ARCH ENEMY Guitarist's ARMAGEDDON Album Reissues!

The second ("Embrace The Mystery") and third ("Three") albums from ARMAGEDDON — the Swedish melodic metal project of ARCH ENEMY guitarist Chris Amott — will get a proper and domestic release outside of Japan, where they originally came out back in the years 2000 and 2002, respectively. "Embrace The Mystery & Three" will be released as 2CD set with upgraded artwork, several bonus tracks and liner notes on November 16, 2009 in Europe and on January 26 in North America via Century Media Records.

Commented Chris Amott: "It is with great pleasure that I announce the first time ever release of these albums in Europe and the U.S.! Any fan of melodic hard rock and shred guitar playing should check this out — 'Embrace the Mystery' and 'Three' feature many great instrumental performances and epic songs! These two albums were recorded in 2000 and 2002 and have until only been available in Japan. I put a lot of work into these recordings at the time, so I am glad to see them come out!"

Originally formed in Halmstad, Sweden in 1997, ARMAGEDDON was launched as a melodic death metal act, with the band's debut album, "Crossing The Rubicon", released via the now-defunct W.A.R. Records label in Europe and Toy's Factory in Japan. Next to guitarist and mastermind Chris Amott, the album also featured drummer Peter Wildoer (DARKANE, MAJESTIC, now also in PESTILENCE) and bassist Martin Bengtsson, who both then moved on to join ARCH ENEMY, recording, releasing and touring ARCH ENEMY's 1998 "Stigmata" release. Chris revisited ARMAGEDDON with 2000's "Embrace The Mystery" album, once again released in Japan on Toy's Factory but never available internationally. This album presented a rather melodic and traditional metal approach and featured LAST TRIBE member Rickard Bengtsson on vocals, Dick Lövgren on bass (now member of MESHUGGAH but previously a touring bassist for bands like EUCHARIST, ARCH ENEMY and IN FLAMES) as well as ARCH ENEMY drummer Daniel Erlandsson (also previously active with EUCHARIST and IN FLAMES and currently a member of the reunited CARCASS). Following the album's release, ARMAGEDDON supported IN FLAMES and THE HAUNTED on a Japanese tour, which remain the only live performances for the band until now. In 2002 ARMAGEDDON released its third and (so far) last album exclusively in Japan again. Simply entitled "Three", it showcases ARMAGEDDON as a three-piece, with Chris Amott handling all vocal duties next to playing guitar as well as Daniel Erlandsson on drums and new bassist Tobias Gustafsson (EUCHARIST).

The "Embrace The Mystery & Three" 2CD set marks the long-overdue international release of these two jewels of modern Scandinavian melodic metal, not only including the full original versions of both albums packaged in a revamped version of the original "Embrace The Mystery" artwork by Niklas Sundin (DARK TRANQUILLITY, ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES), but also comes with six special bonus tracks (demo and rehearsal songs as well as cover versions of IRON MAIDEN and MERCYFUL FATE) and liner notes by Chris Amott. "Embrace The Mystery & Three" isn't only an essential historical release for collectors of the mentioned main bands of the involved high-quality players but with its total of 26 tracks and 100-plus minutes of playing time it also represents a worthwhile purchase for supporters of the melodic metal genre in general!

U.S. Tour Rumor: SLAYER, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT...

SLAYER, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT and HIGH ON FIRE are rumored to be teaming up for a U.S. tour starting in February 2010. It should be noted, however, that this information has not yet been corroborated by an official source.

SLAYER was forced to postpone its "Canadian Carnage" tour with MEGADETH, which was due to begin on November 8. In addition, the band has cancelled its appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", which had been set for this Wednesday, November 4. More information will be released shortly regarding the rescheduling of the Canadian dates, as well as the "Kimmel" appearance.

SLAYER's Tom Araya is currently under the care of a specialist for a back injury, thought to be related to his on-stage activity, and the physician has ordered an immediate surgical procedure, which was to take place in Texas on Tuesday morning (November 3).

MEGADETH will embark on a U.S. tour with MACHINE HEAD and SUICIDE SILENCE starting on November 14 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Devin Townsend Returns To Touring Life

Devin Townsend triumphantly returns with a greatly ambitious new endeavor under the DTP (Devin Townsend Project) moniker. The new, mind-blowing disasterpiece takes the man’s genius to unprecedented levels as he embarks on a massive 4-part album series, which kicked off with Ki and is followed up with the Addicted album set for a Nov. 17th release in Canada through E1 Music Canada.



Townsend, easily one of metal’s most intriguing, ominous and immensely talented figures is taking this project to the masses as he will join genre visionaries Between The Buried and Me, Cynic and Scale The Summit for a massive North American trek which kicks off Jan 8th. The tour dates are below, and also be sure to head over to http://www.myspace.com/devintownsenddtb to crank the very interesting “Bend It Like Bender” track."



Townsend further describes his excitement over getting back on the road, “Yo cats, so I'm starting to tour again, officially. I have a great team together, and we are performing selections from all my solo albums. However, I will not be playing Strapping material. I love that band and everyone involved and respectfully leave the legacy. However, through all of my solo albums, (and the current Devin Townsend Project with the next record Deconstruction) you can count on there being a ton of heavy material. From Ziltoid, Physicist, Deconstruction etc, mixed with Addicted, Ki, Terria, Infinity, Ocean Machine etc.



“The first tour I'm doing to get my sea legs back is with Between The Buried And Me, who I met on Ozzfest and are a FANTASTIC band, Cynic, who I have been a fan of for many, many years and are masters, And Scale The Summit, a really cool new instrumental band. I am playing second, and it's a relatively short set, but for my first tour back it's a total honor. It will be a different style of performance for me, as there is no 'mask'. However, this incarnation is very different from the DTB (Devin Townsend BAND) this is definitely heavier...somewhere between SYL and DTB. And in truth, that’s pretty much where I feel I was meant to be all along. I'm honored to be invited on such a GREAT bill for the first tour back. Hopefully see you all then.



“The plans for the video for 'Bend It Like Bender' are currently underway, the director is none other than the mighty Konrad Palkewicz, who directed 'Almost Again' by STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, and 'Coast' off of Ki. It's an all animated affair that is not nearly as 'puffy' as the song, it's a mini movie with his incredible skills once again making my music seem much more poignant than it really is. I've seen some clips and it’s crazy good.”



Devin Townsend is back and has crafted the offerings of his much heralded career. Fans of hard rock, metal and overall interesting music take note because this material is going to touch your soul on multiple levels.

HYPOCRISY: Experiencing Trouble w/ U.S. Immigration

Legendary Swedish death metallers HYPOCRISY have issued the following statement in regards to their upcoming tour with ENSIFERUM that starts on Friday, November 6th:

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are forced to stay home until U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services process and authorize our working visas. This is the first time the band has faced a situation like this and it’s extremely frustrating, as well as depressing, since the last thing we want to do is disappoint our loyal fans who have waited years to see us live in the US. We filed for our visas with plenty of time, but as some probably don’t know, the US government has changed its rules when it comes to visas issued to artists so it’s become tougher. Even if we have already toured the US numerous times.



As it stands now, we are on stand-by mode and waiting to receive the green light. We hope it’s just a few days before that happens, in the meantime we want to apologize to all the fans that planned on going to see us tear shit up live. We will do our best to re-join the tour as soon as possible!”

HYPOCRISY have enlisted the help of CHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist/frontman Alexi Laiho to temporarily fill the vacant 2nd guitarist spot on their tour alongside ENSIFERUM, HYPOCRISY, EX DEO, BLACKGUARD, SWASHBUCKLE.

Lazarus A.D. joins up with Ensiferum's “Tour From Afar&

Lazarus A.D. has jumped on board for the upcoming Ensiferum tour! This is their first tour in the US since their trip to Japan to play Loud Park and will be followed by even more dates with Polish death metal legends, Vader!

Vocalist/bassist Jeff Paulick adds, “when the call came in about jumping on the Ensiferum tour. We set everything aside and rallied the troops. As you all know we have been home few months with our thumb up our asses (except for that little trip to Japan!), ever since Dan broke his hand. This is going to be a great tour an it's hitting cities we have played in the past and new cities we have yet to play. We are looking forward seeing old can't friends and making new friends. So you better break out the weed & beer - Lazarus A.D. is back on the mother f*$&^@# road.”

The Onslaught is out NOW and Lazarus A.D. is not a band to miss on tour! You can see their live video for Revolution right now on youtube.com/MetalBladeRecords.

“The thrash revival seems to have spawned two types of bands - retro sound-alikes and those who are looking to make the genre relevant now. Lazarus A.D. are one of the latter…” 4/5 stars, Revolver Magazine

“straightforward…engaging…Kill ‘Em All style climax.” Decibel Magazine

“These guys are the real deal…they sound like a hungrier Lamb of God.” The Daily News Mckeesport

Metal Blade Records Sign Montreal’s Barn Burner

From the metal loving city of Montreal comes one of the most killer riff machines this side of the 3 headed love child of Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Fu Manchu. Barn Burner have been cruising around Canada over the past few years spreading their love of the riff, good times and are ready to spread their beard encrusted rock to the rest of the world.

“It’s a total honor to be working with such a ruling label; it is one of those crucial goals that you strive for as a band. May our filthy beards and hair grow long together over the years and continue to put out crushing albums!” - Kevin Keegan, Barn Burner

Metal Blade Records will be giving their debut album, Bangers, its official world wide release in 2010. The album has already received tons of praise from press from Canada to the UK from the album’s original release via New Romance for Kids Records.

“Up tempo stoner rock like a cross between The Atomic Bitchwax, Fu Manchu and The Fucking Champs…excellent musicianship” Terrorizer Magazine

“If Steve Harris [yes, Iron Maiden's own] moved to Montreal and started eating poutine and joined Corrosion of Conformity I’d imagine it would sound a lot like this. It hasn’t left my constant rotation for weeks, and I presume it is there to stay.” AbsoluteUnderground.ca

“Montreal’s Barn Burner is one of the most impressive Sabbath-inspired bands we’ve heard in a long time. The band’s newest offering, Bangers (New Romance for Kids), is pure stoney mayhem. Comprised of heavy, minimal riffs, driving drums and major solos, this album will satiate any metal head’s yearning for primal rock.” ChronicYouth.com

Their debut record, Bangers, will be given its worldwide debut in early 2010. Keep your eyes peeled for tour dates to follow!

Barn Burner is:
Kevin Keegan - Guitar/Vocals
Marc Doucette - Guitar
Nick Ball - Bass
Taylor Freund - Drums

HELLOWEEN - Unarmed - Best Of 25th Anniversary Album

Long-running German power metal gods HELLOWEEN will release their Unarmed - Best Of 25th Anniversary album via Sony Music in co-op with SPV, on the following dates:

December 16th - Japan & Southeast Asia (JVC/Victor)
January 29th - Europe (Sony/SPV)

The release dates for North America will be announced soon.

The band have revealed the artwork for the album and have issued the following message:

"The artwork for the forthcoming album was once more made by Martin Haeusler who was already in charge of The Legacy and the Gambling With The Devil artwork. The photo shooting took place at a salt-lake near Los Angeles and a detailed making-of story will be featured here soon.

Unarmed will also be released in a limited version with a very special digi-pack, incl. a 30 min. making-of DVD, containing interviews and studio footage... also available will be a double vinyl version!"

A previous update from Helloween reads:

"Unarmed - Best Of 25th Anniversary is a big ‘thank-you’ to all our fans, old and new all over the world! Instead of putting together a regular greatest hits compilation featuring our most successful tracks to celebrate this anniversary, we completely rearranged and re-recorded the greatest songs and melodies of our career.

Together with our tried and tested producer, Charlie Bauerfeind, we invited many great musicians to guest on this special record, with the doubtless highlight of having the 70-piece Prague Symphonic Orchestra performing 'The Keeper's Trilogy', a 17 minute medley consisting of the songs 'Halloween', 'Keeper Of The Seven Keys' and 'The King for A 1000 Years' - goose bumps guaranteed!

Here's a list of all songs we recorded:

'Dr. Stein'
'Future World'
'If I Could Fly'
'Where The Rain Grows'
'The Keeper's Trilogy'
'Eagle Fly Free'
'Perfect Gentleman'
'Forever & One'
'I Want Out'
'Falling To Pieces'
'A Tale That Wasn't Right'

We aren’t one of those bands who like to celebrate themselves, we just want to say ‘thank you’ in our own special way to all of you who have followed us through the past 25 years - to us, this album stands for an official celebration.

It was a big challenge & great experience and we had a lot of fun recording our most important tracks in an entirely new ‘outfit’ and with new arrangements - we hope you like them!"

Further updates to follow.

SLAYER Postpones Canadian Carnage Dates With MEGADETH

It is with great regret that Slayer announces the postponement of its Canadian Carnage"our with MEGADETH, which was due to begin on November 8th.

In addition, the band announces the postponement of its appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which had been set for this Wednesday, November 4th. More information will be released shortly regarding the rescheduling of the Canadian dates, as well as the Kimmel appearance.

Slayer's Tom Araya is currently under the care of a specialist for a back injury, thought to be related to his on-stage activity, and the physician has ordered an immediate surgical procedure to take place in Texas tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

"What is foremost in our minds right now is that Tom do whatever he needs to to get this taken care of," said Slayer's Kerry King. "While all four of us are disappointed that we won't be able to see through all of our commitments set for the next few weeks, the most important thing is Tom's health. We thank the fans in Canada and here in L.A., the Megadeth camp, and everyone associated with Jimmy Kimmel Live for their understanding. We look forward to seeing you all soon."

Slayer's Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman and Dave Lombardo are looking forward to meeting their fans at a previously announced in-store appearance this Wednesday, November 4th at 3:30 PM at the Hot Topic store located at the Hollywood and Highland complex.

Slayer's new album, World Painted Blood, is streaming in its entirety at this location.

World Painted Blood will be released on Tuesday, November 3rd in North America, and today - Monday, November 2nd - to the rest of the world. World Painted Blood will initially ship with four special collector's edition CD covers. Each of the four covers will display one-fourth of a continental map illustrated with human skulls and bones; when placed together, the four images form a complete and grisly map of the world.

All four of the initial CD packages will include a special blood-red, see-through top panel with the map displayed beneath it.

The World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition will have its own special layout of the map cover art and will be in a double-digipak housed in a blood-red, see-through plastic sleeve. The Deluxe Edition will include the World Painted Blood CD, the Playing With Dolls DVD, a 20-minute animated graphic novel featuring music from the album (including part of a new non-album song), and an expanded booklet. There is also a vinyl version available.
