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

Drama Alert: CATTLE DECAPITATION Cancel New York City Appearance After A Fist Fight With Members Of SIX FEET UNDER!

CATTLE DECAPITATION has apparently dropped off the SIX FEET UNDER tour following some drama between their vocalist Travis Ryan and SIX FEET UNDER's Chris Barnes.

Ryan had the following to say via Facebook:

"Chris Barnes is a fucking hack. I've personally passed on at least five Six Feet tours over the last 8 or so years because he pulls so much nonsense on the support bands because his ego is astronomical. We're leaving the Chris Barnes Show tour today. Go to the Chris Barnes show and buy some of their merch. They need it desperately.

"He couldn't handle the fact that we were destroying him nightly on merch and talked shit about us on stage last night. I went to confront him about that and he sucker punched me as I was talking. He immediately RAN out the door and fled to his bus like he does every night when the two fans that are left for their show are trying to get him to sign something.

"We're leaving because we have no interest in bringing more people to the Chris Barnes show. There was no "fight". He punched me, RAN away and a few people saw it. I just walked out told his tour manager the deal, wrapped up the merch and left.

"Just don't go to the show and please get the word out. Cattle Decapitation is not doing this tour as we no longer wish to bring peole to his show. Cuz its HIS show. More than enough people have drilled that fact into us.

"He says: "what about showing some respect" I laughed, said "respect?" And proceeded to tell him about the time where he spent all night with me outside their bus @ the tail end of the Butchered At Birth Tour in 93 and that respect was paid long ago and he's since proved to the Metal world how much of a bitch he is… I got "dude, in 1993…" In there and he punched me as I was talking. Ran out the door and seriously thinks he's a bad ass still? Hahaha…

"Here's how Chris Barnes works: punches. Runs. Does the Rocky dance like he's a badass on his tour bus he's about to not fuckin afford."

For his part, Barnes had the following to say via Twitter: "If you eat tofu you'll get you're ass kicked in a fight. #knocked out"

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.

SIX FEET UNDER's "The Autumn Apocalypse" With CATTLE DECAPITATION Is Coming For The U.S.

It has been announced that SIX FEET UNDER will be embarking on on a headlining tour this Fall. The Chris-Barnes-named "Autumn Apocalypse Tour" will also feature label mates CATTLE DECAPITATION as well as WRETCHED. The tour will occur throughout the first half of November, with the full routing available below.

SIX FEET UNDER, led by the inimitable Chris Barnes, possessor of one of the most dominant and instantly recognizable voices of the Death Metal genre. Now featuring Barnes alongside NEW guitarist Ola Englund, longtime guitarist Steve Swanson, new bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Kevin Talley, whose history blasting for Dying Fetus, Misery Index, and Chimaira speaks for itself, SIX FEET UNDER 2012 finds the band reinvigorated and churning out some of the most visceral, in-your-face, and downright horrifying tunes in their renowned discography of brutality both, lyrically and musically. Decibel Magazine said it best in their review for 'Undead': "this is the best thing SFU have recorded since Maximum Violence… [Chris Barnes] hasn't sounded this focused or committed in years." Listen and order HERE.

CATTLE DECAPITATION's 11-track album, 'Monolith Of Inhumanity', is an achievement that stands out as one of the most volatile, ambitious, and impossible-to-pigeonhole records of 2012. Commended by Stereokiller in an early review for being "their most focused and intelligent album yet… this is another solid CATTLE DECAP release that proves again that they are not to be fucked with," and noted for being >"arguably the quartet's strongest effort to date," by Blistering, the record was produced by Dave Otero of Denver's Flatline Audio and finds the progressive grind conjurers exploring innovative NEW techniques in song writing without abandoning their signature formula of confrontational audio wreckage. Make also sure to check out the band's latest video, the cinematic sickness entitled "Kingdom Of Tyrants" HERE!

WRETCHED's Adam Cody Discusses NEW Album 'Sons Of Perdition' At Metalliance Tour!

Charlotte, North Carolina's WRETCHED was given the arduous task of opening the second edition of the "Metalliance" Tour. So far they have proven to be up to par with bands of the caliber of DevilDriver, Dying Fetus, The Faceless and Job For A Cowboy. With the release of their brand NEW album 'Sons Of Perdition' (out now via Victory Records), there is no doubt in our minds that WRETCHED will soon be upgraded from an opening band to a kick in the face headliner or direct support.

Recently, we had the chance to chat with WRETCHED's frontman Adam Cody at the "Metalliance Tour" in New York City. During the conversation, he discussed the bands NEW album 'Sons Of Peridtion', the bands plans for 2012, and the "Metalliance Tour". Watch it, share it, and go see WRETCHED live!
