ANTAGONIST: New Album Artwork, Release Date Revealed
 Southern California's ANTAGONIST will release its new full-length album, "World In Decline", on August 17 via Prosthetic Records. The CD was recorded at Buzzbomb Studios in Orange, California with producer Paul Miner (TERROR, THRICE, THROWDOWN) and it features guest vocal appearances by ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS' Jared Monette and John Strachan of THE FUNERAL PYRE. The cover artwork was created by Daniel McBride, who has previously worked with VEIL OF MAYA and BORN OF OSIRIS.
Commented vocalist/guitarist Carolos Garcia: "'World in Decline' focuses on the downfall of human civilization as a result of our own selfishness, ignorance, and greed.
"The artwork was handled by our boy Daniel McBride, and the cover art is based on the lyrics for 'Darkest Darkness', which is, basically, about me going to 'confession' just to realize I'm just as guilty as everyone else in contributing to our decline.
"We can't wait for Prosthetic to release the album, and we're even more excited to hit the road and play the new songs for everyone!"
"World In Decline" track listing:
01. The Bane of Existence

PAPA ROACH: \'Kick In The Teeth\' Video Released
 "Kick In The Teeth", the new video from Californian rockers PAPA ROACH, can be viewed below. The song comes off the band's upcoming album, "Time For Annihilation...On The Road and On The Record", which will feature a mix of live tracks and new studio cuts. PAPA ROACH frontman Jacoby Shaddix told The Pulse of Radio why the band decided to issue a live album now. "Everybody keeps going, 'Man, you guys, you know, you guys kill it live, you guys are a great live band,' and we were like, 'You know what, it's time for us to do a live record,'" he said. "And so we wrapped up 2009, we were doing dates with SHINEDOWN, and we started recording shows towards the end of that. We got nine live songs, and then we have five studio songs, and so it's kind of like the best of both worlds."
Shaddix explained why the band split the album between live and studio material, saying, "We've always wanted to capture the energy of our live shows but didn't want to do the same old thing that most bands do, so we decided to put five brand new studio tracks on the record along with some of our favorites from the road and we are really proud of the final result."

SPIRITUAL BEGGARS Inks European Deal With INSIDEOUT MUSIC
 SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, the Swedish band featuring ARCH ENEMY guitarist Michael Amott and bassist Sharlee D'Angelo, along with new vocalist Apollo Papathanasio (FIREWIND), has inked a deal with InsideOut Music for the release of the group's seventh studio album, "Return To Zero". Due in Europe on August 30, the follow-up to 2005's "Demons" was recorded at Sweetspot Studio with producer Rickard Bengtsson.
"The new SPIRITUAL BEGGARS album is to my ears some of best stuff I've ever done with this band and I'm very much looking forward to releasing the seventh SPIRITUAL BEGGARS studio album, 'Return To Zero', with the help and expertise of the InsideOut team!" stated Amott. "At the end of the day, it was a no-brainer to do a new licensing deal with the InsideOut label, they did a great job on the 'Demons' album and the 'Live Fire!' DVD (2006). Since then, they have merged with the Century Media company whom I have a long and successful history with. I already know a lot of the people that will be involved in this release, and that feels good. I respect InsideOut label boss Thomas Waber for being a true music fan and for his undying enthusiasm and efforts in making this deal happen."
Added InsideOut's Waber: "We had a great experience with the 'Demons' album and are looking forward to working the new one as well. After all the turmoil last year, things are back on top and better than ever and SPIRITUAL BEGGARS will no doubt benefit from this!"

SCORPIONS Forced To Cancel Columbus Show
 German hard rock veterans SCORPIONS have been forced to cancel their performance in Columbus, Ohio that was scheduled for Wednesday, June 30 at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion. Singer Klaus Meine is suffering from a chest cold and his throat doctor has instructed him to take three days of rest until the next scheduled show (Thursday, July 1 in Detroit, Michigan). His doctor advised him that performing six concerts in eight days will delay his recovery and the only solution is to, unfortunately, cancel Columbus. Worldwide tour scheduling prevents the group from being able to return to the area this year.
The band says, "It is with a heavy heart that we have to disappoint our longtime, devoted fans in Columbus, Ohio by not being able to perform there.
"Klaus' doctors have told him in no uncertain terms that he needs the proper rest so he can shake the bug and successfully continue the tour.
"We want to be able to play at the level that audiences have come to expect from us.
"We sincerely apologize to our fans in Columbus and regret any inconvenience this will cause. We truly thank you for years of support.
"Tickets will be refunded beginning July 1 at the original point of purchase.
A FREE show will go on for opener CINDERELLA. The band is in town and ready to rock. Local rockers AMERICAN DOG will kick off the party.

BAD RELIGION: New Album Title Revealed
 Bassist Jay Bentley of punk rock legends BAD RELIGION revealed in a new video interview (see below) conducted this past Saturday (June 26) at the Azkena Rock Festival in Vitoria, Spain that the band's new studio album will be titled "The Dissent Of Man".
Working again with producer Joe Barresi (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, TOOL), BAD RELIGION entered the studio armed with 16 songs that are filled with deeply personal experiences, cautionary tales and a developing worldview, spanning the gauntlet from their signature high energy punk rock to a more introspective melodic sound.
"We wouldn't embark on this new creative endeavor, Brett [Gurewitz, guitar] wouldn't have embarked on parenthood, I wouldn't have embarked on writing a book, if we hadn't reached a place in our lives where we felt the confidence that we had something to offer and that's what these songs represent," said Graffin. "They represent a new found confidence that things are starting to make sense to us."
"Being a new parent has colored my whole world," added Gurewitz. "As a result I've written songs that at least for me, are somewhat less angsty and more introspective and vulnerable. The experience has emboldened me to take some creative risks as a songwriter that I've not allowed myself to take before."
Risks that nevertheless have already been embraced by the band's passionate fans, as evidenced by the overwhelming response to two new songs, "Resist Stance" and "Won't Somebody". The songs were debuted during a series of live shows celebrating BAD RELIGION's anniversary, recorded and given away as part of a free digital album, "30 Years Live", as a thank-you to their fans for their support over the last three decades. Rabid fans immediately lit up blogs and message boards with raves about the new material and excitement over the new record, which will be out this fall. In the meantime, BAD RELIGION continue to tour the world, bringing their amazing live show to more new countries and playing more shows with each passing year.

CRIMSON GLORY Claims \'In Dark Places\' Box Set Is Being Released Without Band\'s Permission
 Florida-based melodic metal veterans CRIMSON GLORY have released the following statement:
"CRIMSON GLORY does not recognize nor sanction the new CD releases or box sets made by Metal Mind Records (Poland). They are producing our CDs illegally and thus have ZERO rights to market, promote, advertise, release, distribute or sell any of our material; therefore they have ZERO rights to make any profit from our image, likeness or music.
"This has been an ongoing battle between CRIMSON GLORY and Metal Mind ever since Roadrunner Records . . . illegally [sold] the rights (which they did not possess) to the Polish record company in 2007. It is a glaring example of what a shambles the music industry has become, and it is crucial to the band that their fans recognize the reality of the situation."
Commented CRIMSON GLORY lead guitarist and founding member Jon Drenning: "We have become disenfranchised from our own music, with everybody making a profit from our efforts but us! As a group of hard-working dedicated musicians who have now given 25 years of our lives and hearts to this band and this music, it is beyond heart-breaking to watch these companies profit from [these] actions. This music is our passion; creating each record has been a labor of love, and what's happening to us and our music right now is frustrating and insulting."
He added, "We wish to make it perfectly clear to our friends and fans out there, all over the world, that these and any other albums or releases are not being produced or distributed with our permission, and that the money they wish to spend on our records is money that we as a band have earned but will never see until this matter is properly resolved.
"In the meantime, CRIMSON GLORY is presently negotiating with other labels regarding the remastering, re-releasing and future distribution of all of our material, and anything to do with the band regarding album releases, tour dates, promotional material, etc., will be shared via official press releases and the CRIMSON GLORY MySpace and Facebook pages ONLY."

KING OF ASGARD Is \'Proud\' Of Forthcoming Debut Album
 Swedish viking folk/death metal band KING OF ASGARD recently completed work on its debut album, "Fi'mbulvintr", for a tentative August European release via Metal Blade Records.
Commented the band: "It's been a while now and the debut album was recorded way back now.
"On the 19th of March, KING OF ASGARD went their way to Varberg, Sweden, and Sonic Train Studios. The recording was done during two intense weeks with Andy La Rocque [KING DIAMOND guitarist] as engineer and co-producer. We worked really hard, nights and days, using both A and B studios for the ultimate outcome of our stay. All of us with the aim to make this release as satisfying as possible, leaving nothing to chance. Thirteen songs were nailed on track, including intro and outro. The arrangements are well thought through and the vocal tracks being laid down with a lot of thought behind. The production has a somewhat organic sound to it, simple and raw, yet allowing everything shine through and bring the production to its full justice.
"Both recording, mixing and mastering took place at Sonic Train Studios and we had eyes and ears to it all the way, along with the great support and professionalism from Andy La Rocque. So with all efforts put down in this we are very proud and anxious to get this out and see from where to start."
KING OF ASGARD was formed in 2008 by Karl Beckman (ex-MITHOTYN) after he dissolved his latest musical projects. He teamed up with Karsten Larsson (FALCONER), a one-time accomplice in the defunct viking horde MITHOTYN, and the decision was made to go back to their roots both musically as well as heading for their Norse heritage in lyrical approach. With creativity flowing, numerous songs were written and KING OF ASGARD recorded a seven-track demo, "Prince Of Märing", at Lotang Studio. In late 2009 Jonas Albrektsson joined the ranks on bass to strengthen the lineup further.
KING OF ASGARD features members of such acts as MITHOTYN, FALCONER, THY PRIMORDIAL, INDUNGEON and DAWN.
KING OF ASGARD is:
Karl Beckman - Guitar, Vocals
Jonas Albrektsson - Bass
Karsten Larsson - Drums | 0 | |

SAHG To Release New Album In August
 SAHG, the Norwegian heavy rockers who feature in their ranks current/former members of GORGOROTH, MANNGARD and AUDREY HORNE, will release their third album, "Sahg III", on August 30 through Indie Recordings. According to a posting on the band's MySpace page, "The explosive follow-up to 'Sahg I' and 'Sahg II', features ten blistering new songs."
SAHG previously stated about its new material, "There are a lot more of the fast songs, but on the other hand, the groovy ones are heavier than ever."
SAHG last year announced the addition of drummer Thomas Lönnheim to the group's ranks.
Regarding the group's collaboration with Indie, vocalist/guitarist Olav Iversen previously said, "The best thing about Indie is that they are passionate about what they do. They really care more about the music than the money, unlike most others in this business. That was crucial for our decision. Indie has been in close relation to SAHG and given very valuable support since day one. So signing with Indie Recordings seems like the most natural thing in the universe. Indie made a very good effort handling distribution and promotion for both our previous albums in Norway. And they have always been very supportive towards where we have been going musically. Being based in the same country, we have at times had a closer connection to Indie than to our previous label, Sweden-based Regain Records. We want to work with a record company that is genuinely interested in what we do, and we believe that Indie Recordings is such a record company. We believe this is the right place for SAHG to develop further and keep on expressing what we want musically."

AVSTAND - New Album Available
 Motstanderen the new album from Norwegian black metallers AVSTAND has been released on Misantrof AntiRecords. Preferring to see itself as an “anti” label, and headed by its founder, CARPATHIAN FOREST bass player Daniel Vrangsinn, Misantrof’s aim is to offer an alternative to mainstream labels. Beyond covering its usually very minimal expenses, Misantrof ensures that it takes no profits and that the artists themselves retain complete control of every aspect of their releases and benefit from all the revenue generated by sales, something that is virtually unheard of with usual labels. Having previously restricted itself to releases available via free download only, Avstand’s Motstanderen” is the first Misantrof release to also be available to buy in CD format. More information about the album can be found at Avstand.misantrof.net.
Tracklisting for Motstanderen, which is currently limited to 100 copies, is as follows:
'Intro, Begravelse'
'Open the Gate'
'The Beginning'
'Reveal Yourself To Me'
'Walk With Me And Open Your Eyes'
'Hand Me My Spear'
'Essence of Negativity, The Beginning'
Avstand was formed as a solo project in 2005 by Antiminister (FRAMFERD), as a means of expressing thoughts and feelings that he couldn’t express in any other artistic medium. The name, which means “distance” in English, was chosen because it best expressed Anti’s way of writing music and lyrics. In 2006, the first tracks, which were recorded on a BOSS 8 track, appeared on the internet and it was not long before Avstand hit controversy with the song 'Muhammed' which garnered massive support from some quarters and death threats from others. Guess What’s Burning, the first full-length album from Avstand was released in 2009 on Forces of Satan Records.
Avstand then returned to the studio to begin work on the next album, and, after seeing a performance by Death Metallers ZAREPTHRA, Antiminister approached drummer Krutt with a view to him playing drums on the album, a cooperation that turned out so well that Krutt became a permanent member of the band. Daniel Vrangsinn, who had heard Avstand’s previous work, had always kept the band at the back of his mind, and by chance contacted the band in late 2009. After hearing an unmastered track, he offered Avstand a contract with Misantrof, and also agreed to master the album, as well as designing the cover artwork and producing a promo video.

According to the federal lawsuit ( court documents in PDF format) obtained by TMZ.com, folk singer Jake Holmes says he snagged a copyright for "Dazed and Confused" in 1967, two years before ZEPPELIN recorded its version that sounds suspiciously similar.
According to TMZ.com, even if a court decides Page "ripped off" Holmes, the folk singer can only sue for damages from the last three years, because of statute of limitations.

GODHATE: New Video Released
 "Godhate", the brand new video from Swedish death metallers GODHATE, can be viewed below. The song comes off the band's new album, "Equal In The Eyes Of Death", which was released in January via Metal Age Productions.
Commented GODHATE guitarist/vocalist Tony Freed: "This is the first video I made for GODHATE and it was intended to be just a test to see if I could manage the editing program and later on make a real video for the song 'In Praise Of Sin'. But as some of you know me, it turned out to be a more serious project than I planned for. And now that it is finished it would be a pity not letting this thing out.
"Anyhow, I'm pretty satisfied with the result. It has a good background story that goes in line with the lyrics and it is as dark and raw as I wanted it to be."

The quintet's craft of morbid melodies, intricate guitar work, and extreme drumming will surely rank THE LAST FELONY as one of Canada's elite metal outfits." | 0 | |
