FEAR FACTORY Announce The 'Demanufacture' Tour

FEAR FACTORY's 'Demanufacture' changed the face of Heavy Music, period. Their revolutionary third studio album (including EP 'Fear Is the Mindkiller') introduced a futuristic sound to Metal that quickly turned heads and caught the attention of ear buds from all over the planet. 'Demanufacture' changed the lives of not only the band members, but also the ones of millions of Metal fans.

It was the band's first album with their classic line-up - Burton C Bell, Dino Cazares, Raymond Herrera - adding NEW bassist Christian Olde Wolbers. Many regard it as the band's best album and a Metal classic. It was also one of the first Metal albums to use drum triggers, which is what ultimately what helped the band find their signature sound.

As previously reported, FEAR FACTORY will be performing 'Demanufacture' in its entirety at Round 4 of 70000 Tons Of Metal! Today (May 28), the band has announced the 'Demanufacture' tour in Australia! Here is the official tour poster:

CARCASS Announce NEW Label Home; Band To Be Part Of One Of The Metal Cruises!

As previously reported, CARCASS's next sonic assault 'Surgical Steel' has already been recorded and is currently being mixed by Andy Sneap, not Colin Richardson (who quit the project). This will be the bands first studio album in 17 years. This highly anticipated release will see the light of day later this year via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band has been confirmed for next years 70000 Tons Of Metal, which is scheduled to take place in January of 2014!

Here is the bands official statement regarding their NEW deal with NB:

"We are pleased to announce that we have found the perfect home for 'Surgical Steel', the first Carcass album for, what, eighteen years?! We've inked a deal with Nuclear Blast for our new baby.

"We have to thank Markus Staiger for his enthusiasm and belief in what he heard, but mostly his ability to take advantage of Jeff with a bad hangover when he visited the office in Stuttgart to let him be the first to hear the rough mixes. Nuclear Blast has managed to secure this release despite interest from all the main players in what remains of the metal ‘music industry.’

"We're also looking forward to working with our pals in the US Office, who have done favors for us behind the scenes over the last few years. On a personal note, Jeff looks forward to his and label manager Gerardo Martinez' friendship to come crashing down in flames and tears in a few months.

"As long as we don't mention ‘The War’ we think we're going to do just fine with our new Teutonic home!"

Here are the songs that the band recorded for 'Surgical Steel':

* The Master Butcher’s Apron
* The Granulating Dark Satanic Mills
* A Congealed Clot Of Blood
* A Wraith In The Apparatus
* 316l Grade Surgical Steel
* Cadaver Pouch Conveyor System
* Captive Bolt Pistol
* Intensive Battery Brooding
* None Compliance To Astm F899-12 Standard
* Mount Of Execution
* 1985/Thrasher’s Abattoir
* Unfit For Human Consumption
* Zochrot
* Livestock Marketplace

CARCASS is:
- Jeff Walker
- Bill Steer
- Daniel Wilding

Guitarist Danny Tunker Discusses God Dethroned's Three Last Shows Ever!

"God Dethroned, the final year. 2011. When the decision was made to do it this way Michiel, Henk and I supported Henri's decision, of course, but it would be a lie to say we were happy about it. His reasons for doing it are -of course- his own and he looks to other horizons after playing with God Dethroned for 20+ years. He is building his own guitars, speakers and amps and going for that with the same intensity as he has played with God Dethroned for all those years.

"Originally, we would only do about 4 gigs as a 'farewell tour', though offers came in all the time. We did book some extra shows, in places like Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Leewarden, Holland. Eindhoven Metal Meeting was going to be the final one (on December, 17th) and we have honored that commitment for all offers that came, safe one, which was just too good to turn down. I'm referring to 70,000 tons of Metal of course. Any band would love to play that cruise. Play two shows on a cruise-ship with some of your favorite bands and 2000 fans? Forget it! So December, 17th is going to be the final show for God Dethroned on solid ground. The other 2 shows will be on a ship in the ocean.

"The other shows we did this year were Summer Breeze 2011, which was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had with this band and Motocultor in France the day after. Hanging out with Tyr and Moonsorrow on a nightliner and party? Check. Can't believe that was in August already.

"And now, it's December. And we only have 3 more shows to go. First is the Eindhoven Metal Meeting. Then Christmas, New Year and a cruise. Can't believe this will be the end of it, but it sure has been fun. It probably won't hit me for some time, but once we play the final notes for 'Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross' in Eindhoven and somewhere on the Atlantic, it probably will.

"Thanks to the fans, bands, bookers and the lovely people at Metal Blade for all the support! Hope you all come out one last time to party with us."

Injected With Deadly Toxin: Please Welcome Venom On Board!

To travel from the North Sea into the Atlantic Ocean, they must sail around the British Isles. Before doing so they decided to visit a town in North East England that they are familiar with from last year: Newcastle, and what a welcome they got! On arrival they all got injected by a deadly toxin: VENOM!

70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Floating Heavy Metal Festival now sails through the Channel into the Atlantic. Our course: Straight West.
