The Victory staff has welcomed us with open arms and are committed to pushing our next release to its full potential.
"It's no secret that we've been touring extensively this past year and a half , and it's comforting to know we have a label backing us that are willing to work and put in as much effort as we have for the release of our third record (second under the name BLACKGUARD).
"That being said we are hard at work completing our next record which has a tentative release date for April. The release will coincide with a North American tour that isn't announced yet , but when it does it's going to turn heads."  | 0 |  |

MY DYING BRIDE: \'Treasure Trove\' Of Items Unearthed
 U.K. doom titans MY DYING BRIDE have unearthed a treasure trove of delightful band-related items in the MDB crypt and have collated them all in one place so that anyone interested in adding them to their collection may do so. Ultra-rare 12" white labels of the first EP, "Symphonaire", signed by singer Aaron Stainthorpe and guitarist Andrew Craighan, limited metallic prints, books, copies of the first LP and more. They can all be found at this location.
2010 marks the 20th anniversary of MY DYING BRIDE. To commemorate two decades of doom and gloom, the band embarked upon a project to rework familiar melodies and themes from MY DYING BRIDE's extensive catalogue into long, flowing symphonic compositions, including new vocals and passages from vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe. These arrangements have been brought to life, in cooperation with keyboard maestro Johnny Maudling (of BAL-SAGOTH fame), and will be released as "Evinta" in November on Peaceville Records.
"'Evinta', a project almost 15 years in the making, an idea that has sat smouldering and never really had a reason to burn alive until now," explained guitarist Andrew Craighan. "Nine albums worth of darkness recreated anew to mark 20 years of MY DYING BRIDE. Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past. Finally the 20th anniversary allows us to release this music in a form it has been desperately, woefully waiting for. Enjoy the darkness."
"Evinta" will be available as both a two-disc and special three-disc set, each disc its own sprawling classical work spanning a large period of MY DYING BRIDE's album material. The three-disc set will also be accompanied by a specially limited 72-page hardback book, featuring rare images and photographs from the band's personal archive from over the years.
To coincide with this 20-year celebration, MY DYING BRIDE will also re-release a vinyl version of one of the band's most respected early works, "Turn Loose the Swans", which will be limited to 2,000 numbered copies, and features the original vinyl cover artwork design and gatefold sleeve.
MY DYING BRIDE has been the leading light of doom metal since their debut album, "As the Flower Withers", was released on Peaceville Records back in 1992. Influenced by acts such as CELTIC FROST and CANDLEMASS, the band's heavy atmospherics have carved a huge worldwide following over the years and they remain at the pinnacle of the genre.
MY DYING BRIDE is:
Aaron Stainthorpe - Vocals
Andrew Craighan - Guitar
Hamish Glencross - Guitar
Lena Abé - Bass
Dan Mullins - Drums
Shaun Macgowan - Keyboards/Violin

AS I LAY DYING Frontman Launches \'Modern Rebellion\' Clothing Line
 Tim Lambesis, lead vocalist of the popular San Diego, California metal band AS I LAY DYING, has launched a new clothing line called Modern Rebellion. The company has launched an official web site and merchandise store through 3rd Degree Merch.
The mission of Modern Rebellion is to spread a positive message of charity and to often put one's personal needs second to those of others. With that mindset Modern Rebellion will be giving profits to Trees Of Glory, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing clean water for children in Duber, Ethiopia.
"For many of us growing up, rebellion was a way to fight against what we felt were pointless and oppressive rules," said Lambesis. "Times have changed. Today we often submit to popular thinking without notice and believe that our greatest purpose is to serve ourselves. The truest form of rebellion left is to reject this mindset and live for something more. That is why I have partnered in starting Modern Rebellion. What I profit from this endeavor goes to support orphanages that I have personally visited and benefits a group of people much more deserving than myself. Beyond that, I think the apparel and designs themselves create a style that well represents my personal taste."
Purchase merchandise from Modern Rebellion and learn more about Trees Of Glory at ModernRebellionApparel.com.

He continued, "The song 'Drop Dead' was chosen by Stefan. It was a lot of fun to play in front of the sold-out Schalke Arena on the truck with flamethrowers and pyrotechnics! Stefan controlled the pyros and at one point he was nearly melting the amps. " Frontman Peavy Wagner added: "Even if we got grilled, it was just an amazing experience." Drummer André Hilgers is still overwhelmed: "It was a breathtaking venue, a great crew and an absolutely awesome atmosphere."

THE SWORD Drummer Quits
 On the heels of the cancellation of their European tour, Austin, Texas luminaries THE SWORD are also regretfully canceling the remainder of their scheduled U.S. dates due to the departure of their drummer, Trivett Wingo. The split is amicable and both Trivett and the rest of the band wish each other the best of the luck with their respective plans. THE SWORD is already working diligently to reschedule its European and U.S. dates.
Commented Trivett: "It is with deep sadness that I am announcing my departure from THE SWORD.
"After nearly seven years and some of the most amazing adventures of a lifetime, I have arrived at a place where I am physically and emotionally unable to continue on as part of THE SWORD. If I could go any further, I would as I love the music and JD, Bryan and Kyle are people that I deeply respect, but I have reached a point where I just can't do this anymore.
"I would like to thank the wonderful people who made this experience what it has been: the fans, the people that I have worked and all of the bands and musicians that have inspired me over the years. I thank you and apologize for any disappointment that this may cause anyone, not least of which THE SWORD."
The remaining members of THE SWORD have released the following statement regarding Trivett's departure:
"We wish Trivett nothing but the best, and it is with heavy hearts that we bid him farewell. He is a phenomenal musician and has been an integral part of this band's success. He helped to lay the foundation that we will continue to build upon, and we wouldn't be where we are without him. We wish he could continue the adventure with us, but we understand that the life of a touring musician is not for everyone. It's been a hell of a ride, and we're sad to see this part of the journey end. The show must go on, though, and will be back on the road as soon as humanly possible."
"Warp Riders", the third full-length album THE SWORD, sold around 8,900 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 47 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"It's gonna be more song-orientated and I want each individual song to really have something to say," the band's frontman and namesake told Sleaze Roxx in a new interview. He added, "I always like to sing about the darker side of life; it's just more interesting to me than... happy things. And through all the years, and after several recordings, I can say I'm a better singer and a better performer than back in the '80s because I'm more open-minded to all different styles of music and my way of singing. Nowadays I'm able to sing more the full range and it sounds good to me. . . All I want is to come out with the record of our lives!"  | 0 |  |
