Horns Up Rocks' "TURN THE PAGE" (News & Tour Updates) - 9/19/2012 Edition!

Today more than ever before, people want their information fast and presented to them in an original form. While we always strive to bring you the most up to date Heavy Music news and tour updates, we understand that many of you are busy with your own personal lives and lets face it: our generation are lazy readers.

Last week, we premiered a brand NEW series called "TURN THE PAGE". The concept is very simple, we want to bring you guys the most relevant up to date Heavy Music news and tour information in a video format. While we select what we believe is the most important information and post it here on a daily basis, keep in mind that our main platform (www.HornsUpRocks.com) is the place where you can get the majority of the information you need.

Without further due, here is the second installment of "TURN THE PAGE", this is the 9/19/2012 edition. We hope you enjoy it!



Full details on all the news stories and tours mentioned on the video above, can be seen below.

ICED EARTH On CENTURY MEDIA Lawsuit: "We had no knowledge of this motion and were, sadly, not asked permission."

As previously reported, NorthJersey.com has announced that a New Jersey attorney has filed lawsuits on behalf of Century Media Records that collectively target more than 7,000 people for allegedly using peer-to-peer networks to unlawfully distribute 'Dark Adrenaline', the most recent album by the Italian band LACUNA COIL, and 'Dystopia', the 2011 album by ICED EARTH.

Apparently, no one informed ICED EARTH about this lawsuit. How do we know this? Well, look at what ICED EARTH's own Jon Schaffer posted on his Facebook page:

"It has come to my attention that Century Media is suing fans over illegal downloads of (among others) our latest album, 'Dystopia'. I felt it was important to clarify that we had no knowledge of this motion and were, sadly, not asked permission.

"We all know the music industry is changing. We have been adapting to this model by embracing legal streaming services such as Spotify and by bringing our music to places we have never played before by touring our proverbial asses off.

"As much as we respect that the labels are having a harder time selling music, we feel this is a misguided effort and want to make sure our fans know we would have not given our consent would we have been asked."

A Must See: ARCH ENEMY Premiere Music Video For "Cruelty Without Beauty"!"

ARCH ENEMY’s ‘Khaos Legions’ campaign gathers more steam as the band announce a NEW video for the song "Cruelty Without Beauty" from the bands latest album ‘Khaos Legions’. Vocalist badass Angela Gossow of the Sweden based melodic Death Metal quintet comments, “I’m very pleased we got this video done for one of my favorite songs off the ‘Khaos Legions’ album. The video is quite raw and extreme as it reflects the lyrics very well I believe, dealing with a subject matter close to my heart – animal cruelty and vivisection.”

Angela adds, “We want to thank the good folks at Peta2, Hardforce, Metalitalia and The Metal Circus for supporting a serious subject. All of us have been well aware that a video like this doesn’t find everybody’s acceptance. But Rock music was always more than guitar riffs – it’s also the voice of the voiceless.”

Without further due, here is the premiere of ARCH ENEMY's music video for "Cruelty Without Beauty":
