, forming a two-hour musical journey. An album will be recorded in the summer of 2007, with a partly staged performance to be filmed in a theatre for DVD in September 2007. The album and DVD box set is planned for release in October 2007.

The Story: Two explorers travel to Africa and stumble into a world of mystery and intrigue. They discover lost tribes living in vast underground caverns and worshipping a living Goddess... 'She who must be obeyed'... Ayesha, the queen who is believed to be a woman of vast age. She welcomes the explorers, but her true motives soon become apparent. Ayesha has been waiting for the return of the man she loves... a man she murdered over 2000 years ago!
The two are currently looking for guest vocalists and musicians for their project. Bob Catley of MAGNUM has already been muted for one of the two male roles.

As a taster Nolan and Swita will be doing some performances as support act of GALAHAD. They will also be releasing a special EP which will be available at these gigs and through the website:

1. Half Moon Street (reworking of a SHADOWLAND song)
2. World Somewhere (written for the upcoming "She" project)
3. Sacrifice (new orchestrated version of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN track)
4. The Bonding (written for the upcoming "She" project)
5. Closer (track especially written for this EP)

In an interview with Sweden's Close-Up magazine, W.A.S.P. mainman Blackie Lawless revealed that the band's new album, "Dominator", has had its projected release date pushed back to January 2007 from the previously announced November 13 (Europe) / November 21 (U.S.).

As previously reported, a video interview with W.A.S.P. guitarist Doug Blair, conducted on Friday, September 22 in Oulu, Finland, has been posted online at this location. A number of photos from W.A.S.P.'s gig at the Teatria Club in Oulu have been posted online at www.mesta.net. Support at the show came from TAROT, featuring NIGHTWISH bassist Marco Hietala.

A video clip of MEGADETH performing a new song, entitled "Washington Is Next!", in Toronto, Ontario on Monday, September 25 has been posted online at YouTube.com.

"Washington Is Next!" will be included on MEGADETH's upcoming CD, "United Abominations", which is scheduled for release in early 2007 via Roadrunner Records. MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine recently told Gary Graff of Billboard.com that the album, which he's producing with Jeff Balding, "has a lot of variation on it. It's got some surprises, but there's a really old-school vein to it, I would say." The group has been careful not to rush the album, either, holding sessions in London, Los Angeles and Nashville since earlier this year.

To mark their 11th anniversary ARENA will be releasing a 'best of' compilation at the end of October. Tracklist is not known yet, but the band promises to include some interesting and newly recorded material, like the song "Empire Of A Thousand Days" off "Pride" which will be re-recorded with current singer Rob Sowden.

Meanwhile the band is back in the studio, working on the follow-up to last year's "Pepper's Ghost". Clive Nolan says the following:

"it's a slow proccess, but it has started. I've got a handful of ideas, and we'll be meeting up soon for a writing session. We're not in a hurry for this seventh studio album... we'll just see how it goes."

Former MARDUK vocalist Legion (a.k.a. Erik Hagsted) has issued the following update on his ELIZIUM project (formerly REBELANGELS), which also features ex-MARDUK bassist B.War (a.k.a. Roger "Bogge" Svensson):

"First off, we have a lineup change. Our guitarist Jimmy Larsen is no longer in our ranks, which sucks since the guy is awesome, but we all agreed that it was all for the best since he has not enough time to make it work and he rather see us getting somewhere than feeling like a break pad that cannot fully commit. The decision is mutual and we still remain good friends and we wish him all the best for the future.

"Secondly, we changed the name from the original REBELANGELS to ELIZIUM since our music now has nothing to do with what was going on when this project was put together.

"The REBELANGELS was a journey that was really cool to do and for me absolutely necessary since I as a completely dedicated black metal nerd missed out on most other music during the Nineties, which cornered the shit out of me. Just embracing and absorbing so many new sounds was what was really needed to come full circle and have fun with the music again. Nevertheless, the only thing that sounded right and together in the rehearsal room was the kind of sounds I've been doing for the last fifteen years, and at the end of the day, the hunger to keep on doing extreme metal was there again and now we are on the prowl for real and we are loving it!!

"We have now added two songs from the first recording as ELIZIUM [on our MySpace page] and this is the sound we are going to keep building on. Some more developed and complex songs are underway. I am currently working on two titles, called 'Gemini is the Snake' and 'Lizardking', that has the Scandinavian black metal touch but crossed over with RUSH and VOIVOD and it really sounds promising!

"The circle is closed and we find ourselves back where we left off, with a new appetite to make some evil sounding heavy noise!

"Hope you'll like the tracks. We are really satisfied with the way things are going and the lust to raise hell is as strong as ever before!"

ELIZIUM is:

Legion (a.k.a. Erik Hagsted) - Vocals
B.War (a.k.a. Roger "Bogge" Svensson) - Bass
Marcus Lundberg - Rhythm Gutar
Jonas Mattson – Lead Guitar
Emil Dragutinovic (MARDUK, THE LEGION) - Drums

For 20 years already the one man project Suicide Commando has been going very strong in the international electro industrial scene. Having achieved a cult status Johan Van Roy's brainchild has been bombing us over all these years with numerous clubhits like "See you in hell", "Hellraiser", "Love breeds suicide", "Cause of death: suicide", "Dein herz, meine gier", "Face of death", "Bind torture kill" ... to name just a few. It made the band to be considered the leader and example of today's endzeit EBM scene. To celebrate this unique anniversary Suicide Commando will release a special limited boxset, with the working title "X20". In this special sized box you will find 3 discs, a booklet including unique photomaterial of the band and a special surprise. The 3 disc set will include a live dvd featuring different live recordings to be recorded in Dresden and/or Berlin in October. Add to that a special remix cd featuring remixes by some of the biggest names in the scene, and a "best of" cd. This must have anniversary boxset is planned for a release in early 2007. Next to the box Suicide Commando is also planning a special anniversary event at the KulturFabrik in Krefeld (Germany). Originally planned for December 2nd, due to organisational reasons the event is now delayed untill early 2007.

A trailer for NINE INCH NAILS' upcoming DVD has been posted online at this location (Quicktime required). The footage for the set is believed to have been shot at several performances in late March 2006, including the March 28 show at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the March 30 concert at the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas. The disc, called "Nine Inch Nails Live: Beside You In Time", will be out early next year. No information is available yet about bonus features, but it has been reported that the disc will be available in the new high-definition HD-DVD and Blu-ray formats in addition to standard DVD.

NINE INCH NAILS is reportedly working on material for its next album. Band leader Trent Reznor is said to be writing songs with an eye toward releasing a new disc sometime next year, although there's been no official confirmation of those plans.

The next NINE INCH NAILS album will follow 2005's "With Teeth", which was the group's first collection of new material in six years.

Finnish melodic metallers SONATA ARCTICA have commenced the songwriting process for their follow-up to 2004's "Reckoning Night". A rehearsal "diary" detailing the band's progress has been launched via the group's official web site at this location.
