BLIND GUARDIAN Frontman Issues New Album Update

BLIND GUARDIAN Frontman Issues New Album Update

Vocalist Hansi Kürsch of long-running German metallers BLIND GUARDIAN has issued the following update:

"We finally have started the production of BLIND GUARDIAN studio album number nine. Frederik [Ehmke; drums] is literally rushing through the songs already. Who knows, this time we may deliver the finished master prior to the ultimate deadline (set by an about-to-get-insane record company after thousands of broken promises to finally deliver the new record within the next days). Well, Frederik isn't Marcus [Siepen; guitar], who isn't André [Olbrich; guitar], who most certainly is not Hansi. So there still lies trouble (i.e. delays) ahead.

"Back to Frederik, back to the production: We started sometime last week and Frederik accomplished drums for some seriously tricky tracks. If I am correct, he has two more tracks to go and should be finished during the next days. Altogether there are 11 songs to work on.

"As mentioned last time, we do have a strong amount of heavy GUARDIAN hymns, which come along with such a harsh intensity that I am sometimes surprised myself. There is a fine balance of extremely fast songs and ultimate epic stuff. 'Wheel Of Time' would be one example for the last mentioned. The song contains many surprises — I am deadly honest about that, so mark my words here. Lyrically I am of course tempted to deal with Robert Jordan's great 'Wheel Of Time' story, one of the best fantasy series ever.

"If you asked me with which song the number could be compared, I most probably would say 'The Script For My Requiem' or 'And Then There Was Silence'. This tune does really have the potential to mess with these two songs.

"As you most probably figure, I am really excited about the new stuff and I cannot await to hear the final result somewhere in April 2010, when we will have finished mixing. We are targeting a late summer, early fall release, which means you still have to wait a little bit. To make the long waiting more comfortable we are at least intending to constantly provide you with information about the album's progress and supply you with small samples of noise from time to time. Right at the moment, we are working on an accurate set up to make that possible. Expect something before Christmas. As it looks now, I will start first vocals next Monday. Therefore I need to do some more research for proper lyrics. G.R.R. Martin, Robert Jordan, Michael Moorcock and so on, they all knew how to write a good story or two..."

FINNTROLL Completes Work On New Album

FINNTROLL Completes Work On New Album

Finnish folk metallers FINNTROLL have completed work on their new album, "Mot Skuggornas Värld", for an early 2010 release via Century Media Records.

Commented keyboardist Henri "Trollhorn" Sorvali: "After constructing a shitload of more stuff, we went to Finnvox and had a nice session with certain M. Jussila who did a splendid job, once again. And holy Jesus H. Christ, this sounds good! I'd say it's 1488 times better-sounding album with better songs than ever. Then again, it's only me. Seriously, it's good. Seriously. It's that good. Believe me."

EVANESCENCE\

EVANESCENCE\'s WILL HUNT Laying Down Drum Tracks For New METHODS OF MAYHEM Album

Video footage of Will Hunt (EVANESCENCE, STATIC-X, DARK NEW DAY, TOMMY LEE) laying down drum tracks on the new METHODS OF MAYHEM album at MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer and METHODS OF MAYHEM mastermind Tommy Lee's recording studio called The Atrium in Calabasas, California can be viewed here.

In an interview with TuneLab.com, Hunt stated about the upcoming METHODS OF MAYHEM CD, "People are gonna be very surprised when they hear that record. It's very different than anything [Tommy's] done. It's still very cool, there's some very melodic, commercial stuff on it, but the bulk of the record is very heavy, grungy, DEFTONES-sounding stuff. And it's just really cool."

METHODS OF MAYHEM's "Public Mayhem" album collaboration project was launched on October 5. Lee and METHODS producer Scott Humphrey posted isolated instrument tracks, or stems, from the upcoming album on the web site ThePublicRecord.com. Anyone with a great musical idea is invited to play a part in helping to achieve true "Public Mayhem", i.e. collaborate on the album. A wide range of formats are available to work with, including RiffWorks, WAV, Logic, GarageBand, Pro Tools and the Four Track 3.0 iPhone application. Participants will also have a chance to perform with METHODS OF MAYHEM at their record-release show.

"Public Mayhem" is set for release in early 2010.

FOR THE SUFFERING Completes Work On New Album

New Mexico's female-fronted band FOR THE SUFFERING has completed work on its new album, "Life Without A Cure". More information regarding the CD's release date and online availability will be released soon.

FOR THE SUFFERING's self-titled debut was released on February 24 via Crash Music.

According to a press release, FOR THE SUFFERING has been a force to be reckoned with in the West Texas/Eastern New Mexico scene since early 2003 (performing under the old moniker A DAY TO FALL). After undergoing a few lineup changes over the years, the band has come into its own and solidified its sound a mixture of heavy grooves, bursts of head spinning speed, and haunting melodies.

DE PROFUNDIS: New Album Artwork Revealed

The cover artwork for "A Bleak Reflection", the sophomore album from the London, U.K.-based progressive extreme metal band DE PROFUNDIS, can be viewed here. According to guitarist Roman Subbotin, the artwork — by artist Darryll Jones — "came out being an extremely powerful and emotive addition to the music. Indeed, the artwork tells the story of the album — that's probably as close as I will ever come to saying that this is a concept album..."

"A Bleak Reflection" will be released in early 2010 and will come with a "very cool" 12-page booklet. The CD was produced by Fernando Pereira Lopes (MISANTHROPE, ORAKLE) and DE PROFUNDIS and was mixed at Russ Russell's Parlour Studios in July. Subbotin states, "[the new album] represents a significant moment for our musical evolution. We've all worked really hard and, in my humble opinion, achieved rather spectacular results."

"A Bleak Reflection" track listing:

01. The Ephemeral Burden
02. Ablaze In Autumn’s Fire
03. Nocturnal Splendour
04. Cease To Be
05. Crimson Black Bleeding

RAGE: Limited-Edition Digibook Version Of \'Strings To A Web\' Detailed

Veteran German metallers RAGE will release their new album, "Strings To A Web", on February 5, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded at Twilight Hall Studio and was produced by Charlie Bauerfeind (BLIND GUARDIAN, HAMMERFALL). The cover artwork was created by Thomas Ewerhard (AVANTASIA, THERION), and it shows the soundchaser as a spider, caught in a web.

The limited-edition digibook version of "Strings To A Web" will include a high-quality DVD including 15 live clips. The main portion of the DVD will consist of the "best-of" show RAGE played at the Wacken Open Air festival in 2009, including guest appearances by Hansi Kürsch (BLIND GUARDIAN), Schmier (DESTRUCTION) and Jen Majura (BLACK THUNDER LADIES).

The tracklist is as follows:

01. Carved In Stone
02. Higher Than The Sky
03. Set This World On Fire (featuring Hansi Kürsch)
04. All I Want (featuring Hansi Kürsch)
05. Invisible Horizons (featuring Hansi Kürsch)
06. Lord Of The Flies (featuring Jen Majura)
07. From The Cradle To The Grave (featuring Jen Majura)
08. Prayers Of Steel (featuring Schmier)
09. Suicide (featuring Schmier)
10. Down (featuring Schmier)
11. Soundchaser

In addition there will be four more live clips:

12. Set This World On Fire (Live at the "Masters of Rock 2009")
13. All I Want (Live at the "Masters of Rock 2009")
14. Carved In Stone (Live in Sofia 2009)
15. Never Give Up (Rage Race Special)

"I am really proud of the album, we hardly ever sounded more inspired and it is an absolute highlight in our career," says bassist/vocalist Peavy Wagner. Drummer André Hilgers adds, "This albums show all the different faces and characters and I call it the most enormous and multifarious record I ever recorded."

"Strings To A Web" includes melodic and anthemic tracks such as "Into The Light" and "The Beggar's Last Dime", as well as powerful thrashers like "Purified" and "Tomorrow Never Comes". But the heart of the record comes in the shape of the 16-minute masterpiece "Empty Hollow", a progressive fairytale that unites everything RAGE is about.

"You can compare 'Empty Hollow' to our 'Lingua Mortis Suite' from the 'Speak Of The Dead' record," says guitarist Victor Smolski. "This song was recorded with an orchestra and is divided into five parts.

"As a band we have discovered a lot of new possibilities and elements, even in Peavy's vocals, my way of playing guitar or the arrangements in André's drumming."

Dayal Patterson of the English magazine Metal Hammer decribed the record as an "intense, frantic and technical assault tempered by clean sung choruses and harmonies!" His spanish collegue Sergi Ramos of Metal Hammer stated, "Everything you love about today's RAGE sound plus a dose of old-school thrown in for good measure."

TARJA TURUNEN Contributes To Finnish Christmas Album; Audio Available

Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen recently recorded three songs for a Finnish Christmas album, produced by Olli Ahvenlahti. Entitled "Maailman Kauneimmat Joululaulut" (English: The World's Most Beautiful Christmas Songs), the CD is a charity project for missionary workers in Finland. It will be released on November 18 via Universal Music.

The three tracks Tarja appears on have surfaced on YouTube and can be streamed below.

Tarja Turunen has set "What Lies Beneath" as the working title of her new solo CD, tentatively due in early 2010. She says, "With [2007's] 'My Winter Storm', I chose the name of the album in the early stages and that helped me to create the concept for the album. With the new album, I decided to do it the same way, so I searched for an inspiring title and all the songs are one way or another related to it."

MERCENARY Parts Ways With Drummer, Singer And Keyboardist

MERCENARY Parts Ways With Drummer, Singer And Keyboardist

Guitarist Jakob Mølbjerg of Danish metallers MERCENARY has issued the following update:

"Well, well, changes that have been underway for a long time can sometimes come about in the blink of an eye.

"Last week, Mike [Park Nielsen, drums] told us that he wanted to leave the band permanently. The rest of us did some serious thinking and soul-searching, sat down and had 'the big talk' and came to the agreement that the only way to continue the band was to part ways with Mikkel [Sandager, vocals] and Morten [Sandager, keyboards] as well.

"During the last year we have been working on a new album and it has become clear that we no longer share the same vision and enthusiasm about the direction and the future of the band. Martin [Buus, lead guitar], René [Pedersen, bass/vocals], Mike and I wanted to play faster, heavier and more modern (yet old school) material, but for the band as a whole this evidently didn't work out.

"In many ways this is a painful choice. But it also allows us to close a chapter in the band's career and our shared lives, that we're all immensely proud off, in a dignified way that doesn't let ourselves or our fans down. Nobody would be better off if we released an album that we didn't all truly believe in and felt as fiercely passionate about as we have done about all of our past albums.

"Rest assured, however, that René, Martin and I will continue MERCENARY in the best way we possibly can and with a newfound sense of integrity and purpose. So far we have had an immensely fruitful songwriting process with lots of mutual inspiration, understanding, synergy — and most importantly — good, plain, old-fashioned fun, which is what it all ought to be about. We feel that we’re finally all in agreement about the future direction of the band and that this will be the strongest and most united incarnation of MERCENARY ever. In terms of creativity, motivation and the everyday-practical-getting-shit-done-aspects, the band remains fully intact. The new MERCENARY will be back to shatter everybody's balls in 2010.

"On behalf of all of the guys, we'd like to give our most humble and sincere thanks to all the fans, bands, press, promoters and others who have supported us throughout the years and made this one hell of a damn fine ride. As a final nod from the old incarnation of MERCENARY to the fans, we've included a video [see below] from our tour with ARCH ENEMY, where Mikkel joined them on stage in Italy for the track 'Burning Angel' as this tour and this experience was in many ways the highlight of what we managed to achieve together."

ORPHANED LAND: New Album Release Date Announced

ORPHANED LAND: New Album Release Date Announced

Israel's progressive folk metal masters ORPHANED LAND will release their highly anticipated fourth studio opus, "The Never Ending Way Of ORwarriOR", in Europe on January 25, 2010 via Century Media Records. Mixed by Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE, OPETH), who is also responsible for several keyboard parts on the new CD, the effort is a sophisticated concept album which takes ORPHANED LAND's unique brand of exotic, heavy music to soaring new heights in terms of complexity and catchiness.

Commented vocalist Kobi Farhi: "As people that were born into the tragedy of our region, we have always been devoted to creating harmony between conflicts, a musical heaven on earth, a tango between God and Satan. Even in the album's artwork we combined Hebrew and Arabic, regardless of the fight between Jews and Muslims. I found a Jordanian guy, specialized in calligraphic artwork. He took letters from Hebrew and Arabic and moulded them in his art to create a symbol of peace. Same goes for our band photo, where we portrayed a synergy between the three monotheistic religions that believe in the same God and yet ridiculously have been killing each other for centuries 'in the name of God' and turned the holy land into an orphaned land. Naturally, we continued this idea of union on a musical level as well and the result is as always crazy, it's a miracle — in our concerts: our Jewish fans sing in Arabic and our Muslim fans sing in Hebrew, brave friendships have spawned and our Middle Eastern metal music destroys all this political witchcraft we have been trapped in for so long. This is a musical journey of hope in lands of war, creating heaven on earth, building a new Jerusalem."

An audio teaser for "The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR" is available for streaming on the band's official web site.

THREE (3) release new album ‘Revisions’ next week Monday! New song posted online!

Revisions is the title of THREE’s latest work and, as described by the band, is a collection that “taps the rich history of 3 by re-examining some of the earlier songs that made us who we are today. Some of them are known from early live bootlegs, others existed only on cassette and were transferred to the internet by dedicated fans. In any event, these are songs that we felt deserved a second chance, a “revision” if you will. Our passion for music is truly the common thread that binds our diverse body of work.”

Check out the brand new song ‘Halloween’ HERE!

THREE just filmed a brand new video for the song Rabid Animals with the help of their fans who participated to the video shooting interactively. Click HERE for some impressions.

Tracklisting "Revisions" (cover):

1. Anyone Human
2. Rabid Animals
3. The Better Half Of Me
4. Automobile

ENTHRONED Begins Recording New Album

ENTHRONED Begins Recording New Album

Belgian black metallers ENTHRONED have issued the following update:

"The recording session of 'Pentagrammaton' [the new ENTHRONED album] has started! The drums are almost finished and I must say that Garghuf (ex-GORGOROTH) is doing an amazing job!! 'Pentagrammaton' is on the way to give you one of ENTHRONED's best releases!"

According to ENTHRONED, "The concept of 'Pentagrammaton' will deal with lived fact through Satanism and the occult and the musical direction is the logic[al] fellow-up to 'Tetra Karcist' [2007] with some elements of albums such as 'Prophecies Of Pagan Fire' [1995] and 'Towards The Skullthrone Of Satan' [1997]."

"Pentagrammaton" is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2010 via Regain Records.

ENTHRONED recently parted ways with Nguaroth (guitar) and Ahephaim (drums) and replaced them with Neraath and Garghuf, respectively.

ANTIMATTER: \

ANTIMATTER: \'Epitaph\' Video Available

"Epitaph", the latest videofrom ANTIMATTER, can be viewed here.The clip was directed by Fethi Karaduman. The track comes off the band's 2005 album, "Planetary Confinement".

ANTIMATTER is the U.K. project whose recording/touring lineup has included current and former members of ANATHEMA. The group's fourth album, "Leaving Eden", was released in April 2007.

After Duncan Patterson left the band in 2005, Mick Moss gathered a number of guest musicians around him — among others Danny Cavanagh (ANATHEMA) — to record the most depressive and heaviest album of ANTIMATTER's discography. This is attested by the dynamics of "Leaving Eden", the increased use of electric guitars and forceful drumming.
