[GoncaloBCunha]

Já agora, quem eram os outros nomeados?

[death lover]

Pra melhor performance rock/metal estavam nomeados os Mastodon, Megadeth, Dream Theater e Sum 41. Foi a única categoria em que os FF tiveram concorrência.
Nas outras eram The Decemberists, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Radiohead...

[onedayless]

The Decemberists e Mumfords and Sons é muito bom.

Unique Leader Records press release:

We are pleased to announce that legendary French progressive tech death metal outfit Gorod signs multi album deal for North America with Unique Leader Records.

For years Gorod has set high levels of killer over the top extreme metal releases which many have seen as inspiration and influence on their writing techniques. As the band furthers itself in mind blowing song structure and deliverance they are set to unleash their 4th onslaught of technical mayhem on the masses entitled A Perfect Absolution.

In Fall 2011 the band finished recording sessions for the new release with famed French metal producer Frederic "Elmobo" Motte which also features guest solos by Christian Muenzner (Obscura) & Mike Keene (The Faceless). The end result in production is a perfect compliment.

Gorod is without a doubt one of the most amazing progressive tech death metal bands in the scene today and they are ready to spread their radioactive songwriting once again all over the world.

A Perfect Absolution will be available in North America May 8th in CD, vinyl and digital format.

SABATON: New Album Details Revealed - Feb. 15, 2012

"Carolus Rex", the new album from Swedish metallers SABATON, will be released in Europe on May 25 via Nuclear Blast Records. The lyrics for the CD deal with the Swedish Empire (referring to the Kingdom of Sweden between 1561 and 1721) and are sung entirely in Swedish.

Commented the band: "For the first time ever we have had an expert to help us out with the theme, the well-known Swedish historian Bengt Liljegren. We have also added some extra time in the studio to find the absolute right sound on 'Carolus Rex', and our producer, Peter Tägtgren, says that this album will mark a brand new standard for how a heavy metal album should sound like!"

Liljegren's previously published works include acclaimed biographies of Adolf Hitler and Karl XII. He also appeared in the popular Swedish TV series "Boston Tea Party".

"Carolus Rex" track listing:

01. Dominium Maris Baltici
02. Lejonet Från Norden
03. Gott Mit Uns
04. En Livstid I Krig
05. 1 6 4 8
06. Karolinens Bön
07. Carolus Rex
08. Ett Slag Färgat Rött
09. Poltava
10. Konungens Likfärd
11. Ruina Imperii

The "Carolus Rex" cover artwork can be seen below.

The album's release will be followed by a two-year world tour.

SABATON will embark on a North American headlining tour in the spring. The "Swedish Empire Tour 2012" will kick off on April 10 in Tampa, Florida.

SABATON bassist Pär Sundström was forced to sit out several shows on the Canadian leg of the band's most recent North American tour due to a knee injury.

"World War Live: Battle Of The Baltic Sea", the first-ever live album from SABATON, was released on August 5, 2011 via Nuclear Blast Records.

After taking a trip back in time with the "Draconian Times MMXI" DVD/Live Album (the London legacy show of their classic album from 1995) and Gregor Mackintosh's return to his crusty Doom / Death Metal roots with Vallenfyre (along his mates from My Dying Bride, Doom and At The Gates), it's time for PARADISE LOST's 13th studio album "Tragic Idol". As a special Valentine's gift you can download the new song "Crucify" on February 14th

Vaura - Selenelion

Release Date: Feb. 28th, 2012

It's been said before that Stanley Kubrick seemed like a classical composer who created films instead -- that the images played out more like arias and overtures than a matinee movie. The inverse of that is probably the only way to approach Selenelion, the debut LP from Vaura. Less a collection of songs and more like an expedition into an elegantly foreboding universe, the eleven tracks that comprise the latest release from Wierd Records sound as if they were each crafted to evoke unearthly scenery and monolithic events.

From harsh distortion and aggressive screams to cold and shimmering clean guitars and vocals, the spectrum of sound on Selenelion is both varied and atmospherically cohesive. Thunderous drums, droning synthesizers, percussive metals, acoustic guitars, and vocal arrangements that sometimes approach ritualistic plainchant recall artists like Ulver and Swans. Vaura's particular blend of brutality and romantic melodicism can be attributed in part to the stylistic mesh of musicians: Kevin Hufnagel, Toby Driver, Josh Strawn, and Charlie Schmid also play in Gorguts, Dysrhythmia, Kayo Dot, Secret Chiefs 3, and Religious to Damn. Selenelion was recorded and mixed by Colin Marston of progressive black metallists Krallice, and signals a nod for Wierd Records to the roots of founder Pieter Schoolwerth who is also member of the seminal noise outfit Bloodyminded and a continuing supporter of acts like Locrian.

The album title refers to a horizontal lunar eclipse: the moment at which the sun and the eclipsed moon can be seen at the same time. With song titles referencing everything from an Etruscan demoness to a Luciferian take on the conversion of St. Paul, and with artwork by the German photographer Alexander Binder, the unifying thread is an unmistakable sense of shadow-drenched enigma. "Drachma" refers to the coins that bought passage for the dead into the underworld, suggesting that everything following that track is part of an Orpheus-like journey. But repeated nods to the occult literature of Jorge Luis Borges, in particular to "The Aleph" and "The Zahir," two stories that deal with infinity and vision, suggest that beyond the the dark hallucinations there is also a serious meditation taking place on the limits and paradoxes of seeing. Approaching such subject matter by way of something as invisible and intangible as music, Vaura invites the listener to share in a visceral, yet intimate ceremony of sensuality and destruction.

Tracklisting:
1. Souvenirs
2. Drachma
3. The Emanation
4. En/Soph
5. Relics
6. Obsidian Damascene Sun
7. The Uncreated Light (Transfiguration)
8. Column's Vein
9. Vanth
10. Selenelion
11. The Zahir

Também me surpreendeu. A banda parece ter uma dinâmica fantástica e ter o Kevin Hufnagel na guitarra nunca é mau. O ser melhor que melhor que tudo o que Kayo Dot fez é que já não sei...
