MORBID To Release \'Year Of The Goat\' In AprilSwedish cult act MORBID has teamed up with Century Media Records to release "Year Of The Goat" — a 100 percent official vinyl and CD offering covering the seminal band's first demo, "December Moon", live and rehearsal recordings — on April 4 in Europe.
"Year Of The Goat" will be available as ultra deluxe triple-gatefold LP with three 180g vinyls, printed inner sleeves and slipcase as well as deluxe kingsize 2CD mediabook in a slipcase packaging. All material has been collected and compiled by Dr. Schitz in cooperation with Napoleon Pukes, Drutten, Klacke and TG and also features liner notes by Daniel Ekeroth (author of "Swedish Death Metal") along with an in-depth interview by Metalion (taken from the final issue of Slayer magazine). Rounded off with cover artwork and entire layout being done by Erik Danielsson (WATAIN), "Year Of The Goat" is the first comprehensive MORBID release that truly honors the band's musical legacy and memory of legendary vocalist Dead — also renowned for his time in Norwegian black metal act MAYHEM — who committed suicide on April 8, 1991.
Dr. Schitz states in his interview with Metalion (Slayer magazine): "I would have been quite content if MORBID would have remained in utter obscurity, but the Norns wanted otherwise and who am I to argue with them? Seeing all the bootlegs (over 35 last time I counted, and they keep coming) and interest in MORBID we decided that it would be proper to bring some closure to it all by doing a final, ultimate release. Not to cash in; on the contrary, as we have decided to not make any profit but rather donate the proceeds to worthy causes. Of course, also to pay respect to our fans, to the memory of Dead, and to whatever we shared back then. I am very pleased and proud that just about all the old members have actively been involved in the production, without a trace of ego-bullshit. We have spared no efforts in making the very best we could. It should prove to be utterly essential to any fan of MORBID (and Dead)!" 9

MARILLION - Video Trailer zur neuen Live CD/DVD online!Hier könnt Ihr euch den Video Trailer zur neuen MARILLION Live CD/DVD "Live At Cadogan Hall" ansehen. In den Handel kommt die CD/DVD am 18. Februar 2011 via earMUSIC/Edel.
Die britische Rockband Marillion macht seit nunmehr über 30 Jahren ihre Fangemeinde mit außergewöhnlicher Musik glücklich. Und die dadurch entstehende einzigartige Verbindung zwischen Künstler und Publikum ist auch bei dem Auftritt der Briten am 07. September 2009 in der Cadogan Hall in London zu spüren. Nun ist es auch den Daheimgebliebenen möglich, das besondere Hör- und Sehvergnügen auf CD, DVD und Blu-ray in bester Bild- und Tonqualität zu genießen.
Dem charismatischen Leadsänger Steve Hogarth sieht man an, dass er all seine Energie, all seine Kraft, all sein Herz in die Auftritte der Band steckt. Auch wenn er erst später zu der Gruppe stieß, ergänzt er die Originalbesetzung der Gruppe bestehend aus Gitarrist Steve Rothery, Keyboarder Mark Kelly, Bassist Pete Trewavas und Drummer Ian Mosley - auf seine ganz eigene Art und Weise. So gelangen Marillion im September 2009 eindrucksvolle Performances ihrer Lieder. Darunter sind Highlights des 2009 bei EDEL Germany earMUSIC veröffentlichten Studio-Albums "Less Is More" wie "Interior Lulu", "It's Not Your Fault" und "If My Heart Were A Ball" zu finden. Diese werden im ersten Teil des Auftritts in der Cadogan Hall in London performt. Am zweiten Teil des Abends präsentieren die Briten heißgeliebte Klassiker auf eine ebenso neue wie emotionale Art. So kam das Publikum unter anderem in den Genuss von "80 Days", "Easter und "Youre Gone".
In einem außergewöhnlichen Ambiente, ein in rotes Licht getauchter Saal, fangen neun Kameras jede Regung, jedes Gefühl und jeden perfekt getroffenen Ton der Performance aller Bandmitglieder in 5.1 Surround und Stereo Sound ein. Die Blu-ray-Version bietet darüber hinaus noch einen nie zuvor veröffentlichten Song, das komplette Studio-Album "Less Is More" ist ausgezeichneter Tonqualität sowie ein weiteres Highlight für Fans und solche, die es werden wollen: die Racket Television Series. Marillion beweisen nicht zum ersten Mal, dass sie sich immer wieder neu erfinden können - und das auf eine mehr als gelungene Art und Weise.

BONAFIDE: \'No Doubt About It\' Video Released"No Doubt About It", the brand new video from Swedish hard rockers BONAFIDE, can be viewed below. The song comes off the band's new EP, "Fill Your Head With Rock - Old, New, Tried & True", which will be released on January 28 via Black Lodge/Sound Pollution. The band states, "[We] decided to go for a EP instead of the ordinary radio single format this time around. The reasons were many, but first and foremost it shows a band vitalized by the addition of drummer Niklas Matsson (RAGING SLAB, BACKDRAFT), and what better way to introduce a new member than to buy some studio time and record a couple of favorite tracks live in the studio! 2

KISS To Release New Studio Album This YearLegendary rockers KISS are planning on entering the studio in March to begin recording their new studio album for a late 2011 release. During an interview with BackstageAxxess.com that was conducted during this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer said, "The great news is that we are going in the studio again in the next month or two. We are starting to work on writing some songs, [and we will] approach it just like we did with [2009's] 'Sonic Boom' and keep it all in the band in terms of the writing, with no agenda besides writing great rock and roll songs that we love, then rehearsing them before recording them. It really felt good to us so we'll go the same way this time."
KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley will once again produce the new effort after things went so smoothly on "Sonic Boom". "Paul knows more what a KISS record should sound like than anybody, to be honest with you, so he is going to lead the charge and produce it again and we are all really excited about it," Thayer said.
He added, "I know we are going to start working on it really soon in terms of the writing and rehearsing and we'll probably be in the studio by March, so sometime this year I'm sure you'll see a spanking new KISS album that's gonna kick some butt!"
"Sonic Boom" sold 108,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. This marked the band's highest-charting LP ever. 30
