SOILWORK Reveal NEW Album Artwork & Track Listing!

'The Living Infinite', the ninth studio album and first dual-disc release by Swedish melodic Metal maestros SOILWORK, will be unleashed on February 27th in Asia (via license to Marquee Records), in Europe on March 1st, and in North America on March 5th.

Produced by Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, BLOODBATH), 'The Living Infinite' features artwork by MNEMIC’s Mircea Eftemie Gabriel who shares:

"Seven years ago, I created the artwork for the Stabbing The Drama album and I can’t believe how time flies!  Here we are, with sexy gray hairs, working with my friends in SOILWORK again. This time, we built the cover around a maritime concept, aiming for something direct and symbolic.  I believe we achieved that quite well.  From my creative deck, I salute you and say: ‘Long Live The Living Infinite.’"

SOILWORK states:

“After commissioning some pretty elaborate covers for the last couple of records, we decided to try something more sober and design-oriented for The Living Infinite.  Who better to call than the man who created the iconic Stabbing The Drama cover?  Mircea Gabriel Eftemie is not only a close friend but also an incredible graphic designer.  We’re all stoked about his work which is different from anything SOILWORK has ever done and perfectly suits the elegant oceanic concept of The Living Infinite.  Enjoy folks!”

 

Tracklisting for The Living Infinite is as follows:

- CD 1

01. Spectrum Of Eternity
02. Memories Confined
03. This Momentary Bliss
04. Tongue
05. The Living Infinite I
06. Let The First Wave Rise

SOILWORK have been toiling away and burning many a midnight oil in the studio with producer Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, BLOODBATH) recording The Living Infinite, the follow-up to their 2010 release The Panic Broadcast. The Soilworkers are planning not just one CD of amazing music, but two: that’s right, The Living Infinite will be a double album and will mark the recording debut of long-time touring guitarist David Andersson (NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA).

The Panic Broadcast debuted on U.S. Billboard charts at #88 in July 2010.

FEAR FACTORY Announce Tour Cancellation Due To Reasons Beyond Their Control!

Due to reasons well beyond the band’s control, FEAR FACTORY will not be taking part in this Summer’s "Shockwave Tour", slated to commence tomorrow (July 6) in Seattle.

Commented the band in a collective statement: "We are truly disappointed not to be part of the 'Shockwave Tour'. We send our sincerest apologies to all our North American fans planning to come out this Summer, but we will be back. Please look for FEAR FACTORY headlining dates in August."

Added Shockwave organizers: "It is with great disappointment that we have to make this announcement. With the recent departure of VOIVOD from the Shockwave festival lineup, as well as low advance ticket sales, we have decided to pull the plug on the Shockwave festival.

"For purchases made with a credit card, your card will automatically be refunded. All other refunds are available at point of purchase.

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused."

FEAR FACTORY recently unleashed their latest full-length, 'The Industrialist' via Candlelight Records. Commended by Revolver in a 4/5 review for offering up "the same pulsating, angry urgency of old… nicely counterbalanced by some incredibly deft melodies", called "…a well-orchestrated montage of universal agitation and despair", by Alarm, and crowned "…their most aggressive offering to date", by Exclaim, 'The Industrialist' is the second album written by vocalist Burton C. Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares since reuniting in 2009 after a seven-year split.

The Devastated Announce Fall tour & NEW single

The Devastated was formed after former members of Impending Doom, Bleeding Through, and Oblige, joined forces and decided to combine all of their influences to create their unique, self-proclaimed "grimy, gross, groove" sound. Recently signed to Century Media Records, the band is now ready to bring their music to the masses by joining the "Metal, Arise! Tour" this fall (with headlining off-dates).

The "Metal, Arise! Tour" was manufactured by The House of Blues, Decibel Magazine, Metal Blade Records, IndieMerch and Red/'stache Media. Joining The Devastated on stage will be Allegaeon and The Browning. The metallic festivities will kickoff in the Cambridge Room at the House Of Blues in Dallas, Texas, and will conclude in the Delta Room at the House of Blues in San Diego, California.

The band will also be releasing their debut digital single "Devil's Messenger" on I-Tunes on August 2nd, and the band promises that while the sound quality will be top-notch, the song itself will be "really ugly" on your ears! Produced by the band themselves along with Chris Eck and co-production/mix by Daniel Castleman (best known for his work with As I Lay Dying), "Devil's Messenger" will be fans' first taste of the new Devastated album, due out 2012.

Metal, Arise! Tour featuring Allegaeon, The Devastated, and The Browning

The House of Blues, Decibel Magazine, Metal Blade Records, IndieMerch and Red/'stache Media, have decided to join forces in order to bring you the Metal, Arise! Tour! The tour will feature live performances by Allegaeon, The Devastated, and The Browning. The metallic festivities will kickoff in the Cambridge Room at the House Of Blues in Dallas, Texas, and will conclude in the Delta Room at the House of Blues in San Diego, California. Here is the Official Press Release:

The first ever Metal, Arise! Tour for developing metal artists, it was announced by Kelly Kapp, vice president, House of Blues Entertainment. The debut tour will feature Metal Blade Recording Artists Allegaeon, Earache Recording Artists The Browning and Century Media Recording Artists The Devastated.

"We are really proud and excited to team up with Decibel, Metal Blade, IndieMerch & RED," Kapp said. "This is a tour that will pair developing metal bands and great local artists. We feel we can create a circuit that benefits metal artists throughout the country. We hope to grow Metal, Arise! into a quarterly tour so we can continue to cultivate great heavy metal talent."

Kelli Malella, vice president, publicity & advertising, Metal Blade Records, said, "When Kelly first brought up the idea of a tour to help develop new metal bands in the states, I immediately wanted to be involved. And not just for the sake of my own bands trying to launch their careers, but for all the bands out there just trying to get a break and land a U.S. tour. The Metal, Arise! Tour has been created by people who truly love our scene and want to give new bands the chance to tour the U.S. and prove themselves to metalheads across the states. The Metal, Arise! Tour also gives local bands the chance to showcase their talents while giving them a shot at getting noticed by labels who are constantly keeping an ear to the ground for up-and-coming local acts to sign. We're keeping ticket costs as low as possible in hopes that you, the fans, will give these bands a chance and check them out."

Here's what the bands have to say about their involvement on the inaugural Metal, Arise! Tour:

"We're all really excited for the announcement of the Metal, Arise! Tour. The majority of the dates are in cities we haven't yet had the pleasure of playing. With all the venues being as reputable as they are and it being a tour with companies such as Live Nation, IndieMerchCo and the labels backing it, there couldn't be a better tour for us to be a part of at the moment." Allegaeon



"I think a lot of kids are going to be excited about seeing us and the other bands on the tour. We're three new bands who all bring something to the table that's going to make for a killer show. It's going to be the sort of tour where kids can discover new bands and proudly say: 'I saw them back then!'" The Devastated



"It's a pleasure and an honor for The Browning to be featured on The Metal, Arise! Tour! What a great opportunity for us to be performing alongside such amazing talent and working with some awesome companies in the industry. We can't wait to get out there and show the metal community what we're made of, meet some new people, and broaden our fan base. We're coming for you!" The Browning
