July 14th, 2007	HAMMERFALL Announces First-Ever Concert In Russia Swedish melodic metallers HAMMERFALL have announced their first-ever appearance in Russia: On September 7, the band and its fans will rock Club Tochka in Moscow. HAMMERFALL has set "Steel Meets Steel - Ten Years of Glory" as the title of its upcoming "best-of" collection, due on October 12 via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD will include around 25 classic HAMMERFALL tracks along with three new songs which were recently recorded at Mi Sueno studios in Tenerife, Spain: "Last Man Standing", "Restless Soul" and "HammerFall v1.07". Commented the band: "We're celebrating our ten-year anniversary as a record-releasing band in 2007, remember? We spent seven weeks or so here five years ago, recording 'Crimson Thunder', and a fortnight for the mix of 'Chapter V: Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken', so it was a great pleasure to once again walk into the arms and home of the Deris [Andi Deris; HELLOWEEN vocalist] family." PRONG And OMEN To Play TEXAS HELLFEST PRONG and OMEN are among the confirmed bands for the Texas Hellfest, set to take place July 22 at The Rockyard in Ft. Worth, Texas.

PRONG's last CD, 2004's "Scorpio Rising", was released after a long hiatus from the rock scene. "I had to do something, no matter what it was," stated Tommy Victor. "Looking back, I don't feel like it was an appropriate release under the PRONG moniker. I still feel like the best is yet to come."

Prosthetic Records has also posted a brand new Yakuza track online; entitled "Egocide," the track will appear on Transmutations, which will see an August 7 release through Prosthetic Records. Prior to that, YAKUZA will host a listening party for Transmutations July 31 at the Liar's Club in Chicago. "Exploration, experimentation, riding the line between the familiar and the foreign; the essential elements for YAKUZA have already been established,” frontman Bruce Lamont says about the band's sound. “We are not interested in creating music that’s easily definable. Our roots are firmly planted in metal - yes, but like life, the sounds here are not cut and dry. At times this record can be uplifting, cruel, celebratory and just downright fuckin’ mean." Utilizing producer and established multi-instrumentalist Sanford Parker (Rwake, Pelican, Minsk) for the recording of Transmutations, YAKUZA couldn’t be happier with the album’s end sound: “Sanford was great to work with,” Lamont says. “We really feel he has refined his craft over the past half a dozen recordings he's done. He’s known the band for a long time and helped with our last release, so he is already aware of our studio tendencies. With him the process felt almost effortless.” YAKUZA began demoing new material on February 28 at Semifour Studios in the band's hometown. 'Transmutations' was produced by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Minsk, Rwake), who made a guest appearance on the band's last release, 'Samsara'.

Alex comments: "Since our original vocalist left the band in the second half of 2006 we made some auditions for the position without having a satisfactory result, so, due to the request of the other members I accepted this experience, which is something totally new for me, but our objective is still to find a vocalist."

AVENGED SEVENFOLD: Dates In Indonesia, Singapore Announced AVENGED SEVENFOLD has announced the following dates: Aug. 07 - Tennis Indoor Arena - Jakarta Aug. 09 - Fort Canning - Singapore Aug. 11 - Maeshima - Osaka City, Osaka Aug. 12 - Marine Stadium - Tokyo, Tokyo AVENGED SEVENFOLD will release its long-awaited new DVD, "All Excess", on July 17 via Warner Bros. The project is expected to feature live clips of the tracks "Walk" (PANTERA cover), "Beast and the Harlot", "Trashed and Scattered", "Seize the Day" and "Bat Country", plus videos for the latter tune, "Beast and the Harlot", "Seize the Day" and "Unholy Confessions". A documentary, three "making of the video" features and a pull-out poster round out the "All Excess" package. AVENGED SEVENFOLD frontman M. Shadows commented: "This DVD has been eight years in the making. We didn't want to cheat the fans by putting out a standard live DVD. Instead we wanted to focus on giving back to our fans by showing them what makes five best friends from Huntington Beach eat, sleep and breathe the AVENGED SEVENFOLD lifestyle. This DVD shows everything from life backstage on the bus to some of the first shows in our hometown. We didn't leave anything off that fans have been asking about for all these years. Unlike cookie-cutter concert DVDs this is a documentary you can watch again and again for years to come." AVENGED SEVENFOLD has been keeping a low profile while working on its new album, and M. Shadows told Launch that the band is not concerned about what kind of response its next effort will get. "We have a really good, you know, recipe for success for us, and that's just to be best friends and write the music that we wanna write, and then at that point, you know, it's up to everyone else to decide how big AVENGED SEVENFOLD's gonna be," he said. "Like, we just do our thing, we tour, we love being on the road with each other, we love seeing different parts of the world and to us, it's just all about going out there and playing live music, and, you know, writing records every year. We just wanna keep doing what we do." AVENGED SEVENFOLD is tentatively planning to release its next record in October. The new CD will follow up 2005's gold-selling "City of Evil". MOONSPELL To Re-Record Early Material Portuguese metallers MOONSPELL will enter the studio in early July to record a very special project. The recording sessions will be held at the Denmark's Antfarm Studios with Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, DARK TRANQUILLITY, ROB HALFORD) co-producing with the band. This release will consist of re-recordings of the band's legendary "Under the Moonspell" (1994) but also going back as far as their first demo "Anno Satan" and their sole track as MORBID GOD, "Serpent Angel". All the songs will be re-arranged and revamped in order to "underline their revered distinction as underground classics but now with a mature dark energy and class," according to a press release. "The full-length record (eight songs and around five instrumental compositions) will be released in early October via SPV worldwide. The track listing is as follows (not in final order): 01. Halla alle halla al rabka halla (Praeludium/Incantatum Solistitium) 02. Tenebrarum Oratorium (Andamento I/Erudit Compendyum) 03. Interludium/Incantatum Oequinoctum 04. Tenebrarum Oratorium (Andamento II/Erotic Compendyum) 05. Opus Diabolicum (Andamento III/Instrumental Compendyum) 06. Chorai Lusit€ \|ânia! (Epilogus/Incantatam Maresia) 07. Intro 08. Goat on Fire 09. Ancient Winter Goddess 10. Wolves From The Fog 11. Outro 12. Serpent Angel The band is also in the process of writing material for the follow-up to "Memorial", which will go into production before the end of the year at the Woodhouse Studios with producer Waldemar Sorychta. A "best of" collection from MOONSPELL, entitled "The Great Silver Eye", will be released in July through Century Media. Upcoming MOONSPELL shows: Jul. 14 - GDL Metal Festival - Grândola - POR Aug. 04 - Wacken Open Air - Wacken - Germany THE VISION BLEAK have finished recording "The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey" After nearly six months in the studio, THE VISION BLEAK have just finished recording their third album, "The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey." "The album contains nine songs which are definitely among the heaviest and at the same time the most atmospheric and most stringent pieces of music THE VISION BLEAK has ever released," says Ulf Theodor Schwadorf about the follow-up to 2005's very successful album "Carpathia". "The Metal part - read: the guitar riffs - of THE VISION BLEAK's sound certainly has made it more into the foreground on 'The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey', but still there are bombastic orchestral sections, acoustic guitars, sitars and lots of atmospheric details featured in all songs." The band isn't promising too much here, as the song 'By Our Brotherhood With Seth' will prove: http://seth.prophecyproductions.de/ The track list of "The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey": 1) Amala & Kamala 2) She-Wolf 3) The Demon Of The Mire The Black Pharaoh Trilogy 4) Introduction 5) Part I: The Shining Trapezohedron 6) Part II: The Vault Of Nephren-Ka 7) The Eldrich Beguilement 8) Evil Is Of Old Date 9) By Our Brotherhood With Seth "The Wolves Go Hunt Their Prey" will be released on August 31, 2007, as a normal CD and a deluxe edition. Apart from a live DVD, the deluxe edition will contain a return coupon for ordering an exclusive T-shirt and a free THE VISION BLEAK patch. S.O.D. TO RELEASE “Rise Of The Infidels" West Palm Beach FL, June 21, 2007 -- Megaforce Records and metal/hardcore pioneers S.O.D. will release Rise Of The Infidels, on August 21, 2007. It is an extended EP (perhaps the longest in the music biz) with four unreleased S.O.D. songs, plus a live concert from Seattle is included. One of the crucial bands in the musical chain linking hardcore punk with metal, the Stormtroopers of Death - known as S.O.D. – were actually intended to be a one-off side project, done as a lark. S.O.D. began in the mid-1980's during a break in the recording of Anthrax's Spreading The Disease. What started out as a quick, satirical release for Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Dan Lilker, and the infamous Billy Milano, S.O.D. has turned into a seminal band influencing countless hardcore, metalcore, and post-hardcore bands. Their first album, Speak English Or Die, has sold over 400,000 and remains an underground classic. S.O.D. was always about brutal satire, but done with complete honesty. Anyone who has witnessed their severe, yet astonishing live show, knows that S.O.D. is like no other band on the planet. Track Listing: 1. Stand Up And Fight 2. Java Amigo 3. United And Strong 4. Ready To Fight Live At The Fenix 5. Ballad Of Nirvana/March Of The S.O.D. 6. Sgt D And The S.O.D. 7. Kill Yourself 8. Milano Mosh 9. Speak English Or Die 10. Fuck the Middle East 11. Douche Crew 12. Ballad Of Jimi Hendrix 13. Ballad Of Jim Morrison 14. Ballad Of INXS 15. Ballad Of Frank Sinatra 16. Ballad Of Nirvana 17. Ballad Of Freddy Mercury 18. Cromatic Death 19. Fist Banging Mania 20. No Turning Back 21. Milk 22. Pussywhipped 23. Freddy Krueger 24. United Forces FALL OF EDEN ANNOUNCES U.S. TOUR DATES, RELEASE "DAWN OF A NEW AGE" CD CHICAGO, IL - Death Metal newcomers Fall Of Eden will launch into Midwest and East Coast tour dates in July to promote the release of their new full-length, "Dawn Of A New Age." Dropping their style of metal quite far from the tree, and grinding far beyond the perceived limits of the band's collective youth, Fall Of Eden has progressed musically by leaps and bounds since their debut/demo self-titled release of last summer. Their aim on the road is to make that point clear to all who attend. Fall Of Eden offers complexity in their melodies, heaviness in their drive, and a relentless attack on pop sensibilities everywhere... all with the positivity and energetic lust for life that metal bands generally leave up to the punks.

The fans have waited more or less patiently for this new SLOUGH FEG release, expectations grew day by day and it looked like it was never to be released… Now after having spent over 6 months in the studio, SLOUGH FEG are ready to release what it’s going to be a serious candidate to their “best album ever” award, “Hardworlder”! It was November 2005 and on a German train Mike Scalzi told us that the “next” would have been a 70s-guitar inspired album: as a matter of fact, in 2007 with the help of “Don” Angelo Tringali the band has produced SLOUGH FEG’s most guitar-driven album! New drummer Antoine Reuben-Diavola together with the precise bass-playing of Adrian Maestas supplies the heaviness needed and song after song the album flows on a thin but always-present sci-fi background, providing cold shivers of pleasure as each song touches the depth of any Hard Rock / Heavy Metal lover. Two wonderful covers such as “Dearg Doom” (Horslips) and “Street Jammer” (MANILLAROAD) make this album something that can't be missed. It’s really the time to say it again… BUY OR DIE! Cover by James Lyle, release-date 14/07/2007 Line up: Michael Scalzi - Vocals/Lead guitar , “Don" Angelo Tringali - lead guitar, Adrian Maestas - bass guitar , Antoine Reuben-Diavola – drums. * “Hardworlder” is proud part of the “Try Before Buy” CRUZ DEL SUR campaign.

We have been working towards this goal for a long time. I think Hatebreed was the first band that I was actually friends with that broke that number with 'Satisfaction...'. I remember thinking how huge it seemed and it still seems enormous, especially in today’s musical climate. Thank you to everyone who picked up the disc, who told their friends, who sent us love on MySpace, who posts on our message board, who started fan sites, and everyone who came out to shows to hang out and support ATR. We are gonna hit a few new places this year and lots of places we've been before. So come out, say what's up, and get into it!” Released last July, The Fall of Ideals garnered ALL THAT REMAINS serious praise from the press. Metal bible Kerrang said the album, “bears all the hallmarks of a classic…the musicianship is stunning…ruthlessly precise and powerful”, while the band’s hometown paper, Springfield, Mass.’ The Republican, referred to the album as “potent…a wild ride, one that’s metal to the core without abandoning musical virtuosity and a keen sense of melody.” Since ALL THAT REMAINS’ first album was released in 2002, the band has grown in leaps and bounds in every arena. They’ve gone from playing opening slots to headlining and selling out their very own tour this year and playing major rock festivals domestically and abroad - Ozzfest, Sounds of the Underground, Wacken: Open Air. The first single from The Fall of Ideals, “This Calling” could be heard all over the country on hard rock stations and the corresponding video could be seen on MTV and Fuse. The song also appeared in the major motion picture, “Saw 3.” “Six,” another track from the album is featured in the hit video game, “Guitar Hero 2.” ALL THAT REMAINS’ presence on MySpace.com has increased significantly – their number of friends has more than quadrupled in the past year alone. ALL THAT REMAINS will soon experience another first: the release of a live concert DVD in October. The DVD will feature live performances from the band’s recent show at Theater of the Living Arts in Philadelphia, as well as from their upcoming show in Baltimore at The Recher Theatre on July 12. ATR fans will also be treated to tons of bonus goodies on the new DVD, including behind the scenes footage, band and fan interviews, a live photo slideshow and all of the band’s videos. In other ALL THAT REMAINS news, July will find the hard-working band filming a video for the third single from The Fall of Ideals, “Not Alone”, in between tour dates. Director Soren will handle the shoot, having already produced videos for Unearth and Light This City. After a handful of domestic tour dates (including a special appearance on the Sounds of the Underground tour), the band heads to Mexico and then Europe through August, where they will pay several major festivals including the Wacken: Open Air Festival in Germany. Fan pages on MySpace from across the world have started sprouting on the social networking site, including sites from Japan, Germany, Mexico, and the United States.

World Management would like to announce that the Tapping The Vein will be mixing their upcoming release, for Nuclear Blast, with Neil Kernon, at RaxTrax in Chicago, IL starting July 14th 2007. "We're very excited to be working with Neil on this. Time and time again, on tour, we were told we sound much better live. I'd have to agree the band is heavier and more powerful live. I think we were able to capture that this time around with Neil,” says drummer Eric Fisher. “TTV took a new approach to the writing of this album and I am really pleased with the result. I think we've managed to streamline and ‘pump it up,’ so to speak, without sacrificing any of the emotional impact that we insist on," added vocalist Heather Thompson. Look for a 4th quarter 2007 release worldwide. The band and management are currently looking for touring and packaging ideas for late in the year and early 2008. Please contact worldentertainment@comcast.net with any ideas. Matt Mc Chesney is not leaving HELL WITHIN! To set the record straight Matt Mc Chesney is not leaving HELL WITHIN. Matt is helping THE AUTUMN OFFERING (Victory Records) out in a bad situation. He is only recording an album for the THE AUTUMN OFFERING. They have no singer and they need to get a record done. It was wrong of the band to post "formerly of Hell Within"; he is not formerly of HELL WITHIN, Matt is in HELL WITHIN. HELL WITHIN is Matt's main band and THE AUTUMN OFFERING is a side project. HELL WITHIN will be touring with Matt on an East Coast run that is shaping up for August in support of their new record "Shadows Of Vanity". HELL WITHIN is not looking for another vocalist. HELL WITHIN with Matt as the lead man will see you soon. SHADOWS OF VANITY OUT NOW ON LIFEFORCE RECORDS 1. Shadows Of Vanity 2. My Exit In Red 3. Lay Down Your Arms 4. The Spiral 5.

Here are a few excerpts: Tell us a little bit about this new record and the progression from This Darkened Heart to The Fall of Ideals. Phil: When you listen to this record and the last record, you can hear similarities, but it definitely doesn’t sound like we’re just putting out the last record again. I think any artist strives to make music that doesn’t sound like anything else. I’m not saying that we don’t want to have people say, “Well this part reminds me of this,” because I think it’s cool and influences come from everywhere. With this record there is a lot of inspiration but it’s not from your typical sources, because we all listen to a lot of different styles of music. I listen to country music and a lot of garbage pop. I’m not a James Hetfield and want to go ahead and turn our band into a country band and our new album definitely isn’t country, but it’s just there’s a lot of good music out there. That stuff just fits right in. So you were the headbanger in high school with long hair and a Suffocation t-shirt? Phil: I did have long hair and I did own more than 1 Suffocation t-shirt. [laughs] In fact when I met Frank Mullen from Suffocation I got a little bit fan boyish. I’ll see him at shows and stuff and he’ll say, “Hey what’s going on?” and I’ll get like “Awww shucks...” I’m a big fan of his and think that he’s a phenomenal death metal vocalist. You wrote the majority of material on This Darkened Heart yourself. Has the writing process changed any with this release? Phil: A lot of this record was written by Olie, who probably wrote about 70% of this record. Then he would bring it to us and we’d work the rest of it as a band. It was very much a collaboration when it came to putting everything together. We’d put the songs into a computer and them move them around and chop them up a bit. With this record while we were writing, we had a lot of things happen on the business side where we went and got new management. That’s the stuff that I’ve always had a hand in and on the last record, even though I wrote the majority of the material, but it was still a collaboration. This time it wasn’t that I was relinquishing control, but it was just that I didn’t have as much time to write. A lot of the stuff that was written had been written months previous over the course of touring behind This Darkened Heart. To read the entire review, visit PureGrainAudio.com.

July 5th, 2007	THIRDMOON: Details of the new album! The new album of the Austrians around mastermind Wolfgang Rotbauer going to be published by Maintain Records this Fall shall be titled "Dimorphic Cynosure". The recording has been completed and the studio is busy with giving the ultimate touch to the mixing of the final production. Wolfgang himself announces the new Output as follows: "In any case it shall become the most agressive and at the same time the most melancholy Album Thirdmoons, ... textwise and musically my most emotional Album." To report back in good style and manner after a longer interruption of the Band`s creative activity the Album shall come out in limited number as Digipack. The idea derives from Wolfgang himself being a great fan of Digipacks while intending to combine same with extraordinary art work.

More details in this regard as well as the exact release date of "Dimorphic Cynosure" are not yet out. So, keep your eyes and ears open! LINKS: www.thirdmoon.at www.maintainrecords.com YAKUZA schedules release date for Transmutations Chicago's forward-thinking YAKUZA have confirmed the release date for the band's recently completed full-length, 'Transmutations,' due out August 7 through Prosthetic Records. A listening party will take in the band's hometown July 31 at The Liar's Club, details will be confirmed shortly. "Exploration, experimentation, riding the line between the familiar and the foreign; the essential elements for YAKUZA have already been established,” frontman Bruce Lamont says about the band's sound. “We are not interested in creating music that’s not easily definable. Our roots are firmly planted in metal - yes, but like life, the sounds here are not cut and dry. At times this record can be uplifting, cruel, celebratory and just downright fuckin’ mean." Utilizing producer and established multi-instrumentalist Sanford Parker (Rwake, Pelican, Minsk) for the recording of Transmutations, YAKUZA couldn’t be happier with the album’s end sound: “Sanford was great to work with,” Lamont says. “We really feel he has refined his craft over the past half a dozen recordings he's done. He’s known the band for a long time and helped with our last release, so he is already aware of our studio tendencies. With him the process felt almost effortless.” YAKUZA began demoing new material on February 28 at Semifour Studios in the band's hometown. 'Transmutations' was produced by Sanford Parker (Pelican, Minsk, Rwake), who made a guest appearance on the band's last release, 'Samsara'.
