TOOL Guitarist Contemplating Collaboration With KING CRIMSON Founder
 According to The Pulse of Radio, TOOL guitarist Adam Jones met with KING CRIMSON founder and guitar player Robert Fripp last month in London to discuss reactivating a collaborative album the pair began working on several years ago. Fripp revealed the news about the meeting in a post at his online diary, writing, "A fabbo lunch with Adam covering a wide range of common interests & experiencing, among which: the possibilities of continuing our album, begun in Los Angeles some 5-6 years ago; and go out speaking together."
The possibility of Jones and Fripp working together leads to the question of what — if anything — is going on with TOOL itself. Frontman Maynard James Keenan is busy with his own side project, PUSCIFER, and also has a documentary about his vineyards coming out later this month. There has been little word on a follow-up to TOOL's last effort, 2006's "10,000 Days".
Keenan admitted in a recent interview that he gets restless at tool's slower pace of doing things. "I can't sit still, so when those guys hesitate, it takes us so long to do stuff, and it's like a snake eating its own tail situation, 'cause then I get distracted and I go off and do a thing, and then I get blamed for not being around to do the (TOOL) thing," he said. "But nothing was getting done when I was standing there, so I got bored and left. It's just an endless cycle."
PUSCIFER will begin its first full-length East Coast tour on March 2 in Atlanta, with dates booked through early April.

TARJA TURUNEN - \"We Are Planning Some Crazy Stuff For The Next World Tour\"
 TARJA TURUNEN (ex-NIGHTWISH) has issued the following new blog entry from the studio:
"I slept like a baby last night. It’s so quiet here that it even feels scary at times. But it’s beautiful to work like this.
After Mike finished recording one song in the morning, we had some guests in the studio visiting us. Pete, our live sound engineer came to talk about next shows.
We are planning some crazy stuff for the next “world” tour. It’s just so fantastic to be able to decide myself the stage set up, the design of it and plan all the matters of the touring after all.
We need to start things already now, very early in advance, so that we are not running late when we need to hit the road with the new album.
Today was a magnificent day. Mike finished three songs and he is laying down damn good material.
'LL', 'DS' very heavy songs and 'U' a beautiful ballad. You didn’t think I was giving you all the song names right away, did you?
The atmosphere is calm and relaxed in the studio. I am not pushing Mike to his limits. At least I hope so.
I guess nobody likes to work like that anyway. Better your mood is, better you perform. That’s how it should be. And the question is, why try to make the impossible happen if the results sound already awesome? I don’t see any point in that. We have fun together, we do our best and that is what matters at the end of the day.
My friends from Same-Eyes Film Company are around too, shooting the whole production so that one day you’ll all see what we have been up to. Is nice to have things filmed so that we can remember everything afterwards.
Sometimes the time is running too fast and you don’t even realize what you are living through.
Today I even got to practise playing some piano parts that I am going to record in few days, so it was a very exciting day indeed.
We expect more visits for today. Let’s see…"

AEROSMITH\'s JOE PERRY: STEVEN Hasn\'t Quit The Band, Nor Have We Sacked Him
 Joe Perry has exclusively told U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine that Steven Tyler will remain a member of AEROSMITH, even though another singer is being brought in.
Commented Perry: "Steven hasn't quit the band, nor have we sacked him. We're taking the attitude that he's going on a vacation from AEROSMITH. While he's away working on other projects, the rest of us (Perry, guitarist Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton and drummer Joey Kramer) want to carry on playing live. So we will be bring another singer to make this happen.
"We're not daft enough to think we can replace Steven, and that's not our plan. But after 40 years of working together we just don't wanna stop. How long with Steven be away? He says it'll be two years, but I believe he'll be back a lot sooner. It may end up that we only do 10 shows with the new person!"

CHARON Parts Ways With Guitarist
 Finnish gothic metallers CHARON have issued the following update:
"New decade brings changes to CHARON and now it's good time to update the situation.
"There have been rumours among CHARON fans and followers about the future of the band. Playfully it could be said that CHARON was not able to escape the cold grip of ongoing recession and had to go through re-organization and layoffs.
"After taking some time out last summer, we were not able to tune our engine to the needed pace for the studio sessions.
"We had written a bunch of new songs during the last couple of years but were not able to put them on record. After a long pondering and going through different alternatives, it was inevitable that we cannot output the next album in this mood of confusion. As a consequence, guitarist Pasi Sipilä has left CHARON.
"CHARON will continue playing and writing songs as a quartet. At the moment we are looking forward to new working methods and finding new ways to surprise our fans and to challenge bandmates with no boundaries on style or sound.
"We would like to thank Pasi for all his work for CHARON during the years and wish him good luck with music!
"We were glad to notice on our November gig that fans still believe in our work. It really kicks us forward and gives us a reason to continue. Hopefully we will meet again soon!
"CHARON will be entering the studio in March to record couple of new songs. Brand-new track will be released in March at our website in free Internet dowload!"

THE WRETCHED END Continuing Work On Debut Album
 THE WRETCHED END, the new Norway-based band featuring guitarist Samoth (EMPEROR, ZYKLON) and bassist Cosmo (MINDGRINDER) alongside Swedish drummer Nils Fjellström (DARK FUNERAL, IN BATTLE, AEON), recently entered the studio to begin recording its as-yet-untitled debut album for a 2010 release. The group states, "Cosmo finished the bass tracks last week. Now we're finishing up lyrics and working on vocal arrangements. Cosmo will be handling the vocals.
"The pre-production arrangements sounds very good.
"We'll be back at Stand Studio [in Oslo, Norway] soon to finalize the recordings."
Songtitles set to appear on the THE WRETCHED END CD include:
* Zoo Human Syndrome
* Red Forest Alienation
* Residing in Limbo
* The Human Corporation
* Numbered Days
* Of Men and Wolves
* The Juggernaut Theory
* Last Judgement
According to a press release, THE WRETCHED END's music "can best be described as 'deathrash,' taking elements from both death metal and thrash metal. Many of the songs are quite groove-orientated, and also offer a melodic side. Influences range from the flavors of old-school as well as a more modern death/thrash metal sound."
THE WRETCHED END was formed in 2008 as creative collaboration between Samoth and Cosmo, who previously worked together on the infamous death-punk project SCUM. Cosmo also played with ZYKLON as a bass player when ZYKLON toured Europe as special guest for MORBID ANGEL in 2001. The two have long spoken about collaborating on an extreme metal project. Throughout 2008 most of the material for the debut album was composed and by spring 2009 a full pre-production demo consisting of 11 tracks was recorded.
The drums for THE WRETCHED END album were recorded this past September at the Strand Studio in Oslo, Norway. | 0 | |
