AUGURY Returns With Original Lineup
 Montreal's progressive death metallers AUGURY have released the following statement:
"It is with great pleasure that we announce the return of [bassist] Dominic 'Forest' Lapointe and [drummer] Étienne Gallo to AUGURY. The writing process has begun with all the original members, and the band is focused 100% on the new album.
"We wish to thank Antoine Baril, Christian Pacaud, and Sébastien Pittet, for their loyal services and for the incredible help they've been to the band, as well as live musicians Tommy McKinnon and Robin Stone.
"The time has come for AUGURY to birth a new interplanetary opus, faithful to the original spirit of the group, which made its reputation with its two first albums, 'Concealed' and 'Fragmentary Evidence'."
Formed in Montreal, Quebec at the end of 2001, AUGURY immediately made an impact in the Canadian death metal scene with its technical/classically inspired progressive death metal attack. The unit entered the studio with Yannick St-Amand (MARTYR, UNEXPECT) in 2004 to record their "Concealed" debut. The record was mixed by Jean-Francois Dagenais (KATAKLYSM, MISERY INDEX) and then set loose upon the anxious public. After the release of "Concealed", AUGURY signed with Nuclear Blast Records, who in 2009 unveiled the band's critically acclaimed 2009 album "Fragmentary Evidence", further cementing the band's name into the upper ranks of the progressive death scene.
AUGURY 2012 is:
Patrick Loisel - Guitar, Vocals
Mathieu Marcotte - Guitar
Dominic "Forest" Lapointe - Bass
Étienne Gallo - Drums

Former SABATON Members Launch CIVIL WAR
 According to the Swedish-language newspaper Dalarnas Tidningar (DT), former SABATON members Rikard Sundén (guitar), Daniel Mullback (drums), Daniel Mÿhr (keyboards) and Oskar Montelius (guitar) have formed a new band, CIVIL WAR, with singer Patrik Johansson (ASTRAL DOORS, LION'S SHARE) and bassist Stefan "Pizza" Eriksson (VOLTURYON). The group is currently writing songs for its debut album.
"It came pretty naturally," Mullback stated about CIVIL WAR's formation. "We always thought Patrik had a good voice and he accepted our offer when we asked him to join the band."
"I had no hesitation about getting involved," Patrik said. "ASTRAL DOORS certainly has a solid fan base, but we are a little more underground. I see this as an opportunity to reach a wider audience."
The four ex members of SABATON were never involved in the songwriting process with their former band since those duties were usually handled by vocalist Joakim Brodén. But in the new band, everyone is contributing ideas.
"This has been a reawakening of sorts," Mÿhr said. "I have never been in a situation where there has been so much creativity. We became a full band a week and a half ago and we already have 6-7 songs in the works."
CIVIL WAR will continue writing songs during the summer with the hopes of releasing an EP this fall. A full-length album is tentatively due early next year.
When asked how the new band will sound, Johansson said, "The one thing we all agree on is that we want to have good melodies. We can rock as hard as ever, but the melodies are important."
On the topic of whether CIVIL WAR will continue SABATON's tradition of focusing on war-related themes in its lyrics, Mÿhr said, "No, we won't. Now the lyrics can be about anything. [CIVIL WAR was just] a good name that sounded good."
Although the details behind SABATON's split with Sundén, Mullback, Mÿhr and Montelius have not been fully revealed, the group's former members make it clear that they have not spoken with Brodén and SABATON bassist Pär Sundström since they went their separate ways.
"There have been rumors that we did not want to continue playing together anymore but that is simply not the case," said Mullback. There are also many people who believe that we are not playing on the new SABATON album, ['Carolus Rex'], that it's the new band that recorded the tracks. But that's not true either. It is us."

 The video for GODSMACK's cover of JOE WALSH's "Rocky Mountain Way" can be seen at RevolverMag.com. The song comes off GODSMACK's first-ever live album, "Live & Inspired", which sold around 16,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 19 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Released on May 15 via Universal Republic Records, "Live & Inspired" features fierce and furious live renditions of numerous hits from the Massachusetts rockers' five studio albums. Their incendiary and infectious shows have become legendary in modern rock, and they continue to impress both critics and audiences alike every time they hit the stage. The group sounds unchained on rousing performances of "Awake", "Keep Away", "Straight Out of Line", "Whatever", "Voodoo", and "I Stand Alone".
This is the first time that's been captured on CD, and bonus tracks of covers that have "inspired" GODSMACK is also going to be included along with it. The four tracks are quite close to the band's collective heart. The band started ripping through local Massachusetts haunts with their renditions of some of these songs, and these recordings bring everything full circle.
"Live & Inspired" track listing is as follows:
CD 1 (Live):
01. Straight Outta Line
02. Realign
03. Awake
04. Moon Baby
05. Changes
06. The Enemy
07. Keep Away
08. Speak
09. Voodoo
10. Batalla De Los Tambores
11. Whatever
12. Serenity
13. I Stand Alone
CD 2 (Inspired):
01. Rocky Mountain Way (JOE WALSH cover)
02. Come Together (THE BEATLES cover)
03. Time (PINK FLOYD cover)
04. Nothing Else Matters (METALLICA cover)
About the collection, frontman Sully Erna reveals, "'Live & Inspired' is our way of saying 'Thank you' to all of our fans for believing in us throughout the years, and helping us to become a great live band! Along with this ass-whooping set live from Detroit Rock City, we've also included four cover songs of our favorite hits in the past to show you that, we too, are simply just fans that appreciate nothing more than good old fashion ass-kicking rock 'n' roll! Enjoy!"
Erna told Loudwire in a recent interview, "We were going to do a compilation with this song from Vegas, this song is from Chicago, this one is from Dallas, but I don't know, the more we listened to the Detroit show, the more we kind of figured out that it was a really good show for us."
Erna also said that GODSMACK has nothing but love for the Motor City, explaining, "It's always a great audience, as any rock band will tell you. Playing there is a special kind of fanbase that they have there, they live up to their reputation. They're a great rock audience."
In addition, the quartet encouraged its legion of supporters to be a part of the release. The collection's packaging actually showcases a variety of fan photos. Fans may submit live snapshots of the group on stage, pictures of themselves rocking out at GODSMACK concerts, or photos of their tattoos of the group's iconic logo on the band's official Facebook. Now, the winning photos adorn the album's booklet and packaging.
The first single from "Live & Inspired", GODSMACK's cover of JOE WALSH's "Rocky Mountain Way", can be streamed using the audio player below.
GODSMACK's fifth studio album, "The Oracle", opened with 117,000 copies back in May 2010 to land at No. 1.

NILE: New Song Available For Streaming
 South Carolina-based extreme technical death metallers NILE will release their seventh full-length album, "At The Gate Of Sethu", in Europe on June 29 and in the U.S. on July 3 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2009's "Those Whom The Gods Detest" was once again produced and mixed by Neil Kernon, who has previously worked with NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, QUEENSRŸCHE and DEICIDE, among many others. The CD artwork was handled by a true genius of darkened visuals, Seth Siro Anton (SOILWORK, PARADISE LOST, SEPTICFLESH).
Commented NILE mastermind Karl Sanders: "Seth Siro Anton has designed the cover. I have been a fan of SEPTICFLESH a long time, and as Seth expressed interest, I knew that he would deliver a great job. I would say his work is easily the best we've ever had. He has captured the darker side of the sound of NILE and reflected the music and ideas, the heart and soul of NILE are forming. Seth is a very talented man and understands exactly who we are."
Added Seth Siro Anton: "It is no secret that I admire the powerful stylistic lines of the magical symbols that still transmit the aura of ancient Egypt, preserving in time the ancient mysteries. Also, I am fascinated from the final frozen moment of the flesh captured in an eternal sleeping stasis, at the completion of the mummification process. So, with a great pleasure I accepted the challenge, to visualize the new masterpiece of NILE, 'At The Gate Of Sethu'."
In a recent interview with CobraMetal.net, Sanders stated about "At The Gate Of Sethu", "Well, we started [working on it] in May of last year (2011) after we finished our European tour. We worked on that fucking record for 10 months straight, to the exclusion of all else. (Laughs) Long hours, every day."
Regarding the new album's concept, Karl said, "It's in similar territory to other NILE records in that a lot of it stems from Ancient Egyptology and sort of has underlying modern themes tied in. We haven't abandoned our identity and I don't believe you should fuck over your fans. If your fans like what you do, and you change too much of what you do, fans don't like it. What matters to me is when I'm out on tour and I meet the actual fans and they share their thoughts…those are the people that I listen to. There's a lot of new ideas within the realm of what we do that we tried to incorporate. We studied real hard on the guitar and have lots of new riffs and musical ideas. There are a lot of surprises on the record."
When asked if fans can expect any guest appearances on the new NILE CD, Karl said, "Jon Vesano is all over this record. (Our former singer and bass guitarist who we're still good friends with.) Jon did some guest vocals on "Those Whom The Gods Detest" and it made us realize all over again all the things we really liked about Jon's vocals. We wanted to incorporate some of his insanity. [laughs] He's wicked, man. He knows how to channel that inner possession. He finds a way to summon it. It's great stuff."
"At The Gate Of Sethu" track listing (North American/European digipack):
01. Enduring The Eternal Molestation Of Flame
02. The Fiends Who Come To Steal The Magick Of The Deceased
03. The Inevitable Degradation Of Flesh

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA: New Song Available For Streaming
 THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA — the new classic-rock band featuring Björn Strid (SOILWORK) and Sharlee D' Angelo (ARCH ENEMY, SPIRITUAL BEGGARS) — will release its debut album, "Internal Affairs", on June 18 via Coroner Records.
"Internal Affairs" track listing:
01. Siberian Queen
02. California Morning
03. Glowing City Madness
04. West Ruth Ave
05. Transatlantic Blues
06. Miami 5:02
07. Internal Affairs
08. 1998
09. Stella Ain't No Dove
10. Montreal Midnight Supply
11. Green Hills Of Glumslöv
12. American High (digipak bonus track)
The song "Montreal Midnight Supply" is available for streaming at the Coroner Records Facebook page.
Check out audio samples of the entire CD at Amazon.com.
THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA started like so many others as an innocent yet serious drunken idea when Strid and David Andersson (MEAN STREAK, session musician for SOILWORK) were on the road together somewhere in North America in 2007. Björn and David were bonding over what they considered "classic" or not, from rock and roll conspiracies to being arrested in a lobby with nothing but leather pants on. All those scenarios, fictional or real, needed a soundtrack. They also came to think that whether you're on a metal tour or not, a lot of classic rock songs say it all and can really lend you a helping hand and make you forget about everything, especially when in motion or travelling. The classic escape. The never-ending road trip. The transatlantic night flight. It may sound simple and naive, but what it all comes down to is that we all need that soundtrack to feel extra special, whether you have been arrested in a lobby or not.
It didn't take long before bass player D' Angelo joined forces as well as keyboard player Richard Larsson (VON BENZO) and drummer Jonas Källsbäck (MEAN STREAK). The goal was to reclaim the '70s/early '80s sense for classic melody, the forgotten recipe to a timeless song, preferably a song mentioning a city, street name or an exhilarating alcoholic beverage. Anything that will have you spitting out the word "classic." From "Tarot Woman" to "Badlands", from "Rhiannon" to "Running on Empty", from "Blind Man" to "Night Moves", from "Deuce" to "Separate Ways", from "Elected" to "Set me Free". The list goes on. It's all about reclaiming the "classic." | 0 | |

BELPHEGOR Preparing To Enter Studio
 Austrian blackened death metal outfit BELPHEGOR will enter Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida on May 29 with producer Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL, MORBID ANGEL, CANNIBAL CORPSE) to begin recording its as-yet-untitled new album for a January 2013 release via Nuclear Blast Records. The recording sessions and the mixing/mastering process will be completed by mid-October.
Commented bassist Serpenth: "All right, a new chapter. These are the last days before we hit the Mana studios in Florida. We're all set. The nine sound collages are faster and more aggressive than on the previous album, 'Blood Magick Necromance'."
Added guitarist/vocalist Helmuth Lehner: "The last rehearsals turned out fantastic. We get every arrangement to its highest audial potential. Added alot of new haunting and compelling structures/ rhythm parts and tritones intervals: tones that were forbidden by the damn church in middle ages. We're on fire. Expect more shredding, more magick, more of everything."
Rutan previously stated about the upcoming CD: "I am very excited to be recording and mixing the new BELPHEGOR album at Mana. After many discussions with Helmuth and hearing some clips of new material, I know that the band is very focused and determined on making a harmoniously evil extreme masterpiece. We shall make one beast of an album that the fans have come to expect from BELPHEGOR!"
Several photos from the rehearsal sessions can be found at this location.
BELPHEGOR's last album, "Blood Magick Necromance", was released in January 2011 in Europe and February 2011 in the U.S. via Nuclear Blast Records. The album was produced by Peter Tägtgren (IMMORTAL, CELTIC FROST, HYPOCRISY, DIMMU BORGIR) at his Abyss Studios in Pärlby, Sweden and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren.

THE INTERBEING: 'Shadow Drift' Video Released
 "Shadow Drift", the new video from the Copenhagen, Denmark-based industrial metal band THE INTERBEING, can be seen below. The clip was directed by Alexander Hørup, who spent years working closely with the Danish music video director Casper Balslev on videos for THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA, DUNÉ and MARINA & THE DIAMONDS, among others. The team behind the video also includes one of Denmark's the best music video editors, Jens Høll, who has edited videos for some of the biggest Danish bands, including KASHMIR, L.O.C and CARPARK NORTH.
Commented THE INTERBEING lead singer Dara Toibin: "We chose the song 'Shadow Drift' because it shows a slightly different side of the band compared with the rest of our album. The atmosphere is more melancholic and the lyrics are based on a surreal world, where the one's shadow is a separate individual who the main character tries to merge with. In the video, the black liquid symbolizes the persons' shadows, and during the video the liquid covers each personality more and more. The little boy with the rabbit mask is partly inspired by the psychological thriller 'Donnie Darko' from 2001 and he represents the characters' 'alternative self.' His role is very essential for the development of the video. We all think the whole process has been awesome and fascinating. From the very beginning we were on the same level with Alexander. It was a very ambitious project which succeeded to a full extent, and we are extremely happy with the result."
"Shadow Drift" comes off THE INTERBEING's debut album, "Edge Of The Obscure", which was released last year through Mighty Music. According to a press release, the CD "clearly underlines THE INTERBEING to be a well-defined and visionary band. The record contains a low tuned and polyrhythmic soundscape with melodic elements and bleak electronic ambience. Tight, aggressive, melodic and atmospheric are the key concepts. The sound co-exists with the lyrics which revolve around a fictional inner being. The listener follows this creature through dystopian and distinct worlds and the record ends with the creature reaching the edge."
"Edge Of The Obscure" track listing:
01. Elusive Atmosphere
02. Pulse within the Paradox
03. Tongue of the Soiled
04. Face Deletion
05. Fields of Grey
06. Shadow Drift
07. Swallowing White Light
08. In the Transcendence
09. Celestial Flames
10. Rhesus Artificial
11. Ledge of Oblivion
THE INTERBEING was formed in 2006 and released one demo, "Perceptual Confusion", two years later.

ADORNED BROOD - unterschreiben bei MASSACRE RECORDS!
 MASSACRE RECORDS sind stolz die Pagan Metal Pioniere ADORNED BROOD bei begrüßen zu dürfen! Als die Band 1993 gegründet wurde, waren ADORNED BROOD lediglich ein paar junge Metalheads, die Metal liebten und ihren ganz eigenen Sound entwickeln wollten, indem sie extremen Metal mit Folk-Elementen, wie der Flöte, verbanden. Mittlerweile jedoch kann die Band auf stattliche sieben Studioalben zurückblicken, darunter unter anderem "Asgard", "Heldentat", "Noor" und das aktuelle Album "Hammerfeste".
Auch wenn es in der Vergangenheit zu personellen Veränderungen innerhalb der Band kam, ließen sich ADORNED BROOD nie unterkriegen und blieben sich bis heute treu. Neben Auftritten bei diversen Festivals, u.a. dem Wacken Open Air und dem Summer Breeze, spielten sie unzählige Konzerte. Darunter u.a. als Support für Bands wie Subway To Sally, TYR, Alestorm, Turisas oder Korpiklaani.
Sänger und Bassist Frost, Schlagzeuger Mischa, die Gitarristen Thorsten und Jan, Keyboarder Niklas und Flötistin Anne arbeiten derzeit an neuem Material für ihr achtes Album, das im Herbst 2012 erscheinen soll. Die Band kommentiert: "Wir freuen uns auf eine fruchtbare Zusammenarbeit mit einem traditionsreichen Label, welches uns viel Vertrauen schenkt und uns bestmöglich unterstützt. Außerdem ist es uns eine Ehre, das Label mit namhaften Künstlern wie Eisregen, Legion of the Damned und Wolfchant zu teilen!"
ADORNED BROOD und ihre Labelkollegen CORONATUS werden beim diesjährigen Gothic Festival #1, dem WGT (Wave Gotik Treffen), auftreten das in an diesem Wochenende stattfindet! | 0 | |

Surviving Members Of MAD SEASON Reunite On Stage In Seattle (Video)
 PEARL JAM's Mike McCready reunited with ex-SCREAMING TREES drummer Barrett Martin during a benefit concert this past Wednesday (May 23) at Seattle's Showbox Theatre to perform MAD SEASON's single "River Of Deceit". They were joined on stage by vocalist Jeff Rouse (DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED) and bassist Rick Friel. Video footage of the performance can be seen below.
McCready recently told Kentucky radio station WFPK that MAD SEASON, the Seattle supergroup that featured him, late ALICE IN CHAINS singer Layne Staley and members of the SCREAMING TREES, could be making a semi-return later this year. McCready said that he plans to reissue the group's one album, 1995's "Above", as well as a live record, and added that there is unreleased material in the vault that he would like to complete and release.
Asked about the unreleased music, McCready said, "We were trying to do another record, but it just didn't work, Layne went off and did ALICE IN CHAINS and then he died. So, what happened was, I had to change the band name to DISINFORMATION. From the DISINFORMATION sessions there are probably twelve songs, and out of that, probably eight that are pretty great. They need to be edited, but they're all music, so we're trying to find singers that are up to the caliber of Layne to do justice to it."
McCready added that he hopes to have the singers in place soon and get the material into the hands of fans before the end of the year.
MAD SEASON officially dissolved in 1999 following the death of bassist John Baker Saunders. Staley died three years later in 2002.
MAD SEASON's sole album, "Above", was certified gold for sales of half a million copies and yielded two Top 20 modern rock singles, "River Of Deceit" and "I Don't Know Anything". | 0 | |

METALLICA Drummer Says That He Took His 'Hemingway & Gellhorn' Acting Role 'Very Seriously'
 METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has a role in the HBO film "Hemingway & Gellhorn", which is scheduled to premiere on Monday, May 28 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. After appearing as himself in the 2004 documentary "Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster" and the 2010 comedy "Get Him To The Greek", Ulrich plays an actual character in this film, which is a fictionalized account of the relationship between author Ernest Hemingway and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn. The couple are played by Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman, while Ulrich portrays Dutch documentarian Joris Ivens.
Ulrich told USA Today that while he enjoys appearing in movies, he's not interested in pursuing a full-fledged acting career.
"I don't have big acting career aspirations, but I love dabbling in different processes," he said. "I wasn't chasing this, but I couldn't say no."
He added, "I took it very seriously. I studied the difference between how a Dutch person would say things in English and the way I would as a Dane. Most people couldn't tell the difference, but I can. And it needed to be right."
Ulrich said that he enjoyed his acting foray, but feels more at home with his first love.
"In a movie, you are a tool serving the director's vision, and that's as it should be. But in the world of music, I get to help make the decisions," he said.
METALLICA is also getting into the movie business on its own, producing its own 3D film to be directed by Nimród Antal, best known for the movie "Predators".
The movie, which will be some sort of combination of concert footage and storyline, will begin shooting this August and is tentatively scheduled to arrive in theatres in the summer of 2013.

TARJA TURUNEN Working On Concert DVD, Music For Next Studio Album
 Former NIGHTWISH vocalist Tarja Turunen had her March 30 and March 31 performances at Teatro El Círculo in Rosario, Argentina professionally filmed for her upcoming concert DVD, "Act I", tentatively due before the end of the year. Each of the two shows featured a different setlist with the exception of five songs, including three tracks from Tarja's time with her previous band ("Nemo", "The Phantom Of The Opera" and "Over The Hills And Far Away").
In other news, Tarja is in pre-production for her third solo album, which is expected to be released sometime next year. She says, "I have 25 songs where to choose the best ones for the album. Some of the musicians are already working on them with me."
Turunen's latest project, HARUS, in December released a CD/DVD/Blu-ray, entitled "In Concert - Live At Sibelius Hall".
The first output of HARUS features traditional and emotional music from Finland presented together with more international repertoire.
Tarja's sophomore solo album, "What Lies Beneath", sold around 1,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 24 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"What Lies Beneath" was released in North America on September 14, 2010 via The End Records.

PURIFIED IN BLOOD: Another New Song Available For Streaming
 Norwegian metallers PURIFIED IN BLOOD will release their new album, "Flight Of A Dying Sun", in Europe on June 15 via Indie Recordings. The cover artwork was created by Jondix Mahashakti and can be seen below.
A new single, "Storm Of Blood", has jus tbeen released and can be streamed using the SoundCloud player below.
"This is the missing link between 'Reaper Of Souls' and 'Under Black Skies'," says PURIFIED IN BLOOD singer Hallgeir S. Enoksen.
PURIFIED IN BLOOD's new album was recorded with Jacob Bredahl, who previously worked with band on 2006's "Reaper Of Souls", a CD known for its rawness and intensity.
This time around, PURIFIED IN BLOOD's second singer Glenn Reaper was not involved in the recording process and Hallgeir faced a new challenge being the band's sole vocalist — a challenge he stepped up to for the past one and a half year with no problems whatsoever. His voice range has developed a lot the past year singing alone and he takes on the task "with no remorse, no repent."
"Flight Of A Dying Sun" features guest appearances by Glenn Reaper on the power anthem "Iron Hands"; Erlend Hjelvik (KVELERTAK) on "Mot Grav"; Kjetil Møster (DATAROCK, ULTRALYD, MØSTER) on saxophone, Ådne Sæverud on organ and Jens Borge (SKADNE KREK) on double bass. Last but certainly not least they have Siberian throat singer Albert Kuvezin on board to start the whole album with his voice of war.
"Flight Of A Dying Sun" track listing:
01. The Absolute
02. Storm Of Blood
03. Mot Grav
04. Iron Hands
05. Mind Is Fire
06. Escape To Solace
07. Void
08. Flight Of A Dying Sun | 0 | |

The album features 12 tracks top to tail, and it will be available on digipak CD, digital download and double colored vinyl in gatefold sleeve.
"Awoken Broken" track listing:
01. No Friendly Neighbour (4:53)
02. No Place Like Home (3:06)
03. I See Lights (4:59)
04. Bright As A Fire (6:21)
05. Savage World (3:38)
06. Tortured Tone (5:08)
07. White Sheet Robes (5:16)
08. As Tears Come Falling From The Sky (0:47)
09. Awoken Broken (4:58)
10. Search For Bliss (4:13)
11. Snake Ladders (4:43)
12. Mirror and the Moon (5:04)
An audio interview with Smith and Goodman about "Awoken Broken" can be streamed using the SoundCloud player below.
The brainchild of Adrian Smith and Mikee Goodman, U.K. musicians with different stories to tell, PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION is a fresh new project that manages to be both reassuring and unexpected at one and the same time…
On the one side, there's Adrian, a key member of the IRON MAIDEN setup, a band he first joined back in 1980; and since that time, MAIDEN has gone on to become one of the biggest hard rock bands the world has seen, playing to vast and staunchly committed crowds all over the world, opening exciting new doors in parts of the globe many people will never even have heard of! Their last studio album, "The Final Frontier", hit the No 1 slot in over 28 countries!
With MAIDEN's reputation having been forged through their ability to blend well-crafted vocal and guitar melodies with the sheer brute force of prime heavy metal, it will surely come as no surprise that the debut PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION album, "Awoken Broken", delivers fully on both fronts, but with an extra nod to the underground, the alternative and the downright edgy — an aspect of the music that is enhanced from start to finish by the presence of one-time SIKTH frontman / lyric-writer/spoken-word maestro, Mikee Goodman.
With SIKTH now universally lauded as one of the major inspirations of the new "Djent" movement, it's perfect timing for Mikee to return to the music scene in full force, following that band's decision to take a break after their second "Death Of A Dead Day" album back in 2006; Mikee's unique vocal approach — an arresting, signature blend of spoken word plus a wide variety of vocal tones (some dark and disturbing, others that owe a debt to the world of animation) — was very much a part of what made SIKTH stand out from the chasing pack, and fans will be delighted to know that his key vocal mannerisms have been both retained and honed for PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION, in a form tightly bound to the structure of the songs themselves.
Yes, there are spoken-word elements, and yes, there are more extreme vocal moments peppered throughout the tracks, but generally speaking, this is a more mature and experienced Mikee, showcasing a strong, melodic voice plus an impressive vocal range, using the more "adventurous" end of his repertoire as a way of providing contrast and effect.
In essence, PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION is the meeting of different minds, different mentalities and different musical backgrounds, but the end result is very much a cohesive, self-produced whole… albeit one that reflects the individual talents of the musicians involved: Adrian provides the guitars, the bass and the advanced song-writing skills — the sense of drama, of light and shade, of music designed to stir the senses, all of them.
Right from the start, it's been very much a labor of love…
Adrian: "It was great working at my own pace and in my own studio with no time constraints. I think during the making of this album I went around the world twice with MAIDEN, working on the project in between. In the process, it allowed for a bit more of an experimental approach."
Meanwhile, Mikee goes head to head with this renowned player as a full writing & production partner, adding new (sometimes surprising, often experimental) layers to the tracks, and ensuring that the music glistens with an inherent contemporary sheen.
Mikee: "Adrian inspired me in many ways. I learnt the importance and the power of choruses in songs. Adrian also gave me a lot more belief in myself melodically. I think we pulled each other out of our comfort zones, creating something fresh and exciting along the way. We co-produced the album together, and the whole recording process was very relaxed — no deadlines, just honing the songs naturally as we recorded them, a new experience for both of us."
In addition to the PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION pair, there are backing vocals on three of the tracks (delivered by Tarin Kerry, discovered by Mikee while he was acting as producer for a band she was in), viola on the bulk of the songs (provided by Abi Fry of BAT FOR LASHES), plus original SIKTH member Dan "Loord" Foord on drums.
The track "I See Lights" can be streamed using the SoundCloud player below.
PRIMAL ROCK REBELLION was originally scheduled to play a "one-off, under-the-radar" gig on January 15, 2011 at the Wycombe Bucks Student Union, but the gig ended up being canceled after it was inadvertently advertised via the Internet.

STRATOVARIUS - Infos zur DVD \'Under Flaming Winter Skies - Live In Tampere\'!
 STRATOVARIUS sind eindeutig eine der erfolgreichsten Metalbands aus Finnland. Bekannt wurden sie vor allem durch ihren eindrucksvollen Powermetal, aber auch durch ihre eingeschworene Fangemeide und intensiven Liveperformances. "Under Flaming Winter Skies - Live In Tampere" kombiniert nun das Beste von STRATOVARIUS in einem Paket. Seit ihrer Bandgründung 1982 veröffentlichte STRATOVARIUS 14 genreprägende Alben.
Großer Teil des markanten Sounds war das Schlagzeugspiel von Jörg Michael, der seit 1995 nicht aus der Band wegzudenken ist. Nachdem der Drummer 2011 seinen Ausstieg aus der Band aus persönlichen Gründen bekannt gab, ging die Band im Herbst 2011 auf große Tournee, um Jörg Michael mit einem gehörigen Knall zu verabschieden. Dieses einmalige und emotionale Konzerterlebnis ist nun exklusiv auf Doppel-CD, DVD sowie Blu-ray erhältlich.Das fast zweistündige Konzert wurde am 19. November 2011 in der Pakkahuone Halle in Tampere, Finland aufgenommen und glänzt mit einer imposanten Setlist, gespickt mit Klassikern wie "Under Flaming Skies", "Speed Of Light" und "Hunting High And Low". Als exklusives Bonusmaterial enthält die DVD eine halbstündige Dokumentation, die die Bandgeschichte von damals bis heute aufrollt und einen intimen Einblick hinter die Kulissen einer der erfolgreichsten Metalbands weltweit gibt. In ehrlichen Interviews stehen alle Bandmitglieder Rede und Antwort und auch Jörg Michaels Beweggründe für den Ausstieg kommen zur Sprache.
Die hochwertig, jeweils anders gestalteten Booklets der 2CD, DVD und Blu-ray sind mit raren Bildern sowie einem Interview mit Jörg Michael, in dem dieser seine Zeit bei Stratovarius Revue passieren lässt, gespickt. Die einwandfreie Sound- und Bildqualität runden das Paket ab. "Under Flaming Winter Skies - Live In Tampere" feiert noch einmal die großartige Ära mit Jörg Michael. Aber keine Angst! 2013 werden Stratovarius fulminant mit einem neuen Studioalbum zurückkehren.
"Under Flaming Winter Skies - Live In Tampere" kommt als 2CD, DVD und Blue Ray am 29. Juni 2012 via earMUSIC / Edel in den Handel.

UGLY KID JOE: 'Devil's Paradise' Video Released
 "Devil's Paradise", the new video from reunited hard rockers UGLY KID JOE, can be seen below. The clip was filmed a video in early April in Lake Tahoe, Nevada with Mike and Dave Hatchett of Standard Films.
"Devil's Paradise" comes off UGLY KID JOE's new six-song EP, "Stairway To Hell", which will be released digitally on June 5 and physically on July 9.
"Stairway To Hell" heralds UGLY KID JOE's return, containing songs spanning the full repertoire of influences which made UGLY KID JOE one of the prime soundtracks for young snowboarders, surfers, keggers and characters worldwide. Whether it's "Devil’s Paradise", with it's hypnotic riffery and hook line, grooving and grinding its hips seductively, the melodic power-fueled darkness of "No One Survives" or the irrepressibly memorable chug-and-chorus of "I'm Alright" it's clear that UGLY KID JOE have everything they started with plus fatter chops and a (frankly) superior curve on songwriting.
UGLY KID JOE released three full-length albums and toured extensively throughout the 1990s before disbanding in 1997.
UGLY KID JOE 2012 is:
Whitfield Crane - vocals
Klaus Eichstadt - guitar
Dave Fortman - guitar
Cordell Crockett - bass
Shannon Larkin - drums

METALLICA's TRUJILLO Financing Film About Late Bass Legend JACO PASTORIUS
 According to USA Today, METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo is financing a movie about the late Grammy-winning jazz bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius. Tentatively titled "Jaco", the documentary is being directed by Stephen Kijak, who helmed 2010's "Stones In Exile", the 2010 film about the recording of the 1972 THE ROLLING STONES album "Exile On Main St."
"Jaco was my hero growing up," Trujillo tells USA Today. "Hearing him was like hearing Eddie Van Halen doing 'Eruption' for the first time: You thought, 'What instrument is that?' I loved jazz fusion and branched out from there. But Jaco had an edge that far exceeded his jazz persona. He was funk, he was rock, he was soul. And his whole attitude was punk."
Trujillo added, "The film for me is from the heart."
Pastorius, who was bipolar and had wrestled with substance abuse, died in 1987 at age 35 following a violent altercation at a Fort Lauderdale bar.
"Jaco" will feature commentaries from Sting, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' Flea, Carlos Santana and director Mike Figgis, among others.
