Swedish metallers ASTRAL DOORS will release their fifth album, "Requiem Of Time" in Europe on January 15 and in North America on February 16 through Metalville, the band and label pool launched by the Cologne, Germany-based company Flying Dolphin Entertainment Group UG.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Testament of Rock
02. Power and the Glory
03. Rainbow Warrior
04. Call of the Wild
05. St. Peter's Cross
06. So Many Day So Many Nights
07. Blood River
08. Anthem of the Dark
09. Metal DJ
10. Fire and Flame
11. Greenfield of Life
12. The Healer
13. Evil Spirits Fly
14. When Darkness Comes

Commented the band: "All the previous releases from ASTRAL DOORS have been mixed by the master Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY, PAIN). He has done a great job for us and we love and respect him very much. This time around, however, we decided to give our very own guitar player, Martin Haglund, the chance to be in control of the mixing process.

"Martin has really improved as a sound engineer and technician the last couple of years, and we felt that he could do as great job as his best friend Tägtgren.

"Martin's mix is just incredible and we can't wait to share it with the entire world."

Dutch death/thrash metal act DETONATION entered the studio in August to begin recording the follow-up to 2007's "Emission Phase". Vocalist Koen Romeijn states, "Last Sunday [November 15] I finished recording all the vocals. It took a little longer than planned, but the result is very satisfying I must say. It's definitely another step forward after my vocal performance on 'Emission Phase', and a slightly more agressive tone, which suits the new/more brutal direction we are heading with DETONATION.

He adds, "So we're pretty much finished with the recordings (except for one or two guitar leads). That means Harry Van Breda will start the mixing soon. Can't wait to hear it! Expect some samples to arrive in the not-too-far distance."

Songtitles set to appear on the new CD include "Feeding On The Madness", "Ruptured", "Insults To My Heritage" and "The Thirst To Slaughter"."

French black metallers DWELLERS OF THE TWILIGHT have completed work on their second album, "Sycophant", tentatively due in early 2010 via an as-yet-undetermined record label.

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Skeptics
02. Dark Matter Lungs
03. Explorers
04. Endless Cycle
05. Fastwalkers
06. Sycophant
07. Self Conspiracy
08. Unearthing History
09. Terraformer
10. Serpents In The Sky

The Age reports that legendary rockers AC/DC have topped this year's list of Australia's richest entertainers, according to Australian business magazine BRW.

The band dislodged the WIGGLES from the No. 1 spot in the 2009 BRW Top 50 Entertainers list, with revenue of AUD $105 million (approximately USD $95 million) — a nine-fold increase on the previous year.

"They've always been steady on the list but have come from $12 million last year to $105 million this year, blowing everyone out of the water," said BRW reporter Jane Lindhe.

Lindhe said the band's strategy of selling tickets for no more than $US150 for their current tour has benefited sales worldwide.

'80s hard rock queen Lita Ford is finally speaking out about the infamous bio-pic on her former band, THE RUNAWAYS, which stars Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett, Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie, and Scout Taylor Compton as Lita.

"Most people would want to be in a movie, but I sure didn't want anything to do with this one," admits Lita about the film, which has the working title of "The Runaways". "They're using my name and that makes me nervous as some of the people involved have tried to destroy my career since 1980."

However, Lita's attitude changed a bit after Scout Taylor Compton, the 20-year-old actress who portrays her in the film, made a special trip out to Lake Tahoe, Nevada on Saturday to see her perform with QUEENSRŸCHE.

"After meeting Scout this weekend, I feel so much better," continues Lita. "She has a heart and soul, unlike some of the people behind the movie. She also hawks a mean loogey and really is a lot like me. We both cried the first time we spoke. Scout rocks."

And Scout thinks Lita rocks, too. "Lita Ford is an icon of rock and has always been a personal hero of mine," says the actress, who is also a singer and drummer. "I can't wait for her to see the film. I put my heart and soul into portraying her and to find out she is such an amazing person was truly a blessing for me. It's something I'll never forget!"

Derbyshire, England with acclaimed British producer and SABBAT guitarist Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE) to begin recording their new studio album. The as-yet-untitled CD — which will mark the recording debut of the band's new lead singer, Mark Tornillo (ex-TT QUICK) — will include around 12 songs and be released in early 2010 via an as-yet-undetermined record label.

Longtime metal journalist and fan John Strednansky was the first (and so far only one) outsider invited to listen to the new songs. "I had to promise to keep this to myself as the band wanted to keep the sessions top secret, but I cannot control myself!" he said. "This new stuff is mind-blowing!"

He continued, "I got to hear 15 new tracks and one was better than the next!

"Holy smoke!!! ACCEPT is reborn and better than ever!

"We all know that they have been writing songs with Mark but that they’d be able to recapture the metal spirit of the Eighties this perfectly... well, that blew me away! No way has it been 13 years since the last record.... The songs are heavy, melodic and have a killer groove, Wolf's [Hoffmann] guitar playing smokes all over the place. There are fast songs, and then there are those epic numbers! The music is stunning and will surprise everyone! Mark is singing from his heart and soul and sounds brilliant; he truly amazed me.... And you get the ingenious Andy Sneap producing this thing! Very cool indeed…. I can't wait for 2010 and for this masterpiece to come out! BRILLIANT."

Tornillo added: "I am not going to try to fill Udo Dirkschneider's shoes. I am different. What I will do is be true to myself. However, when we play the old stuff, I will try to also be true to the originals. The fans deserve that. They want to hear ACCEPT so I will do the best to make it sound like ACCEPT, be it on this new album or on stage."

Netherlands-based rockers THE DREAMSIDE will release their new album, Lunar Nature, through Lion Music on December 4th.

The label has issued the following press release:

Lion Music is pleased to announce the release of the new album from The Dreamside, entitled Lunar Nature, on December 4th.

The Dreamside have been on the gothic rock scene for now 15 years. Blending elements of gothic and metal music with female vocals and lyrics commonly centred on themes like the supernatural. The band have built a strong fan base thanks to their four previous albums.

The music of Lunar Nature can be described as atmospherical gothic rock with a good mixture of heavy guitars, electronical elements and a proper shot of alternative rock. All this interwoven with the remarkably voice of Kemi Vita (SATYRIAN) and her unique way to express emotions in very personal lyrics.

Lunar Nature continues were the predecessor Spin Moon Magic ended. The album is full of diversity and therefore once more a typical output from The Dreamside.

The album was recorded at the Excess studios in Rotterdam (AFTER FOREVER, GOREFEST) and contains 15 tracks including 'Seeds Of Pain', a collaboration with the US act INFORMATION SOCIETY and 'Unspoken', again with guest appearances by guitarist Karl Fieldhous of BORN FROM PAIN and Kenji Siratori.

The album has been mastered by Kai Blankenberg at the Skyline Studio’s in Düsseldorf/Germany (PARADISE LOST, DORO).

Together with Eva de Winkel, The Dreamside have produced a animation video to the track 'Sternenkind'.

Lunar Nature tracklisting:

'Everlasting'
'Silently Awake'
'When Stars Fall'
'Higher Ground'
'Sticks And Stones'
'Carry On'
'Lunar Nature'
'Hush'
'In Longing'
'Sternenkind'
'Serpents Kiss'
'Seeds Of Pain'
'Willing To Learn'
'Unspoken'
'Vlindertje'

Mistress Carrie of the Worcester/Boston, Massachusetts radio station WAAF has posted the following message on her official blog:

"One of the benefits of being the Music Director of WAAF is hearing new music WAY before anyone else!

"Today I got a chance to hear some of the new Slash [VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES] album that will be released in March of 2010. We should have the new single (which is going to feature Ozzy [Osbourne] on lead vocals) in January!

"This song was AWESOME! And the lyrics are going to piss off Axl and BLACK SABBATH!

"I heard Chris Cornell, Kid Rock, M. Shadows, and even Fergie lending their voices to Slash. They were all great! Also featured on the lineup… Lemmy, Iggy, Alice Cooper, Flea, Duff, Myles Kennedy and, you guessed, Dave Grohl!

"According to my 'source,' Slash wrote the 'blueprint' for the songs with someone specific in mind. Then he asked that person to get involved and help write and record the track!

"Every song has a bit of Slash and the other musicians in it… Very COOL!

"This album is going to be HUGE!"

Slash has just released a two-track CD single in Japan containing the song "Sahara" (featuring singer Koshi Inaba of the Japanese hard rock duo B'Z) and a version of the GN'R classic "Paradise City" (featuring CYPRESS HILL and Fergie [a.k.a. Stacy Ann Ferguson] of the BLACK EYED PEAS).

Slash recently told MusicRadar.com that he got almost every special guest he wanted to appear on his upcoming solo album, except for one: WHITE STRIPES singer/guitarist and DEAD WEATHER drummer Jack White. Slash revealed, "I wanted to get Jack White to sing on something, but he didn't want to sing. He said I'll play drums, I'll play guitar, but I don't wanna sing. He was one guy that I wanted to work with. Pretty much everyone else that I went after I managed to get."

"Slash" will see Roadrunner Records enter into a unique and innovative association with a U.K. media partner — the special-interest media group Future. In a brand new concept in record distribution the standard album release will be preceded by a "fan pack," in which the Roadrunner Records album will be bundled together with a highly collectable special issue of Future Publishing's Classic Rock magazine dedicated to Slash's career. This will be the first format of the album available anywhere in the world.

Slash tracked most of the CD with former NINE INCH NAILS drummer Josh Freese and ex-JANE'S ADDICTION bassist Chris Chaney.

EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet's AVANTASIA project will celebrate its comeback next year with a new epic masterpiece, to be released as two separate albums entitled "The Wicked Symphony" and "Angel Of Babylon".

So far Tobias has confirmed the following musicians to be part of the forthcoming AVANTASIA opus:

* Klaus Meine (SCORPIONS)
* Tim "Ripper" Owens (JUDAS PRIEST, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ICED EARTH)
* Eric Singer (KISS, ALICE COOPER)
* Michael Kiske (HELLOWEEN)
* Jorn Lande (MASTERPLAN, ARK, MILLENIUM)
* Bob Catley (MAGNUM)
* Sascha Paeth
* Felix Bohnke (EDGUY)
* Alex Holzwarth (RHAPSODY, SIEGES EVEN)
* Russell Allen (SYMPHONY X)

Regarding his decision to release the next AVANTASIA chapter in two separate CDs, Tobias said, "I have always given my very best, but this new chapter in AVANTASIA's history is too much and too ambitious to be just a regular album. I have worked on it for years now, and it has become even more than two albums!

"I knew that story would be spread out over two albums back then when we started working on it in 2006, 'cause we had written a real rock opera of over 20 songs even back then. But since then, we kept composing, and out came even bigger and better material.

"Looking at the music industry today with all the CD burning and downloading, I guess in the near future many of us traditional rock and metal bands won't be able to spend such a production budget. I am afraid I won't be able to afford so many guests and such a big production with orchestration and a choir and all that. That's why this production takes so much time; it may be the last big epic I will be able to afford, and I want it to be the biggest piece I have worked on so far."

Kiske has appeared on every AVANTASIA album so far, including the first two full-length releases, "The Metal Opera" (2001) and "The Metal Opera Pt. II" (2002).

On the topic of the new AVANTASIA album's musical direction, Sammet recently stated, "We've got quite many songs, and it ranges from epic ballads to metal opera. From pop to hard rock to folk to speed metal. My best friend, who co-wrote the story of 'The Metal Opera' back then, just listened to some of the tracks and he said that it will blow people away and enchant AVANTASIA fans and it will surely piss people off . . . It's just enchanting music. And these days honest and good music is kind of offending to some, that's pretty sick, isn't it? But as long as I get goose bumps hearing majestic music, I do not really care if I am fashionable or not."

The most recent album from AVANTASIA, "The Scarecrow", was one of the 20 best-selling albums in whole Europe during the fourth week of January 2008, according to a press release.

"The Scarecrow" was released on January 25, 2008 as a standard CD as well as rare picture (double) vinyl. It features a long list of guest musicians, including Bob Catley, ex-MASTERPLAN frontman Jorn Lande, ex-HELLOWEEN singer Michael Kiske, Alice Cooper, KISS drummer Eric Singer, SCORPIONS guitarist Rudolf Schenker and GAMMA RAY's Kai Hansen. The album produced a Top 10 German hit single, "Lost In Space", and entered the national charts in 15 countries, with the CD landing in the Top 10 in four countries.

"The Rise Of Denial", the new video from U.K. gothic metal pioneers PARADISE LOST, can be viewed here. The song comes off the band's new album, "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us", which registered the following first-week chart positions:

U.K.: #16 (Rock Albums)
Germany: #22
Finland: #22
Sweden: #29

The limited formats of this landmark gothic metal opus include two orchestral versions of the album tracks "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" and "Last Regret", which were recorded by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra in July 2008.

The limited-edition deluxe two-CD includes special packaging (DVD-sized Mediabook with O-Card in a special leather look) and a bonus track, "Cardinal Zero", on Disc 1 plus a separate bonus CD featuring the "Lost In Prague" tracks. All vinyl lovers will be delighted to hear that the album is available as a limited-edition gatefold LP, including the bonus track "Cardinal Zero", the orchestra mixes on a separate bonus 7" EP, the entire album on CD (in a blank sleeve), and an exclusive poster.

The highly anticipated follow-up to 2007's "In Requiem", "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" was recorded at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with producer Jens Bogren.

The album's artwork, which is based upon a "Danse Macabre" woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger (first published in 1538), was created by Stefan Wibbeke at Medialogistics (LACUNA COIL, POISONBLACK).

PARADISE LOST was forced to postone six shows on its current European tour due to a serious illness within guitarist Greg Mackintosh's family.

In a recent interview to Rocking.gr, Devon Graves discusses about the past, the present and the future of his music career.

Devon closes the chapter of a possible PSYCHOTIC WALTZ reunion, claiming that it would take a miracle to happen. “I have tried over and over again to make it happen. We were offered 20,000 Euros for a single concert. So if that couldn’t convince those guys, then I don’t think anything will.”

He also refers to the end of DEADSOUL TRIBE, while he praises his new band The Shadow Theory, as well as his new bandmates.

In addition, Demi Scott, keyboardist and composer of The Shadow Theory, for the first time tells the story behind the formation of the new supergroup, making an introduction to what we are about to listen and raising the bar high.

The Shadow Theory lineup includes Krisstofer Gildenlow (ex-PAIN OF SALVATION), Mike Terrana (ex-RAGE, TARJA, MASTERPLAN, MALMSTEEN, MCALPINE) and guitarist Arne Schuppner.

Lion Music has announced the signing of ACACIA AVENUE for their self-titled debut album, set for release in January 2010.

Led by Danish guitarist and songwriter Torben Enevoldsen (SECTION A, FATAL FORCE) the initial idea for the album came about from Torben writing in a more melodic hard rock nature than his other bands. Quickly the idea emerged to do a whole album in this style but to spice things up Torben called in a few good friends to participate as singers and co-writers.

Tony Mills (TNT, SHY) was the first to join in and together they wrote and recorded 'Don’t Call Me Tonight' and 'Wait No More'. Geir Rönning (RADIOACTIVE, PRISONER) began writing with Torben immediately after and together they penned the songs 'Hold On', 'No Looking Back' and 'Digging'. Enevoldsen wrote the rest of the songs by himself, but Torben Lysholm (PANGEA, MYSTERELL) wrote the lyrics for 'Just Wanna Be With You' and sang vocals on 'Can’t Make You Stay' and the Japanese bonus track 'Cold'. Finally Lars Säfsund (W.O.A.) performed the vocals on 'An Illusion'.

Apart from playing all guitars, bass and keyboards on the album, Torben Enevoldsen sang backing vocals on a few songs and also did the lead vocals on 'Jamie´s In Love' and 'Let Go'. Thomas Heintzelmann (Section A, DECOY) played drums and Carsten Neumann (SAVAGE AFFAIR) helped out with the bass.

Acacia Avenue is sure to please fans of strong hard melodic rock with each track being home to catchy vocal melodies, strong instrumentation and a crisp clean production.

Austrian symphonic melodic metal act SERENITY has issued the following update:

"We are in the middle of the songwriting process for the next big SERENITY release and we are already working with our producer Oliver Philips of EVERON and our artworks designer Gustavo Sazes on the new material. We will take some more time right after the THRESHOLD tour for finishing all new songs and for polishing structures, voice changes, soloing, vocal lines and of course lyrics. This will probably take time till January and we will head to the studio when we are ready. Luckily, we are in a position where we are able to enter studio without a fixed time schedule a year ahead. And our pre-production will already include all orchestrations and voicings, so we won't need that much time for orchestrations and these things. This will save us at least two months!!!!

"We do everything to make this release the best SERENITY album ever and there's defenitely the potential therefor. But there's still a hard way to go. The recordings itself are not the biggest problem, but the songwriting seems to be a bit harder this time round... maybe because of our increased quality understanding. Who knows..."

Swedish hard rockers THE POODLES have issued the following update:

"After two great weeks on the road, THE POODLES are sad to announce the cancellation of the rest of the tour. Jakob [Samuel; vocals] has become very sick and his illness is unfortunately preventing us from continuing. After struggling through the last two shows on pure will and heavy medication, the doctors have given him strict orders to rest and to not strain his voice.

"It has been extremely hard to come to this decision and the band sincerely hopes to be able to come back to do the remaining shows at a later date.

"We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we are already looking into the possibility to come back in March."

With a reputation forged in fire, brimstone and magic, KILLING JOKE have long been one of rock's most iconic and influential outfits. Now, 30 years since first bonding in blood, the original lineup of Jaz Coleman (vocals), Geordie (guitar), Youth (bass) and Paul Ferguson (drums) is set to start work on its 13th studio album — the first fruits of a new worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records. Due in April 2010, this latest set of recordings (title to be confirmed) will see the aforementioned musicians sharing studio space for the first time in 27 years, having already road-tested their relationship with sold-out shows around the world, kicking off in Tokyo last autumn.

Over the years, the band members have chosen to develop their talents in a variety of ways: triple Grammy winner Jaz Coleman, for instance, has established an international reputation working with some of the world's greatest symphony orchestras, while Martin "Youth" Glover has become one of the U.K.'s most celebrated producers, supervising albums from THE VERVE and PRIMAL SCREAM, amongst others, as well as achieving major success as one half of highly-regarded duo THE ORB.

Covered by METALLICA, FOO FIGHTERS and more, KILLING JOKE's apocalyptic vision continues to draw praise from such high-profile supporters as Jimmy Page and Billy Corgan, and the band's considerable musical legacy can be heard in the works of NIRVANA, MINISTRY, NINE INCH NAILS and the like — artists whose rise to fame never saw them cutting ties with the underground/alternative scene.

Once described by Paul Ferguson as "the sound of the earth vomiting," KILLING JOKE is now poised to take its music of resistance to a whole new level, both in the studio and on the road.

Former CELTIC FROST and current TRIPTYKON frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer has issued the following update:

"We finished mixing TRIPTYKON's first album at Woodshed Studio in Germany late last week. I have now returned to Switzerland, where we will have it mastered by Walter Schmid at his Oakland Recording studio in Winterthur, Switzerland, on Monday. Walter already mastered CELTIC FROST's 'Monotheist' in 2006 and thus bestowed upon it its exceptionally loud and powerful sound. He managed to do this without cranking the album into unwanted distortion or clipping, i.e., without falling prone to the pitfalls of the loudness wars of recent years. The test master he did of one of the songs from 'Eparistera Daimones' promises the same approach.

"This will mark the musical culmination of some two years of work on this project. Regardless of whether one will hate or love the music we have created with TRIPTYKON, 'Eparistera Daimones' is an album with a very unique background and a truly unique history. Neither of which have been contrived. Come what may, nothing will ever be able to diminish that."

MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil spoke with Gus Griesinger from Backstageaxxess.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Backstageaxxess.com: You're doing a bunch of solo dates, including a show at the Westbury Theater on November 25th. What songs can the fans expect? Will there be songs off of Exposed or Carved in Stone?

Neil: "We do a little bit of everything. We don’t really have a set list. Obviously, we do some Mötley Crüe hits, some obscure stuff that Motley never plays, some stuff from the Exposed record, and some cool cover songs.

Backstageaxxess.com: So it does sound like it’s a bit of everything.

Neil: "Yes, a little bit of everything. It’s all about going out and having some fun!

Backstageaxxess.com: Will there be a possible solo CD with you and your band?

Neil: "Actually, we are going into the studio in about three weeks. We should have the first single out by January and the album should be out by March.

Backstageaxxess.com: Can you tell us a little bit about the album?

Neil: "Right now it’s called Tattoos & Tequila. It’s a rock and roll record! What else can you say?

Backstageaxxess.com: So the fans can expect something in March is what you are saying?

Neil: "You will hear the first single ‘Tattoos & Tequila' in January so just a couple of months.

Roope Latvala of CHILDREN OF BODOM has recorded a couple of guest guitar solos for SOULGRIND's ninth album, "The Tuoni Pathway", which is scheduled for release in early 2010 via an U.K.'s Femme Metal Records.

Commented SOULGRIND guitarist Lord Heikkinen: "We have done the best album to date, only some very final touches on mixing to do and it is done. Nine tracks of beauty, heaviness and darkness.

"It took two months to complete and we had some hard times and some fun times.

"Overall, it is a one helluva album.

"Single shall be available in early January. We might do a CD single, but at least a web single with covers shall be available then. Also video for 'The Call Of Dancing Waters' has been done. Cutting is on its way and it should be finished early 2010."

Finnish metallers GLORIA MORTI will once again enter SoundSpiral studios on November 21 with producer Juho Räihä to begin recording their third full-length album. The follow-up to last year's "Eryx" will contain "ten tracks of the most diverse and crushing GLORIA MORTI material to date," according to the band.

Entitled "Anthems Of Annihilation", GLORIA MORTI's next CD will be "a concept album about mankind making an irreversible mistake in trying to overcome all of its biggest problems. The storyline borders from a war between men and machines to the slavery and exploitation of a whole generation. The lyrical theme takes a stance on current problems and is a reminder of the stupidity of man."

Working songtitles set to appear on "Anthems Of Annihilation" include:

* The Solution Called War
* Awakening Of A Discordant Machine
* Infiltration
* Swallowed By Defeat
* Obey
