More Details Revealed About Ex-THRESHOLD Singer\'s Passing

Andrew "Mac" McDermott, the former lead singer of U.K. progressive metallers THRESHOLD, passed away in England on Wednesday, August 3. He succumbed to kidney failure after spending four days in a coma. He was only 45 years old.

McDermott had "serious health problems" in the months leading up to his death, according to a June 2011 statement from the German melodic metal band POWERWORLD, with whom McDermott recorded the 2010 album "Human Parasite".

Commented THRESHOLD guitarist Karl Groom: "Mac played a large part in the story of THRESHOLD and appeared on five studio albums. He also sang on numerous fan club releases and live albums. Although I have not seen him since 2007 for the last video shoot in Leipzig, he still remains in our minds and there is a big sense of loss. I have spoken to and seen ex-members of the band over the last two days who are all very saddened by this turn of events. We remember Mac as being so vibrant and full of life, so find this news is hard to accept."

Added THRESHOLD keyboard player Richard West: "Mac had such a big personality and one of the world's greatest rock voices, it's so very sad that we lost him so young. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones."

Stated Ilker Ersin of POWERWORLD: "A friend is gone! We are very sad about our big loss. We can't find the right words in this moment. Our sympathy and condolence goes to his family. The world lost a gently, nice, honest and warm-hearted person. We will miss him."

MACBETH - Pre-Production For New Album Complete

DARKTHRONE\'s \'RAVISHING GRIMNESS\' Reissue To Include New Artwork, Bonus Commentary Disc

Peaceville Records has set a September 5 release date for the reissue of DARKTHRONE's seventh album of primitive black metal, "Ravishing Grimness", featuring new artwork selected by the band, plus a bonus commentary disc with Fenriz and Nocturno describing their inspirations, as well as memories from the time of recording.

DARKTHRONE began in the late '80s as a thrash/death metal act and progressed through technical death/doom metal experimentation to become legends of the black metal world and one of the original leading bands of the Norwegian scene.

"Ravishing Grimness" was DARKTHRONE's seventh studio album, originally released in 1999. The LP contained more mid-paced black metal than some of their previous releases — with CELTIC FROST-inspired riffs once again an important factor in DARKTHRONE's music — as well as featuring more rock and punk elements than earlier albums. Most of the tracks on "Ravishing Grimness" were this time written by Nocturno Culto, as well as guest lyrics on "The Beast" appearing courtesy of Aldrahn and Fog (DØDHEIMSGARD).

TRACKS

Disc 1:

01. Lifeless
02. The Beast
03. The Claws of Time
04. Across the Vacuum
05. Ravishing Grimness
06. To the Death (Under the King)

Disc 2:

* As above, including commentary from Fenriz and Nocturno Culto

THRONE OF KATARSIS To Release \'Ved Graven\' In The Fall

Norwegian black metal act THRONE OF KATARSIS will release its new album, "Ved Graven", on October 24 in Europe and November 1 in the U.S. via Candlelight Records.

According to a press release, "the album title 'Ved Graven' can be translated to 'At the Grave', and is by far the darkest material written by the band to this date.

"Cold, raw, and with the bizarre aura of an everlasting funeral, THRONE OF KATARSIS delivers their requiem in honor of the final darkness. During three long nights the seven rites of this album was recorded. The séance was done in darkness and with poisoned minds, and with a dedication closer to a possession rather than anything else. All instruments and vocal were recorded live in the studio, in order to capture the aura the band creates during their convocations. A couple of guitar leads were added to the mix, and also church organ — recorded at nighttime at a local church during a highly blasphemic ceremony.

"To complete the vision, Njard drawed the cover art, and Stein Sund assisted the mixing and mastering of the album. This is their third studio album, and continues the march towards the funeral."
After seven years as a "demonic duo," THRONE OF KATARSIS is now a quartet, consisting of Infamroth (voice, guitar and church organ), Skinndød (guitar), Sanrabb (bass) and Vardalv (drums).

"Ved Graven" track listing:

01. Profetens Siste Vandring
02. Helvete Kaller
03. Av Dypets Kulde
04. The Holy Remains The Weak
05. Mesterens Tilbakekomst
06. Åpne Alle Sår
07. The Ultimate Shrine

THE DARKNESS Putting Finishing Touches On Comeback Album

THE DARKNESS frontman Justin Hawkins has revealed to U.K.'s Total Guitar magazine that the band's third album is almost complete.

"To use one analogy, the house is built," Justin tells Total Guitar as part of an exclusive interview for issue 218. "And it's a lovely house. How we decorate it is the next conundrum. We're getting to the stage where it's like, how much do we want to blow it?

"We could do all those big QUEEN arrangements, it's just whether we want to. Do you overblow it? Do you underblow it? Do you cup the sack while administering said blowjob? Do you pop a finger up the arse? We have to decide how the happy ending goes."

The as-yet-untitled comeback CD was rehearsed in THE DARKNESS' Lowestoft hometown and was recorded at guitarist Dan Hawkins' home studio.

"Home is where the heart is," says Justin. "When you write songs, you need a grounding to set the stories in. There's a lot about small-town life. The album has songs about stuff that's happened to us in the town. [As for influences], it's AC/DC, QUEEN, AEROSMITH, et cetera."

"There's some really great, almost 'DIRE STRAITS' Strat stuff from Justin on the record," says Dan. "That's another big influence.

"There are some interesting wah sounds, and we made a point of ditching all that click track shit, because rock music needs to breathe. It's party music. With something like 'Cannonball', every single part of the song is a riff!"

THE DARKNESS made its U.K. live comeback on June 5 in front of just 200 people at the Norwich Waterfront.

STATIC-X Frontman To Release Solo Debut In October

STATIC-X frontman Wayne Static will release with his first solo album, "Pighammer", on October 4 via Dirthouse Records.

According to a press release, "Pighammer" "has a disarming raw quality of heavy driving guitar riffs and lyrics that will take hold of your bowels and into the mind of Static's dark past and warped mind. This is blatant, as the first single, 'Assassins Of Youth', was inspired by Wayne Static's last days of drugs and partying.

"I wrote this song while living in a hotel room, listening to PINK FLOYD, drinking Crown and doing whippits," explains Static. "I started the song in that condition but never finished it until years later after dumping off the drugs. Now the song has a whole new meaning from when I started it."

"Assassins Of Youth" is an old-school term for drugs. The first verse is about doing drugs, the chorus is going dry and the second chorus is about getting off and no longer being slave to the drugs.

With Static's transformation, his mind has creatively twisted to a side that he has waited to unleash.

"The 'Pighammer' concept conjures up bizarre images," Static explains. "It's about a mad plastic surgeon, with a pig fetish, that likes to convert hot chicks into pigs. It is the total opposite if what a plastic surgeon would do. He has this crazy hammer device made from a pig foot. The images of the surgery in the CD package are only a dark comedic visualization of the real theme of the album, which is my transformation."

"Pighammer" is the bastard child of Wayne Static's transformation after a 12-year journey of metal annihilation.

"It's hard to believe that it's 12 years since the release of [STATIC-X's debut album] 'Wisconsin Death Trip', and now my warped musical lunacy will take me down a new path of metal destruction. I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the upcoming fall tour."

"Pighammer" track listing:

01. Pighammer
02. Around The Turn
03. Assassins Of Youth
04. Thunder Invader
05. Static Killer
06. She
07. Get It Together
08. Chrome Nation
09. Shifter
10. Slave
11. The Creatures Are Everywhere
12. Behind The Sky

BEFORE THE DAWN gig footage with new line up

Tuomas Saukkonen: «There are evenings when support from the fans is more valued than all the money in the world, when you feel privileged to have top professionals like Manu Holappa and Matti Impola in your team, when you get to share the stage with amazing musicians like Joonas Kauppinen, Pyry Hanski, Mikko Heikkilä, Saku Moilanen, Juuso Turkki (+ of course my wingman Juho Räihä) and when you get to bring life something you thought was dead and buried.

IRON MAIDEN Will Make \'At Least One More Album,\' Says BRUCE DICKINSON

Vocalist Bruce Dickinson of British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN has told Daily Star that the band will make "at least one more album" to follow last year's acclaimed "The Final Frontier".

Dickinson revealed that the bandmembers often struggle during the songwriting process, explaining: "We try to keep things on an even keel. Being English, we still have some reserve when we're communicating ideas to each other.

"[In the old days] we'd have a stand-up knock-down fight about anything. But we know each other better now and people do mellow."

He added, "[When it's time to write an album] we go off on our own, scribble ideas into our notebooks and come back to throw everything into the melting pot.

"We know the boundaries of what we can do musically.

"We're not the kind of band who could say, 'Hey, let's do an album with Kanye West,' because that wouldn’t interest MAIDEN fans at all.

"Things have been going a bit more prog-rock on our recent albums and the fans seem to love that."

DEEP PURPLE - Four Live Double CDs Due August 16th

Eagle Rock Entertainment has announced the August 16th release of four double-discs of the deepest of DEEP PURPLE’s onstage action: Scandinavian Nights, In Concert 1970-1972, Live In London and MK III: The Final Concerts.

Scandinavian Nights, from 1970, features the most classic of Purple lineups, lead guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, keyboardist Jon Lord, vocalist Ian Gillan, drummer Ian Paice and bassist Roger Glover. Recorded for Swedish radio while on tour in support of their groundbreaking In Rock album, the band, a well-oiled machine of epic proportions, rips through elongated versions of 'Speed King', 'Into The Fire', 'Child In Time', 'Wring That Neck', a cover of the ROLLING STONES’ 'Paint It Black' (as a Paice drum solo), 'Mandrake Root' and 'Black Night'.

The same lineup In Concert 1970-1972 recorded two shows for the BBC. The 1970 gig is four songs stretched out to almost 50 minutes in true DP style like no other band ever - 'Speed King', 'Child In Time', 'Wring That Neck' and 'Mandrake Root'. In the ’72 concert, they performed every song off their classic Machinehead album (except 'Pictures Of Home') including a 21-minute version of 'Space Truckin''.

This is the first time Live In London has been released in North America on CD. Complete with new frontman David Coverdale and new bassist Glenn Hughes (essentially giving the band two lead singers), the band were back home in London in 1974 performing in support of the Burn album. The band, indeed, burned through the title track, 'Might Just Take Your Life', 'Lay Down Stay Down', 'Mistreated', 'Smoke On The Water' and, on Disc #2, 'You Fool No One' and 'Space Truckin’'.

A year later, with no idea its lead guitarist and co-founding member Ritchie Blackmore had already decided to leave the band, Deep Purple, with Coverdale and Hughes now solidly entrenched and performing magnificently, embarked on a European tour in support of Stormbringer. MK III The Final Concerts excitingly documents Blackmore’s swan song with the band on 'Burn', 'Stormbringer', 'Gypsy', 'Lady Double Dealer', 'Mistreated', 'Smoke On The Water', 'You Fool No One', 'Space Truckin’', 'Going Down/Highway Star', and alternate versions of 'Mistreated' and 'You Fool No One'.
