EXCITER Frontman Pays Tribute To PETER STEELE
 Vocalist Kenny Winter of Canadian thrash metal pioneers EXCITER has released the following statement regarding the passing of TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele:
"Kenny Winter and EXCITER would like to extend our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Peter Steele. I had the opportunity to meet him back in '93 at the famed Limelight in New York City. I don't have to elaborate how intimidated I was by his height but he had such calm demeanor and a soft spoken way about him that immediately put me at ease. Our conversation was short but he made such an impression that I became a fan. I saw his CARNIVORE reunion show at the Limelight as well, one of the most primal performances I have ever witnessed. Fan reaction was enviable. But, funny as it may seem, one of the things I remember the most is his car [see picture below]… it scared the hell out me.
"From CARNIVORE to TYPE O NEGATIVE, Pete Steele was an ass-kickin' performer.
"Forever immortal."

BONAMASSA Is Proud Of His Supergroup With BONHAM, HUGHES
 There is a new supergroup on the scene and it features ex-DEEP PURPLE bassist/singer Glenn Hughes, LED ZEPPELIN reunion drummer Jason Bonham, DREAM THEATER's former keyboardist Derek Sherinian, and guitarist Joe Bonamassa. The band was known as BLACK COUNTRY but learned that name was taken and has since been forced to come up with something else.
Bonamassa spoke to VH1 Radio Networks' Dave Basner about what is going on with the group.
"The band has a name and I won't say it until it's trademarked and on a CD," he said. "The record is done and it'll come out in September. And after that, whatever comes of it is great.
He continued, "People are going, 'Is it gonna tour? Is it gonna tour?' I don't even want to address that because at the end of the day, nobody wants to see a band that made a bad record. So my concentration in the short term is always make the record as good as it can be because there's a lot of expectation."
Joe elaborated on what expectations he felt were out there for the band.
"They expect the sum of its parts and then some," he said. "It's gotta be 'Led Zeppelin I' and DEEP PURPLE 'Burn' and DREAM THEATER 'Pull Me Under' plus whatever bits I've put into it. So for me, I'm really proud of it. It's an unabashed rock record in the truest sense."
The new supergroup featuring Bonamassa, Hughes, Sherinian and Bonham made a surprise debut appearance during the encore at Bonamassa's March 17 concert at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium in Riverside, California. The band performed two songs — "One Last Soul" and a cover of the DEEP PURPLE classic "Mistreated".

AMASEFFER: New Album Title Revealed
 Israeli heavy metal band AMASEFFER has set "When The Lions Leave Their Den" as the title of the second part of its Biblical trilogy. The group states, "We think that this title is best describing the events of our new album which will mainly deal with the actual Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt.
"The trigger to use this title was actually that it's a part of the lyrics for the opening track, 'Pillar Of Fire', written by our dear friend Yotam Avni. Yotam is writing all the lyrics for the new album and so far we think he's 'cooking' a divine creation!
As stated before, Mats Levén (THERION, KRUX), our lead singer, has already recorded vocal lines for a few songs and we expect him to finish the album by the end of May.
"Now to the real fire: Basically all orchestrations are composed, arranged and recorded, now we just have to add them to the rest of the mix (once we'll finish it) and find the right balance for them so it will blend smoothly in the song structures.
"We set a recording date for the 60-piece choir and the drums. Both will be recorded at Gal-Kol studios in Israel and we expect the recording sessions to stretch on a four-day period in beginning of June. Guitars are mostly written and will be recorded at AMASEFFER's studio in Jerusalem right after we finish recording the choir and drums. It will take a few days of guitar recordings and right after that, we will start mixing the album, also at AMASEFFER's studio, then we will send it to Germany for final mastering process. If everything works out as we plan, we expect to have a finished album by July or early August at the latest.
"The concept for the album artwork is also in final stages of development and we are very very happy with it. It is confirmed that Maya Avraham will sing on our new album as well. In our debut album, 'Slaves For Life', Maya sang on one track ('Zipporah') and we were truly amazed by her vocal abilities, so for the new album we have decided to give her bigger and more significant vocal parts.
"We will record Maya at AMASEFFER's studio at the beginning of June.
"Two more very special guests will be revealed right before the album release date, so stay tuned!"

AEROSMITH Guitarist Talks Upcoming Studio Album
 Jed Gottlieb of BostonHerald.com recently conducted an interview with AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
On making amends with Steven Tyler:
Perry: "A month ago we had a sitdown and Steven said, 'I'm ready to front the band again and let's book some gigs.' He looked really strong and healthy and happy and ready to rock. I had one sentence to say to him and he had one sentence to say to me and that finished it. (Those sentences) are just between me and him. I knew the band was going to get back together, I just didn't know if it was going to take a week or a month or a year. Steven and I have been together for 40 years and no bumps in the road are going to change that.
On finally recording that long-delayed new AEROSMITH album:
Perry: "We definitely want to make another record. The way the industry is, there's not a record company screaming at us to make an album, but we feel like we still have a really good record inside us. Not just one, who knows how many. Obviously we can't plot things out the way we could when we were 25, but it's happening. It's just a matter of figuring out when we're going to be on the beach and when we're going to be in the studio."
On trying to write songs with Tyler for the first time in a decade:
Perry: "Obviously, I'd like to write with him. We really haven't talked much about that since we've decided to play gigs again. I know the subject will come up and we'll see what feels comfortable. Like I said, we're not the same guys we were when we were 25. But in a few ways we're similar and I'd like to get back to the way we used to write. I really feel this vibe of the 40th anniversary of the band. To me that means making an album for us and the fans, not one that will just satisfy the label or some A&R man."

AUGUST BURNS RED To Record/Film Hometown Show For Upcoming CD/DVD
 Pennsylvania-based Christian metalcore quintet AUGUST BURNS RED will film its June 4 concert at Warehouse 54 in Manheim, Pennsylvania for a forthcoming CD/DVD, to be released later this year through longtime label home Solid State Records.
Commented guitarist JB Brubaker: "We're stoked to have an opportunity to release a live album and DVD, and it only makes it better that we'll be able to do so in our hometown in front of the people that have been behind us since the beginning."
"Even though this is a hometown show for us," continued Brubaker, "we encourage anyone who wants to travel to come, see how we get down at home, and be a part of this DVD!"
Berlin, Germany's PitCam Production conducted an interview with AUGUST BURNS RED when the group played in Berlin on March 2, 2010. Watch the chat below.
"Constellations", the third full-length album from AUGUST BURNS RED, debuted at an impressive No. 24 on The Billboard 200. Released on July 14, 2009, the LP also landed at No. 8 on Current Rock Albums, No. 2 on Top Hard Music Albums (less than 300 units behind NICKLEBACK!) and No. 2 on the Christian Market chart.
With sales of 20,000 copies in its first week, "Constellations" more than doubled the first-week numbers of its predecessor, 2007's "Messengers", which debuted in The Billboard 200 at No. 81 and went on to sell well over 80,000 copies. "Constellations" also hit the No. 1 New Music Release spot iTunes the day it was released, and entered the Top 100 at No. 6, nestled between a MICHAEL JACKSON best-of album and the movie soundtrack for a certain wizard named Harry. "We thought we set the bar pretty high for this release, but we never envisioned 'Constellations' coming out of the gates the way it has," said guitarist JB Brubaker. "It's so awesome to have such supportive and enthusiastic listeners!"

NIGHTRAGE Frontman Pays Tribute To PETER STEELE
 Vocalist Antony Hämäläinen of multi-national thrashers NIGHTRAGE has released the following statement regarding the passing of TYPE O NEGATIVE frontman Peter Steele:
"Peter Steele and TYPE O NEGATIVE have always been a huge influence on me. Not really musically as more as they were emotionally.
"I remember buying 'Bloody Kisses' on a vacation in America in 1992. It was like a new world opened up to me. I realized then that music was to show no limits. No compromise and no trends exist. Only what you really feel inside. I think Peter Steele was one of the only musicians I ever heard truly do this.
"To the rest of the band: We all feel for you. And we drink to all of you and the Wolf Moon.
"R.I.P. Peter."
