SYSTEM OF A DOWN Frontman Takes Part In Public Discussion In Armenia
 On August 15, SYSTEM OF A DOWN frontman Serj Tankian — who is of Armenian descent — took part in a public discussion in Yerevan, the capital and largest city of Armenia, where he addressed more than 200 civil society members. Video footage of the hour-long event, which was organized by the Civilitas Foundation, a Yerevan think-tank, and the local office of Counterpart International, a U.S. civic development agency, can be seen below. A couple of highlights from the discussion follow.
On his belief that Armenia has done "pretty well" since gaining independence two decades ago:
Serj: "I think we need to establish the rule of law in this country. I think having a rule of law in the country from top to bottom will alleviate a lot of concerns, whether it's traffic tickets or taxes or wages or how many hours someone should work. It's all connected to this one thing of enforcing the rule of law. And the efficiencies created by the lowering of corruption will actually really spur productivity in this country … and that will make it easier for foreign and local investment."
On the need for a strict separation between business and politics:
Serj: "In Armenia we have business and politics in the same seat. So one of them has got to get off the seat. You know, they can't be sitting in the same space. Otherwise, it looks like an orgy."
On how Armenians should be "patient" in expecting positive changes in their country:
Serj: "We are a 20-year-old country and in retrospect, if you look at the whole situation, I think we are doing pretty well, despite everything that we talked about. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. There is a lot of potential, there is a lot of energy."
On the Teghut project, which if implemented, would lead to the destruction of some 128,000 trees, wreaking further havoc on Armenia's green areas, which have steadily shrunk since the 1990s:
Serj: "I think open-pit mining is very dangerous in this country and everywhere else. I think we'll be poisoning our lives by opening up that mine in the Teghut forest."
The members of SYSTEM OF A DOWN, who are of Armenian descent, all lost family members and family history to the Armenian genocide.
During the first genocide of the 20th century, perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey during World War I against its Armenian population, over 1.5 million Armenians were annihilated and hundreds of thousands deported from their ancient homeland.

Ex-NEVERMORE Drummer: WARREL DANE\'s Comments Verify That I Made The Right Decision In Leaving
 Former NEVERMORE drummer Van Williams has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding his departure from the band:
"I'd just like to say for the record, playing in NEVERMORE consumed a huge part of my life from the time we got signed together back in '94 up until just a few months ago. During this time, the band has shared a lot of blood, sweat, tears and beers together, good times, bad times, and made some pretty cool music along the way, in my opinion, and I am proud to have been part of that with Warrel [Dane, vocals], Jeff [Loomis, guitar], Jim [Sheppard, bass] and all the great guitar players we've had in between.
"About Warrel's comment [ in a recent interview] ('I mean, I could give a shit about our drummer — we never got along anyway'), It's unfortunate to hear that after all we've been through, but a statement like that really just verifies that I made the right decision in leaving. And so I move on, I wish all luck in your future endeavors... and yes, even 'the singer.' :)
"With that being said, you know what they say: 'It's onward and upwards!' ...or sideways..."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD \'Not Really Thinking About\' Next Album Yet
 It's been just over a year since AVENGED SEVENFOLD released its fifth album, "Nightmare", and the band can see the end of the touring and promotional cycle for it approaching sometime in the first half of 2012. But singer M. Shadows told The Pulse Of Radio that making a follow-up to the group's first No. 1 disc is the furthest thing from their minds right now. "We're not really thinking about it," he said. "I think bands burn themselves out. I mean, look what happened to DISTURBED. You get caught up in the 'do a record, tour for two years, do a record, tour for two years.' We just need to make sure everybody's mentally in the right spot before we start writing and doing a new record. Right now, I think we're gonna tour, go back to Europe in February, maybe finish up with a couple of things in Europe in the summer, and then take six, seven months and just sit around. If we decide to write, we will, if we decide not to, we won't."
DISTURBED announced earlier this month that it was going on "indefinite hiatus" after five studio albums and more than a decade on the road.
AVENGED bassist Johnny Christ admitted in a recent interview that writing the band's next album without late drummer James "The Rev" Sullivan is going to be "a very different process without having Jimmy around."

TESSERACT Announces New Singer
 U.K. progressive metallers TESSERACT have announced the addition of vocalist Elliot Coleman to the group's ranks. Elliot's huge range, distinctive character and brutal roars demonstrated on his work with OMNOM, SKY EATS AIRPLANE and ZELLIACK made him the perfect replacement for former vocalist, Dan Tompkins.
TESSERACT bassist Amos Williams makes the introduction: "We'd like to take this opportunity to introduce somebody special, Elliot Coleman. Some of you may know him as a member of ZELLIACK, SKY EATS AIRPLANE and OF LEGENDS, or maybe from OMNOM, or HAUNTED SHORES. Well, now he's part of TESSERACT!
"We're very excited about working with Elliot as we feel he has a great talent and personality, as well as, and most importantly, a voice that transcends the norm and continues the TESSERACT tradition of taking things to the next level."
Elliot's catalogue of work is as impressive as it is extensive, including numerous appearances with HAUNTED SHORES and a guest spot on PERIPHERY's track "Race Car". He most recently played bass in Washington D.C. tech metallers OF LEGENDS, but as a passionate vocalist, he jumped at the chance to front TESSERACT.
Commented Elliot: "I'm very much excited to be a part of the juggernaut that is TESSERACT. I know I have big shoes to fill, as Dan is a fantastic vocalist, but I'm confident that we'll be producing some great new music in the coming year and I'll be adding some new flavors to this ever-evolving machine."
Tompkins left TESSERACT in July due to other life priorities. He explained in a statement, "This has been the most difficult decision I have had to make in my career as a singer. My priorities in life have changed and as such I can no longer continue with the band. Our friendships are strong and I wish to thank Acle, Mos, Jay and James for all their support and dedication over the past few years. We have achieved great things, travelled the world and met many incredible people and I stand proud to say that I have been a part of the band's success and helped to carve a wonderful album. I will hold onto these memories for the rest of my life. It has been an incredible journey and it is certainly not the end for myself or TESSERACT. I look forward to new beginnings and wish my good friends all the very best for the future."
Added Amos: "You know, when you travel so far and spend so much time together, as well as achieving as much as we have over the past three years, you become like family. And it is precisely because of that close bond that we fully understand and respect Dan's choice to no longer be a part of TESSERACT. We are and will always be close friends, and hope there will be a time in the future when we will work together again. Thank you, buddy, for being part of the TESSERACT journey; we will always have fond memories of the Dan Tompkins years!"
Approaching the lineup adjustment as a progression rather than a setback, TESSERACT is already hard at work writing the follow-up to the critically acclaimed album "One" with Elliot.
TESSERACT will headline the "Lowering The Tone" European tour in September and October before heading to the U.S. for the "Saints And Sinners" trek in November and December with ANIMALS AS LEADERS and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME.

CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED: New Album Details Revealed
 CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED — the project led by acclaimed metal drummer Richard Christy (ICED EARTH, DEATH, LEASH LAW, CONTROL DENIED, BURNING INSIDE) — has set "Cold Winds On Timeless Days" as the title of its sophomore CD, due on October 11 via Metal Blade Records. Audiohammer's Jason Suecof produced and Mark Lewis mixed, while mastering was handled by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (SEPULTURA, SUFFOCATION, UNEARTH) in New Windsor, New York. Christy states, "It's 12 songs of crushing heavy metal and I CAN'T WAIT for everyone to hear it.
"I'm VERY proud of this album — everyone worked so hard on it and when you listen to it, it definitely shows."
The writing process for "Cold Winds On Timeless Days" actually began while the band was mixing its 2010 debut. Christy used his experience on the first album to write songs that catered not only to each member's playing style, but to Jason Suecof's production style. The result: demos that turned out nearly identical to what ended up on the album.
With 12 songs clocking in at 58 minutes, fans are getting a lot more music this time around. Recording twelve songs in a short amount of time is no easy feat, but one that was accomplished because of the stellar talents in the band. Christy elaborates further: "I wanted to get a natural sound out of this album, I wanted everyone to be well rehearsed, not that I wanted the album to be rushed, but I wanted the spontaneous live feel and not over think anything too much." Christy describes "Cold Winds on Timeless Days" as a "perfect storm of producing."
"Cold Winds On Timeless Days" track listing:
01. Timeless Days
02. Ashes Falling Upon Us
03. Zerospan
04. Cold Winds
05. Lead The Way
06. Forever Marching On
07. Guiding Me
08. The Beast Outside My Window
09. On Unclean Ground
10. Bloodworm
11. Admire The Heroes
12. Avoid The Light

CRADLE OF FILTH: \'Evermore Darkly…\' Artwork Unveiled?
 French retailer Fnac has posted what appears to be the cover artwork for "Evermore Darkly…", the new mini-album from British extreme metallers CRADLE OF FILTH. Due on October 10 via Peaceville Records, the follow-up to last year's triumphant "Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa" album will arrive as a CD/DVD package including new tracks and rarities, with a lengthy on-the-road documentary and ten songs filmed live at this year's Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium, as well as the video for the song "Lilith Immaculate".
The "Evermore Darkly…" CD features brand new musical beast "Thank Your Lucky Stars", plus a special remix of "Forgive Me Father", courtesy of ANTHRAX guitarist Rob Caggiano, an extended rendition of "Lilith Immaculate", as well as tempered demo versions of three "Darkly, Darkly…" songs. The mini-album closes with a special taster from CRADLE OF FILTH's impending orchestral project in the form of a haunting, classic reworking of fan favorite "Summer Dying Fast".
The "Evermore Darkly…" DVD contains footage from summer 2011 when CRADLE OF FILTH embarked on a rapid spat of tours, accompanied by two eager filmmakers. The resulting documentary, "You Can't Polish A Turd, But You Can Roll It In Glitter", combined with performance and interview footage culminates in a forty five minute film of the not so glamorous reality of life in a touring band at work and play, as they trawl their way across Europe over eight performances. The DVD includes an interview with ghoul-guide Dani Filth, interspersed and peppered with live footage and backstage shenanigans, culminating in the entire hour long set from this year's Graspop Metal Meeting appearance.
According to Dani, "Evermore Darkly…" is "a much-loved musical stop-gap between albums, a pleasure treasure trove of wild and wicked wonders primed especially for fans. Something for them to sink their teeth into this autumn as the CRADLE invasion fleet is primed for future contagion."

EXODUS Guitarist Wanted To \'Reconnect\' With METALLICA\'s KIRK HAMMETT
 Guitarist Gary Holt of San Francisco Bay Area thrashers EXODUS has slammed Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL for allegedly forcing his band to cut its set short by three songs at this year's edition of the Bloodstock Open Air festival.
When asked by Toby Cook of The Quietus how Holt felt EXODUS' performance at Bloodstock — which was held August 12-14, 2011 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, United Kingdom — had gone, the guitarist replied, "Fuck HAMMERFALL, they can go suck a dick — they cost us, like, three songs! They can suck my balls!
"We had huge problems because HAMMERFALL's sound man rearranged the entire input list — and you just don't do that at festivals.
"I've nothing against them musically; I think they're a great band musically, but you're at a festival, you're not headlining you're actually playing under us — do your job right! They fucking made it difficult for everybody."
During the same interview, Holt also shed some light on what may have been his major motivation for agreeing to fill in for SLAYER's Jeff Hanneman for the recent "Big Four" Sonisphere shows.
"It was all about reconnecting with [current METALLICA and former EXODUS guitarist] Kirk [Hammett]," said Holt. "He was my best friend when we were in [EXODUS] together, and being able to spend time with him again and talk about the old days, that's what it was all about. It wasn't about playing with all the other bands; it was about reconnecting with a very good old friend. It was really, really nice."

In The Jaws Of The Serpent is the recording of a live performance by Sol Invictus in Tokyo in 1988.

Now, In The Jaws .. will be released as a stand-alone CD for the very first time, completed with a bonus DVD featuring a nearly 60-minute live performance by Sol Invictus in Hamburg on March 27th, 1993.
Featuring evergreens such as 'English Murder,' 'Media', and 'Looking For Europe', Trees In Winter has always been a highlight of every well-assorted Sol Invictus collection. The album hasn't been available since its original release back in 1990 and is now complemented by three bonus tracks from the 1991 vinyl-only singles, 'Looking For Europe' and 'See The Dove Fall / Somewhere In Europe'. The demo song 'See The Dove Fall' is included in a remixed version.
Like the previous Sol Invictus reissues, In The Jaws Of The Serpent and Trees In Winter will be released in portrait digipak format, feature new artworks as well as liner notes by Tony Wakeford, and will each be limited to 700 copies only.  | 0 |  |

METALLICA Drummer Reveals His Favorite ANTHRAX Song
 Revolver magazine conducted an interview with METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX for a special issue devoted to the "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal.
When asked to name his favorite ANTHRAX song, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich said, "There's so many. I don't know, the cover they did of 'Antisocial' [off 1988's 'State Of Euphoria'] by [French rock band] TRUST is obviously great. 'Got The Time', [off 1990's 'Persistence Of Time'] which is a cover originally by [English new-wave artist] JOE JACKSON was awesome. 'Only', which they did on the first record with [vocalist] John Bush [1993's 'Sound Of White Noise'] was great. There's tons of them, so I don't even know where to start. Fuck. I was up in the mountains the other day, skiing somewhere, and PUBLIC ENEMY came and played, so I went down and saw them. They played 'Bring the Noise', [which PUBLIC ENEMY re-recorded with ANTHRAX in 1991] which was cool to hear."
