TRIPTYKON Frontman Sings ANGEL WITCH\'s Praises
 TRIPTYKON/ex-CELTIC FROST mainman Tom Gabriel Fischer has posted the following message on his official blog:
"I had waited 30 years for this.
"It is not a coincidence that TRIPTYKON practices in a rehearsal room decorated with ANGEL WITCH photos and record sleeves. The importance of ANGEL WITCH's music with regard to my own path cannot be overstated. Hearing ANGEL WITCH's groundbreaking and utterly dark 'Baphomet', on the legendary 'Metal For Muthas' compilation in 1980, was a revelation beyond any description. As was ANGEL WITCH's eponymous debut album, that same year. It hardly ever left my record player. Kevin Heybourne's songwriting and playing style in ANGEL WITCH spoke to me far beyond most other music I had ever heard, and it became — along with BLACK SABBATH's 'Vol. 4' and VENOM's 'Welcome To Hell' — a most crucial inspiration which eventually encouraged me to try and form my own group. These were the very roots of HELLHAMMER.
"I couldn't help reflecting on all of these things, of course, as I was standing at the side of Jalometalli Festival's second stage some time after midnight on August 15, 2010, watching ANGEL WITCH perform shortly after we in TRIPTYKON had finished our own set on the other stage. I had wished fervently to see ANGEL WITCH live when I was a teenager during the NWOBHM years of the early 1980s; alas it never became possible. ANGEL WITCH, not unlike CELTIC FROST, subsequently traversed a variety of musically contradictory and inconsistent periods. But now, all this time later, what had already transpired by means of reports from friends in the scene in recent years was confirmed beyond any doubt. I was witness to a concert by an intoxicatingly revitalized, spirited band. Iconic songs such as 'Baphomet' or 'Angel Of Death' radiated a staggering, modern darkness and heaviness.
"Kevin himself was most gracious and patient in enduring my pathetic fanboy worshipping after the concert, and I am deeply indebted to ANGEL WITCH's Will Palmer for making all of this even possible in the first place. It meant the world to me. I have become a musician in my own right in the many years since 'Metal For Muthas', but as I stated recently onstage in London, I owe infinitely much of it all to ANGEL WITCH."  | 0 |  |

DAATH Completes Work On \'Extremely Dark\' New Album
 Atlanta-based quintet DAATH will release its third, self-titled full-length album on October 26 via Century Media Records. Drummer Kevin Talley (ex-CHIMAIRA, DYING FETUS) began laying down his tracks in Atlanta on June 7 with renowned producer Mark Lewis (ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM, DEVILDRIVER) and co-producer Eyal Levi (guitar) at the helm.
Commented guitarist Emil Werstler: "I've been listening to the final master of this record for a couple of days now.
"It is hard to believe that the task has been in process since March. In retrospect, I will say that more sacrifice was put into this record than anything I've ever been involved in. The content is EXTREMELY dark, distraught, and completely honest. The timing is appropriate as well considering how lacking music has been in the creative department for the last year or two.
"I'm not hinting that we are going to become some pop culture phenomenon. We have no interest in that. As long as someone completely hates it, loves it or is moved in anyway be it positive or negative, our job is done. We have no interest in middle ground. You would have to be deaf to not hear that."
"Daath" track listing:
01. Genocidal Maniac
02. Destruction/Restoration
03. Indestructible Overdose
04. Double Tap Suicide
05. The Decider
06. Exit Plan
07. Oxygen Burn
08. Accelerant
09. Arch {Enemy} Misanthrope
10. Manufactured Insomnia
11. A Cold Devotion
12. N.A.T.G.O.D.
13. Terminal Now

Acting In The Cards For SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR Singer?
 STONE SOUR and SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor is a singer, a songwriter and is soon going to be a published author as well. What other fields can he conquer? Well, he does some pretty decent acting in STONE SOUR's new video for "Say You'll Haunt Me" (see below), and The Pulse of Radio asked the singer a while back if he had interest in acting in movies. "I have no aspirations to really get into acting, you know," he said. "I mean, it's something that — I've always wanted to write for movies, you know, I've always wanted to write a screenplay and I've written a couple in the past and what not. But yeah, if it happens, it happens, you know. It's not something that I pursue."
Despite being the singer for two well-known rock bands, surprisingly Taylor told The Pulse of Radio he hasn't met many actors personally. "Well, I kind of met Seth Green," he said. "We passed each other at the VMAs a couple of years ago. And he kind of — and I was in full SLIPKNOT rig, so he was just kind of like, 'Hey...' you know? And I'm a short guy but I'm still like a good foot above him, so it was like — but it was still, I was like, 'That's Seth Green right there, dude, that's awesome!' You know?"
Taylor revealed earlier this week to Attention Deficit Delirium that he has written a book about the Seven Deadly Sins, which he hopes to have published by next spring.
The singer is currently on the road with STONE SOUR as part of the Uproar festival tour, with the band's new "Audio Secrecy" album set to arrive on September 7.
A new SLIPKNOT concert DVD titled "(sic)nesses" will surface a few weeks later, on September 28.

\'The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria\' Artwork, Track Listing Revealed
 Universal Music will release "The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria"DVD and Blu-ray containing footage of the June 22, 2010 Sonisphere cinecast from the Sofia, Bulgaria leg of the touring rock festival featuring the "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal — METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX. The DVD hits the streets on October 15 in Northern Europe, October 18 in most of the rest of the world, October 19 in North America and the full shows from all four bands will be included in the two-disc set along with behind-the-scenes and interview footage. In addition to the two-DVD set and the corresponding Blu-ray, there will be a limited-edition "super deluxe" box set including the DVD set, five CDs with ALL the music, a 24-page booklet, a poster, photos of each band, and a "Big Four" guitar pick.
METALLICA was joined onstage during the show by members of MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX for a performance of the DIAMOND HEAD song "Am I Evil?"
METALLICA frontman James Hetfield, MEGADETH singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine and ANTHRAX vocalist Joey Belladonna took turns singing the song, which has been a part of METALLICA's live set for decades. The event marked the first time that Dave Mustaine had performed onstage with METALLICA since April 9, 1983. An original member of the band, he was fired just weeks before METALLICA recorded its debut album, "Kill 'Em All".
Mustaine, who was replaced by Kirk Hammett, went on to form MEGADETH and achieve worldwide success on his own.
He still harbored a grudge against METALLICA, however, with some of his feelings coming out in an intense scene with drummer Lars Ulrich in the 2005 documentary "Some Kind Of Monster".
According to Billboard.com, the Sonisphere cinecast from Sofia was beamed via satellite in HD to cinemas and was seen by more than 100,000 fans. It was distributed globally into hundreds of cinemas by New York-based BY Experience.
In the U.K. it was screened in 79 cinemas. "At the Odeon in Leicester Square in London there was a mosh pit, and at the end of the show they had a stage invasion, which is just phenomenal to even think about," promoter Stuart Galbraith told Billboard.com.

01. Creeping Death

According to a press release, "Jack is still in DEICIDE; he is a member of both bands.

This, really, is a reunion of metal as these guys (including Rich Ziegler, bass) have all shared the stage together in the Buffalo bands: TIRANT SIN, BEYOND DEATH, LEVIATHAN."
GRAVE DESCENT will enter Watchmen Studios in September to record new original material for an upcoming CD release.
Formed in the summer of 2009, GRAVE DESCENT "combines horrific lyrics with a massacre of old-school riffs, death and doom to bring forth their brutal sound," according to a press release.
GRAVE DESCENT is:
* Dennis John Glinski (TIRANT SIN, MAYHEMESIS, CARNAL DISSECTION) - Vocals
* Mike Green (LEVIATHAN) - Guitar
* Jack Owen (CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, BEYOND DEATH) - Guitar

TRISTANIA Officially Joined By Former GREEN CARNATION Frontman
 Norwegian gothic metallers TRISTANIA have issued the following update:
"Last summer, Østen [Bergøy, vocals] announced that he had decided to take some time off from TRISTANIA to devote his time and attention to the new family members expected in August. A year on, it has become obvious that the time, dedication and efforts of fatherhood makes it hard to continue as a full-time member. Due to this, Østen recently informed the band that he sees no other option than to make his decision a permanent one. TRISTANIA has asked Kjetil Nordhus (HEAD DISCO, ex-GREEN CARNATION, ex-TRAIL OF TEARS), who was engaged as Østen's temporary stand-in, to replace Østen on a permanent basis, and Kjetil has accepted the offer."
Commented Østen: "I think it was about a year ago I announced that I was taking a break from TRISTANIA to be with my girlfriend and the twins she was carrying. As some of you might recall, I promised that this break was just temporarily and that I would be back within a year or so.
"I am sorry to say that I have to break my promise. I never intended to, but the time I have spent with my family has made it obvious that it is impossible for me to combine playing an active part in TRISTANIA with playing an active part in my children's life. Based on these conclusions I have decided to leave the band. It has been the best ten years of my life, a wonderful experience.
"It is hard to write this without getting sentimental. I will miss you all.
"I do not feel that I am fleeing a sinking ship — the current lineup in TRISTANIA is the strongest ever in my opinion — the new album is a killer and with Kjetil and Gyri aboard — the band seems to have the motivation for serious touring to get the music out to stages all over the world.
"I want to wish TRISTANIA the best of luck in the future.
"Thank you all for your patience and your dedication and for the good times."
TRISTANIA guitarist/harsh vocalist Anders Høyvik Hidle ahd the following to say regarding Østen's departure: "It was with a great deal of sadness I received the news from Østen when he informed us that he'd realized it was impossible for him to return to the band.
"Østen has been one of my closest friends for the last 15 years and I love him as a brother. I was the one who asked him to work with us in the first place — first as a guest and later as a full member. The years we've shared together in the band have been amazing. At the same time I admire him for being true to himself and I completely understand that it would be impossible for him to combine his role as a father for his one-year-old twins with an active role in TRISTANIA, especially considering the extensive touring and other activities we are planning with 'Rubicon'.
"Even though it's a sad thing for us to know that Østen will stay home when we're doing tours in the future, it is great news that Kjetil has accepted to become a full-time member.
"Kjetil was the first person that came to my mind when Østen first told me about his babies, and I'm really glad he accepted our offer. In my eyes he is the perfect replacement for Østen."
"I've known Kjetil for almost ten years, and he truly is a great guy. As a singer he is impressively professional."

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE Guitarist Says There Are No Plans For Band To Record New Album
 On August 20, Crash and LT of the Orlando, Florida radio station 101.1 WJRR conducted an interview with RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE guitarist Tom Morello. You can now listen to the 12-minute chat below.
When asked about a recent quote from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE frontman Zack De la Rocha where the singer reportedly said that the chances of the band recording a new album are better now than they have been before, Morello replied, "I think that that is an inaccurate quote. There's no plans for that now." He added, "We're playing some shows in South America. The band gets along great, we're playing some of the best shows of our career over the last couple of years, and no one is ruling out that... [Zack's] been in the middle of making a ONE DAY AS A LION record, and he's been on tour with that, I have a STREET SWEEPER [SOCIAL CLUB] record coming out, and I'm working on he next THE NIGHTWATCHMAN record. So there's no plans to go into the studio and do that now, but as a band, I hope that we will continue to, at a minimum, play shows in the future."
Zack de la Rocha told NME.com on June 6 regarding the chances of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE recording a new album, "I think it's a genuine possibility. We have to get our heads around what we're going to do towards the end of the year and finish up on some other projects and we'll take it from there."
RAGE's last set of all-new material was 1999's "The Battle Of Los Angeles". The band issued a collection of covers called "Renegades" in 2000 before splitting.
De la Rocha made his comments following a free show by RAGE at Finsbury Park in London for 40,000 fans.
