Polish black metallers MOON, led by CHRIST AGONY singer Cezer, are releasing their new "fierce yet dark and atmospheric black/death metal" album Lucifer’s Horns will on September 15th via Witching Hour Productions. The cover artwork and design (click photo left to enlarge) was created by Black Team Media.

MooN leader comments: "I’m extremely excited with the fact then after 10 years of non-existence, I managed to create such solid piece of metal. I’ve been waiting for all these years for comfortable situation and people with whom I could create my specific Plan. It’s also thanks to them that this album took its final form… First time in its history Moon is not only a project band and never before this entity was so strong! Lucifer’s Horns is the new direction but still the following of once chosen path. I’m sure that not only Lucifer itself will be satisfied with this album, but his ‘lunar’ children as well…”

Lucifer’s Horns will be available as limited digipack in the shape of inverted cross and 12” black and white gatefold LP limited to 500 units and numbered.

Singapore-based Pulverised Records has announced the re-signing of horror/gore death metallers BONE GNAWER — the Swedish-American collaboration featuring MASSACRE/ex-DENIAL FIEND growler Kam Lee, Rogga Johansson from PAGANIZER/RIBSPREADER, Morgan Lie from NAGLFAR/HATE AMMO and Ronnie Bjornstrom of RIBSPREADER/HATE AMMO.

Commented Lee of the new album deal and the band's upcoming recording: "It feels good to be back with Pulverised. This is the one label that has a true understanding of the type of old-school '90s style of death metal we play.

"This time around we're taking another brave and bold approach to our musical direction and lyrical concepts.

"We always strive to go against the grain and not cater to modern trends, all the while staying true to the old-school death metal sound.

"This time around we are going for a torture-and-vengeance-type lyrical concept, although some of those traditional 'cannibal-themed'-type lyrics will remain.

"We are [going for] a grittier feel and a much darker-edged 'grind-house' appeal to our lyrical concepts, taking influences from some of the more hardcore-exploitation-type films of the late '70s such as 'I Spit On Your Grave' and 'Last House On The Left'. Musically, we are retaining the horrific blend of old-school death metal we are known for, yet combining it with an even catchier flair."

"Feast Of Flesh", the debut album from BONE GNAWER, was re-released on vinyl, with the first 99 copies including a limited-edition seven-inch single, "Scissored", containing three brand new tracks — "Back To The Butchery", "Leave Her To The Cleaver" and "Scissored". Issued in June through Germany's Metal Inquisition Records, this EP is the only way that fans will be able to get all these tracks at this time.
"Feast Of Flesh" was released in June 2009 via Pulverised Records.

The layout and booklet was designed by veteran metal artist Mark Riddick (ARSIS, DYING FETUS, HYPOCRISY, KATAKLYSM).

According to the group's official bio, BONE GNAWER's music is "a simple assault of old-school style '90s Swedish death metal with other pure classic death metal influences and influences of classic '80s-style death-thrash, while the lyrics twisting on the bizarre, insane, and utter macabre world of modern cannibals and psychotic serial killers; as well as taking loose influences from horror movies with the same themes. With a lyrical touch of dark humor and a blend of catchy but horrific hooks and guitar riffing that is just pure aggressive straight-forward old-style death metal, BONE GNAWER's style is sure to draw you in comfortably close and then relentlessly smash away at your skull with a hammer, cleave your body into seperate parts, and then cook you up on a grill for cannibal consumption!"

BONE GNAWER is:

Kam Lee: Vocals
Rogga Johansson: Bass
Ronnie Björnström: Guitar
Morgan Lie: Drums

The Windsor Star recently conducted an interview with SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

On SLAYER being as influential as ever nearly 30 years after its formation:

"It feels great to know what I'm doing out here matters and you know it is not just brushed under the carpet.

"I think a lot of our new fans went through all the bands they needed to go through to realize that these bands that are playing are real, they're not a studio production and they can perform onstage.

"I mean, you can feel the energy onstage so I think that's what makes this genre so timeless."

On how he keeps himself from growing stagnant:

"I have to keep doing something that is challenging or that makes me think. If not, I just go into cruise control and my mind starts wandering.

"Because of all the influences I have, I'm able to entertain myself and play these little different drum rolls inspired by different music for songs of ours that already exist.

"Probably 90 per cent of what I listen to is music other than metal, but I love performing it and I find that this other music influences me and helps me create a little easier; it's like fertilizer.

"After I went to Istanbul, Turkey, and hung out in the streets and shops, I went music hunting and found myself a few CDs that have great drum patterns so I've been listening to a lot of that lately."

On his plan to continue playiing aggressive music for many years to come:

"There's this band TARAF DE HAIDOUKS who play extremely fast and these guys are like 70 years old, so when they play live it's very inspiring and it makes me feel like I have another 30 years ahead of me.

"I want to continue playing, performing live, however it may be, whether it's with SLAYER or any other band I become a part of.

"I've realized within probably the last year, more so than ever, that this is where I belong, on the stage."

Bassist Sampo Axelsson has released following statement:

"After five years in LION'S SHARE, I have decided to leave the band. This is something I have been considering for quite a while and now the time has come for me to move on.

My decision is not in any way based on dissatisfaction or bad blood, I just feel very strongly that I have taken this endeavour as far as I possibly can. Now I'm eager to pursue new challenges, musically as well as in other fields.

I make this decision knowing that I, during these years, have put all my hard work, dedication and creativity into the band. For me, Lion's Share has been the #1 priority musically and I am proud of my time in the band and what we have achived.

I wish Lars Chriss and Patrik Johansson the best of luck with future endeavours.”

Eriq Gardner from Hollywoodreporter.com is reporting:

Two weeks ago, BRET MICHAELS showed up in Syracuse ready to perform a concert. He arrived at the venue only to find that the gig had been postponed without his knowledge.

Now, the rocker and Celebrity Apprentice winner, fuming from the incident, has just filed a $5 million lawsuit against the concert promoter who allegedly claimed that the show didn't happen because Michaels was going to appear on TV instead.

Around the same time that Michaels was scheduled to perform in Syracuse, he appeared on NBC's America's Got Talent. Can a modern-day rock star appear at two locations at the same time? Thanks to the wonders of technology, he can. The TV show was taped.

So on Monday, Michaels sued Michael Banks and Aloha Events for breaching his contract and exposing him to public contempt and ridicule with allegedly defamatory statements about his schedule.

BIOHAZARD has finished writing 80 percent of the music and about 40 percent of the lyrics for the band's next album, according to a brand new interview bassist/vocalist Evan Seinfeld gave to Chris Harris of Gun Shy Assassin. The follow-up to 2005's "Means To An End" will be produced by Toby Wright, who has previously worked with KORN, SLAYER, MÖTLEY CRÜE, KISS, FEAR FACTORY, IN FLAMES, STONE SOUR and OZZY OSBOURNE, among others. Seinfeld describes the new material as "big, nasty, metal and hardcore" with "melody and hooks, which we've never had before," and promises that the new stuff is heavy, with "moments that feel like 'Urban Discipline' [1991] or 'State of the World Address' [1994]." He says it's "pissed off and thrashy and there are a lot of those intense old-school moments."

In other news, Seinfeld has finished recording the debut album from his long-in-the-works side-project THE SPYDERZ, which also features John Monte, formerly of MINISTRY and M.O.D.

"This is something I have always wanted to do, and it's taken time for me to let it organically develop," Seinfeld tells Gun Shy Assassin.

"I don't know if it sounds like any of these things but the intentions of it come from THE ROLLING STONES and THE WHO, SOCIAL DISTORTION, LYNYRD SKYNYRD. Some people have said it sounds like THE CULT and old GUNS N' ROSES. It has some acoustic ballads.

"Very few people — maybe nobody — will hear it and think, 'That's the guy from BIOHAZARD.'

"You know, even people I am friends with, they play in a band and then they go start another band and it sounds like the first band. Jamey Jasta has five bands that sound like HATEBREED.

"I love Jamey, I love his energy, and I love what he does, but anything I could do in BIOHAZARD, I would do in BIOHAZARD."

"Synapse", a brand new song from THE AUTUMN OFFERING, is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off THE AUTUMN OFFERING's new, self-titled album, which is scheduled for release on August 31 via Victory Records. According to a press release, the CD is "the band's most crushing release to date" and is "chock-full of blast beats and twin guitar wizardry" while "vocalist Matt McChesney sounds as if he is being burned at the stake."

"The Autumn Offering" track listing:

01. Synapse
02. Born Dead
03. Exhale The Locusts
04. Fed To The Lions
05. Hessian Blade
06. Death Mask
07. Viral
08. Among Wolves
09. Bloodlust
10. Myriad Black
11. A Return To Ashes

Thrash metal veterans HELLHOUND have released the following statement:

"HELLHOUND bids a fond farewell to guitarist Robert Kolowitz and drummer Wayne Devecchi, who have accepted permanent positions in San Jose's metal monsters IMAGIKA. Please join us in wishing them the very best and supporting them in their new endeavor. IMAGIKA are a great band, and we look forward to tearing up some stages with them in the future.

"As a result of these changes, Joe [Liszt] will take on guitar duties in addition to vocals, and HELLHOUND will move its base of operations to Sacramento, where two-thirds of the band is already located. We are currently auditioning new drummers in that area, as well as completing the writing for the full-length CD we'll record at year's end."

Formed in the early '80s and based in San Francisco's South Bay area, HELLHOUND developed concurrently but independently of North and East Bay acts such as LEGACY (pre-TESTAMENT), DEATH ANGEL, FORBIDDEN EVIL (pre-FORBIDDEN) and HEATHEN. HELLHOUND eventually shared stages with all these bands during the thriving thrash scene of the mid-Eighties. Before disbanding in 1988, they had played shows with the likes of SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX.

Since its untimely demise, HELLHOUND has built a strong cult following due to CD releases of their classic demo tapes. It was after the most recent release, on Stormspell Records, that four out of the five original members decided to finally reunite and expose a new generation of metal fans to the music of HELLHOUND.

WOODS OF YPRES frontman / founder David Gold has posted footage of himself recording guitar tracks for the band's next album, currently dubbed Woods 5.

Gold recently issued the following update on the recordings:

"Five big songs with different left and right speaker parts, cleans a la 'Tonight's Decision', and massive extra big 'CHUNG' guitars on the heaviest parts. I hear CROWBAR-meets PORCUPINE TREE, SENTENCED/AMORPHIS, some Middle-Eastern flavoured thrash-n'-doom, some of the purest, straight doom we've ever written...but then, ya know, all psychedelic, and lastly, ANATHEMA-meets-black metal, with sadness rock outro."

Maryland hard rock band CLUTCH has announced the track listing for the expanded, two-disc-edition reissue of "Robot Hive/Exodus", due on September 28 through Weathermaker Music. Currently out of print, "Robot Hive/Exodus" was at one point the band's largest selling title of the decade due to the strength of its three extremely powerful yet diverse singles, "Burning Beard", "10001110101" and "Mice & Gods". In addition to upgraded artwork and new "digi" packaging, this expanded edition will feature a bonus DVD which includes a classic 33-minute outdoor performance recorded on location at the Sounds of the Underground festival in July of 2005 in Sayreville, New Jersey. Also included is the Jeremy Hunt-directed "Burning Beard" video clip, which was the first-ever CLUTCH single to reach the "year-end" Top 10 most played on MTV's "Headbangers Ball". In total, the "Robot Hive/Exodus" reissue contains 23 songs and over 90 minutes of music.

This is the second of three planned extended double disc re-issues, as Weathermaker has already released "From Beale Street to Oblivion" in July, and plans to issue forth the "Blast Tyrant" package in November.

For the über-CLUTCH fan and/or retro rocker, Weathermaker will see to it that all three releases will make thier way onto limited-edition vinyl.

On September 22, CLUTCH will embark on a nine week tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and CHILDREN OF BODOM. In addition to 40-plus dates with Zakk Wylde's widely popular hard rock act, the veteran rock band from Maryland has just announced six headline concerts that will be placed within the fall tour, giving its North American fanbase close to 50 opportunities to see the band perform a combination of classic CLUTCH material as well as current fan favorites like "50,000 Unstoppable Watts", "Let a Poor Man Be" and "Abraham Lincoln" from the band's latest, Top 40-charting "Strange Cousins From the West" full-length album.

HAIL! — a global touring machine composed of a tight-knit brotherhood of music's most highly respected and talented artists — performed a very special one-off concert on August 14, 2010 at the G-Taranaki festival in Taranaki/New Plymouth, New Zealand with a lineup featuring vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ICED EARTH), guitar virtuoso Tony Macalpine, legendary bassist Tony Franklin (THE FIRM, BLUE MURDER, WHITESNAKE) and JUDAS PRIEST drummer Scott Travis.

The band has issued the following recap of the experience:

"We had a great time at the G-Taranaki festival this past week.

"Our newest HAIL! brothers, Scott Travis, Tony Franklin and Tony Macalpine, CRUSHED it.

"With only one short rehearsal and an unworldly impromptu 'talk-through' kind of jam in the dressing room (highlighted by Scott playing a lounge chair and a light stand!), the night went off in amazing fashion.

"It is such an honor and privilege to witness and experience these types of magical moments that happen when musicians of this caliber just close their eyes and flow together. It truly is the magic of music.

"We played two shows, the main set at TSB Stadium and then a more intimate VIP type 'midnight session' at the Puke Ariki Museum.

"In HAIL! tradition, we love to invite our friends and compatriots to join us and tonight was no exception.

"Our motive has always been to provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the fans to see something unique and special. It is also our belief that an open door fosters friendships and we all benefit from these artistic and personal pairings because it produces a genuine feeling of connection between people and styles. Plain and simple, it's fun for all of us.

"Talk about great fortune: We had ex-SCORPIONS guitarist (and Abba's [HAIL!'s organizer/manager Mark Abbatista, NOT the band!] all-time favorite guitarist) Uli Jon Roth join us for a scorching rendition of RAINBOW's 'Man On The Silver Mountain'; MICHAEL JACKSON guitarist Jennifer Batten ripped through THE FIRM's 'Radioactive' (which also included an awesome bass solo from Tony Franklin); and UFO shredder Vinnie Moore closed the show with us by crushing BLACK SABBATH favorite 'Paranoid' (we ran out of time for 'TNT', but we played it later).

"To witness Tony Macalpine trading screaming leads with these folks was awesome!

"We had a great set, the crowd was fantastic and the overall vibe was outstanding and warm.

"We hung around to watch Slash's set. Predictably, he was great, and then we all headed over to the midnight sessions.

"In the spirit of the jam, we didn't have any real plan so what better way to kick start things then with a Lemmy-sized boot to the face?! …and 'Ace Of Spades' did just that. We followed that with the fan-friendly sing along of AC/DC's 'TNT' (OY!), BLACK SABBATH's 'Heaven And Hell' and 'Mob Rules'. Jennifer Batten rejoined us for 'Living After Midnight' and another guitar assault of trading volleys with Tony and then Slash, Uli, Tony Franklin and Brent Fitz jammed the rest of the evening away in a guitar lesson that won't be forgotten.

"The playing tonight was sick!

"We had a wonderful time in New Zealand and thank all the people who worked so hard to make this happen especially event producer Dan Allen and the spirit of Garry Sharpe-Young. Special thanks and heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Gulliver girls — Therese, Lucinda, Francine and Sonja — who made our whole experience unforgettable."

Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Chris "OJ" Ojeda of reuntied West Virginia metallers BYZANTINE has issued the following update:

"We have been receiving a lot of emails and texts lately about a rumor regarding us losing a band member. Well, the rumors are TRUE.

"First, let me backtrack a little and give you the full story.

"After the three BYZANTINE 'reunion shows' we had back in March 2010, a couple of us kicked around the idea of not hanging it up. We thought it would be awesome to keep playing, albeit back in the local West Virginia music scene, unsigned and happy as hell.

"We had two major stumbling blocks that we needed to cross first. Skip [bassist Michael 'Skip' Cromer] had moved back to Trafford, Pennsylvania to pursue a career in the IT field and Tony [Rohrbough, guitar] moved to Charlotte, North Carolina to try his hand at warmer weather.

"Skip immediately was on board. We asked Tony and, after some thought, he decided to not return back to playing in BYZANTINE.

"We respect Tony's decision to move on with other musical endeavors just as Tony respects our decision to continue under the name BYZANTINE. Skip, [Matt] Wolfe [drums] and myself simply are having too much fun to quit for good.

"Tony and I started BYZANTINE 10 years ago. Tony's writing style and lead guitar technique are an intergral part of the BYZANTINE sound. But, over the course of three studio albums, we had three different writing teams which produced three different-sounding albums.

"In no way are we going to try to bring in another Tony. With that being said, we would like to introduce our newest lead guitarist, Brian Henderson!!! Brian has been an easily recognizable figure in the West Virginia music scene as he currently is the lead guitarist for the Ashland, Kentucky-based rock band SPLIT NIXON. Brian will be handling both duties for BYZANTINE and SPLIT NIXON.

"We are very honored and excited to be playing with such a great guitarist and an even greater friend! So if you attend a future BYZANTINE show, buy Brian a beer. He likes beer. 'Till then!!!"

Mikko "Linde" Lindström, guitarist for the Finnish "love metal" band HIM, became engaged to Toni-Marie Iommi, HALO/ex-LUNARMILE singer and daughter of BLACK SABBATH guitar legend Tony Iommi, on Friday, August 13.

Lindström, 34, has a seven-year-old daughter named Olivia with his ex-wife, Finnish singer Mariam "Manna" Jäntti.

Toni, 27, was born in Solihull, United Kingdom and spent the first few years of her life living with her mother who is part native American. At the age of 15, she moved to England to live with her father.

In an interview with His Inernal Magazine, the online magazine of HIM - The Crimson Gate Official Italian Street Team, Toni stated about her upbringing, "Moving to live with my father has been a great turn for the good. My father, being a well-respected musician, taught me so much about life and music.

"People say to me, 'Wow! You are so lucky to have Tony Iommi as your father.' That always makes me laugh. Yes, I am lucky! What people don't see [is that] my father is DAD. To me, just like any other father, he sets rules, he worries about me when I'm out and about and he wants what's best for me, etc."

When asked how she would describe her father as a person, Toni said, "To sum my father up in so many words would be he is a very generous guy whose heart is never black, but loving and warm. He loves animals and is very grounded as a person. He loves jokes and pranks!

"Living at home with dad was sometimes annoying. I say that only as a daughter to her father. Just when I'd think it was safe, dad would pull a prank on me! His favorite of all... Opening my bedroom door just enough to make a gap, then he would balance a shoe in the top corner. As soon as I'd push the door open, it would fall from the top and scare the hell out of me! So, not only is dad talented but he is an amazing father and person."

Toni currently resides in Finland with Lindström and fronts a new band called HALO (MySpace page), which also features three Finnish guys and a British girl.

Happy couple

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King spoke with Ed Masley from Azcentral.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Azcentral.com: With World Painted Blood did you have goals going in as to what kind of record you wanted to make?

King: "Not really. I think our career is similar to AC/DC's. They're more rock and roll. But I think people like AC/DC because they sound like AC/DC. And people like Slayer because we're Slayer. It's like, 'Here's the formula.' There's no point in changing it 'cause it works pretty good."

Azcentral.com: I saw an interview online where you were talking up the new song 'Hate Worldwide', and you said Slayer's been spreading the hate worldwide for 25 years. You really feel like you've been spreading hate?

King: "To some people. I think a lot of times, we say things that people are too scared to say in their own lives. People can relate to what we're saying. They can relate to that rage, even though they may or may not be able to lash out in their own lives. Maybe they can live vicariously through our songs."

Azcentral.com: So if someone did quit, you wouldn't continue as Slayer?

King: "No. I'm not gonna go around with some (expletive) made-up Slayer band (laughs). But I tell you what. My next band would sound like Slayer. That's all I know."
