CADAVERIA: Sophomore Album To Surface In January
CADAVERIA, the Italian band featuring former OPERA IX vocalist Cadaveria and ex-OPERA IX drummer/NECRODEATH vocalist Marçelo Santos (a.k.a. Flegias), have pushed back the release date of their sophomore album, "Far Away From Conformity", to January 12 through Scarlet Records. The follow-up to last year's "The Shadows' Madame" was recorded and mixed at Capitan Woofer Studio in Italy between May and July and was mastered at Mastering Room in Sweden. The complete track listing for "Far Away From Conformity" (view cover here) is as follows: 01. Blood And Confusion 02. Eleven Three O Three 03. Irreverent Elegy 04. The Divine Rapture 05. Omen Of Delirium 06. Call Me 07. Out Body Experience 08. Prayer Of Sorrow 09. Vox Of Anti-Time In other news, Cadaveria and CADAVERIA bassist Killer Bob (a.k.a. John) are currently recording an album for Italy's Nocturnal Music with their side project DYNABYTE. The band, whose music is said to be influenced by the likes of FEAR FACTORY, RAMMSTEIN and MARILYN MANSON, have posted their entire March 2002 demo, titled simply "Promo 2002", at their official web site. The songs available for download are as follows: 01. Dynabyte (mp3) 02. I Stand Still (mp3) 03. Immigrant Song (LED ZEPPELIN cover) (mp3) 04.

BYZANTINE Name Debut CD
West Virginia's BYZANTINE have set "The Fundamental Component" as the title for their debut album, due on February 10, 2004 through Prosthetic Records. "[At first] we were not going to even name the album," the band write on their web site. "Just let it be our self-titled debut. But, in order to draw distinction from the DK [Entertainment] European release, which is untitled and scheduled to come out who knows when, and also to have more marketing potential, we decided on naming it." Having cut their teeth touring and playing shows with everyone from LAMB OF GOD to NORA to LACUNA COIL, BYZANTINE will embark on a national run in early January. Exact cities and dates will be announced soon.
MORTIIS Begin Recording New Album
MORTIIS are currently holed up at Silvertone Studios in Fredrikstad, Norway with producer Vegard Blomberg working on new material for their forthcoming album. Work on the follow-up to the acclaimed "Smell Of Rain" album has been going well. "So far the studio has been totally right for us," said Mortiis. "Good vibes, good people and it's cool to finally be able to work in Pro Tools as well The sound really speaks for itself on that level, even though we're still totally on a 'work-in-progress' level." In a departure from the band's last album, MORTIIS have adopted a different approach to the recording, preferring to lock themselves away for short periods. Mortiis added, "I like the way we are working now, by coming in and living in the studio for a week at a time and just working on whatever we feel like working on at the moment. It is a much more creative environment compared to last time when I had to live as a squatter for months on end and went out and got drunk every day because I didn't want to go back to the flea infested mattress that was my home for several weeks. It feels good not to have to deal with that this time around." Working titles for the newly recorded tracks include: "Way Too Wicked", "The Grudge", "Twist The Knife" and "Broken Skin". "The songs so far sound a lot more certain of themselves and all around it is a lot harsher, a lot heavier. It contains the anger I was unable to vent last time around basically", said Mortiis. The new material is set to appear on what will be the band's third album for the Earache label, with a release scheduled for summer 2004. MORTIIS are Mortiis (vocals), Levi Troite (guitar), Asmund Sveinunggard (guitar) and Svein Traserud (drums).
HAMMERFALL Cheated Out Of U.S. Tour Earnings
Sweden's HAMMERFALL have been cheated out of their entire earnings from their U.S. tour last year, including all the merchandising money — in the amount of 250,000 Swedish kronor (approximately $32,000). "A person has stolen the money from the five-week-long tour, plus the money from the sales of t-shirts and other merchandise," HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak told the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet. Added vocalist Joacim Cans, "It took us several months to find this out. In addition, he stole the drums, the amplifiers, and all the other rental equipment [used during the tour]." HAMMERFALL's record company, Nuclear Blast Records, had recommended this person who was part of the tour entourage. "He came with good references, but he had an extreme split personality," Oscar said. "All of a sudden, he would become enraged [for no apparent reason]." When asked if they have reported this theft to the police, Joacim said, "That's up to our German management to handle. The police report has to be filed in the U.S. To everyone's surprise, the man recently showed up again [after not being seen for a while]. But he's spent all the money [he stole]. According to the booking agency [that was responsible for arranging the tour], he's promised to pay it back."
ANGEL DUST Vow To Carry On Despite Bassist's Departure
German power metallers ANGEL DUST have vowed to carry on with a new bassist following their acrimonious split with Frank Banx late last month. The group will commence the songwriting process for a new album in January, with a tentative summer 2004 release date planned. Writing to the band's official guestbook on October 29, Banx said, "I herewith declare that there will be no more ANGEL DUST albums in future, no more shows in future or any other kind of official appearance of [ANGEL DUST singer] Dirk Thurisch and me together because of [irreconcilable] personal and musical differences. I will release no pop music!! For details, please [refer to] my statement from late July last year. "Those who believe that I destroyed ANGEL DUST should know that I left the band [of my own accord]. You can keep your ANGEL DUST. I will keep mine in memory." ANGEL DUST's last studio album, "Of Human Bondage", was released in 2002 through Century Media Records.

Review: Canadian juggernauts of bloated blackened sludge core have stirred their cauldron of creativity summoning nine new hymns of tortured, tyrannical drudgery akin to vintage Eye Hate God and Burning Witch. Label: Willowtip Tracks: 8 Length: 38:01 Harakiri - Twilight of the Idols $10.00ea. Review: Indiana’s Harakiri display explosive and violent US style grindcore with some guttural death metal touches. Much more brutal and grinding than any previous release this death/grind/hardcore hybrid will have fans of all styles seeking this disc out. Label: Willowtip Tracks: 10 Length: 27:28 Jesus Laceration - Of the Spirit and the Sun $8.00ea. Review: Debut release from Finnish one man band(?) but not with a drum machine. This is traditional black/death metal blend but with a little more melody which brings to mind Edge of Sanity. Label: Severe Tracks: 4 Length: 16:02 Kalibas - Enthusiastic Corruption of the Common Good $8.00ea. Review: The latest release from one of the best death/grind/hardcore crossover bands in the US. Label: Willowtip Tracks: 5 Length: 15:25 Kalibas - Product of Hard Living $10.00ea. Review: Kalibas are playing the noisy, chaotic style of grindcore that Relapse Records is eating up these days. They are similar to The Red Chord, only more straightforward and without the breakdowns and vocals have a death grind dual vocal attack with the guttural growls and the seering screams. Kataplexia - Morgues Reality $10.00ea. Review: The debut album from Kataplexia is chock full of gutteral death metal in the Columbian style, such as: Internal Suffering, Goretrade, and Purulent. The clear production and top-notch songwriting makes this band stand out of the crowd. Label: Severe Tracks: 8 Length: 27:04 Leng Tche - Man Made Predator $10.00ea. Review: The latest explosive gore/grind release from Belgian’s Leng Tche. Featuring members of Aborted! Label: Willowtip Tracks: 19 Length: 29:09 Mithras - Worlds Beyond the Veil $10.00ea. Review: Strictly reserved for fans of Morbid Angel’s “Formulas Fatal to the Flesh” album, Mithras have captured not only the guitar and drum tones but an aspect of their song writing as well. If you are in to MA and the like then you owe it to yourself to give this a listen. Label: Golden Lake Tracks: 13 Length: 67:41 Retch - Eat it Bitch T-shirt - $12.00ea. Size XL L XXL Description: Gray logo on front with Eat it Bitch on back in white. Sizes L, XL and XXL in stock!! Skitsystem - Allt E Skit $10.00ea. Review: Long running Swedish crust band featuring Tomas Lindberg ( ex-At the Gates, The Crown, and Lock Up to name a few). This CD compiles 3 long out of print releases from 1995 through 1997 which adds up to 19 tracks in all and puts the hard back in hardcore. Label: Barbarian Tracks: 19 Length: 39:36 Watchmaker - Kill Fucking Everyone $10.00ea. Review: This is a hard to categorize release. There are elements of death, black grind and even a little modern hardcore in the mix. All in all Watchmaker demonstrate the aural definition of angst. This is loud, raw and best of all violent!

SOULFLY: New CD To Be Mixed By TERRY DATE
SOULFLY have selected Terry Date (PANTERA, DEFTONES, MACHINE HEAD) to mix the follow-up to last year's "3", tentatively due in early 2004 through Roadrunner Records. The band, which currently consists of mainman Max Cavalera, guitarist Marc Rizzo (ex-ILL NINO), drummer Joe Nunez (STRIPPING THE PISTOL), and bassist Bobby Burns (ex-PRIMER 55 guitarist), have completed nine new tracks during sessions at The Saltmine Studios in Mesa, Arizona, with Cavalera himself once again handling the production duties.

While in Serbia, Cavalera will also record a song with the Belgrade-based ska-metal band EYESBURN for inclusion on the new SOULFLY album.

Also set to appear at the event is porn star Jenna Jameson.
German Black Metal Band Sued By The Catholic Church!
The ridiculous battle between the Holy Inquisition and "Germany's most Satanic metal act" ANCIENT CEREMONY has taken a new twist. After they were banned from performing at the Summer Breeze festival this past summer due to the "blasphemous" nature of their concept and lyrics, ANCIENT CEREMONY's founder/vocalist Chris Anderle has received a letter from the legal representatives of the Catholic church threatening to file a lawsuit against him for expressing his disdain for the church via a series of photos posted on the band's web site. The church's lawyers are demanding that Anderle either remove the pictures from the site or pay a fine of 10,000 euros. The group's lawyer is currently studying the matter. 11.06.2003
HATEBREED's 'The Rise of Brutality' Enters BILLBOARD Chart At No. 30
HATEBREED's "Rise Of Brutality" has shifted 32,515 copies in its first week of release to debut at position No. 30 on The Billboard 200 chart. The follow-up to last year's "Perseverance" was recorded at Planet Z studios in Massachusetts with producer Zeuss (SHADOWS FALL, SWORN ENEMY) and was mixed at Armoury Studios in Vancouver, B.C. with Mike Fraser (METALLICA, AC/DC). "Perseverance" has sold nearly 220,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. HATEBREED's 1997 debut, "Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire", has shifted more than 150,000 units.
SIX FEET UNDER's BARNES: 'CANNIBAL CORPSE Were Jealous Of Me'
SIX FEET UNDER singer Chris Barnes recently spoke to Music Incider about his departure from CANNIBAL CORPSE in the mid-'90s after a nine-year tenure with the group. "Those guys, I had less respect for them at a certain point in time because of how I felt I was being treated," he said. "I felt like I was being alienated almost, and not really respected for what I had accomplished within the band. I felt they were jealous of me, and those emotions came out in our personal behavior towards each other. I think that they wanted more say in what I was getting credit for. I didn't go at it to get credit for things. I went at it to create something on my end of things that was just as good as what they were creating with their music. It wasn't my fault that people wanted to talk to me about things, but I think they took it like that and it they took it on themselves to really want to tell me how to write things. They wanted to make me feel like I wasn't good enough, and I felt like I was writing good music. We would be in the studio, and they would decide that they didn't like what I had written. I was adamant. I felt that it was better than they could ever write, and over the years my stuff got way more respect than what they thought I could do, but what they thought I could do is what they wanted me to do, so I have to respect that. That's my whole circle. "I am much happier [now]. I am not stressed out about the people I am with. I am never stressed out about that. I am more stressed out about being able to get this band [SIX FEET UNDER] to overtake the world. To make the mark." Read the rest of the interview here
THE LEGION To Tour Europe In February
Swedish black/death metallers THE LEGION are planning a European tour that will kick off before the end of February. "We might also do a one-off gig in our hometown Jönköping together with INSISION sometime in January," the band write on their web site. "Still, neither the tour or the gig has been confirmed yet but you have been warned... More info coming any day!" THE LEGION's debut album, "Unseen To Creation", was released last month through France's Listenable Records. The CD, which was recorded at Abyss Studios with producer Tommy Tägtgren, features "ten songs of complex and eclectic black/death metal, ranging in style from MORBID ANGEL to SETHERIAL." The cover art was done by Kris Verwimp, who has previously worked with MARDUK, ABSU, and IMMORTAL, among others. "Unseen To Creation" will be available on a limited-edition gatefold green vinyl sometime next year. The exact release date will be announced soon.

[DreamOrNightmare] DREAM OR NIGHTMARE - CD update
Hello! Before getting into the latest on our recording, I want to thank everyone for joining the group; we definitely appreciate your support! Welcome to the realm of DREAM OR NIGHTMARE! Also, please see that the new official band contact address has changed. If anybody wants to get in touch with us via standard mail, the address is 6279 Second Ave. / Kent, OH 44240 (as it appears on the group page); we are no longer using the P.O. Box. All other contact info will remain the same. As far as the recording goes, we have completed the music and are now working on vocals and basic mixes. We're really happy with how everything's turning out, some new gear we just purchased for our studio is helping the sound a lot. Because of the unavoidable delays that we've had due to our recording this CD totally on our own (the computer crash, etc, etc....... a lot of you know the situations we've had to deal with), we've decided to go ahead and take the necessary time with the vocals, mixing, and mastering to make sure that we produce the best possible product we can. Since the CD is already behind schedule, we figure that we might as well take the extra time to make sure that things are done right (it would be foolish to rush what we're doing at this point). I want to thank everyone who has backed us, stuck with us, and stayed patient while we've been working on getting the new music ready for release. Our fans have always kicked ass and have never disappointed! Once you get the chance to check out our finished CD, you'll see that all the time and effort that was put in over these months has been worthwhile. This disc will be one of the most creative and original metal releases that you will hear anywhere (especially with both Jim and Dave doing lead vocals replacing the singer from our previous CD, and the way we are now incorporating some keyboards). As always, I'll keep you updated! Keep rockin' hard and heavy, Joe Sims *****Special thanks to the people at the "Music Universe" Yahoo Group and "Bahamakin" for making us their featured band!

ANAL CUNT's SETH PUTNAM: 'CHRIS BARNES Is A Pussy'
ANAL CUNT frontman Seth Putnam reportedly caused SIX FEET UNDER singer Chris Barnes to cut short his band's headlining performance at The Living Room in Providence, Rhode Island on October 24 by screaming obscenities at the former CANNIBAL CORPSE vocalist and challenging him to a fight. The following is Putnam's account of the incident, as posted on his official web site: "I'm always surprised about stuff like this. I figure a band as funny as SIX FEET UNDER would be booked into comedy clubs, but they keep insisting on doing shows at rock clubs. Anyways, since coming to the realization that [SIX FEET UNDER] are one of the funniest bands in the world last year, this has been the first time I've had the opportunity to see them. If you didn't know, ever since the whole incident with Chris Barnes 7 years ago (if you don't know about this, it's explained [here]), [SIX FEET UNDER] haven't played in Boston (that I know of, anyways). So, I went, by myself, to Rhode Island (60 miles/100km away) to see them, get a good laugh, and hope Chris Barnes would try and fight me by himself, or at least admit he's a pussy. I timed getting there badly, and got stuck seeing 2 of the opening bands. The first was BEHEMOTH. I heard their first CD years ago, and thought it was funny, kind of like IMPALED NORTHERN MOONFOREST with a drum machine (I never got past the first song, so I don't know if the whole CD is like this). I didn't like them. After about 30 minutes however, some big mouth was yelling at their soundman to shut the power off in a wigger-like fashion. I assumed he was with [SIX FEET UNDER]. I then noticed a HATEBREED laminated pass around his neck (HATEBREED weren't playing, he was just trying to look like he was an important homosexual or something), and thought, this guy is definitely gay enough to be with [SIX FEET UNDER]. I asked the poor soundman for BEHEMOTH if that toughguywigger type was with [SIX FEET UNDER], he said yes. Next up was SKINLESS. Lots of people have told me good things about them, and I was in jail with their roadie once, so I was mildly interested in seeing them. I didn't like them at all. Luckily, I got into a long conversation with someone, so I didn't really have to pay attention to them. They finally got off. Then [SIX FEET UNDER] came onstage to only about 50 people (there were maybe 150-200 people there during the previous bands). I stood right up front, in front of Chris Barnes, and was looking forward to seeing them. They opened with 'Bringer Of Blood', then did some other songs. After about 5-6 songs, they mysteriously stopped, and left the stage. According to the set list, there were around 10 songs left. Of course, somewhere during the course of the show, I yelled the chorus to 'Chris Barnes Is A Pussy' ('Chris Barnes Is A – Faggot'). All I can think of is that he was nervous, and afraid of me, and ran to his usual hiding spot (the tour bus). I yelled he was a faggot a couple more times outside the bus, then went home. I wish he could've at least finished the set before running away. Most people there had no idea why they stopped for no reason whatsoever. I explained to a couple people about our situation years earlier, and that he was a pussy, and had to run and hide in his tour bus. So, to wrap things up, 7 years later, Chris Barnes is still a pussy. At least they did 'Murdered In The Basement', my favorite song from the new CD. I wish they did a bunch of their hilarious cover songs. I think they should really consider doing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by QUEEN for their next CD. It could really show off Barnes' vocal range, plus, he's gay like Freddie Mercury, so it would make sense. I'll bet Freddie Mercury didn't run from all his fights.

Dean Guitars recently completed a NILE custom V guitar — a "beautiful" U.S.A. handmade V in transparent black flame maple burst. Mr. Dean Zelinsky personally hand-delivered the guitar to NILE guitarist/vocalist Karl Sanders at the Vic Theatre in Chicago and spent the evening hanging out with the band, taking pictures and enjoying the show. Read about it here. In other news, NILE have posted the following message on their official web site: "Currently we have a European tour upcoming, and then we will be finished with the touring for this record - and we are then looking forward to resting from a long and hard touring cycle, and then collectively writing and recording the next NILE album. This was our third and last U.S. tour in support of 'In their Darkened Shrines' and we appreciate everyone who came to see NILE on tour. Thanks for the metal! We will see you again on tour on the next record." Check out NILE's video for the track "Sarcophagus" at this location.

Producer ANDY SNEAP Outlines Upcoming Projects
Metal producer extraordinaire Andy Sneap (ARCH ENEMY, NEVERMORE, OPETH, MACHINE HEAD, SKINLAB) has posted the following update on his web site: "As you can see from the pics [Photo#1, Photo#2], we're slowly but surely getting there with the new studio. There's been no end of complications, but hopefully the control room will be getting fitted out by the end of next week. "The OPETH live at Shepherds Bush DVD is now complete. That's been tough, a lot of work, dealing with the film people, who seem to think they have priority all the time. Quite frustrating at times but its come out great, don't ask me for a track listing, I have no idea what the songs are called, just 'long one' and 'even longer one'. For the boffins who need to know, its encoded in both DTS and Dolby 5.1 + normal stereo mix. "STAMPIN' GROUND's 'A New Darkness Upon Us', has been getting great reviews across the board, KKKKK in Kerrang! a couple of weeks ago and 8/10 in Metal Hammer this week. "As far as upcoming work, couple of projects for the end of the year (providing I can get these builders off site), KILLSWITCH ENGAGE mix for second half of January, TESTAMENT looking at February then KREATOR after that. I'll keep you posted and get more pics of studio up asap."

TYPE O NEGATIVE ANNOUNCES A CO-HEADLINING TOUR WITH BLACK METAL'S CRADLE OF FILTH BAND ALSO TO CO-HEADLINE NEW JERSEY METAL AND HARDCORE FESTIVAL THIS NOVEMBER New York, NY: In terms of their sense of humor and their bleak 'n dreary outlook on life, TYPE O NEGATIVE couldn't get any blacker.

The tongues of heavy metal fans are wagging in anticipation over this supreme metal tour.

Rock Magazine CREEM To Publish Again
Long-defunct rock magazine Creem is making a comeback. Currently a web-only publication (www.creemmedia.com), Creem is expected be on store shelves in a print edition next spring, according to publisher Robert Matheu. Creem began in Detroit in March 1969 and ran monthly until folding in November 1988. A revival was launched in the early 1990s, but the publication largely lay dormant until fall 2000, when Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical movie "Almost Famous" was released, according to Billboard.com. Crowe wrote for Creem as a teenager under the editing of the late Lester Bangs, an eccentric, prolific writer who became synonymous with the publication. The film renewed interest in Bangs and Creem, and Matheu decided to try to restore luster to the magazine's name. He contacted the owners of the publication rights and obtained permission to bring it back.
MALEVOLENT CREATION: Drummer DAVE CULROSS Rejoins The Fold
Floridian death metallers MALEVOLENT CREATION have issued the following update: "It's been a while since we have had a news update so here it is. First off, the rumors concerning drummer Dave Culross rejoining MALEVOLENT CREATION are in fact very true!!!! We are very excited about working with Dave again and working on the next album with him. Other great news is that our next (9th) album will be released on Nuclear Blast Records worldwide. Nuclear Blast released our last album, 'The Will To Kill', in Europe and did a great job for us and we are happy to continue this relationship with them. Recording for the untitled 9th full-length will take place in February with producer Jean Francois Dagenais producing again with a June 2004 release date. MALEVOLENT CREATION are also confirmed to play next year's killer 'With Full Force' open air festival in Germany and are in negotiations with numerous other European summer festivals to promote the new album to be released in June 2004. In the works are a live album recorded in Brazil during our Brazilian tour in September and a DVD containing various footage throughout the band's 16-year career. It is taking a bit of time to sift through all this crazy shit but it will be worth it. Also, Roadrunner Records has just released a MALEVOLENT CREATION 'Best Of' CD containing 18 songs from our first 3 albums and a few other rarities. So if you you wanna know where it all started be sure to pick it up because trying to find those first 3 albums is hard these days. Our last 2 live shows in support of 'The Will To Kill' album will happen on December 13th and 14th here in Florida. "Well, that's it for now. We have an album we have to finish writing !!!.See you all in 2004!!!!!"

Police Called After MARILYN MANSON Cuts Show Short
TheKansasCityChannel.com reports that police were called out (KCTV Video) to control a crowd of concert-goers unhappy after MARILYN MANSON, featured attraction at a "Freakers Ball" event Thursday night (October 30), ended his show early when fans pushed down a barrier. According to accounts from people attending the concert at the Kansas City International Raceway, a security fence between the fans and the stage was pushed down twice, and after the second time the Manson band left the stage. Some of the fans began rushing toward the stage, upset that the concert had been cut short. Kansas City Police Capt. Robert Zimmerman said some threw bottles at off-duty police officers who were hired to provide security at the concert. "The crowd became unruly," he said. "We ended up calling in what we call a field force. It involved approximately 100 officers." The officers, some wearing protective helmets, came from nearby Independence and Lee's Summit as well as Kansas City. Some fans said irritant sprays were directed at them as police took action to control the crowd. Concert-goer Rodney Borden said that crews began taking down the band's equipment after the fence went down a second time and the musicians walked off. "Everybody started just getting all freaked out and rioting after that," he said. "Cop cars were getting smashed. Cops were trying to get everybody out of there, and people were just fighting back. They wouldn't do what they got to do, just leave." "It was like total chaos," said another young man. "People are nuts," said Darrick Knight. "That's why I don't go to rock concerts that much." The concert had started in the afternoon, and Manson's group was the last of six acts to perform. Zimmerman said about 12,000 people attended the concert. Ambulances were at the scene, but apparently there were only a few minor injuries. According to the MARILYN MANSON web site, the band is scheduled to perform in Dallas Friday night.

OPERATION ASPARAGUS PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 29TH
![]() FIRST “OFFICIAL” OPERATION ASPARGUS SHOW (FINALLY): If you thought Dick Delicious was stupid, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet! Jay aka Operation Asparagus is proud to announce the first ever “official” Operation Asparagus show. Some of you may have witnessed the handful of the guerilla gigs, but this is the first official show. It will be: FRIDAY NOVEMBER, 7TH 2003 NINE LIVE SALOON IN ATLANTA “We” will be headlining and hitting the stage around midnight. What is Operation Asparagus? It is a one man acoustic / electric / comedy / hiphop / who knows what-the-fuck show that features Jay (Dick Delicious) playing everything. Think Hasil Atkins on even more crack plus Ween, plus Zappa, plus Too Short – or something like that. Really, the whole thing is pretty hard to describe - it just has to be seen to be believed. If you are in Atlanta you should check it out. I am currently in the studio recording some demo material in my home studio. I will let you guys know as soon as it becomes available. Operation Asparagus: http://www.operationasparagus.com What about Dick Delicious? Dick D is no more. The good news is the box set, that was already a great deal, is now the SUPERBOX – all orders from the Dick Delicious site for a box set have now been upgraded to the SUPERBOX. Some of you that have bought CDs in recent months already know this. DICK DELICIOUS & THE TASTY TESTICLES SUPERBOX: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2568537872&category=1574 In Case You Didn’t Already Know: I have a part time “job” writing for Consumption Junction.

While it is not nearly as bad as waiting for the next Guns n’ Roses CD to get finished…there has been a pretty good lapse in time since the perils of Operation Hell On Earth, the demise of Dick Delicious, and the formation of Operation Asparagus. You would have thought that my luck had to improve, but if you thought that – you were wrong, so wrong. I actually spent most of this past summer and early fall either living on the lam, in jail, or awaiting a nasty court date that all stemmed from some troubles I had in a shit ass small town over seven years ago. Some of you may have read the first two chapters of The Good Ole Boy Network (now taken offline) on dickd.com, unfortunately, there is a third chapter. If you have some time, and want to read one to read one of the most fucked up stories ever about corrupt law enforcement, then grab a beer, sit back, enjoy my tale of abject human misery, and be happy that its not you: THE GOOD OLE BOY NETWORK So what’s this all about then? It’s about (Planet) Soperton – a.k.a. Treutlen County, GA. What the fuck is a Soberton? You might ask. Its the most fucked up place west of Afghanistan; nestled at the crossroads of Deliverance and Midnight Express, where the clocks have been rolled back in time at least a half a century, while boasting a civil rights record that would make China blush. It’s a shit town with no industry, other than snagging minor drug offenders off three mile long stretch of interstate they’ve conveniently annexed, then financially / spiritually torturing them; and eventually putting them to work on their counties roads in prison chain gangs. It features a corrupt sheriff, cruel and unusual punishment, Ben Affleck, a haunted jail, crooked bondsman, the LSD, the FBI, mail fraud, corruption, corruption, and more corruption. If nothing else, maybe some of you sick fucks will learn something from my misfortune. Though you may reside in the United States, if you are on the right stretch of interstate, in the wrong county -- you are only one Terry Stop away from a legal twilight zone. September 11, 1997 - Happy Birthday Dude...You're fucked!! On September 11, 1997 I was traveling east on I-16 around 4 PM en route to Savahana to meet up with a band I played with (the Spo-its) we were going to New York to record and on the way back I was stopping in Myrtle Beach to do some surfing. I looked in my rear view mirror to see a police car with flashing lights mounted in the grill signalling me to pull over. I started to think to myself, "this is going to be one short vacation." I pulled to the side of the road, stopped the car, and stepped out to speak with the officer in a co-operative and non-threatening manner. Without even telling me why I was being stopped, the officer asked me to step to the rear of the vehicle. He promptly began to frisk me - patting me down, feeling up my ball , and eventually sticking his hands directly in my pants where he retrieved about a half an ounce of marijuana and a 2 hits of LSD, all in one plastic bag. The amount of time that had elapsed between the actual stop and the discovery of the drugs was no more than two minutes. The reason given for the search of my person was the "my fly was unzipped". I was never read my rights at any point. I then was left in the back of his car, which was turned off, handcuffed for approximately two hours while the Sheriff arrived and they tore through my vehicle. I sat in back of the car in the blazing afternoon sun the entire time and the heat rose to the point where I nearly passed out. Following the search of by vehicle the Deputy returned to his cruiser and informed me that I was being charged with possession of LSD, possession of marijuana, speeding and DUI even though no sobriety tests were ever performed. At that point I was transported to the Truetlen County jail and booked. I was not given a phone call or an opportunity to seek council. I submitted to a urine test and answered questions under what I felt was pressure to the effect that things would get worse or I could get hurt if I didn't co-operate. September 12, 1997 - The Bondsman After spending one night in jail I was taken out of my cell and brought back into the Sheriff's office and was informed that by bail was $6,000. Sheriff Hooks introduced me to the local bondsman named Wesley Wadley. I did not make any calls asking for a bondsman, nor was I offered a choice of who I could use. Mr. Wadley explained that I could be released right if: 1. He could hold my 86 Ford F150 as a property bond, to be kept at the Sheriff's Department. 2. He would take the $450 dollars I had in my wallet at the jail. 3. Upon My return home I would have to send his and additional $1,200. He explained that I needed to put up at least $3,000 of money and property to get released. I'm not sure where this corrupt bastard learned his math, but last time I checked 10% of $6,000 is $600. Wanting to get out of jail, I agreed to what I believed to be his rather ridiculous conditions to get let out and upon my return home I sent the $1,200. All of the staff in the Sheriff's Department were fully aware of Mr. Wadley's activities. My initial thoughts were that they were that they were just taking my money, and that I may never see a court date - it was just a payoff. I didn't hire a lawyer, although the whole situation did seem odd at the time. November 1997 - Recovering My Vehicle I stayed in touch with Mr. Wadley and in November and asked to make arrangements to recover my truck because I needed it to get back and forth to work. In order to recover my truck Mr. Wadley asked that I bring an additional $1,600. I agreed and met him at the jail where my truck was and I paid him what he asked. Again, the Sheriff's Department was fully aware of this. At that time I asked about when my court date would be. They said they did not know, and I would be notified via mail. I have found out since that they do know when I would a least be scheduled for calender call, seeing as they only have Superior Court once every six months and the calender is set well in advance. March 18, 1998 - The Phone Call with Mr. Wadley I was at home on the night of March 18th when my phone rang about 11:00 PM. It was Mr. Wadley on the phone calling asking if I was ready to be in court the next morning at 8 AM. Keep in mind I live in Atlanta which is 3 hours from Soperton. At that time I had not received any notice from the court to appear. My address had not changed since my arrest and I get all of my other mail without difficulty. I told him I had not received notice, but I would come anyway. He was very understanding and explained that there must have been some kind of mistake. I told him I would be there, but he told me just to go to work and that he would see that I would get a continuance. He asked that I phone him the next day just to confirm. After ending the phone call, I called him again just to make sure that was OK. He assured me it was. March 19, 1998 - Phone Call with Mr. Wadley 2 The next day I contacted Mr. Wadley and he said everything was fine, and that I just needed to come in and sign some "continuance forms". I told him I would be in over the weekend, he said that would be fine. March 22, 1998 - The Scam I arrived at the Sheriff's Department on March 22 to sign the "papers". They asked me to step inside and proceeded to lock me up for failure to appear. I told them that I was told a continuance was filed. I asked to speak with Mr. Wadley and he explained that he had nothing to say to me. It was at that point that I realized I had been scammed. The reason my bail was so high was that they never planned on sending the court notice, so that my money would be forfeited when I did not appear. The Sheriff is the only one who can decide who can do bonds in a town and I am quite sure that he gets a cut of the action from Mr. Wadley. I'm sure the clerk or someone at the post office is also involved to make sure that the notices to not reach the proper destination. They decided to hold me on no bond and they took my money from the bond. March 23 thru March April 3, 1998 - County Jail Once again I was not given a phone call until Tuesday, March 24th at 8:30 PM. Two phone calls a week were only allowed on Tuesday and Thursday nights. I would seem that would make that almost impossible to get representation. That is what they want. They want you to lose hope and just take what they have to give. I was lucky enough to get a friend in Atlanta to hire a lawyer, Tommy Smith, from the area. He had to drive down and pay him, then the lawyer had to call the jail in order for me to speak with him, I still was not allowed to call anyone. During my two week stay in jail I was never given a toothbrush and we were fed only two meals a day which at times consisted of wild game. It's clear that the jail makes money by taking money from the state per inmate and profiting by giving inmates as little as possible. I have later come to find to find this is a common practice with the Georgia Department of Corrections. My first conversation with Mr. Smith was over the phone when I explained to him I felt I had been robbed by the bondsman and his associates and I was stuck in jail with no bail. He agreed to come down to the jail and meet me the next day. Several hours later one of the jailers (a guy named Jason about 18 years old and so inbred that he was related to himself) took me aside and began to yell at me about how that Mr. Wadley was an honest man and that he would never rip me off, and threatened me with violence if I didn't keep my mouth shut. It was then that I realized that they had listened in or taped my conversation with my lawyer. I am sure if this was investigated, one would find proof of this. On April 3 Mr. Smith got me a bond hearing with Judge H. Gibbs Flanders. Mr. Smith had gone to the clerks office where my notice to appear was still sitting there in my file. It was addressed to the correct address where I had been living for years, but was stamped with an "undeliverable to the address" stamp on it. Upon further investigation of the letter, we saw that it had never even been postmarked in Atlanta. There was no Atlanta post mark. Mr. Smith, Sheriff Wayne "Gator" Hooks, the DA, and myself all stood before the judge. Mr. Smith presented the Judge with the envelope and showed how it matched the address on my drivers license which they were holding. He said the fact that I hadn't received it was inexplicable. Sheriff Hooks acting as sort of a second prosecutor started interjecting that Mr. Wadley had called me and that I knew to be there. Mr. Wadley was not in the courtroom. This became the pattern for all future appearances; the Sheriff prosecuted me alongside the DA. For a The Judge agreed to let me go again on $10,000 bond after Mr. Hooks had a fit when he thought I might go free. It was then I realized Sheriff Hooks is Judge, Jury, and Executioner in Truetlen County. Everyone bows to his whims. Everyone is afraid of him. As a plea bargain the DA offered me 10 years probation and a fine on the LSD charge. I had just hired Mr. Smith he said to plead not guilty for the time being till he had a chance to look into the facts. If he didn't think we had a case, he agreed to accept the DA's offer. The DA did not oppose this. I was released when my bond was posted. When I returned home I had lost my job. May 1998 - Recovering Stolen Money Mr. Smith investigated Georgia bond laws and saw that Mr. Wadley had violated laws concerning bonds. A bondsman can not ask for more than 10% by law. He sent a letter to Mr. Wadley reminding him of the regulations and treating legal action if the money was not returned. Mr. Wadley, knowing he had been caught, sent Mr. Smith $2500 and the money was returned to me, minus my lawyers cut. June 1998 - The DA Shuffle Mr. Smith advised me to take the DA's offer. I said that was fine. Upon contacting the Truetlen DA's office they told my lawyer that that offer had never been made, and any plea would have to include jail time. I am quite sure the Sheriff was pulling the DA's strings and using the legal system to get back at me because he had to had back his cut of the money. I have never been convicted of any serious crime, and the best they DA could offer is 10 years probation, a stiff fine, and 120-180 in a detention center. I find it suspicious that the DA raised the ante after my confrontation with the bondsman. Once again, they are a tight group - the "good 'ol boy" network was in effect and I was fucked. July 1998 - Motion to Suppress Because no reasonable ground could be reached Mr. Smith filed a motion to suppress with the court. We wanted to plea out. The terms were just too unreasonable, and Mr. Smith (or any other lawyer) had actually heard of a plea agreement getting worse. Mr. Smith tried to question the validity of the stop. Officer Corban took the stand and his testimony did not match the actual events of the stop. In Mr. Corbans words "Mr. Quinlan stepped out of the vehicle, when asked what was in his pocket, he explained he has LSD and pot in his pocket and proceeded to reach for it himself and hand it over". He just recited to procedure for a proper "Terry Stop" verbatim. He lied. Knowing that if I was put on the stand it would be my word against his, and with no witnesses or cameras I did not take the stand and we lost the motion. August, 1998 - More Tricks In August of 1998 we were set for trial. Tommy had filed a leave of absence with the clerk for the entire month of August, as he would be in Europe. In August the court sent me a notice to appear for trial, even though my lawyer could not attend. I called Mr. Smith's law firm and they had my case continued. January, 1999 - The Sheriff Strikes Back When my trial neared in January I knew that we had to work out a deal with the DA. Through Mr. Smith we presented the DA and the Judge with a virtual mountain of evidence to show how much I had done for myself. By this time it was almost a year and a half after my initial arrest and I had stayed out of trouble. I presented the courts with 30+ page presentations filled with character references from clients and family, a letter of explanation, proof that I owned my own business, lists a AA/NA meeting I had attended, a professional drug evaluation, tax records, and results from clean drug tests. I also included contact information, so that everything in my package could be verified. I doubt anyone has brought so much to the table seeking a plea agreement in that county. Mr. Smith met with both the DA and the Judge, personally delivering the materials I had prepared. He negotiated with the DA to get the jail time dropped. Every time the two parties would almost reach a reasonable agreement the DA would call the Sheriff and the Sheriff would reject it and would insist that I serve 5 years in prison. All of my materials were never even presented to him, I've barley spoken 5 words to him, however, I did throw a wrench is his nice little money making scam and now he's using the courts as a vehicle to exact revenge. February 12, 1999 - My Day in Court When speaking with my lawyer before my court date he said I had three choices: 1. Take the case to trial. I was informed that the sheriff will get angry with juries that don't deliver guilty verdicts. The town is small and corrupt - I wouldn't stand a chance. If we lost I would get my five years. 2. I could plea "straight up" to the charges and throw myself at the mercy of the Judge who is also probably fears the Sheriff, and it could yield unpredictable results. 3. I could accept the "plea bargain" though it was unfair, excessive, and biased. At least then I would know the worst case scenario. Weighing my options I took the "plea bargain", seeing it as the less of three evils. I got 6 months in a boot camp, over $4,000 in fines, 10 years of probation, and a double suspension of my drivers license. Aftermath I began serving my time in boot camp in March. It was the most humiliating experience of my entire life...I broke my foot during my incarceration and was denied medical attention for weeks, among other horror stories of being locked up is South Georgia, the scope of which could be another full article. I was released in late July and was forced to start my whole life over again. Since then it has been nothing but an uphill battle, and I still am struggling to put the pieces of my life back together. The end result of my little run in with the Department of Corrections did not leave me feeling correct at all; the years of stress has given me a pretty negative outlook on life and a system system riddled with corruption. The advice I would have to give to anyone is: if you're driving to Savahana down I16 - don't let this happen to you...the railroad goes on, and on, and on... Part 2: March 1999 - July 1999 – Prison Boot Camp You might remember my last article "The Good Ole' Boy Network" before you read this one - where I went through an unbelievable amount of bullshit in a Truetlen County (a crooked corrupt county in South Georgia). Where I left you last I had just been sentenced to 6 months in a prison boot camp for a 1/4 oz. of when and 2 hits of LSD - first offense... On February 15, 1999 I was sentenced to 120-180 days in a Probation Detention Center (a PDC - Emanuel Probation Detention Center in Twin City, GA- near Swainsboro). I was allowed to stay free until I had to turn myself in to the Sheriffs Office at 8:30 AM in Soperton, GA. I stayed awake all night the night before and my friend Johny "Cold Beer" and my girlfriend started the 3.5 hour drive to South Georgia at 4AM. I arrived at the Sheriffs Office at 8AM and sat saying my last goodbyes to my girlfriend until 8:30 when this inbred Deputy Sheriff told me it was time to go and put me in the back of a cop car. I wasn't handcuffed and I rode in the front seat of the deputy's car with a police dog in the back. On the way he stopped at a county garage and went inside to get oil and left me in the car with it running, upon arrival to the center this moron left me outside (again with the car running) for another 20 minutes. Either time I could have just gotten behind the wheel and driver the fuck out of there - this is the kind of idiots we are dealing with here. When he came back he drove the car around to the intake area, where I was greeted by a Department of Corrections Sergant who looked like he was the mutated offspring of the banjo boy from "Deliverance". Before I even stepped out of the car the verbal abuse began - he began insulting me, degrading me, threatening me, and giving me orders military style ("sir yes sir" and all that BS) that was just the beginning of a hazing process that would make a drunken frat hazing look like an ettiquite class. I was stripped searched, de-loused and went through just about every kind of physical humiliation you could imagine, then they made me stand in a room at attention for about 4 hours with several other inmates staring at a wall with a sign on it that had the 12 "General Orders" and read it over and over again. I stood at attention the whole first day as they went through the intake process, and then I was admitted to the general population. The whole first week we had to sit in a room with the other new inmates while staff member after staff member came in and explained the "program" and continued the cycle of abuse. My only contact with the outside world consisted of letters and one 10 minute phone call on Monday night once a week. Summer was coming, it was South Georgia, there was no air conditioning, and we had to spend all day dressed in hot jumpsuits at all times. The staff was on your ass 24/7 over one thing or another - punishment was swift and severe. You had to shave every whisker off your face each morning with a shitty disposable razor that was only replaced once a week. Every day at 6AM, 8AM, 10AM, 11:30AM, 2PM, 5PM, 6:30 PM, and 9:30PM the entire inmate population would have to stand at attention silently by their bunks while the staff took about 20 minutes to walk around the center and do a count of the inmates. Each Friday there was major inspections - sometimes you would have to stand at attention for 2-3 hours. After the first week I began work on the "chain gang" - doing various shitty jobs no slack jawed yokel would do around there even for money (Twin Cities is not exactly an employment mecca) - cleaning up around the dump, dumpster diving, and clearing land. The inmate labor is contracted out to the surrounding counties for less money then they would have to pay than if they actually gave some redneck a job. Then, at the end of an 8 or nine hour shift, we would return to the center, get strip searched to make sure you didn't bring anything back in (anyone who would take a job where you have to look up other guy's asses every day is definently a butt pirate) , would be forced to go on a 4.5 mile forced run, endured more abuse from the staff (locker searches, inspections, drills), eat dinner (yum!! - I lost about 20 pounds), do more miliary drills, get about 30 minutes of free time - then lights out - they got you up at 5:30 AM each day. One thing I never understood about the concept of the chaingang is how it serves the interest of public safety sending 12 pissed off felons out in the community with axes with one unarmed correction officer. At several points during my incarceration I thought about just cutting his head off and going home. On my fourth week there I broke my right foot while jogging on Sunday night. The pain was so serious I could barley walk and other inmates helped carry me inside. I reported my injury to medical first thing the next morning. After a very brief examination of my injury the nurse told me that "I was faking it and if I was getting paid 10 dollars and hour to go out and work that I wouldn't be coming to her with this crap" and sent me off to work on the chaingang again that day. That day I mowed a field (probably 200 yards x 200 yards) with a heavy push lawn mower for 8 hours and a broken foot, all while this sadistic corrections officers sat in the shade, chewed tobacco, laughed at me, and threatened me with disciplinary action if I didn't pick up the pace. The next day my foot had swollen up so much I couldn't barley put on my shoe. Again I went to medical, only to be told that there was nothing wrong with me, and I was sent back into slavery for the day. This went on day after day for a week until I finally convinced them that something was wrong and I was excused from the chain gang, but for some stupid reason I still had to go on the 4.5 mile run each afternoon, stand at attention 8 times a day, and do the military drills. While the rest of the inmates went out to work they made me sit in a room facing a wall for nine hours a day in a chair - no reading, no sleeping - nothing - just sitting there. Finally two and a half weeks later I finally convinced them to get me an X-Ray. They transported me to Riedsville Maximum Security Prison, and the x-ray confirmed what I had been saying all along - my foot was fractured. So for the last 14 days I had been marching, doing 4.5 mile runs, and standing at attention on a broken foot. My leg was put in a cast and I walked with the aid of crutches. For the next 6 weeks every day while the other inmates went out to work I sat like a vegetable in the room 9 or 10 hours a day - after a while I was looking forward to returning to life as a slave. After six weeks they removed my cast and sent me straight back on the chain gang, no period of recovery - I still could barley walk because my foot was so stiff, but I was glad not to be sitting in that god damned room while time ebbed. After a few more weeks I had about a month or so of my sentence to complete and disaster struck again. The inmates are housed in four dorms (60 prisoners to a dorm) and one day the trash can in the dorm caught on fire because someone left a burning cigarette in the trash (it was forbidden to smoke in the dorms). I was the first to spot it and took the cover off in an attempt to extinguish it. I put the fire out, but the room still was blue with smoke - a guard came in and asked what the hell was going on. There was no way out of it so I explained what had happened. The guard got really pissed off and made the whole dorm line up. Everyone in the dorm was to be punished, unless someone came forward and turned in the person who started the fire. Some of the other inmates tried to blame me for starting the fire because I had explained the obvious to the guard, and they said I was a "snitch". These same inmates all made written statements saying they saw me put the cigarette in the trash, even though I don't smoke. I was the scapegoat for the fire. After the warden read the statements, I was sent to the hole (24 hour a day solitary lockdown) for starting the fire. While in the hole, the warden came in and explained that he was planning on revoking the remainder of my probation (10 years) and sending my to prison for destruction of state property. I was terrified...here I was with no contact with anyone who could exonerate me and a bunch of stupid happy cons happy that they aren't the ones going down for it laying around in the dorms. Other than the fear of going up the river for 10 years, in a kind of sick way - in liked the hole. It gave me a chance to catch up on my masturbation, I didn't have to deal with anyone else, and the staff stayed out of your face. After about a week of being in the hole you begin to forget if it's night or day. You are in a room with a steel bed, a toilet, a sink, and an intercom that would go to the main control room. Every once in a while I would get on the intercom, in what I thought was the middle of the night and fuck with the corrections officers, saying something like: "Good evening and thanks for listening to W-HOLE Radio being broadcast from lovely segregation unit #2 here in scenic Twin Cities, GA...Today in news: well, we have no idea what happened. Today in sports: we have no idea who played. Today's weather: we have no idea, we haven't been outside. The weather in the hole is a balmy 80 degrees and will remain that way through the rest of today, next week, and next year...and now for a brief selection from Kenny G doing 'Just the Two of Us'." Then a voice would blare back at me to shut the fuck up...but what the hell are they gonna do - throw me in the hole? After a week and a half some other inmates finally came forward and signed statements that I wasn't the one who started the fire and I was let out of the hole. I spent the last month or so of my sentence just dealing with the usual day to day bullshit and slavery until Friday, July 16th when I was released. At 8:30 AM they let me walk out the front door where I was met by my useless piece of shit ex-girlfriend (who had been fucking my even more useless piece of shit best friend the whole time I was in), and I was a free man again...YAY!! I'll tell you one thing the Georgia Department of Corrections left me feeling anything but correct...oh well...life sucks then you die, go to hell, and get screwed again... Part III: Soperton Strikes Back July 16th 1999 – March 2001 – Probation Upon, being released from jail I am placed on Fulton County probation, which I complete to maximum length on supervision (2 years) and am allowed to serve the remainder of my probation on unsupervised (administrative) status out of Treutlen County. During this time, frustrated by the previous injustices, I write and publish on the internet my accounts of the events (seen above) of what occurred in Treutlen County. Meanwhile in Soperton on October 27th 2001, Sheriff Wayne Hooks and Deputy Ryan Grinner beat two men unconscious that were in their custody in front of a group of at least 20 people at a local Huddle House. Later, they attempted to in influence the witness’s testimony; and are indicted by the federal government on January 9th 2001. July 9th 2003 – Demons from The Past By this time it has been almost seven years after my initial arrest, five years after my conviction, and three years into my unsupervised probation status. One warm summer day I go to check my mail. There’s a letter in my mailbox address from the Soperton Probation Office. One or two times a year I receive one from them checking on my whereabouts to see if I changed employment, so I didn’t think this would be a big deal. I open it, and my heart sinks down to my feet. It’s says: “You are hereby ordered to report to the Soperton Probation office at 11AM, Monday July 14th or a warrant will be issued for your arrest.” My mind begins to race – “What the hell do they want with me after all of this time?” – I start to panic. I call down to Soperton to try to find out why they want to see me, but can’t get any details from them. Next, I call my attorney, Tommy Smith, from the initial case to see if he can get any information. I ask Tommy if he can accompany me to this visit. It happens, on that very day, he was leaving the country for Spain and had already filed a leave of absence with the courts. I ask him what I should do, he tells me that he would attempt to call to see if they would reschedule the appointment. He calls, they very arrogantly deny his request, so he faxes in a letter showing his attached leave of absence, and tells them that we will have to reschedule upon his return. With no legal council available, and this hanging over my head, I decide the thing to do is to find the best lawyer that is available in the Atlanta area to see what they can do, seeing as Mr. Smith was able to do so little in the Soperton legal vacuum the first time through. I am referred through a friend to Jack Cook, an older and very well respected lawyer in the Atlanta metro area. I make an appointment with him the next morning. July 10th 2003 – Meeting With Jackson Cook The next morning at Mr. Cook’s office I again explain my situation to see if he can help. I explain that I have been released to unsupervised probation, have not been arrested, and stressed that fast that I had not been in trouble for anything since I the original crime on September 11th of 1997. He calls down to Soperton again and asks for a reason that I am expected to make a 400 mile round trip. Again, no explanation is given from the very arrogant attitude from Mrs. Gillis. He asks if he can speak to one of her superiors, and is referred to another person in the probation office. In his opinion, the fact that they would not give a reason for my appearance coupled with past troubles and my flawless record on probation advised me not to go down there, and said that he would write the judge to ask for a continence. That day a letter was fedexed to Treutlen County regarding this. July 14th – Pins and Needles On that advice of jack cook I did not show up for my probation appointment. I decided that I’d would get some insurance, just in case they were going to try to say that my reason for not showing up was some kind of attempt to elude a drug test, so I went to Any Lab Test (a private screening clinic, whose test are approved my the Atlanta probation office), submitted to a drug screen, and tested negative. Mr. Cook advised me not to be at my residence on the 14th, just in case they sent a deputy directly up to get me. July 14th – 21st – On the Lamb? Not knowing weather or not a warrant had been issued for my arrest - I spent much of the next week sleeping at my office and trying to avoid my house while I waited for a decision from the judge. On the morning of the 21st I called Mr. Cook and he indicated to me that the judge had called him back and told him that it would be fine to wait until Mr. Smith was back in the country to do the probation visit. Awesome, the pressure is off…maybe everything will be ok? Until… August 10th – Vacation On the afternoon of the 10th I call to check on how everything was going. I wanted to know when Tommy would be back in the states and when I should go down. I was told by the secretary at Jack’s office that he would be on vacation until the end of the week. I had a bad feeling because… August 11th – Visit from the Dekalb County goon squad About 5 in the morning I hear a rap, rap, rap at my back door. It’s the Dekalb county police and the have a warrant for my arrest signed from the good folks over in Treutlen County for my arrest. I try to explain, in vain, that it all had to be a mistake and that my lawyers had handled this. They state “Yeah man – sure – we hear that kind of shit all the time.” I am taken to a holding cell where I stay till early afternoon what I am picked u by my arch nemesis himself, sheriff Wallace Wayne hooks and am transferred down to the Treutlen county jail. AUGUST 11TH TILL SEPTEMBER 5TH - INCARCERATION August 12th – Attack of the urine Nazi Immediately fir the thing the next morning Mrs. Thalia Gillis comes up to my cell requesting a urine screen – which I turn up negative for, with the exception of benzodipines – which is a metabolite on xanax which I have prescription for and I explain that. August 18th – 21st – Nero Play’s His Fiddle While Soperton Burns While incarcerated in the Treutlen Count jail the trial of Wayne hooks and Deputy Ryan Griner begins for three federal felony changes of deprivation of civil rights while in custody. Ironically, I am locked up in the jail above the sheriff’s office as this all happens. There is a lot of speculation that he will win the trial seeing as of the twenty or so witnesses to the incident – only one waitress could make it to court to testify. While this whore circus is going on – the whole town is shut down and there is no court, leaving me hanging. August 22nd – Ever Dog Has His Day On the Friday morning the jury gets back with its verdict, finding the good sheriff guiltily on both counts of felony civil rights violations. He is forced to vacate his job of 18 years, which is promptly filled by his cousin. August 23rd – 4th Delays, delays, delays… The exodus of the sheriff apparently makes it so the whole town ceases functioning. Court is put off for two weeks while the changes take place. September 5th – Finally, May Day in Court On the morning of Friday the 5th, I am finally given a court date. My lawyer (very expensively) comes down from Atlanta and meets my attorney in Vidalia for the hearing. Mrs. Gillis (my probation officer), however decides that she can’t make it to the hearing. My lawyers ask the judge that I be released on my own recognizance, which he agrees to, and I am free to go. An October 3rd date is set for my hearing. October 3rd – Finally, finally my day in court… On the morning of Friday July 3rd both of my lawyers and me show up for court. The prosecutor, an abject dickhead, offers us a deal of “probation starting out with intense” – we decline the offer and the hearing proceeds. First my probation officer gets on the stand as a witness. The prosecutor asks why she asked my to come down to Soperton after so many years on unsupervised probation. The prosecution had printed out several pages from the dick delicious website – one of which depicts me doing a line of (coke) sugar off of our drummers head. My lawyer argue that since it is impossible t verify weather the photo has been doctored, the coke is real, that it not be entered to evidence (they were quite sure that it never would be admitted) Up to this time there was always some question in my mind as to weather the judge was in collusion with the powers that be in Soperton – as the hearing went on – the answer to that question became obvious – he was. The legal wrangling in court become quite intense, with the DA getting up and objecting to everything, and the judge agreeing to 90% of his objections. As the hearing went on, my lawyers twiddled the three charges down to just two, getting the DA to drop the “refusing to take a drug test charge” and “engaging in vicious habits” but were able to just barely technically argue that I had violated my probation by not showing up for the meeting and that there was no law that stated that I must be able to have a lawyer when showing up for a probation visit. My lawyer says that there is no need for further punishment in this case, seeing as it is just one minor violation in a seven year period, and that the remainder of my probation should be dropped. The judge decides to put me back on supervised probation for another year. Epilogue – Now, the year of probation is not the end of the world, but it leaves me open to have to keep going back down to Soperton every time that they want for the next five years. http://consumptionjunction.com/content/home_detail.asp?id=413&page=4At this time, we are waiting to go back to court for an appeal. Wow – if you’ve read this far. I’m amazed and don’t forgeforget: OPERATION ASPARAGUS FRIDAY NOVEMBER, 7TH 2003 NINE LIVE SALOON IN ATLANTA Werd Up, Jay
New Worm Spreads By Posing As Virus Fix
A new worm is making the rounds, which poses as a virus fix to tempt users to open the attached file. The worm, dubbed Sober by security firms, spreads via e-mail, contains a host of different subject lines in both German and English, and delivers its payload via an attached file that claims to be a fix for a bogus worm. Among the subject lines seen in copies of the worm are those that prey upon users' fears of security problems, such as "A worm is on your computer," "You have sent me a virus," and "New Sobig-Worm variation (please read)." The attached file can be disguised with .exe, .scr, .bat, or .pif extensions. Opening the file propagates the worm to the target PC. Sober has had its greatest impact in Europe, particularly the U.K. and Germany, and is currently considered a low or medium risk by most security firms. Symantec, for instance, ranks it as a '2' in its 1 through 5 scale

DEICIDE's Record Label: Canadian Border Incident Was 'A Misunderstanding'
DEICIDE's record label issued a statement today directly countering a newspaper report that the group's guitarist and a member of their road crew were arrested when they were found with drugs and weapons in a mobile home they were driving in upstate New York en route to Detroit from Canada. Buffalo News quoted a New York State Police source on Thursday as saying DEICIDE's Eric P. Hoffman, 35, of New Port Richey, Fla., was arrested on October 21 on charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, possession of a hypodermic needle and three misdemeanor charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance. Also reportedly arrested was Benjamin T. Boynton, 43, a member of the band's road crew (misidentified in the article as a member of DEICIDE), of Madras, Ore., who was charged Tuesday afternoon with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, felony marijuana possession, felony weapon possession and two misdemeanor counts of criminal possession of a weapon. Earache Records, who were apparently unaware of the Buffalo News report before they decided to comment on the incident, issued the following statement today as part of their weekly news update: "DEICIDE were forced to miss their October 21 show in Detroit, Michigan, due to a misunderstanding with officials at the Canadian border. According to frontman Glen Benton who was travelling separately from his three bandmates, Benton arrived at the Detroit venue in time for soundcheck, only to find drummer Steve Asheim and the Hoffman brothers nowhere in sight. It was soon revealed that the tardy parties were being detained by officials at the Canadian border and they would not make it to Detroit in time for the show. The men were held at the border over night and were finally released early the following morning, with no charges against them. DEICIDE would like to sincerely apologize to all the Detroit fans, and promise to make it up to them soon."

Dan is the man who set up our entire weekend mini-tour, and things were so hectic when we got back, wait, no, I'm just an ass...heh...anyway, sorry bout that Dan, really wasn't intentional. My bad. Thanks for everything, it was a killer trip. BAD NEWS Unfortunately, we have lost another player from AOD. J had decided that AOD is not what he wants anymore. As one of the founding members of AOD, this is a very sad time. If anyone knows a drummer that would be interested in trying out, please let us know...we just want to say good luck to Jason, he will be dearly missed in the band, but at least we still have him as a friend, which is all that matters.

PROTOTYPE SIGNS TO MASSACRE RECORDS GERMANY
PROTOTYPE SIGNS TO MASSACRE RECORDS GERMANY It's been a wild ride these few past weeks... First off, as you may or may not recall, we had relatively recently signed a contract to release "Trinity" in Europe via Insanity Records (Germany.) Well, a couple of weeks ago we got word from the label founder himself that he was no longer going to pursue the label due to financial constraints and was therefore releasing all of the bands from their contracts. This, as you may imagine, was a low blow to our (and Intromental Management's) efforts towards finally getting "Trinity" to Europe. As it turns out, some things are simply blessings in disguise :) MASSACRE RECORDS has decided to pick up where Insanity left off and release "Trinity" in Jan/Feb 2004!!!! Very special thanks go to Claus and Lars at Intromental for their persistence and hard work! PROTOTYPE TRACK ADDED TO MAJOR XBOX/PLAYSTATION GAME Prototype's unreleased song "Probe", in instrumental form, has been chosen to be featured in Activision's Spring 2004 release "MTX:Mototrax" game. The game will be available for Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube. We've been wanting to include our music in games for some time now, and this is a great one to get started on. We expect to get more of our stuff on other games in the future. Stay tuned for more news as it happens... VINCE KRAGEN KIRK PROTOTYPE www.prototypeonline.com

Another edition of the Hump Day Report.
Twelve Heads . . . yes I'm back with yet another edition of the Hump Day Report. I hope this one finds you searching your mom's medical book to find out what those sores are on your cock. No shows this weekend my brutal friends - so you'll have to curl up with a copy of "Unfit For Human Occupancy" and stick your tongue in the one you love. Oh yeah! Speaking of "Unfit" - why don't you buy a copy online right now? No - right fuckin' now! You can pick one up for only $9.99 or "Flesh of the Weak" for only $8.99. What about snagging either "Core Til Death" or "Core Til Death II" for only $6.66 each? What a deal! Go to the Heavycore Records online store and grab one now - or a custom Heavycore hoodie with your name on the front! Fuck yeah . . . www.lowtwelve.com/hcrecords.html Did you see the Brutality Report this past week? Oh it was a good one - you have to check it out if you missed it. We shot the extra footage for the upcoming Heavycore DVD "Roasting Posers Volume I" and it was one hell of a time! Check it out at >www.lowtwelve.com/2003-233.html if you want to see two hot chicks dancing on a table with the "Heavycore" anthem cranked in the background. It's a beautiful site! Speaking of "Roasting Posers Volume I" - you're going to just shit the bed when you check it out. Bands like Pro-Pain and Lividity are tearing it the fuck up live on this DVD and some incredible videos from regional maniacs like Slugtrail, Skeptik, Blessed with Pain, and Alchymist really blew my ass away. Of course our "Lines Drawn" video is on the release, and we even added the live "Heavycore" anthem from the recent Melissa benefit when brothers in Blessed with Pain, Alchymist, and The Breed of Sedition jumped up and joined in. There are tons of great bands from California, New Mexico, New York, Missouri, Maryland, and beyond. We have a few last minute bands coming in - but the total will be around 19 or 20. Be prepared for this one! Cover art from Jeff Gaither will be coming in very soon - I can't even wait to show you that. Speaking of Heavycore - we are nearing 1,000 members if you can believe that. How insane is that shit? We started it in 1999 and in four short years we've gathered 1,000 brothers in metal. It's incredible and I can't say enough how much I appreciate all of your support for Low Twelve and the many great Heavycore bands out there. Thank you! Go check out the site if you haven't for a while - the message board is really active and we are getting about 30,000 hits a month on it easily. During Core Wars 2003, we were getting 50,000 hits a month on the Heavycore site and 30,000 on the Low Twelve site simultaneously! That's a alot of people checking out some brutality my comrades. Go visit www.heavycore.org before I bitch slap you now! We are gearing up to record the music for "This Side Toward Enemy" as a meeting is being set up with the engineers who will be helping us track it. Craig Cole and Jim Bethel will be giving us a big hand and a friend of Wes' from Clinton will be doing all the drum stuff. It's going to be a collaboration of nastiness. We plan on mixing, producing, and mastering the cd ourselves from the sacred Low Twelve Command Center. Les, Wes, and I are totally pumped to lay this shit down - twelve songs with everything we've got poured into them. Fuckin' A. I'm going to cut this short - as the World Series is getting ready to crank up. Gotta see Clemens pitch his last game. Brutal Times Twelve, Pete Altieri www.lowtwelve.com www.heavycore.org www.ThisSideTowardEnemy.com

Meatjack Tour
This album is a bold offering, epic in sound, and one that will surely garner a huge amount of notice from the metal community. Meatjack have the mathy edge of Keelhaul, the in-you-face volume of Bongzilla, and the faintest strains of early Godflesh industrial noise. Dont read this comparison as a sleight against Meatjack at all, it is intended merely as a reference point, as the band as carved out a niche all their own. There is something exciting going on with this record, and it is a mandatory listen for any heavy music fan.

Be sure to check out the newest releases from The Locust, and Give Up The Ghost coming soon on Anti/Epitaph and EVR. www.deathwishinc.com>>>>>>>> - MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD "Our Lady Of Annihilation" 12"LP coming this November In partnership with Trustkill, Deathwish will be releasing Most Precious Blood's most controversial effort to date, "Our Lady Of Annihilation", on limited 12" vinyl on November 4th. From their lyrics and music straight down to their stark black and white aesthetics, you know where Most Precious Blood is from and where they stand. Their take-no-shit work ethic has become notorious and remains unparalleled. They are frighteningly focused and their touring schedule would even make Black Flag shudder. Most Precious Blood began in Brooklyn, New York during the summer of 2000 as a continuation of recently imploded Indecision; the former band of founding members Justin Brannan and Rachel Rosen. But as years went by, Most Precious Blood became its own animal with a new vision. MPB have created a unique style, which joins the intensity and rage of their NYHC mentors (Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front and the Cro-Mags) along with the dark and depressing aesthetics of bands like Sisters of Mercy and The Cure. Haunting melodies and heavier-than-gravity riffs have become Most Precious Blood's modus operandi. Most Precious Blood pride themselves on being musicians, which to them means being a fan of all styles of music. "As a musician I can find something to appreciate in just about any style you can throw at me". MPB have always worn their influences on their sleeves and have always preached the importance of knowing and embracing your "roots". "Our Lady Of Annihilation" gives musical nods to everyone from Sick Of It All to Bauhaus, so listen close. The band is now better than ever with Rob Fusco (ex- One King Down) on vocals. Rob joined the band in early 2003. Rob's unbridled energy and passion is a perfect fit for this band that was already boiling over with intensity. www.deathwishinc.com www.trustkill.comwww.mostpreciousblood.com >>>>>>>> - Deathwish needs photos and videos of our affiliated bands We are currently searching for photos and video footage of our affiliated bands.

THE BLINDING LIGHT "The Ascension Attempt" CD This is the brutal new album from South Dakota's metal monsters. This dynamic, poetic, textural, and intense full length album is sure to floor listeners worldwide with its aural power. You've been warned. 100 DEMONS Full Length CD/LP Connecticut has always been a breeding ground for heavy and menacing music. And after five years of progression, 100 DEMONS have risen to the forefront of the influential Connecticut hardcore community. Encapsulating a pure viciousness and ravenous intensity that few ever could achieve. The 100 DEMONS approach is utterly monstrous, equal parts hardcore intensity and gut wrenching metallic precision. Sicker, meaner, and outright harder than any of their contemporaries. Early 2004 will see this demon once again take flight. This November, 100 DEMONS will be entering Planet Z Studios with producer Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall) to record their new album to be released by Deathwish in February 2004. HOLYGHOST Debut CDEP RINGWORM's legendary front man, Human Furnace, is reborn. This time, even more evil and depraved in the form of HOLYGHOST. Calling this material heavy would be an understatement. Everything you'd expect from HF, with a twist of cain for good measure. HORROR SHOW "Vacation" 7"EP The highly anticipated sophmore 7"EP from HORROR SHOW. These songs were recorded just prior to Nicky Money being imprisoned. This material showcases the heart and strife that makes this great band so truly unforgettable. BREATHER RESIST Full Length CD BREATHER RESIST have been busier than ever. After finishing up some solo east coast dates in support of their "Only In The Morning" MCD/10"LP, they recently went out on a whirlwind 10 day tour with Converge and A Life Once Lost. Flooring audiences and winning supporters throughout the country. The band is now hard at work on the material which will become their new album. If their growth within the past year is any indication, their upcoming full length is sure to raise the bar for creativity throughout the entire independent music community. We have many other projects, including the launch of "Icarus" our sister label, coming in early 2004.

Band News ARCH ENEMY The Swedish quintet just wrapped up a European tour alongside labelmates Nevermore and immediately headed over to the U.S. to take part in the Jagermeister tour. The trek, featuring the almighty Slayer and Hatebreed, kicked off this past week and will run through November 29th. Ranking in at #6 on Billboard's New Artist Chart, #15 on Billboard's Top Independent Chart and #26 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart, ARCH ENEMY's newest offering, Anthems Of Rebellion, has been taking the metal underground by storm and is easily their most dynamic, aggressive and cohesive effort to date. Their new video for We Will Rise is currently in heavy rotation on Fuses Uranium and MTV2s Headbangers Ball and is a featured download on MTVs website. The track also appears on the Headbangers Ball double disc CD set comprised of 40 tracks of other groundbreaking artists. Following the Jagermeister tour the group will head back to the U.K. for a string of headlining dates leading to the end of the year. ARCH ENEMY plan to head back to the U.S. in mid-2004 to continue their onslaught. ARCH ENEMY - "We Will Rise" The best melodic death metal album of the year. --Alternative Press, September 2003 CARNAL FORGE After delivering one of their most relentless and savage offerings to date, the mighty Swedish thrash quintet have already commenced the songwriting process for their fifth full-length release. Jari Kuusisto (guitars) checks in with the following update, We will once again hit Studio Underground for the recording of our fifth album (no title yet). The recording will start February 3rd and we will record about 12-13 songs. To give everyone a small hint of what to expect I can say that we picked up from where the last album, The More You Suffer, stopped. The new songs are a little bit more aggressive, but all of you that liked our previous albums wont get disappointed. We have also had some problems with our website, but that will soon be fixed. A studio diary will be posted as soon we hit the studio again. So we hope t o see you all in near future and dont forget to bang your heads. CHILDREN OF BODOM The Finnish melodic thrash masters have returned with their most blistering offering yet. Their fourth full-length album, Hate Crew Deathroll, features nine tracks of lethal, overwhelming dual guitar insanity and melody. The media cant stop praising their new effort and the group will embark on their first U.S. tour alongside Dimmu Borgir, Nevermore and Hypocrisy this November. They are also shooting a video for the track Sixpounder this month and look for it to make its Fuse and MTV2 debut later this year. Hate Crew Deathroll is relentless in its delivery staying true to its dramatic melody, clean production and intricate song structures. --Metal Maniacs, September 2003 DIMENSION ZERO The death/thrash metal evolution has arrived and expect the unexpected. This assault comes to you in the form of the vicious Swedish quintet known as DIMENSION ZERO and their latest effort, This Is Hell, finds the group embracing a more direct approach to their songwriting. The 10-track offering features the talents of Jesper Strvmblad (In Flames) on bass and Jocke Gvthberg (ex-Marduk) on vocals. This is the duos third album and it is easily their most sinister. The bands sound could be compared to a mixture of At The Gates, Dissection and Mayhem, as they lean away from melody and put more emphasis on speed and savage aggression. The group did not set out to reinvent the wheel, but they have set their sights on creating the most destructive thrash metal record to date. There are very few albums these days that command your full attention, but this one will immediately grab you by the jugular and refuse to let go. From here, it looks like hell aint such a bad place to be. The group just shot a new video for the track Immaculate with acclaimed director Roger Johansson (In Flames, Arch Enemy) that should be completed by the end of the month. The groups scorching new album is set for a November 4th release. EYES OF FIRE The versatile Orange County quintet have created a strong local following with the release of their new EP, Disintegrate, and their numerous live performance. Their debut album, Ashes To Embers, is set for an early 2004 release. Recently Dan Kaufman (guitars, vocals) checked in to let us know how things have been going and they are more than ready to get on the road. Hey there, Dan from EYES OF FIRE here. Shit is going off the hook for us. The EP has been getting incredible response from the press and the fans out there. Be on the lookout for features in a lot of your favorite music mags. If you havent had the chance to pick it up you are wasting time and missing out on some kick ass tunes. The shows in California with WATCH THEM DIE and LACUNA COIL were out of control. There are plans to destroy the rest of the U.S. this coming winter. So keep checking up on the site (www.eyesoffire.us) for all the latest and greatest EYES OF FIRE news and random thoughts. Click here to hear to listen to the title track off the bands latest effort. http://mp3.centurymedia.com/EyesofFire_disintegrate.mp3 GOD FORBID New Jersey thrash quintet GOD FORBID recently joined fellow hometown heroes E-Town Concrete for a three-week East Coast tour this month. This will mark the first time that both famed Jersey acts have united for any shows outside of their immediate area. The group are currently wrapped up the highly successful Bitter, Broken, Bound and Gagged tour with Atreyu and Darkest Hour and will cap off their highly productive year with participation on the Headbangers Ball tour featuring SHADOWS FALL, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Unearth. The bands new full-length album, Gone Forever, was recorded at Trax East Studios by Eric Rachel (Atreyu, E-Town, Every Time I Die) and mixed by the acclaimed Colin Richardson (Chimaira, Fear Factory). The 11-track assault promises to be GOD FORBIDs most dynamic offering to date. Look for an EP titled Better Days - containing a new track from their upcoming album, alongside other previously unreleased studio material to surface in late fall. HASTE The poignant, melodic, high-energy sextet HASTE are preparing for a busy fall touring schedule alongside the likes of Hey Mercedes (Vagrant Records), Hopesfall (Trustkill) and Stretch Armstrong (Solidstate), among others. The first trek - with Stretch Armstrong and With Honor (Stillborn) - is set to run from November 11 th to November 23rd along the east coast. This will lead into a three-week stint with Hey Mercedes, Hopesfall and Zao, thereby capping off an already stellar year. HASTE are currently in the midst of a national six-week tour with As I Lay Dying that included shows with Bleeding Through on the west coast. A new video for the track Stutter was recently shot in Los Angeles with acclaimed director Zach Merck (Blindside, Norma Jean, Shadows Fall), and look for it to make its Fuse and MTV2 debut later this year. Kelly Reaves (vocals) further describes the bands extensive touring schedule, The As I Lay Dying tour has been going great, except for our van breaking down every couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone for coming out to the shows. After this tour we are going to work on our transportation problem and then we head right back out. We will be doing a Northeast/Eastern Canada run with Stretch Armstrong and With Honor in November. We've always wanted to do some dates with Stretch, so we are pretty stoked about the tour. As soon as we get home from that, we head out for the Hopesfall, Hey Mercedes, Zao tour in December. That will keep us busy until the end of the year, but we are just getting started so watch for a whole lot of news about our plans for 2004. A work of steroid-strong songwriting, razor sharp hooks and an emotional post-metalcore melodic hardcore throttle, all congealed within a Quicksand/Poison The Well/Glassjaw style. --Metal Maniacs, August 2003 Few in todays metal scene are as dynamic and captivating as Birmingham, Alabamas very own HASTE, a band that have intuitively eluded direct classification with their never-ending musical evolution. --The PRP, August 2003 KRISIUN The Brazilian extreme metal titans have retuned with a vengeance and created what might be the most savage album to come along this year. Over the past decade the group have perfected their dynamic, unrelenting assault and this experience has certainly transcended into the songwriting process for their latest effort. Their fifth full-length release, Works of Carnage, delivers 12 tracks of devastating blast beats matched with a barrage of shredding guitar technicality. The group will make their triumphant return to the U.S. alongside Deicide and Hate Eternal next month. This album will proceed to pummel any listener into the ground with its devastating aggression and you will be lucky to make it through one listen unharmed. Click here to experience the carnage for yourself. http://mp3.centurymedia.com/krisiun_Murderer_WorksofCarnage.mp3 Video: KRISIUN - "Murderer" Essentially their most ferocious release since Conquerors Of Armageddon, these Brazilians continue to slash and dash their way through death metal's elite. And what's even more impressive is that the danger doesn't quit, the band pummeling and rolling over anything in its path for an entire album proper. --Digitalmetal, September 2003 Works of Carnage is KRISIUN at their best. --Infernal Combustion, September 2003 MOONSPELL The Portuguese-based gothic/metal pioneers MOONSPELL will embark on a national U.S. tour alongside fellow genre leaders Cradle of Filth and Type O Negative this fall. The trek, set to begin on November 13th and run through the end of December, will also include a stop at the New Jersey Metal and Hardcore Festival. This tour announcement comes on the eve of the groups seventh album, The Antidote, set for an October 21st release. After enlisting the talents of Waldemar Sorychta (Lacuna Coil, Sentenced), who worked with the band on their acclaimed releases Wolfheart, Irreligious and Sin/Pecado, to handle the albums pre-production, the band emerged with 10 epic tracks that encompass many aspects of horror, melody and heaviness. The addition of Niclas Eteldvuori (Amorphis) on bass further allowed them to conquer new ground, while retaining the sound they developed almost a decade ago. Fernando Ribeiro (vocals) further describes the bands excitement over their much-anticipated return to the U.S. after a two-year absence: If someone told the pessimist in me that we would go on this wonderful tour together with Cradle of Filth and Type O Negative, I would laugh sardonically at him and especially at myself. But now that everything is being put together, I just feel like tapping that lost energy into impressing every single one for what we are, which is what is contained in our music, purely and solely. The first sold-out show we ever played in our lives was supporting COF in a distant 1994 here in Lisbon, and we all agree that the best and most successful tour we ever had was supporting Type O around Europe, back in 1996, the year of all radiances for us. So nothing can fail, and we are working hard to come back in style, with our new album and our old classics, to underline a spark we like to think we left in our dear U.S. audience, which is like we are now: small but powerful. So we would love to meet you all, to have you tasting the antidote and to have you all basking at the moonlight, this agitated moonlight, whose spirits we want to cast upon you, by our words, by our sounds and by our furious love for communicating our (he)Art unto those who can better understand it: you. We do hope to see you all there. NEVERMORE The Seattle-based quartet have returned with their fifth and most overwhelming release that is sure to leave any metal fan in awe. Their new opus, Enemies of Reality, features nine tracks of blistering guitars solos and double bass insanity all matched with a powerful vocal delivery that will bring the largest of men to their knees. The unique sound this band have created effortlessly fuses the classic 80s thrash sound with a modern songwriting approach. This group uses their experience focusing on creating songs that are thought-provoking and overall brutally heavy. They will embark on their first U.S. tour in over two years alongside Children of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir and Hypocrisy this November. Their new video for the albums title track was shot by acclaimed director Zach Merch (Blindside, Shadows Fall) and is currently in he avy rotation on Headbangers Ball. This is true metal in its purest form. NEVERMOREs fifth effort is remarkably intense and is the sound of an angry, heavy and uncompromising band. --Blistering.com, July 2003 SCAR CULTURE After a long and grueling search, the Brooklyn-based quartet SCAR CULTURE have solidified a new vocalist. Their new frontman, Roman Garbacik, has the vocal range, intensity and commanding presence that the band have been so actively searching for over the past year. The group have already commenced the songwriting process for their sophomore album, with plans to have it ready for a summer 2004 release. After touring extensively for their debut album, Inscribe, they are eagerly anticipating getting back out on the road to annihilate audiences with their revamped lineup. John Conley (guitars) further describes his excitement over their newest member: After many, many months of auditions, we have found the person we feel can properly handle the older material and offer a lot more to the new stuff. His name is Roman Garbacik. He hails from Connecticut and formerly tore up most of New England with 8 Trak Mind and Mourn Makes Movement. With him on board the writing for the next CD is in full swing. We're looking to do some shows in the north east to strengthen the lineup even more and start breaking in new tunes. Be sure to check the tour section of our website for updates. Again, thank you all for your patience throughout most of 2003.Things are only getting started. SHADOWS FALL The group are just about to wrap up a successful run on the Take Action tour alongside acclaimed acts as Posion The Well and Avenged Sevenfold, among others. From here the group will prepare for a lengthy headlining stint on the massive Headbangers Ball package tour with Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God until the end of the year. Their new video for The Idiot Box is set to make its MTV2 debut on Headbangers Ball October 18th, where the band will also be special guests. WATCH THEM DIE The savage Oakland-based quintet WATCH THEM DIE are set to embark on a national U.S. this November in support of their debut self-titled album. The month-long trek will also include a stop at this years New Jersey Metalfest on November 15th, marking the bands first U.S. festival appearance. Their new self-titled offering was released on October 7th to a slew of rave reviews from mainstream and underground publications alike. These purveyors of the extreme rose from the ashes of several highly influential underground bands - Grimple, Schlong, ELDOPA (aka: 1332), Word Salad, Buzzov-en and OjoRojo - but they refuse to rest solely on their past accomplishments. After developing a rabid underground west coast following, the group are ready to spread their wrath throughout the world and are quickly going to capture peoples atte ntion with their overwhelming intensity and unconventionality. Pat Vigil (vocals) further describes the groups excitement over their first national U.S. tour: Hey this is VIGIL from WATCH THEM DIE and I just wanted to let metalheads and thrashers around the country know that we will be touring the U.S. starting early November, in support of our new CD. We are doing 38 shows in 36 days .We hope to see people everywhere come out of their domains and help us take it back to the time when music was intense and scared the hell out of people. We truly hope to see all of you on the road. We thank all that have supported us and strive for the punishment of false metal. Respect and Violence. Be prepared for war is about to be unleashed.

(HB + PB) Click here for more BOOK ANNEX items! ============== METAL NEWS ================ BlackMetal.com Mailorder update: While there are quite a few "NEW ARRIVALS" to the website (such as the much-anticipated FORGOTTEN TOMB CD from Adipocere Records, with more on the way from both Adipocere and Oaken Shield in France!), this is a red-letter week heavy on the "RESTOCKS". For example, we've resorted to having to import much of the Hammerheart back-catalogue since the decline of the domestic versions from Hammerheart USA. Essential titles which have been listed as "temporarily not available" for the past months (such as MITHOTYN, THYRFING, HAGALAZ RUNEDANCE, CRUACHAN, the DIMMU BORGIR/OLD MANS CHILD split, AURA NOIR, AETERNUS, ALAS, CORONA BOREALIS, PRIMORDIAL, RAVENOUS, etc.) are now available again, albeit in limited quantities (until we can get more, of course)... When browsing our website, PLEASE remember that hundreds, literally thousands, of titles are currently available for ordering, and that the seeming proliferation of "not available" listings encountered are maintained strictly for "ARCHIVAL" purposes (think of this site as a vast archive of Extreme Black Metal reference, as many do!), plus we're always hoping and intending to re-stock those missing items! For us, the rich history of Metal and the vast scope of past releases is as much of a concern to us (as "true" die-hards), as it is for "trendies" who care only for the latest fashion, those late 'train-jumpers' unconcerned with the substance of original classics and pioneers before! Often-times complaints about seeing too many "temp n/a" listings are a sure sign of a "newbie" who has no idea about how we maintain our site. Our customers and friends, regular visitors to our site (often called "frontrunners" because they're quickest on the draw in terms of ordering as the early bird getting the worm) know to be patient, concentrating on what is actually available with confidence that impending "RESTOCK" listings are forthcoming. Re-stocks make past complaints of this nature moot and ultimately pointless; this is a fast-paced and dynamic environment, and we don't worry about transient and momentary concerns of this nature. We're always confident of our methods to satisfy our supporters. We cater to what can be considered an "elite" crowd-- for those of you in this alliance, our site is easy to navigate, problems finalizing your orders are minimal, payment methods are abundant, secure, and stress-free, all the nerve-wracking "retail-experience" heartbreak of acquiring that all-important slab of Extreme Blackened noise to enhance your life is avoided with a few easy clicks of a mouse or keyboard! Not only do we endeavor to bring in the latest in-demand releases ("NEW ARRIVALS" such as those by FUNERAL MIST, ONDSKAPT, DIMMU BORGIR, DEMONCY, MOONTOWER, SATANIC WARMASTER, IRON MAIDEN, etc.; and "RESTOCKS" such as the LORDS OF CHAOS Book by Blood Axis' Michael Moynihan, numerous titles on Red Stream, Osmose, No Colours, Head Not Found, the aforementioned Hammerheart, KRISTALLNACHT, DESTRUCTION, SODOM, MARDUK, etc., plus a forthcoming Century Media shipment early next week!), we're also working to constantly expand the available offerings of "VINTAGE" titles, BOOKS, SHIRTS, and other merchandise of interest-- all in an effort to make available to you, as easily as possible, those thing which enhance your Extreme Black Metal lifestyle! If you were to walk into a "new age" or metaphysical store (which are usually oriented towards wicca or "white" magic), you won't find Satanic Baphomets with inverted pentagrams or goats! For those of you who wish to display the trappings of Black Metal imagery in your personal domain, we understand that most mainstream retail avenues fail your requirements! We do not bow or capitulate to the ignorant dictates of self-proclaimed "taste-makers" (just another word for "trendy" in disguise!) who attempt to criticize our tried-and-true methods! We have existed successfully for long enough to know that the vexations of immature, new to the scene "gurus" are but temporary annoyances. As the independent nihilistic gun-enthusiast libertines that we are, we proudly exist and operate on our Satanic terms, and if these irritants (so-called "guardians of the Scene") do not understand this, then they have no business being in the Black Metal Scene! These "guardians of the Scene" actually hurt, not help, the Scene-- they contribute nothing to the success of the precious bands they seek to "protect"; they would rather see Underground bands wallow and flounder away in obscurity and premature aging or demise! The bands exist independently of us, but it is WE who are most productive in HELPING the audience to find the bands. Our mortal enemies, the worthless couch potatoes who are most vocal about the "purity" of the Scene are the most unproductive lot, their ignorant negativity seeking to bring everyone else down to their pathetic level-- they contribute nothing to the richness and dynamic of the art and lifestyle; for them, a receptive audience of equally ignorant "followers" (or "meat-heads") is their fantasy. They invent imagined "crusades" to give their dead-end lives meaning. They want to make Black Metal a fraternity (while under the guise of being a "rebel") like rap or hip-hop, when we value multi-dimensional individuality and transformed self-autonomy. We don't need any more messiahs-- that's for christians and other spiritually enlsaved. When being forced or subjected to the tiresome whining and moaning tirades of these "taste-makers", "guardians of the Scene", self-proclaimed gurus (in actuality closeted frat-boy, pimp-wannabee's), you have only to consider their past contributions (positive or negative?), and consider the source (too), to be able to make up your own mind. The Scene is full of con-artists; beware of SHEEP in wolves clothing! --Elden M. *(with Hails to LUCIFUGUM!) - - - - - ACHERON will be playing live on October 31st and November 1st, 2003, in Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio.

Once again, a constellation of multi-talents have joined forces to create an unstoppable juggernaut that will surely leave its mark on the music world as something new, original and unique. Featured in this project will be Lazare (Solefald, Borknagar), Eikind (Khold, Tulus), Hellhammer (Arcturus, Winds, Mayhem), and two other newcomers to the scene who go under the names Extant and Kobbergaard. Andy Winter, the mastermind behind Winds, is also be involved in the project. Many things can be said about the quite original concept, featuring music with hard-hitting guitars, blasting drums and expressionistic vocals, yet with the calm and soothing feel of atmospheric keyboards. This is a truly different musical experience, thrilling and intense yet meditative and deep. In other words another exciting addition to our unique and artistic roster. The band is entering the studio today to begin recordings on the debut album. - - - - - OMEN SINGER PASSES ON -- J.D. Kimball, the former lead singer of Omen, passed away on October 3rd, 2003 after a 3-year battle with cancer. Omen guitarist, Kenny Powell, would like to share these words about his former bandmate: "He was a great writer, one of the true innovators in the early years of power metal. I am extremely proud of the records that we did together, "Battle Cry", "Warning of Danger", "Nightmares" and "The Curse". I hope everyone will remember J.D. for all of his truly great contributions to the world of Heavy Metal. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Sincerely, Kenny Powell". - - - - - SERUM Newsletter 10/2003 -- "Sad but true: After 7 years, the band SERUM will no longer exist in this line-up. The main reason for this breakup is the fact that the musical tastes and interests of the individual band members had become more and more diverse. So it got increasingly difficult to write songs that were 'compatible' with everybody's perception of music. But all of us will continue and appear in other bands, so please check our website for news once in a while! Finally, a big THANKS to our fans for your support during all this time!" -- SERUM (Wolfgang, Strecki, Markus, Klaus & Alex) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \m/ \m/ CHEERS from the entire crew: Debbie J - WebMistress/Owner Elden M - WebTroll Brandon S - Senior Shipping Clerk Mike P - Associate Shipping Clerk VISIT US AND SAVE $$ NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED!

Slayer News
SLAYER FOUR-DISC BOX SET SOUNDTRACK TO THE APOCALYPSE FEATURES ALBUM TRACKS, RARITIES AND DVD OF LIVE PERFORMANCES; FIVE-DISC DELUXE EDITION ADDS CONCERT CD... Slayer, the fastest, heaviest and darkest band on the planet, goes to extremes for its first retrospective. A three-CD/one-DVD box set regular edition and four-CD/one-DVD specially packaged "ammo box" for the deluxe version, Soundtrack To The Apocalypse (American Recordings/UMe), released November 25, 2003, celebrates the visceral assault that is Slayer. A Slayer fan's ultimate experience, Soundtrack To The Apocalypse includes tracks spanning every Slayer album since 1986, soundtrack cuts, Japan-only tracks, more than a dozen rarities, and a DVD of live performances spanning 20 years, all digitally remastered. The deluxe edition adds a full-length concert CD from Slayer's 2002 God Hates Us All tour stop in Anaheim, CA, presented in a "blood pack" sleeve (with faux blood and floating skulls). The tour was the band's first with original drummer Dave Lombardo since 1992. The deluxe edition also includes a wall banner and replica backstage laminate. Both editions have an extensive booklet spotlighting a history based on interviews with each member and long-time producer Rick Rubin. Disc 1 opens with five tracks from Slayer's 1986 major label debut, Reign In Blood, considered the most brutal thrash metal album of all time. Among the fan favorites are "Postmortem" and "Raining Blood." The album was the first of four consecutive gold studio albums, an impressive feat for a band that receives little radio or MTV exposure. From 1988's South Of Heaven are five tracks, including the title track. Culled from 1990's Seasons In The Abyss are another quintet, including "Dead Skin Mask." 1991's live Decade Of Aggression contributes three--"Chemical Warfare" and "Hell Awaits" among them. Disc 2 continues the chronology with five recordings from 1994's Divine Intervention, three from 1996's Undisputed Attitude, a trio from 1998's Diabolus In Musica and another three from 2001's God Hates Us All. Songs heard on various soundtracks are joined by two cuts previously unreleased in the U.S. from the Japanese Diabolus In Musica, two more from the import God Hates Us All and a bonus cover of the Suicidal Tendencies' "Memories Of Tomorrow" from the Japan-only Undisputed Attitude. Disc 3 focuses on rarities, from the earliest known Slayer recordings (previously unreleased 1983 live tracks) to seminal tracks taken from the band's garage rehearsals and even home demo recordings. The Disc 4 DVD showcases performances throughout the band's career and throughout the world as well as various TV appearances from singer-bassist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and Lombardo. Slayer is the band all other such heavy bands are measured against, defining not only a genre but an attitude. As Marc Paschke writes in the liner notes: "It's about restrained aggression and impending danger. It's about the dark cloud that fills the room, energized by the anger and hate and hostility of the audience…Most of all, it's about feeling good." Soundtrack To The Apocalypse--it's the feel-good box set for the end of the world.

[ www.southernlord.com/press/attilacsihar ] EARTHBOUND SMOKEGHOST Earthbound Smoke Ghost ends, Namanista begins "These past few years have been a period of huge growth for us individually and as a group. Those of you who have followed us throughout our journey may have noticed a dramatic evolution in our sound, which we feel has developed into a style and presence unto its own. Huddled in a corner table of the Flying Burrito we met to discuss what direction we wished to take our energies in; what the hell do we do from here? Among that discussed amidst the consumption of chitpotle chicken and birthed from the desire to propel ourselves forward we unveil our new band name: Namanista. Why? Because were moving forward. When? Right now. How? This was the most hassle-free band naming session any of us have ever gone through. Why again? Because its simply time. Did you enjoy your burrito? Yes, thank you, although Millhouse kept asking if he could smell it. We will have a new and much improved website up and running very soon with the URL www.namanista.com. Our live show is getting more and more polished, as those who were at CBGB's gallery a bit ago witnessed first-hand. Thank you for coming to that, we promise more and better as we go on. We have 3-song demo's available for you if you run into us, or come down to a show. They're more than worth the time, trust me. Stay tuned for more. We're ready." ~ On behalf of Namanista, Pheroze [ www.namanista.com coming soon - www.earthboundsmokeghost.com still up now.....] FU MANCHU "Some raw, live Fu. Served up best with lots of volume. As does all good rock and roll. And this people, is some good rock n' roll. Guitars rip. Bass rumbles. Drums boom. All while images of the SoCal 70's lifestyle are painted in drawled rocking prose. It's hotrods and skateboards. It's open stretches of highway at 120 mph. If you like your rock pure, consider this the guy who has connections at the border... Think big ol' Ted Nugent 70's guitar rock, flexing on the guitar solos for sure, but streamlined into a faster tempo Black Sabbathy rock structure. As for this particular package of Fu, you trade a little studio clarity for some live energy. It's two CD's deep boasting 22 tracks of this riff driven rock and roll." Bushman | Modern Fix What more needs said? Of the most perfect of live records from a literal FORCE that started all this 'stoner rock' shit, Fu Manchu show their pride and perfection in the rock they roll with, and play all the songs you want to hear along with a whole gang of Fu-ers chanting and rippin' it up in the background. Get up with us to get in line for interviews..... please? [ www.fu-manchu.com ] HELVIS Helvis features members of Iron Monkey, Pitchshifter, Cerebral Fix and The Varukers and sound exactly like a band that features members of Iron Monkey, Pitchshifter, Cerebral Fix and The Varukers...Unshaved, unshowered, knuckle-dragging monolithic riffs reminiscent of Hellhammer played at punk rock speeds revisiting Iron Monkey-like crawls from time to time..Helvis makes me fantasize about bouncing a 45lb plate off the head of the guy talking WAY TOO loudly on the treadmill across from the squat rack. It's that kinda vibe... angry, raw, no bullshit metal for the misanthropic. Over the meth metal chug of Steve Watson and Chris Marygold, vocalist Bloody Kev takes on the death metal/punk rock voice and alternately channels the vocals of a drunken Mongoloid nearly every song... Chris Barnes | Hellridemusic.com Yeah, an explosive knock to the f'n skull of purely punk / early grindcore influence pushed with the depth and balls of doom on meth, Helvis put the bands they come from and smash them into one hell of a bloody lip waiting to happen. The band is now available for interviews, so get on the wagon and send us some questions. It's the cool thing to do.... [ www.helvis.co.uk ] KHANATE Not the actual soundtrack for Armageddon, while everything is aflame and crumbling... this is the soundtrack to the aftermath. Nothing short of purely engulfing trance tones and sounds more destructive and crushing played at high volume than any death metal or stoner rock can top, Things Viral will make your ears bleed and force visions of nothing but ruins into your conscious and subconscious mind. Born of doom and experimental masterminds Stephen O'Malley (Sunn 0)), Burning Witch, Lotus Eaters, Thorr's Hammer), James Plotkin (Old, Scorn, Atomsmasher), Alan Dubin (Old) and Tim Wyskida (Blind Idiot God) you can find nothing more suppressing and cold than the sounds unleashed on the new album Things Viral. Interviews are available upon request... so request..... [ www.ideologic.org | www.southernlord.com/press/khanate ] LIFE OF AGONY LIFE OF AGONY will be appearing Wed. December 10th & Thurs. December 11th at Downtown in Long Island, New York. Direct support for the 2 shows will be Blood Simple (featuring members of Vision of Disorder). Downtown is located at 190 Main Street in Farmingdale NY. These will be the first shows in the US following their extensive European tour starting October 18th which will take them through Belgium, Austria, France, Germany, Scotland, the Netherlands, and more (see full list of dates below). The band is available for interviews before the trip and even during for the most part, so get in touch with us for any press requests. [ www.lifeofagony.com ] MEATJACK "...Days of Fire is the newest Meatjack album and my ears have finally been beaten and bruised by some of the most well written and original heavy music I have heard in quite sometime. They aren't without comparison, they are similar to Neurosis, and hell I even hear some Slayer in a riff or two. Why is it original though? It has "moments" that sound like other bands, but for the most part it's totally new and exciting...If you like subwoofer rumbling bass, mid tempo guitar bashing and lots of discordance, Meatjack is your solution to all of your addictions. This is one hell of an album that needs to be heard!" Mike | Unboundzine.com WIth some long overdue exposure bringing Meatjack to the masses, Days of Fire is a force to be reackoned with; we have about a million reviews to back it up, nearly every one of them a testament to the sheer force this band is capable of emitting. They're in the swing of their fall tour now and more than likely they'll be hitting a town near you. We have limited guest lists at each show, so if you want to interview the band or give 'em a live review, get in touch with the Earsplit Posse o' 2, and we'll put it together like Legos. [ www.meatjack.com ] PLACE OF SKULLS Well holy-fuckin-supergroup Batman! As if POS didn't rattle enough chains and turn enough heads with their debut record Nailed, Victor Griffin (Pentagram, Death Row) is now neck and neck with none other than Wino (Spirit Caravan, the Obsessed, Hidden Hand) on guitar/vocal duties!!! As on all previous POS recordings drummerTim Tomaselli is bashin' skins, and newfound Dennis Cornelius (Revelation, Oversoul, Doomstone) rounds out the low-end perfectly, making With Vision an instant classic to fans of the original stoner rock sound. No wanky guitar crap, no overproduction, and no hype that ain't worth it all the way, POS are going to knock in your door and steal your soul from your unsuspecting ass. We have the green light from the band to get interviews rolling, so don't be shy! Send us your requests and we'll do our thing. [ www.placeofskulls.com | www.southernlord.com/press/placeofskulls/ ] PROBOT The time is finally approaching. Probot will be here in mere months now, and you'll finally be able to stop drooling in anticipation. Please note that the Probot track w/ Wino is titled: "EMERALD LAW" and not "Emerald Lie" or "Emerald Lies" as may have been previously reported. Check out the shit up on Billboard.com!!!: www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1996748 For now hit up the Southern Lord site and check out the few sections of songs in the 'Probot Player'. [ www.southernlord.com/probot - User Name: PROBOT, Password: WARLOCK ] PSYCHOTOGEN "Interesting to see folks raised on the tech-thrash of Atheist and Sadus, then steeped in the self-aware death/grind of literate bands like Dying Fetus and Dillinger Escape Plan, going back to the future a bit and eschewing the faster-and-deeper school of gore-metal oblivion and bringing a little technicality and musicality back to the table. ... Unafraid to show off some chops (especially the flashy bassist), or show off their Schuldiner influences ... What I dig about Psychotogen's brand of technicality is, the tripped-out musicianship is never done at the expense of the son - the band are savvy enough players and writers that there's always a hook to hang the tune on, and things never descend into a self-parodying maelstrom of notes. Their restraint is as impressive as their ability. ... Once you soak up just how much is going on in these killer songs, though, it's hard not to be mightily impressed." Keith Bergman | Infernal Combustion Maryland-bred and molten metal-fed, the meaning to Psychotogen's name (any agent that causes or induces psychosis) is amplified and explained through their diversity and undeniably crushing method of death metal. You read the review snippet above? Well that's exactly what's in store for you - a classic slab of tech-death metal driven with post-Jazz fallout and metallic breaks of pure insanity.

Due to a potential buyer flaking out last minute, I am happy to re- post this listing for a classic Tascam Porta 03 Mini Studio. This 4- Track was used maybe three times. Consider it brand new. Still in box. Power cord and all. Still looking great and working great. No problems, no worries at all. Great for writing tunes at home, on the road or to demo new basic tracks with your band. It's portlable and hassle free. Few years back, this was the one EVERYONE had. Many still use the Tascam today and swear by it. So get your music off the computer! It's not natural kids!This is the genuine article for home recording. Looking for a fair price. Nothing drastic, just fair. Again, this 4-Track is close to new as can be. The last round of bids I took all came in between $95-130 to give you a basis. Just want to get it to the person who really could use it. I'm flexiable. (Shipping cost not included) Contact Mark at letsemailmark@sprynet.com Thanks. Hope to hear from you.
