UNHEILIG - neues Video \'Geboren um zu Leben\' online!
 Das lange Warten hat ein Ende! Endlich kommt das lang ersehnte neue Studio-Album "Grosse Freiheit", welches, wie seine Vorgänger, ein weiteres Konzeptalbum ist. Die vielfach autobiografisch geprägten Themen seiner Songs transportiert Der Graf, charismatischer Sänger und Mastermind von UNHEILIG, diesmal in die Welt der Seefahrt.
Das neue Album ist klarer denn je. Aufgenommen wurde "Grosse Freiheit" über das Jahr 2009 in den Tinseltown Studios in Köln mit Kiko Masbaum und Henning Verlage als Produzenten. Die Gitarrenparts sind deutlich kräftiger und präsenter, die Stimme des Grafen noch durchdringender und ausdrucksstärker.
Eine absolut runde Produktion. Nie zuvor haben UNHEILIG eine vergleichbare musikalische Bandbreite gezeigt. UNHEILIG bleiben ihrer musikalischen Linie treu und schicken den Zuhörer wieder einmal auf eine Achterbahnfahrt der Emotionen. Das neue Album "Grosse Freiheit" kommt am 19. Februar 2010 in den Handel.
Und hier könnt Ihr euch da neue UNHEILIG Video "Geboren um zu Leben" ansehen.

MUSTAINE: I Have Been Praying Hard That I Would Be Friends With SLAYER Again And METALLICA Too
 MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's official web site:
"I went to go get a coronary calcium CT scan, or, in other words, a heart scan, and I have good news! They found one!!
"All kidding aside, I had my heart scan done and my score was a mind-blowing zero. This means that I have 0% plaque in my heart and my mom died from congestive heart failure, and that stuff is hereditary, I hear, so I was worried.
"I am so stoked about the result and I owe it to my family, bandmates, and my advisors and handlers for inspiring me to get better, to be better, and to stay better. I can't tell you how much my team, even the label, have really supported me and helped me understand what we can and cannot do, instead of what 'I' can't do.
"Believe it or not, even the media and the press, both positive or negative, have been instrumental in helping me become a better person.
"There have been a lot of life's lessons I haven't been able to learn until recently, but I can tell you I have NEVER felt this good in my 48 years of life on this planet.
"Hell, some stuff can be changed and some can't. I just need to be smart enough to know which is which.
"My manager Mark [Adelman] has mentored me in a business that is constantly changing (he was very instrumental in helping make the 'Big Four' [tour, featuring METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX] happen — for that, my hat and prolly several thousand other's hats are off to you). Funny thing is that I have been praying hard that I would be friends with the guys in SLAYER again, and METALLICA, too.
"Is it just me or does it seem like some prayers have been answered?
"Now, I am just praying that all of the fans around the entire globe will get to see this tour. Personally, I wish we would hit every single country and every major city. That would rule!!!
"One last thing and I will let ya go for Christmas. You are going to want to read this, if you have even read this far.
"I have a friend who is a very successful and wise businessman. Yes, he is one of the 7 1/2 friends.
"Anyway, he told me that he wants to know if he can have a contest for his company and run it through TheLiveLine [a service launched by Mustaine that enables musicians to connect to their audience over the phone]. I said, 'Certainly!' because TheLiveLine is running a contest for me now for a brand new signature Dave Mustaine Marshall 1960 DM-A or 1960 DM-B 4 x 12" speaker cabinet, and a contest for King Of The Ring (a martial arts company) to have a fly-away to Okinawa, Japan.
"I said, 'Whatcha got on yer mind?'
"And he said . . .
"I want to put up travel, hotels, tickets and passes, and some mad money for two 18-plus-year-olds, from anywhere in the world, to go with MEGADETH to one of the 'Big Four' shows.
"'Is this doable, because I would go along to make sure everything is cool.'
"I said, 'Are you out of your mind?'
"He just stonefaced me. He was dead serious.
"So, Scott Holmen (my company representative from TheLiveLine), my very dear friend who shall remain nameless until I get his permission (whom I'm sure you will all meet by way of Internet — prolly by the next time I talk to him) are going to figure out the details and will be launching this sucka by or before NAMM. He will also have a booth at NAMM for you to fill out registration forms or whatev!
"I don't know how to run contests, so I may have some of this stuff wrong, I just know how be the prize (or the boobie prize sometimes, hehehe!).
"In closing, thank you once again for helping me have a great year, to grow in stature and in success, to thirst for truth, and to hunger for humility (sadly, I keep upchucking this last one every once in a while!).
"I love you all and God bless."

FEJD To Enter Studio In March
 FEJD, the Swedish folk rock/metal band featuring members of NOSTRADAMEUS and PATHOS, has issued the following update:
"We've been talking back and forth about the start of the recordings of our second full-length album, and we finally agreed on March 22 as a start date for the recordings. That means that from March 22 we will be [at RoastingHouse Studios] in in Malmö, Sweden to record our coming album.
"We've always been in a situation where we could write music and lyrics in a pace that seamed to fit us as a band, but now with a label behind us we have to work somewhat faster than what we've done in the past. That is something that is both encouraging and new for us but something that we feel very satisfied with, and that stimulates us to work hard to do our best.
"Our new material is very live-oriented, which means that it's easy to 'rock' to and we hope that we will be able to play one or two songs for you live this coming summer.
"Our aim is to get this album our for you to listen to as soon as possible, but that still means that it will take a couple of months after the recordings are finished, say somewhere like August/September 2010, to be completely honest. We are doing our best together with Napalm [Records] to release it as soon as we can."
FEJD released its full-length debut, "Storm", in March 2009 via Napalm Records. | 0 | |

TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED Recording New Album
 British death/grind band TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED has entered the studio to begin recording its third album for a tentative late spring/early summer release. According to the group, "So far, drums and guitars have been completely finished and are sounding the tits!" The CD will be mixed and mastered by Danish producer Jacob Hansen, who has previously worked with RAUNCHY, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, NEAERA, MAROON, VOLBEAT, ABORTED, THE ARCANE ORDER and HATESPHERE, among others.
TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED last year parted ways with drummer Max Blunos and replaced him with Dan Wilding (ABORTED).
"The Great Depression", the second album from TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED, was released on April 14, 2009 via Metal Blade Records. The CD was self-produced by TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED at Red House Farm and Cherry Wood studios, was mixed by Karl Groom at Thin Ice Studios, and was mastered by Dave at The Digital Audio Company.
Formed in late 2006 in Bath England by Rob Purnell and Martyn Evans, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED has been creating some of the most extreme music in death metal, forging the new with the old school. Their blistering blast filled death metal is a devastating aural assault earning them the title of the U.K.'s heaviest band. | 0 | |

SECRETS OF THE MOON Announces New Guitarist
 German progressive black metallers SECRETS OF THE MOON have recruited their live guitarist Ar as a permanent member of the band.
Commented mainman sG: "After nearly 60 shows with this guy, we can assure that he's the right person for this job.
"We always wanted the band to be complete again but we were careful. He went through a lot of highs and lows, through darkness and light with us. He succeeded and became a grand fellow. The time has come to offer him a permanent position within our circle. Welcome!
"I started working on on the follow-up of '2009's] 'Privilegivm' (working title: 'Seven Bells'). We are going to enter the studio in summer 2010.
"I feel it will become a very special album for the band. Much is going to change, much is getting even deeper and disruptive. We are alive. Moreover, I worked on some special releases with Stefan Belda (Prophecy Productions).
"People might not believe in the releases of 'Antithesis' and 'The Ambience Of A Dead Star' on our all-beloved format any longer, but it's going to happen soon. And there's even one more oddity to be released.
"Everything occurs at the right time... ." | 0 | |

DESTINY: New Album Title Announced
 Long-running Swedish metallers DESTINY have set "Global Warming" as the title of their much-delayed new album. According to the band, the music for the nine-song CD "is almost complete. . . As there are a lot of guitar harmonies on the new album DESTINY is considering to once again add a second guitarist to the lineup, to be able to reproduce the songs correctly live. Unfortunately, current guitarist Michael Åberg broke his leg on New Year's Eve, which in turn postponed his final recordings. The only guitar parts left to record is one guitar solo and some acoustic twelve-string guitars. There might be some keyboards added as well. However, the greatest task is still to find the right new singer. Auditions will commence as soon as the final recordings are completed."
Bassist Stefan Björnshög previously stated about DESTINY's singer search, "We will be very careful to choose a vocalist with a strong voice that suits the new music well. It will also be of great importance that he will have a good personality that works well with the rest of the band." | 0 | |

ASPHYX Parts Ways With Bassist, Announces Replacement
 Reformed Dutch death metal outfit ASPHYX has parted ways with bassist Wannes Gubbels due to "musical differences." The group states, "Since ASPHYX is a non-compromising band, we had no other choice than to find a suitable replacement. A replacement in the very person of Alwin Zuur [PULVERIZER, ESCUTCHEON], who, we think, was the missing link. We, however, wish Wannes all the best for the future, musically and personally, and thank him for the past three years.
"Besides the fact that Alwin is a very nice guy, he's also a 100% true old-school death metalhead who, just like us, only wants one thing and one thing only and that's playing death the brutal way without compromises.
"Alwin and ASPHYX already rehearsed and it was a great experience with him on board. The match was there. Alwin thinks and plays 100% ASPHYX and being already a long time fan he stated himself that 'a dream came true.'"
ASPHYX's new lineup will make its live debut at this year's edition of the Hammer Of Doom festival, set to take place February 6, 2010 for at Posthalle in Würzburg, Germany. ASPHYX will play a "special doom set" at the event. | 0 | |

IMMOLATION: New Song Available For Streaming
 A brand new IMMOLATION track, "The Purge", is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The song comes off the veteran New York death metallers' eighth album, "Majesty And Decay", which is scheduled for release on March 9 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded Millbrook Sound Studios in New York with longtime producer Paul Orofino. Mixing duties were handled by Zack Ohren, who has previously worked with DECREPIT BIRTH, SUFFOCATION and ALL SHALL PERISH, among others.
Commented bassist/vocalist Ross Dolan: "It was a unanimous decision to choose 'The Purge' as the first song off 'Majesty And Decay' to debut to the world. It is the first song on the record and we think it really sets the tone for the rest of the album.
"'The Purge' is an extremely aggressive and angry song that really has so many elements to it, and it is the perfect opening track as well because it takes the listener through some of the many moods and feelings contained within the album. It is a very extreme song in many ways and showcases all of the classic IMMOLATION elements. Lyrically, the song takes the concept we started developing on 'World Agony' and expands upon it, taking it to the next level in a very extreme way.
"We really liked the idea behind 'World Agony' and wanted to expand upon it, so when we began the process of writing lyrics for the new record while in the studio, I had the title and a loose concept for 'The Purge' and we expanded upon it.
"'The Purge' is a condemning song that takes an ugly look at mankind and forces us to open our eyes and accept responsibility for our actions. It is a very dark song with lots of emotion that I think will grab the listener right from the opening notes."
IMMOLATION's new album contains "10 songs [plus two intros] of the strongest material we have ever written," the band said in a statement. "The new material is more violent and aggressive, with fast sections that take us to a new level of speed and intensity, while complementing the dark and sullen heavier moments. There are plenty of miserable and militant movements to please the diehard and new IMMOLATION fans alike."
"Majesty And Decay" track listing:
01. Intro
02. The Purge
03. A Token Of Malice
04. Majesty And Decay
05. Divine Code
06. In Human Form
07. A Glorious Epoch

TARJA TURUNEN Preparing To Enter Studio
 Former NIGHTWISH singer Tarja Turunen will enter the studio in early February to begin recording her new solo album, "What Lies Beneath". She writes on her web site, "In these last couple of weeks I have been daily preparing the production, schedules, arrangements for the songs and for the album itself.
"It feels great to be able to start the recordings very soon, since I have been waiting for the moment already for a long time. I am truly excited to witness how all will unfold!
"The process for my second album started back in June 2008. Among the first songs that my friends and I composed at that time, a character called Naiad was born. The fantasy story of Naiad gave me the idea for the album title and for the whole album concept: 'What Lies Beneath'.
"The last touches for the music, last lines of lyrics and arrangements for the songs need to be done now before getting into the studio.
"I have chosen the musicians for each song, the recording and mixing engineers and some the studios where the album will come alive.
"We are also starting to organize the artwork and photos for the album.
"It has been wonderful to be able to brainstorm again and decide the direction the album is going to take. I hope that you will be surprised again by my work; because that's the way I like it.
"The recordings of the drums will begin on February 4th. I will be in touch with you daily from the studio, so you will have a chance to read, see and maybe also hear what is happening there."
Turunen recently recorded three songs for a Finnish Christmas album, produced by Olli Ahvenlahti. According to Turunen, this was "a charity project for missionary workers in Finland."
Tarja's last album, "My Winter Storm", was re-released in January 2009. This double CD "extended special edition" was packed with 32 tracks, including the CD "My Winter Storm" with the addition of the song "The Seer" in its original version. The bonus disc presented several new tracks, remixes and live recordings. Among them, the new song "Enough" and "The Seer", this time featuring a duet with German rock star Doro Pesch.

HATEFORM Begins Recording New Album
 Finnish death/thrash metallers HATEFORM have issued the following update:
"A couple of years of playing gigs, little lineup changes and other shit hitting the fan, and again it's time for a new HATEFORM album to emerge.
"The recordings for the upcoming album just started at the Ansa studio and the release date is set for spring 2010. The new guy behind the drums, Tuomo Latvala [TORTURE KILLER, DEMIGOD], already took charge and blasted in some amazing drum work.
"This far the album consists of such working titles as 'Flight Attendants Biological Clock' and 'RailCripple'. The ten tracks will be laid down on an open schedule this time, as the extra stress set by a tight deadline doesn't seem to help in getting the best result. Although the idea is to get the album done before the summer.
"The papers have been written with 7:45 Records once again and the co-operation will continue from where we left off last time, which happened to be the Newcomer of the Year 2008 award at the Finnish Metal Expo last year."

 Swedish melodic rockers M.ILL.ION will enter the studio in February to begin recording their next album, tentatively due before the end of the year via Metal Heaven in Europe. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Test Of Time", "Everyday Hero", "Sane And Insanity" and "I Raise My Glass".
Commented the band: "Songwriting has been going really well. The new lineup — with Angelo Modafferi on keys and Andreas Grövle on guitar — rocks big time! The energy and genuine band vibe is there and it's smiles all around. We're all very excited and intend to deliver one mother of an album!" | 0 | |
