GORY BLISTER Debuts New Singer At METALFEST URI Festival; Video Available

Video footage of GORY BLISTER's October 31, 2009 performance at the Metalfest URI festival in Erstfeld, Switzerland. The gig marked the live debut of long-running Italian technical death metal band's new singer, Massimo "Massacre" Graglia (LAETA MORS) who joined GORY BLISTER this autumn.

GORY BLISTER released its latest album, "Graveyard of Angels", in April via Mascot Records. The follow-up to 2006's "Skymorphosis" contains nine tracks that "reach a very technical death metal made with old-school anger," according to the band.

Commented guitarist Raff: "This new record is the natural prosecution of GORY BLISTER's goal to mix old-school aggression, technical skills and progressive music into classic death metal. The sound has acquired a lot more personality; you'll always experience originality both in riffs and lyrics. As for the lyrics, they're written from a point of view inspired by the latest world events. In this concept, fantasy stories usually serve as a metaphor. The lyrics deal with the wickedness in human beings that slowly bring themselves to their own destruction."

DEVILDRIVER To Tour U.S. With SUFFOCATION ?

DEVILDRIVER To Tour U.S. With SUFFOCATION ?

Santa Barbara, California's DEVILDRIVER will hit the road in the U.S. for a five-week headlining trek from January 7 until February 13. According to singer Dez Fafara, "This tour will be what you've all been asking us to do! 'Put a heavy metal package together!' The bands coming along for the ride are ALL fucking heavy metal bands!"

Although the full lineup for DEVILDRIVER's headlining trek has not yet been announced, THY WILL BE DONE revealed from the stage at this past week's concert in Farmingdale, New York (with MACHINE HEAD) that they will be taking part in the tour, alongside SUFFOCATION and GOATWHORE. It should be noted, however, that this information has not yet been corroborated by an official source and should be treated as a rumor only at this point.

According to a new online post by DEVILDRIVER bassist Jon Miller, the Santa Barbara, California-based metallers have six songs "in the bag" for the group's forthcoming album, which they "are looking to record sooner than later." He added, "We want to go faster and heavier on this one to answer any question on a 'direction' that we may be undertaking."

DEVILDRIVER drummer John Boecklin elaborated further on the status of the songwriting sessions for the band's next CD. Writing on the group's official MySpace blog, Boecklin stated, "On our last record, I would say we stretched as far as we could outside of what we had done in the past, trying new and slower songs with vocal melody like 'It's In The Cards' or the rock like feel of songs like 'Back With A Vengeance' and 'Teach Me To Whisper'. For our latest effort, we feel like musically going for the throat, so to speak.

"Are we gonna make a death metal album? No! We always have a heavy emphasis on groove and hook. That will not change. We just feel we have a certain anger edge about us and the songs we are writing compared to our last one. It will not be rushed and if you are a fan, you will not be let down!!"

DEVILDRIVER is currently on the road in Europe with BEHEMOTH, SCAR SYMMETRY and ARSIS as part of the Neckbreakers Ball Tour.

Video footage of DEVILDRIVER's November 7, 2009 performance in Munich, Germany can be viewed below (courtesy of "eblinternational").

DEVILDRIVER's latest album, "Pray For Villains", sold around 14,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 35 on The Billboard 200 chart.

DEVILDRIVER's previous CD, 2007's "The Last Kind Words", shifted a little more than 14,000 copies during its first week of release to debut at No. 48 — around 40 percent more than the opening-week number of 2005's "The Fury of Our Maker's Hand", which premiered at No. 177 with sales of 10,400.

"Pray For Villains" was released on July 14 via Roadrunner Records. The effort — which was also made available as a special-edition CD/DVD package featuring three bonus tracks, a behind-the-scenes DVD and expanded artwork — was recorded at Edge of the Earth studios in Los Angeles with producer Logan Mader (FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, GOJIRA, DIVINE HERESY).

The CD, which was made available in July via Brazil's Marquee Records, was recorded at Rouge Valley Studio in Toronto, Ontario with engineer Darius Szczepaniak, who has previously worked with I MOTHER EARTH, SUM 41 and EDWIN, among many others. Guest musicians on the album include Jed Simon (ZIMMERS HOLE, TENET, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, ARMOROS), who "[laid] down a total whammy-bar barrage," and the band's old Scarborough metal comrade Dave Hewson (SLAUGHTER, STRAPPADO), who lent some guest vocals to "The Devil's Martyr".

The cover artwork for "The Ones I Condemn" can be viewed below.

Commented guitarist/vocalist Rob Urbinati: "Our recording process was real, so we didn't feel comfortable going too far into the digital realm for the cover. Our old friend, Kurt Bachman from BELIEVER, got us in touch with Michael 'Roz' Rosner, who does nothing but absolutely stunning work. Roz was into letting technology assist in creating art, not take over, and that is the same approach we take to music. Roz can make an image look beautiful, yet ugly; human yet inhuman; all awesome, unique imagery. The Eye Level studio team took our ideas and gave us a great cover."

BENEDICTION: South American Tour Postponed

BENEDICTION: South American Tour Postponed

Long-running Birmingham, U.K.-based extreme metallers BENEDICTION have been forced to postpone their previously announced South American tour in December due to visa issues. The band says, "We will still definitely be playing there but just need to sort the red-tape bollocks out first."

BENEDICTION's tour of South America was being organized by Open The Road and was to include dates in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Colombia. Sitting behind the kit for the tour was to be acclaimed British drummer Nick Barker (CRADLE OF FILTH, DIMMU BORGIR, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, BRUJERIA).

BENEDICTION's latest album, "Killing Music", was released in North America in September 2008 via Locomotive Records. The follow-up to 2001's "Organized Chaos" was produced by ANAAL NATHRAKH mastermind Mick Kenney and features several guest musicians, including Karl Willets (BOLT THROWER), Kelly Shaefer (ATHEIST), Billy Gould (ex-FAITH NO MORE), The Fog (FROST), Markus Staiger (Nuclear Blast Records owner) and Thorsten Zahn from Metal Hammer Germany. A limited-edition version of the album includes two bonus tracks and a DVD.

SHADOW GALLERY Films 'Gold Dust' Video

SHADOW GALLERY Films 'Gold Dust' Video

SHADOW GALLERY, widely considered a major and innovative force within the realms of progressive rock and metal, recently filmed a video for the song "Gold Dust". Photos from the video shoot can be found at www.shadowgallery.com. The track comes off the group's sixth studio effort, "Digital Ghosts", whcih was released on October 26 in Europe and November 3 in North America via InsideOut Music.

Commented SHADOW GALLERY's Brendt Allman: "'Gold Dust' is one of the first songs that I started writing for this new record. I just loved the D/ B flat/ E progression used in the chorus, then I just built the other parts around that. I knew that it could be a strong chorus and it turned out to be one of the best on the record. I particularly love the simplicity of the chord changes in the second half of the song, riding one note on the guitar in machine gun fashion while having pretty chord changes over the top of it. I love the fact that there are four lead vocalists on that section as well."

After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, SHADOW GALLERY's new CD introduces new vocalist Brian Ashland and not only sees the entire band once again sharing additional vocal duties but also features guest vocal appearances by Ralf Scheepers (PRIMAL FEAR) and Clay Barton (SUSPYRE) to complement the release. With "Digital Ghosts", SHADOW GALLERY's members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, Ashland and returning drummer Joe Nevolo (who appears on two songs of the record) have focused their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock as a transcendent work of musical art that advances the boundaries of these genres into new directions.

In addition to the to the regular CD and digital download version of "Digital Ghosts", there is a very special limited edition digipack released in Europe with expanded and slightly modified artwork as well as four special bonus tracks:

"Digital Ghosts" limited European digipack track listing:

01. With Honor
02. Venom
03. Pain
04. Gold Dust
05. Strong
06. Digital Ghost
07. Haunted
08. Two Shadows *
09. Gold Dust (Demo) *
10. In Your Window *
11. World Of Fantasy (Demo) *

* Bonus tracks

"Two Shadows" is a partly upgraded version of the Japan bonus track from the previous album "Room V", featuring vocals by former vocalist Mike Baker, who tragically passed away in October 2008. "Gold Dust (Demo)" features vocals by Carl-Cadden James, "In Your Window" is an A capella version of vocal harmonies of the album song "Digital Ghost", and "World Of Fantasy (Demo)" is a non-album song, also featuring vocals by Mike Baker.

SLIPKNOT Singer Weds In Las Vegas

SLIPKNOT Singer Weds In Las Vegas

According to People.com, SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor married Stephanie Luby this past Friday (November 13) at Las Vegas's Palms Hotel, where the wedding party walked down the aisle to METALLICA's "For Whom The Bell Tolls". 350 wedding guests packed the hotel's Pearl Concert Theater, including SUGAR RAY's Mark McGrath, as well as CAMP FREDDY's Dave Navarro and Billy Morrison, who acted as the minister. The rockers then all took the stage, and even the groom joined in on three songs.

This is Taylor's second marriage.

Taylor, 35, has two children: A daughter named Angie, born in 1992, and a son named Griffin, born in 2002, whom he had with his first wife, Scarlett.

Taylor divorced Scarlett — whom he married on March 11, 2004 in a small ceremony at the Botanical center in Des Moines, Iowa — in early 2007. In the November 2008 issue of Revolver magazine, he is quoted as saying, "After I got sober, I realized my relationship wasn't right for me. My wife and I had damaged each other too much."

Video footage of Corey and Stephanie Luby during a recent appearance on the nationally syndicated "Loveline" radio show with hosts Stryker and Dr. Drew Pinsky can be viewed below

News From Be'lakor

Firstly, cheers for your ongoing support. Stone’s Reach has been out for a few months now, and the feedback has been incredible! The hours upon hours of work during Jan / Feb / March of this year through the recording and mixing process have more than been made up for by the response from the fans out there who are enjoying the music. So, thanks! \m/

Over the next month, keep an eye out for some cool Be’lakor stuff in various press and media sources. Germany’s Legacy Magazine will be publishing an interview with us, and there will be a review in Metal Hammer Magazine. You might also have seen that we recently had “Aspect” featured on a Terrorizer compilation CD, and an edited version of “From Scythe to Sceptre” on a Legacy Magazine compilation. To fill the time while you wait for the Legacy Interview to surface, you can read a recent interview that we did with Masterful Magazine
here: http://masterful-magazine.com/wywiad.php?wyw=656
A further interview will soon be appearing at www.metalreview.com

Anyway, onto other matters – for those of you in or near Melbourne, there is a massive gig coming up. It will probably be our last gig for several months, unless something unexpected happens.

Details:

Saturday October 31st – The Espy – with The Berzerker. \m/
More info on the gig, along with the poster, can be found here:

The Album was recorded at famed Berno Studios in Sweden by Henrik Larsson (Amon Amarth, The Haunted, God Dethroned, Deranged, Driller Killer, Vomitory, ...) for a crystal clear yet powerful final result.

The sophomore release really shows the progression in the band with killer musicianship and arrangements which keeps the listener eager to hear what's next.

Arkaik - Reflection within dissonance Released on 2010

Arkaik - Reflection within dissonance Released on 2010

The highly anticipated, long awaited debut from California based Arkaik is here!
ARKAIK was formed in 2004 by Chance Strickland (guitars) and Jared Christianson (vocals) with the intention of creating innovative and creative death metal to take extreme music to the next level. After various lineup changes, at Corona's Showcase Theater they met Eric Cohen (bass guitar/backing vocals), who now also contributes to the writing process. They began the search for another guitar player that shared the same vision as them.

The band later found Craig Peters (Lead guitars/backing vocals), who fit the position perfectly by adding various guitar harmonies and his own style to the musical composition. After a rotating door of drummers, they met current drummer Keith Roylance, who's attitude and drumming ability brought the band to a whole new level
In early 2009 the band released a promo with their current line up. Just a couple of months later the band signed a 2 album deal with Unique Leader Records. Since then, the band has been more motivated then ever, getting slots for such shows as The LA Murderfest and The Summer Slaughter date in Anaheim. Since then, Arkaik has shared the stage with bands such as Dying Fetus, Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist, Suffocation and much more.

In July the band entered SeahorseSound Studios with engineer Samur Khouja to begin recording their debut album "Reflections Within Dissonance". The album was then mastered by Stefano Morabito of 16th Cellar Studios. The album consists of 10 tracks that blend brutality, technical fret work, sophisticated lyrics, creative bass lines, memorable grooves, powerful vocals, solos and much more! Expect big things from Arkaik who will definitely leave their mark in the technical/progressive metal scene. .

Current line-up
Jared Christiansen - Vocals
Chance Strickland - Lead, backing vocals
Eric Cohen - Bass
Keith Roylance - Drums
