DIMMU BORGIR Teams Up With METAL HAMMER For Sound-Enabled \'Demon Box\'
 Metal Hammer, the U.K.'s best-selling heavy metal magazine, has teamed up with black metal's most revered band, DIMMU BORGIR, for a very special collectors’ issue, complete with sound.
Known as the "demon box," the November issue continues Future PLC's run of innovative, attention-grabbing "event issues" for Metal Hammer — which have included a blood-soaked cover to celebrate the 20th anniversary of SLAYER's influential "Reign in Blood" album and the world's only magazine cover struck from metal plate for the return of METALLICA with their "Death Magnetic" album, and a high-definition 3D cover to herald the release of Brit-award winners IRON MAIDEN's "The Final Frontier" album.
Thanks to unrivalled access, Metal Hammer spent exclusive time with Norway's biggest metal export and reveals DIMMU BORGIR's insane new look and their latest opus — "Abrahadabra" — a heavy metal masterpiece recorded with a complete symphony. Emerging from a musical genre most associated with church burnings, the award-winning, Billboard-charting metallers have grown to world-beating status and are now ready to go for the big time.
The issue includes an official DIMMU BORGIR beanie hat and pin page. When it''s opened, the packaging plays a special message from their enigmatic frontman and founder Shagrath — recorded exclusively for Metal Hammer.
Elsewhere inside the December issue, the team catches up with fast-rising Australian brutalists PARKWAY DRIVE, heads to Brighton for a dose of homegrown brutality with LOWER THAN ATLANTIS and TRC, and celebrates the 20th anniversary of PANTERA's "Cowboys From Hell".
Alexander Milas, editor of Metal Hammer, said: "DIMMU BORGIR are an enigma — one of those bands who've risen from an underground scene in Norway to become a household name for metalheads. Their latest album is as breathtaking as it is ambitious, so what better way to toast their return than with something fittingly demonic?"
The November issue of Metal Hammer, complete with official DIMMU BORGIR merchandise and sound chip, is on sale now, with a cover price of £4.99.

AXL ROSE Sued Over Leased Car
 TMZ.com reports that GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose is being sued for allegedly causing damage to a 2006 Bentley Flying Spur car. According to a lawsuit filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Axl still owes $73,976.42 in payments and fees on the vehicle, which he leased through Bentley Financial Services back in 2005.
Bentley claims when Axl returned the car (several months past the actual due date), it had some serious damage, including a cracked windshield, two damaged tires, broken glass on the left rear tail light, two dented doors and a gouged bumper. In addition, Axl allegedly turned in a "mismatched spare key" and a "broken remote key," and he was 42,397 miles over his contracted limit.

NOCTURNAL RITES: In Writing Mode
 Swedish power metallers NOCTURNAL RITES have issued the following update:
"We are currently writing songs for the new album and rehearsing for the gig at the SABATON cruise in Stockholm on December 2.
"The songwriting is going well. We have lots of new material for our ninth studio album. We have some really dark and aggressive stuff written as well as some more melodic, so this new album will definitely cater to all aspects of the NOCTURNAL RITES legacy!
We also played some live shows with our new guitarist Chris Rörland [TME]. This guy really did a great job, entering the stage for the first time as a new member of the band and he kicked ass from the beginning to the end! Not showing any fear at all, he just went for it, crazy but still being 100% professional. Even after a few shows it feels like he's been in the band for ages. So we are extremely happy." | 0 | |

METALLICA\'s James Hetfield Comments On Six Feet Down Under Release
 METALLICA frontman James Hetfield spoke with Australia's Triple M about the Six Feet Down Under release, which unleashes eight live recordings spanning Metallica's 15-year history with Australian fans.
"We wanted to put together just a piece of each time that we've been here and put it out," said Hetfield.
Hetfield went on to say the older tracks were bootlegged from fans in the crowd. "We didn't start recording tours until two tours ago. Now with the digital world you can record anything, anytime, anywhere. But back then we weren't really recording it… and somebody was thank god," he laughs.
Hetfield says a lot of it was captured on cassette and DAT players. "It's pretty interesting. To take some bootleg audio and make it sound somewhat decent… That's kind of fun."

BLACK TIDE: New Album Title Revealed
 Miami, Florida's BLACK TIDE will release its self-titled sophomore album in February. The follow-up to 2008's "Light From Above" (Interscope) was recorded at Spin Studios in New York with producers Garth "GGGarth" Richardson (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, MUDVAYNE) and Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, AVENGED SEVENFOLD).
Regarding the band's decision to make the new CD a self-titled affair, singer Gabriel Garcia told the Artisan News Service (see video below), "We had a couple of names we were thinking about, but we just feel like it's a new thing. I don't wanna say that we're a completely new band, 'cause we still have that 'Light From Above' edge, but we just feel like we're starting fresh; we still feel that way. Like we're starting out."
BLACK TIDE last month released a digital single containing the tracks "Bury Me" and "Honest Eyes". When asked if those tracks are representative of the direction of the new material, Garcia said, "Honestly, this record is all over the place. 'Bury Me' and 'Honest Eyes' are just the songs that our record label felt that were kind of the bridge from 'Light From Above' to this record. There's so many different kinds of songs on this record — we have an acoustic song, we have a slower, more ballad-y kind of song, we have the heavy, heavy stuff... it's all over the place. So I would say it's gonna be surprise for everybody. 'Bury Me' and 'Honest Eyes' are just two of the songs; everything else is completely different." | 0 | |

SACRED OATH Releases Second Single From World On Fire
 US true metal torch-bearers SACRED OATH have released a second single from their brand new album, World On Fire. The song, 'Sweet Agony', can be heard in the YouTube clip below.
“We really feel strongly that this is the best work we’ve done yet,” says Rob Thorne, vocalist/guitarist and producer for the band. “And yet we’re struggling, more now than ever, to survive in this business. We need more metal fans to know about Sacred Oath, and these YouTube singles seem like an ideal way to get the word out.”
Like the first single 'Meet Your Make', the new single 'Sweet Agony' is part of the Dune concept that the album draws its inspiration from.
“There are many parallels to be drawn between the futuristic world of Dune and the global crises we face here today,” said Thorne in a recent radio interview. “If Dune was ahead of its time, well, sadly it was less than we thought.”
American author Frank Herbert first published Dune in 1968.
Sacred Oath will release World On Fire as an iTunes exclusive this Tuesday, October 26th – just in time for Halloween. The deluxe bundle includes 11 songs and a PDF of the cover art, lyrics and liner notes. All other major digital retailers will have the album available for sale on November 9th (worldwide). A digipack CD version with lyric booklet will also be available in North America. No physical release date has been set for Europe, Japan, or South America as of yet.
World On Fire is Sacred Oath’s fourth studio album. The running time is 58:11. The tracklisting is as follows:
'Sweet Agony'
'Meet Your Maker'
'The King Must Die'
'Sandrider'
'Front Line'
'Face of Evil'
'Drums of War'
'Revolution'
'When the War is Over'
