ICED EARTH\'s \'Box Of The Wicked\' Detailed
 ICED EARTH's "Box Of The Wicked" ( cover) will be released in Europe on April 26 (three days earlier in Germany) and May 18 in the U.S. via SPV/Steamhammer Records. The set is limited to 10,000 copies worldwide.
While ICED EARTH's 1998 album "Something Wicked This Way Comes" provided a general overview of the story guitarist/songwriter Jon Schaffer has been conceptualizing for well over a decade, the saga was fully brought to life with the release of the back-to-back conceptual albums "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible of Man". The albums provided answers to mysteries the previous releases created, and the timeliness of the story in today's world were guaranteed to keep people thinking and guessing. Schaffer's ability to convey the central themes and events of the story without always revealing exactly "why" characters' decisions are made and "how" events come to pass will keep fans of the saga coming back as future mediums for the "Something Wicked" storyline are revealed.
The whole saga is now included in this high-quality hardcover boxset (height 13 cm, depth 4.5 cm, width 14.5 cm) featuring the original digipak CDs "Framing Armageddon" and "The Crucible Of Man" as well as the original digipaks EPs "Overture Of The Wicked" and "I Walk Among You". In addition, the boxset includes a bonus cardboard CD with one song from "Framing Armageddon" now sung by Matt Barlow and three previously unreleased live tracks from the Belgian Graspop Metal Meeting festival in 2008, also featuring Barlow on vocals. The boxset will come with a full-color A1 poster and a 12-page booklet with previously unseen photos and liner notes.

Концерты CHIMAIRA отменяются
 Much to our despair, we’ve been denied entry into Russia to perform for our patient and metal starved fans. After having to postpone the original dates from October 2009, we’ve had plenty of time to prepare for this trip. Everything has been in place for weeks now…The gear has been ordered, the flights have been booked, and we’re HERE, on the European continent, ready to depart for St. Petersburg tomorrow morning. But to our absolute dismay and MASSIVE financial burden, the Russian Embassy has refused to issue us our visas. Nice timing right? And after our road manager spending three days at the Embassy searching for answers and resolution, we’ve basically been given the middle finger, and there’s nothing further we can do. Our biggest regret is for the fans who have been waiting months for this weekend to come, and we hope they can understand that we’ve exhausted every option to correct the situation. Please accept our deepest apologies, we’ll try to make it up to you all one day.

HEAVENWOOD - New Re-Recorded Song Available For Download
 Portuguese metallers HEAVENWOOD have re-recorded the second song of their first four-track demo-tape titled, As Illusive As A Dream, dated from 1994. The song is ‘Mortality In Me‘ and it is available now for free download at this location.
Commented guitar-player Ricardo Dias: "'Mortality in Me' was a challenge. We worked on the song the hardest way because we wanted it to sound the most 'analogical' and '90's as possible. Honestly speaking I'm surprised with myself and the rest of the band. It may not sound perfect, once we're not perfect and machines are but a mere reflection of our expression and faith in everything we inject sonically. But it is indeed very honest.“
‘Mortality In Me‘ is also available for streaming online at the band’s MySpace page.
Over the next few weeks the other two songs from the demo will be available for free download:
'In The Meadows Of Heaven'
'Mortality In Me' - (download here)
'Wasted Recumbance'
‘As Illusive As A Dream‘ - (download here)

SAXON: \'Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie\' DVD Detailed
 The long-awaited documentary on British rock legends SAXON, "Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie", will finally be released next month. The delay was caused by the filmmakers' (U.K.'s Coolhead Productions) desire to include newly discovered vintage footage and additional interviews.
Commented Coolhead: "There's no doubt in our minds that when you sit down to watch the film, and all of the amazing extras we've crammed in (over six hours worth of material, with even more stuff which we're planning to make available online to purchasers), you'll agree it's been worth the wait."
The final list of the DVD contents:
* Heavy Metal Thunder - The Movie
* SAXON Live in Germany in 1981
* St George's Day concert 2008
* The Eagle & The Bomber – on tour with MOTÖRHEAD, '79 - '09
* On A Crusade – Archive interviews from recording "Crusader"
* No Excuses - Archive footage from the "Innocence Is No Excuse" recording sessions
* Building The Labyrinth – Recording "Into The Labyrinth"
Commented SAXON frontman Biff Byford: "We're being featured in next month's Classic Rock magazine. We're part of a feature on rock documentaries, and a specially edited 15-minute segment of the film is being included on a free DVD given away with the magazine. It tells the tale of SAXON's first tour with MOTÖRHEAD in 1979 and is very entertaining. It's slightly different to the version on the actual DVD because we were only allowed to use two music tracks on the Classic Rock segment (there's loads of music on the full DVD version)."

GORGUTS: New Song Samples Available
 Guitarist/vocalist Luc Lemay of the reactivated Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada-based technical death metal band GORGUTS has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
"It's been almost a year since I wrote the last update for the upcoming GORGUTS record.
"First, I want to thank everyone that took the time to write us after I posted the rehearsal video with John [Longstreth, drums; DIM MAK, ORIGIN, THE RED CHORD, SKINLESS, POSSESSION, ANGELCORPSE] and I… I can't thank you enough for all the support and enthusiasm towards the band.
"Since then we've been very busy and productive working on the new record!! We got two-thirds of the music written and recorded into two pre-productions.
"I couldn't be happier with the result of this collaboration along with three of the most talented musicians in the metal scene. John, Colin [Marston, bass; DYSRHYTHMIA, BEHOLD... THE ARCTOPUS, BYLA, KRALLICE, INDRICOTHERE] and Kevin [Hufnagel, guitar; DYSRHYTHMIA, WHILE HEAVEN WEPT, BYLA, EUCLID STREET, THE FIFTH SEASON, GREY DIVISION BLUE] have been fantastic and amazingly creative with their instruments for the new compositions.
"Don't expect this record to sound like a previous GORGUTS album.
"We've also been very busy getting ready with the setlist for the upcoming show for Maryland Deathfest. It's so cool re-visit the first four album material and we'll be performing live, for the first time, some of the songs for our upcoming album!!!!
"So, here's a preview of the atmosphere you can expect on the album which we'll be recording later this year!
"Thanks again to all our fans!!
"See you on stage!!"

SPIRITUAL BEGGARS Issue Studio Update
 SPIRITUAL BEGGARS, the Swedish band featuring ARCH ENEMY guitarist Michael Amott and bassist Sharlee D'Angelo, has issued the following update:
"Yes, it's been a long time coming — but we have finally got ourselves back into the studio to record the follow-up to our last studio album, 'Demons' (2005).
"What's five years between friends? :)
"It's been a busy few weeks here in the BEGGARS camp... We started with a week of pre-production rehearsals with the whole band and got all the songs nice and tight, ready and rockin'! We then relocated to Sweetspot Studio and started tracking drums with our producer, Rickard Bengtsson. Ludwig Witt (drums) nailed it in four days and we swiftly moved on to rhythm guitars and bass tracks and finished off with a lead guitar session!
"Needless to say, we used a lot of vintage equipment in this process and we got some really amazing tones.
"The studio itself has really excellent acoustics and that shows in the fantastic drum sound we captured… big, bold and natural!
"To describe the music itself, we feel the songs are strong and melodic with a lot of '70s and early '80s hard rock atmosphere…
"If you are a fan of our albums 'On Fire' and 'Demons', we are pretty sure you will also enjoy this next chapter…
"We'll pick up the work on the record again in April for vocals and keyboards..."

LED ZEPPELIN Approached To Headline U.K.\'s DOWNLOAD Festival
 The organizer of the U.K.'s annual Download festival has told Xfm that LED ZEPPELIN were approached to headline this year's event. Andy Copping admitted that having AC/DC and ZEPPELIN on the same bill would constitute his dream bill.
"If I could get LED ZEPPELIN to play at Download, it would be phenomenal," said the festival chief. "If that's not going to happen, I'm more than happy with what we've got."
"Every single festival in the world approaches LED ZEPPELIN or their management to get them to pay at their festival. Loads of money gets thrown out. It's not what they want to do at the moment and that's fine. They probably never will, but everyone has a stab at it."
