Mastodon Confirms North American Tour With Opeth & Ghost!
Last week, we reported that there was a rumor going around that Mastodon, Opeth and Ghost might be teaming up for a U.S. tour in April. Today, we are stoked to inform you that Troy Sanders (Vocalist/Bassist of Mastodon) has confirmed that this historical tour will happen! When asked about Mastodon's plans for the immediate future, Sanders said, "We go to Australia take part in the Soundwave Festival, which is going to be lovely… Take a short break. Do a North American tour with Opeth and Ghost. And then take another break and come back over here for the European festival season."
As we previously mentioned, this tour makes total sense! Why? Well, Mastodon and Opeth are considered two of the most important bands within Progressive Metal, while Ghost has been picking a lot of steam lately and a tour with Mastodon and Opeth would get them in front of thousands of fans that haven't been able to experience this amazing Swedish melodic Metal band out.
Additionally, Mastodon and Opeth released NEW albums last year around the same time in September of last year, so they are both within a similar tour cycle since they need to promote the hell out of their NEW relases.
Stay tuned for more information!

Dying Fetus Announce NEW North American Tourdates!
Fresh off their South American tour, DYING FETUS have announced headlining and co-headlining North American tour dates. The tour sponsored by Metal Sucks and Dead End Threads kicks off February 26th and runs through March 14th. The first leg of the tour will see DYING FETUS headlining with support coming from: Job For a Cowboy, Volumes and Last Chance to Reason. The second leg will feature a co-headlining bill with DYING FETUS and The Faceless. Support will come from Goatwhore, Volumes and Last Chance to Reason.
DYING FETUS are currently working on their NEW album, entitled 'Reign Supreme' which is set to be released in mid 2012 through Relapse Records. The album will feature nine tracks and is a "return to roots" with production focused slightly more on slam than in the band's last few works. Thematically, the album is set to be a good old-fashioned piece of social and political commentary in the style of DYING FETUS as we have come to know.
The extreme Death Metallers will also be touring North America this Spring as part of the 'Metal Alliance Tour' with Devildriver, The Faceless, Job For A Cowboy, 3 Inches of Blood, Impending Doom and Wretched. The tour kicks off March 15th in Austin, TX as a part of the SXSW Music Festival and runs through April 21st, circling back to Houston, TX.

Shai Hulud Announce 'Hope Within Hatred' Tour & Reveal New Album Details!
Shai Hulud will kick off 2012 with a co-headlining tour alongside A Plea For Purging. Support on the tour comes from Counterparts and Dead Icons. The tour begins on February 23th in Danbury, CT and wraps up March 18th in Evansville, IN. Additionally, Shai Hulud, will be playing four headlining shows in Mexico from March 8th-11th.
Shai Hulud is currently writing the follow-up to their latest album, 'Misanthropy' Pure. The band plans on recording after this tour.
Matt Fox adds, "When I was in high school I proudly wore a Slayer "Hell Awaits" back patch on my patch and pin riddled jean jacket on top of a Who Framed Roger Rabbit t-shirt while skipping classes in Batman Converse high tops. I never gave a fuck about looking cool. In form, when given the opportunity Shai Hulud tours with bands we think we might like to be around. We're happy to be hitting the road with our pals in Counterparts, and soon-to-be pals in A Plea For Purging and Dead Icons. And what's more, I'd probably kill to have that Roger Rabbit shirt again."
"If indeed the moon ends up in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars we should be recording a new album this Spring. We spend a good deal of time working on our songs because we give a shit about music. With more ideas than solos or breakdowns, we mean to make Jello Biafra proud. And hopefully you as well. You'll have to let us know if we did just that. Be of good cheer, excelsior's all around."

Soulfly has revealed the final tracklisting for 'Enslaved', a brand NEW Soulfly album, which will be their eighth overall. While many bands barely make it to a third album, the Max Cavalera-led collective is still going strong two decades deep. 2012 also marks the band's 15th anniversary of making a tribally-influenced Metallic racket and what better way to celebrate than with a NEW record?
The album will be released via longtime label Roadrunner Records, which has been Soulfly's home for the course of its career. The label has also been Cavalera's home for the duration of his career, which began in the '80s as a member of Sepultura, who essentially rewrote the rules of Heavy Music when they arrived on the scene; Max continues to do the same today.
"Enslaved" standard CD features the following 11 tracks:
01. Resistance
02. World Scum
03. Intervention
04. Gladiator
05. Legions
06. American Steel
07. Redemption of Man By God
08. Treachery
09. Plata O Plomo
10. Chains
11. Revengeance
The digital-only edition includes the following three bonus tracks:
12. Slave
13. Bastard
14. Soulfly VIII

Fans that have seen Unearth live on their recent trips to Alaska, Japan and on their US and Canadian tour with Chimaira, may have noticed a NEW face on stage. The guy behind the kit has been none other than up-and-coming drummer, Nick Pierce.
Nick Pierce is a self taught drummer who's been playing since age 10. He grew up playing for local bands in the Seattle/Tacoma area (Culling the Weak, Eterna Nocturna, Embalmed) as well as LA based band The Faceless. Nick first sat in behind the kit for Unearth in May of 2011 during their two show trip to Alaska. Unearth discovered Pierce on YouTube where he had been covering Unearth songs, among many other bands, on a series of videos on his YouTube channel.
Vocalist Trevor Phipps adds: "Nick is a beast of a drummer and a great guy to hang with. I look forward to jamming with him around the world for years to come." Guitarist Buz McGrath compliments Pierce and says he has a "Great attitude, energy and the knowledge that we can throw the most insane riffs at him and he can create and adequately perform next level beats for said riffs makes it a little easier to sleep at night."
Nick Pierce shares his excitement about joining Unearth: "I've been a fan of Unearth for many years and I'm excited to shred with a great group of guys and support our fans."
A live video of Pierce performing "Watch It Burn" live on tour has been made available on Metal Blade TV. Drum aficionados and fans should subscribe to Pierce's YouTube channel for more drum videos (link below).

Behemoth To Join Forces With Watain, The Devil's Blood & In Solitude For U.S. Crushing Tour!
This April, Decibel Magazine is bring the North American Metal Maniacs the "Decibel Magazine Tour"! The tour will not only feature the return of the mighty Behemoth to North America, but also Metallic titans such as Swedish Black Metal meisters Watain. Support will come from The Devil's Blood and In Solitude.
This not-to-be-missed tour is scheduled to begin in early April, and it will be a 26-date tour. We can all agree that this tour will be extra special, since it will be Behemoth's first U.S. tour since vocalist/guitarist Adam "Nergal" Darski's well-documented battle with — and triumph over—leukemia. This is what he had to say about this kickass tour.
"Considering the fact that we'll be sharing the stage with the most evil and uncompromising bands around — Watain, The Devil's Blood and In Solitude — this already makes it a legendary bill that you can't miss out on! Watch out. We won't show up — we will ARRIVE with all the strength and might!"
Gruesome visual evidence of this tour package is forthcoming: We went all the way to Sweden to capture the frontmen and women of all four bands for our special Decibel Magazine Tour cover story, streeting in April. "Considering the fact that we'll be sharing the stage with the most evil and uncompromising bands around—Watain, the Devil's Blood and In Solitude—this already makes it a legendary bill that you can't miss out on!" promises Nergal. "Watch out. We won't show up—we will ARRIVE with all the strength and might!"
"Part of Decibel's mission is to push the boundaries of what a metal publication is capable of doing," adds Decibel editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian, the tour's principal curator. "By bringing bands like Watain, the Devil's Blood and In Solitude to larger stages in the U.S, we create an additional vehicle to help raise their profiles. It's another way to infect the mainstream with the power of the underground."
It only makes sense that Decibel would present a tour package with a sense of integrity, purpose and history. "It is a joint force of artistic adversity and sinister creativity," assures Watain frontman Erik Danielsson, "which makes me think of the glorious days when bands like Venom, Metallica, Exodus and Slayer toured together like a great middle finger raised towards their sheep-minded contemporaries."
Excited yet? Well, here's an early opportunity to score a great deal AND avoid standing in line. Fifteen premium packages are available in each market that include your ticket to the show, a tour T-shirt, a tour poster and a super-exclusive "Skip the Line" pass to move you to the front when doors open. The price of this package is less than you would spend on a ticket and a tour shirt at the show!
More details, including tour dates, venues and ticket info will be announced right here on January 24th.

Biohazard's Billy Graziadei Discusses 'Reborn In Defiance' At Hometown CD Release Show!
The highly anticipated ninth studio album by Biohazard is called 'Reborn In Defiance' and is set to be released tomorrow, Friday, January 20th. The expectations are high, and while many mistakenly thought that the band was finished once Evan Seinfeld (co-founder, singer, bassist) left the band last summer, the Heavy Music world will be caught in a devastating hurricane of musical greatness once the masses are infected with the NEW Biohazard!
After giving this album numerous spins, we truly believe that this is a contender for comeback album of the year. After seeing them perform a slew of these NEW songs this this past Tuesday (January 17) in New York City, during their hometown CD release show, Biohazard proved that they still have the attitude, energy, and powerful music that made them break all sound barriers when they arrived to the Heavy Music scene in the late 80s.
Before the event was kicked off by New York City Metallers Wrench and Ikillya, we had the chance to chat with Billy Graziadei (co-founder, vocalist, guitarist) about the bands perseverance, the challenges they have faced, and Biohazard's ninth studio album, which marks the first time in 18 years that the band records an album with their original lineup (Evan Seinfeld, Bobby Hambel, Billy Graziadei & Danny Schuler). Produced Toby Wright (Alice in Chains, Metallica), the NEW Biohazard album will be available worldwide January 20th, 2012 via Nuclear Blast Records. Without further due, here is our insightful interview with Billy!
Below are all the upcoming European and U.S. tour dates for the first part of their world tour in support of "Reborn In Defiance".

King Diamond Is Ready To Rock The World - Official Statement Available!
Danish Heavy Metal legend, Kim Bendix Petersen (A.K.A. King Diamond), was forced to take a break from his musical career in November 2010. In case you don't remember, on November 29, 2010, King Diamond was taken to hospital, where they discovered several blockages in his arteries due to his heavy smoking habit. They determined that he had several heart attacks and that he needed triple-bypass surgery. The surgery was performed successfully. On December 11, 2010 it was announced that he was at home recovering.
Late last year, King Diamond reappeared on stage at Metallica's 30th anniversary at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California. Today, it was announced that King Diamond is joining forces with ICM and the Agency Group (booking agents). Here is their Official statement:
"It is great to be in the top professional hands of Nick and Paul. They both come highly recommended by Brian Slagel of Metal Blade, who personally suggested the partnership that is now in effect. ICM and The Agency Group have so much combined experience, which will open new doors for us. When it comes to getting us back on stage again, we all agree on how to bring King Diamond to a whole new level. Within a few weeks, we should be able to announce the first part of our plan. WELCOME ON BOARD AND STAY HEAVY.”
King Diamond adds: "There’ll be a lot more great news coming the next couple of weeks. It’s been difficult keeping everything under wraps, but soon it will all be out in the open. I want to thank you for your amazing patience. We will get back to the Skype sessions in not too long as well."

BORKNAGAR Reveals Album Cover & Tracklisting For 'Urd'
Norwegian avant-garde Metallers BORKNAGAR are now unveiling the cover artwork for their much anticipated NEW studio album, 'Urd', set to be released on March 26th, 2012 in Europe as well as March 27th, 2012 in North America via Century Media Records.
The album's artwork was designed by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco, who has not only already worked on the band's previous 'Universal' release, but also with artists such as Soulfly, Belphegor, Einherjer, and Keep Of Kalessin.
BORKNAGAR's mastermind Øystein G. Brun comments on the artwork:
"The cover and design for 'Urd' is spot on when it comes to portraying the very core of the band. This time around we wanted an earthly expression through our cover and general design to support and empower the main themes on the album. You can almost smell and feel the texture of the old Norse wooden carvings - still there is a sophisticated and eclectic approach to the expression that entwines perfectly into the music. Marcelo Vasco enhanced our ideas into brilliance, he painted the face of the beast that is about to be unleashed..."
BORKNAGAR has recently finalized mixing duties for the album with Jens Bogren at Sweden's Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Katatonia, etc.). The track-listing for the 'Urd' is as follows:
1. Epochalypse
2. Roots
3. The Beauty Of Dead Cities
4. The Earthling
5. The Plains Of Memories
6. Mount Regency
7. Frostrite
8. The Winter Eclipse
9. In A Deeper World
The band previously explained the album title and its overall concept as follows:
"Our previous album was called 'Universal' and where should we go after an album title with such a magnitude? Well, we decided to head back home to earth. We really wanted to get back to the core of the band, where it all started - the admiration and pondering about nature and mankind's place therein. 'Urd' is the name of one of the norns that according to northern mythology stands under Yggdrasill and weaves the lifeline of mankind. 'Urd' is representing the past, while 'Verdande' is representing the present and 'Skuld' is representing the future. You might very well say that this is an ancient expression of what we today know as DNA. And I have always been very fascinated by the fact that parts and bits of our DNA actually derive from the very beginning of time. All living creatures are somewhat connected to the very first organic cell. That is some of the story behind the album title..."
BORKNAGAR is:
- Øystein G. Brun: Clean & Electric Guitars (Cronian, ex-Molested)
- Vintersorg: Grim Vocals, Clean Vocals & Choirs (Vintersorg, Fission)
- Lars A. Nedland: Keys, Clean Vocals & Choirs (Solefald, ex-Carpathian Forest)
- Jens F. Ryland: Lead Guitars (ICS Vortex)

Soulfly & Five Finger Death Punch To Join Forces For North American Tour!
Today, Soulfly announced that they will be teaming up with Five Finger Death Punch for a North American tour. Below is the initial list of tour dates, with more coming soon!
Soulfly has revealed the album artwork for 'Enslaved', a brand NEW Soulfly album, which will be their eighth overall.

The album will be released via longtime label Roadrunner Records, which has been Soulfly's home for the course of its career. The label has also been Cavalera's home for the duration of his career, which began in the '80s as a member of Sepultura, who essentially rewrote the rules of Heavy Music when they arrived on the scene; Max continues to do the same today.
