The mysterious and aesthetic ring of the name fits our name even more perfectly than AVALANCHE, and we hope that you will like it too! All current AMARANTHE activities will remain unaffected by this, and you can expect to hear news about the upcoming album very soon!"
AMARANTHE recently posted video footage from the pre-production sessions for the band's debut album. The four-minute clip below features the creation of the brand new AMARANTHE song "Hunger".

DROWNING POOL: \'Shame\' Video Available
 "Shame", the new video from DROWNING POOL, is available for vieweing below. The song comes off the band's 2007 album, "Full Circle".
After two years of supporting "Full Circle", DROWNING POOL will take part in the highly anticipated Crüe Fest 2 tour which stars MÖTLEY CRÜE and features additional support from GODSMACK, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and introduces CHARM CITY DEVILS. DROWNING POOL will take a break from the studio where they are recording their next studio album in Dallas.
DROWNING POOL — Ryan McCombs (vocals), CJ Pierce (guitar), Stevie Benton (bass) and Mike Luce (drums) — has overcome its fair share of adversity: tragedy, internal struggles, leaving their major record label and multiple incidents of theft over the last few years.
Says DROWNING POOL guitarist C.J. Pierce, "We have been through the ups and downs of this business, but stayed true to our goal of bringing kick-ass rock music to our fans around the world. We’ve never given up when we felt down for the count. Now we have Crüe Fest 2 and we are grateful for the opportunity to reach a new audience. It’s pretty unbelievable where are right now."
Eleven Seven Music President Nikki Sixx (of MÖTLEY CRÜE) remarks, "DROWNING POOL is one of the best survival stories in rock right now. For a band to be on its third album, with their third lead singer and finally reaching the Top 10 with their third single from an album released almost two years ago, is a remarkable feat. I'm excited that DROWNING POOL will have the opportunity to play in front of hundreds of thousands of dedicated rock fans across America as part of Crüe Fest 2 tour this summer."

WARBRINGER: \'Severed Reality\' Video Released
 "Severed Reality", the new video from Los Angeles thrashers WARBRINGER, can be viewed below. The clip was filmed on February 22 at The Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin by Dave Brodsky (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, SUICIDE SILENCE) during WARBRINGER's tour with DARKANE and SOILWORK.
Commented vocalist John Kevill: "The video for 'Severed Reality' got done in the middle of a tour, and it was done mostly live at the venue we were playing at that night in Milwaukee. We did a couple shots on the stage before anyone showed up, and then just shot the whole show for the video. As it turns out, the show was fucking insane, we couldn't even fit all the stage divers in the video! David Brodsky went to put the whole thing together and it came out great; I think it is the strongest video we have had so far."
WARBRINGER's sophomore album, "Waking Into Nightmares", is scheduled for release on May 19 via Century Media Records. The CD was mixed by Zack Ohren (SUFFOCATION, ALL SHALL PERISH) and the cover artwork was created by esteemed artist Dan Seagrave (MORBID ANGEL, ENTOMBED).  | 0 |  |

Student Shoots Himself In Head After Ordering Teacher To Praise MARILYN MANSON
 Raymond Legendre of DailyComet.com reports that a 15-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in the Lafourche Parish of Louisiana shot himself in the head on school grounds this morning (Monday, May 18), moments after firing an errant shot at a teacher who refused his order to praise Marilyn Manson.
The eighth-grade student, who is in critical condition at Terrebonne General Medical Center, left behind a suicide note in which he detailed how he planned to kill others and then himself, Sheriff Craig Webre said.
Classmates of the gunman, who they identified as Justin Doucet, said they were surprised by his actions, but noted they found his love for Marilyn Manson and knowledge of Adolf Hitler facts to be odd.

With this record, I just put all the raw emotions I've kept to myself and let them bleed out into the music."  | 0 |  |

ASPERA Completes Work On Debut Album
 Norwegian melodic metal band ASPERA has completed work on its debut album, "Ripples", due later in the year via an as-yet-undetermined record label. 10 solid songs will be released on the CD once a suitable record/publishing deal has been finalized. The tracks were mixed at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden by Jens Bogren, who is well known for his work with OPETH, SYMPHONY X, HAMMERFALL, AMON AMARTH and PARADISE LOST. Vocalist Atle Pettersen comments: "We are very satisfied with our first album and are lucky enough to have a number of options with interest from labels and publishers. To put the first album out is still a huge and important decision for a new band, even in this digitalized age. So we want to make sure we do it right first time!"
The five aspiring young musicians from Skien are already starting to compete with more established bands in the international metal scene. Under the name ILLUSION, ASPERA previously released three self-recorded EPs and has 40+ live shows under its belt. But being just 19 years old, the bandmembers have not only a long and healthy future ahead of them but also a talent and creativity which belies their relative youth. On "Ripples", they deliver to a consistently high standard, and in Atle Pettersen, the band has a frontman with an outstanding and very unique voice.
Catch ASPERA live on May 29, supporting PAGAN'S MIND in Kristiansand, Norway. ASPERA will also play at the annual festival Sluserock in Lunde, Telemark on June 6.
ASPERA is:
Robin Ognedal - Guitar
Nickolas Pettersen - Keyboards
Joachim Strøm - Drums
Atle Pettersen - Vocals
Rein Blomquist - Bass  | 0 |  |

Commented VADER guitarist/vocalist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek: "Monday, May 18 is the day when the new album, 'Necropolis', was finished!!!

Next days are Tue Madsen's solitary work in silence of his studio. The result is tremendous!!! New songs sound powerful and still mysterious. The cover art (created by Jacek Wisniewski, who created the art for previous VADER albums 'Black To The Blind', 'Revelations' and 'The Beast') being so much different than previous works is so magical as well. The whole graphics fulfill the music on the album.

There are two bonus tracks on special edition, which are classics in metal, also big part of HQ footage from VADER charity show in Krakow, which was our help for Covan (DECAPITATED singer Adrian Kowanek, who was seriously injured on November 2, 2007 in a Russian road collision) and his recovery after serious car accident."

Former SOILWORK Drummer Arrested For Carrying Hunting Knife In Public Place
 Former SOILWORK and current 5TH SONIC BRIGADE drummer Henry Ranta was stopped by the Swedish police this past weekend after driving too fast. Since Ranta didn't have a driver's license, the police searched the car and found a huge hunting knife. In Sweden, carrying knives that can be used as weapons in public places is illegal and if prosecuted and convicted, Ranta faces up to a month in prison.
"What can I say? What happened happened! I just laugh at it," Ranta says of the incident.
5TH SONIC BRIGADE, which also features Marcus Öhrn (NOICE), Richard Evenlind (ex-CRISS '99) and Peter Samuelsson (ex-NIFTERS), just kicked off its first summer tour of Sweden and plays in Kristianstad on Wednesday.

MEGADETH Completes Recording New Album
 MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has issued the following studio update:
"I'm at the studio right now, Vic's Garage, and we are done! We're just right now finishing the last couple of notes on the new record, and Andy getting ready to pack his bags and head up to Los Angeles tomorrow to get ready to fly back home on Thursday. Man, this has been a long, grueling, enduring process but it's been so worth it, and I'm so excited. I'm more excited about this record then I've been in any record since back in the 1980s. I would say, probably since, well definitely since 'Rust In Peace' there's nothing that's excited me this much — maybe 'Countdown' ['To Extinction'], but this is just absolutely insane."
