Finnish cello-rockers APOCALYPTICA have set "Worlds Collide" as the title of their new album, due in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on September 14 via G.U.N. Records. The first single, "I'm Not Jesus", featuring a guest appearance by Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR), will precede the album on August 31. Other confirmed guest musicians on the CD include Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), Tomoyasu Hotei (superstar Japanese composer, whose credits include the "Kill Bill" soundtrack), Joseph Duplantier (GOJIRA) and Cristina Scabbia (LACUNA COIL). Backing vocals for the effort were laid down by Swedish singer Mats Levén (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, THERION, KRUX, TREAT, AT VANCE).

"Worlds Collide" was produced by Jacob Hellner (RAMMSTEIN). A video for the song for the song "I'm Not Jesus" was recently filmed in in Los Angeles with director Tony Petrossian (AVENGED SEVENFOLD, RISE AGAINST, SLIPKNOT).

Italian melodic death metal band SUBLIMINAL FEAR has completed work on its debut album, entitled "Uncoloured World Dying". The CD was recorded at 16th Cellar Studio in Rome with producer Stefano Saul Morabito and is scheduled for release in the fall through Burning Star Records.

04. The Silence That Remains
05. I've Lost My Control
06. Stare
07. Leave Your Eyes In This Burning Sky

09. Uncoloured World Dying

The artwork for the album was created by Nerve Design (NILE, THRESHOLD, SADIST, BLINDED COLONY, VISION DIVINE, ELDRICH, ENEMYNSIDE).

M.A.N, the new band formed out of the ashes of Sweden's TRANSPORT LEAGUE (featuring former MNEMIC frontman Tony Jelencovich), has uploaded several video clips taken at the group's June 30, 2007 concert at Virgin Oil Co in Helsinki, Finland. Watch them at YouTube.

M.A.N is busy writing material for its as-yet-untitled second album. The recordings will once again take place at Grand Recordings in Gothenburg, Sweden with producer/engineer Svein Jensen. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Outnumbered", "Lay Down", "You're Dead", "Blood Vanish", "My Own Sickness", "Worn Wings" and "Dead Universe".

Guitarist and founding member Daniel "Minni" Benner of the German death metallers LAY DOWN ROTTEN has announced his departure from the group. "The reason for my departure is exclusively musical differences when writing the new songs — no personal issues," Minni says. "I just found that musically it wasn't what I wanted. Thanks to all who have supported me and I wish my successor Nils and the whole band all the best."

Prior to his exit, Minni laid down the bass on four songs that will be included on the band's new album. All other tracks will be recorded by the group's new lead guitarist Nils Förster (WHEN SORROW ENDS). Nils is said to be a longtime friend who has handled various duties related to engineering and keyboards (on "Breeding Insanity") for the band. The collaboration is working out flawlessly and the group will play all previously announced festivals (Queens of Metal, Zabbaduschder, Ragnarock and Party.San, among others) right after they finish their current studio work.

LAY DOWN ROTTEN's new CD, "Reconquering the Pit", is scheduled for release later in the year via Metal Blade Records. Once again, Björn Goosse from Killustrations will create the album artwork.

San Diego metal outfit AS I LAY DYING has finalized the track listing for its new album, "An Ocean Between Us", due on August 21 through Metal Blade Records. Produced by KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (EVERY TIME I DIE, ALL THAT REMAINS), the CD will contain a dozen tracks, including "Separation", "Within Destruction" and the likely first single, "Nothing Left".

In a recent interview with HardcoreSounds.net, AS I LAY DYING frontman Tim Lambesis stated about the new material, "Compared to 'Shadows Are Security' it's more diverse. Some of the songs are darker and technical but there's also some melodic guitars like there were in 'Shadows Are Security'. Musically 'An Ocean Between Us' is more faster and heavier but lyrically the album is really memorable. If you put the two together it has a cool energy because everything is more balanced. I also had more time to focus on lyrics this time."

"An Ocean Between Us" (view artwork at this location) track listing:

01. Separation
02. Nothing Left
03. An Ocean Between Us
04. Within Destruction
05. Forsaken
06. Comfort Betrays
07. I Never Wanted
08. Bury Us All
09. The Sound of Truth
10. Departed
11. Wrath Upon Ourselves
12. This is Who We Are

Industrial death/black metal mongers HATE will soon enter Hertz Studio in Bialystok, Poland to record their new album, tentatively entitled "Katharsis". HATE has been working on the new material for a few months now and is in the process of doing pre-production — creating samples and backgrounds for what is now eight finished songs! The album, which is going to be the follow-up to the highly acclaimed "Anaclasis - A Haunting Gospel of Malice & Hatred", is said to be the most mature and ambitious material from the band thus far, demonstraiting a great step forward in terms of composition and arrangements. Songtitles set to appear on the new record include "Omega", "Katharsis", "Apotheosis", "Threnody", "Slaves To Their Graves" and "Resurrection Machine". A January 2008 release via Listenable Records is expected.

Hamburg, Germany-based brutal melodic death metallers DARK AGE have revealed the cover artwork for their new album, entitled "Minus Exitus". Check it out at here. The artwork was created by Niklas Sundin from DARK TRANQUILLITY.

"Minus Exitus" is tentatively scheduled for release in September. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Cold", "Black September" and "Minus Exitus". A trailer for the album can be viewed at this location. According to an online post by the band's keyboardist Martin Reichert, the CD's first pressing will likely include a limited-edition DVD.

DARK AGE's first DVD, "Live, So Far...", was released last year via Remedy Records.

DARK AGE's most recent studio CD, "Dark Age" (2003), featured a guest appearance by TIAMAT frontman Johan Edlund on two songs.

According to a posting on the official CHILDREN OF BODOM fan site Scythes Of Bodom, the band will put on a 10th anniversary bash in Helsinki, Finland in November. The group's debut album, "Something Wild", was released in Finland in November 1997.

Commented guitarist Alexi Laiho: "We're planning to arrange a two-night event where we will perform on the first night. Tickets will be sold even though there will be many invited guests. On the second night we'll concentrate on partying more privately, but we might indeed end up on stage, at least for small moments. Anyhow, other bands will perform on the second night. The exact date for the (Helsinki) party has not been decided yet, but we're aiming for November."

In other news, Scythes Of Bodom has revealed three songtitles that are set to appear on the band's forthcoming album: "Tie My Rope" (which was recorded in May for Bam Margera's "Bam Margera Presents…Viva La Bands, Vol. 2" compilation), "Roundtrip 2 Hell And Back" and "Pretty For The Devil". A total of five tracks have been completed thus far and the band plans to enter the studio in October to begin recording the effort for a tentative March 2008 release.

NEGATIVE frontman Jonne Aaron recently teamed up with Jann Wilde (JANN WILDE & ROSE AVENUE) and Christian Fjäder (DEAD BY GUN) to record a cover of QUEEN's "Too Much Love Will Kill You" for a compilation album, titled "Rock 'n' Roll High School". The CD, which is was released on May 30, also features contributions from DEAD BY GUN, BLOODPIT, CARMEN GRAY, NEGATIVE, SO CALLED PLAN, JANN WILDE & ROSE AVENUE and PRIVATE LINE.

Aaron, Wilde and Fjäder, along with backing vocalists Jussi Uniklubi (UNIKLUBI) and Ville Liimatainen (FLINCH), shot the video for "Too Much Love Will Kill You" at the end of April in Tampere, Finland. Watch the clip online at YouTube

There’s news from the DoD camp: Adrian and Gaun:a have joined Rainer Assman at the White Room III studio for the finishing touches of the mix. The complete master is supposed to be completed in two weeks. After that, the foto shootings will take place, planned as usual in the most minute detail; and work on the graphic design of
the limited edition CD is also about to start. Since the band is surprisingly on schedule with the whole production, we were informed that the album will be released already at the end of October 2007. Adrian described the newest
DoD output as a combination of the typical Diary qualities and a strong emphasis on extremes. “I really believe in the uncompromising power of the new tracks”, he said.


Single:

In the next few weeks, Accession Records will already start to promote the new Diary of Dreams single, and the title, yet undisclosed, will be revealed very soon. With the release of the single, we will turn over a new leaf of the Diary of Dreams – and it’s about time, too, since the last studio album of the band hit the shops three years
ago …


Tour:

The first European gigs will probably take place early 2008. One thing we already know for sure: At a lot of these concerts, DoD will be joined by special guests Noyce TM. We are really proud to present the Trademark guys at these occasions – check out their music, it’s worth it!

Norwegian industrial metallers VULTURE INDUSTRIES have completed work on their new album, "The Dysotpia Journals", with producer Bjornar Nilsen, who is also the band's vocalist and keyboards/programmer.

Originally formed in 1998, VULTURE INDUSTRIES underwent a down period, until eventually recruiting Nilsen, whose distinctive vocals, together with the addition of programming and the use of old-fashioned synths, gave the band a new, more complex, edge. Aside from Nilsen, the band comprises Øyvind Madsen (SULPHUR) on guitar, Tor Helge Gjengedal (MALICE IN WONDERLAND) on drums, Kyrre Teigen on bass, Eivind Huse (SULPHUR) on guitar.

Bergen-based Nilsen, owner of the Conclave Media Studios (together with Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal of ENSLAVED), has had a particularly busy year to date. He has just finished producing the latest albums from SWORN and BOURBON FLAME, a band that includes members of ENSLAVED, HADES ALMIGHTY, SULPHUR and ex-AETERNUS; as well as producing a demo for FUNERAPOLIS, and some mixing work for ICON EIGHT. He is due to enter the studios shortly to commence production on the new album from DEAD TO THIS WORLD, the band formed and fronted by former IMMORTAL bass player Iscariah, as well as working on a new album for his own black metal band BLACK HOLE GENERATOR.

A track from VULTURE INDUSTRIES' "The Dysotpia Journals" album, as well as tracks from the group's previous releases, can be heard on the band's official MySpace Page

A new audio sample from NEVERLAND, the collaboration between Turkey's progressive power metal band DREAMTONE and Greek artist Iris Mavraki, has been posted on the NEVERLAND MySpace Page. The song "To Lose the Sun", features Hansi Kürsch of BLIND GUARDIAN on lead vocals. This clip, along with two more brand new samples "Mankind Is a Lie" and "Mountain of Joy", can also be found on DREAMTONE's official web site. All three songs come off the NEVERLAND's debut CD, "Reversing Time", due later in the year via an as-yet-undetermined label. The bulk of the album's basic tracks (except for the guest appearances) were recorded at ATM Studios in Istanbul, with Erim Arkman and Alp Turac (who won the Eurovision Song Contest back in 2003 with singer Sertab Erener for the song "Every Way That I Can"). The mixing process took place at Division One Studios (EVERGREY, HAMMERFALL, IN FLAMES etc) in Gothenburg, Sweden. The mastering of "Reversing Time" will be handled by senior mastering engineer Leon Zervos (AVRIL LAVIGNE, SANTANA, INXS, SKID ROW, DURAN DURAN, AEROSMITH) at Sterling Sound in New York.

In addition to Kürsch, Iris Mavraki, and DREAMTONE, "Reversing Time" features the Philarmonia Istanbul Orchestra and such renowned musicians as Tom Englund (EVERGREY), Mike Baker (SHADOW GALLERY) and Gary Wehrkamp (SHADOW GALLERY).

The Philarmonia Istanbul Orchestra recorded at MIAM Studios in Istanbul with conductor Hakan Sensoy. Ethnical instruments and sax parts were recorded at Mars Studios in Ankara. Songtitles set to appear on "Reversing Time" include "To Lose The Sun" (performed by Hansi Kürsch), "World Beyond These Walls" (performed by Tom Englund), "Reversing Time" (performed by Mike Baker), "Mountain of Judgment", "Mountain of Joy", "Black Water", "Mankind Is A Lie" and "Who Asked You To Fight?" The music was written by DREAMTONE and Iris Mavraki. All lyrics were written by Oganalp Canatan (DREAMTONE) and Orpheus Spiliotopoulos.

The project is currently in talks with several record labels about a possible deal.

METALLICA members James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo joined SPINAL TAP on stage for the latter band's rendition of "Big Bottom" at the Live Earth concert in London earlier tonight (Saturday, July 7). SPINAL TAP greeted the crowd with a cheery "Hello Wimbledon!" and also recreated its classic Stonehenge routine with a mini-model of the English landmark. Watch video footage at YouTube.

As previously reported, professionally filmed video footage of METALLICA's three-song set as part of the Live Earth concert has been posted at YouTube:

"Sad But True"
"Nothing Else Matters"
"Enter Sandman"

The band played three songs instead of the scheduled four; "For Whom The Bell Tolls" was dropped, possibly due to time restrictions.

Swedish gothic doom metal band DRACONIAN has issued the following update:

"The DRACONIAN quest continues. The band has booked the prominent Fascination Street Studio (KATATONIA, OPETH) in Örebro, Sweden to record their fourth release in September this year. Currently the band is in the last stage of songwriting and pre-production recordings in order to finalize this new saga. The album will generally deal with a more diverse and intense sound than previous releases, which should attract both old and new fans as well. The title of the album is yet uncertain, but a few new songtitles are 'Seasons Apart', 'The Failure Epiphany' and 'Morphine Cloud'."

DRACONIAN released its special "bonus" album, titled "The Burning Halo", last September through Napalm Records (October in the U.S.). The CD features three new songs, new versions of several demo songs and three covers.

EMI has just re-released BLIND GUARDIAN's early albums in remastered form. The remasters include bonus tracks, new booklets, liner notes, rare band photos and videos. In addition, the first two LPs, "Battalions of Fear" (1988) and "Follow the Blind" (1989), have been remixed.

Commented BLIND GUARDIAN frontman Hansi Kürsch: "As you all most probably recognized we have kept silent for quite a while, again. The reason is fairly simple: we have been on the road for most of the time to accomplish an enourmous amount of sightseeing in between the playing. We will give you some longer statement about what has been / is going on the next days. This basically is more to inform you about our 20 years BLIND GUARDIAN anniversary and the related release of the remasters series on Friday, June 15.

"This remasters series include all our albums up to 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth'. Due to better sounding this is a very valuable option for those who do not have all albums already or those who do no have any, since this series contain additional material and better booklet designs (including liner notes and some more photos — if it were spacewise possible) than the original ones. Audio-/video-wise we also have added a good amount of material, such as demos, most of the band's clips and b-tracks from single releases, etc.. We have also taken the opportunity to remix the first two albums, so that 'Battalions of Fear' and 'Follow the Blind' appear in a more modern shape. Do not worry, the original intention has not been damaged by that. We would have prefered remixing 'Tales from the Twilight World' as well, but unfortunately this whole project has been done on very tight time schedule, which made it impossible for us to do so. We nevertheless have really enjoyed doing that time travel for quite a few months and it has brought back great memories. The release date is scheduled for all Europe. The rest of the world is going to follow within the next weeks."

Seattle's HIMSA have set "Summon In Thunder" as the title of its new album, due on September 17 via Century Media Records.

Steve Carter (who produced the band's second album, "Courting Tragedy And Disaster") produced the music while Devin Townsend (LAMB OF GOD, DARKEST HOUR) produced vocals and the renowned Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED) brought it all together, nailing the mixing and mastering duties.

Derek Harn (bass) states: "'Summon In Thunder' was paid for in blood, sweat and fury. Over 5 weeks straight of 20-hour days, and metal masters from three countries worked tirelessly under tight deadlines to create this monster. It was pure - but ultimately rewarding - anguish. In the end, it all paid off, and the intensity of the recording process carries through the album like a horde of stampeding wildebeests."

Derek continues: "During our endless hours in the studio, we had a great idea for a video that we couldn't pass up and decided to make this our first enhanced CD. The video is for our shortest, thrashiest song, 'Unleash Carnage', and is truly one of the grossest, most ridiculous displays in all of metaldom. Also on the CD, we included video footage on the making of the album, sort of a diary of how the process was working out at the time. To top it off, we put lots of pretty pictures of us in a photo gallery, so all the girls can make posters of us and hang them on their bedroom walls.

Speaking of pretty pictures, the ever-masterful Paul Romano (MASTODON, THE RED CHORD) created all the art and design for this album's packaging. He researched what ancient cultures believed created thunder in the heavens and worked closely with Pettibone's lyrics to create the imagery of mythological creatures and the power of nature's dark wrath. It's amazing art. We are incredibly proud of this album and feel it's a pure representation of who we are as individuals and as a band. We are anxious to get back out on the road and see all our friends across the globe."

With original guitarist Sammi Curr returning to the fold and collaborating with Kirby Johnson (guitars) this new effort (and debut Century Media offering) promises a shredding onslaught of massive riffs, devastating dynamics and refreshing savageness.

With a European tour already planned for autumn 2007 and the stunning "Summon In Thunder" under their belt, there is nothing that can prevent HIMSA from taking the world by storm.

A clip from "Live to Dream!" — which is described as an insider's glimpse into the creative process of Paul Stanley and his new concert film/DVD, titled "Live to Win Live" — is available for viewing at here.

Director D.P Carlson describes Live to Dream!' as, "an insider's glimpse' into Paul Stanley's creativity, and personal journey from his first solo album in 1978, to his latest 'Live To Win' release and tour. The film also captures the emotional and creative process of how producer/director Louis Antonelli's concert film, 'Paul Stanley – Live to Win Live!' came to be."

"Paul Stanley - Live to Dream!" features interviews with Paul Stanley, Louis Antonelli, manager Doc McGhee, band members Jimmy McGorman, Rafael Moreira, and Nate Morton, as well as personal insights from fans attending the Chicago concert and filming.

D.P. Carlson told PaulStanley.com, "What attracted me to this film was not just the opportunity to work with one of my rock heroes from KISS, but to explore the unique relationship between filmmaker Louis Antonelli and Paul Stanley — who is one of Louis' childhood idols."

CHARON/ex-POISONBLACK frontman Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto has launched a new band called HARMAJA. The group, which also features CHARON drummer Antti Karihtala, sings in Finnish and is said to be influenced by the likes of NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS and MORRISSEY.

To check out samples of HARMAJA's music, visit the band's MySpace page

likes to extend his (slightly odd) views on Faith, Love, Hope;
on dreams and his grand future.

What he does not like is talking about his puzzling past, which has never been discussed in the open public before.
This is the once in a lifetime chance to creep a little look into the secrets of this living phenomena.
BIG BOY was probably born around the year 1977 in Sweden but due to some unexplainable events in this twisted world he spent most of his childhood in Germany. Since BIG BOY matured fast, it didnt take him long to get into some serious trouble.
As a result from breaking up with yet another She-Devil and the following evening piss up, he somewhat thought that a bit of discipline couldnt harm him.
Consequently he found himself joining the French Foreign Legion where he served this Grand Nation for almost two long years (should have checked the contract!).
They really did NOT show much appreciation of BIG BOYs special skills,
like being the camouflage make up artist on the battlefield.
He was soon dishonorably discharged on accusations of being a bit camp in camp.

After these traumatic two years in the mud BIG BOY began a new journey in the search for comradeship and his meaning in life
This was certainly made clear to him after a short vacancy at a mental
institution (just to "visit a friend") where, believe it or not, Freddie Mercury appeared to him in one of his lively dreams.
He told him to start the most kick ass, twisted Rock N Roll Band the world has ever seen.
BIG BOY, not really knowing whether that prophecy was for real or just a fragment of his imagination, decided to trust Freddie.

Still thinking tactically BIG BOY took on this challenge and started to get to know his sworn enemy, the Music Business and its Majors.
Some would say that he took investigating a bit too far when he started signing boy-groups for a major record label. But I can assure you that he still feels deeply sorry for releasing such tasteless junk onto the defenseless public.
BIG BOY knew now that his time had come to pop the cherry with colleagues, artists, and anybody else fitting for him
In order to gain a wider selection he had to get back on track to become a full blown Rock Superstar.
BIG BOY had finally found his destiny and now tried to inspire everyone in or around him to join his path. On his following pilgrimage along the Santiago Road he met three sense seeking, Absolut Vodka drinking, lip gloss eating musicians, who were also looking for that extasy called Rock`N Roll and shared his affinity for Swedish ass along the way. Nice!
This was everything BIG BOY had ever dreamed off

Being the biggest German speaking entertainer since Marlene Dietrich and the greatest fake since Milli Vanilli is a bit overwhelming at times.
I just want to be loved!
BIG BOY

And loved he will be- or hated. Youll never know what B.B. leaves behind- broken hearts or broken noses

HAIL THE BIG BOY !!!

Massachusetts' ALL THAT REMAINS will film its July 12 concert at The Recher Theater in Towson, MD for an upcoming DVD. Tentatively due this fall through Prosthetic Records, the disc will contain footage that the band has been compiling since release of its 2004 album "This Darkened Heart", including material shot at a Philadelphia performance earlier this year.

Commented frontman Phil Labonte: "As everyone knows, we shot footage for a DVD. Unfortunately, some of the audio files were corrupted so we have to shoot again. I know, this is getting stupid, but we don't want to put out some subpar, crappy DVD. Most of you guys 'n gals have been with us for a long time and waiting almost as long for the DVD. We are working hard to make sure if you plunk down 20 bucks, you get what you pay for: A full live show and enough extras to give you a sense of who we are. With that being said I'm gonna announce there is going to be another ALL THAT REMAINS DVD shoot Thursday, July 12th at The Recher Theater in Towson, MD; other acts [to be announced]. This also will also stand as a makeup show for the Baltimore date we missed on the BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE tour. So come on out, again. Get into it!"

Currently supporting its latest album, "The Fall of Ideals", ALL THAT REMAINS has already toured Europe twice for the record and just recently completed headlining shows, support dates for BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and a brief Canadian run with PROTEST THE HERO. Additionally, the band appeared on Ozzfest 2006 and toured Stateside with DRAGONFORCE and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, among others. Now, the band will appear on the July 14 Sounds of the Underground date before heading to Mexico for the first time before departing again for Europe.
