NEVERBORNE\

NEVERBORNE\'s New Album To Feature Appearances By NIGHTRAGE, Ex-EVERGREY Members

NEVERBORNE, originally hailing from South Africa but now residing in Surrey, U.K., has issued the following update:

"We are excited to announce that we will be working with two guest musicians on our upcoming album. Antony Hämäläinen (NIGHTRAGE) will be providing guest vocals on the track 'Mechanical Ruin' while Henrik Danhage (ex-EVERGREY, DEATHDESTRUCTION) will be doing a guest solo on a track that's yet to be named.

"To be working with such talented musicians from bands that we admire and respect is really inspiring and we can't wait for you all to hear the final product.

"As of today, we've completed preproduction on 10 of the final 12 tracks and are due to begin recording with Karl Groom of Thin Ice Studios on July 19.

"Although we're still working on the album title, we can reveal the following track names: 'Forget To Live', 'Embers To Ashes', 'Mechanical Ruin', 'Confession' and 'Beneath The Scars'.

"The new album can be described as a natural progression of the NEVERBORNE sound that defined our debut release, 'In Absence Of Fear', with more focus on groove and melody"

NEVERBORNE's debut EP, "In Absence Of Fear", was released last November via Glasstone Records. The CD was produced at Surrey's Thin Ice Studios by Karl Groom.

According to a press release, NEVERBORNE writes "adrenaline-soaked metal that combines melody and brutality, harmony and chaos, hope and despair."

GRAVEHILL\

GRAVEHILL\'s \'Rites Of The Pentagram\' To Be Reissued With New Packaging, Bonus EP

GRAVEHILL's "Rites of the Pentagram" album will be reissued on July 6 via Ibex Moon Records. The re-release comes with new packaging and includes the five-song "Metal of Death/Advocation of Murder & Suicide" EP.

Originally issued by Enucleation Records, "Rites of the Pentagram" is described in a press release as "how real death metal is done; no fruity keyboards, no emo or fake guttural vocals, no triggered drumming, no lame sub-par AT THE GATES wannabe riffs, no association with the word 'core' or a band name that is a sentence long and no cramming 5,000 riffs with political-themed lyrics."

GRAVEHILL, CARDIAC ARREST, HOD and FATALIST will team up for the "Campaign For Death Metal Purity 2010" tour. Kicking off July 2 in Portland, Oregon, the trek "was designed for the sole purpose of taking death metal back to its roots, a time when metal wasn't a fashion statement and death metal came from some place much more sinister and far more deadly!" according to a press release.

For a list of dates, go to this location.

GRAVEHILL will enter Trench Studios in Santa Ana later this year with engineer John Haddad to begin recording its sophomore album, "Pravus Tyrannis!", for a late 2010 release via Ibex Moon Records. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Unholy Executioner", "Suffer No Man to Live", "When All Roads Lead To Hell", "Devil Worshipper" and "War Prayers".

GRAVEHILL and CARDIAC ARREST are featured on the first installment of Relapse Records' "Death Metal EP Series", featuring one band per side. This exclusive release contains the GRAVEHILL song "Of Wolves And Wickedness", recorded during the "Metal Of Death / Advocation Of Murder & Suicide" EP session.

MYSTIC PROPHECY Announces New Drummer

MYSTIC PROPHECY Announces New Drummer

German/Greek metal band MYSTIC PROPHECY has announced the addition of drummer Claudio Sisto to the group's ranks.

Commented Sisto: "I'm half Italian but was born in Southern Germany. In 1996 I got my first drum lessons and so far I played in bands like CONTRACRASH, MANTIKOR and UNGEHOBELT. With CONTRACRASH I released an album, rocked the Bang Your Head!!! festival in 2008 and also toured Germany and Finland. In May 2010 I joined MYSTIC PROPHECY claiming the vacant drum kit's seat and I can't wait to kick ass with the guys!!!"

MYSTIC PROPHECY is hard at work on material for its seventh studio album for a tentative April 2011 release.

Commented MYSTIC PROPHECY mainman/producer R.D. Liapakis: "After months of trying and auditioning, we finally found the man for the job. Claudio is not only a very powerful drummer but also the chemistry between us is ideal in order to make great heavy metal music and tour together.

"A band is like a family — if the chemistry isn't right the results are obvious on the music. This is why I feel Claudio is going to be appropriate man for the job.

"As for our new album, 'Fireangel' has been a big success and our fans were very pleased by the result so the new one has to be better or at least equally good.

"I admit that I am always anxious about how people will react to our music. However, so far playing music that comes from our hearts has always led us to good releases and I am confident this album will be no exception to the story so far.

"This is our seventh studio album, and I am confident that with our current lineup, and Claudio behind the drum kit, we will make your heads bang."

MEGADETH\

MEGADETH\'s DAVE MUSTAINE And SLAYER\'s KERRY KING Discuss The \'Big Four\' Tour

Chris Krovatin of Revolver magazine tracked down SLAYER guitarist Kerry King in Austria and MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine in Warsaw, Poland to discuss the two bands' participation in the so-called "Big Four" European dates — a series of Sonisphere festival appearances featuring METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX, the four originators of 1980s thrash. A couple of excerpts from the discussion follow below.

Revolver: How did the "Big Four" tour come about?

King: It was something that was trying to be made happen, so it just took everyone signing off on it. I gotta tell you, man, I can't believe, in the 27 years since we put our first record out, that no one's tried to make this happen. Because now that it is happening, it's so cool, it's so important, that every territory in the world wants it. I don't know what took so long.

Mustaine: We had some opportunities to do these festivals, and we had been doing the Carnage dates [with SLAYER], which were of course so popular in the States and Canada. For me, personally, I didn't see it coming… Having dinner with Lars [Ulrich] the other night, he told me that he had talked to SLAYER's tour manager a year and a half ago about whether or not this was gonna happen, and I thought, God, I'm so glad I didn't know about this a year and a half ago, because I would've had to spend every day with that "I've got a big gig coming" brain.

Revolver: For a long time, it seemed like there was bad blood between you guys, specifically between SLAYER and MEGADETH, and MEGADETH and METALLICA. What squashed that beef?

King: Before we did the Australian and Japanese run with MEGADETH, I was reading the Revolver SLAYER issue, and reading this interview we did with Dave. And I just couldn't remember why I wasn't friends with this dude anymore — I could not remember what I was upset about. So we get to the airport, and I saw him coming out of the lounge, and I came up, shook his hand, and said, "Hey, dude, I don't think I've talked to you in about 15 years!" We have a shitload of dates coming up, and honestly, when I've talked to him, I remember the guy I dug 25 years ago.

Mustaine: We've just learned how to step back see what we stand for in the world, the "Big Four," and how each band has contributed to that in its own way. I had a huge turnaround on my whole outlook at life walking into this tour, these dates, with just a brand new relationship. The first person I talked to was [METALLICA guitarist] Kirk [Hammett]. We talked for a while, and then at dinner, I sat next to James [Hetfield] and Lars, and it was cool to look at it — just how much we changed the world… Twenty years ago, this tour probably wouldn't have happened — we were all young, and we weren't dealing with the fame too well.

Revolver: What do SLAYER represent in the "Big Four?"

King: We represent all that is evil in the "Big Four," and historically, I think we've represented thrash the best, but it's funny, just how these four bands from this same movement went off to become different entities.

Revolver: What about MEGADETH?

Mustaine: Our lyrics are a little deeper than some of the others, but we're each different in that way — SLAYER's lyrics are really different from ANTHRAX's. We're really just like a four-paned window, you know — four different vantage points, all getting across that same message.

Revolver: Since METALLICA is headlining these shows, Kerry, should they be worried about getting blown off the stage by one of you?

King: The one thing I'm not happy about — and we didn't know this until we got here — is that it's not always the "Big Four" in a row. Some days, there are bands in between us, and that's kind of a bummer. A night ending with ANTHRAX, MEGADETH, and SLAYER would be brutal. I have nothing against those other bands, but I didn't know about that. But yeah, we open for METALLICA some nights. I've seen METALLICA twice on this tour, and they may not have all the spiel and bells and whistles they had in the States, but they've been killing it. They're pros, man, they'll have no problem. That said, man, our set's brutal, and it ain't there to make friends.

STONE SOUR Prepares To Reveal New \

STONE SOUR Prepares To Reveal New \'Secret\'; Slipknot\'s Future In Doubt

S

t
one Sour, the Grammy-nominated alt-metal band fronted by Slipknot singer Corey Taylor, will release "Audio Secrecy" on Sept. 7, the group's first new release in nearly four years. Taylor wasn't sure what kid of reaction the new music would get from fans.

So late last week, Taylor was pleasantly surprised when new song "Mission Statement" was downloaded over 50,000 times for free during a special 48-hour period at the group's website.

"I'm just sort of blown away and ecstatic," Taylor says. "There's a lot of buzz and people are really stoked. This album is not only better than the first two Stone Sour albums combined, to me it's the most well-rounded and diverse album I've ever been able to make. The music is just so visceral, and 'Mission Statement' is a perfect example of where it's at. That's a great anthem. It's got a little bit of the heavy but also is melodic as hell."

There's no secret that Stone Sour provides Taylor with creative expression and exploration that he's unable to attain with Slipknot's aggressive style. Taylor declined to comment directly about the recent death of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, he did offer a "too soon to say right now" regarding the masked band's future.

"Yeah, I get a lot of latitude," Taylor says. "As diverse as Slipknot is, it's always kind of a cornerstone for a certain kind of music and I love that, I really do. We kind of set the standards and defined a genre for a while. And to me, I'll never take anything away from that but it has always been very locked in that sort of style. We've broken away and done some different things but we've always come back to what makes us us. With Stone Sour, there aren't those boundaries or locks or chains. I think that's what has kept us moving, right out of the gate that we're not afraid to take chances and do our own thing."

Currently overseas playing European festivals for the rest of this month, Stone Sour returns with stateside dates on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival coming in August. Taylor hints fans can expect to hear new tracks such as lead single "Say You'll Haunt Me" (ships to modern and rock radio July 6), the prog-rockish "Digitial" and the heavy "The Bitter End."

Looking ahead, the group plans on visiting Japan, Australia and Canada, as well as a return visit to Europe, before mounting its own headlining American run next spring.

"Right now I'm looking at a year and a half of my life," Taylor says. "We're just going to tour the world and have a good time."

HAIL! Performs With NIGHTWISH\

HAIL! Performs With NIGHTWISH\'s MARCO HIETALA At Finland\'s SAUNA OPEN AIR

Video footage of HAIL! — the supergroup featuring vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, JUDAS PRIEST, ICED EARTH, BEYOND FEAR), guitarist Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), drummer Paul Bostaph (TESTAMENT, SLAYER, EXODUS, FORBIDDEN) and bassist James Lomenzo (MEGADETH) — performing a cover version of the BLACK SABBATH classic "Neon Knights" on June 12, 2010 at the Sauna Open Air festival in Tampere, Finland with a special guest appearance by Marco Hietala of NIGHTWISH and TAROT can be viewed below.

Commented HAIL!: "If having DEATH ANGEL [perform the KISS classic 'Cold Gin' with us] wasn't enough — we also had Marco Hietala from NIGHTWISH/TAROT sing 'Neon Knights' with us again!

"We had a great time when Marco sang with us in Helsinki [on June 8] and the dude can w(hail!). He's a Finnish god so the crowd went bananas and he tore it up.

"It was an incredible night and everybody had a great time.

"What a wonderful way to say 'see you later' to Finland — friends having fun together the HAIL! way."

Added HAIL!: "The next time you see Andreas, buy him a beer and say thank you. This guy is seriously the ultimate road warrior. After our show at Sauna Open Air, he left at 3:00 in the morning, took a two-hour car ride to Helsinki airport, flew to Zurich, Switzerland, drove two hours to play the Greenfield Festival with SEPULTURA at 3:00 in the afternoon, walked onstage after not seeing the guys for a month and tore it up! ...and his day was far from over as he then drove two hours back to the airport to catch a 2:30 a.m. flight to Madrid, got to the hotel at 10:00 a.m. and played with us at Rock In Rio Madrid (then flew to Frankfurt to grab a train to Saarbrucken to meet up with SEPULTURA for the next two months!).

"Never a complaint or bad word."

"Hail! Andreas Kisser!"

DDT - Doro Alumni Playing Together In New Cover Band

DDT - Doro Alumni Playing Together In New Cover Band

Mark Gromen has checked in with the following:

While Nick Douglas (bass), Johnny Dee (drums) and Joe Taylor (guitar) recently performed together under the bassist's moniker, DDT is a new venture intent on filling the gaps between the DORO touring cycle by offering a fan-favorite array of classic rock covers to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.

"During the festival season we play about 10 days and have 40 off," comments Douglas. "There are a bunch of biker gatherings that want (live) entertainment, so we're looking at filling in the gaps in our schedule."

Their debut gig, at Whiskey Tango, in Northeast Philadelphia (June 18, 2010), saw the trio taking turns as lead vocalist, running through the likes of ALICE COOPER (the Dee sung 'I'm Eighteen'), THE CARS ('Candy-O'), GUESS WHO ('American Band'), PINK FLOYD ('Money'), HENDRIX / DYLAN ('All Along The Watchtower'), THE BEATLES ('She's So Heavy') and NEIL YOUNG / BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD ('Mr. Soul').

Joked Dee: "We've spent 17 years of our lives in Germany and we can't speak Germany! We're some dumb Americans."

Douglas and Dee leave June 21st for Europe, to meet up with Doro for their Graspop gig, in Belgium on the 25th.

SPAWN OF POSSESSION: Demo Version Of New Song Posted Online

SPAWN OF POSSESSION: Demo Version Of New Song Posted Online

Swedish technical death metallers SPAWN OF POSSESSION have posted a rough pre-production version of a new song on their MySpace page. (Click on top song in player.)

Comments guitarist Jonas Bryssling: "The production is pretty bad and muddy. But the production for a pre-prod is not very important anyway. We record pre-prods so we can work with the arrangements and etc. Since we can't rehearse together, we do this instead."

Regarding the progress of the songwriting sessions for SPAWN OF POSSESSION's next album, Bryssling states, "Eight songs are now complete, so there are four songs left to finish up, and the songwriting process has been quite good lately.

"The new songs are more massive (epic), detailed, faster, melodic, brutal, catchier and energetic than the old ones. And so far we are happy with the result. It sounds really close to the vision I got right after the recording of 'Noctambulant', which was to take everything one step further.

"To me, personally, the third album will be the ultimate SPAWN OF POSSESSION album. Because this time I finally got the time to sit down and write down those visions which has been haunting me for years. This would never have been possible with the old members. They were pretty much exhausted and done after 'Noctambulant'. Can't blame them for that; it was a difficult period with a lot of stress and hard work. I was pretty fucked up myself after being isolated for one year of songwriting and practicing.

"I remember when I told Dennis about my new visions after 'Noctambulant', and how he sighed just to think about the amount of work that it would take to write such an album, to practice and to record it. So I'm very grateful for the new members and their positive approach and energy they have put into for SPAWN OF POSSESSION [and for] making a third album possible.

"We have no dates for the new album yet. It's going slow, I know that. But we have other obligations in life besides SPAWN OF POSSESSION. But we are getting closer and closer now."

SPAWN OF POSSESSION's current lineup:

Vocals - Matthew Chalk (PSYCROPTIC)
Bass - Erlend Caspersen (VILE, BLOOD RED THRONE, DECREPIT BIRTH)
Drums - Richard Schill
Guitar - Christian Münzner (OBSCURA, NECROPHAGIST)
Guitar - Jonas Bryssling

MEGADETH\

MEGADETH\'s New Song \'Sudden Death\': Hear It Here First

A new MEGADETH track called "Sudden Death", which will serve as the finger-busting finale to the forthcoming Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock game, can be heard in its entirety in IGN Entertainment's live demo of the game in the YouTube clip below.

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine tells RollingStone.com the track is brutal, and "I'm sure some fans will think it's the greatest thing we've ever done. But other people will say it sucks. That's just the way of the world."

Mustaine tells RollingStone.com the song has a "funky kind of polyrhythm to it" which will make it even more difficult for the Guitar Hero elite. "Just the sheer repetitiveness of it can blow people's minds," Mustaine explains. "And, my guitar style is way different than [other MEGADETH guitarist] Chris Broderick's. Chris plays with a lot of love and I play with a lot of hate. My guitar playing is explosions, and his is more like fireworks. When you are trying to emulate the two kind of guitar styles, it's tricky. I don't care what anyone says, you've gotta be good."

"I thought it was a great idea for us," says Mustaine. "We've had experience with games in the past, and our songs have been in sports games and Grand Theft Auto, but we never really got into the Guitar Hero thing. When they talked to us about doing this, I never imagined it would be something this honorable."

"Only once in my career have I had this happen before," Mustaine says, referring to 1991's soundtrack for "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey", when the band crafted "Go to Hell". "We had written something and Interscope told me to make the lyrics even darker. Activision heard the track, and said, 'We want more solos on it.' And I said, OK, I can do that.'"

Commented BEHEMOTH guitarist/vocalist Adam "Nergal" Darski: "First of all, we've overcome ourselves with this new video clip. Period. It's something we've wanted to do for a very long time. Pretty much no digital intervention, no blue boxes, no fake shit this time, but great filming, good acting, and a fuckin' awesome storyline. It's disturbing, crazy, and evil. We've had over 70 people working for us on this video so we can easily say it was the biggest production so far. We are beyond excited! Wait and see…"

The director of the video, Dariusz Szermanowicz, commented: "This time we decided to make something different. We'd like to make a video in 'cinematic' style without so many VFX like in last two videos. We found a great location, we had dozen of actors and extras and awesome stylizing. 16 hours of hard work resulted with best video we've ever made!"

Vocalist URBAN BREED Joins DARK EMPIRE

Vocalist URBAN BREED Joins DARK EMPIRE

American progressive metallers DARK EMPIRE have announced the addition of Swedish vocalist Urban Breed (PYRAMAZE, BLOODBOUND, TAD MOROSE) to the group's ranks. Urban replaces Jens Carlsson (PERSUADER, SAVAGE CIRCUS), who split from the band on good terms in 2008.

Commented DARK EMPIRE bandleader/guitarist Matt Moliti: "I cannot express how thrilled I am to be collaborating with Urban. His vocals have the perfect blend of power and dynamics that I think will truly take DARK EMPIRE's music to the next level. I'm excited as hell for people to hear the material!"

Demo samples from DARK EMPIRE's forthcoming third album, "From Refuge To Ruin", will be posted to the band's MySpace page in the coming weeks.

Regarding the sound of DARK EMPIRE's new songs, Matt said, "The new material has the sound that was established on [2008's] 'Humanity Dethroned', but we've added some new elements, such as seven-string guitars, mellotrons, and a good deal of old-school doom metal and '70s prog-rock influence. I really think these were the missing puzzle pieces and what we're going to present on 'From Refuge To Ruin' is the ultimate culmination of what I started back in 2004. We're looking at nine songs, with two that are near or over the 10-minute mark. We'll also be doing two covers for bonus tracks. More details on all of that to come."

He added, "We will start recording in the fall with producer Jeremy Krull. We're also in talks with drummers, and we should be able to make a final announcement on who will be performing on the album soon. The plans are for a spring 2011 release.”

CIRRHA NIVA Announces New Drummer

CIRRHA NIVA Announces New Drummer

Dutch progressive metallers CIRRHA NIVA have announced the addition of drummer Wiebe Slim (ex-MELORA RAIN) to the group's ranks.

Commented the band: "We already did one show with Wiebe while supporting THE 11TH HOUR, but at that time he was just doin' us a favour. Needless to say that there was a perfect match that day, which resulted in the fact that Wiebe joined the band.

"Wiebe will introduce himself further on this week, but let's reveal something already right now.

"As a drummer he is influenced by Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Marco Minneman, Dave Weckl, Steve Smith, Benny Greb, Gavin Harrison, Mike Portnoy and many more. So it's obvious he likes PLANET X, DREAM THEATER, PORCUPINE TREE and SYMPHONY X."

Drummer Tommy White recently left CIRRHA NIVA due to health problems. He said in a statement, "Eight months ago, the feeling in my hands started to disappear and slowly began to cause me problems while playing. In the months after it only got worse and I went from one doctor to another, but they could not find the problem. It became clear to me that the live concerts were in jeopardy as at one point I could not guarantee that I could play a full show."

CIRRHA NIVA's latest album, "For Moments Never Done", was released last September through the band's own independent record label Parnassus Records. The distribution of the album was handled by Suburban in the Benelux and The End Records in the USA/Canada.

"For Moments Never Done" was CIRRHA NIVA's first release with new vocalist Legrand and the group's first CD since the 2001 rock opera "Liaison De La Morte". The band has put aside its earlier theatrical and gothic influences in order to develop a more modern style and sound. According to a press release, "raw melancholic metal riffs, groovy drums and dark grunts will be enlightened with the powerful clean sometimes almost poppy and soulful, lead vocals of Legrand."

"For Moments Never Done" was produced by Jochem Jacobs and Bouke Visser at Split Second Sound Studio (TEXTURES, AUTUMN, STREAM OF PASSION) and Excess Recording Studio (AYREON, AFTER FOREVER, GOREFEST). It features seven songs with a total running time of approximately 47 minutes.

The CD features guest appearances by the following musicians:

Manda Ophuis (NEMESEA)
Joost van den Broek (AFTER FOREVER)
Yuval Kramer (AMASEFFER)
Robin de Groot (CHIRAW)
Bouke Visser
