It\'s Official - Anniversary Reissue Of DEEP PURPLE\'s Come Taste The Band In The Works
 According to DEEP PURPLE fan-site The Highway Star, GLENN HUGHES (ex-DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) has broken the news on Twitter that he’s been indeed working with producer Kevin Shirley (LED ZEPPELIN, IRON MAIDEN), and they are working on the remixes for the reissue of Deep Purple's 1975 album Come Taste The Band. Still a work in progress, songs that have received the treatment so far include 'You Keep On Moving', 'Gettin’ Tighter', 'Dealer' and 'I Need Love'.
According to Wikipedia, Come Taste The Band was recorded between August 3 and September 1, 1975 at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, and released in October 1975. The album was co-produced and engineered by the band and longtime associate Martin Birch (IRON MAIDEN). It is the only Deep Purple studio record featuring Tommy Bolin, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar. When Blackmore left the band, many observers and critics assumed that Deep Purple would not continue. It was David Coverdale who asked Jon Lord to keep the band together, and Tommy Bolin was asked to take the guitar slot.
The band was rounded off by bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes, keyboardist Jon Lord and drummer Ian Paice.
Kevin Shirley has commented on his Caveman's Diary:
"Just finishing a remix of the Deep Purple album, Come Taste The Band. What a trip!! It's been such fun - started off with 'The Drifter' and didn't want to stray too much from the originals, but by the end I'm pushing it, and there are some different bits and pieces all over - I'm diggin' it. Sent the mixes to both David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, who also came up to my studio, The Cave, for a day - Coverdale: 'Kick arse. KS...a veritable sonic treat...' Glenn Hughes: 'Yeah baby!...sounds great...Drums are way better...sounds more cohesive...two thumbs up...' I was a Deep Purple fan before I was a Zeppelin fan." | 0 | |

DEMON HUNTER To Release \'The World Is A Thorn\' In March
 Seattle-based Christian metallers DEMON HUNTER will release their new album, "The World Is A Thorn", on March 9. The band's fifth album follows the landmark documentary "45 Days", last year's "Live In Nashville" collection and a catalog of landmark releases that have made the band one of the most important in the genre.
"The World Is A Thorn" was produced by the band's longtime collaborator Aaron Sprinkle (ACCEPTANCE, ANBERLIN, THE ALMOST) and mixed by powerhouse producer Jason Suecof (ALL THAT REMAINS, TRIVIUM). It's a pairing emblematic of how skillfully DEMON HUNTER has always blended metallic might with melody.
It's a well-worn cliche these days for a band to say their new album is "our heaviest but also our most melodic," but DEMON HUNTER delivers in spades with this release. Songs like "Descending Upon Us", "Lifewar" and the title track are by far the most aggressive of the band's career; "This is the Line" and "Collapsing" are a couple of the fist-pumping but still hard-driving anthems; and "Driving Nails" is one of two ballads on the album the likes of which their fans have come to both expect and cherish.
The album formally introduces guitarists Patrick Judge (who joined the band as a touring guitarist in 2008 and is now a full-time member) and Ryan Helm (of THE ASCENDICATE) with a new batch of songs written by co-founder and vocalist Ryan Clark. Yogi Watts returns with another jaw-dropping drum performance, backed up by longtime bass player Jonathan Dunn.
"The World Is A Thorn" is a definitive mission statement from a band at a creative apex, firing on all cylinders with awe-inspiring intensity.
"The album title refers to the often harmful and destructive world that we live in," explains Clark. "Most of the songs deal with the current state of the nation and the world as a whole. In particular, the lyrics take aim at the ideals of a Godless people and the depletion of our morals and values."
DEMON HUNTER has always been a Christian band and has represented their point of view strongly, despite the larger trend of watered down philosophies that straddle the line for popularity's sake. This stance has won them respect from fellow believers and opposite points of view alike.
"In this age it has seemingly become more and more detestable to be a Christian," Clark elaborates. "Our opinions on social and political issues are no longer tolerated as valid and we are commonly viewed as the enemy. Subjective truth, self-love, unrestricted perversion, the destruction of morality: these are the things that have ultimately brought us to a place of depression and madness.
"This album is the antithesis of the modern way of life." | 0 | |

JIMMY PAGE Hails Royal Mail\'s Rock And Roll Stamp Collection
 According to NME.com, LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page has hailed a new range of Royal Mail stamps featuring classic British album covers.
The set of ten stamps, which enter circulation tomorrow (January 7), features iconic album covers including LED ZEPPELIN's untitled fourth album (1971), PINK FLOYD's "The Division Bell" (1994) and THE CLASH's "London Calling" (1979).
Speaking at the launch of the stamps at London's Rough Trade West, Page revealed the irony behind LED ZEPPELIN's iconic "IV" album cover.
"Almost 40 years after the album came out, nobody knows the old man who featured on the cover, nor the artist who painted him," he said. "That sort of sums up what we wanted to achieve with the album cover, which has remained both anonymous and enigmatic at the same time."
Here is the full list of albums that will be featured on the stamps:
* THE ROLLING STONES' "Let It Bleed" (1969)
* LED ZEPPELIN's untitled fourth album (1971)
* DAVID BOWIE's "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" (1972)
* MIKE OLDFIELD's "Tubular Bells" (1973)
* THE CLASH's "London Calling" (1979)
* NEW ORDER's "Power, Corruption and Lies" (1983)
* PRIMAL SCREAM's "Screamdelica" (1991)
* PINK FLOYD's "The Division Bell" (1994)
* BLUR's "Parklife" (1994)
* COLDPLAY's "A Rush of Blood to the Head" (2002) | 0 | |

 TORTURE DIVISION, the Swedish death metal project featuring guitarist Lord K. Philipson (THE PROJECT HATE, GOD AMONG INSECTS, ex-LEUKEMIA), bassist/vocalist Jörgen Sandström (VICIOUS ART, THE PROJECT HATE, ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE) and drummer Tobias "Tobben" Gustafsson (VOMITORY), will enter the studio in late January to begin laying down the drums for the second part of the band's second demo trilogy, "Evighetens Dårar". The group states, "You shouldn't expect the next demo anytime soon. But at least you know that we are moving forward at last."
"Evighetens Dårar I" was released in August and it featured the songs "Heretics! Now!", "Eld Och Plågor" and "Traumatic Inhuman Severance". The demo was once again mixed by Dan Swanö (EDGE OF SANITY, NIGHTINGALE, BLOODBATH). For one of the songs, TORTURE DIVISION invited its fans to send in a recording of them screaming the word "HAIL!", with and every one of the few hundred contributions making it into the song.
TORTURE DIVISION's first demo trilogy — which was previously available for free download via the band's web site — was released on vinyl on April 6, 2009 via Vic Records.

SUPREME PAIN Parts Ways With Bassist, Announces Replacement
 Dutch brutal death metallers SUPREME PAIN, who feature in their ranks members of SINISTER, CONSOLATION, PUTREFIED and FONDLECORPSE, have parted ways with bassist Tadej Cholewa and have replaced him with Alesa Sare (ROOTA BALOOTA, SARCASM).
Commented the band: "Tadej Cholewa could not combine his work with playing in SUPREME PAIN anymore. The fact that he also lives in Slovenia and that he has to travel to Netherlands for gigs was in the end to much to combine with his job.
"We had a good time with Tadej, he is a cool guy and a great bassplayer and did a good job on the 'Nemesis Enforcer' CD. So we wish him all the best in the future.
"So we had to get a new bassplayer and the best choice was Alesa. She already played a few gigs as stand in for Tadej and she did a superb job. And our last gig as headliner at the Ear Terror Fest in Emden was a killer so we asked her if she wanted to be part of the SUPREME PAIN family of brutallity as a full member." | 0 | |

VOTUM To Release \'Metafiction\' In March
 Polish progressive rock/metal band VOTUM will release its sophomore album, "Metafiction", in March via Mystic Production. The follow-up to "Time Must Have A Stop" (ProgRock) is once again a concept effort, consisting of seven dark/atmospheric/progressive compositions. The CD was recorded, mixed and mastered between July and October at Izabelin Studio in Warsaw, where most chart-topping artists of the Polish music industry recorded their albums. The cover artwork was designed by the Mindfield group.
Commented the band: "This album is filled with charming melodies and real emotions. We also did our best not to hide away more aggressive approach known from 'Time Must Have A Stop'. We tried to create music that infiltrates mind, and gives you shivers down the spine — music that is both dark and uneasy, cold and enchanting.
"We hope that fans of atmospheric music with rock/metal inclinations will find on 'Metafiction' what they like most."
"Metafiction" track listing:
01. Falling Dream
02. Glassy Essence
03. Home
04. Faces

ZYKLON Calls It Quits
 After taking an offical break over two years ago, it has now become reality that Norwegian extreme metal act ZYKLON is no longer a functional band, and thus the decision was made to formaly split up the group instead of just letting it decend into nothingness.
As a final release from the band, Candlelight Records will later this year put out a ZYKLON box set, entitled "The Storm Manifesto", featuring all three of the group's full-length albums plus bonus material.
ZYKLON played its final show in Tokyo, Japan on September 28, 2007.
All members of ZYKLON are still active on various fronts. Guitarist Samoth is currently in the studio working on the debut album for his new project, THE WRETCHED END. Fellow axeman Destructhor is still touring with MORBID ANGEL, and is still planning to complete a new MYRKSKOG album with bassist/vocalist Secthdamon. Drummer Trym is mainly working in his tattoo shop, but is scheduled to appear in a new music project soon.
ZYKLON's third album, "Disintegrate", was released in 2006 via Candlelight Records. The CD was recorded at Akkerhaugen Lydstudio in Norway and was mixed at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Legendary Actor CHRISTOPHER LEE To Release \'Symphonic Metal\' Album
 Legendary actor Christopher Lee, who has appeared in such cinematic milestones as "Lord Of The Rings", "Star Wars", "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Dracula", will release "Charlemagne", a concept album with original words and symphonic metal music, on March 15, 2010.
Composer Marco Sabiu, best known for his collaborations with Kylie Minogue, TAKE THAT, Pavarotti and Morricone, has created a truly epic canvas by introducing modern metal symphonies, in a style which resembles a movie score. Marie-Claire Calvet, a graduate from Bristol University, transports the listener into "The Dark Ages", with a very powerful storyline and mesmerizing lyrics.
