CANNIBAL CORPSE Have Been Delivering "Punishing Brutality" For 25 Years; Special Releases & North American Tour Announced!

Last year CANNIBAL CORPSE released their 12th studio album 'Torture' via Metal Blade Records, and supported their NEWEST musical assault with plenty of touring. But this is nothing out of the ordinary for the most successful Death Metal band in history. They have been hard at work since their formation in 1988, and just like fine booze: the more years that pass by, the better the band gets.

The logo has been updated to reflect the monumental occasion and will be used on all things CANNIBAL (see it below), from merch to packaging, throughout 2013. There is also a box set in the works for the most extreme CANNIBAL CORPSE fan, which is expected to drop in March via Metal Blade Records - details coming soon!

In addition to the updated logo only being used this year and the box set, Metal Blade Records will be releasing one picture disc a month from the band's expansive catalog ('Eaten Back to Life', 'Butchered at Birth', 'Tomb of the Mutilated', 'The Bleeding', 'Vile', 'Gallery of Suicide', 'Bloodthirst', 'Gore Obsessed', 'The Wretched Spawn', 'KILL', 'Evisceration Plague', 'Torture'). A total of 12 pictures discs will be released, covering all of the band's full-length studio albums, some of which have never been released on picture disc. The first picture disc available for preorder is 'Eaten Back to Life', which was released August 17, 1990, and can be found HERE. Check back each month to get a glimpse of the next picture disc available for preorder.

MACHINE HEAD vs Mickey Mouse: Disney Cancels Yet Another Concert Because Of "violent imagery", "inflammatory lyrics" and "undesirable fans" - Statement Available!

To say that MACHINE HEAD have been having a rough couple of weeks is an understatement. After being forced to cancel and postpone various concerts due to that bitch Sandy. The band was recently struck in the face by the corporate Mickey's over at Walt Disney. All up to date MACHINE HEAD tour dates can be seen here: http://www.machinehead1.com/tourdates

This is the bands official statement regarding this matter:

"For the third time in a row, the corporate powers behind Walt Disney Properties have once again pressured promoter Live Nation into canceling Machine Head's performance at a House of Blues venue on Disney property, this time the December 4th show in Orlando, FL.

"While no one is willing to provide evidence that would prove unfavorable to Disney, sources close to events have suggested that Machine Head remains on a "banned list", and while Dethklok, All That Remains and Black Dahlia Murder will still be allowed to play, the corporate powers at Disney have refused to allow Machine Head to perform.

"In 2007, Walt Disney Properties banned Machine Head from the House Of Blues venues in both Anaheim and Orlando, citing "violent imagery", "inflammatory lyrics" and most appallingly "undesirable fans" as the reason. The diversity-impaired corporation began pressuring the promoter with vague threats of liability and reduced job security before placing Machine Head under an internal "review process". Five days later, Walt Disney Properties would convey their alarming decision to the band, less than 48 hours before the first date of 2007's anti-war, anti-religion, anti-conservative-themed "The Blackening" album headline run at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, CA.

"A stunned Machine Head announced the details and disgust regarding the situation and let fans know of the then-rescheduled show 70 miles away at The Glass House in Pomona. In retaliation for that public announcement, Disney cancelled the band's then-upcoming performance at the House Of Blues in Orlando, citing the same absurd reasons, though they would only publicly state that they had "changed musical formats" at the venue.

"Machine Head wish to once again extend their gratitude to Live Nation and the House Of Blues for their poise and tolerance throughout these ridiculous developments, unbelievably transpiring here in these United States Of America in this year 2012.

"As they are not on Disney property and therefore not subject to the corporation's alleged coercionary tactics, the current dates with Dethklok, All That Remains and The Black Dahlia Murder at the Dallas and Houston House Of Blues will go on as scheduled. Unfortunately, Machine Head’s Florida performance will not be rescheduled in an effort to avoid creating any conflict with the existing dates on the tour."


Disney: please stop funking around with MACHINE HEAD, let them do their job!

As previously reported, the band will release 'Machine Fucking Head Live' on November 13. It's Machine Head's second live effort; 'Hellalive' was released in 2003. Nine years have passed and Machine Head still slay and administer a "Bay Area Beatdown" in the live realm. Full details HERE!

To celebrate this special release, the band is giving their devoted fans a FREE legal download of a kick ass live version of their song "This Is The End" (courtesy of Noisecreep). Click HERE to download!

TRIVIUM's Matt Heafy Announces NEW "Extreme Black Metal" Side Project!

Last night, TRIVIUM's front man Matt Heafy performed his first-ever solo acoustic set in New York City. The intimate event took place at The MOSCOT Gallery & Music Space, and all proceeds benefited The MOSCOT MOBILEYES FOUNDATION.

Heafy performed a couple of TRIVIUM songs, along with classic songs by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Opeth and even Depechemode. He also revealed that he has a NEW side project called MRITWU (death in sans-script), which he describes as an extreme Black Metal sonic extravaganza. He plans on releasing it sometime next year, and blames EMPEROR for the musical direction this side project has taken. Heafy does not plan on touring with it, since TRIVIUM is his main focus. However, he did mention that IF he would ever play the songs live, it would have to be with his current band mates: Corey Beaulieu, Paolo Gregoletto and Nick Augusto.

"It was originally intended to be full-on black metal… '90s style, second or third wave black metal." Heafy added that he decided to take the new group in different direction after discussing it with former EMPEROR frontman Ihsahn. "Somehow we got in touch and I sent the demo along. He started passing a few things to me to listen to, films to watch, CDs to check out, and it inspired this band to become this whole other thing. I don't even know what to call the genre anymore."

He added, "It's not going to play shows. It's just me on vocals, guitar and bass. I'm going to have Nick [Augusto, TRIVIUM drummer] on drums. If it ever did play live, I'll only have TRIVIUM guys play in it. You'll maybe see something with that band a year from now. It's got to be staggered with the TRIVIUM release. So yeah, I'll be doing another thing. I guess you can call it extreme metal."

A Potential Tragedy Avoided Last At The Tampa, Florida Stop Of The 2012 SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR

                                     Photos courtesy of Stephen Rafferty

As previously reported, last night the 2012 Summer Slaughter tour stop at the Ritz in Tampa, Florida was delayed by "a couple of hours". Here is exactly what happened:

After a female bartender reportedly received a note that stated that during JOB FOR A COWBOY's set, a man was going to hurt people.... Cops were immediately called. Once they arrived at the scene they went ahead and evacuated the venue for the safety of all the attendees. Then the cops searched for weapons with a K-9 and the security guards from the Ritz searched every single attendee for weapons. They didn't find any weapons or the suspect.

Once Police deemed it safe for the show to continue, the attendees made their way into the venue and were surprised by a round of free drinks due to the delays. Thank goodness the bartender, the Police and the security team from the venue, reacted so promptly!
 
JFAC's drummer Jon "Charn" Rice sent this statement to Blabbermouth about the incident:

"Just to clarify the events that happened this evening, a note was passed to the bartender stating that during our set a man with two knives and a gun was going to hurt people. Cops were called and after the proper precautions were taken, the show set off again, albeit a bit behind. No one was hurt and everyone involved is safe."

Here is the official statement from the authorities (via Tampa Bay Online):

"Almost 1,000 people, customers and employees, were evacuated from the Ritz Theatre, 1503 E. 7th Ave., before the Summer Slaughter Tour. A customer heard two other customers talk about shooting people once the concert started at the club", police said.

"Management at the Ritz Theatre became worried and called police at around 5:34 p.m.", police said. "The club was evacuated from 6 to 7:30 p.m. and part of 7th Avenue was closed.
When police officers arrived, they evacuated the building and searched for weapons with a K-9", police said.

"No weapons were found in the club and the people who had been evacuated were allowed back in.
Once people got inside, police officers got on stage and told the audience what had happened and why they were evacuated. The crowd erupted in cheers and applause and thanked the officers, police said."

Here is some video of the crowd outside the venue:

   Photos courtesy of Stephen Rafferty

Tonight, the 2012 Summer Slaughter tour stop at the Ritz in Tampa, Florida was delayed by "a couple of hours" after someone reportedly overheard threats of someone wanting to shoot Jonny Davy (the singer of JOB FOR A COWBOY). JFAC is one of almost a dozen bands that are part of the extreme Metal traveling festival. The venues security was notified and the Police were called, resulting in the venue being evacuated while concertgoers were being searched for weapons. The show was eventually allowed to proceed.

Stephen Rafferty of The Metal Observer, who is in attendance at tonight's concert, told BLABBERMOUTH.NET: "JOB FOR A COWBOY finished their set but we're almost two hours behind. VEIL OF MAYA just did 25 minutes. Lots of people came late and had no idea what was going on. Crowd and police were tremendous."

Former ANTHRAX Guitarist Dan Spitz's RED LAMB Release NEW Song ‘Puzzle Box’ to Boost Autism Awareness!

Advocates of Autism are in film (Holly Robinson Peete), sports (Dan Marino) and more, but a call to action is certainly necessary in the music community concerning the epidemic of Autism spreading to every neighborhood around the globe. We all need to bring awareness of recognizing the signs of Autism at an early age ourselves and act because there are no medical tests available to do so. The CDC just released NEW statistics stating that one in every 54th boy and one in every 88th child born will be Autistic.

RED LAMB and the song ‘Puzzle Box’ is a walk through the daily life of a family with identical mirror image twins who are both Autistic. It is a moving experience of reality that the Spitz family lives. The video is a short movie with statistical data, showing thousands of Autstic families, including the CEO's of AutismSpeaks.org (Suzanne and Bob Wright).

RED LAMB is here to bring the music community together on a permanent basis to bring this awareness globally through the wonderful avenue of music. The lyrics to "Puzzle Box" are co-written by Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Dan Spitz (Anthrax) whom both have acquired somewhere around 15 Grammy nominations, with additional performances by such artists as Grammy winner Chris Vrenna of Marilyn Manson as well as the entire CD Co-Produced by Dave Mustaine and Dan Spitz.

Check out this video by Metal Motivation featuring Dan Spitz with his wife and Autism Speaks spokesperson Candi Spitz discussing Autism during National Autism Awareness Month.



RED LAMB plans to give to and partner with www.autismspeaks.org through touring and many other areas. We would love for you to become a part of what RED LAMB is and our touring plans for the future.

Former ANTHRAX Guitarist Dan Spitz To Shoot Documentary About Autism In Order To Create Awareness!

Dan Spitz, founder and former guitar player for Anthrax and current creator of Red Lamb, and his wife Candi as well as their twin four-year-old boys are raising awareness of the life-changing effects of Autism by participating in this Sunday's Walk Now for Autism Speaks at City Commons in West Palm Beach, Florida.

"Autism is what makes our children special, we do not see it as a disability. They are beautiful, intelligent, silly and we love that they see the world differently," explains Candi Spitz, who is also on the committee for Autism Speaks. The couple's four-year-old twin songs Autism diagnosis has given the Spitz family a mission to do all they can for not only their children but the 1 in 110 U.S. children currently diagnosed with the disease.

The entire Spitz family will be walking at the Mar. 4 Walk Now For Autism Speaks event and will film portions of a documentary on their sons at the event. The currently untitled documentary is being produced by SheKnows.com, a prominent parenting website that won both a 2010 and 2011 OMMA Award for Excellence.

Dan Spitz formed Red Lamb in 2010 and recently released a self-titled debut album co-produced with Dave Mustaine (Megadeth). Spitz and Mustaine also co-wrote the song "Puzzle Box" for the release; a video for the track is in the works with footage from Sunday's event being included. Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) oversaw all programming for the album. Vrenna and Spitz are also working on a side project with more details to be announced shortly. The first video from Red Lamb is for the song "The Cage," which can be seen below.

Jeremy Deacon (Formerly From Wykked Wytch) Loses Battle To Cancer - Rest In Peace!

With heavy hearts, its saddens is to inform you that Jeremy Deacon, who is the former bass player of Florida's extreme Metal band Wykked Wytch, has died of lymphoma* at the young age of 33. Here is statement from the bands frontman Ipek Warnock:

"Thank You all My dear Friends and fans for offering condolence & kind words for our Ex Bassist Jeremy deacon!I had a very rough nite dealing with his loss ,too young To Die! I will be dedicating a part for Jeremy on my upcoming radio show this Thursday. We met Jeremy in 1998 and he was part of the group off and on till 2001. He performed at many shows in NY, OH, NJ, PA, including opening slot for Dying Fetus (1998) in NYC, March Metal Meltdown II in NJ (1999), San Antonio Metalfest (1999). Only other member to have performed with the original line-up and 'Angelic Vengeance' lineup. He was also involved during the writing sessions for 'Angelic Vengeance' but couldn't take part in the recording. Lost contact over the last several years but even when we moved down to Florida we brought him down to be apart of the group but didn't work out. Jeremy was very talented and I recognized that and always tried to help but his own demons always held him back from his dreams. In closing don't hold grudge, just tell that person today that you care before it's too late! Peace my friends!!"

Lady Gaga: A Metalhead?

This past weekend Iron Maiden brought their legendary flavor of Metal to Tampa, Florida and showed the sunshine state that Heavy Metal is alive and well. As usual they had an amazing show and the thousands of Metaleros that gathered at the St. Pete Times Forum are still nursing their necks from so much headbanging. One unusual headbanger who attended the legendary performance was none other then pop diva Lady Gaga. Yeah, Lady Gaga! And get this, one of her favorite songs is "Run to the Hills" and her 666th twit proved that she is an avid Iron Maiden fan.

"The Number of the Beast. Having' beers listening to Maiden w the New York Boys. Happy 666 Twitterland."


You're probably thinking "what a poseur"! Well, the truth is that Lady Gaga has been into Heavy Metal for many years. Actually, she claims that when she was a Gogo dancer one of the songs that got her grooving was Black Sabbath's "Black Sabbath". Speaking of Sabbath, when Ryan Seacrest interviewed Ozzy Osbourne this is what the "Prince of Darkness" had to say about Lady Gaga:

"She's very clever, very interesting. She's wacky and I like the zaniness of that woman."

To this Lady Gaga responded: "Are you kidding? I'm the biggest BLACK SABBATH fan on Earth!"

Next time you see Lady Gaga ask her to put her Horns Up and prove to you that she is not a poseur! Hahahaha.
