In 2005, AVIAN released their debut album, "From The Depths Of Time", to both fan and critical acclaim. The lineup featured vocalist Lance King, known for his work with PYRAMAZE and BALANCE OF POWER, and a very special guest appearance by David Ellefson of MEGADETH fame, who played bass on the album. Additional credits include mastering by Tommy Hansen, best known for his work with HELLOWEEN and breathtaking artwork created by Mattias Norén.

"From The Depths Of Time" has been out of print for a while and is now being reissued with three previously unreleased tracks via the band's new label, Blinding Force Recordings:

01. Sentinel On The Horizon
02. Two Sides Collide
03. As The World Burns (live acoustic version)

"Sentinel On The Horizon" features vocals by Brian Hollenbeck, who takes over the reigns from the departed Lance King. "Two Sides Collide" was previously only available on the Japanese version of the album.

"From The Depths Of Time" (special edition) will be available worldwide on October 26, 2010 at Amazon.com, iTunes, CDBaby, and other online stores. With a total running time of over 68 minutes, the CD contains 16 tracks as well as 16 pages of phenomenal artwork created by Mattias Norén.

According to a message on the event's official web site, a severe thunderstorm hit Sonisphere festival in Pori, Finland this afternoon (Sunday, August 8) at approximately 4:00 p.m. Strong gusts of freak wind damaged the stages and knocked down tents and fences. Around 40 people were injured, two of them seriously, and are currently receiving treatment in hospital.

Sonisphere festival series producer Stuart Galbraith said in a statement. "Our first thoughts go out to the injured people and we sincerely hope they will have a full recovery."

The second stage was damaged beyond repair and to guarantee the safety of the audience, artists and crew the authorities closed the stage. The storm damaged MÖTLEY CRÜE's equipment, forcing the band's show to be cancelled. IGGY POP did play, performing an acoustic four-track set on the main stage, while the Sonisphere crew worked hard behind the scenes to dry everything out and make repairs to damage across the site.

Having borrowed the kit from SLAYER, ALICE COOPER is performing a full set on the main stage and IRON MAIDEN will also perform a full set, going on stage at approximately 9:50 p.m. and playing until approximately 11:50 p.m. The police and city authorities have agreed to allow IRON MAIDEN to finish later than originally planned.

"We're doing everything we can to ensure that the show can take place. The show will run so long as it can run safely," said Stuart Galbraith.

Die holländischen Todesblei-Großmeister HAIL OF BULLETS haben ihr zweites Album im Kasten! Erscheinen wird der sehnlichst erwartete Longplayer am 8./11. Oktober in Europa und am 12. Oktober in Nordamerika.
Nun wurde auch Cover-Artwork und Titel enthüllt. Das Album wird sich "On Divine Winds" nennen.

Schlagzeuger Ed Warby erklärt: "I don't think I've ever worked this hard on anything in my entire life, but it sure has paid off! Although 'Of Frost And War' is a tough act to follow, my ringing ears tell me we've succeeded in besting it on every level: songs, playing, production… at the moment Dan Swanö is putting the final touches on a mix that could squash a tank, and then it's off to the pressing plant! All the main ingredients of our blood 'n' guts style death metal have remained intact and I honestly can't imagine anyone that liked our previous work is going to be the least bit disappointed…on the contrary!"

Norway's HELHEIM, well known for incorporating Norse history into its music and performances, will release a brand new EP, "Åsgårds Fall", in October. The CD was recorded at Conclave Studio with producer Bjørnar Nilsen and will feature the following track listing:

01. Dualitet og Ulver
02. Jernskogen (remake)
03. Helheim Part
04. Åsgårds Fall 1
05. Åsgårds Fall 2

A full-length album, entitled "Heiðindómr ok Mótgang", was also recorded during the same sessions and will be released in January along with a concert DVD.

In other news, HELHEIM is currently working on a video for the song "Dualitet og Ulver" from the "Åsgårds Fall" mini-CD. Most of the main footage is being filmed this weekend on mountains surrounding Bergen, Norway.

HELHEIM caused a stir when it launched its sixth album, "Kaoskult", in a Norwegian kindergarten, where the band played a shortened acoustic set to the children.

"Kaoskult" was HELHEIM's sixth release, and its second on the Dark Essence label. The nine-track album presented a new maturity from the band, which has explored a more varied, and melodic side to its music. Written by now-former guitarist Thorbjørn, with lyrics by Vgandr, "Kaoskult" was produced by Bjørnar Nilsen, who also contributed guest vocals.

Den Song "With Love and a Bullet" ist ab sofort als Stream auf Shadowgarden's MYSPACE verfügbar. "Ashen" erscheint Ende August 2010 via Napalm Records.

"Ashen" Track List:

01. Shadowplay
02. Last Summer
03. With Love and a Bullet
04. The Withering of Mine
05. Sorrow`s Kitchen
06. 1:40 AM
07. Murky Waters
08. Way Down Low
09. Empty Days
10. Slowmotion Apocalypse

Prophecy Productions reports:

HELRUNAR have just recently finished recording their fourth album, Sól, which due to its length is going to be released in two parts entitled Sól I - Der Dorn im Nebel and Sól II - Zweige der Erinnerung respectively.

Skald Draugir is very excited about the long-awaited follow-up to Baldr Ok Íss: "Sól is going to be our darkest and most nihilistic, but also our most spiritual work to date! On two albums with altogether around 100 minutes playing time, we will take new paths music-wise and lyrics-wise, while our roots are still very much black metal. Musically, we are putting an emphasis on atmosphere and an emotional arc of suspense on Sól, lending a certain epic broadness to the tracks."

At the end of August, Skald Draugir and Alsvartr are going to return once more to the Klangschmiede Studio E to put the finishing touches to the double album. The release of Sól is still scheduled for 2010.

Norway's TRAIL OF TEARS has issued the following lineup news:

"Our guitarist, party-hat chief and beer drinker extraordinaire, Pål [Olsen], has informed the rest of us that he is leaving the band. His decision is based on lack of time and a general wish to concentrate on the band that he co-founded, GUARDIANS OF TIME.

"We think it sucks to lose a talented guitarist as well as a genuinely great guy but this decision is probably for the best both for Pål, as well as for the band and we absolutely respect it and wish Pål much luck and happiness in the times to come.

"TRAIL OF TEARS will not bring a new member into the family as we are very much content with how the situation is at the moment and so the band will continue as a five-piece. We also want to make it perfectly clear that this will not affect the upcoming festivals and shows, nor will it affect the writing and pre-production work for the next album, a process that we are well underway with."

Pål had the following to say regarding his decision to leave TRAIL OF TEARS:

"Due to my commitment to GUARDIANS OF TIME, I can no longer give 100% of myself to TRAIL OF TEARS. Anything less than 100% feels wrong for me when it comes to such a great band, and I see no other option than to leave the band.

"My time in TRAIL OF TEARS has been a great run. I have been lucky enough to contribute to one of the band's best albums, 'Bloodstained Endurance', and we have played a lot of great shows together.

"My last gig with TRAIL OF TEARS at Metalcamp in Slovenia a few weeks ago was a good ending for me. We part ways as good friends, and I wish them the best of luck in the future."

TRAIL OF TEARS's sixth album, "Bloodstained Endurance", was recorded and mixed over a six-week period at Sound Suite Studio in Marseille, France with producer Terje Refsnes. Mastering duties were handled by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Finland. The cover artwork for the album was designed by acclaimed artist Travis Smith (AMORPHIS, OPETH, NEVERMORE).

NIGHTWISH keyboardist / founder Tuomas Holopainen has issued the following update:

"Another week passed by, another week of rehearsing, song-shaping, sweating, boating and fishing. The happiest event naturally was Anette having a baby and feeling fantastic with the newborn! Our congrats and blessings for the whole family!

Songs #9 and #10 took shape last weekend. The #9 - one explores Zimmer-territories shamelessly with the chorus taking us back to our roots. Emppu`s favorite part of the whole album, I reckon. I`ve always had problems with short, simple - structured songs but this sounds very promising even to my cynical ears and heart.

Last song put together will be the last one on the album, an insanely ambitious piece. I assume it will be close to 20 minutes long. Uncle Walt`s spirit is already haunting in every note of this song. Still needs some arranging, though.

We have only one song left to practice after the monster song, an acoustic piece in the vein of 'The Islander'. Ennio Morricone meets Christy Moore. Emppu and me need loads of Guinness, some fine single malt and a windy day to bring this one alive. And Troy`s pipes & bodhran, of course.

Marco (pictured) also sang demo vocals for almost all the songs so they start making more sense and so that Anette would be able to hear the vocal melodies and the pacing of the lyrics. I deeply enjoy this process of building the songs slowly together, weaving stories out of thin air, and it`s almost always the vocals that finally wake the songs up.

Yesterday I drove to Lappeenranta to play keys to KOTITEOLLISUUS' new demo. Great stuff coming up from that front, too!

It`s about three weeks before we start recording the demo so now we have time to put final touches into the songs and perfect them the best we can. It`s fantastic not to be in any hurry for a change! Which reminds me, time to go catch that trout.

Take good care everyone!"

Tony Choy, former bassist for the reactivated seminal technical metal pioneers ATHEIST, has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding his departure from the group:

"This is a courtesy statement to all my fans due to the surprising comments by ATHEIST concerning my absence on the new album.

"I would like to clarify that I was not dismissed from ATHEIST. I left on good terms and made a courtesy call to Steve Flynn [drums] ahead of time stating that my heart was not into the music and that I couldn't be a part of something that I just didn't feel right about.

"Also, I would like to make clear that the business logistics where never clear nor concrete from the word go in regards to this new album.

"This is a statement strictly for my fans so you know the truth and you hear my personal voice in this matter.

"I wish ATHEIST the best.

"I have always been a huge fan of the ATHEIST legacy and music and them saying that I just rode on the coattails of [late ATHEIST bassist] Roger Patterson left me very insulted and hurt by people who I considered friends.

"I have always respected and given credit to Roger and may he continue to rest in peace. He was not only a solid bass player but my friend as well.

"For the record, I do music for music. I embrace all styles of music and I play all styles of music. Anyone who knows me knows that I enjoy anything that is good music.

"I am Tony Choy and I play bass like Tony Choy and I consider all musicians to be good musicians. As long as you have passion towards your music, regardless of style, then you are truly a good musician.

"I am not in this industry to be competitive. Like my father always says, 'Tony, there is always somebody better out there.' So I just seek to be original.

"I thank you all for always supporting me. Without the fans, we are nothing.

"I would like announce that I have my first official project called SYNCHRONICITY. The album should be done by the end of August we are looking for an october release. My fellow band members are guitarist Santiago Dobles from AGHORA, drummer Matt Thompson from KING DIAMOND and AGHORA, myself on bass, Arbise 'Motif' Gonzales on keys and programming, and some surprising guest artists.

"This is a metal album with many elements of all styles and our roots. It is a real fusion album loaded with 100% heavy metal balls , groove and tech.

"The band is managed my great friend and fellow musician Frank Watkins and Back From The Dead Productions.

"You will soon see us on tour to support our new release coming soon!"

German metallers WOLFCHANT have issued the following update:

"After five years, Derrmorh leaves the band for the time being. He’s heading straight to the USA to spend one semester there for his studies. We say thank you for the great time we had together and we wish him all the best as well as success for his future. As a consequence, we would like to introduce Ragnar (as seen on the picture) as our new guitarist who will play his first gigs with us in August.

Furthermore, we are working very hard on our new album which is going to be called Call Of The Black Winds. We will enter Markus Stock’s Klangschmiede E (EMPYRIUM, THE VISION BLEAK, ELUVEITIE) in November to record our new songs."

According to The Pulse of Radio, SEVENDUST and 10 YEARS will lead the lineup of the second annual HardDrive Live tour, with SINCE OCTOBER and ANEW REVOLUTION also appearing on the bill. Dates and venues will be unveiled on Monday, August 16. Last year's inaugural tour, sponsored by the nationally syndicated rock radio program "HardDrive", featured All THAT REMAINS, LACUNA COIL and others. Info on tickets, VIP packages, meet-and-greet passes and other details for this year are yet to be unveiled.

SEVENDUST and 10 YEARS have shared some wild times on the road in years past, but 10 YEARS singer Jesse Hasek told The Pulse of Radio his band is a little more mellow on tour these days. "In our experience and our age — we're getting a little bit older — you realize that this is a business and you can't jeopardize the performance by partying too much," he said. "For me, being the vocalist, I've really found the line. I can't do that stuff every night and expect to get up there and perform to the, my capabilities and everything."

"Cold Day Memory", the new album from SEVENDUST, sold around 27,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 12 on the Billboard 200 chart.

SEVENDUST's previous album, "Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow", opened with 25,000 units back in April 2008 to land at position No. 19.

"Cold Day Memory" was released on April 20 on the band's own 7Bros. Records, through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group. The CD — produced by Grammy Award winner Johnny K (DISTURBED, STAIND, 3 DOORS DOWN, PLAIN WHITE T'S) — is the group's first new album with its original lineup back together with guitarist Clint Lowery's return after his departure in 2003

10 YEARS will release its new album, "Feeding The Wolves", on August 31, but the first single, "Shoot It Out", is already on the radio now. The title of the record is actually taken from a line in the song, which Hasek says is about the pressures the band has faced in the music business. "It's a very aggressive song and it's a little bit of angst towards just how they don't leave you alone to be the musicians you are," he tells The Pulse of Radio. "You hear it with a lot of bands, the whole 'jaded' scenario, but it's true, because we're a bunch of musicians that were writing music all on our own with no outside sources affecting us. And then you get, it turns into a profession and you get pulled in all sorts of directions. And we just said, 'Enough's enough, we're just gonna do what we want.'"

The band recently promised that "Feeding The Wolves" will be "the heaviest album they've made in nearly a decade."

SINCE OCTOBER recently released its sophomore effort, "Life, Scars, Apologies", which features the single "The Way You Move".

Spinner has issued the following report from Barnaby Smith:

ROBERT PLANT has revealed that the famous LED ZEPPELIN reunion show at the O2 Arena in 2007 was "too heavy" for him, and that after the show he had to slink away and have a few quiet drinks on his own.

He also described fobbing off the Gallagher brothers backstage after the gig, which was held to pay tribute to Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records.

Rob Zombie says that he has buried the hatchet with Ozzy Osbourne after recently airing his feelings about two of his more recent band members — bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson and drummer Tommy Clufetos — being hired away by Ozzy Osbourne for Ozzy's touring band. Nicholson was hired by Ozzy in 2006 while Clufetos left just months ago, leaving Zombie in desperate need of a drummer.

In a posting on his MySpace page, Zombie writes, "I am very happy to put this Zombie-vs.- Ozzy crap to rest.

"I just got off the phone with Ozzy and all is good with us.

"I have known Ozzy and Sharon for many years and have never had any problems with them. In fact, they have always been very cool and easy to deal with. So, needless to say, I found this whole situation very strange and a real bummer.

"This whole thing was really always between my band and a certain ex-drummer, not between me and Ozzy.

"I wish Ozzy nothing but the best. End of story."

In a recent interview with the Artisan News Service (see video below), Zombie stated about his musicians being hired away by Ozzy, "I think there's ways to do things and I think there's ways to not do things and I think the way they've chosen to do things is not how I would do things; I think it's kind of rude."

Zombie added, "I mean, if my guys that I have wanna go play with other people, that's fine; I don't own them. But I think there's ways to do things in a respectful way and there's ways to just be shitty, and I feel that the way things have gone down lately has been pretty shitty . . . I'm just happy because every time I've lost somebody, I've gotten somebody ten times better, so I'm thankful for that. So if somebody's band wants to be made up of my cast-offs, enjoy."

Zombie told The Pulse of Radio his current band, which features guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D. and SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison, is the best he's ever had. "Yeah, this is the best it's ever been," he said. "I mean, it always gets better and better, but I really can't imagine it ever getting better than this because everybody in the band is such a perfect fit for what we need to do and, you know, there's been times where there's nice people in the band or good players, but they just sort of weren't the right person but they could fake it onstage. But this is the first time we've really had four people that are all like-minded. I don't know, it's just perfect. I mean, we would all be friends if we weren't in the band. We're all that same type of personality, it's great."

Clufetos said in a recent interview about his decision to join Ozzy's band, "Ozzy called me to join his band, and how could I say 'No' to Ozzy Osbourne? It's the pinnacle, so that's why I did it."

Zombie and Ozzy have been friends in the past. They collaborated on a song called "Iron Head" for Zombie's second solo album, 2001's "The Sinister Urge", and Zombie directed a video for Ozzy's 2001 single "Dreamer". Zombie has also toured with Ozzy several times.

Zombie is currently co-headlining the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with KORN and will hit the road with ALICE COOPER this fall.

Rockstar Weekly reports:

In a new announcement from its publishing company, VAN HALEN are reportedly back in the studio recording a new album with original vocalist DAVID LEE ROTH. The record, expected to be released in 2011, will be the band’s first full studio album since 1998’s Van Halen III, which featured vocals by EXTREME singer Gary Cherone.

Since forming in the early 70s, Van Halen have released 11 studio albums and have had an on-and-off relationship with Roth. From 1986 to 1997, Roth was replaced by the red rocker SAMMY HAGAR and Cherone was called in for one album after that. Roth’s return to the band in 2007 produced the largest grossing Van Halen tour in history.

Warner/Chappell Music has extended its administration agreements with two original members of the legendary rock band ( Eddie and Alex Van Halen). Under the agreement, Warner/Chappell will continue to administer their catalog of works, including any new releases.

German extreme metallers DEATH OF DESIRE have issued the following update from guitarist Morbid:

"I am fucking devastated by what has happened...

We met with this promoter asshole at a bar today, Dawn Desiree (vocals) and I went there, we were supposed to talk some business about live shows and shit like that... The scumbag went there with his so-called band (name I don't care to say), at the end of the night they all turned against me and tried to fucking beat me up. Some time after, Dawn Desiree, who was intoxicated with alcohol, was taken away and her car was stolen by them. I was left by myself in the middle of nowhere and had to steal a fucking bike to make my way home a faster trip, it wasn't... it sucked... fucking 5 hours of pedaling and walking like a maniac.

These are the longest hours I've ever had to go through... not only a good friend and band member is missing for me, but also a fucking soulmate. These people have destroyed me, I will take vengeance for this... blood will run.

I can only hope to see her again soon.... everyone out there pray for her safe return.

And note that PERVERSE PRODUCTIONS from San Diego are fucking cowards and feeble people... they are the losers responsible for all this... we took them in and considered them family, gave them our trust and a chance to promote themselves on our documentary and webpage, and at the end they fucking backstabbed us and kidnapped Dawn!

FUCK PERVERSE PRODUCTIONS AND FUCK THE LOWLIFE PEOPLE!"

Stay tuned for further updates on this situation.

U.D.O., the German heavy metal band led by former ACCEPT frontman Udo Dirkschneider, has recorded the official "anthem" of the Wacken Open Air festival, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. According to the event organizers, you will be able to find "Wacken Hymne 2010" all over this year's festival, which kicked off today (Thursday, August 5) and is scheduled to run through Satuday (August 7). Also included on the CD is the U.D.O. song "Bogeyman" (taken from the band's most recent album, "Dominator"), SUBWAY TO SALLY's version of the D.A.D. track "It's After Dark", and the VICTIMS OF MADNESS tune "The Burning Anniversary".

Commented Holger Hübner of Wacken Open Air: "Udo Dirkschneider has been a companion of the Wacken Open Air for years. Therefore U.D.O. were the obvious choice to follow in the tradition that Doro began last year. Well, we accept only U.D.O.!"

Added U.D.O.'s Udo Dirkschneider and Stefan Kaufmann: "The Wacken Open Air stands for THE family gathering of the metal scene. It holds its very own fascination. Therefore we have immediately agreed to the proposal of Holger and Thomas to perform the new Wacken anthem!"

Stated Enno Heymann, Chairman of the Wacken Foundation, "This festival hymn represents a special boon to the Wacken Foundation. We are glad to see the Wacken forum band VICTIMS OF MADNESS having the chance to get on a single with three well-established and renowned acts. This is forging a link between established musicians and young hopefuls. Additionally there will be 2 € given to the Wacken Foundation for each sold copy."
