NILE: New Song Available For Streaming
 The reigning kings of technical, historically-themed brutality NILE have released the first taste of their latest state-of-the-death-metal-art release, "Those Whom the Gods Detest". Produced and mixed by Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, QUEENSRŸCHE), along with a stellar drum-recording job by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, VITAL REMAINS, GOATWHORE), the CD features the band's strongest production and perhaps its best material to date. The cover artwork was created by Michal "Xaay" Loranc, whom NILE guitarist/vocalist Karl Sanders had previously worked with on his second solo album, "Saurian Exorcisms".
"Those Whom the Gods Detest" ( cover) track listing:
01. Kafir!
02. Hittite Dung Incantation
03. Utterances of the Crawling Dead
04. Those Whom the Gods Detest
05. 4th Arra of Dagon
06. Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld
07. Yezd Desert Ghul Ritual in the Abandoned Towers of Silence
08. Kem Khefa Kheshef
09. The Eye of Ra
10. Iskander D'hul Karnon
The song "Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld" is now available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.
Sanders told Revolver magazine earlier in the year that the band's sixth full-length album will likely be NILE's most eclectic offering to date. "We're going to some very unexpected places," he said. "I've been listening to some oud music [the oud is a Middle Eastern lute — Ed.], Iranian music, and some Hindu stuff, and that stuff's definitely rubbing off on the new songs."
"Those Whom the Gods Detest" is scheduled for a November 3 North American release via Nuclear Blast Records.

SUSPERIA: \'Character Flaw\' Video Released
 "Character Flaw", the new video from Norwegian metallers SUSPERIA, can be viewed here. The Daniel William Bones-directed performance clip continues the band's use of apocalyptic imagery as featured on its latest album, "Attitude". Shot in June, the video celebrates the return to action of vocalist Athera (real name: Pål Mathiesen), who was sidelined earlier this year following a near-fatal heart attack that stemmed from a previously undiagnosed heart defect.
"Attitude" was released in May through Candlelight Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Cut From Stone" was recorded in Norway and was mixed at Studio Fredman in Sweden. It features guest appearances by Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT) and Shagrath (DIMMU BORGIR).
An e-card for "Attitude" can be accessed at this location.
SUSPERIA enlisted Bernt Fjellestad from fellow Norwegian band GUARDIANS OF TIME to stand in for Athera for the group's spring 2009 U.K. tour.

LINKIN PARK\'s MIKE SHINODA Talks Next Album
 Billboard.com has uploaded a new video interview with LINKIN PARK's Mike Shinoda in which he reveals that the band's follow up to 2007 No. 1 album "Minutes To Midnight" is underway now that the album by DEAD BY SUNRISE, singer Chester Bennington's side project, is finished and nearing its Oct. 13 release.
"We mentally want to get back to [2000's 'Hybrid Theory'] not because we want to sound like [that], because I don't think we do," Shinoda says of the forthcoming LINKIN PARK album, which they aim to release in the first half of 2010. "But we want to make this record a record with identity, hopefully not one you've heard before. One you can listen to and say, 'That's brand new... It's definitely LINKIN PARK, but it's definitely different.'"

MORTIIS Discusses Forthcoming Album
 FEARnet recently conducted an interview with Norwegian artist Mortiis (real name: Håvard Ellefsen). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
FEARnet: You've been performing "unmasked" for a while now. What was your main reason for shedding that image?
Mortiis: There was a variety of reasons really, but the main reason, was the music simply outgrowing the mask image. I mean initially the mask was created to lend more credibility (or something like that, anyway) to the Mortiis concept. Back in those days, Mortiis was based thematically on this dark and twisted parallel universe. It was pretty cool, and I did several records based around that. But time goes on, and people change, as did I. Eventually Mortiis, thematically, was a whole different thing, more introverted, more angsty and angry... it became a band, and the mask suddenly wasn't really emphasizing anything, and it started feeling like something I was only doing to keep the kids happy. So I eventually figured "fuck it, I'm done with the mask," but I wanted to do it in a cool way and not cold turkey, overnight, you know? Around the time when "The Grudge" was coming out, I came up with the idea of having the mask slowly morph off in the artwork on "The Grudge" and the singles released around it. I also started performing with the mask looking like it had been stitched on, in order to show some of the humanity underneath... eventually I started pulling the mask off during shows. After that, it's history.
FEARnet: Has your on-stage persona changed in any other ways?
Mortiis: I don't really think so, at least not in a major way. I mean towards the end of the mask period, we started developing our stage presence, the aggression that seemed to saturate the band during live performances. That's still there and keeps getting angrier, it feels like... I actually feel somewhat more liberated. I think anyone that has worn face prosthetics would agree when I say it's not the most flexible or comfortable thing to be wearing. It kind of prevents you from moving your mouth and face. So obviously with the mask off, it's easier to just get into the music and what's going on onstage even more. I don't know if anyone else did this for this long... maybe someone in a multi-season series or something did it, I don't know... but I did this for years. It got pretty straining towards the end.
FEARnet: So what can we expect from "The Great Deceiver"? From what I've heard you're going even heavier with this one.
Mortiis: Yeah, in a sense it is heavier. If nothing else, a lot more focused. Where "The Grudge" was in many ways a virgin experiment — on a lot of levels, resulting in sometimes chaotic and dense music — "The Great Deceiver" is more mature, in the sense that the noise, the anger, etc. is more musically focused; it's all pulling in the same direction. Like, it has one pulse, and not ten the way "The Grudge" sometimes had, if that makes sense. It just pulses and moves along as a solid entity. It's very compact and big-sounding most of the time, occasionally breaking into this ominous sounding soundscape. It's probably more guitar-heavy than before, but it's a far cry from an ordinary "metal record." We use guitars as a part of the sound; a lot of times the guitars are super-processed post-recording, other times they're guitars... whatever the song demands, or whatever we come up with after experimenting.
FEARnet: Is it true that industrial icons Chris Vrenna and Rhys Fulber are associated with this project? If so, in what way are they involved?
Mortiis: Chris and I knew each other from being in touch earlier about him possibly doing a remix for the "Some Kind of Heroin" remix album we did, that didn't happen because the budget (courtesy of our previous record label) was very restrictive, and I believe he was pretty busy anyway. But we remained in touch and would hook up whenever he was in Norway playing with GNARLS BARKLEY or MANSON. I remember I just asked him once whether maybe he'd like to mix the record with us, because we'd just finished recording it. We eventually made it over to L.A., where we were doing the videos and also started mixing the music at his house. We were supposed to do it all with him, but unfortunately he was unable to finish more than five songs due to bigger commitments, like the new MANSON record he was also working on at the same time. Regardless, though, we were super happy with the five songs he did, and I really believe we picked out the five songs that fit him the best, so it's all good. Rhys got involved actually in a similar way: I wanted him to do a remix for "Heroin" but for the same reason as Chris it didn't happen. We were actually talking about Rhys producing the whole thing; however, that never happened. Rhys is a great guy — we met up at one occasion, really early on, during that DANZIG tour we did, and had a great time, but somehow nothing ever came out of it. We spent forever re-recording everything and creating a ton of new music, and he got involved in other projects in the meantime, so Rhys isn't involved on this record, but hopefully we'll get to do something together at some point.

MEGADETH\'s MUSTAINE Says \'Endgame\' Is Better Than METALLICA\'s \'Death Magnetic\'
 Kevin "Taz" Conklin of "The Big Dumb Radio Show" (web site) — which airs on Kalamazoo, Michigan's 92.5 WZUU FM radio station — conducted an interview with MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine earlier this week. The chat is now available for streaming in two parts below. A couple of excerpts from the interview follow.
On how "Endgame" has been received thus far:
Mustaine: "The record is a complete smash success right now for us. Even web sites that are notorious for hating MEGADETH, like Blabbermouth, we got an 8.5 out of 10 there. I mean, go figure. And they even said something that was kind towards me, saying, 'Well, maybe it's time for us to take a lesson from Professor Dave.' And I'm thinking, 'Huh?!' I guess hell must be frozen. [laughs] And I just heard that there's a magazine — a very high-ranking, established institution... magazine in the U.K., one of the guys there said that MEGADETH is better than METALLICA. And I was like, 'Oh, my God. The next thing you know I'm gonna wake up and I'm gonna be 16 again and I'll have somebody really hot and young laying in my bed.'"
On whether it gets annoying being asked about METALLICA all the time:
Mustaine: "Nah, it depends on what they're talking about. If it's the 'he-said-she-said' stuff, that's not OK, because they weren't there. But if it's stuff like talking about anything that was to happen, currently or in the future, it's total speculation and it's up in the air. I really don't like talking about it, because I have a new record out and I've heard both records [referring to METALLICA's 'Death Magnetic' and MEGADETH's 'Endgame' — Ed.], and I think mine's better. And that's not a dig at [METALLICA]; it's just how I feel. And I know that they've got a lot of records that are better than the stuff I've put out, but not all of it, and certainly not the stuff that we made together."
On whether MEGADETH has been approached to do the "Big Four" tour with METALLICA, SLAYER and ANTHRAX:
Mustaine: That's just a rumor. We found out for sure it was a rumor [last week when we were in New York City for the taping of the 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' show]. My manager met with their agent and he said there's nothing [to the rumor], so if their agent doesn't even know about it, there's nothing."

GWAR: \'Let Us Slay\' Video Released
 "Let Us Slay", the new video from GWAR, can be viewed below. The clip was shot in Richmond, Virginia by director David Brodsky (SUICIDE SILENCE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL) and his MyGoodEye crew.
Commented GWAR frontman Oderus Urungus: "'Let Us Slay' is the first video from our new epic album, 'Lust In Space', and provides actual first-hand footage of GWAR's recent travels through outer space and our cosmic struggle against that intergalactic asshole Cardinal Syn... This should put an end to any speculation that we are not really from outer space...you can really see us flying around on spaceships and shit!"
After a huge hit of crack laced with horse tranquilizer and kitty litter, the warty front-thing continued, "This is just the latest GWAR video from esteemed director David Brodsky, whom we have worked with before on the amazing 'School's Out' video. He is a very talented and effusively garrulous sort of guy, and he works for rocks! Plus I am particularly excited about the many dance moves that I executed in the course of the video...I recently studied under Christopher Walken, and after working very hard he gave me the nickname 'Twinkletoes!'"

SARAH JEZEBEL DEVA Completes Recording Solo Album, Films New Video
 British vocalist Sarah Jezebel Deva — who has toured and/or recorded with CRADLE OF FILTH, THERION, MORTIIS and ANGTORIA — is scheduled to begin mixing her solo album, "A Sign of Sublime", sometime in October.

"The aim is to have a censored AND uncensored version," says Sarah. "There is nothing too bad [about the uncensored version], but, of course, it's all about the visual content that wouldn't be suitable for younger kids as it's about the power of suggestion."

VISIONS OF ATLANTIS Parts Ways With Bassist, Prepares To Record New Album
 Austrian symphonic metallers VISIONS OF ATLANTIS have issued the following update:
"Our bassist Mike [Koren] and his girlfriend will become parents very soon and we all want to wish them the best with their little rocker. But that leads directly to some bad news: Mike will leave the band and will take a baby break from music so that he can focus on his new role as father a 100%. We all understand his decision completely and so we had a last big party last weekend where we played a little gig with a handful of invited close friends to release Mike in his baby break. If and when he will return to the band is completely unsure at the moment which is also clear and we (the whole VISIONS OF ATLANTIS family) hope that you out there will understand Mike and also wish him the best!!!"
VISIONS OF ATLANTIS will enter the studio in November to begin recording the band's fourth album for an early 2010 release. According to the group, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS' new singer, Maxi Nil, is doing "a great job" in singing the new songs during the pre-production phase and "except some very little stuff and some last guitar details, everything is recorded now."

SUICIDAL ANGELS, STEELWING Sign With NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS
 Greek old-school thrashers SUICIDAL ANGELS and Swedish metallers STEELWING (formerly SCAVENGER) have been awarded record deals with Boomer Entertainment and Nuclear Blast Records as part of a band contest launched by the Austrian management and booking company Rock The Nation.
This unique competition was presented and promoted by all leading European metal magazines, including the German, Italian, Spanish and Greek editions of Metal Hammer; Terrorizer (U.K.); Metallian (France); Scream (Norway); Rock Tribune (Belgium); Spark (Czech Republic); and the Dutch webzine LordsOfMetal.nl.
"The high interest [exceeded] all our expectations," says Rock The Nation boss Stefan Hattinger. More than 1,200 bands from all over the world participated in the contest, and hundreds of thousands of votes were counted. "It made the RTN Award a tremendous success and proves that this is what the bands have been waiting for," he adds.
The 100 bands with the most votes were judged by an "inner circle" composed of staff members from Rock The Nation, Boomer Entertainment and Nuclear Blast. In the end, there wasn't only one, but two winners!
"We are more than happy to win this contest," says SUICIDAL ANGELS vocalist and guitar player Nick. "We will do our best to reciprocate all the trust we received.
"We would like to thank Stefan and Rock The Nations, all the guys from Boomer Entertainment and Nuclear Blast for giving us this unique opportunity.
"Prepare to be thrashed, thrash till death!"
STEELWING guitarist Robby Rockbag states: "For us, it was a nice surprise and I can still hardly believe it.
"We were just about to finish recordings of our first demo, [and] all of a sudden we had a deal with the label that [is home to] so many of our favorite acts, like TESTAMENT, CANDLEMASS and HAMMERFALL. For us, it is like a dream come true and we promise a killer debut album to all you metalheads!" | 0 | |

ABSU Parts Ways With Guitarist (Again); Replacement Announced
 Texas-based mythological occult metal outfit ABSU has announced the addition of session lead guitarist Vis Crom (pronounced "Vish Krahm") to the group's ranks. He replaces Zawicizuz, who was recently dismissed due to irreconcilable differences.
Commented drummer/vocalist Proscriptor: "We are extremely thrilled to welcome Vis Crom as the newest touring musician of ABSU. He has proven to be a conquering performer and we're delighted to convey our next live chapters of mythological occult metal with him.
He continues, "I felt it was time to re-evaluate the path of the band in a live aspect.
"ABSU's expanding growth, metaphysically and musically speaking, will embark on a journey like nothing we have ever experienced before. One of the main objectives is to never create the same album twice, so one can expect a revolving lineup.
"Working with Zawicizuz for the past two years has been a prosperous experience and I have the utmost respect for him as my comrade and a superlative musician. I wish him good fortune and success in the future." | 0 | |

MARILYN MANSON Says He Was Diagnosed With \'Swine Flu\'
 Marilyn Manson has revealed his MySpace blog that he has contracted the H1N1 virus (commonly known as swine flu).
"So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU," wrote the shock rocker this past Monday (September 21). He then used the opportunity to make a dig at his ex-girlfriends.
"I know everyone will suggest that fucking a pig is how this disease was obtained," he continued. "However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have in no way contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness."
As of September, 1 million likely H1N1 infections were reported in the United States, according to the Sioux City Journal. Of those cases, 9,079 resulted in hospitalization and 593 in death.
Those who are not vaccinated have a 30 percent to 70 percent likelihood of contracting H1N1. Dr. Gregory Poland, professor of medicine and infectious diseases at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, said 25 of every 100,000 people risk hospitalization and one of every 3,000 to 10,000 people who are infected risk death.

PAUL DI\'ANNO \'The Beast\' Autobiography To Be Released On Paperback
 Former IRON MAIDEN singer Paul Di'Anno's autobiography, "The Beast: Singing With Iron Maiden - The Drugs, The Groupies... The Whole Story", will be released on paperback by John Blake Publishing Ltd. on February 1, 2010.
A description of the book reads as follows: "Paul Di'Anno is one of rock's wildest figures. Now he reveals the shocking stories of his life on the road, including the moment he kicked out his own guitarist's teeth, chasing journalists from venues, shooting out car tires with a rifle and the truth about his arrest for carrying a sub-machine gun. His tale is one of drugs, guns, alcohol; of extended periods banged up in prison and his time fronting the mighty IRON MAIDEN. His controversial antics off-stage are even more shocking than his existence under the spotlights. He has battled drug addictions and tumbled from the heights of fame to the pit of bankruptcy. This is a look into the dark and disturbing times of a man who had spent his whole life courting his demons."
In an interview with PyroMusic.net, Di'Anno stated about "The Beast", which originally came out several years ago, "Well, I thought if I am gonna write an autobiography, then I had better go for it with nothing held back. I didn't want it to be just another one of those poncy, pampering-my-ego autobiography rock books, where I would spend the whole time trying to fucking congratulate myself like so many others, so I just told it like it was. Also I was fucking sick and tired of every other fucker writing whatever they felt like writing about me, so this was a way of shutting them all up and telling them all to fuck off. After it was released, I got some mixed reactions, but generally it has worked for me as putting my life out there as it was."

STEVE HARRIS-Owned EDDIE\'S BAR Closing Down For Good
 Eddie's Bar, the Santa Barbara De Nexe, Portugal bar owned by IRON MAIDEN bassist Steve Harris, will be closing down for good at the end of this month.
The bar opened in 1989 with Manu Da Silva, a former roadie for IRON MAIDEN, as manager. After Manu's death in 2005, the bar closed and reopened in July 2006 with new managers Dave Sullivan and Terry Rance — both of whom played guitar in the first-ever IRON MAIDEN lineup — and Jeff Daniels, who was a MAIDEN roadie in the 1970s.
The bar featured many props used during past MAIDEN tours, like sarcophagi from the World Slavery Tour 1984/85, Steve Harris' bass, Nicko McBrain's cymbals and signed records, photos and posters of the band. Heavy metal videos were played during the bar's opening hours.
