BORN OF OSIRIS: New Song Available For Streaming
 Chicago-based progressive metal hybrid BORN OF OSIRIS will release its new album, "A Higher Place", on July 7 to coincide with the band's second appearance on The Summer Slaughter Tour. The CD was recorded at Planet Z in in Hadley, Massachusetts with producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris, who has previously worked with HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL, WHITECHAPEL and THE ACACIA STRAIN, among others. Guitarist Lee McKinney commented, "The songs are a much more mature evolution of what we were doing before; with the new album, you can expect longer, more developed material. For the fans who feel like they've been waiting for a long time or feel like they're in the dark on it, it's all for the better. I don't feel that 'A Higher Place' is really what most people are expecting; it will be so much more. This is the best material we've written so far and we're very proud of it."
A new BORN OF OSIRIS track entitled "Now Arise" is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

DRAGONFORCE: Latin American Tour Postoned
 British extreme epic power metallers DRAGONFORCE have been forced to postpone their debut tour of Latin America due the swine flu pandemic.

"Work has already started on rescheduling the shows so any fans who bought tickets should keep them as they will be valid for the new dates. Watch out for announcements in the media or online as we will be playing there in the near future, for sure!"

FAITH NO MORE: New \'Rehearsal Video\' Posted Online
 Reunited '90s alt-metal act FAITH NO MORE has posted a short video clip from the band's current rehearsal sessions. Watch the footage here.
FAITH NO MORE will release "The Very Best Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection" on June 8 in the U.K. via Rhino Records.
This double disc set contains the band's greatest hits on the first CD, while the second CD will feature b-sides and rarities.
FAITH NO MORE rehearsed on March 4, 2009 for the first time in over 10 years, according to a Twitter update by the group's bassist, Billy Gould.
So far, no North American appearances are on the radar, but according to Gould, "U.S. shows are not out of the question."
As speculated, original guitarist Jim Martin will not be part of the reunion. Performing in his place will be Jon Hudson, who played with FAITH NO MORE during the latter stages of its initial run after Martin departed.
The rest of the band's best-known lineup — singer Mike Patton, Gould, drummer Mike "Puffy" Bordin and keyboardist Roddy Bottum — will be intact.

RICARDO BOCCI RELEASES THE SINGLE \"MY WAY\"
 If you like the work of the singer of the band Viper, here is hot news: RICARDO BOCCI starts his solo career, in a masterwork project, with the release of "My Way", a single available for free download counting with the collaboration of excellent musicians. Among them, the drummer from the land of the rising sun, YUICHI NAGOSHI, whom Ricardo met through the internet. "Yuichi recorded the drums in Japan and sent my by the internet. I was amazed by his technique and compromising with the project."
Turning places at the virtuous solos and bases DEMIAN TIGUEZ (SYMBOLS, CEREMONYA) and IAN LUCENA "BEMOLATOR" (HARLLEQUIN) shows all their talent with the guitars. In charge of the bass was the fast and precise FERNANDO GIOVANETTI (AQUARIA, GLORY OPERA, ZYON VEGA).
With an excellent production, mixing was made by the experienced ROY Z (BRUCE DICKINSON, ROB HALFORD, ANDRÉ MATOS). Bocci explains: "Since 2004 I thought Roy Z was the right person to produce "All My Life" (VIPER) but unfortunately we don´t had how to meet him. After André Matos produced the disc "Time to be Free" at the same studio we had recorded, I had the opportunity to meet him: a person with a very good humor, without mention his enormous competence as a guitarist, composer and producer. So, after VIPER´s decision to temporarily stop the activities, I resumed the composition and contacted Roy Z for the production of this single. I was able to proof that I was right about insisting in doing a production with him. The result could not be better!". The voice recordings, strings and keyboards were made in S?o Paulo with ALEXANDRE CALVANESE (EROTIC JULIET).
The mastering was made by MAOR APPELBOWN (ROB HALFORD, FIGHT, MALMSTEEN, REMOVE SILENCE ). Maor has so much experience with bands production and it is not by chance that he was indicated by Roy Z. This is the final stage of the production of a song and many times it is fundamental to the good result of a work. Maor is a very competent professional and I became very proud with the sound treatment. He knew how to balance the frequencies in a way that is sounded crystalline, definite and heavy. Quality that for many would be impossible to be matched together".
The project counted with the special participation of MARK BOALS (MALMSTEEN, ROYAL HUNT). "When Roy Z talked about the possibility of Mark Boals doing a participation, I though it would be great. He is a very talented singer, and besides his discs with Malmsteen, he worked with many other first line musicians. His voice is an influence to all the singers I met. His presence made all the difference!"
RICARDO BOCCI became known by his work with VIPER in the disc "All My Life" (2007), released in Asia and South America, marking the return of VIPER to the heavy metal, and pleasing fans and critics also for his interpretations of the band´s classic songs.
The release date is May 11th. To download the single, just sign up his newsletter in his official website www.ricardobocci.com  | 0 |  |

EDGUY Frontman Hard At Work On New AVANTASIA Album
 EDGUY frontman Tobias Sammet is currently working on material for the next album from his AVANTASIA project. He writes on his official web site, "This is not a rock and roll, home-studio project; we'll work with a choir, with a symphony orchestra and — no matter if the music industry goes down the toilet — I'll spend a fortune on creating the whole thing. So I'll take all the time I need, and it won't see the light of day until I am completely satisfied. Some who know my plans said that it's unreasonable to spend one's savings on creating a piece of music these days as the music industry is going through hard times. Absolutely right! But do you consider it extremely reasonable to shoot a man into space? It's unreasonable to spend money for whatever; life itself is unreasonable, because — believe it or not — in the end it's quite often pretty lethal. I am rather unreasonable and therefore unsad."
