BEHEMOTH Announce NEW Album Title!

Polish extreme Metallers BEHEMOTH, who have been holed up in Hertz Studios working on their tenth full-length album, are pleased to announce the title of their forthcoming full-length album—'THE SATANIST'. The album will come out in the fall of 2013 via Metal Blade Records.

"It took us over two decades to come up with a title that…says it all. While our NEW songs artistically take surprisingly adventurous directions, our message stands steadfast—Proud and Radical. 'THE SATANIST' stands for undying yearning for liberation and love for freedom in all aspects of life. Considering all our life experiences that often took dramatic curves I couldn't think of more appropriate and fitting statement of who and where we are now” comments BEHEMOTH front man Nergal.

CARCASS Announce NEW Label Home; Band To Be Part Of One Of The Metal Cruises!

As previously reported, CARCASS's next sonic assault 'Surgical Steel' has already been recorded and is currently being mixed by Andy Sneap, not Colin Richardson (who quit the project). This will be the bands first studio album in 17 years. This highly anticipated release will see the light of day later this year via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band has been confirmed for next years 70000 Tons Of Metal, which is scheduled to take place in January of 2014!

Here is the bands official statement regarding their NEW deal with NB:

"We are pleased to announce that we have found the perfect home for 'Surgical Steel', the first Carcass album for, what, eighteen years?! We've inked a deal with Nuclear Blast for our new baby.

"We have to thank Markus Staiger for his enthusiasm and belief in what he heard, but mostly his ability to take advantage of Jeff with a bad hangover when he visited the office in Stuttgart to let him be the first to hear the rough mixes. Nuclear Blast has managed to secure this release despite interest from all the main players in what remains of the metal ‘music industry.’

"We're also looking forward to working with our pals in the US Office, who have done favors for us behind the scenes over the last few years. On a personal note, Jeff looks forward to his and label manager Gerardo Martinez' friendship to come crashing down in flames and tears in a few months.

"As long as we don't mention ‘The War’ we think we're going to do just fine with our new Teutonic home!"

Here are the songs that the band recorded for 'Surgical Steel':

* The Master Butcher’s Apron
* The Granulating Dark Satanic Mills
* A Congealed Clot Of Blood
* A Wraith In The Apparatus
* 316l Grade Surgical Steel
* Cadaver Pouch Conveyor System
* Captive Bolt Pistol
* Intensive Battery Brooding
* None Compliance To Astm F899-12 Standard
* Mount Of Execution
* 1985/Thrasher’s Abattoir
* Unfit For Human Consumption
* Zochrot
* Livestock Marketplace

CARCASS is:
- Jeff Walker
- Bill Steer
- Daniel Wilding

Tarja Turunen: NEW Album Title Release Date Announced!

The very talented Tarja Turunen has announced that her 3rd solo album is called 'Colours In The Dark' and will be out on August 23 via earMUSIC, the Hamburg, Germany-based international rock label which is part of Edel Group.

Despite her light and shiny personality, Tarja's music has always been dressed "in black" — the color of heavy rock, of mystery and elegance.

With Tarja's new album, fans will find out what happens when a splice of color is added to the mix. Or — better said — when the full-color spectrum enters the picture it does not cover the black but makes it shine through with many emotions and landscapes.

We recently spoke with Tarja about her latest musical project 'Colours In The Dark':

CHILDREN OF BODOM Announce NEW Album Title, Reveal Artwork, Track Listing & Release Date; Band To Perform At Mayhem Fest!

World renowned Finnish Heavy Metal band CHILDREN OF BODOM (COB) have selected 'Halo Of Blood' as the title of their eighth studio album that will be released on June 11th in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. Artwork was created by artist Sam Saramäki, known for his classic COB album covers for 'Follow the Reaper' (2001), 'Hate Crew Deathroll' (2003), and 'Are You Dead Yet?' (2005).

COB frontman, guitarist, and mastermind Alexi Laiho comments on the NEW album’s musical direction:

“We managed to keep 'Halo Of Blood' fresh and NEW while still maintaining the elements that make COB’s sound recognizable. It’s got the fastest and the slowest song we ever made and lyrics-wise, there are themes we had never had before. It’s ten NEW songs of pure Nordic Metal!”
 
Bass player Henkka Seppälä shares the following about the artwork:

"We wanted to have a winter scene. Somehow it fits well with the atmosphere of the music and the composing session. Lake Bodom, frozen, with people trapped under the ice. Very Finnish-looking scene. We were really happy how Sami created the whole imagery!"




CHILDREN OF BODOM recorded 'Halo Of Blood' at Finland's Danger Johnny Studios (in a top secret, undisclosed location in Helsinki) with recording engineer Mikko Karmila, who worked on the 'Hatebreeder' (1999), 'Follow the Reaper' (2001), and 'Hate Crew Deathroll' (2003) albums.

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Reveal NEW Album Title & Release Month!

Metal Blade Records recording artist THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, have been grinding ferociously in the recording studio in order to deliver the follow up to 2011's critically acclaimed album 'Ritual'. 

The band has just announced that their sixth studio album, which should see the light of day this June, is entitled 'Everblack'.

The band is currently tracking drums with producer Eyal Levi (DAATH, WHITECHAPEL, SIX FEET UNDER) in Detroit, Michigan. The vocal and guitar parts will be recorded at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida, with producer Jason Suecof at the helm.

As previously reported, the bands drummer Shannon Lucas left the band late last year in order to focus on other endeavors. So who is recording drums instead of Lucas? Well, Alan Cassidy (ABIGAIL WILLIAMS) sat behind the kit for the band's recent trek with DETHKLOK, MACHINE HEAD and ALL THAT REMAINS. So he might be the man laying the beats down on the NEW sonic assault by TBDM!

Stay tuned for more details about the NEW TBDM album 'Everblack'!

MANOWAR's Two Concerts In Spain Back ON After Being Cancelled - Official Statement Available!

Yesterday we reported that MANOWAR's concerts in Barcelona and Madrid (Spain) were cancelled due to "technical" issues. Well, the two concerts are back on! The band has issued the following update:

"Magic Circle Management and MANOWAR are pleased to announce that, after working through the whole night with the very best interests of the fans at heart, all of the technical issues were solved regarding the shows in Barcelona and Madrid so now the shows will happen as originally planned.

"The faith of the faithful will be rewarded.

"Doors in Barcelona opens at 8:00 PM, show starts at 9:30 PM.

"Doors in Madrid opens at 7:00 PM, show starts at 8:30 PM."

Commented MANOWAR bassist Joey DeMaio: "You really know what people are made of during times of trouble. Our true fans once again triumphed and showed the world who really believes in true Metal.

"We intend to play two very special shows for those who stood tall through this crisis with us and to those who did not, we all say Hail, Kill And Die."

As previously reported, MANOWAR' twelfth studio album 'The Lord Of Steel' is available now in most of the world!

'The Lord Of Steel' was mixed and mastered at Wisseloord Studios in the Netherlands with the help of mixing engineer Ronald Prent and Grammy Award-winning mastering engineer Darcy Proper. Some of the track titles are "Annihilation" and "Hail, Kill And Die!"

If there is difference between MANOWAR's 2007 release 'Gods Of War' and this new album, is that 'The Lord Of Steel' is not a concept album, yet each song tells a different story, retaining the MANOWAR vision of righteousness, honor and everything MANOWAR fans have come to know and love.
