THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT - posted demo track: "This is a blueprint for the new album"

The Monolith Deathcult posted the following newsfact on their homepage:

Well shoot, there's actually news.
On our MyGayCom http://www.myspace.com/themonolithdeathcult there's a rough, rough track of a new song we're currently performing live. Dubbed "The Androgynous Ones", this is a blueprint for the new album.
Feel free to post comments on the song and add us as a friend! Note that this is a really quick and rough home production, fake drums, one vocalist, etc. You know, the kind of stuff major labels will want to 're-release' as bonus tracks about 10 years from now.


"That was it?"

Yes. Here endeth the sermon. Exit ye.

ICED EARTH - info revealed on "Alive in Athens" DVD: "only three of the 31 live songs were absent"


Century Media Records unveils footage of legendary ICED EARTH “Alive In Athens” show from 1999

With ICED EARTH, Jon Schaffer created one of the most successful Power Metal bands ever. One of those reasons for their success is that ICED EARTH were always renowned as being one of the best live bands ever. Their first and only live album “Alive In Athens” was recorded at two sold-out shows on the nights of January 23rd and January 24th, 1999, at the Rodon Club in Athens, Greece. Originally released as a triple-CD and 5 picture-vinyl set in summer 1999, “Alive In Athens” entered the German charts on #55 and stayed two weeks on #1 in Greece, where it was quickly honoured with Gold status.

“Alive In Athens” was heralded by many as one of the greatest live heavy metal albums ever recorded, often named up among such hallowed company as Iron Maiden’s “Live After Death” and Judas Priest’s “Unleashed In The East” as one of the finest live albums ever captured.

Seven years after the release of “Alive In Athens”, a discovery was made when raw footage of the live show itself was discovered in a discontinued archive, and out of curiosity alone the footage was immediately converted to a modern tape format and examined. Although only three cameras were present at the show, the energy and atmosphere of the material was overwhelming, and only three of the 31 live songs (“Slave to the Dark”, “A Question of Heaven” and “Iced Earth”) were absent or unusable due to videotape changes of the camera team. Not having known that camera footage existed from such a legendary concert, the decision was made to share the material with the world in the form of “Alive In Athens – The DVD”. The audio files have been re-mastered for 5.1 DTS surround sound to offer the best quality live feeling. While not as slick as the modern 16-camera, quick-cut DVD releases found today, the fact that fans can now share the visual experience of being at the show is one that will surely be rejoiced. Some backstage footage and a Jon Schaffer interview with the German music channel VIVA TV were also unearthed and added as part of this historical performance, leaving it without the standard bells and whistles but nonetheless delivering more than 2-½ hours of the best Metal ever recorded live.

Aqui ficam mais uma desta feita sobre Neurosis o novo album e o que têm andado a fazer os rapazes:

NEUROSIS heads to the studio!

Neurosis will enter the studio in December to record their next album. Once again they will be returning to Electrical Audio in Chicago with engineer Steve Albini.

The sounds emanating from the rehearsal room are frighteningly strange and not very nice.

Steve Von Till, under the guise of his guitar based psych project Harvestman, recently composed the soundtrack for the psychological thriller titled h2odio, a full length feature film for Italian director Alex Infascelli. An official soundtrack release by the Italian film company is in the works and a special limited edition of the music for the film with outtakes will be available from Neurot Recordings in the near future. The track "Trinity" from the film has been posted on the Harvestman myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/heathenpsych. Visit the film website at http://www.h2odio.it

Scott Kelly has been hard at work with his online radio show on combatmusicradio.com. Check it out to hear some intense music and amazing interviews.

He will also be playing a solo show in Phoenix, Arizona on September 16th @ 407 E. Roosevelt w/ Graves at Sea, Black Hell, and Emily.

Noah Landis and Brian Hood (of Strychnine) have opened a recording studio in Oakland, CA. While it is still in construction and doesn't yet look pretty, the tracking rooms are big and they have been doing some great sounding sessions. They are open and ready for business with low rates and a big sound. You can contact them at
noahandbrianrecording@yahoo.com.

Dave Edwardson has just released an album with bay area punk band Jesus Fucking Christ with whom he plays bass and occasionally sings. He describes them as early to mid-80's style hardcore with a heavy Poison Idea, Accused, and Christ on a Crutch influence. The record will be available from Inimical Records at http://www.inimical.com or
http://www.myspace.com/inimicalrecords.

Neurosis visual artist / director Josh Graham's musical projects Red Sparowes and Battle of Mice both have upcoming full length releases on Neurot Recordings plus the just released "Triad" triple split 7" featuring both projects plus Made Out of Babies.

My Dying Bride fresh news:
BATERISTA OUT

"According to the band, sadly Shaun Steels has decided to part from MDB. His continuing illness shows no sign of abating and he feels the uncertaintly could be having a negative affect on his relationship with the band members. His statement below:

I would just like to salute MDB for the good times and wish them all well in the future, I feel I am not ready to fulfill the duties in a manner befitting MDB at this time and have decided to stand down. I am sad to be leaving but at this time I feel it is for the greater good of the band. Tak! The Winter.

MDB would like just like to say thanks to Shaun and to say we are sorry to see him part, but fully understand his position. Good luck Shaun. MDB "

Frescas dos brutais The Amenta:
Parasite - Taken from the forthcoming DVD ' Virus ' is now available for download at http://www.myspace.com/theamenta & http://www.theamenta.com

Type O Negative:
Currently Type O Negative is focused on completing a new album with a tentative release date in early 2007. There are currently no tour plans while they are finishing the new record.

Negura Bunget:
OM - The endeavor of spiritual maturation. Negură Bunget proposes once again a new complete opus, focused around the symbolism and signification of one unitary concept: OM. Romanian language offers a vast and complex signification: OM means MAN (the human being), but OM is also the main contemplative state for elevation in traditional esotericism.Musically, the album carries the listener through a rather large palette of musical influences, from pure Black Metal to full Ambient tracks, keeping an even more intense flavor of Romanian traditional influence. All in 11 tracks of over 60 minutes, melt together by an overall spiritual concept. A tale of human elevation.

The official release date for the new album is finally set worldwide for October 30, through code666 Records. The album will also be officially released on November 30 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland through code666/SPV.
You can already pre-order a copy of the album from us directly (contact@negurabunget.com), for 15 EU (postage included).

ENSIFERUM (FIN)
NOT ON THE BILL OF NEXT NO MERCY FEST: "EITHER ENSIFERUM OR THE BAND’S OFFICIAL BOOKING AGENCY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FALSE ADVERTISING"

Ensiferum posted the following newsfact on their homepage:

There seems to be rumours in the internet which claims that Ensiferum would be one of the performing acts in the coming year’s “No Mercy Fest 2007”. There has been even promotion advertising that this would be so. In reality Ensiferum does not appear on that particular tour. Either Ensiferum or the band’s official booking agency has nothing to do with this false advertising.
As a reminder: The recording of the third album will begin in November and the release date of the album is 21.2.2007. A taste of the album is available two weeks earlier 7.2.2007 in the form of a cd single.

JARED ANDERSON DIED AT AGE OF 30: "YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER, YOUR SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER"

Hate Eternal posted the following on their homepage:

JARED ANDERSON, MY BROTHER, MY FRIEND, R.I.P.
This has been so hard for me to put into words for I am just devastated. Jared was such an incredible person, amazing musician and most of all, a best friend, a brother, family. Jared and I played together for over 5 years in Hate Eternal. We worked together on Internecine, we toured together with Morbid Angel and spent some of the best days of our lives together as band mates and as best friends. Jared was so devoted to his music, life, his friends and his family. There was nothing he would not do for anyone he cared for. Jared was there for me as I was for him, through thick and thin, good times and bad, a friend you could trust with your life .Jared and I spoke last week as we often did ,he sounded so positive, healthy in his heart, in his mind, in his body. Jared worked so hard to accomplish all his goals in life and his dreams. We always talked about the good ole times and how great it would be to play together again someday. How Jared, Derek and I did so much together and lived a dream that so many wish to live. These times I will always cherish. Jared will always be a part of me for the rest of my life. I will never forget the friend he was to me and the endless devotion and loyalty he had for his fans, friends and family. I will always be grateful to have had Jared be such a big part of my life. I shall carry on your memory forever ,your music will live on forever, your spirit will live on forever. Let us rejoice in all he did in his life and for the lives around him that he ever so touched. Now it is time for me to go support the Anderson family in their time of need and do one of the hardest things I have ever done, put my best friend to eternal rest.

You will never be forgotten my friend, may you find peace!!!
I love you brother!!

AVERSE SEFIRA (USA)
SIGNED TO NEW LABEL: "THE BAND HAS JUST INKED A NEW DEAL WITH THE UK'S CANDLELIGHT RECORDS AND IS CURRENTLY WRITING MATERIAL FOR THEIR NEXT ALBUM"

Candlelight Records published the following information on their homepage:

AVERSE SEFIRA Sefira have signed to Candlelight Records! The band has just inked a new deal with the UK's Candlelight Records and is currently writing material for their next album.

AVERSE SEFIRA formed in Texas, in 1996. Following a well-received demo, the band self-released their debut album, "Homecoming's March", on Arrogare Records in 1999. Shortly after, the band relocated to New York state and began playing in support of the release. They went on to make several high-profile appearances, most notably in support of Cradle of Filth in Canada. In 2000, AVERSE SEFIRA relocated back to Texas and signed to Massachusetts' Lost Disciple Records. Their following release, "Battle's Clarion", garnered critical acclaim across the globe.
With their reputation secured, the band toured Europe and Canada, and successfully co-headlined with Dark Funeral in South America. 2003 saw AVERSE SEFIRA leave Lost Disciple to pursue a new offer with Brazil's Evil Horde Records. This arrangement not only resulted in a re-edition of the band's then out-of-print "Homecoming's March" album, but also led to the 2005 release of a new album, "Tetragrammatical Astygmata". The strongest effort of the band thus far, "Tetragrammatical Astygmata" features songwriting and production that surpasses their previous efforts. Despite limited distribution and support from Lost Disciple Records, AVERSE SEFIRA has managed to amass a large cult following through relentless self-promotion and touring since 2001. Outside of their current partnership with Evil Horde Records the band is self-sufficient. They arrange their own tours and handle their own art direction independent of any label assistance. To date, they are still the only American black metal group to have performed live on three continents. In March of 2006, AVERSE SEFIRA returned to Brazil in support of Candlemass.

AVERSE SEFIRA will headline the Helloween Metal Ball on October 28th, in Austin, Texas at Redrum Club.
