VIRGIN STEELE: \'Age Of Consent\' Reissue Due In NovemberSPV/Steamhammer will re-release VIRGIN STEELE's "Age Of Consent" album in November. This 2CD digipak reissue comes with bonus tracks, five of them previously unreleased, and a massive booklet with new liner notes and previously unseen photos. It will also be made available in vinyl for the first time since 1988.
Release dates:
Germany: November 25
Rest Of Europe: November 28
USA/Canada: November 22
Originally released in October 1988, "Age Of Consent" was the fourth full-length album by VIRGIN STEELE. It took eight months to be completed, in comparison with 1985's "Noble Savage", which was recorded in only a few weeks. The songs on "Age Of Consent" follow in style and content the music of its precedessor.
Before the release of "Age Of Consent", VIRGIN STEELE toured heavily in Europe as special guests for BLACK SABBATH and MANOWAR.
Commented VIRGIN STEELE singer David DeFeis: "To me, 'Age Of Consent' is the album that I usually refer to as 'the one that got away album' in our career. When it was originally released it was sent out into the world without any promotion or fanfare, much like a soldier, catapulted onto a battlefield, naked and without any weapons. Because of this many people were completely unaware of its existence. Therefore we are absolutely over the moon about being able to present it to you once again. For this reissue, I have remastered all the songs from the original source tapes, and added several more 'bonus tracks.' Some of the bonus material features brand new compositions, and other tracks are covers that have been re-arranged and in some cases re-written.
"We hope that you will join us in celebrating our anniversary, and we hope you will enjoy and play at maximum volume these barbaric-romantic creations."

EX DEO To Enter Studio In November EX DEO — the Ancient Roman-themed arsenal led by KATAKLYSM frontman Maurizio Iacono — will enter the studio in November with producer Jean-François Dagenais (KATAKLYSM, MALEVOLENT CREATION, MISERY INDEX, DESPISED ICON) to begin recording its sophomore album, "Caligula", for a summer 2012 release via Austria's Napalm Records. The CD, which will be completed over the winter, will feature appearances by "some very special guests."
Commented Maurizio: "Writing for the new EX DEO album is in full force. Everything is coming together nicely. We've taken some new steps with 'Caligula' that we have never explored before musically. The album is shaping up in a very sinister but glorious opus that will turn the heads of not only mortals on this earth but also grab the attention of 'Caligula' himself who is probably in full debauchery as we speak
somewhere down below. We intend to make a mark that will last a very long time with this album..
"Fans have been impatient asking why its taking soo long... The answer is pretty simple: We are looking to create a monumental album, and this takes time, on top of our engagements with KATAKLYSM and its world tour, which has, of course, delayed the process. But have no fear, fellow Romans, as we have a tentative release date for you. Next year will mark the 2000th anniversary of Caligula, so we plan on releasing the album on August 31st , 2012 on Caligula's birthday worldwide via Napalm Records... and what an event this will be.
"To prove how serious we are in anticipation of 'Caligula', EX DEO will embark on U.S. tour next winter/spring on a very cool tour that many of Pagan beliefs will come to worship in celebration. Details to follow on this... A time of change is coming."
The artwork and layout for "Caligula" will be handled by classic artist Seth (SEPTICFLESH). Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "I, Caligula", "Burned to Serve the Nocturnal Light", "In War & Conquest/Roma Caput Mundi" and "Teutoburg (The Ambush of Varus) - Part 1".

UNISONIC Featuring MICHAEL KISKE, KAI HANSEN Signs With earMUSIC/EDELUNISONIC, the new band featuring former HELLOWEEN vocalist Michael Kiske and Kai Hansen (GAMMA RAY, ex-HELLOWEEN) alongside Dennis Ward (bass) and Kosta Zafiriou (drums) of Germany's PINK CREAM 69 and Swiss guitarist Mandy Meyer (who has previously played with ASIA, GOTTHARD and KROKUS), has inked a deal with earMUSIC/Edel.
Commented Zafiriou: "We had several promising labels being interested in UNISONIC, but the enthusiasm of Max Vaccaro and his team convinced us that earMUSIC is the right company for us."
UNISONIC's debut EP will be released in January 2012, followed bya full-length album in the early spring.
After the addition of Hansen to the group's lineup in early 2011, UNISONICcontinued the songwriting process for its debut release, incorporating Kai's talent for writing great anthemic rock songs into its existing material. The recordings for the album started at end of September at ICP studios in Brussels, Belgium.
UNISONIC's music is very versatile and shows a broad approach to heavy rock without sacrificing the power and strong, catchy melodies that characterized the bandmembers' previous projects.
Commented Kiske: "It feels great to finally bring the band to the studio and record the songs we've been working on. We took our time to grow as a band, but it was definitely worth it and we are very proud of the result."
Added bassist/producer Ward: "We have a bunch of very strong songs and can't wait until people can hear them. Everyone in the band is now looking even more positive into the future."
Regarding Hansen's addition to UNISONIC, Kiske previously said, "After so many years of abstinence, I had a lot of fun doing my first live shows with UNISONIC in summer 2010, so I agreed to do the short world tour with AVANTASIA. It was a great experience to be on stage with all those great artists, but with Kai it was something different: We instantly felt the magic again and had a lot of fun together on and off stage. We both realized that we want to be together in band again. He was interested in the open musical concept of UNISONIC and finally asked me if he can join the band. I talked to my bandmates and they all felt great about it. His talent as a guitarist and songwriter is an enrichment for the band and we are looking forward to his contribution for the music of UNISONIC."

Commented singer Sharon den Adel: "Breast cancer remains one of the most common life-threatening cancers affecting women: One out of eight women will get breast cancer in her life. Every 13 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer. It is therefore very important to keep a high awareness level of the subject in the general public. I am very happy to make a small contribution with my band to a regular event such as Hard Rock Café's Pinktober campaign."

Death-Metal Singer Helps Give \'The Thing\' A Horrifying VoiceAccording to Wired.com, supervising sound editors for "The Thing" — director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.'s remake-masked-as-a-prequel of John Carpenter's 1982 cult horror classic about an extraterrestrial marauder wreaking havoc on a chilly Antarctic compound — used heavy-metal singers, various animals and a hyperventilating actress to invest the film creature with the creepy vibe.
Beyond the animal kingdom, the sound editors blended in beastly grunts from Dylan Hromadka of the Santa Clarita, California death-metal band RESURRECTING JUDAS.
"Death-metal bands are gnarly," laughed Scott Hecker, one of the two supervising sound editors. "These singers really do sound like the devil."
John Carpenter's "The Thing" was itself a remake of the landmark 1951 movie "The Thing From Another World" starring James Arness as an alien from outer space who is really a violent veggie but looks like a man or Frankenstein's monster.

"Band of Joy" sold 49,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 5 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD enlists the help of an array of U.S. musicians, all of whom performed with Plant on tour.
