The track "Convictions and Contradictions" from Norway’s classical/progressive metal supergroup WINDS' upcoming album "Prominence and Demise" (due out September 4 on The End Records), has been posted at the official The End Records Myspace page.

Commented WINDS keyboardist Andy Winter, "We are now only three weeks away from the release date of our new album 'Prominence and Demise' and with that in mind, we think it is a suitable time to post one of the new songs on the web for everyone to hear. The new track is called 'Convictions and Contradictions'.

"All the tracks on the new record are distinctly different from one another and this track definitely contains some unique contributions from everyone in the band. It's also what we in the band refer to as the 'duet' song, as it features synchronized vocals from Agnete (M. Kirkevaag; MADDER MORTEM) and Lars."

Finnish "fantasy metal" band BATTLELORE has issued the following update:

"At the moment we are sharpening our swords and learning the arcane spells for the new songs. Our cunning plan is to enter the depths of the recording studio in spring 2008 to summon the next ominous BATTLELORE album."

BATTLELORE released its fourth album, "Evernight", in North America on March 13, 2007 via Napalm Records. The CD was issued in Europe in February.

The follow-up to 2005's "Third Age of the Sun", "Evernight" was recorded at MusicBros Studio and was produced by Miitri Aaltonen, who previously worked with the Finnish "fantasy metal" band on their first two CDs, "...Where The Shadows Lie" (2002) and "Sword's Song" (2003). The mastering duties were handled at Finnvox Studios.

CIRCLE II CIRCLE, the band led by ex-SAVATAGE vocalist Zak Stevens, has signed a worldwide deal with Intromental Management.

"I'm thrilled to be working with a band that has not only established their reputation in the metal scene as a premiere talent, but is poised to take it to the next level with our help. I have been a fan of Zak's ever since his days in the mighty SAVATAGE when I first heard 'Edge of Thorns'," said Intromental's managing director Claus Jensen. Stevens added, "We're very excited about the limitless potential that this cooperation presents for us. Intromental's reputation and professionalism is outstanding. Their new partnership with Glenn Harveston directing operations in the USA was also a major factor in our signing with Intromental. We're looking forward to great things to come."

North American promotional director Glenn Harveston, has declared his intentions for the band as well: "We are going to get the record in the stores and the band out on the road here in the States. Period. We are going to kick off the new year right with CIRCLE II CIRCLE, CIRCUS MAXIMUS, and MANTICORA joining forces for a North American mini-tour in early 2008.'

CIRCLE II CIRCLE's last album, "Burden of Truth", was released in October via AFM Records.

Spinefarm Records will be launching in the UK this autumn, kicking off its campaign with deluxe versions of the first five albums from NIGHTWISH — the multi-platinum Finnish outfit whose latest CD, "Dark Passion Play", is scheduled for release late September/early October (depending on territory). The albums in question are as follows:

"Angels Fall First" (1997)
"Oceanborn" (1998)
"Wishmaster" (2000)
"Over The Hills And Far Away" (2001)
"Century Child" (2002)

All of these reissues are fully endorsed by the band and will come complete with bonus tracks and videos, significantly expanded artwork, sleevenotes, messages, autographs and special packaging. There will also be a limited run of double albums, pressed onto coloured vinyl.

OZZY OSBOURNE's latest album, "Black Rain", is being reissued today (Tuesday, August 14) by Epic in a new jewel-case package containing the full booklet with lyrics and new color cover art and photos. It will also contain CD extra bonus content featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the "Black Rain" photo shoot.

"Black Rain", which originally came out on May 22, was released in "eco-friendly" packaging, with the CD sleeve made out of recycled paper. In addition, the record came out without a booklet to further save paper, with the lyrics, credits and other inside material available to buyers of the CD at SonyMusic.com.

PORCUPINE TREE are to release a new EP in September called "Nil Recurring". It will feature 4 tracks (just under 30 minutes of music) that were written during the "Fear of a Blank Planet" sessions, including the title track featuring Robert Fripp on guitar, and "Cheating the Polygraph", which was premiered on the 2006 tour, but subsequently left off the "Fear of a Blank Planet" album.

Full track listing is:

Nil Recurring (6.08)
Normal (7.07)
Cheating the Polygraph (7.06)
What Happens Now? (8.23)

These four tracks will also be added to the Ltd edition Vinyl edition of "Fear of a Blank Planet" as well as the definitive 5.1 DVDA edition. The tracklisting for both is:

Both the "Nil Recurring" and "Fear of a Blank Planet" DVDA will be officially released on 25th September, the vinyl edition is slated for release in October. The PT Store will be taking pre-orders soon.

DEAD TO THIS WORLD, the speed/thrash/black metal project led by former IMMORTAL bassist Iscariah, has inked a deal with Dark Essence Records. The group's debut album, "First Strike for Spiritual Renewance", is scheduled for release on November 19. The CD is being produced by Bjørnar E Nielsen at Nielsen's Conclave Media Studios in Bergen.

Nielsen, who has produced albums by bands such as HELHEIM, SULPHUR, DEATHCON, AMPERA and VULTURE INDUSTRIES (of whom he is also a member), recently built a new studio with ENSLAVED members Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal.

DEAD TO THIS WORLD was originally founded by Iscariah (NECROPHAGIA, ex-IMMORTAL) as a solo project, but was expanded to a full lineup, releasing a three-track demo in 2005. Following the departure of their drummer, Iscariah recently announced that former GORGOROTH member Kvitrafn (SIGFADER, WARDRUNA, JOTUNSPOR, ex-SAHG) would be joining the band to record the new album. Tracks from the original demo can be heard on the band's MySpace page

Reunited Norwegian black metallers IMMORTAL have issued the following update:

"After the 7 Dates Of Blashyrkh have come to an end with a triumphant performance at Wacken Open Air, IMMORTAL announces three final shows exclusively for Norway in 2007, before the band starts concentrating on the long-awaited next studio album.

"IMMORTAL will headline the Hole In The Sky festival in Bergen on August 25. This will be the first show in their hometown in seven years! October 6, the band will headline the Motstøy festival in Notodden, which is open even for those under 18, and October 20, the band will play their first ever show in Trondheim, during UKA-07.

"The battles rages on — see you at these final shows of 2007!"

Nebraska-based power metallers CELLADOR have posted another demo track on their MySpace Page. The as-yet-untitled song is expected to appear on the band's next album, which will be recorded between November and December in Tampa, Florida with producer Erik Rutan (MORBID ANGEL, HATE ETERNAL) and mixed by Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, DEVILDRIVER, BURY YOUR DEAD).

Commented guitarist Chris Petersen: "The length of the clip is made up of previews of two completely different sections of the song. The first being parts where vocals will eventually be recorded over, and the second part of the clip is part of the instrumental/solo section! This is the most extreme song we've EVER written!!"

WATCH ME BLEED, the new German band featuring Chris Rodens (vocals; KICKDOWN), Markus Pohl (guitar; SYMPHORCE, MYSTIC PROPHECY), Mark Knaus (bass; KICKDOWN) and Steffen Theurer (drums; SYMPHORCE, CHINCHILLA), has made its three-song promotional CD available for download via the group's official web site. The effort was produced, engineered and recorded by Sebastian Rodens and was mixed by Sebastian Rodens at Schaltraum Studios in Ulm. The track listing is as follows:

01. Rise
02. SixSixSeven
03. The Game Is On

Formed in the winter of 2006, WATCH ME BLEED came together to fulfill the band's "vision of agressive, modern metal," according to the group's official bio. In February 2007 they hit the stage for the first time... opening for STONE SOUR in front of 750 screamin' metalheads.

Germany's SQUEALER A.D. has recruited former MIND-ASHES frontman Norbert Vornam as the replacement for the recently departed Gus Chambers. In addition, the band has apparently reverted to its original moniker, SQUEALER.

Locomotive issued SQUEALER A.D.'s latest album, "Confrontation Street", in North America on May 22.

Released in Europe last October via AFM Records, "Confrontation Street" is "the hardest album in the band's history," according to a press release — a directional shift which was planned even before the passing of former former SQUEALER singer Andy "Henner" Allendörfer, who died in a car accident in 2005. Chambers and new drummer Martin Buchwalter (drums) "did an amazing job in the studio and brought lots of ideas and energy to the new material."

According to the cover story in the latest issue of the U.K.'s Rock-A-Rolla magazine, American "drone metal" act SUNNO))) will start work on its next album in October. The band's Greg Anderson told the publication, "We've spent a lot of time recently just discussing some ideas and where we're gonna go with it and we've had some really good meetings about what we're gonna do and who we'd like to collaborate with. We're gonna try put all that into motion in October and I'm guessing that we'll probably have something ready to go sometime in April or May or summer for the actual release of new material."

FREEDOM CALL's video for the song "Far Away" has been posted at SPV.de (Real Media). The track comes off the German melodic metal band's latest album, "Dimensions", which was released in April via SPV Records. Most of the CD was recorded at the FC studios in Nürnberg. The drum parts were cut at the Area 51 in Celle by Daniel Zimmermann with the help of Tommy Newton (HELLOWEEN, KAMELOT, VICTORY), who also mixed and mastered "Dimensions". The cover artwork was designed by Paul Raymond Gregory (SAXON, MOLLY HATCHET, BLIND GUARDIAN).

FREEDOM CALL will spend most of the fall touring Europe with NOCTURNAL RITES, PINK CREAM 69 and NIGHTMARE (in three separate legs).

The exclusive artwork for the Japanese version of vocalist ROB ROCK's (ex-IMPELLITTERI, DRIVER, JOSHUA) new solo album, "Garden of Chaos", has been posted at this location. This artwork, created by Liza Rock Designs, is only available in Japan/Asia via JVC/Victor Records. The album's regular artwork can be seen here.

Due in Japan on August 22 via Victor Entertainment/JVC Music, in Europe on September 23 through AFM Records and in North America on October 23 through Candlelight Records USA, "Garden of Chaos" was produced by ROB ROCK guitarist Carl-Johan Grimmark and co-produced by Roy Z (JUDAS PRIEST, BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD) and Rob Rock. Rob wrote seven of the 11 tracks with longtime partner Roy Z, and the other tracks were co-written by Rob with Gus G. (FIREWIND), Carl-Johan Grimmark, Bob Rossi, and Liza Rock. The album was mixed and mastered at Hansen Studios in Denmark by Jacob Hansen.

The artwork for MEGADETH's upcoming box set, "Warchest", has been posted online at this location. The 4-CD+DVD collection features more than six hours of digitally remastered content, hand-selected by Mustaine, including 30 audio and video tracks making their global release debuts, and an additional three tracks that have never before been released in the U.S. "Warchest"'s October 2 release caps Mustaine and Capitol/EMI's in-depth MEGADETH catalog remastering and restoration campaign, which has encompassed the band's Capitol studio albums, while also adding new audio and video collections to the band's arsenal.

Armed with digitally remastered career-defining album cuts, soundtrack and compilation sides, unreleased live and studio performances and interview clips spanning more than 20 years, "Warchest" is the ultimate MEGADETH compendium. Included in the trove are a full 75-minute live set from a night on the 1990 "Clash of the Titans" tour and a DVD of highlights from a 1992 stop supporting "Countdown To Extinction" — two historical shows, both making their release debuts on "Warchest". The set's custom "vac-u-form" packaging showcases a 3-D ammo belt on its front and a 36-page booklet with an essay by Ian Christe and a comprehensive discography, complemented by an array of photos and images.

Dave Mustaine says, "This is, by far, the best and most comprehensive look at all-things-MEGA if you had to get a crash-course in metal! With some of the most famous, and infamous, shows and any of the fluid, or flammable, line-ups, listening to this box set when it was all done was an adrenalin surge. I have got to hand it to my past band mates, they played great for how turbulent times could get in the blink of an eye, and I absolutely love every moment of this collection."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD has revealed the track listing for its new, self-titled album, which will follow up the band's breakthrough 2005 effort, "City of Evil". Due on October 16, the CD is the California metalcore act's first attempt at self-producing.

"Avenged Sevenfold" track listing:

04. Afterlife
05. Gunslinger
06. Unbound the Wild Ride

09. A Little Piece of Heaven
10. Dear God

Watch a short teaser for the album below.

AVENGED vocalist M. Shadows told MTV.com last month that the band had no problem producing the CD themselves. "We met with a lot of different producers and felt that we would be going more in their direction, rather than doing what we wanted to do," Shadows said. "We wanted to make our record. We've spent a lot of time in the studio, and we've learned how to do everything. It was the only way we would be able to get our ideas across, 100 percent, to our fans."

A limited-edition version of OVERKILL's new album, "Immortalis", will include a bonus DVD containing footage from the band's August 2, 2007 performance at the Wacken Open Air festival in Wacken, Germany. More information will be made available soon.

As previously reported, Bodog Music has set an October 9 release date for "Immortalis". The group's collaboration with Bodog reunites OVERKILL with Jonny and Marsha Zazula, previous owners of Megaforce Records, the label responsible for putting metal on the map and bringing OVERKILL's New Jersey thrash metal to the world. The Zazulas are now a part of the Bodog Music team in the United States.

EYES OF EDEN, the new band featuring Waldemar Sorychta (GRIP INC., DESPAIR), will release its debut album, "Faith" (Century Media), on the following dates:

Monday, Aug 20: UK, France, Denmark, Norway, Rest of Europe
Wednesday, Aug 22: Sweden, Finland, Hungary
Tuesday, Aug 28: Spain, Portugal
Friday, Sep 14: Italy

"Faith", is described in a press release as "an exciting orchestral masterpiece of gothic rock/metal. The band is not only profiting from Sorychta's outstanding producer and songwriter skills, but also his gift to discover a young talent like [singer] Franziska Huth." The CD also features a guest appearance on drums by Gas Lipstick of H.I.M. fame.

"Faith" track listing:

01. Winter Night (3:35)
02. When Gods Fall (3:37)
