The below update was posted by Saxon today:
Saxon has never been a lazy band and especially this year we have been extremely busy! After we played several festivals all across Europe and some great gigs together with Judas Priest and the very first Hamburg Metal Days – we have almost finished the new album. The mix is done and the mastering is almost finished. We have guys who are right now putting the last details together and working bits and pieces out for the artwork. Watch out for further news releases like album cover, track list, some more behind the scenes info etc.
Since most of album production work is done, the band can’t keep their feet still and have decided to play a very short Christmas run of 3 dates:
07.12.2012 CH Bern – Metal Christmas Festival
08.12.2012 NL Haarlem – Patronaat
09.12.2012 NL Roermund – ECI
We are looking forward to sharing the stage in Switzerland with our mates from Motörhead and Edguy and on the two Dutch shows we will be accompanied by Crimes Of Passion.
Everybody that comes to our two headliner shows will get little Christmas surprise and we will spoil you with at least one new song from the new album which we will perform live!
After that, the promotion machine starts; pre-listening sessions for journalists, interviews and, and, and…
So keep your eyes open because soon you will see the media full of new Saxon stuff!
It’s with deep regret we have to inform you of another two departures from The Haunted; guitarist Anders Björler and drummer Per Möller Jensen. No animosity whatsoever caused these events, nor are there any other feelings than that they will both be dearly missed. We wish them all the best in whatever, and wherever, their future endeavors will take them.
For all you who have any knowledge about the band, and know how to count, you will realize that there are only two band members left; Jonas and myself. We are still committed to the The Haunted. However, in the light of these recent events, we honestly don’t know what will happen. We hope for your appreciation of our current situation, and for your patience.
“I feel that I have come to the end of the line regarding THE HAUNTED. This is not a sudden or hasty decision. I have been contemplating it for the last couple of years. Peter’s departure earlier this year made me more certain than ever that I had reached my personal goal with THE HAUNTED, and that the time was right to call it quits.
I have enjoyed every bit of the ride. It’s been an overwhelming journey. I would like to thank the other band members especially, our crew through the years, and our fans worldwide for the experience and opportunity. Thank you so much! The memories will be with me forever.
I will of course continue writing music, but where that leads me?,simply too early to say.”
Anders
Words from Per:
“It’s been a good 13-year stint. All in all, I have no regrets.
My penchant for music, creating — as in digging deep — and practicing has never been at a higher peak than now. When you throw musical differences between members in with that, I started feeling unfulfilled. This is not pointing fingers at anybody, but rather just seeing, accepting and acting on that fact.
Thank you to everybody who has supported us over the years. I have countless memories from shows all over the world. I will cherish all that for the rest of my days, regardless. Thank you!
This is my station right here, this is where I choose to get off the train and pursue new challenges.
There will be new music shortly, some already written and recorded. News on this will follow at a later date.
I wish all the best to Jonas [Björler, bass], [Patrik] Jensen [guitar], Anders [Björler, guitar] and Peter.“

Sufosia the Southeastern European commercial thrash metal band based out of Croatian founded by Davor Garašić and Ozren Futivić in 2006 has tapped Dvs Artist Management to oversee the group’s business affairs.
Sufosia has gained major notoriety and was taken noticed by the global metal community in 2009 when they released their truly amazing cover version of the MEGADETH hit single Hanger 18 via YouTube, which could be streamed below. receiving well over 12,000 views in the first month of it’s release. with the growing number of 128,684 views to date.
By popular demand, Sufosia then took advantage of the digital platform in March of 2011 when they self released a Debut album entitled Inspiration Breakdown, which went on independently to sell around 2200 + copies worldwide.
Since then Sufosia have established themselves and continue to perform dozens of shows/festivals in Croatia, including a few in neighboring countries Hungary, Slovenia and continue to attract new fans daily.
Inspiration Breakdown contains 11 solid tracks chalk full of hooky guitar riffs, driving drum beats and catchy lyrics with a combination of mid-tempo thrash and melodic progressive metal, accompanied with face melting virtuous guitar work!
Video footage of Sufosia performing their second single Pain live on the national television broadcast, HRT-2 in Croatian can be streamed below
Sufosia is currently in the studio working on their untitled second album, tentatively due in 2013. a short clip of a pre-production demo recording of the brand new song ‘Even In My Darkest Days’ can be streamed below.
CHURCHBURN the musical collaboration between two of the undergrounds masters of misery Dave Suzuki, best known for his mesmerizing guitar work and brutal drumming in VITAL REMAINS and Ray McCaffrey, who carved out sonic drum patterns for SIN OF ANGELS and GRIEF have announced the addition of former CONFESSOR guitarist Shawn McCoy to groups ranks.
CHURCHBURN is very different from Vital Remains,” says Suzuki. Ray and I wanted to do something slow and heavy, just something pummeling to the listener.
McCaffrey commented, Dave and I are very pleased to have Shawn aboard and can not wait to start working with him on all our future material. in regards to are bass player situation. we may ask a couple of people but nothing set in stone, we’re looking to round out the line up by the end of this year.
Suzuki and McCaffrey have set out to share with the world their love of the Riff, Not only the most heavy but also the most haunting. Each song is crafted with the most sinister of intent. Churchburn wants the listener to feel a true sense of dread as the song progresses. This is only the beginning…
CHURCHBURN recently uploaded three demo tracks, Crown of Fallen Kings, Come Forth The Swarm, Kneel Upon Charred Remnants to their YouTube channel which could be streamed below.
The group is currently writing and demoing material for their Debut release tentatively due in early 2013 on a label to be announced
Multinational heavy metal band RAVEN LORD have revealed the cover art for their debut album, “Descent to the Underworld“. A brand new song “Black Friar“, can be streamed below. The track comes off the band’s new album, “Descent to the Underworld“, which will be released due in December 2012.
The CD was mixed by acclaimed Swedish producer Fredrik Nordström (AT THE GATES, ARCH ENEMY, NIGHTRAGE, IN FLAMES, DREAM EVIL, OPETH) and mastered by US mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum (SEPULTURA, HALFORD, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ANGRA, DOKKEN). The cover artwork for the effort (see below) was made by Caio Caldas “CadiesArt“, who has previously worked with DORO, PAUL D’IANNO, SEVEN KINGDOMS, DOMINANZ and VIOLET SUN, among others.
RAVEN LORD just recently added Joe Stump (HOLY HELL, REIGN OF TERROR) as their lead guitarist to their ranks.
Unashamedly wearing their heavy metal roots on their leather-studded sleeves, RAVEN LORD combine the classic metal feel of the past with the fresh aggression of the present. Thunderous bass lines, pounding drums and explosive riffs blend with distinct heavy, melodic vocals to create driving and memorable songs.
RAVEN LORD is:
Csaba Zvekan (KILLING MACHINE, SARDONYX, EMERGENCY) – Vocals
Joe Stump (HOLYHELL, REIGN OF TERROR) – Lead Guitar
George Karafotis (VERMILLION DAYS, OPERATION X) – Guitar
Jamie Mallender (TONY MARTIN) – Bass
Lawrence “Larry” Paterson (BLAZE BALEY, STUKA SQUADRON) – Drums
[to be announced] – Keyboards
Details of live dates, including some high-profile shows for the Summer 2013, are expected to be announced soon.
With the release of their second album – a respectful and innovative homage to Thrash Metal of the 80s and Death Metal of the 90’s – Plector calls it quits. With over 200,000 views on YouTube for the bands official videos: Alcoholic Refuge, Spiteful Love and their famous Flann-Hell Videos (tour video diaries) plus two hyped U.S. tours it is now over.
The album, “Punishment Day”, is brutal and playful, a sentiment of devotion to their heritage combined with the furiousity and pace that comes with modern Metal. The album was recorded in legendary Toontrack Studios with the band’s new bass player Patrik Wall (Apostasy) at the wheel and later on mixed and mastered by Ronnie Björnström (Zonaria, Apostasy, Live Elephant, Feral and many – many more) at equally legendary Garageland Studios. Needless to say, the albums sounds legendary. Armed with defined and heavy drums, a thick yet crisp bass sound, clear yet brutal guitars and last but not least – a vocal effort that’ll make the most chastened Death Metal fan fall flat of their chair.
Official release date for Europe and rest of the world is Wednesday, November 7 2012
The band performed their last gig ever at the record label’s own festival “Discouraged Festival” in his hometown of Umeå, 14-15 september.

Century Media Records is pleased to announce the signing of reformed Chicago death metallers BROKEN HOPE.
Jeremy Wagner, BH’s founder and chief lyricist/songwriter, comments: “For years, I wanted to write a new BROKEN HOPE album and see BH firmly placed with a new home. My dream came true as BROKEN HOPE just signed a worldwide deal with Century Media. I’ve harbored great appreciation for CM and its stellar roster of artists since ’88, and I’m extremely happy and grateful to see BROKEN HOPE become part of the CM family. My sincere thanks to Robert Kampf and Maurizio Iacono for embracing our musical art. Watch for a new, sick and über-ferocious BROKEN HOPE album to hit the globe in 2013!”
Bassist Shaun Glass adds: “After taking part of an amazing North American tour that saw the rebirth of BROKEN HOPE, we are excited to be part of the mighty Century Media family. We promise to unleash one brutal and classic BH album next year!”
BH was formed in 1988 by Wagner, while he was in high school. Shortly after formation, they recorded two demo tapes and signed with indie label, Grind-Core Records. Then in 1991, they released their debut album, Swamped In Gore, launching the band out of the underground and into the mainstream. From there, the band signed to Metal Blade Records and released three more albums, all stellar examples of BH’s fury, which etched their place in death-metal history.
After BH’s last album (1999′s Grotesque Blessings) and world tours, Wagner cleaned house and put BH into “metal hibernation” in 2000. On January 20, 2010, original BH vocalist Joe Ptacek tragically committed suicide. He was only 37 years old. Before his death, Ptacek met with Wagner and Glass and discussed the resurrection of BH. With Ptacek’s death, Wagner and Glass took time off to reconsider their next moves.
In 2012, BH signed with Hard Impact Management and vowed to make BH a full-time monster– forever. Wagner and Glass recruited longtime friend and GORGASM vocalist, Damian Leski, as their new vocalist, and shortly after marked their return on the highly successful Carnival of Death tour. BH’s high-intensity COD concerts received top-praise, and confirmed BH was back, and more rabid than ever. BH is currently booked for the 2013 editions of Extremefest (Germany) and Maryland Death Fest.
BH’s first decade was filled with non-stop writing, touring, and constant visibility. The next chapter in their career will be much the same.

Floor Jansen has updated her Blog from the Nightwish USA tour:
“Hello to you from our night liner! We are driving to our show in Fort Lauderdale. If I look outside I see nothing but beautiful green water lands. I tried to spot an alligator…did see some deer and the most amazing birds!
Last time I wrote was in Oklahoma City. Days fly by so fast I cannot believe we are about to do the last two shows of this USA tour already! In a weird way the show on Tuesday seems ages ago, and yesterday at the same time. Coming here feels the same. Time is like the Dali clocks, liquid, relentless.
But memories are timeless and fortunately I have beautiful ones to share with you. I just wish words could describe them better!
How can I tell you how amazing the show in Oklahoma was? Or in Austin? Or in New Orleans? There is something special about every show. A unique night, a magical ride that always ends too soon! And with a unique audience. Hundreds of wonderful people at the meet&greets every day. Thousands of sweating and rocking bodies; getting just as high on the music as we do.
We played ‘Ghost Love Score’ twice now. My favorite song! Goosebumps on my entire body every time I sing, “My fall will be for you”. Tears came to my eyes the second time we played it. First time I was thinking a bit more. Second time I only had to feel. Again, words are failing on me to describe the real emotion I had. But I have hope that the people who were that in New Orleans that night felt it too.
Back in Austin we went shopping at Congress Avenue. A street full of antique shops and other rare and funny stores. Lovely to be in places that sell stuff you cannot find anywhere else. We had a good time! (see the main picture of me)
The next morning we were in New Orleans. Tuomas, Troy and I had breakfast in a sushi restaurant, with a nice Japanese beer…a great start of a great day!
We took a stroll through the city afterwards. A unique atmosphere is there in those streets. Beautiful neo colonial houses, bars and restaurants everywhere, the Mississippi, the huge necklaces you that have a ritual of its own, the cigars. I bought one. I never smoke but an occasional (mild) cigar is something I can enjoy.
After a super show we left the venue and headed into town. We went to a famous bar that sells absinth… I tried it and it turned out so much nicer than I expected. The cigar and the drink together made me look like a femme fatale haha. We had the most amazing night off together. Really special!!!
For now, we have the two last shows coming up. I will miss this!!! But I also look forward to come home! I will go back to ReVamp songwriting because we have a planning to hold on to, album will come in March/April next year!!!!!! On the 4th of November the Nightwish shows continue in the UK. I am super exited to join them on the rest of the World Tour and the summer festivals in 2013!!!

Freewheeling frontman/keytar-player Chris Bowes had the following to say: “Ahoy there, you bunch of filthy North American pirates! This fall, ALESTORM is gonna be coming back to your shores for a huge-ass party and maybe a few shows, if we manage to stay sober long enough. Last time ’round during the Paganfest USA tour, we had a hell of a lot of fun, and this one is gonna be even better! Prepare to have your presidential elections ruined, and our sweaty scurvy-infested testicles smeared all over your Thanksgiving dinners! See you soon!”
