VADER: Working Songtitles Revealed

VADER: Working Songtitles Revealed

Polish extreme metallers will spend four weeks at Hertz Studio in Bialystok, Poland starting on March 15 recording their new album, "Welcome To The Morbid Reich". The band will lay down a total of 12 or 13 songs for the CD, which will be mixed and mastered in May for a tentative late 2011 release. Working songtitles set to appear on the effort include "Lords of Thorns", "I Am Who Feast Upon Your Souls", "Only Hell Knows", "Return to the Morbid Reich" and "I Had A Dream".

Commented guitarist/vocalist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek: "For a long time I've been thinking about new tracks and the album concept, more and more things start to be clear. For the most part I'd like Spider [Marek Pajak; guitar] to take part in the process of album creation. I also have in mind relating to the good old times with a new layout for the album. I met with Zbyszek Bielak, a very talented artist who will design the new layout, merchandise and scenic elements. Zbyszek has already worked with such bands as WATAIN, ABSU, BEHEMOTH...

"The new album will mainly focus on the 'Morbid Reich' feeling combined with brutal riffs and tempo of the previous albums. We also have a surprise for our devoted fans, we're going to come back to our old logo."

VADER will debut one or two tracks from "Welcome To The Morbid Reich" during the band's summer festival appearances.

HEATHEN Issues Lineup \

HEATHEN Issues Lineup \'Clarification\'

San Francisco Bay Area thrashers HEATHEN have issued the following update:

"Recently, a news story appeared on Blabbermouth regarding HEATHEN's lineup. This story was not an official press release written or released by the band or its management and deserves clarification.

"At this point, bassist Jon Torres is still a member of HEATHEN. It was discussed with Jon that he would be sitting out the upcoming European tour with the band to focus on his health, with the expectation that he would return to the group for future activities.

"The band is happy to have former member Jason VieBrooks filling in as bassist for the tour with OVERKILL and DESTRUCTION in March but this is not a permanent change in the band's lineup.

"We look forward to seeing you all at our warm-up show in San Francisco on February 4th and on tour in Europe in March."

DIRE STRAITS - \

DIRE STRAITS - \'Money For Nothing\' Banned In Canada

According to Spectator Wire Services, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council has ruled that DIRE STRAITS’ 1980s hit 'Money For Nothing' (which features THE POLICE's Sting on background vocals) is too offensive for Canadian radio.

The ruling, released Wednesday, was in response to a complaint against St. John’s radio station CHOZ-FM. The listener complained that the word faggot – which appears three times in the song is “extremely offensive” to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

The council is an independent body created by Canadian radio and television broadcasters to review the standards of their content.

The award-winning song was the first single off of Dire Straits’ album Brothers in Arms and has been an international music staple for 25 years.

The council ruled that the song contravenes its ethics code which states: “broadcasters shall ensure that their programming contains no abusive or unduly discriminatory material or comment which is based on matters of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status or physical or mental disability.”

It ruled that “faggot,” when used to describe a homosexual, is “even if entirely or marginally acceptable in earlier days, is no longer so.”

Offending Lyrics from Money for Nothing, by Dire Straits:

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup

Yeah, buddy, that’s his own hair

That little faggot’s got his own jet airplane

That little faggot, he’s a millionaire

DROWNING POOL: Listening To Our Music Does Not Make You A Bad Person

DROWNING POOL: Listening To Our Music Does Not Make You A Bad Person

Texas heavy rockers DROWNING POOL have released a follow-up statement in response to news reports that the 22-year-old man under arrest in Saturday's massacre in Arizona had listed as a "favorite" on his YouTube channel a video featuring the band's song "Bodies" as its relentless soundtrack.

The alleged gunman, Jared Lee Loughner, fatally shot six people and injured 14 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was holding a public event in Tucson for constituents.

Loughner had an unofficial video featuring "Bodies" playing in the background while a masked man burns the American flag listed as a favorite on his YouTube channel, leading some media commentators to speculate that the killer was influenced by the song.

In a new statement released online earlier today (Tuesday, January 10), DROWNING POOL said: "We'd like to thank our fans for all of their support yesterday, and once again offer our thoughts to the victims and their families.

"Jared Lee Loughner is clearly a very disturbed individual.

"The Washington Post ran an article on 'Bodies' and the Tucson shootings today. But instead of telling the whole story, the writer decided to edit what we had to say in order to make it seem like we were somehow responsible for what happened last weekend. He left out some really important facts.

"Where did the part about us performing for the troops go? Where was the mention of us helping to pass a bill in support of our soldiers?

"If you want to let readers form their own opinions of who we are and what we support, include all of the info!

"We find it inappropriate to imply that our song or rock music in general is to blame for this tragic event. It is premature to make this assumption without having all the facts in the case. It is just as likely that this horrible act was caused by the irresponsible and violent rhetoric used by mainstream media outlets such as the Washington Post.

"Listening to DROWNING POOL music does not make you a bad person. Misleading people does."

BLOTTED SCIENCE To Record New EP

BLOTTED SCIENCE To Record New EP

Instrumental extreme metal triumvirate BLOTTED SCIENCE, featuring guitarist Ron Jarzombek (WATCHTOWER, SPASTIC INK, MARTY FRIEDMAN), bassist Alex Webster (CANNIBAL CORPSE, HATE ETERNAL) and drummer Hannes Grossmann (NECROPHAGIST, OBSCURA), is preparing to enter the studio to begin recording a new EP, "The Animation Of Entomology", for a tentative late 2011 release.

Commented Jarzombek: "This concept started to take shape in June of '08 when BLOTTED SCIENCE got together for the first time to rehearse and threw ideas around for a second CD. We wanted to score some kind of creepy horror film, and so something was definitely abuzz…

"The idea of writing music that syncs up perfectly with clips of disgusting insects and other creepy creatures was set in motion.

"After working with close to a dozen movie clips, it became apparent that to do a full-length CD, it would take far too long to complete. You need to take in the fact that we are writing exclusively with a 12-tone system 100% of the time, so things get very detailed, nitpicky and restricted. On the timing side of things... counts, measures, time signatures and note subdivisions also now have to conform to frames per second and more importantly match and coincide with what is onscreen. Throw out any semblance of verses and choruses too while you're at it. Rather than have musical sections last a series of measures, some full sections now last just a few counts.

"I've scored music to film before with SPASTIC INK's 'A Wild Hare' and 'The Cereal Mouse', and Alex and I have written with a specific 12-tone system on the first BLOTTED SCIENCE CD, 'The Machinations Of Dementia', but putting these two together has been brutally intense.

"Will all of this be too much for fans to take in? We shall see… literally…

"The EP entitled 'The Animation Of Entomology' will contain seven new BLOTTED SCIENCE songs, and will be approximately 24 minutes long.

"Hannes will be going into Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany on January 31, 2011, with V. Santura (DARK FORTRESS, TRIPTYKON) engineering, and is now preparing for the session. Alex is recording his bass tracks at his Hell Whole Studios in Tampa, and I am locked away in my Live Oak Studios here in San Antonio.

"If all goes well, we should have everything recorded in a few months."

FIREWIND Drummer Launches LOVE.MIGHT.KILL

LOVE.MIGHT.KILL, the new band led by drummer Michael Ehré (FIREWIND, ULI JON ROTH, METALIUM), has completed work on its debut album, "Brace For Impact". The CD, which was produced by Ehré and mixed by Markus Teske (SAGA, VANDEN PLAS, SPOCK'S BEARD), features 13 "stunning melodic metal tracks in the tradition of RAINBOW, JUDAS PRIEST, DIO and BLACK SABBATH," according to a press release.

After touring all around the world with several bands and writing songs for German metallers METALIUM, Japanese female metal vocalist Saeko and ex-ZED YAGO founder Jutta Weinhold, Ehré realized his vision of an own band by writing, recording and producing LOVE.MIGHT.KILL's debut CD.

DARKEST HOUR: New Song Available For Streaming

DARKEST HOUR: New Song Available For Streaming

"Savor The Kill", a brand new song from Washington D.C.-based metallers DARKEST HOUR, can be streamed using the audio player below (courtesy of AOL's Noisecreep). The track comes off the band's new album, "The Human Romance", which is scheduled for a February 22 release via eOne Music. The CD was recorded at a North Carolina studio with producer (and SOILWORK guitarist) Peter Wichers.

This time around, the DARKEST HOUR songs were composed a bit differently than was the case in the past. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum explains, "We have been working on these tunes ever since we left the studio last April.

"'The Eternal Return' was written during a very dark, bleak time for the band and I think that record matches that in both tone and character. Our vision was for it to be an in-your-face, no-frills aggressive assault. The new material shares in that aggression and pushes DARKEST HOUR beyond the unknown."

Wichers previously helmed such acclaimed albums as ALL THAT REMAINS' "The Fall of Ideals" and SOILWORK's latest effort, "The Panic Broadcast".

"The Human Romance" track listing:

01. Terra Nocturnus
02. The World Engulfed In Flames
03. Savor The Kill
04. Man And Swine
05. Love As A Weapon
06. Your Every Day Disaster
07. Violent By Nature

The cover artwork for "Coordinated Mutilation", the sophomore album from Swedish death metalers VOLTURYON, can be seen below. A gruesome masterpiece by Polish artist Lukasz Jaszak, the cover depicts a psychotic blood covered maniac butchering a cadaver with a chainsaw.

Jaszak is known for his previous works which include the "Lords Of Chaos" book cover and album covers from artists like BLOOD RED THRONE and WITCHMASTER.

"Coordinated Mutilation" will be released in February via United Guttural Records. The CD was recorded at Black Lounge and Abyss studios by Jonas Kjellgren (CARNAL FORGE, SCAR SYMMETRY, CENTINEX). The music on the disc is described in a press release as "aggressive-yet-technical death metal with thrash elements. Straight-forward and well-played. 'Coordinated Mutilation' is one solid-structured song after the next with cool riffs, solos, intensely growled vocals and a tight rhythm section."

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Bloodsoaked Solution
02. Savage Gluttony
03. Eight Corner of Slaughter
04. Euphoria Through Execution
05. Ravaged
06. Coordinated Mutilation
07. Abide under Eminence
08. Sadistic Molestation
09. Sanguinolency
10. Intense Convulsions

VOLTURYON's previous album, "Blood Cure", was released in 2008 through Obscure Domain Productions. Since then VOLTURYON has played a number of high-profile shows, including the Sweden Rock Festival where the band performed alongside AT THE GATES and CARCASS, among others.

EGYPT CENTRAL To Release \

EGYPT CENTRAL To Release \'White Rabbit\' In May

Fat Lady Music/ILG/Warner Music Group recording artist EGYPT CENTRAL is gearing up for the release of its sophomore album, "White Rabbit", on May 17.

"White Rabbit" was produced by Skidd Mills (SAVING ABEL, 12 STONES) in early October 2010 and features twelve songs of heavy riffs, lyrics from the soul and strong melodic hooks. Threaded throughout this collection of songs is a story of consequences that occur when one accepts or declines the invitation from the White Rabbit.

"We knew we had solid songs, but when the opportunity came to work with Skidd, we found the person that could not only make a great sounding record, but also bring the best out of us," states lead singer John Falls. "We had a lot of growing to do as men and the time was right to give our fans what they deserved and what we knew we were capable of… kick-ass rock!" "Collectively this is the best group of songs we have ever written," adds bassist Joey Chicago.

Taking its name from one the toughest roads that runs through their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, EGYPT CENTRAL was formed in 2001.

The first single from "White Rabbit" will be the title track and it will be released February 15 to Active rock radio and iTunes.

EGYPT CENTRAL will hit the road in early 2011. Drummer Blake Allison states, "Our secret weapon has always been our live show.

"I can't tell you how excited we are to play this new batch of songs for our fans that have stuck by us and this is our invitation for anyone new to EGYPT CENTRAL to come along on this journey… we hope you accept!"

GRAVEYARD Signs With NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS

Nuclear Blast Records has announced the signing of the Swedish occult rock outfit GRAVEYARD. The band's new album, "Hisingen Blues", is scheduled for a late March release.

Drawing influences from by all sorts of guitar-driven music, GRAVEYARD delivers it all — along with stunning imagery and a pure, authentic attitude.

Commented Nuclear Blast head of A&R Andy Siry: "We are honored to be working with GRAVEYARD from now on! These guys are the most unique and amazing band the so-called retro rock scene has to offer, although GRAVEYARD are MUCH more than this.

"Keep your caps peeled — GRAVEYARD is upon us. 2011 will be the year of the 'YARD!"

Added the band: "It feels great to work with such experienced and dedicated people as the Nuclear Blast crew. Awesome!! It's a label that's founded by old-school tape traders that obviously are good at what they do, since NB is one of the few big independent labels that manages not only to survive, but to expand in today's difficult music climate."

Former, Current SONIC SYNDICATE Members To Release THE UNGUIDED Debut Single

Former, Current SONIC SYNDICATE Members To Release THE UNGUIDED Debut Single

THE UNGUIDED — the new project featuring former SONIC SYNDICATE members Richard Sjunnesson (vocals) and Roland Johansson (vocals), along with current SONIC SYNDICATE guitarist (and Richard's brother) Roger Sjunnesson — will release a two-track digital and physical single entitled "Nightmareland" in February. The artwork for the single was created by the very talented graphic artist Kuang Hong from China, Beijing and can be seen below.

Commented Richard: "We already have about ten songs in the pipeline for the album and everything sounds really awesome! I will assure you it sounds nothing like the 'new' SONIC, and the people who liked the classic SYNDICATE will be familiar with the take on these songs, for sure. I don't think we ever wrote this many songs in such a short period of time. And I believe it's the fruit of having creative freedom and loving what we do — it certainly has upped the pace."

Regarding THE UNGUIDED's touring plans, Richard said, "THE UNGUIDED won't be a touring band in the terms of what SONIC SYNDICATE was. We will focus on random gigs and festivals when it comes to live shows. Touring was what made Roland quit in the first place, and I have no intentions of letting history repeat itself."

Richard Sjunnesson left SONIC SYNDICATE late last year due to what he claims was the band's "inability to play decent music." In a lengthy and rambling message posted on his newly launched official blog, Richard stated that his departure from the group was caused by his "being locked up in a band where there is no room to express one's creativity because it's simply not the right format for the band anymore. Being artistically crippled because heavy music is the wrong forum for a 'metal band,' and having to turn the other cheek pretending to like something that I think is garbage will simply not fly for this crow. There are only so many arguments of the 'scary' screaming vocals to be or not to be in various songs I'm willing to take. Seeing how there was even demands to the band (behind my back) of songs without screaming vocals and how they were later obvious downplayed in the mix might very well have been the deathblow to my emotional attachment of the band. On the other hand, that made this decision very easy for me. It allowed me to go on in life with stuff that feels more important, things that actually manage to stir my heart."

Richard Sjunnesson was temporarily replaced on SONIC SYNDICATE's recent European tour by "longtime friend" Christoffer Andersson.

SONIC SYNDICATE's latest album, "We Rule The Night", was released in Europe on August 27, 2010 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Based in Malmö and Gothenburg, Sweden, DEATHENING comprises members from EMBRACED, MURDERPLAN, SUPRALOAD, CARPET KNIGHTS and WRAPTORS. The band was formed in 2007 by engineers/producers Pål Callmer and Arnold Lindberg who had played together in various bands since the mid-Nineties.

Previously known as lead vocalist of black metal band EMBRACED (Regain Records), Kalle Nimhagen has, with DEATHENING, "taken his voice to an uncompromising level of guttural rawness blended with high-pitched vicious screaming," according to a press release. Drummer Arnold Lindberg is a well-known sound engineer/producer who has made albums for IN FLAMES, DIMENSION ZERO, EVERGREY, HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, DARKEST HOUR, DIMMU BORGIR and DRAGONLAND, among others. He has toured as engineer for IN FLAMES, THE HAUNTED, EUROPE, WITCHERY, DESTRUCTION, HAMMERFALL, KAMELOT and HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, to mention a few. In addition Arnold plays the drums in MURDERPLAN and is the lead singer in SUPRALOAD. Guitarist and songwriter Pål Callmer is the founder of MURDERPLAN (along with Fredrik Söderlund of PUISSANCE and OCTINOMOS), SUPRALOAD and the guitarist in the progressive rock band WRAPTORS.

BONAFIDE: \'Fill Your Head With Rock\' EP Samples Available

Swedish hard rockers BONAFIDE will release a new EP, "Fill Your Head With Rock - Old, New, Tried & True", on January 28 via Black Lodge/Sound Pollution. The band states, "[We] decided to go for a EP instead of the ordinary radio single format this time around. The reasons were many, but first and foremost it shows a band vitalized by the addition of drummer Niklas Matsson (RAGING SLAB, BACKDRAFT), and what better way to introduce a new member than to buy some studio time and record a couple of favorite tracks live in the studio!

"'Fill Your Head With Rock' and 'No Doubt About It' are both taken from [BONAFIDE's] second album, 'Something's Dripping'. We gave the opener, 'Fill Your Head…', a little 'haircut,' making it more representable for radio. This is a true anthem, and a song that has grown into a live favorite. 'No Doubt About It' was picked to be included in the new Atari game 'Test Drive Unlimited 2', released for various platforms early 2011.

"The six-track EP also includes the song 'Kick Me Out' that, for some unknown reason, was not included on the final version of 'Something's Dripping'. We feel this song is a fantastic representation of a band that for the last two years has gained an ever-growing audience around Europe by extensive touring. 'I Don't Need No Doctor', 'I Can't Explain' and 'Nice Boys (Don't Play Rock 'N' Roll)' sees BONAFIDE paying homage to some rock giants. THE WHO's 'I Can't Explain' is another live favorite, often played as an encore. HUMBLE PIE's 'I Don't Need No Doctor' lets singer and frontman Pontus Snibb show off his golden vocal cords, and 'Nice Boys', which was recorded in one take, is two minutes of pure adrenalin. Also included are two videos: 'Hard Livin' Man' and the brand new 'No Doubt About It'."
