HOSTILE CELL Part Ways With Bassist; Announce Replacement
 Swedish metallers HOSTILE CELL have parted ways with bassist Johan Andreassen. According to a band update, "this decision was made quickly due to a series of events related to the making of our new album The Deafening. Johan has failed to fulfill his part in order to get this album out, and we have not spoken to him in days. Apparently he has no interest in explaining himself or pay the money that he owes us as he has made himself unreachable in every way. The good news is that we are all extremely happy to announce, that original bass player Per Romvall, is once again a permanent member in the band. A good friend and talented musician is back to make Hostile Cell better than ever!"
Hostile Cell will release their new album, The Deafening, on May 12th through Coreshot Productions with distribution through Plugged Records Distribution.
The cover art by David Heleander of All Custom Tattoo has been revealed (click image at left to enlarge). The Deafening will include the following tracklisting:

ABIGAIL WILLIAMS Working On New Album
 ABIGAIL WILLIAMS has completed recording of individual performances for its as-yet-untitled second album. Captured at Conquistador Studios in Cleveland, Ohio, eight new songs were laid down with vocalist/guitarist Ken Sorceron and engineer Cole Martinez controlling the audio takes. The tracks are currently being mixed by Peter Tägtgren (DIMMU BORGIR, IMMORTAL, CELTIC FROST) and are expected to be completed later this month.
Commenting briefly on the new material, Sorceron notes, "There is a lot less keyboards on the new songs. They are far more guitar-driven and have a bit more of a traditional sound in some ways but still very ABIGAIL WILLIAMS-sounding.
"We let ourselves have much more room with writing this album; kind of a more open, free environment than any we have employed before.
"The studio experience this time round was very natural to us. We recorded everything with much more ease and I think it has helped in capturing a very honest vibe."

MONSTER MAGNET Recording Guitar-Heavy New Album
 MONSTER MAGNET recently entered the studio with producer Matt Hyde to begin recording its new album for a summer 2010 release via Austria's Napalm Records.
Speaking to Metal Injection at last week's Revolver Golden Gods Awards in downtown Los Angeles, guitarist Ed Mundell said, "We're about to finish a new record coming out in the summer. [It will have] 15 tracks and Dave [Wyndorf] is doing the vocals right now. He couldn't make it tonight 'cause he's in Van Nuys doing vocals. We're waiting for him to finish it up."
Regarding the new CD's musical direction, Mundell said, "It's more like space rock and THE STOOGES. There's no hit singles — it's all just rocking, lots of crazy effects. And Dave's singing better than ever. Lots of guitars. Four weeks of tracking guitars — nothing but guitars."

Former MOONSPELL Bassist Remembers PETER STEELE
 Former MOONSPELL bassist Ares, who is currently involved with the Portuguese female-fronted act WITCHBREED, has released the following statement regarding the passing of TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele:
"These are sad and shocking news.
"I had the chance to tour with TYPE O NEGATIVE as a support band for their 'October Rust' European tour, meet Peter Steele and every single night I would watch TYPE O NEGATIVE take the stage and play; it was never enough. The impression he left was that of a gentle giant, kind, polite and down to earth.
"I was a CARNIVORE fan before and his voice and music deeply marked my youth and imagination as a musician.
"In my bass rig there's this Swedish Octave pedal that was offered to me by Peter himself and after 13 years or so I'm still using it reminding me of those glorious days.
"The reason why I felt I should dedicate some words on Pete is because during [WITCHBREED's] meetings as a band, TYPE O NEGATIVE is a regular mention as a source of inspiration and admiration for their music and Pete's unique vocal style and tone.
"Life sucks and your existence will be missed."

WITCHERY Is Back!
 Sweden's WITCHERY will release a new album, "Witchkrieg", in July via Century Media Records. The CD will mark the recording debut of the band's new vocalist, Legion (MARDUK, DEVIAN).
Commented guitarist Jensen: "So it's finally, finally, FINALLY time for a new WITCHERY album! And not just any ol' new album, no sir. This is quite possibly the best WITCHERY album to date. Let me correct myself. This IS the best WITCHERY album to date.
"I know a lot of bands claim their current releases to be 'their best work' and everyone knows that's a load of bullshit. However, in our case, I can say its 100% true. If you don't believe me, then check out the album. You will notice how your flapping jaws slowly close, how you crank the volume and how you forget about your miserable life for while!
"On a sadder note, due to conflicting schedules, we have had to part ways with founding member Toxine. We wish our brother in metal all the best in the future. Therefore, I would like to introduce to the world, a new unholy axis of musical terror. We wish to welcome a new fulltime member to the WITCHERY coven; none other than: Legion!!!"
"Witchkrieg" was mixed and mastered Antfarm studios by Tue Madsen (DARK TRANQUILLITY, THE HAUNTED, HEAVEN SHALL BURN). The cover artwork was created by Andreas "Diaz" Pettersson.

SHEAVY: Two New Albums On The Way
 St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada "stoner" rockers SHEAVY have completed work on their new album, "The Golden Age Of Daredevils", for a tentative May release. The CD was recorded as part of the RPM (Record Production Month) challenge, a creative challenge offered yearly to musicians, similar to other time-based challenges such as NaNoWriMo (the National Novel Writing Month held each November).
RPM invites musicians to create a whole album of music, 10 songs or 35 minutes, in the month of February. This is not a contest so there is no winner. The challenge functions solely to give musicians a needed push towards finishing original material and help them achieve a sense of satisfaction. The challenge is open to all participants regardless of style, solo artists or groups, country of origin, language or theme. The albums are then made available for streaming and sharing via an online jukebox, and a listening party is held.
A song from "The Golden Age Of Daredevils" is available for streaming at this location.
SHEAVY's second new project, entitled "Disfigurine" is almost finished as well. According to the band, "vocals need to be done on three tracks and then it's off for mixing and mastering. This album should be available in early July."
SHEAVY has scheduled a hometown show on Saturday, April 24 at Distortion. Also scheduled to appear are SACROSANCT and BLOODSHOT MONK.
SHEAVY's last album, entitled "The Machine That Won the War", was released in 2007 via Candlelight Records. | 0 | |
