CROWBAR Pays Tribute To Fallen EXHORDER Bassist
 New Orleans sludge metal legends CROWBAR have released the following statement:
"The members of CROWBAR would like to send their deepest condolences to the family, friends, and bandmates of [EXHORDER bassist] Frankie Sparcello. We found out last night of his untimely passing, and are all shocked, and saddened. We've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Frankie on many occasions, and have known him for many, many years. You will be missed brother. R.I.P."
Sparcello passed away yesterday (Tuesday, March 22). No official cause of death has yet been released
Sparcello joined EXHORDER prior to the recording sessions for the band's sophomore album, "The Law", which came out in 1992. The group broke up a short time later and reformed with its original lineup a few years later. Sparcello rejoined EXHORDER in 2009 and was scheduled to perform with the band at this year's Maryland Deathfest IX, which is set to take place May 26-29, 2011 at Sonar in Baltimore.  | 0 |  |

 San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans DEATH ANGEL will release a DVD entitled "A Thrashumentary" in the spring of 2012.
According to a press release, "A Thrashumentary" is a combination live video and documentary, all wrapped up in one thrashing DVD. The footage was directed by Tommy Jones (SOILWORK, KATAKLYSM) and mixed by Chris Clancy of The Studio. The film gives the viewer an in-depth look into one of the longest-running thrash acts out of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region known for turning out historic thrash bands such as METALLICA, TESTAMENT and EXODUS.
With the band surviving a span of 30 years of activity, and nearly 25 years since the release of the classic album "The Ultra-Violence", now was the time to tell the story. Filmed on the "Relentless Retribution" world tour, the film shows the bands energetic live performance, cut with documentary-style interview footage. "Fly-on-the-wall" filming of the band talking about their career and footage of the band on the road, give the viewer a personal connection to what is known as the mighty DEATH ANGEL.
A special 12-minute trailer for the disc will be shown at this year's Heavy Metal Film Festival, set to take place in Los Angeles from March 31 through April 2, 2011.

T.R.A.M. To Release Debut Album In May
 T.R.A.M., the new band featuring Adrian Terrazas (THE MARS VOLTA) on saxophone, flute, bass clarinet and percussion, Javier Reyes (ANIMALS AS LEADERS) on guitar, Tosin Abasi (ANIMALS AS LEADERS) on guitar and Eric Moore (SUICIDAL TENDENCIES) on drums, will release its debut album, "Lingua Franca", in May through Sumerian Records.
According to a press release, T.R.A.M. is "a group of likeminded individuals that are naturally gifted and the collaboration of their unique talents results in something truly amazing."
Commented Terrazas: "Tosin Abasi and I were originally introduced by a mutual friend, Raanen Bozzio, last summer. This meeting also served as my first introduction to ANIMALS AS LEADERS and Javier Reyes. Since then, Abasi, Reyes and I have developed a great relationship. We got together almost every day to try out ideas and after a month we had already formulated a majority of the record. At this point we contacted Eric Moore, an incredible drummer and the most joyful person to be around, and soon everything we had envisioned rhythmically came together on our first meeting/recording session (at the Farias productions studios) on what is now T.R.A.M."
He added, "I never know how people will respond to our music, I just never know! My goal is to try to instill a strong feeling or energy in people and I feel that collectively we achieved this goal tenfold with this new project. We all have a great enthusiasm and desire to perform this material live and see this band further develop. We look forward to hearing what you all think of it."
T.R.A.M. made its live debut on March 17 as part of the WSOU 89.5 FM showcase at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

IGOR CAVALERA Is Not Interested In Reunion Of SEPULTURA\'s Classic Lineup
 Brian Fischer-Giffin of Australia's Loud magazine recently conducted an interview with drummer Igor Cavalera (CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, ex-SEPULTURA). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's sophomore album, "Blunt Force Trauma":
Igor: "Compared to the first one, this one was a lot more fun. Last time we were still rediscovering each other and this time we were a little more used to each other so we really did enjoy it."
On the spontaneity in CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's songwriting and recording process:
Igor: "We enjoy each other's company, and out of that fun we have and the joy we have, we try to capture that and use that in our music. We try to put that into some records. We did that on the first one, and we did that on the second one. We recorded two albums as fast as possible which is completely different to anything we did in the past. Out of that raw energy we get from each other, that's something we don't get from other people. With CAVALERA CONSPIRACY we never really practiced anything. We just go into a studio and jam a bunch of stuff, then we pretty much just edit what we come up with into what is now 'Blunt Force Trauma'. Each album we did in a month. No practicing, no writing for months and months."
On his drumming approach on "Blunt Force Trauma":
Igor: "For me, I just wanted to keep it as simple as possible. Drumwise, I wanted it to be very minimal. That was my thing, to have less fills and just straight beats and that was fun, to have that challenge in the back of my mind... less is more. That was a very, very cool challenge. Now we need to learn how to play those songs live. That's another process."
On CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's touring plans:
Igor: "I don't think we'll do more [shows than before]. We did some on the last album, but not as extensive as some other bands. We'll do some shows, but no heavy touring. That's one thing we do with CAVALERA. We do some shows but not too much. We try to keep it special."
On the persistent rumors of a reunion of SEPULTURA's classic lineup, featuring Igor and Max Cavalera (who plays guitar and sings in CAVALERA CONSPIRACY):
Igor: "Me and Max playing together, that's the reunion. Out of all the other people who passed through SEPULTURA, that's what I consider to be the reunion. I don't see why there needs to be other people in on it. I'm more than happy to have what I have right now. I don't need any other kind of reunion."

TORTURE DIVISION Releases Cover Of MASTODON\'s \'Iron Tusk\'
 TORTURE DIVISION, the Swedish death metal project featuring guitarist Lord K. Philipson (THE PROJECT HATE, ex-GOD AMONG INSECTS, LEUKEMIA), bassist/vocalist Jörgen Sandström (VICIOUS ART, THE PROJECT HATE, ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE) and drummer Tobias "Tobben" Gustafsson (VOMITORY, THE PROJECT HATE), has issued the following update:
"Wanna hear what MASTODON really should sound like? We thought so, and that's why we have decided to record a cover of their tune 'Iron Tusk'.
"Why this particular song? None of us listens to MASTODON, you know.
"Well, to make a long story short; this cover was meant to end up on a compilation CD (spanning over albums from the 1990s to 2011, and we all know MASTODON's a quality act that people obviously dig, recording a tune by them would give us major exposure to further dominate the world… ahem…), that eventually never saw the light of day — meaning we now give it to you because we are absolutely amazing.
"This is how we would have made this song, had we written it in the first place. But we didn't, we just thought it would be nice to MASTODON to make a proper tune out of it.
"Kidding, kidding… MASTODON's cool. They are no TORTURE DIVISION, but hey — can't win them all.
"Hope you guys enjoy it — we sure did when we recorded it.
"Thanks to Dan Swanö (ex-EDGE OF SANITY, BLOODBATH, NIGHTINGALE) för another amazing production courtesy of Unisound."

PAGAN\'S MIND Signs With SPV/STEAMHAMMER
 Norwegian melodic power metallers PAGAN'S MIND have inked a deal with SPV/Steamhammer for the release of their sixth album, "Heavenly Ecstasy". Due on May 20 in Germany, May 23 in the rest of Europe and in June in USA/Canada, the follow-up to 2007's "God's Equation" was mixed last fall by Stefan Glaumann at Toytown Studios (RAMMSTEIN, MADONNA, WITHIN TEMPTATION) in Stockholm, Sweden.
A brand new song from "Heavenly Ecstasy" entitled "Intermission" can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.
Commented PAGAN'S MIND guitarist and producer Jørn Viggo Lofstad: "After considering offers from various labels, we decided to be a part of the new SPV family. Signing with such a respected label gave us the spark to come up with what we think is the most cohesive album we have done, and probably our best offering so far. We can't wait to get back in action and present these songs to you all."
SPV/Steamhammer A&R representative Olly Hahn added:" I'm very happy that PAGAN'S MIND decided to join the SPV family. The band always delivered some of the best and most exciting metal music and with the new album they even put up a dash more!"
In a recent interview with LetsRock.ro, PAGAN'S MIND singer Nils K. Rue stated about the band's forthcoming CD, "I'm really really excited. I have great belief in it, I think the material is extremely strong and that it represent sort of a 'comeback' (since it been over three years since 'God's Equation'). I am sure both fans of PAGAN'S MIND and people who haven't heard us before will appreciate it a lot."
Regarding the musical direction of the new album, Nils said, "There is no doubt it sounds like PAGAN'S MIND, as I believe we have a very distinct sound. It's heavy, melodic and at times intricate — but on the other hand we have shaken off some of the most extreme progressive elements, setting songwriting and melody in total focus. It's atmospheric, very catchy, very heavy, very good."
On the topic of the new CD's lyrical themes, Nils said, "We're inspired by mysticism and 'the unknown,' as always, but this time the lyrics also deal with stuff everyone can relate to. Our lyrics is often metaphorical, which allows the listener to make up their own opinion on the words and meaning — and make it their own personal 'story.' By making the music a little bit more 'straight in your face,' this time so is the lyrics. Nevertheless, the 'sworn PAGAN'S MIND fan' won't be disappointed — there are enough mystic stuff here to blow your mind. To give an example, on a lyric that deals with 'reality,' there are several, but some of the songs has a positive message that tells to believe in yourself and is upbuilding in terms of self-esteem and the power of will, and yourself."
PAGAN'S MIND's latest album, "God's Equation", in 2007 entered the Norwegian domestic chart (featuring only Norwegian artists) at position No. 14. It also landed on the international chart (featuring all artists) at No. 35. The CD, which was released in the U.S. in January 2008, was recorded by Espen Mjøen at his Mediamaker Studio in Skien, Norway, and mixed at Toy Town Studios in Stockholm by Stefan Glaumann (RAMMSTEIN).

AUTOPSY: Vinyl Version Of \'Macabre Eternal\' To Arrive Mid-May
 "Macabre Eternal", the first full-length album from the legendary San Francisco Bay Area gore grind act AUTOPSY since 1995's "Shitfun", will be released on May 31 via Peaceville Records. A special vinyl edition of the effort will precede the digital versions exclusively through the Peaceville web store on May 16.
"Macabre Eternal" was recorded at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California and includes AUTOPSY's first 10-plus minute song "Sadistic Gratification". "It's 11 minutes and 33 seconds of pure fucking sickness," guitarist Eric Cutler told Invisible Oranges.
"Our fans can expect no less than our best, the best we have to offer," Cutler added. "If you like AUTOPSY, you will think this is the best."
"Macabre Eternal" track listing:
01. Hand Of Darkness
02. Dirty Gore Whore
03. Always About To Die

07. Bridge Of Bones
08. Born Undead
09. Sewn Into One
10. Bludgeoned and Brained
11. Sadistic Gratification
12. Spill My Blood
AUTOPSY drummer/vocalist Chris Reifert previously said about "Macabre Eternal": "We've brewed up the sickest and heaviest material that our rotten souls could possibly spew forth, and we are confident that it's our best stuff yet. The EP was a taste of what's to come, but now it's time for the full assault from beyond the grave."
He continued, "The album will contain no repeated EP tracks, no re-recorded old songs, no triggered trickery, and nothing less than the pure death metal brutality that AUTOPSY has always delivered."
AUTOPSY had previously decided to make an official comeback after working together on two songs for the special 20th-anniversary edition of debut album, "Severed Survival", in late 2008; the band having originally split before the release of its fourth album, "Shitfun", in 1995. A five-song EP, "The Tomb Within", came out last September and saw the original trio of Chris Reifert, Danny Coralles and Eric Cutler joined on bass by Joe Trevisano (ex-ABSCESS). | 0 | |

MEGADETH Working On \'Heavy\', \'Hooky\' New Material
 Greg Prato of UGO recently conducted an interview with MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
UGO: What can fans expect from the next MEGADETH album?
David Ellefson: We are working on it now so it's a bit early to encapsulate what the final will ultimately sound like. I think we know the punch and impact we want it to have but also not be afraid to let new ideas develop, too. Just know it will be heavy, hooky, and have the trademarks you'd come to expect from us.
UGO: Any idea when it will be released?
David Ellefson: I know the business side want to lock in schedules for release but sometimes you can't contain a creative process AND a schedule. It just needs to flow. For us, the scheduling is second to making a great record. It will be done when it's done.
UGO: Dave [Mustaine] once told me in an interview that he wrote the bass line to "Peace Sells". Do you agree or disagree?
David Ellefson: He created the riffs and the lyric. It was one of those songs that just fell into place from top to bottom within a couple hours once we were all in the band room together jamming on it. It was the first time that ever happened in MEGADETH up to that point, actually. In fact, most of our "singles" have been like that over the years. I think it says something about the magic of spontaneity when writing. Plus, there is chemistry within every line-up that can never be duplicated either. I think that's why our fans gravitate toward various albums because there is an identifiable spark with those musicians that created those exact songs together at that specific moment in time.
