THERION: Tour Schedules Changes Announced

THERION: Tour Schedules Changes Announced

Swedish progressive/experimental metallers THERION have issued the following update:

"The tour schedule has changed: The shows in Caracas (Venezuela), Chihuahua and Puebla (both Mexico) have to be cancelled and the show in Santiago de Chile has moved to the Teatro Caupolican. In Europe there will be an additional show — on the 11th of December THERION will play in Istanbul, at Refresh the Venue (which is really named like that).

"We are very sad to announce that the shows in Chihuahua and Puebla in Mexico have been cancelled. The situation with the drug cartels is becoming worse and worse in the north and the local authorities strongly advise against playing concerts in Chihuahua (and, of course, Monterray which also has been rumored we would be playing), so the national promoter in Mexico has decided to cancel Chihuahua as the safety of the band, crew and fans cannot be guaranteed at this point. The Puebla festival has also been cancelled due to some sort of drug cartel-related civil unrest problems. There seems to be no risk for the remaining shows in Mexico and the band hope that there will be other shows to replace the cancelled ones in other parts of the country.

"Seems like the world is going crazy at the moment, as the Caracas show in Venezuela will be cancelled as well. Local promoter is having economic problems and didn't want to risk fucking everything up from what I've heard. So better to cancel and try to replace it with another show in some other country than to risk standing there with thousands of fans buying tickets and maybe making a long journey from another city just to end up with no show happening.

"We hope we will be able to do Venezuela some time in the future; we were really looking forward to playing there."

MAX CAVALERA Says It Would Be \

MAX CAVALERA Says It Would Be \'Cool\' For Classic SEPULTURA Lineup To Reunite

Mike Meyer of the Phoenix New Times recently conducted an interview with SOULDLY/CAVALERA CONSPIRACY mainman Max Cavalera. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Phoenix New Times: As the lead singer and primary songwriter for two bands, how does your songwriting process work? Do you sit down with the intention of writing a song specifically for SOULFLY or CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, or do you just write songs and decide later which group they're for?

Max: I write the songs without knowing which band they're for. I just write the songs first. Later on, when I listen to it back, when I'm choosing the songs for the albums, that's when I pick — "Okay, this one goes for SOULFLY, this one goes for CAVALERA CONSPIRACY" — and that seems to work out better. That way I just write nonstop. It doesn't stop my pattern of thought on the writing. I keep writing nonstop. I've got a lot of songs I have not recorded yet. I just write all the time. I'm not one of those guys that writes just for the album. I write all the time, even when I don't have to. I love to just sit down with the guitar and write riffs. It's one of my favorite things to do. I've got tons and tons of songs that I haven't used yet, that I'm gonna use for the next [album] or the one after that. I kind of just listen to them later and then pick and choose which one's gonna go to which.

Phoenix New Times: Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of SEPULTURA's debut album, "Morbid Visions". You're probably sick to death of this question, but will we ever see a reunion of the original lineup?

Max: That's something I don't know. That's a hard one. A lot of people ask me that, and sometimes I feel optimistic. I convinced Igor [Max's brother and former SEPULTURA drummer Igor Cavalera] to do it, 'cause he didn't want to have anything to do with those guys [bassist Paulo Jr. and guitarist Andreas Kisser] ever again. I convinced him to do it for me, and he said he'd do it for me if that was the case, but the other two guys, it's kinda hard. They're still trapped in an old mindset, so it's just something that's gonna have to wait. I mean, it would have been cool to do it next year. There's a lot of cool offers for us around the world. People want to see that reunion, so I just kinda wait and see. In the meantime, I'm super busy with both bands. SOULFLY is going to Israel and China and Australia next month, and I'm going to Brazil with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY for a huge festival in Sao Paulo. So I'm pretty busy with both bands anyway, so I just kinda wait. If that happens, it's cool. If it doesn't, it's still cool. I'm busy anyway.

TARJA - \"I Hope You’ll Love What Lies Beneath As Much As I Do\"

Former NIGHTWISH singer TARJA TURUNEN has issued the following update:

"The summer shows are over and it’s time to relax a bit and wait anxiously the album release.

"Thank you guys for the great summer! We had a blast. I also want to thank you all who sent me birthday greetings and presents on my birthday. I just wish you to know that the best gift is knowing that you are there. I am working on the album promotion at the moment at home in Buenos Aires. Even though there is a lot of work to be done, it feels so nice to be in one place for a longer period!

Also it gives me a chance to get myself in good condition for the tours that are ahead of me. Actually I can’t wait for them to begin already! But first comes first; the new album. Next week is the time I have been waiting for many long months.

Finland will break the ice on September 1st followed by Germany, Austria and Switzerland on the 3rd. All the rest will wait until 6th, but I know there are always some countries that will not make it in time. US will finally have the album available on September 14th of.

So next couple of weeks will be a lot of fun… I hope you’ll love What Lies Beneath as much as I do. Thank you all for your support!! See you soon on tour!"

ZAO Working On New Material

ZAO Working On New Material

Influential Greensburg, Pennsylvania-based heavy music act ZAO has commenced work on material for its next studio album, which the band plans on releasing through its own label. The group explains, "The music industry has made enough money off of bands and wasted it. Why not put it out ourselves and sink the 'profits' back into future releases?"

Regarding the progress of the songwriting sessions for the next CD, ZAO states, "We are writing, we have been exchanging songs. We have tossed songs that are 'too standard for ZAO,' we are trying new things. It's liberating. We are doing our best to get Russ [Cogdell, guitar] on the album (as we tried with [2009's] 'Awake?'). Needless to say, we are taking our time because we can.

"So as of right now, ZAO is writing, self-managing and planning on self-releasing."

"Awake?", the latest album from ZAO, sold around 2,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 19 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

AGAINST THE PLAGUES Working On New Material

Chicago based multinational extreme-metal act AGAINST THE PLAGUES has commenced the songwriting process for its as-yet-untitled second album.

Commented co-founder Varyen Chylinski: "We have six songs almost finished and another two in progress. Next month we will start recording them as a pre-production material and as soon as we have them ready we will expose some of them on our website.

"We are working with new music in our practice room in Chicago and as I see after several rehearsals, new songs are much more faster and extreme than the previous album, 'Decoding The Mainframe'.

"New AGAINST THE PLAGUES material has a lot of absolutely amazing riffs and 'inhuman' blast beats which is completely new chapter for the band.

"All of our hard dying fans who were waiting for new music from our camp so long will be delighted, I guarantee that! Also we decided to invite few special guests to make this material even more unique. It will be big surprise for all of you!"

"Great Are The Eyed", the first official video from AGAINST THE PLAGUES, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed in February in Miami with directors Eduardo and Gregg Alvarez from Elephas Productions. The song comes off AGAINST THE PLAGUES' debut album, "Decoding The Mainframe", which was released in Europe on March 31 via Vic Records.

THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX Signs With SEASON OF MIST

THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX Signs With SEASON OF MIST

THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX — the Swedish band featuring Jörgen Sandström (vocals; VICIOUS ART, KRUX, ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE), Lord K. Philipson (guitar; TORTURE DIVISION, ex-GOD AMONG INSECTS, HOUSE OF USHER, LEUKEMIA), Anders Bertilsson (guitar; COLDWORKER), Tobben Gustafsson (drums; TORTURE DIVISION, VOMITORY) and Portuguese vocalist Ms. Roque (a.k.a. Ruby Roque of WITCHBREED) — has inked a deal with Season of Mist. The band's seventh album will contain six songs with a running time of over 60 minutes and is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2011. The CD will be mixed and mastered by Swedish producer and multi-intrumentalist Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH, NIGHTINGALE).

Commented Lord K. Philipson: "Obviously there's a label in this world realizing there's some fuckin' potential in what we do, being ready to take the risk in today's illegal downloading dilemma, meaning they want to release the next album of THE PROJECT HATE MCMXCIX.

"The fact that there are still record companies around who try their hardest to get the best music out there absolutely astonishes me.

"To be able to do this album with a worldwide distribution, through a label who absolutely seem to know what they are doing, feels great.

"In the little time I have been in touch with the people of this label I have seen more professionalism than during my entire career. That says a lot. We can now concentrate on delivering the best damned recording we have ever done and leave the rest of the business to the record company in question.

"To be on the same roster as quality bands like MORBID ANGEL, WATAIN, MAYHEM and CYNIC feels great. And to know that this disc will see the physical light of day is exactly how we want it to be.

"We want the whole package to be more than a thing on your monitor, and hopefully a lot of you guys feel the same — meaning you will buy a real copy of it in these times of digital theft being the new black."

SERENITY Bassist Quits

SERENITY Bassist Quits

Bassist Simon Holzknecht has left Austrian symphonic melodic metallers SERENITY due to personal reasons.

Commented the band: "Within the last couple of years Simon was a constant and important part within the band and his bass playing completed our releases (2007's 'Words Untold & Dreams Unlived', 2008's 'Fallen Sanctuary') as well as our live performances.

"We have a lot of great memories to share from our weeks and weeks on tour, in studio, rehearsing or simply having fun with each other.

"We know how much effort and idealism is needed for a band such as SERENITY and so we fully understand and back up his decision. Of course, we wish him the best for his future career — no matter in which direction it may lead.

"Simon stated that he will not join another band immediately — what the future holds... we will see (or better hear)."

Added SERENITY: "Be assured that this will have absolutely no effect on our upcoming release or our live gigs! Bass guitars for our upcoming release, 'Death & Legacy', were already recorded by Tom Buchberger (guitar, songwriting).

"And here are the good news! Fabio D'Amore (PATHOSRAY, FAIRYLAND) will join SERENITY for all future live performances starting with our ProgPower Europe gig on the 1st of October 2010.

"Fabio plays in several bands and runs his own studio in Verona, Italy. The fact that his other bands only perform some single shows a year made it quite easy to get him on board our battleship cruiser. He is fully addicted to music and we are looking forward to a whole lot of new touring experiences as well as gorgeous 'Austrian-English-Italian-translations' (this will be pain in the ass ;-))!

"If Fabio will become a full SERENITY member is a decision to be made by all of us in the future to come."

Former METAL CHURCH Bassist Arrested For Allegedly Running Pot-Growing Operation

Former METAL CHURCH Bassist Arrested For Allegedly Running Pot-Growing Operation

According to The News Tribune, Stephen Wesley Ungerbuehler — who was known as Steve Unger (MySpace page) when he played bass for METAL CHURCH from 2004 to 2009 — was arrested Monday (August 23) for allegedly leading a three-county marijuana-growing operation in the Washington state. He was charged Wednesday with leading organized crime, unlawfully manufacturing a controlled substance and money laundering. Pleas of not guilty were entered on his behalf.

He's being held in Pierce County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Ungerbuehler's attorney, Jay Berneburg, told The News Tribune his client "adamantly denies" the allegations against him. Berneburg said Ungerbuehler is a professional musician who travels and has earned his money legitimately through record sales, concerts and other contracts.

"This is another case of the war on drugs run amok," Berneburg said.

DANGEROUS TOYS Reunion Footage; Unreleased BEATALLICA Song Posted

Twin Cities Metal has posted several videos from DANGEROUS TOYS' recent one-off reunion show with BEATALLICA in Fridley, Minnesota on July 30 alongside pictures and a review of the show. Included are the classic Dangerous Toys numbers 'Sport'n A Woody', 'Gimme No Lip', 'Bones In The Gutter', and the hit single 'Scared' (see video below). Also captured is Beatallica playing the unreleased track 'Please Please Me (Or I'll Beat You)' (see video below), which the band announced has been prevented from release by lawyers, presumably by those representing the Beatles due to objectionable lyrical content. Additional Beatallica videos posted from this show include 'Hero Of The Day Tripper', 'Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band', and 'The Battery Of Jamyz And Yoko'.

Vocalist Jason McMaster will hit the road again with his other main band, BROKEN TEETH, for a string a dates across the US, and Beatallica has announced another round of US dates for their Masterful Mystery Tour late this fall.

LIV KRISTINE: Audio Samples Of Four Solo Tracks Posted Online

LIV KRISTINE: Audio Samples Of Four Solo Tracks Posted Online

Audio samples of four tracks ("Twofold", "Train to Somewhere", "The Rarest Flower" and "Love in Grey") from "Skintight", the new solo album from the Norwegian singer Liv Kristine (LEAVES' EYES, ex-THEATRE OF TRAGEDY), can be streamed on her MySpace page.

Kristine's track-by-track descriptions of the songs:

"Twofold":

"This is one of my own faves on 'Skintight'. My co-composer, Thorsten Bauer, left this guitar idea 'open' on our recording folder one late night about one and a half years ago, this being one of the first demo tracks written for the album. As I heard it, Johnny Cash immediately came into my mind — his honest and calm face, and his warm voice and excellent guitar tunes. I thought [to] myself, 'This is going to be a song about honesty, trust, and deep feelings,' moreover, 'the fear of being left alone.' I would like to dedicate this song to all Cash fans and friends in memory of one of the still brightest shining stars in music heaven ever. And least but last, thank you, Thorsten, for your 'spicy' solo — it is breathtaking!"

"Train to Somewhere":

"This is more of an up-beat rock song which has a quite different mood than most other songs on 'Skintight'. If you liked the title track, you will enjoy this one, too! The lyrics are based on a personal experience I had back in 1998: My best friend and I jumped on the next train to Prague, just like that, because all lessons had been cancelled at the university that day, and we had a fantastic trip! 'Train to Somewhere' is the perfect song to start your day off, leaving stress and hard work at a distance; the sun is shining, your friends are waiting, the world is yours! Just catch the next train to 'somewhere' — forget your sorrows, and have a wonderful time!"

"The Rarest Flower":

"'The Rarest Flower' is the final song of the album, and my friends and fans who have already heard it have told me that it goes immediately under your skin, and stays there. It is longer than all other tracks on 'Skintight' and based on only the piano and the cello. As our great friend and guest piano player, Oliver Palotai, added his personal note on this song by playing and recording our demo idea one afternoon, I really felt that this is a true musical pearl. Only one 'spice' was missing: Christoph Kutzer and his amazing cello solo! The vocals were recorded in only ONE complete go, to be able to underline the direct and intense emotional expression throughout the whole song. I owe a great thank you to Tori Amos, who gave me this brilliant idea."

"Love in Grey":

"'Love in Grey' is based on one of Thorsten Bauer's brilliant guitar ideas, composed in cold and snowy February 2009. Lyric-wise, it unveils an important and tricky issue: what happens to love when it has become 'everyday-like?' What happens to passion, all memories, honesty, and communication in a relationship when love is not anymore like it used to be in the very 'beginning?' In my booklet you will find eleven wonderful pictures painted by my friend Katja, who actually is able to paint my dreams. Her painting to 'Love in Grey' is a direct visualization of what I had in mind when I wrote this song's lyrics. The visual and auditory effect of 'Love in Grey' will catch your heart and senses. Have a short break, lean back and enjoy!"

LINKIN PARK

LINKIN PARK's MIKE SHINODA Talks New Album With U.K.'s ABSOLUTE RADIO

Ben Jones of U.K.'s Absolute Radio recently conducted an interview with LINKIN PARK rapper, songwriter, keyboardist, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Mike Shinoda. You can now watch the chat below.

LINKIN PARK's video for the song "The Catalyst" premiered on MTV on August 26 and can now be viewed below. The clip was directed by LINKIN PARK's Joe Hahn. "When coming up with the idea of the visual piece to accompany the song, I thought of the end," Hahn says. "What would it look like and feel like if someone pushed the button to decide our fate? What would it feel like if we accepted our fate in the moment of devastation? If we had a final moment to celebrate our final living moments, how would that feel? When J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, described the first test detonation of the atomic bomb, he famously recalled the Bhagavad Ghita, which says, 'If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one.'"

"The Catalyst", which went to radio on August 2, became the first song to debut at No. 1 in the 14-month history of the Billboard Rock Songs chart. The radio airplay survey measures the most–heard titles on alternative, mainstream rock and triple A radio. "The Catalyst" launched with 12.2 million audience impressions in its first week. The song is also featured in a trailer for EA Games' highly anticipated title Medal of Honor, which launched along with the single and quickly went to No. 1 on YouTube.

CREATION\

CREATION\'S TEARS Debut To See Light Of Day In October

"Methods To End It All", the debut album from Northern Ireland's melodic melancholy metallers CREATION'S TEARS, will finally see the light of day on October 4 via the Cure For Poison label through Code 7 (via Plastic Head). Initially due to be released in the spring of 2010, the CD saw its release date postponed after frontman Brian Eddie Reynolds contracted serious food poisoning during final recording sessions in Sweden with producers David Castillo and Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, SOILWORK).

"Methods To End It All" features a guest appearance by former PARADISE LOST/MARSHALL LAW drummer Lee Morris.

Following his departure from PARADISE LOST in 2004, the sticksman — who appeared on such classics as PARADISE LOST's "Draconian Times" and "One Second" — has been involved in teaching drums to aspiring young musicians as well as keeping active on the session circuit.

Stated Lee Morris: "When I was first contacted by CREATION'S TEARS about playing on their album, I'll be honest and say that I didn't really have any great desire to re-visit this style of playing again, as after nearly a decade of touring and recording with PARADISE LOST, I'd kinda just about exhausted my enthusiasm for this scene. However, after hearing this band's demos and being really impressed by the new fresh ideas they had, plus their incredible ambition, it became a bit of a no-brainer, really, on my involvement on this record."

"Methods To End It All" track listing:

01. Another Collision
02. I Fail
03. Creation's Tears
04. Odyssey (Opus IX)
05. I'm Falling (You'll Never Know)
06. Parody Paradigm
07. The Last Tear Is Cried For Romance
08. No Saviour Here
09. Untimely Reminder
