More coming soon!"

WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE SKY Debuts Second Track From Forthcoming Album
 With only a few weeks until the release of their new album, Empires, adventurous metal newcomers WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE SKY are premiering a brand new track, 'The Mettle Of A Man', exclusively at this location.
Empires is set to drop in stores and online everywhere October 12th from CI Records, the label that helped launch the careers of genre related acts like AUGUST BURNS RED and TEXAS IN JULY.
"This is actually one of the oldest songs on the record," explains vocalist Blake Martin. "We had been playing the earliest incarnations of it live for about 6 months prior to hitting the studio. 'Mettle' is definitely us at some of our catchier moments and it's always been a fan favorite live. Personally, I've always loved it because of the pacing."
In preparation of the pending release, the South Jersey six-piece are also streaming the track 'We Are But Instruments' here.
"Recording ['We Are But Instruments'] was a lot of fun because the vocals have a very intense pattern, and there are a lot of little intricacies in the music itself," explains vocalist Blake Martin. "It's a very a dynamic song and it shows our roots, but also showcases where we are taking our sound over the course of Empires."
Empires is a sensationally strong debut from a band that refuses to have their music fit snugly in a single tiny box. Tempering full-throttle heaviness with driving melody and haunting atmospherics, it's the sound of an album which is just as smart as it is heavy - an unfortunately rare combination in today's current alt music scene.
Leading up to the release of Empires, Where The Ocean Meets The Sky will join TEXAS IN JULY (Equal Vision) and THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE (Good Fight) on the road.

WITHERED Launch New Track Via Adult Swim And Scion A/V Metal Swim Collection
 Atlanta's blackened doom heathens, WITHERED have launched 'Extinguished With The Misery', the lead track from their upcoming album, Dualitas, due October 26th, as part of the new Metal Swim collection, presented by Scion A/V and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The track is available exclusively as a free download on AdultSwim.com/metal starting today.
Dualitas was recorded by KYLESA's Phillip Cope at the Jam Room in Columbia, SC. The CD and vinyl versions of the album have different covers, both of which were created by Paul Romano (MASTODON, TRIVIUM, THE ACACIA STRAIN), who also did the cover for its critically acclaimed predecessor, Folie Circulaire. Prosthetic has launched the pre-order for the album at their official webstore. The vinyl version of Dualitas, will be a 500 piece limited edition gatefold double LP set on 150-gram wax, which contains the exclusive 33 minute instrumental track, Dwell.
Guitarist/vocalist Mike Thompson commented on the track: "We chose 'Extinguished With The Weary', because this song really showcases some of the newer styling to be experienced on Dualitas. It is actually the last song we wrote for the album and we always have a tendency to gravitate towards our newest music when given a choice. We are always looking ahead. This song in particular deals with this same concept. It is about letting go of your emotional and moral foundation. Casting away all the conditioning forced upon you by society, family, friends, etc. so you can redevelop your own reality and approach to life. It's about finding the freedom to, and eliminating any fear of, establishing a pure existence for yourself without repercussion. Also, it's really heavy and nasty; a really good listen."
The track listing for Dualitas is as follows:
'Extinguished With The Weary'
'Residue In The Void'
'Seek the Shrouded'
'Interlude'
'From Shadows'
'The Progenitor's Grasp'
'Aethereal Breath'
'Outro'
Withered will be supporting DANZIG on this fall's installment of his Blackest Of The Black Tour and then joining up with label mates SKELETONWITCH and LANDMINE MARATHON for the North American Skullsplitter 2010 Tour. Confirmed dates can be found on Withered's MySpace page. | 0 | |

ILL NIÑO: New Album Artwork, Release Date Revealed
 New Jersey/New York's ILL NIÑO will release its new album, "Dead New World", on October 26 via Victory Records. The follow-up to 2008's "Enigma" was self-produced, with co-production coming from Clint Lowery (SEVENDUST) and Sahaj Ticotin (RA), and mixed by Eddie Wohl (36 CRAZYFISTS, ANTHRAX, SMILE EMPTY SOUL). The album artwork was created by Tim Butler of XIII Designs (DISTURBED, SLIPKNOT, METALLICA, SLAYER, MICHAEL JACKSON).
"It was our pleasure to work with Tim Butler, who designed ILL NIÑO's 'Dead New World' CD cover," states drummer Dave Chavarri. "We wanted to have a tribal, ethnic-looking cover, and Tim's recreation design of a picture of three South American shrunken heads was everything we wanted. The 'Dead New World' cover definitely touches on our ethnic roots and history."
Regarding the new album's musical direction, Chavarri previously said, "Our new CD is everything you expect from ILL NIÑO's original Latin metal sounds; it's heavy as fuck, full of Cristian growling vocals, melodic choruses, tribal Latin rhythms, sick guitars, as well as also being the most progressive record we've ever recorded!!!"

MMX is the band’s most extreme release to date; War From A Harlots Mouth is once again defining new standards for the extreme underground. | 0 | |

METALLICA\'s HAMMETT On His Guitar Playing: \'I Am No EDDIE VAN HALEN, But I Am Still Learning\'
 On September 15, Joe Matera of Ultimate-Guitar.com conducted an interview with METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Have you started in any manner the songwriting process for the next METALLICA studio album?
Hammett: No, but we do have riffs here and there, but there are no complete songs as yet. But we all have tons of music that is just lying around; in fact all of us do. That is the great thing about METALLICA; there is never any shortage of ideas.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: You just performed a series of "Big Four" shows [METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX]. What was the experience like?
Hammett: The shows were really great and it was a vibe, man. It was like the Eighties all over again, which was very, very cool. We all kind of realized that we are all in this together and that we all had the same sort of objectives and goals. It's just that we had different ways of getting them. At the end of the day, it became more of a celebration of the fact that we are all still around and all standing and still functioning as bands, and that was a very cool thing. And it was a chance for us to kind of reflect and look back at all the times we had together and all the battles we had fought. It was good to know that all of us are still here and still doing it.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: When it comes soloing, what do you think are the important elements that each guitar player should consider when constructing a solo?
Hammett: Ideally, a solo should be like a good meal. Start off with a bang then have a good meaty middle section and then have a sweet finish. For me when it comes to the solo part, the first couple of licks really need to set the tone of the solo. And it should really just jump out and grab you.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: So is there anything that you specifically pay attention to when coming up with your own solos?
Hammett: What I have always tried to do is to come up with catchy things — you know, hooky parts in the guitar solo that will grab the listener's attention. I will try to put melodic parts into that. But, you know, sometimes I just want to make a bunch of noise.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: How do you think you have evolved as a player over the course of your career?
Hammett: That is a hard question to answer, man, because I am so close to my own playing. But I say that I intend to work on my jazz playing more now. You know, I think as a metal guitar player, I am decent. I am no Eddie Van Halen, but I am still learning, am still learning stuff day to day and still feel like I am growing. I also still think that my music writing is still getting better. I'm still on the up and up and I don't feel like I have reached a plateau. I still think there is a lot more for me to do and learn. And I am still very motivated to do that.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Do you have any ambitions to some day to venture out and do a solo album?
Hammett: Yeah, eventually, but right now I have to say that METALLICA is my home and I have no intentions of running away from that home. But I am going to put a book though. I am working on it and that in itself feels like I am making a solo album because it is so much goddamn fuckin’ work! It is all myself. I don't have a band I can rely on or seek support. So I think once I do this book thing, maybe I may start considering doing a solo album, but I don't know.
Ultimate-Guitar.com: Looking back on the "St. Anger" album and its lack of guitar solos, what do you think of that album today?
Hammett: I still love it, man. I think "Frantic", "Dirty Window", the title track and "All Within My Hands", those are just great fuckin' songs and some of my favorite. Frankly, I'm quite shocked that people have such an attitude and issues with it, because for me, it is just another METALLICA album.

LIBERTY N\' JUSTICE: New Single Available For Streaming
 Justin Murr, leader of the Christian rock band LIBERTY N' JUSTICE, has issued the following update:
"This summer I was in the process of recording a 'new' LIBERTY N' JUSTICE double CD (14 covers and 12 originals) where 23 of the 26 songs are recorded and more than half are done with some very cool guest artists. I went into this album wanting to create just a fun rock n' roll record, not trying to record 'Light It Up 2' but just a heavy, groove-guitar, fun-spirited record and I think every one involved has done a great job seeing my vision through...
"During this summer, though, I (sorta) put that record on hold when my 12-year-old daughter had some health issues. She was diagnosed with epilepsy five years ago and five months ago the medication would not control her seizures any more. She started having 30-40 seizures a night and was placed in the hospital and eventually moved into the ICU. Trinity Paige (my daughter) was placed into a medically induced coma and when that did not work they did brain surgery where they removed a large portion of her right frontal lobe. Through God's amazing grace and a testament of his love past my failing faith, Paige two weeks later is showing no signs of seizure activity and has started going to school for half days.
"Being a songwriter/ musician during these times I emptied my feelings on paper with what was going on with her, my marriage,and me. With Vic Rivera's talent and direction we recorded a five-song EP that we are releasing to benefit The Epilepsy Foundation and all the artists involved have donated there time and talent to see my dream through."
A song from the forthcoming EP, entitled "Chasing A Cure", is available for streaming in the YouTube clip below. | 0 | |
