NAHEMAH "The Second Philosophy"
- IN STORES JANUARY 26TH, 2007 (EUROPE) -
- IN STORES JANUARY 23RD, 2007 (US/ CANADA) -
NAHEMAH's strongest conviction as musicians is to share their art and
music with the world, presented in the form of their LIFEFORCE debut
full length "The Second Philosophy." Their album encompasses
the musical equivalent of rapture and anguish while showcasing their
artistic proficiency through ten tracks of thought provoking music.
NAHEMAH combine the melancholic overtones ala OPETH with the Swedish
metal sounds of DARK TRANQUILLITY and the orchestral sections / melodic
rock essence of MOGWAI to bring an amazing musical outing worthy of
the world's attention.
NAHEMAH 's "The Second Philosophy" embodies the forward thinking
sound and ever-evolving musical character that LIFEFORCE RECORDS has
been cultivating over the years and will truly captivate the world of
heavy music with its unique and honest sound.

- MORTIIS ISSUES UPDATE ON NEW MATERIAL
TRENTON , N.J. - Mortiis has been busy writing and recording new material
for a new album, to be released 2007.
“The music so far is pretty varied,” said frontman and band
namesake Mortiis. “There’s a bunch of really heavy stuff
in there, probably the hardest stuff we’ve done so far, really
guitar driven shit. Then there’s some really ambient sounding
stuff, very drone-y and atmospheric, as well as some more electronic
sounding songs too.”
Mortiis notes that the songs are still in various stages of completion,
leaving them open to many shifts and changes before the follow-up to
“The Grudge” is recorded.
“It sounds really interesting right now,” Mortiis said.
“Some old vibes came back to us on some of the songs, some ‘Smell
of Rain’ vibes and some ‘Grudge’ vibes and some new
vibes. It’s all totally dysfunctional and fucked up in one way
or another. Diseased or hurt minds never really heal up, I guess, and
because of that, all in all it’s going to be a really hard, attacking
kind of album with the moody stuff in between.”
Some of the working titles are: “Zeitgeist,” “Great
Deceiver,” “The Ugly Truth,” “Looking Glass,”
“Doppelganger,” “Sins of Mine,” “Scolding
the Burnt,” “Live Forever,” and “Road to Ruin.”
Mortiis also recently completed remixes for Zombie Girl and Dope Stars’
upcoming releases.

- WINGER ON TOUR FOR 2007
WINGER IV – ON SHRAPNEL RECORDS
HOLLYWOOD (December 2, 2006) – Platinum recording artist WINGER
has released their first album in over a decade. The founding members
of WINGER, Kip Winger (bass/vocals), Reb Beach (guitar), Rod Morgenstein
(drums), have reunited for their forth record, which is touted as their
finest album ever. WINGER is joined John Roth (guitars/vocals) a WINGER
member since 1993’s “PULL” album and new comer Cenk
Eroglu (keyboards/vocals).
Being the first WINGER album in 14 years it’s not what you would
expect. "The new WINGER album" explains Kip, "starts
where "Pull" left off and moves into new directions. It mixes
some classic Hard Rock like VAN HALEN and early WINGER style, progressive
and acoustic elements that may resemble GENESIS, MOTT THE HOOPLE or
KING CRIMSON".
Now get ready for their 2007 WINGER IV Tour - The following are the
first four dates confirmed and where you can see WINGER in New Years
Eve – a full tour will be released before the Holidays!

- THE HIDDEN HAND announce new album, drummer and upcoming tour
Southern Lord recording artists The Hidden Hand have put the finishing
touches on their next epic masterpiece entitled "The Resurrection
Of Whiskey Foote." “Resurrection”…is the 3rd
Hidden Hand full-length (2nd from Southern Lord) and features the lineup
that recorded the now sold out/out of print EP from last years: “Devoid
Of Color” EP, comprised of Scott WINO Weinrich [Guitars, Vocals],
Bruce Falkinburg [Bass] and Evan Tanner [Drums].
ROWF is not necessarily a concept album but it is heavily layered with
historical story-based lyricism and themse. Musically there is a subtle
southern or classic rock vibe (ala killer slide playing from Wino and
even some Harp by Michael Anthony Miller) that creeps into the foundation
of their brand of dark, heavy, progressive rock.
The album will be released on CD and LP worldwide in February 2007.
Shortly after the album was finished Evan Tanner left the band and was
replaced by Matt Moulis (Medic, Bison). With this new lineup, the Hidden
Hand will hit the road with Kylesa in the USA late Jan. thru Feb. A
European tour is being planned for April.

- EMPYRIUM - A Retrospective...
new release date: EMPYRIUM "A Retrospective..." to be released
08.12.2006
As the title suggests, "A Retrospective ..." is a look back
on the work of Empyrium. Aside from re-mastered songs from all four
studio albums, the CD contains two unreleased new tracks, "Der
Weiher" and "Am Wolkenstieg", as well as a newly arranged
and recorded version of "The Franconian Woods In Winter's Silence"
(originally off "A Wintersunset...").
The CD will be released as a lavishly designed, gold-embossed Digibook.
Many fans will be particularly interested in the in-depth band biography
contained in the sixty-pages booklet of "A Retrospective ...".
This text takes a closer look at the history of the band and all its
influences music- and content-wise, and it will make transparent the
whole artistic aspect of Empyrium and its changes in the course of years.
Thus, it will contribute to a substantially deeper understanding of
Empyrium.
In tandem with the regular release of "A Retrospective...",
there will be a six-CD box encompassing the complete works of Empyrium,
including the demo "...der wie ein Blitz vom Himmel fiel..."
and "A Retrospective...", in an elegant and identical Digibook
design. Strictly limited to 500 copies. In addition to this, there will
be re-issues of all previous albums in Digibook form, also limited to
500 copies each.

- SHADOW DEMON scorching souls with Grimoire of Ruin
The music of Shadow Demon combines a neck-wrenching rhythm assault with
aggressive, melodic vocals resulting in an intense power thrash metal
onslaught.
Shadow Demon formed in early 2002, bringing together guitarist Jeff
Helm and vocalist Blaine Hammond. After working with other area musicians,
bassist James Rinker was brought into the fold. The band released their
debut three-song EP in December of 2003. The most recent additions to
the band are drummer Jay Davidson (2005) and lead guitarist Ryan Gallagher
(2006).
Most recently Shadow Demon released their first full-length album entitled
'Grimoire of Ruin' on their own label Darkhaven Records. With outstanding
response from the underground metal community via their live shows
opening for national acts like Kamelot and Epica, and
with a whole local scene behind them full-tilt, the band have big plans
for the future and are thirsty to get their metal out to the masses.
Check out the site links and if you're drawn in by the thrash riffage
that assaults ya' ass.
"Hints of Savatage... Testament, and Iced Earth abound here, as
the band combines powerful vocals, crushing guitar riffs, forceful rhythms,
and a menacing yet melodic attitude." 3.5/5 - Sea of Tranquility
"These guys have effectively taken the groundwork laid down by
bands of yore such as Hallows Eve, Omen, and Savage Grace, thrown in
a heaping spoonful of early 90’s era Iced Earth, and finished
things off with a fine glaze of Pharaoh, resulting in a band that creates
a very high caliber of modern power/thrash metal." - MetalReview
"...not having any ‘wimpy’ songs on their first full
length might gain them some of the more close mined fans of the metal
community..." - Rock My Monkey
"Judged not as a 'local band’s album' but as a legitimate
release, this stands up as one of the best albums released this year."
- Doomsday Music
"I was expecting very little from this, and I’m fucking blown
away. This is an album that is sure to put the band on the map."
5/5 - Unbound zine

US-based sonic border crossers THE SHOWDOWN have been confirmed to tour
Europe in early 2007 alongside Norma Jean and He Is Legend, so be prepared

2004 debut album “A Chorus Of Obliteration”, licensed from
the band’s US-label Mono Vs. Stereo, featuring an exclusive European
bonus track as well as a video enhancement. The album has been well
received by press and fans, and THE SHOWDOWN was attested by German
Metal Hammer to show “the potential to play in the premier league
very soon”.

- FU MANCHU - titles new album “We Must Obey”!
Orange County fuzz-rock quartet FU MANCHU have set “We Must Obey”
as the title of their 10th studio album, which will be released on February
19, 2007 via Century Media Records. The complete track listing is as
follows:
1. We Must Obey
2. Knew It All Along
3. Let Me Out
4. Hung Out To Dry
5. Shake It Loose
6. Land Of Giants
7. Between The Lines
8. Lesson
9. Moving In Stereo
10. Didn't Really Try
11. Sensei vs. Sensei
Co-produced by the band members themselves, “We Must Obey”
was recorded at Hollywood’s Grandmaster Recorders (Tool, Nine
Inch Nails, The Black Crowes), while finishing touches were added at
Oasis Mastering by Gene Grimaldi (Velvet Revolver, Pennywise, Rev. Horton
Heat).
“The title “We Must Obey” is a big ‘Fuck you’
to people who like to tell us what we can and can't do,” says
founding guitarist/vocalist Scott Hill. “It's not specifically
directed at any one person, just at the thought of someone thinking
that they know what's best for you, more than you knowing what's best
for you. That theme runs through the entire record.”
“It's a pissed-off sounding record,” Hill continues. “There
are a few ‘quiet’ moments, but those are rare. I grew up
on hardcore – punk rock bands from ‘80 to ‘85 –
so I definitely think those influences are showing up a little more.
There are some straightforward rock riffs on there as well. Overall,
it's a very full, heavy and fuzzy-sounding record."
In the spirit of such classic FU covers as Blue Oyster Cult’s
“Godzilla” and Devo’s “Freedom of Choice”,
the album sees the band tackle The Cars’ “Moving In Stereo”,
a well-known track from that group’s multi-platinum 1978 debut.
The new song “Hung Out To Dry” can currently be heard at
the band’s MySpace page, so go to www.myspace.com/fumanchu

- HIMSA Sign Worldwide Deal With Century Media Records!
Century Media is extremely proud to welcome HIMSA to its worldwide family.
The Seattle-based metal quintet’s ferocious blend of melodic,
unrelenting thrash speed mixed with old-school influences resulted in
a savage, unique and uncompromising sound that was welcome, refreshing
and undeniable. The group continued to carve out their own unique niche
in the scene through relentless touring alongside a wide variety of
artists from Danzig and Behemoth to As I Lay Dying and Shadows Fall,
helping them win over legions of fans worldwide.
HIMSA further describe their feelings over the new partnership: “We
are very excited, thrilled and honored to be asked to join the Century
Media army. All of us are huge fans and supporters of the label and
have always admired CM's continuous drive for releasing great and memorable
albums throughout the years. The relationships that have grown and prospered
between CM and other bands on their roster shows the honesty, loyalty
and sincerity they have as a family. We feel it is the best move for
us as individuals and as a band. With Sammi Curr (guitars) rejoining
HIMSA and writing new material with Kirby Johnson (guitars), our integrity
and passion are at an all-time high with this next step. As soon as
the new album is recorded, we will be back on the road destroying your
towns.”
HIMSA’s debut full-length, “Courting Tragedy and Disaster”
(2003), was hailed by Revolver magazine as “a manic 11-song effort
that's as speedy and raw as it is technical and melodic,” earning
the band a highlight as one of 10 bands labeled as the “future
of metal.” However, it was 2006’s “Hail Horror”
that began to show what this band was truly capable of, as they let
their brutal catchiness naturally coexist alongside musical complexity.
The album, produced by the renowned Tue Maden (The Haunted, Mnemic),
perfected the formula that has allowed the band to continue building
their own niche in the current metal scene and gaining attention from
MTV, FUSE, Revolver, Guitar World, Outburn, Kerrang!, Metal Hammer and
countless other outlets.
In other news, HIMSA have been added to the Century Family’s Third
Annual Christmas Balls show, which takes place Wednesday, Dec. 13th
at The Key Club in Hollywood, CA (USA). The event will also feature
the LA based quintet In This Moment and will be headlined by Sweden’s
Dream Evil, who will be making their American debut and only U.S. appearance
of 2006.
In 2007, HIMSA are destined to leave their definitive mark on the genre.

Even after ten runs in your player it still guarantees pure, heaviest
metal delight, hellaluja!
METAL HAMMER (D), Soundcheck position #2
“BECOMING THE ARCETYPE really might become the next big thing…The
mix of catchy Edge Of Sanity-style death metal, grinding blast beats,
progressive death in the vein of Atheist, the gloom of Opeth, modern
thrash, and metalcore-attitude unites the best out of many, many worlds.”
ROCK HARD (D), Soundcheck position #6

- THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER news update
To all of those who don't yet know, Pierre has gone back to Montréal
and is no longer playing with the band. He wants to pursue a more secure
lifestyle and we all wish him the best of luck with it. Pierre is most
definitely the finest drummer any of us has ever played with. In regards
to leaving the band, Langlois had this to say...
"My trip with Black Dahlia Murder as come to an end. Thanks to
everyone who supported me during the last year, I had the best time
of my life! And thanks to the coolest dudes BRIAN, JOHN, BART, TREVOR,
CHOWDAH and WOODY, I’ll miss you assholes!!!"
So here we are again on the hunt for a drummer… fun fun fun!!!
We need someone dedicated; who knows for sure that the touring life
is for them, and we need them as soon as possible. Relocation
is a must, but not necessary immediately. We have an album to
finish writing and many tours to go on. Fear not my children,
the BDM will ride again.
Email us at blackdahliamurder@hotmail.com
if you would like to audition.

- IMPIOUS announces track listing and album art for new record!
Swedish Powerhouse Impious has finished recordings for their forthcoming
new album “Holy Murder Masquerade”!
“The album was mainly recorded at my own ‘Studio Deadline’”,
comments guitarist Valle Adzic. “Only drums were recorded at Studio
Mega. Simply because when it was time for recording the drums, my studio
wasn’t quite finished.”
The new album is different to its predecessor. “We had one goal:
To make the songs more simple and memorable. We wanted more songs that
people can easily sing along with on concerts. When we were done with
the album, we realized we had a little bit more melodies than before,
and the average tempo was a bit slower. But it still sounds like Impious…
just a little bit more Impious than before.”
“Holy Murder Masquerade” is a concept album, a real bloody
one indeed. “We hired this Italian guy Andrea Cavaletto who does
horror comics for a living. The whole booklet is made like a comic book,
with the lyrics inserted in those speech balloons just like in an ordinary
comic book. We also hired professional voice actors to bring life to
the characters. The story is about this guy, Trent, who is a true servant
of God; at least according to his own sick mind. He’s soon to
complete his work and the listener/reader gets to follow him as he arrives
at his final destination. There are a lot of deaths, violence, blood,
etc... It’s a brutal story indeed.”
“I actually came up with the comic idea after reading a review
where it said the music was very good, but not original. That got me
thinking… I didn’t want to change our music, so what was
there more to change? Well, the lyrical part! And from that moment everything
just came to me. Why not make a concept album where the listener can
follow the whole story both sonically, lyrically and even visually??
So we did! It took us thousands and thousands hours of work, but we
did it! This way you get a whole new experience, and you definitely
miss out on very much if you just download the album on the internet.”
“When we recorded the title track “Holy Murder Masquerade”
we felt that the song needed some screaming vocals. So we contacted
long time friend Thomas Backelin from Lord Belial, and he was happy
to do it.”
The cover was done by Justin Kamerer who has done work for bands like
Slayer, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Black Sabbath, and more.
Track listing:
1. The Confession
2. Bound To Bleed (For a Sacred Need)
3. T.P.S.
4. Bloodcraft
5. Holy Murder Masquerade
6. Death on Floor 44
7. Slaughtertown Report
8. Three of One
9. Everlasting Punishment
10. Purified By Fire
11. Dark Closure

- VOMITORY begins work on new record!
“On Sunday, December 3rd, we will enter Leon Music studios Karlstad,

Rikard Löfgren is our producer of choice for this album. Ten songs

Media and we can assure you that the title and the artwork will go hand
in hand...”

- DIMMU BORGIR album title revealed!
Finally the long-awaited album title for the upcoming DIMMU BORGIR opus
has been revealed by guitarist Silenoz: "After what we can call
a pretty mellow and relaxed mixing session (at least from a dimmucratic
point of view), 'In Sorte Diaboli' is now mixed and ready for mastering!
Ooops…happened to mention the album title there. Anyways, mastering
duties will be done pretty soon courtesy of Russ Russell at an undisclosed
location in the U.K."
'In Sorte Diaboli' will be a concept album with a story located in Medieval
Europe. "There's this dude that works as a priest's assistant,
and after a while he just discovers that he has nothing to do with Christianity.
He just sort of has this awakening and realizes that he has different
abilities and different powers and is leaning more to the dark side,"
explains Silenoz the not exactly Christianity-friendly story concept.
- THREAT SIGNAL tour videos available!
Vocalist Jon Howard of the Canadian metallers THREAT SIGNAL has posted
the following message on the band's official web site:
"We're back home from the SOILWORK tour now, so I'll have time
to put together some video clips for you guys. I've uploaded a live
video of 'One Last Breath' recorded at B.B. King in [New York City]
November 5. Also, a clip of us onstage with SOILWORK!! It was the last
show of the tour, and Speed [SOILWORK frontman Björn 'Speed' Strid]
pulled us all up on stage; check that crazy shit out. I'll be putting
together various clips from the tour and making them available to watch,

Also, disc one will feature the band's last two promotional videos,
Brazilian TV footage, and a live performance at the "Masters of
Rock" festival 2006 in the Czech Republic.
Meanwhile, DVD2 will consist out of comprehensive bonus material, including
a full-length documentary, a detailed documentary recorded on the last
European tour, featuring insight into the band's life "on the road"
and backstage. In addition, each member of the band has contributed
personal footage - which means you can now witness frontman Peavy Wagner

Mike Terrana!!! The first edition will be available in a special steelbook

- Daymares sign with Selfmadegod Records!
Warsaw-based newborn hardcore / death'n'roll kingpins have entered into
cooperation with Selfmadegod Records on the first days of September.
As a result of the agreement, the newfangled four-piece will soon begin
recording their debut full-length album for an early 2007 release. Followers
of both hardcore / punk rock and death'n'roll of Entombed fame cannot
afford to miss it.
"We are extremely happy with a possibility to release our debut
album on Selfmadegod Records" comments the band. Karol (owner)
seems to be really into what we are doing, and the label is definitely
most thriving company and HC / punk distributor in the country, hence
there was not a matter of debate to start the cooperation."
"We are very proud of the fact that such band as Daymares has found
its place under protective wings of Selfmadegod Records. This is undoubtedly
one of the most promising new groups on the hardcore / metal scene.
We are eagerly looking forward to debut album, which will certainly
appeal to many fans" predicts labels owner Karol Pienko.
Daymares has been around for not much more than 7 months. It started
when Arek, Pat and Marcin started to jam together in late winter of
2006 to create the monster that they had thought about doing for a long
time. The idea behind the band was to bridge heavy HC, death'n'roll
and punk rock. The heaviness and brutality, the anger, the fury, the
intensity, and the passion for underground ethics, combined with outspoken
lyrical content.
Soon, they teamed up with Grzesiek who is, by the way, Marcin's twin
brother. He dug the vibe of the band like nobody else and from then
on things went really fast. Practicing like crazy all spring they managed
to record "Darkness" for an Integrity tribute album on Escapist
Artist, then soon after they entered the Serakos Studio to record a
5-track demo, as they did, the summer was upon them. The songs can be
found at http://myspace.com/yourdaymares.
"We are currently in the midst of writing for what will become
our debut album, most likely to complete it by the end of November in
order to focus on details later on" specify the band. Daymares
are busy writing more songs in order to start playing shows and record
a full-length album soon. The as-yet-untitled record is scheduled to
be out early 2007.

- TRANSLATION LOSS RECORDS SIGNS DECLAN DE BARRA
Translation Loss Records is extremely overjoyed to announce the signing
of our first overseas artist, Ireland's very own singer/songwriter,
DECLAN DE BARRA. DECLAN, who has been working as an independent musician
since the age of 18, has previously released records and toured the
world with his former outfits "Non Intentional Lifeform" and
"Clann Zu." His first band "NIL" was released through
Roadrunner Records and "Clann Zu" had a number of successful
releases released through the politically charged Canadian label G7
Welcoming Committee, home to writers Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn as
well as the highly praised "International Noise Consiracy."
Song of a Thousand Birds, his Translation Loss Records debut solo record,
features some of the best in Irish contemporary musicians including
3 songs that feature contributions by his former Clann Zu band mates.
DECLAN (vocals, electric & acoustic guitar & percussion) moves
easily between delicate pop songs and grand orchestrated reflections,
bringing to mind many of rock's late greats while maintaining his own
fresh and original sound. Expect an early 2007 release.
You can hear select tracks from Declan de Barra's stunning debut "Song
Of A Thousand Birds" here:

- HELL WITHIN album details and new drummer
As previously reported HELL WITHIN just recently lost their long time
drummer Brian "Bubba" Joyce and filled his position with former
TRAUMA CONCEPT drummer Derek Jay. Now the band is back again to reveal
some details about the follow up to the band's 2004 Lifeforce Records
debut "Asylum Of The Human Predator."
The title of HELL WITHIN's second, scheduled for an early 2007 album
will be "Shadows Of Vanity."
HELL WITHIN guitarist Tony Zimmermann checks in:
"For the past 7 months we've been busy writing and getting the
new Hell Within album ready to record. Finally at the end of this month
we will enter Prism Sound Studios in Acton, Ma to start tracking the
album under the direction of John Ellis. This will take us about 3 weeks
and then the masters are off to Audio Hammer Studios in Orlando FL for
Jason Suecoff to mix the album. We're very excited about working with
these engineers and can't wait to get started. I will tell you the material
is sick. In most areas the riffs are so bone crushing that they will
send you into a frenzy, but then the songs have their tasteful melodic
elements that will bring you back to earth and leave you begging for
more. The songs are rock'n in some areas and then face shredding in
others. More or less it has the signature Hell Within sound but put
2 years of touring and 2 more years of experience under our belts and
you will have the new Hell Within album entitled "Shadows Of Vanity."

and hard-hitting classic hardrock “Tequila” (European street
date: November 20,2006), BRAND NEW SIN premier their new video clip
for the song “Motormeth” online @ YouTube, so click HERE
to watch it!
After recently successfully completing the US Jägermeister Tour
2006 along with Mushroomhead, Soil and Autumn Offering, one of the finest
hard rocking bands on the planet presents its critically acclaimed new
album “Tequila”, an explosive cocktail of brilliant riffs,
whiskey-drenched vocals and outstanding song writing, here some of the
press feedback on the new effort by BRAND NEW SIN:
“Tequila” fits excellently to Black Label Society, COC,
Black Sabbath, 90’s Metallica and of course a beer case, or better
five of them…
METAL HAMMER (D)
That’s the way rousing, up-to-date Southern Rock should sound
like today – raw, dirty yet graced with insane hooks! “Tequila”
is a drink that definitely gets you addicted!
HEAVY (D)
…one has to admit that these guys did not lose one inch of ground
to the big players in genre like COC or Down!

- BYZANTINE To Hit The Studio; Take A Break To Tour With GOD FORBID
West Virginia's forward-thinking metal band BYZANTINE will tentatively
enter the studio December 8 to record the follow-up to 2005's '...And
They Shall Take Up Serpents' before taking a break from the recording
process to support God Forbid for two weeks on a tour package also boasting
Goatwhore, Mnemic and Arsis. Upon completion of the tour, BYZANTINE
will return to the studio to finish recording. Production this time
around will again be handled by Aaron Fisher and BYZANTINE for the yet-untitled
full-length, due for a 2007 release through Prosthetic Records.
"We have so far 11 songs in the bag and most likely will have 15
penned by the time pre-production starts," vocalist/guitarist OJ
Ojeda previously stated. "Normally we write 10 and use 10, but
riffs are flowing like mad and all four of us are writing material this
time, which has been very interesting. All I can say is if this album
doesn't kick our first two albums' asses, something is wrong! Some songs
are pure thrash, some songs are off time as hell and some songs are
depressing and dark. This album WILL be our finest effort."
In other news, Byzantine will appear on the upcoming EyeHateGod tribute
record, 'For The Sick: A Tribute to Eyehategod,' performing the track
"Shoplift." The record is currently slated for a Feb. 20 release
through Season Mist America.
