JANI LANE (WARRANT)\'s Sister: \'Alcoholism Is Not Something He Chose\'

Jani Lane's older sister, Vicky Oswald-Ley, spoke to RadarOnline.com about her brother's decade-long battle with alcoholism which led him in and out of numerous rehab facilities over the years.

"Alcoholism is not something he chose," Vicky Oswald-Ley said. "It's something he fought every day and it just won."

"There were no drugs. That was one thing he could not tolerate, he couldn't stand them. He did not do drugs.

"We don't have the autopsy report back yet, but he was a heavy drinker and I can only guess that alcoholism has a lot to do with it.

"He would get clean and sober and then fall off the wagon. Our mom died seven years ago, and she was always the glue that kept us together. She would always talk him into going to rehab and hospitals. I think when she passed that desire to stay healthy died too."

"He was so talented and witty and bright, but he shut his siblings out and I know that is because he was ashamed of his drinking. We would all have flown out to Los Angeles from Ohio to bring him back if he'd let us but he isolated himself.

“There wasn't a day when one of us didn't try to contact him."

Vicky Oswald-Ley told RadarOnline.com that neither Lane's wife of a year, Kimberly, nor his manager have contacted the family since the singer's body was found.

"It would be common courtesy to call," she said. "We don't even know if there's a service.

"Why was he in a hotel? Why was he away from her (his wife)? Why was there isolation?" asked Vicky. "We have so many questions and don't know where to turn for answers."

JANI LANE (WARRANT)\'s Manager: \'I Lost A Very Dear Friend\'

Jani Lane's manager and good friend Obi Steinman has released the following statement regarding the passing of the former WARRANT singer:

"It is with great sadness that I announce to the music world and to all of Jani's fans that he has passed away.

"I lost a very dear friend.

"His family, including his young children, asks for privacy during this difficult time.

"Jani never gave up on his dream to entertain and bring music to the world. His memory will live on in his music and his songs helped shape '80s rock. I will miss him tremendously.

"Again, his wife and children ask for respect during this sorrowful time."

Born John Kennedy Oswald in Akron, Ohio, Lane's musical talent became evident at the age of four when the youngest of five children mastered the drums. The protégée spent his high school years entertaining and excelling at high school sports.

After high school, Lane moved to Florida to further pursue music. In 1985 he formed PLAIN JANE with future WARRANT bandmate Steven (Chamberlin) Sweet. He had moved from behind the drum kit to the lead vocals and adopted the stage name "Jani" as a take on the German pronunciation of Johnny.

When PLAIN JANE moved to the Los Angeles club circuit, Lane's songwriting and stage performance gained notice of WARRANT founder Erik Turner. With WARRANT, Lane would go on to create some of the '80s metal era's biggest anthems.

Lane penned three Top 40 hit singles from WARRANT's debut album, "Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich" (1989): the smash hit "Heaven", "Down Boys" and "Sometimes She Cries". The band's follow-up record, "Cherry Pie" (1990) featured another trio of Billboard Hot 100 tracks: "I Saw Red", "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the smash hit "Cherry Pie". Widely considered WARRANT's best-known release, VH1 named "Cherry Pie" the 56th best hard rock song of all time.

LAPD News Release Regarding JANI LANE (WARRANT)\'s Death

The Los Angeles Police Department has sent out the following news release regarding the passing of former WARRANT singer Jani Lane:

"On August 11, 2011, patrol officers from Topanga station responded to a 9-1-1call of a death investigation in Woodland Hills.

When emergency personnel arrived, the Fire Department pronounced the death of a 47-year-old man, later identified as Jani Lane, the lead singer of the popular rock band WARRANT.

"The cause of death is unknown and the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office is conducting an investigation into Mr. Lane's death."

According to TMZ.com, investigators found a half-empty bottle of vodka and prescription medication in the hotel room where Lane was found dead.

An autopsy is scheduled for later today.

According to TMZ.com, Lane's death is being treated as an accidental overdose or a possible death from natural causes.

Evangelist Confirms He Is \'Willing To Confront\' MAYHEM Bassist\'s Demons

Bob Larson, an American radio and television evangelist and one of the leading practitioners of modern, Christian exorcisms, has confirmed that he will conduct an exorcism next week on Jørn Stubberud, best known as the bassist in the legendary Norwegian black metal band MAYHEM (where he performs under the stage name Necrobutcher). The entire event will be filmed by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), the Norwegian government-owned radio and television public broadcasting company and the largest media organization in Norway, for a special program which will be aired in Norway in October.

In a written statement to the German edition of the Metal Hammer magazine, Larson said, "I have confirmed my willingness to perform an exorcism on 'Necrobutcher' with certain conditions I will discuss with the TV crew.

"I have toured with SLAYER and have had frequent interaction with groups such as DEICIDE (Glen Benton recently posted on my Facebook page), MORBID ANGEL and many other such groups.

"I am willing to confront Necrobutcher's demons if he is willing to allow his demons to confront me. He needs to know this is not a battle between him and me, but between him and the devil.

"My prayer is Jørn may come to know the love of God. Christ died on the cross for Jørn and I'm sorry if he has such a bad idea of Christianity. Perhaps some Christians in Norway have not done such a good job of letting Jørn know God's love. Satan is battling for Jørn's soul I will do all I can to help him escape and experience the peaceful presence of the Holy Spirit."

MAN MADE MACHINE Collaborates With HELLYEAH/MUDVAYNE Members

MUDVAYNE and HELLYEAH singer Chad Gray and guitarist Greg Tribbett have co-written and produced "Victim", the first single from a new group called MAN MADE MACHINE. The track is taken from the Phoenix, Arizona quintet's upcoming debut album, "Become", which is due out next month and has also been produced by Gray and Tribbett. The CD was mixed by Jeremy Parker, known for his work with EVANESCENCE and GODSMACK.

"It was an honor and a great learning experience to work with guys of their caliber," states MAN MADE MACHINE vocalist Joe Cotela. "We have all looked up to them for years now. They really brought out the next level in all of us as musicians."

Though MAN MADE MACHINE claims to have been approached by "numerous labels," the band ultimately chose Razor & Tie as its new home.

"We're glad that we've been given an authentic opportunity for MAN MADE MACHINE. Razor & Tie is the record label we've always wanted," affirms bassist Justyn Sena. "The opportunities we're getting out of our label and management now is indicative of the success that we've always desired as a band."

"Become" is described in a press release as "a powerful, hard rock roller-coaster ride, soaring through diverse, yet autobiographical songs." "The lyrics are vulnerable. There are introspective lyrics, as well as lyrics that make you feel invincible," explains Cotela. "There are also a handful of songs about partying and feeling like a badass. This is an honest record, not just on the sensitive tracks, but the party tracks as well. The album is reflective of the different sides of our personalities."

A combination of hard work, perseverance and good fortune has brought MAN MADE MACHINE to where they are now. "We always knew where we wanted to be today, and now we have a new lease on everything," says Sena. "We knew that if we stuck it out, we would eventually get to this point; it was inevitable. If you don't quit, you'll get there. We never left an option open for ourselves to fail, and we're in a good position now because of that."

MAN MADE MACHINE is:

Joe Cotela - Vocals
Justyn Sena - Bass
Matt Reinhard - Drums
Marc Hernandez - Guitar
Steve Siminski - Guitar

GRÖNHOLM Unveil \'Out From The Nest\' Video Featuring Former YES Vocalist Billy Sherwood

GRÖNHOLM have unveiled the new video for the track, 'Out From The Nest', taken from their upcoming release Silent Out Loud:

GRAVE Members Join Forces With OBITUARY Guitarist In REDSCREAM

Three members of the legendary Swedish death metal band GRAVE have joined forces with Florida-based guitarist Ralph Santolla (OBITUARY, DEICIDE) in a brand new group called REDSCREAM. The project is currently writing material in Stockholm while seeking a lead singer to complete the band's lineup.

Regarding how REDSCREAM came together and its future plans, the group tells BLABBERMOUTH.NET, "In April, OBITUARY, GRAVE, and PATHOLOGY toured Europe together on the 'Metal Chainsaw Massacre' tour. Everyone involved agreed that it was one of the best, most fun tours we had ever done, and the chemistry on the bus was really good. The 'Late Night Party Crew' (Trevor Peres, Ronnie Bergerstål, Oscar Ramirez, Tobbe Cristiansson, Ralph Santolla, Ola Lindgren, and Tim Tzsieconanovichski) also found we all loved the same classic rock, classic metal, and Southern rock. After many nights of cranking THIN LIZZY, RIOT and DEEP PURPLE, the guys in GRAVE and Ralphy decided to form a band and call it REDSCREAM (cheap wine). Well, now Ralph has been in Stockholm for a month and we've been writing like crazy. Today we actually finished our fourth song.

"It's hard to describe a sound, but every day before practice we listen to hours of IMMORTAL, DEF LEPPARD, DIMMU BORGIR, KATY PERRY, SCORPIONS, KISS, RAINBOW and TRIPTYKON. Strange but true!

"We have another week of work, then a break for the GRAVE U.S. tour, then we will spend the whole month of October writing and meeting with prospective singers."

REDSCREAM is:

Ralph Santolla (OBITUARY, DEICIDE) - Guitar
Ola Lindgren (GRAVE) - Guitar
Tobias Cristiansson (GRAVE) - Bass
Ronnie Bergerstål (GRAVE) - Drums
[To Be Announced] - Lead Vocals

MAYHEM Frontman\'s Collaboration With Guitarist DENNIS DEEN; More Details Revealed

Attila Csihar (MAYHEM, TORMENTOR, VOID OV VOICES) and New York City guitarist Dennis Deen recently spent time in Oslo collaborating on a new project which Attila has described as "a cross between old TORMENTOR, SKINNY PUPPY and BIOHAZARD."

"For me, I hear and see a mix of 'Diary Of A Madman' [OZZY OSBOURNE] and 'Antichrist Superstar' [MARILYN MANSON] in the project being that I'm very influenced by Randy Rhoads," Deen tells BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

He adds, "The new show and record is full of kick-ass guitar riffs. The show will literally scare the fuck out of you. It's a heavy sound; very negative, dark stuff here [with] a little VOID OV VOICESthrown in. I literally dug out my blackest of demons from my soul to create this. A lot of pain went into my guitar sound.

"I cannot really say much more other than we are looking for a bassist and drummer to do the tour. The studio lineup and details are coming."

Performing since 1986 when he co-founded cult-metal band TORMENTOR, Attila is best known for his contribution to MAYHEM's "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" album in 1993, a milestone for the black metal genre. Csihar is, or has been, a member of various groups such as PLASMA POOL, ABORYM, and KOROG. He has also done guest vocals (and toured) with SUNN O))), BURIAL CHAMBER TRIO and GRAVETEMPLE.

DOOGIE WHITE reveals cover artwork and tracklist of his debut solo album!

Metal Mind Productions will release Doogie White’s debut solo album in Autumn.

They recorded one album together - “Stranger in Us All.” Doogie would go on to sing with Swedish neo-classical guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen for over a six and a half year period, record two albums and tour the world. He also recorded four albums and toured with Cornerstone and is currently the lead singer of Tank, who embark on selected European dates starting this month.

The album called “As Yet Untitled” is a collection of 10 dramatic and hard hitting rock songs co-written by White and some good friends he has made over the years on the rock scene. The list of guest musicians involved in the recording of “As Yet Untitled” looks impressive:

Drums - Patrick Johansson (Yngwie Malmsteen), Thomas Broman (Glenn Hughes);
Keyboards - Derek Sherinian (Black Country Communion), Tony Carey (Rainbow);
Bass - Neil Murray (Whitesnake), Greg Smith (Ted Nugent), Paul Logue (Edens Curse);
Guitars - Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall), Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt), Phil Hilborne (Queen Musical), Mick Tucker (Tank);

The album was recorded at various studios in Florida, Germany, and Scotland but most of the production was handled in Sweden with Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall) at the helm.

Front cover illustration of “As Yet Untitled” was done by the Polish graphic designer Jarosław Wieczorek.

Former WARRANT Singer JANI LANE Dead At 47

Lane was pronounced dead by Fire Department personnel who responded to a call shortly before 5:30 p.m. in the Comfort Inn in the 20100 block of Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills, California, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

THE GATHERING Issues New Album Update

Dutch/Norwegian rockers THE GATHERING have issued the following update:

"We are back from this rollercoaster called the South American Ghost Ride Tour. It was great. Thank you all for coming!

"As you probably know, we had our problems with volcanoes, flights overbooked and cancellations, but the warm welcome in every country was overwhelming! Thanks!

"We get a lot of mail from people who want to know when the new album will be out. Unfortunately, this will not happen this year. We're still writing and recording, and trying not to finish things in a hurry. For sure the album will be out in 2012! Maybe we will release another free download, like we did with 'Heroes For Ghost'. You can also enjoy the magnificent video Marcus Moonen made [see below]. We will keep you informed.

"Something else: we have another festival date for you! THE GATHERING will play at the Baroeg Open Air festival the 24th of September in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It's a free festival, so you can spend all your money drinking beer (or cola). We heard that lots of Dutch Almanaks say the weather will be splendid in September (a real Indian summer), so no excuses. It will also be the last THE GATHERING gig this year (though you never know what happens). We hope to see you all there (and/or of course in Helmond or Amersfoort, which we will rock a week earlier)."

SPOTIFY Responds To CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

On Tuesday, Century Media and its associated labels — InsideOutMusic, Superballmusic and People Like You — announced that they had decided to pull their repertoire from streaming music service Spotify in an attempt "to protect the interests of their artists." Now, Spotify has issued a statement to Digital Music News responding to that removal, as well as broader claims that its service undercuts rights holders.

"We are sorry that Century Media have opted not to offer its music to their fans through Spotify," Spotify said. "Spotify has one of the biggest music libraries in the world — of over 15 million tracks - and is committed to offering our users the widest possible selection of music across artists and genres from around the world.

"Spotify was launched out of a desire to develop a better, more convenient and legal alternative to music piracy. Spotify now monetizes an audience the large majority of whom were downloading illegally (and therefore not making any money for the industry) before Spotify was available.

"Spotify is now generating serious revenues for rights holders; since our launch just three years ago, we have paid over $100 million to labels and publishers, who, in turn, pass this on to the artists, composers and authors they represent. Indeed, a top Swedish music executive was recently quoted as saying that Spotify is currently the biggest single revenue source for the music industry in Scandinavia.

"Spotify is now also the second single largest source of digital music revenue for labels in Europe (IFPI, April 2011). Billboard reported in April that Spotify territories saw an average digital growth rate of 43% last year. By contrast, neighbouring countries (without Spotify) saw only 9.3% digital growth.

"We are very proud of the positive contribution that Spotify makes towards growth in the music industry."
