HYPOCRISY Forced To Miss Upcoming North American Tour - Details Available!


HYPOCRISY have been forced to sit out the upcoming North American tour this May due to reasons beyond their control. The band members had received their visa approvals and everything was going as scheduled, until the embassy let them know that the earliest they could pick up their visas, get them stamped and so on, wasn't until late June at the earliest. A regular procedure that would normally take just a few days to sort, takes much longer at the moment due to that current workload Homeland Security is experiencing.

"As we were getting ready to go get our visas stamped and ready for the tour we were informed that the earliest we could go initially was sometime in July", explains guitarist/vocalist Peter Tägtgren. "We then immediately continued to call them, got the label to help with some letters, and put our lawyer to work etc. The best that got us was an appointment in late June. This is a HUGE blow to us, to our fans and everyone who has supported HYPOCRISY in North America. Sometimes there are battles you can’t win, and this is one of them. We will be back, I can promise that!"

The trek was also initially set to feature Brazilian brothers in Death KRISIUN, Belgian gore-grinders ABORTED, and technical-melodic-Death-masters ARSIS,as well as AUTUMN’S END and STARKILL on select shows. The tour will continue as previously scheduled at this time minus HYPOCRISY and ABORTED.

Watch KRISIUN's NEW Video For "The Will To Potency" Now!


On their last tour across the US, the Três Irmãos of KRISIUN filmed a new video for "The Will To Potency", a song from their latest studio album, The Great Execution. The director and producer of the video, Tommy Jones, comments:

"The band had originally contacted me to do a live video on the 'Conquerors of the World Tour'. We filmed every night live, however the day before the last show of the tour, we had a day off on a drive through New Mexico towards the last show in Texas. I had the idea of filming the band out in the middle of the desert because I love that area and always wanted to do a desert shoot. So I convinced the driver to pull over in the middle of nowhere at 9AM. We filmed for about 2 and a half hours out there, using a laptop as audio playback. We caught the attention of the Mexican Border Patrol who came to check out what we were doing. They sent about 3 SUVs out to check us out. Once they made sure we weren't doing anything 'too illegal' they got a kick out of it and were taking pictures on their iPhones because they said in all their years, they haven't seen a band set up in the middle of the desert.

"When it was all said and done, we filmed every night on tour, but it ended up that the majority of the video was filmed on that day off in the middle of the New Mexican desert in about 2.5 hours.

"It was a fun video, and I'm glad we got to do it this way, we all are really stoked how the desert stuff came out."

Watch this Tarantino-esque video now, courtesy of No Clean Singing.com.



European tour dates for KRISIUN will soon be announced, so stay tuned for an update coming soon!

SEPULTURA Single-handily Changed Heavy Music With 'Arise' & Are Still A Force To Be Reckoned With! Images From The "Kairos Tour" Available!


When SEPULTURA released their groundbreaking record 'Arise' on March 20, 1991, the face of Heavy Music was changed forever! "When this album was released it became the biggest seller in Roadrunner history and firmly established both the band and Roadrunner Records", commented Monte Conner (Senior Vice President of A&R for Roadrunner Records). " It is still hands down a Speed/Thrash Metal record but you can hear the beginnings of the modern Sepultura sound that would fully bloom on 'Chaos A.D.' in Max’s more enunciated vocal delivery and his NEW less-is-more lyrical approach (due undoubtedly to his improvements in speaking English). Here, Max is really starting to shine as a powerful Metal singer and band leader. I still think the lobster claws on the cover are cheesy but the fans love that art and it has become an iconic piece. This was the first time that Max worked with Andy Wallace and it was a collaboration that would continue through Soulfly’s 'Primitive' in 1998."


Today, SEPULTURA is still going strong! After various lineup changes, more specifically the departure of brothers and co-founders Max and Iggor Cavalera, the band is still making music and touring the entire planet. Recently, SEPULTURA wrapped up the "North American Kairos Tour" at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City. Joining the Kings of Tribal Metal were fellow Brazilian Metallers KRISIUN, as well as the legendary Thrash Metal band DEATH ANGEL. Opening every night of the "Kairos Tour" were new comers HAVOK.

Prior to the show we had the chance to chat with SEPULTURA's legendary guitarist Andreas Kisser. During part one of the conversation, which came to a halt when RAMMSTEIN was suddenly cranked all over the venue, we had the chance to talk to Andreas about the "North American Kairos Tour" and how he and Paolo Jr. have managed to keep the bands legacy intact! Part two is coming soon, so stay tuned!



Here are some KILLER images we captured during the bands terrifying set:

KRISIUN also used only analog gear and instruments while recording this album to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today.

Ted Aguilar Discusses Death Angel's NEXT Album, Anthrax & Testament Tour; Touring Plans For 2012!


Anthrax, Testament and Death Angel, recently concluded the second leg of their highly anticipated tour. The three Thrash Metal titans destroyed, erased and improved the ears of tens of thousands of North American Headbangers! And even though the tour was full of ups and downs for the Anthrax boys, their peers in both Testament and Death Angel demonstrated what true Metal brotherhood is, and stepped in to make sure the tour went on as scheduled.

On Wednesday, February 8, we had the chance to catch the last show of the second leg of the tour at the Best Buy Theater in New York City, and to say that it was an epic night of Old School Metal, is definitely an understatement.

Before doors opened, the kids were lining up anxiously as they were waiting to smash into the venue to catch one of the best concert lineups of the year! Prior to the thrashing festivities, we had the chance to sit down and chat with Death Angel guitarist Ted Aguilar. During the conversation we discussed the bands touring run with Anthrax and Testament, the bands next album, and his musical heroes. Are you ready?! Watch and share! \m/

Krisiun's Alex Camargo Discusses NEW Album 'The Great Execution'!

Krisiun's new album, "The Great Execution" has finally arrived! Today (November 1st), you can pick up the bands eight studio album in North America thanks Century Media Records! Produced once again by Andy Classen at Stage One Studio, Krisiun expands their trademark high speed Death Metal violence with a heavily increased amount of diversity, ranging from extreme tempo variations over distinct rhythm patterns to clean guitars--and even Flamenco parts! Krisiun purposely only used analogue gear and instruments while recording in order to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today. This wise decision resulted in a more organic sound, with the songs on "The Great Execution" possessing both a warmth and rawness that are so often lost through digital production.

Recently, we had to chance to speak with Alex Camargo (founder & vocalist/bassist) about the production process behind "The Great Execution", the rise to fame of Krisiun, and how the band has managed to persevere for over 20 years. Grab tight to your seat and crank it up!



In celebration of this release, the band is now giving fans the chance to preview The Great Execution in its entirety at Hails and Horns.com. Click here to hear the latest from the Brazilian Death Metal trio, and for an exclusive track-by-track commentary.

Stay tuned for an update with touring news from the Krisiun camp as they are about to announce their extended European touring schedule for the beginning of 2012, the year of the end of the world (if you believe the Mayan calendar). Prepare yourself for the apocalypse, which Krisiun delivers the perfect soundtrack for!

Krisiun is:

- Alex Camargo [Vocal/Bass]
- Moyses Kolesne [Guitar]
- Max Kolesne [Drums]

Krisiun to make Triumphant Return with "The Great Execution"!


The Brazilian jungle hasn't been the same ever since Death Metaleros Krisium surfaced in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 1990. Through uncompromised brutal music, Krisiun has managed to gain a worldwide audience who know that the band doesn't play around when it comes to their musical craft. Arguably one of the most extreme bands in Death Metal today, Krisiun are ready to unleash their newest monument of brutality, "The Great Execution", set for release on November 1st in North America vie Century Media Records!

"The Great Execution" is the band's 8th studio album and musically expands Krisiun's trademark high speed Death Metal violence with a heavily increased amount of diversity, ranging from extreme tempo variations over distinct rhythm patterns to clean guitars and even Flamenco parts!

Krisium only used analog gear and instruments while recording this album to avoid the compressed sound that so many musicians produce today. This wise decision resulted in a more organic sound, with the songs on "The Great Execution" possessing both a warmth and a rawness that is so often lost through digital production. The low end is deeper, with drums that pound instead of bounce and guitar tones that sear rather than hiss.

"With our new record we managed to capture the sound and the vibe that we were always looking for. Going back to Stage One Studio in Germany and working with Andy Classen again was the right choice. The album came out with a very distinctive and natural sound, shattering the boundaries of the style once more." Alex Camargo (Vocalist/Bassist)

The cover artwork was created by Japanese artist Toshihiro Egawa, who previously designed artwork for acts like Suicide Silence, Heaven Shall Burn, Devourment, Dying Fetus, among many others.


"The Great Execution" will be available as a limited edition digipak including a re-recorded version of the classic Krisiun song "Black Force Domain" as a bonus track, plus as a180g gatefold vinyl and as a digital download.
