IMPERIAL VENGEANCE Drummer Joins ELIMINATION; New Album Now Due In Early 2011
 As with all great bands, there’s always a period of uncertainty, inevitable when you are focusing on your sound and your future, and UK trashers ELIMINATION have come through it stronger than ever.
Originally due for release later this year, Elimination will be looking to put out their album, Through The Eyes Of Madness early in 2011, with a brand new lineup. Enter James Last.
James (IMPERIAL VENGEANCE) has been a welcomed replacement on drums and is already in the studio writing and recording the new material.
Guitarist Dave Spicer states: “We are all very excited to have James joining us, the fresh energy and enthusiasm that he has brought to Elimination is so refreshing. All that's left now is to get ourselves back out on the road following the release of Through The Eyes Of Madness, and start devastating the crowd once more!” | 0 | |

THE BRONX CASKET CO. Signs To EONE MUSIC
 THE BRONX CASKET CO., the side project of OVERKILL bassist D.D. Verni and SEVEN WITCHES guitarist Jack Frost, has inked a worldwide deal with eOne Music.
"I am totally psyched to be working with eOne for the new BRONX CASKET release!" says Verni. "They did an amazing job with the OVERKILL record and I know they will do the same for this. Having a label home where people 'get' it and are psyched to work a record is a great feeling."
THE BRONX CASKET CO. was formed in 1998 by Verni, who — after having played in one of the most respected thrash bands ever for over two decades — was looking for "the challenge of writing interesting new material, and for fun, of course!" The band's second release caught the ear of playwright Andrea Lepcio. Soon after, Verni and Lepcio were collaborating with three-time Tony winner Hinton Battle to direct and choreograph. The seeds of "The Bronx Casket Co., A New Musical" were planted. Verni quickly recruited several members from the TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA to perform. The cast consisted of performers from the Broadway shows "Hairspray", "Rent" and "Dance Of The Vampire". There have been several performances off-Broadway for producers/backers and the show is still in the writing stages. It has a gothic/Broadway score with a twisted love story woven throughout. Songs from the first two BRONX CASKET CO. releases are included in the show, as well as 13 new songs Verni penned just for the musical.
It's been five years since THE BRONX CASKET CO. last released an album and has been well worth the wait. Verni states, "This BRONX CASKET record is the best we have done, and we are looking forward to getting out on the road and doing some shows."
Due in early 2011, THE BRONX CASKET CO.'s follow-up to 2005's "Hellectric" will be the band's first release with D.D. handling all of the vocal duties.
THE BRONX CASKET CO. is:
D.D. Verni - Guitar, Vocals, Bass
Rob Pallotta - Drums
Jack Frost - Guitars
Charlie Calv - Keyboards | 0 | |

CYCLOPHONIA Release Debut Video
 Norwegian melodic metallers CYCLOPHONIA have released their debut video, for the track 'Retaliate. Check out the clip below.
Says the band: "This song showcases most of what Cyclophonia is about: great riffs and dual guitar work, soaring lead vocals and harmonies, and just some damn fine songwriting!”
Due to a budget of absolute zero the band decided to go with a comedic video this time around, but make no mistake; they’re no comedy band.
“We feel that even though the song deals with serious matters, there’s nothing wrong with making a video that gives us a few laughs. Making the video was a great experience, and we’ll make sure we have a bigger budget for the next one!”
Cyclophonia are currently working towards recording their debut full-length album, with sessions scheduled for March 2011 and a release date some time later the same year. | 0 | |

ISKALD: New Album Details Revealed
 Norwegian black metallers ISKALD will release their third album, "The Sun I Carried Alone", on January 17, 2011 via Indie Recordings. The CD was mixed and mastered at 210 Studios in Berlin by producers Stamos Koliousis and Vangelis Labrakis.
Commented the band: "It has been quite a long process, starting back in August, but in the end it's all worth it. The sound is just what we hoped for and will represent what ISKALD really stands for now and in the future. We kind of melted 'Shades Of Misery' [ISKALD's debut album] and 'Revelations Of Reckoning Day' [the band's sophomore effort] together sound-wise to forfill our perfect sound. Music-wise, we continue down our dark musical path, introducing some new stuff and bringing back some old ideas. As for the song material in general, [we] would say that we have taken a huge step compared to the last ones, and there should be something in there for everyone."
"The Sun I Carried Alone" track listing:
01. Alucinor
02. Under the Black Moon
03. Natt utover Havet
04. Forged by Wolves
05. I Lys av Mørket
06. The sun I Carried Alone
07. Rigor Mortis

MIKE PORTNOY: DREAM THEATER Carrying On Without Me Will \'Seriously Damage Our Relationship\'
 Former DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy recently spoke to Classic Rock Prog magazine about his decision to quit the band he formed and led for 25 years. He said, "I'd be lying if I didn't say I am devastated [the rest of DREAM THEATER] chose to continue without me.
"After giving my heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears to the band for 25 years, I hoped they'd value me and our relationship enough to respect my need for us to take a little break. I am truly heartbroken over their decision. It also kills me that in the past the guys would never question or even debate my direction within the band. They always let me call the shots and always trusted my vision and guidance. Then, with such a huge and personal conflict, they disagreed with me for the first time — on the biggest decision of them all.
"On the surface, it may seem that life was great and full-steam ahead, but beneath the surface, there was a lot of friction and burn-out. We had one bandmember who would literally not even sit in the same room with the rest of us for years now. We'd only see him on stage or at meet-and-greets. Other members did a lot of complaining about the day-to-day stuff. These are obvious signs of wear and tear.
"Of course, in the wake of this split the guys have to pull together, so I'm sure they will surely look at these issues and change them. I'm just saddened they wouldn't wait for me to do it.
"Them choosing to move on without me it is ultimately going to seriously damage our relationship, as well as the legacy I spent so long building and protecting."
Portnoy, who is currently out with AVENGED SEVENFOLD as their touring drummer, previously said of his decision to quit DREAM THEATER, "Please believe me that it is not a hasty decision . . . it is something I have struggled with for the last year or so . . . After having had such amazing experiences playing with HAIL!, TRANSATLANTIC and AVENGED SEVENFOLD this past year, I have sadly come to the conclusion that I have recently had more fun and better personal relations with these other projects than I have for a while now in DREAM THEATER."
Portnoy added, "I love the DREAM THEATER guys dearly and have a long history, friendship and bond that runs incredibly deep with them — it's just that I think we are in serious need of a little break."
The drummer said that DREAM THEATER's "endless write/record/tour cycle for almost 20 years" was the main factor in his decision. He said he wanted a "break," not a "split," but that the band decided to move forward without him.
Portnoy added in a separate post on Facebook that his current gig with AVENGED SEVENFOLD had nothing to do with his departure from DREAM THEATER, writing, "They are just as shocked as you guys."
AVENGED recruited Portnoy to play on its new album, "Nightmare", following the death last December of the band's drummer, James "The Rev" Sullivan. Portnoy was Sullivan's favorite drummer.
DREAM THEATER said in its own statement, "All of us in DREAM THEATER wholeheartedly wish Mike the best on his musical journey. We have had a long and meaningful career together. It is our true hope that he finds all he is looking for, and that he achieves the happiness he deserves. He will be missed."

METALLICA\'s ULRICH: \'I\'m The Hugest U2 Fan — I Would Borderline Call Myself A Groupie\'
 Australia's Faster Louder went backstage at a METALLICA gig this week to get up close and personal with the band's drummer, Lars Ulrich. Over the course of 15 very funny minutes, he talked about everything from the band's documentary, "Some Kind Of Monster", to why he is unashamedly the world's biggest U2 fan. A six-minute condensed version of the chat can be viewed below.
"I'm, like, the hugest U2 fan — I would borderline call myself a groupie, actually," Lars can be heard saying during the interview. "Playing with U2… I would fucking play on the parking lot. They're one of the only other bands that are still functioning after 30 years, just like we are, and I feel a lot of kinship in what they do and I just really admire and appreciate… They're really inspiring to me. I love their music, I love their way of reinventing themselves, and I love their way or thinking big and small. And it sort of works on all levels."
As previously reported, METALLICA has posted an explanation online of the now-infamous "beachball incident" that occurred during the band's November 11 concert in Sydney, Australia. Video footage showed guitarist Kirk Hammett kicking a large black beachball off the stage, which in turn knocked a little girl who standing onstage into the pit. The footage of the incident spread quickly across the Internet, although it was clear from the video that the whole thing was accidental.
The band wrote, "Some of you will have seen on YouTube (or read in some reports) that Kirk knocked a small child offstage by kicking a beachball at her. That little lady is the daughter of the stage manager and dressing coordinator, who are fortunate to travel as a family on this tour. She was thoroughly enjoying watching the beachballs drop from the rafters, Kirk was thoroughly enjoying kicking the beachballs off the stage and back into the crowd as has been done every night on the tour, and neither of them saw the other. The poor wee one happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She wasn't hurt. She didn't go 'flying several feet into the audience.' And Kirk and she remain good buddies."
The band's statement added, "It's very cool that everyone showed concern and support though, so we just wanted to say 'it's all good' and thanks for asking."
METALLICA's current run through Australia and New Zealand will complete the two-year touring cycle behind the band's 2008 album, "Death Magnetic", although the band may do some touring in 2011 and is confirmed to headline Rock In Rio next September.
METALLICA will release a nine-track live EP recorded in Nashville, titled "Live At Grimey's", on November 26.

RATT Singer STEPHEN PEARCY To Hit The Studio To Begin Work On Fourth Solo Release
 RATT singer STEPHEN PEARCY will be hitting the studio soon to start work on his fourth solo release.
Pearcy says: "Expect the unexpected, It's time to pull out all the stops on this one, no fuckin' around. We've got more then enough material, and the material is ass kicking"!
There's a couple songs that should of been on "Infestation" that's for sure, stubbornness and politics prevented that. But there's a reason for everything. I've been writing songs the last year to this day, you can never have enough music.
I'm going to work the songs up at Fred Coury's (CINDRELLA) studio, and yes, hopefully he'll be drums on as much of the new music as I can get. My partner in grime; Erik Ferentinos, from my solo band and I have written plenty of songs for the BATTERING RAMM project, so were good to go. I'd also like to get a song with Carlos (Cavazo, who co wrote 'Eat Me Up Alive' and 'Best Of Me' with Pearcy for Ratt's Infestation) in there. It's all about the best solo music I have, and songs for Battering Ramm right now. We'll have some great players all over the new CD!
Hopes are to take the same players on tour next year.
With new management, I've got a full plate at the moment for 2011, and wouldn't have it any other way at this time."

ABSU Parts Ways With Guitarist, Prepares To Record New Album
 Texas-based, mythological occult metal band ABSU will join the mighty IMMORTAL on their return to the U.S. for six shows early next year. The dates, announced earlier this week, will mark the first live performances for ABSU since the Scion Rock Fest in March of this year; the band completing two headline tours in 2009 to support the release of their sixth studio album, titled "Absu".
Drummer/vocalist Proscriptor notes, "We feel extremely privileged to have been invited to participate on IMMORTAL's 'All Shall Fall' U.S. tour in February 2011. Even though it is only a six-date tour, it's a colossal one for ABSU to be performing with our former labelmates of many years. We had the opportunity to share the stage with Immortal over eight years ago and this will be a very good experience for us."
These upcoming performances will mark the first time that ABSU will appear live as a trio. Proscriptor comments, "I am here to announce that guitarist Aethyris McKay has decided to quit ABSU and has recently relocated to Oslo , Norway to join PANTHEON I. Working with Aethyris for the past three years has been a prosperous experience and I have the utmost respect for him as my comrade and a superlative musician. He assisted me in resurrecting the band from its hiatus stage and I truly thank him for helping me recast the spell of 'mythological occult metal.'"
IMMORTAL with ABSU U.S. tour:
Feb. 19 - Gramercy Theater – New York, NY
Feb. 20 - Sonar – Baltimore, MD
Feb. 21 - Mr. Small's Theatre – Pittsburgh, PA
Feb. 22 - Bottom Lounge – Chicago, IL
Feb. 24 - The Summit Theatre – Denver, CO
Feb. 26 - Backstage Live – San Antonio, TX
After completion of the dates with IMMORTAL, ABSU will enter the studio to begin recording its new album, titled "Abzu". The recording will be the second of a three-part series. Proscriptor reveals, "This recording will feature our signature sound in maniacal fashion. Now, we're appending dirtier elements of psychedelia and fusion characteristics. Lyrically, it will descend deeper into Enki's lower world as well the Enochian Magic(k) System. I can tell you this album will definitely not be a "natural progression" from previous releases, but a feat of metaphysical conquest and murkiness."
Projected track listing of "Abzu" (in no particular order) is:
01. Circles Of The Oath
02. A Song For Ea
03. Skrying In The Spirit Vision
04. The Waters – The Denizens
05. Warren Of Imhullu
06. Earth Ripper
07. Ontologically, It Became Time & Space
08. Vita Janua Mortis | 0 | |

HOLY MOSES To Enter Studio In The Spring
 Long-running, female-fronted German thrashers HOLY MOSES have issued the following update:
"The year 2010 is not ended now, but we like to take the chance to give you a short overview.
"After the real successful shows in Finland, at Kaltenbach Open Air in Austria, and the really great shows with DORO at Landau Germany and at very great Bloodstock Open Air in U.K., the band is taking a live playing stop right now. But we are not sleeping. We are working on new songs, and we started up to arrange old-school classics of HOLY MOSES in a new structure.
"We will be back in the studio for an new HOLY MOSES album in spring 2010 at Absurd Studio Hamburg.
"From December 2011 until December 2012 we will have our 30-year anniversary with HOLY MOSES, and we are preparing us right now for this great event.
"Our contract with Wacken Records had ended in 2010 and we are dealing right now with different companies for the release of the new album and our first DVD in HOLY MOSES history.
"The first shows for summer 2011 are already booked and we will release this dates in the upcoming weeks in December.
"We will play only special shows starting up in 2011 around the whole world, to celebrate the 30th years anniversary of HOLY MOSES.
"We want to thank you already for that, because without you, our fans, HOLY MOSES would not exist for 30 years. Thanks for all your support also in 2010 and with a lot of power and energy we will start into 2011."

AVANTASIA\'s WACKEN OPEN AIR Concert Will Mark Band\'s Only Appearance Next Year
 Although rumors keep circulating about further shows from AVANTASIA — the project led by EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet — in 2011, a statement on Tobias' official web site makes it clear that after AVANTASIA's December world tour, there will be no more tours or festival appearances from the project apart from the Wacken Open Air show in August 2011.
Commented Sammet: "In 2011 we will not play any show except from the Wacken show, due to commitments that we all have with our individual main bands. That's why we are very happy about having found a time frame to bring the show on stage in December. 'The Metal Opera Comes To Town' world tour 2010 will be a special event that will be neither repeated nor continued. That's why we'll play as many songs as possible and make it a special experience for us as much as for our fans. Because we are not naive enough to believe that this lineup will ever get the chance to share the stage again after the forthcoming tour."
AVANTASIA has scheduled the following dates:
Nov. 30 - Switzerland - Pratteln, Z7
Dec. 01 - Switzerland - Pratteln, Z7
Dec. 03 - Germany - Lichtenfels, Stadthalle *
Dec. 04 - Germany - Kaufbeuren, All Karthalle *
Dec. 05 - Sweden - Stockholm, Arenan
Dec. 08 - Japan - Tokyo, Shinagawa Stella Ball
Dec. 10 - Mexico - Mexico City, Circo Volador
Dec. 13 - Brazil - Sao Paulo, CTN
Dec. 15 - Argentina - Buenos Aires, [venue to be announced]
Dec. 18 - Germany - Fulda, Esperantohalle *
Dec. 19 - Germany - Essen, Grugahalle *
Aug. 06, 2011 - Germany - Wacken, Wacken Open Air

MEKONG DELTA Drummer Comments On STRATOVARIUS Gig
 Alex Landenburg (pictured below; AT VANCE, ANNIHILATOR, MEKONG DELTA) has commented on his new gig as the stand-in drummer for STRATOVARIUS after the band's regular drummer, Jörg Michael, was diagnosed with cancer and had his entire thyroid removed.
"I will be stepping in for Jörg Michael on the first part of the upcoming tour with HELLOWEEN," Alex said. "Being a longtime fan of the band myself (I bought [1995's] 'Fourth Dimension' as a 14-year-old kid), this is, of course, exciting for me.
"Sadly, the circumstances — as you can read in the statement from [STRATOVARIUS keyboardist] Jens Johansson — are terrible. Jörg has cancer.
"I feel honored to have been chosen to step in for Jörg on this part of the tour and I will do my best to deliver great shows to the STRATOVARIUS fans.
"I'm sure Jörg will be back soon and just like anybody else I'm mostly looking forward to seeing STRATOVARIUS from besides the stage with Jörg behind the drums again!
"OK, all for now... gotta go back to learning some new songs!
"See you on the road." | 0 | |
