RAZORBACK RECORDS Newsletter!
2003 is almost over, and Razorback Records would like to thank everybody who has supported and shown interest in us this past year, and all the years prior. We have lots of news to report on, so strap those boots on and get ready to head into the marshes loaded with all the red
stuff!
KUTABARE:
These sick, down-tuned vomit-gore freaks from Australia have their debut full-length CD titled "Finger Food Fetih For The Morbidly Abnormal" coming out and the Hive is proud to bring it to you! Get ready for some of the heaviest and most twisted gore metal ever, with truly crazy artwork from the band's drummer Pete Limbspasm! The band is already working on new songs which are said to be even heavier and more gore-filled than ever before, so keep your eye out on these lunatics! Their debut CD will be out in the next 2 weeks so look for ordering info soon! Check out the band's web site as well for more info. www.bloodharmonic.com
WTN:
These gods of grind from Singapore will finally have their debut album, titled "Rotting In Pestilence" out in the early part of 2004. The artwork has been drawn by Nor Prego from Spain, who has done amazing work
for Machetazo and Fermento the past few years. This is THE grindgore album to beat in 2004, trust us! Haunting, catchy, morbid riffs, over precise drumming and bizarre vocals. There hasn't been a gore album this memorable in years! Look for this to be one of the finest Razorback
Records releases ever. WTN also has split EP's in the works with other Hive bands, such as Frightmare, Splatterhouse, and also the split with Haemorrhage is still planned to come out. No release dates on any of these at this time. Keep checking the Razorback site for more info.
GRUESOME STUFF RELISH:
The band has had a great year, playing many shows in Europe, and has an upcoming show with Haemorrhage as well. They will begin work on their 2nd full-length CD for Razorback in January 2004, for hopefully a
February release! Look for an even more crushing production job, and even more catchier zombie-infested grindgore songs from these maniacs! The band
also has their split mini-LP/mini-CD with Engorged coming out on Last House On The Right Records any day now, and their new split mini-CD with Splatterhouse is out now on No Escape Records.
SPLATTERHOUSE:
The band's debut recording, a split CD with fellow Hivers Gruesome Stuff Relish is out now, check it out and experience one of the best new gore bands around today! The band will begin working on their debut
full-length CD for Razorback Records in the early part of 2004, so keep checking back for more info as it comes in. The band will also be doing a split 7" ep with Birdflesh, due to be released on The Spew Records from Italy. There should also be a Splatterhouse web site coming soon as well.
ENGORGED:
The band has returned home to the Razorback Hive and we are highly anticipating their brand new album, tentatively titled "Where Monsters Dwell..." and will feature 8 brand new songs of amazing, thrashing horror
death/grind as only Engorged knows how to do! Some new songs include "Slaughterhouse", "Architeuthis", "Werewolf Militia", and "Return Of The Living Dead". The band will start recording in the early part of 2004, and the album is
planned to be released in the Summer. T-shirts will be made to celebrate this release, so look for more info on that next year. The album will feature all new artwork from the master Dennis Dread! Engorged also has
planned split releases coming with Fondlecorpse, and Ghoul! Their web site should be updated soon as well. www.engorged.netMACHETAZO:
The dark lords of horror-grind are currently preparing ideas and material for the 3rd full-length CD on Razorback Records, which is going to be a concept album about the amazing Blind Dead films of the 70's. Where
"Trono De Huesos" was about anger, this new one will be about fear. Artwork will be drawn by Nor Prego, and the album should be released in the Summer of 2004. Machetazo has just recently recorded 3 new songs for
a split 7" ep with General Surgery that will be coming out on Escorbuto Records from Sweden. Look for this killer release hopefully in January 2004. The band also has plans to record material for a split LP with Mausoleum in 2004! The throne of bones is stronger than ever so keep
checking for updates on the Razorback site for more news, along with their web site. www.machetazo.net
LORD GORE:
The band is getting ready to start recording the material for many new releases planned for 2004. Their 2nd CD for Razorback Records is planned to be titled "Dead In The Flesh", and will contain some of the band's
most gruesome, powerful, and brilliant gore metal ever! Catchier than ever before, heavier, with a shocking vocal onslaught like you've never heard before. Look for the album cover and layout to be one of the most
insane ever done. The band also has split releases coming with Blood Duster, and also a split mini-CD with Biolich on No Escape Records. www.lordgore.net
FONDLECORPSE:
Newest to the Hive, these oldschool gorehounds are currently hard at work on their debut full-length album which will be titled "Creaturegore" and will be a tribute to all things small, gross, mean, and ugly! Get
ready for alien creatures crashing in your backyard, critters eating your flesh(and your chili), and more monster mashing! The band is also working on getting a new full-length 7" ep out, titled "Limbless" which
will be self-released and features artwork from Jake of Tales From Uranus comics. They are also working on an insane split with Engorged that will be a tribute to all the wonderful trash culture of the 80's! The band still has T-shirts and copies of their split 7" with Inkblack
available, check out their web site. www.fondlecorpse.nl
BLOOD FREAK:
After finally having their debut album released after over 10 years, the band has finally returned to celebrate the joys of horror films on DVD, drive-in movie theatres, and TRUE grindgore death metal!! The band is currently working on their new album, titled "Live Fast, Die
Young...And Leave A Flesh-Eating Corpse!", which will once again feature incredible album art from the splatter master Chas Balun! The album will have 30 brand new songs and even better production and sound! Some new
titles include: "Butchermobile", "The Slaughter Special", "Goretits", and "Splatter Of The Highest Order". Look for a Blood Freak web site coming soon, which is being done by Sly the GoreGnome from Fondlecorpse!
GORE BEYOND NECROPSY:
The Japanese harshitgrindcore freaks and Razorback Records join forces in 2004 to unleash a brand new CD! The new release, titled "Rock 'n Noise, Grind 'n Roll", will be released sometime in late 2004, and will include amazing and completely insane artwork from Woo-Young(vocalist of Realized)! More info will be posted soon about this release as soon as we hear it. In the meantime, contact the band to obtain a copy of their
brand new 3-way split LP with Arsedestroyer and Nikudorei which must be seen to be believed! Also, the band has a brand new 7" ep on HG Fact Records from Japan that was just released. www.gorebeyondnecropsy.com
GHOUL:
If you thought the horror of "Maniaxe" was over, you were wrong...DEAD wrong! GHOUL will return in 2004 with a very special split CD with Engorged! The band will record 4 brand new songs for this release. No other
information is available at this time, as we are too afraid to email Digestor or travel back to Creepsylvania as the band still has a huge bounty on our heads. (can't we all just get along guys?) We did hear rumors that the split CD might be titled "Chamber Of Chills", but this could
be just the band fooling us like they always do. Hopefully Engorged will be more coopertative with info on this! Also, the band still hopes to record material for a split 7" ep with Machetazo on Last House On The Right Records. As always, keep checking the Razorback Records web site for more info on this!
"The HORROR HIVE" 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY COMPILATION CD:
That's right! Razorback Records will celebrate 5 years of gore with this special compilation CD, that will include tracks from past Razorback releases, as well as bonus material and other exclusive surprises! Liner notes will be written by long time nemesis, Digestor of Ghoul, and
will also feature awesome artwork from Jake of Tales From Uranus! This will be a low-priced CD and will also be given away free with orders. More info soon!
If all of the news for 2004 is not enough, then we already have news about 2005! Look for 2005 to bring new full-length albums from BUTCHER ABC, GHOUL, and FRIGHTMARE! The Hive will not rest until all are hacked
to pieces by the Gore-Boar!!!! Happy Howl-Days from Razorback Records!

NEW FLESHCRAWL ALBUM - FLESHCRAWL just finished the recordings of their new album "Made of Flesh" at Studio Underground in Sweden.

NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury has confirmed plans to form a "grindcore" project with CATHEDRAL frontman (and ex-NAPALM DEATH member) Lee Dorrian.
"Me and Lee have been talking about doing something for ages but I think hopefully next year we will get something together," Embury said, "Hopefully Roy Mayorga, who was playing drums in SOULFLY, will drum and Mid [a.k.a. Robert Middleton] who is responsible for a lot of the NAPALM DEATH artwork will play guitar as he now plays in a band called BAIT and used to be the guitar player for DEVIATED INSTINCT, who of course go way back to the early NAPALM days."
With regards to Embury's much-anticipated "total punk thrash grind" project with ex-NAPALM DEATH drummer Mick Harris, former BRUTAL TRUTH singer Kevin Sharp and MELVINS/FANTOMAS guitarist Buzz Osborne, Embury said, "[the group's debut album] will be out early next year as we are just searching for a label to put it out. But it's done and ready to go. [We're] gonna be recording some songs for some split records early next year as well."

Destructor Continue Writing For New Album --
Destructor are hard at work writing and demoing new material for the follow-up to their very successful Sonic Bullet EP, released on Auburn Records earlier this year. New songs include "Skull Splitter," "Unleashed," "Immortal Metal," "Unearth The Earth," "We Are Ready," "Damage Control" and a reworked version of "Smash Your Skulls With Power". More songs are in the development stages and will be completed soon. "We want to put a little old Destructor flavor in on the new session. Most of the songs are upbeat and fast. We want this follow-up to KILL!" says lead singer/guitarist Dave Overkill. The band will be entering 609 Recording Studio in Cleveland with engineer Don Depew (Breaker) early next year to begin recording.

The scheduled 15 city tour -- DISFEAR's second in support of their Relapse debut Misanthropic Generation -- will conclude on December 20 in Stockholm, where legendary Norwegian death punks TURBONEGRO will join the bill. The "Close Up Made Us Do It" Tour coincides with DISFEAR's first ever cover feature, set to run in the January, 2004 issue of Close Up.

NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury has confirmed plans to form a "grindcore" project with CATHEDRAL frontman (and ex-NAPALM DEATH member) Lee Dorrian.
"Me and Lee have been talking about doing something for ages but I think hopefully next year we will get something together," Embury said, "Hopefully Roy Mayorga, who was playing drums in SOULFLY, will drum and Mid [a.k.a. Robert Middleton] who is responsible for a lot of the NAPALM DEATH artwork will play guitar as he now plays in a band called BAIT and used to be the guitar player for DEVIATED INSTINCT, who of course go way back to the early NAPALM days."
With regards to Embury's much-anticipated "total punk thrash grind" project with ex-NAPALM DEATH drummer Mick Harris, former BRUTAL TRUTH singer Kevin Sharp and MELVINS/FANTOMAS guitarist Buzz Osborne, Embury said, "[the group's debut album] will be out early next year as we are just searching for a label to put it out. But it's done and ready to go. [We're] gonna be recording some songs for some split records early next year as well."

Destructor Continue Writing For New Album --
Destructor are hard at work writing and demoing new material for the follow-up to their very successful Sonic Bullet EP, released on Auburn Records earlier this year. New songs include "Skull Splitter," "Unleashed," "Immortal Metal," "Unearth The Earth," "We Are Ready," "Damage Control" and a reworked version of "Smash Your Skulls With Power". More songs are in the development stages and will be completed soon. "We want to put a little old Destructor flavor in on the new session. Most of the songs are upbeat and fast. We want this follow-up to KILL!" says lead singer/guitarist Dave Overkill. The band will be entering 609 Recording Studio in Cleveland with engineer Don Depew (Breaker) early next year to begin recording.

- ENGLISH -
Good old times were always better!! That’s true, and that’s why now many bands are coming back to their roots and new ones are emerging, knowing that the old feeling still rules!! VERMINOUS (ex-DELVE) are here to conquer and not with the typical old school swedish Death in the vein of ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, etc, but with a more devilish and unexploited style... which was the one created by the masters GROTESQUE (pre-AT THE GATES).
Bands like SADISTIC INTENT and KAAMOS are already doing this, but not with the sheer aggression and rage that this young foursome is showing on their debut album!! Rather short, fast and intense hymns of an evil swedish mixture of MORBID ANGEL and SLAYER... just like GROTESQUE, but way faster and more intense!! Taste this and you’ll be possessed by evil!!

Bandas como SADISTIC INTENT y KAAMOS ya han hecho ésto, pero no con la increíble agresividad e ira que éste joven cuarteto nos muestra en su álbum debut!! Temas relativamente cortos, rápidos e intensos de una maligna mezcla sueca de MORBID ANGEL y SLAYER... al igual que GROTESQUE, pero bastante más rápido y más intenso!! Prueba ésto y quedarás poseído por el mal!!

ZAO “LEGENDARY”

14. Trash Can Hands (from Self-Titled)
15. The Icarus Complex (NEW!)
16. One Last Time (NEW!)
17. All Dressed Up (With No Place To Go) (NEW!)
The record will also come with a lengthy bio piece written by Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter / Training for Utopia / Focal Point) Look for a release date of Dec 26 in CBA stores and January 13 in General Market stores!
RUMORS REGARDING THE AGONY SCENE BREAKING UP, TOURING ETC The rumor mill has been churning but here’s an update from Michael Williams, vocalist of The Agony Scene: “The Agony Scene will be taking a break for the rest of 2003 and regrets that they will not be able to participate in the Mushroomhead and Integrity tours. With the announcement of guitarist Chris Emmons leaving the group, the band will be announcing a new replacement in the near future and will be on the road in early 2004. This has been a great year for The Agony Scene and we appreciate everyone’s interest and support. We respect Chris' decision to move on and wish him the best. The Agony Scene will be back - we're writing some great new material and look forward to hitting the road again soon.”Members departing bands are never easy to get through but Solid State
appreciates all the fan’s support as the band regroups and comes out stronger than ever!
STRETCH ARM STRONG / PENNYWISE TOUR!
Thanks to everyone who has made the SAS/The Bled/The Kinison/The AKA’s tour such a success! SAS will be wrapping 2003 up with a short run on
the east coast on the Stillborn Fest tour featuring Hatebreed and many more. After a few shorts weeks off the band will hit the road with Beloved, Comeback Kid and Evergreen Terrace and then join up with
Pennywise and the Mad Caddies. Don’t miss the band on tour and don’t forget their latest record “Engage”, in stores now!

"There are those who have used rock music as a vehicle for social change, or as a means of expressing their most intimate emotions or sublime spiritual yearnings...and then, to paraphrase an old TV show theme song, there's ZEKE and bands of their ilk, who approach rock 'n roll with what might euphemistically be called a refreshing lack of pretense". -
ROLLING STONE
"Sheer brute punk strength. Punk's got young, loud and snotty again, only played just a little faster". - MONTREAL MIRROR
"An adrenalized cocktail of speed and combustive punk rawk...unchecked aggression and shameless thrash-mongering on a search-and-destroy mission". - WILLAMETTE WEEKLY

11. BURST 'Prey On Life' OUT NOW!
"original and fresh, superior in production, musical capability and creativity...simply amazing" - DIGITAL METAL On 'Prey On Life', BURST construct powerful, crisp and perfectly balanced music that molds both emotion and intensity. With a sound firmly rooted in heavy metal and the punk/hardcore aesthetic, BURST relies just
as heavily on ambience, atmosphere, and tone as it does complexity, aggression and raw emotion. A wholly original entity, BURST delivers unquestionably brilliant music that consumes and digests the listener with
grand and hypnotic waves of sound.
-------------------------------------------|
12. V/A - 'ReCollection' OUT NOW!
Entry: recall
Function: noun
Definition: remembrance
Synonyms: anamnesis, memory, recollection, reminiscence
For the first time ever, Relapse Records offers a comprehensive collection of music videos spanning the label's history - all on one low-priced DVD! ECOLLECTION delivers a bountiful bombardment of captivating
videos including fast-action clips from current label heavyweights HIGH ON FIRE, NEUROSIS, UNSANE, and The DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, up-and-comers
ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY and ALCHEMIST, and long-time conspirators AMORPHIS
and BRUTAL TRUTH amongst others. Relapse Records' 'RECOLLECTION' DVD
Video Collection visually documents Relapse's rise from its upstart
beginnings to its current incarnation as a leader in the international
extreme music movement. Seeing is believing!!
-------------------------------------------|
13. REGURGITATE 'Deviant' coming OUT NOW!
The epitome of post-CARCASS extremity, REGURGITATE gouge out merciless
ultra-grind. Faster and more aggressive than previous REGURGITATE
albums; Deviant deals sharp-edged hooks, strafing drum battery and
distorted blasts of bass. Deviant is monstrous grindcore extravaganza from one
of the undergrounds most ferocious and offensive bands!
-------------------------------------------|
14. HARVEY MILK 'The Singles' OUT NOW!
Too heavy to be post rock. Too weird to be metal. Too everything to be anything, HARVEY MILK is unconventional and wholly unique, both structurally and sonically. Grand in its stubborn difficulty and epic in its
difficult beauty, the sound of HARVEY MILK is simultaneously ugly and beautiful. Legendary for their devastating live shows and their absolutely absurd heaviness, HARVEY MILK crafted inconceivable slabs of
mesmerizing, ultra dynamic sludge, as well as precious moments of effortless grace and restraint. The Singles delivers all the retardedly hard to find moments of HARVEY MILK's career and is at once hypnotic,
repetitive, jarring, unpredictable, exhausting and perplexing. Harvey Milk is dead. Long live Harvey Milk.
-------------------------------------------|
15. MANDIBLE CHATTER 'Of Foreign Lands and People' OUT NOW!
In twelve years, MANDIBLE CHATTER has covered more musical territory than most enduring groups cover in a lifetime. If there were a single attribute that all MANDIBLE CHATTER releases could be said to have in
common, it would be the ability to surprise the listener. Textures, even genres, are often blended, exploiting contrasts to there fullest, yet always retaining the cohesive thread. Much like navigating Hampton
Court's maze by night, with MANDIBLE CHATTER one can never be quite sure what lies around the corner, as the listener is transported through a generous variety of sculptured ambiences that are alternately hypnotic,
blissful, mysterious, frightening, and everywhere in between.
Sometimes the difference between noise and music is all in your head.
-------------------------------------------|
16. HALO 'Body Of Light' OUT NOW!
"A holocaustic vortex of distorted guitars and vocals over monstrously eavy beats...a slow-motion sonic apocalypse in glorious monochrome." -
ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"Mindfucks don't come more intense than this." - METAL HAMMER Having punctured the harsh outer skin with 2001's 'Guattari (From the West Flows Grey Ash & Pestilence)', HALO burrow deeper into the corrupt
inner flesh of post-industrial depravity and corporate disease with 'Body of Light'. A rumbling diatribe of fear, loathing and pure sonic oppression, 'Body of Light' swallows its listener with the density of a collapsing star.
-------------------------------------------|
17. V/A - 'Contamination VI' low-price 2 CD compilation coming January
13th!
As the world continues to decay, Relapse Records continues to evolve, forging the sounds of the future alongside some of the finest bands the planet has to offer. Contaminated VI delivers two CDs of
forward-thinking, modern heavy music from Relapse's roster of scene giants (the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, NEUROSIS, NILE, etc), fast-rising stars (MASTODON,
BURNT BY THE SUN, HIGH ON FIRE, etc) and raring newcomers (PIG DESTROYER, THE END, BURST, DYSRHYTHMIA, etc) all for one super-low price.
Hearing is believing!

Early song titles include "383", "Long Train Running", "Ride To Live", "Ten to the Riverside Blues" and "On Through the Night".
"There are those who have used rock music as a vehicle for social change, or as a means of expressing their most intimate emotions or sublime spiritual yearnings...and then, to paraphrase an old TV show theme song, there's ZEKE and bands of their ilk, who approach rock 'n roll with what might euphemistically be called a refreshing lack of pretense". -
ROLLING STONE
"Sheer brute punk strength. Punk's got young, loud and snotty again, only played just a little faster". - MONTREAL MIRROR
"An adrenalized cocktail of speed and combustive punk rawk...unchecked aggression and shameless thrash-mongering on a search-and-destroy mission". - WILLAMETTE WEEKLY

11. BURST 'Prey On Life' OUT NOW!
"original and fresh, superior in production, musical capability and creativity...simply amazing" - DIGITAL METAL On 'Prey On Life', BURST construct powerful, crisp and perfectly balanced music that molds both emotion and intensity. With a sound firmly rooted in heavy metal and the punk/hardcore aesthetic, BURST relies just
as heavily on ambience, atmosphere, and tone as it does complexity, aggression and raw emotion. A wholly original entity, BURST delivers unquestionably brilliant music that consumes and digests the listener with
grand and hypnotic waves of sound.
-------------------------------------------|
12. V/A - 'ReCollection' OUT NOW!
Entry: recall
Function: noun
Definition: remembrance
Synonyms: anamnesis, memory, recollection, reminiscence
For the first time ever, Relapse Records offers a comprehensive collection of music videos spanning the label's history - all on one low-priced DVD! ECOLLECTION delivers a bountiful bombardment of captivating
videos including fast-action clips from current label heavyweights HIGH ON FIRE, NEUROSIS, UNSANE, and The DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, up-and-comers
ALABAMA THUNDERPUSSY and ALCHEMIST, and long-time conspirators AMORPHIS
and BRUTAL TRUTH amongst others. Relapse Records' 'RECOLLECTION' DVD
Video Collection visually documents Relapse's rise from its upstart
beginnings to its current incarnation as a leader in the international
extreme music movement. Seeing is believing!!
-------------------------------------------|
13. REGURGITATE 'Deviant' coming OUT NOW!
The epitome of post-CARCASS extremity, REGURGITATE gouge out merciless
ultra-grind. Faster and more aggressive than previous REGURGITATE
albums; Deviant deals sharp-edged hooks, strafing drum battery and
distorted blasts of bass. Deviant is monstrous grindcore extravaganza from one
of the undergrounds most ferocious and offensive bands!
-------------------------------------------|
14. HARVEY MILK 'The Singles' OUT NOW!
Too heavy to be post rock. Too weird to be metal. Too everything to be anything, HARVEY MILK is unconventional and wholly unique, both structurally and sonically. Grand in its stubborn difficulty and epic in its
difficult beauty, the sound of HARVEY MILK is simultaneously ugly and beautiful. Legendary for their devastating live shows and their absolutely absurd heaviness, HARVEY MILK crafted inconceivable slabs of
mesmerizing, ultra dynamic sludge, as well as precious moments of effortless grace and restraint. The Singles delivers all the retardedly hard to find moments of HARVEY MILK's career and is at once hypnotic,
repetitive, jarring, unpredictable, exhausting and perplexing. Harvey Milk is dead. Long live Harvey Milk.
-------------------------------------------|
15. MANDIBLE CHATTER 'Of Foreign Lands and People' OUT NOW!
In twelve years, MANDIBLE CHATTER has covered more musical territory than most enduring groups cover in a lifetime. If there were a single attribute that all MANDIBLE CHATTER releases could be said to have in
common, it would be the ability to surprise the listener. Textures, even genres, are often blended, exploiting contrasts to there fullest, yet always retaining the cohesive thread. Much like navigating Hampton
Court's maze by night, with MANDIBLE CHATTER one can never be quite sure what lies around the corner, as the listener is transported through a generous variety of sculptured ambiences that are alternately hypnotic,
blissful, mysterious, frightening, and everywhere in between.
Sometimes the difference between noise and music is all in your head.
-------------------------------------------|
16. HALO 'Body Of Light' OUT NOW!
"A holocaustic vortex of distorted guitars and vocals over monstrously eavy beats...a slow-motion sonic apocalypse in glorious monochrome." -
ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"Mindfucks don't come more intense than this." - METAL HAMMER Having punctured the harsh outer skin with 2001's 'Guattari (From the West Flows Grey Ash & Pestilence)', HALO burrow deeper into the corrupt
inner flesh of post-industrial depravity and corporate disease with 'Body of Light'. A rumbling diatribe of fear, loathing and pure sonic oppression, 'Body of Light' swallows its listener with the density of a collapsing star.
-------------------------------------------|
17. V/A - 'Contamination VI' low-price 2 CD compilation coming January
13th!
As the world continues to decay, Relapse Records continues to evolve, forging the sounds of the future alongside some of the finest bands the planet has to offer. Contaminated VI delivers two CDs of
forward-thinking, modern heavy music from Relapse's roster of scene giants (the DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, NEUROSIS, NILE, etc), fast-rising stars (MASTODON,
BURNT BY THE SUN, HIGH ON FIRE, etc) and raring newcomers (PIG DESTROYER, THE END, BURST, DYSRHYTHMIA, etc) all for one super-low price.
Hearing is believing!
-------------------------------------------|
18. V/A - 'Relapse Records North American Contamination Festival' Deluxe Double DVD coming January 27th!

(AFBPromo Teams) Street teams in 2004
Hey guys,
I just wanted to keep you in the light with what's going on with the AFBPromotions street/e-teams in 2004.
First off, there will be a NEW sign-up form on the NEW AFB site, to be released in the first few weeks of Jan. 2004. You may be required to re-sign up to the street team, which will more than likely reside outside of this YahooGroup since this YahooGroup didn't really seem
to accomplish what I wanted.
I will be making an "official" AFB Street Team website where you can access and download flyers and information to pass around, but only those that sign-up to the new street team will have access to these
goodies. And like most street teams now-a-days there will be a "points" system in play with goodies to be rewarded for those with top points (but I may somehow find a way to reward everyone that does at least one thing throughout the 2004 year to be fair). I haven't
figured out all the nitty gritty details about it yet, that will come when I get around to making the website ;) But I will keep you posted. So far those are the only "big plans" I have for the street team.
I have put a poll up in this group to see if you guys are even interested in continuing on supporting us and the
bands/labels/companies we work along side with, so feel free to take a few moments to cast your vote. The poll closes Dec 24th, 2003 I believe.
If you have any comments or suggestions about what I can do with (or for) the street team in the 2004 year, drop me a line:

"I don't know what good this does because first En Esch will have this mic that I am adjusting for him then Jared will pop in out of nowhere and grab his mic and bounce around from this side of the stage to the ceiling and then sing into Fiona's mic, who's I've adjusted for her,
who'll then pass JS the mic for his Pitchshifter bit, which I'll have to adjust it on the spot, then readjust it for Kami cause she'll be the nearest one and next inline to use that mic, and Edsel I gotta be ready to adjust his when he gets up there.." so on and so forth.
Hey you guys out there! The tour is on it's final leg, heading back to Chicago from the west coast, and sooooo much has evolved from the first days of rehearsals when previous members were welcomed back and newer members met each other for the first time.
Four weeks of sharing living quarters, stages & mics, and long conversations later... a new family has developed.

EARSPLIT PR
Damn, what a month it's been! From the beginning of November to midway through we were in the final stages of getting the wedding together and doing 8,000 things in advance to stay pretty caught up while we were out which was wholly exhausting. November 15th, the wedding was here. All these months and months of grueling work, planning, and exhaustive worrying was seemingly pointless, as the day went as smooth and as perfect as we could have asked for. The reception exploded as we walked in to 'Crazy Train' and everyone went apeshit. A night of partying, and we were off to Orlando for our week of relaxation. And oh did we need the rest. Our honeymoon in Florida with all of the theme parks, a killer townhouse, and a 2004 Mustang, along with a week of no work, was the best vacation of our lives and we are happy everything is done and finalized.
We thank everyone for their support, their words and congratulations, and for keeping the mailbox full in our absence, hehe. We came back to a shitstorm of emails that we're still clearing up (since we got back like 3 days before fuckin Thanksgiving....) so we apologize if there is anything we may not have got back to you on; just hit us up agian with a big "HEY DUMMIES" in the subject, and we'll get ya taken care of.
Lots of new stuff in the works as always, and some landing now. Here's a few tidbits on some of our bands; new tour dates and updates on Asterius, Hammers of Misfortune, Helvis, Khanate, Life of Agony, Omen, Place of Skulls, Probot, The Quill, SUNN 0)), Throcult, Trivium, YOB and more. So as they say in the best show in the universe Most Extreme Elimination Challenge "GET IT ON!!!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ASTERIUS
"Germany's Asterius travel amongst the stars on "A Moment Of Singularity". This isn't your typical symphonic metal record. It has a very cosmic feel to it, much like Covenant's "Nexus Polaris" album. The futuristic sound is opened up with the use of programming and synthesizers. Multi-faceted frontman Andrash has a million different voices up his sleeve - all of which get at least a little of the spotlight on this album. Clean spoken vocals, falsetto highs, guttural lows and robotic voices produced with the aid of a modulator all share center stage here and it is these voices that really help the feeling and atmosphere of the record. Each one is chosen to convey an emotion or to interplay with the music, making the voice like another instrument.As long as Asterius don't go off the deep end like other bands in this genre did (ahem The Kovenant), they have found a nice little niche to exploit and really explore. This is cyber metal at its finest. " - www.into-obscurity.com

HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE
The August Engine" (our second album) is now available on digipack CD worldwide. It can be purchased through Cruz Del Sur, Century Media, The End, etc. The Vinyl (which features entirely different front cover art) is still available through this site. Check the Merch page.
We just finished playing a bunch of shows locally, which were great fun. Thanks to all who came out! There are no upcoming shows to announce. We are taking a break to work on new material at the moment. We should be back in action by early next year. At last, our pics page is updated and working properly! It took long enough. Now you can clearly see what a bunch of goddamn freaks we are. Thanks to Ross Sewage for his invaluable assistance!
"...The August Engine is the perfect album to listen to as we head deep into autumn. The ample acoustic pieces of guitar and piano, and soft singing are a charming reminder of the falling leaves, while the powerful heaviness, quintessential harmonies and instrumental interplay signal what is yet again one of the finest heavy metal creations any fan could ask for. 10/10, if not more." - www.maelstrom.nu
[ www.hammersofmisfortune.com ]
HELVIS
Not a great deal of news over the last couple of months. We’re back working on LP Number 2, and have decided to continue as a 4 piece following the departure of Watty. We were going to get a new bassist and move Stabbo onto guitars, however it hasn’t worked out that way and we’re back to the line up we had 2 years ago!
The site needs a bit of work, so hopefully you’ll see a few changes on here soon with new photos from the last few shows, a couple of new MP3’s to download, and maybe a few tasty surprises if we get chance!
"Featuring members of Pitchshifter, Iron Monkey, The Varurkers, and Cerebral Fix, Helvis is England answer to their metal problem. “Reverence the Sacrifice†is both caustic and fast with a raw loudness that will have you running to the nearest pit and smashing yourself till you’re a bloody pulp. For fans of Napalm Death, Eyehategod, Soilent Green, and other disgustingly heavy bands with sick vocals but honestly who can match the cruel gravel-voiced Bloody Kev? I guarantee this will make you want to go across the pond and visit the UK." - www.smother.net “Editor’s Pickâ€

KHANATE
Khanate//Things Viral impressions from Attila Csihar:
"Open my ears and close my eyes ..a cold coridor in the twighlight of brain leading down to the labirinths of thoughts. Sounds disturbing the tired chaos from far. Incantations..
Slowly comes an edge.. touching the neck kindly. Its colder then the flesh. Crash! A piece of a broken mirror softly stroke through the coloumn up an down as a pendulum.
Falling down..deeper.. the alpha waves rising. Voice from far. I like that voice! Like an edge.. so sharp .. is the path between dreams and reality.. then crash! It gives liberation.
I offer my soul.. take it there.. i really like this journey. ..On the fields of rape.. guitar mantras from behind the gate to the nightmares.. its so calm.. perfect relaxing.. i feel my soul free..flying away.. go down.. deeper. Crash! Came when it had to come.
Gives wings down there.. another door.. cant see in the twilight exactly. Open. Nails passes. Bells on the chains.. love to go deeper.. to the source..closer.
Take my soul! I love this journey! Tuned down. Heart likes to follow this beats.. the voice calling from the other side of space.. im coming.. not sure which side of mirror is real. Then near my ears.. im listening. Choked voice, the noises.. touching.. mighty chaos in wires..they lead down there.
Now feel shame.. dying in everymoment.. slowly closer to the end.. step by step clock by clock. Its a decaying dimension everything fading out slowly. In this slow death called life.. feel the force KHANATE gives to pass.. to face with Doom and to be into that.. and the feedbacks taking me..Crash!"
If one of the leaders of some of the world's scariest metal has such a summary of Khanate to offer... yeah, Things Viral is some scathing, cruel stuff. Check out the scattering of East Coast tour dates coming up in the next few weeks.

PLACE OF SKULLS
-From the POS website 12/04/03:
"Well brothers and sisters, time for another look into our world of rock 'n' roll...the way we see it.
A year and a half ago, armed with an idea to bring together our styles and imagery to a single musical force, we laid down the groundwork for what we envisioned to be (and dubbed by the press) a super-group of doom metal. Together, we've stuck it out despite the pressure and stress of being in a band with members living in different states... not really the small feat it appears on the surface.
We've now come to an amicable and agreed decision that to continue this arrangement is no longer feasible. The travel to and fro has become more of a burden than we probably admitted to ourselves in the beginning…and scheduling our personal responsibilities and commitments to an ever-changing calendar is just no longer worth it. So as of now, Victor, Tim, & Dennis will continue onward with Place of Skulls, and Wino with The Hidden Hand.... " read the whole article at: [ www.placeofskulls.com ]
PROBOT
On November 16th 2003, TRUE FUCKING NIRVANA was reached! Lemmy (Motorhead), Wino (Place of Skulls, Hidden Hand, ) Dave Grohl (you know the guy!!) and 66 suicide girls (of www.suicidegirls.com fame) all converged on Sunset Blvd. for a special PROBOT video for the Probot track with Lemmy (Shake Your Blood). The sights and sounds of Lemmy, Wino, and Dave bashing away while the Suicide Girls writhed away on specially made bondage furniture ( www.dungeonfurniture.com ) was absolute heathen bliss!!! We will have exclusive footage soon, but for now..check this out: www.southernlord.com/probot/index.html.
The full album, totaling eleven hard-hitting tracks (plus a secret bonus track yet to be revealed), is to be released on February 10th, 2004 on Southern Lord Recordings and will be available on both CD and 2xLP format. Amazingly enough, the 2-track 7" limited to 6,666 copies has already sold out via mailorder and retail preorders in a matter of less than 2 weeks!!! There were a bunch picked up and shipped to retailiers and the record does go on sale next week, so if you didn't pick one up yet get to a kick-ass store in your area early next week and find that bugger, cause it ain't gonna' be repressed!!!

We spent some time in the studio with Jason (Audio Hammer Studios) last week and recorded 3 new tracks - we will post one of the new tracks titled: “Like Light To The Flies†on the web site 12/24/2003 – we head to Morris Sound Studios for mastering on 12/8/2003.
A major priority for us in January is the making of a music video – we are in discussions now and hopefully will finalize the details over the next few weeks – we may have more information for the 12/24/2003 year end news update.

YOB
YOB has been hard at work playing shows and writing material for our 3rd effort. We have all of the material written and gig tested.... YOB did a west coast tour in July on 2003. We had a blast! Thank you to all that came to see us and to all the bands we played with.. specially to Greg Anderson for putting the Genocide/Nausea show! and to the band Ghostride (ex-will haven) for their friendship, support and 4 awesome shows together!!
We are planning shows for the rest of the year.... We will have a record release show/party December 6th at Berbati's Pan in Portland!! Thank you Rynn for booking us this show!! We love you!! I am sure we will have a CD release show in Eugene, out hometown....? That is all for now. We will be constantly putting tons fo cool info. on the band. Please check again as we will be growing the site with more goodies!!
Over and out, YOB
"It must be something in the Pacific Northwest water that makes for uncanny and unpretentious metal of righteous fashion. Fans are still cowering in the aftermath of what used to be Sleep (hail - rock on High on Fire!). However, the rising might that is Portland's YOB come blazing forth with a record of such gargantuan status that it will leave you a mere spec of doom ooze just waiting (more like begging) for another dose. Catharsis is the label debut from this three-piece that is sure to find its way to the hearts of doom and rock fans world-over. Vocalist/guitarist Mike Sheidt is truly a man possessed. His demon-enticed delivery on each of the album's meaty tracks single-handedly makes this a band to watch as doom's new gods. And the pleasure does not stop there. "Monumental riffed out DOOM. A statement of purpose - a bold step into the void left by Sleep. Slower, more compressed, oozing a monolithic black tar that will make you it's slave" says Stonerrock.com. Expect to hear a lot about this band in the coming months!" - Abstract Music

A year and a half ago, armed with an idea to bring together our styles and imagery to a single musical force, we laid down the groundwork for what we envisioned to be (and dubbed by the press) a super-group of doom metal. Together, we've stuck it out despite the pressure and stress of being in a band with members living in different states... not really the small feat it appears on the surface.
We've now come to an amicable and agreed decision that to continue this arrangement is no longer feasible. The travel to and fro has become more of a burden than we probably admitted to ourselves in the beginning…and scheduling our personal responsibilities and commitments to an ever-changing calendar is just no longer worth it. So as of now, Victor, Tim, & Dennis will continue onward with Place of Skulls, and Wino with The Hidden Hand.... " read the whole article at: [ www.placeofskulls.com ]
PROBOT
On November 16th 2003, TRUE FUCKING NIRVANA was reached! Lemmy (Motorhead), Wino (Place of Skulls, Hidden Hand, ) Dave Grohl (you know the guy!!) and 66 suicide girls (of www.suicidegirls.com fame) all converged on Sunset Blvd. for a special PROBOT video for the Probot track with Lemmy (Shake Your Blood). The sights and sounds of Lemmy, Wino, and Dave bashing away while the Suicide Girls writhed away on specially made bondage furniture ( www.dungeonfurniture.com ) was absolute heathen bliss!!! We will have exclusive footage soon, but for now..check this out: www.southernlord.com/probot/index.html.
The full album, totaling eleven hard-hitting tracks (plus a secret bonus track yet to be revealed), is to be released on February 10th, 2004 on Southern Lord Recordings and will be available on both CD and 2xLP format. Amazingly enough, the 2-track 7" limited to 6,666 copies has already sold out via mailorder and retail preorders in a matter of less than 2 weeks!!! There were a bunch picked up and shipped to retailiers and the record does go on sale next week, so if you didn't pick one up yet get to a kick-ass store in your area early next week and find that bugger, cause it ain't gonna' be repressed!!!

YOB
YOB has been hard at work playing shows and writing material for our 3rd effort. We have all of the material written and gig tested.... YOB did a west coast tour in July on 2003. We had a blast! Thank you to all that came to see us and to all the bands we played with.. specially to Greg Anderson for putting the Genocide/Nausea show! and to the band Ghostride (ex-will haven) for their friendship, support and 4 awesome shows together!!
We are planning shows for the rest of the year.... We will have a record release show/party December 6th at Berbati's Pan in Portland!! Thank you Rynn for booking us this show!! We love you!! I am sure we will have a CD release show in Eugene, out hometown....? That is all for now. We will be constantly putting tons fo cool info. on the band. Please check again as we will be growing the site with more goodies!!
Over and out, YOB
"It must be something in the Pacific Northwest water that makes for uncanny and unpretentious metal of righteous fashion. Fans are still cowering in the aftermath of what used to be Sleep (hail - rock on High on Fire!). However, the rising might that is Portland's YOB come blazing forth with a record of such gargantuan status that it will leave you a mere spec of doom ooze just waiting (more like begging) for another dose. Catharsis is the label debut from this three-piece that is sure to find its way to the hearts of doom and rock fans world-over. Vocalist/guitarist Mike Sheidt is truly a man possessed. His demon-enticed delivery on each of the album's meaty tracks single-handedly makes this a band to watch as doom's new gods. And the pleasure does not stop there. "Monumental riffed out DOOM. A statement of purpose - a bold step into the void left by Sleep. Slower, more compressed, oozing a monolithic black tar that will make you it's slave" says Stonerrock.com. Expect to hear a lot about this band in the coming months!" - Abstract Music

DAVID COVERDALE: No One But Me Has The Right To Use 'WHITESNAKE' Name
WHITESNAKE frontman David Coverdale recently commented on his former bandmates' decision to use the "classic WHITESNAKE" banner for their new project, M3.
M3, who feature in their ranks Bernie Marsden (guitar, ex-WHITESNAKE), Micky Moody (guitar, ex-WHITESNAKE), Neil Murray (ex-WHITESNAKE, BLACK SABBATH), Tony Martin (vocals, ex-BLACK SABBATH), Jimmy Copley (drums, ex-PAUL RODGERS, GILLAN, BECK), and Mark Stanway (keyboards, ex-MAGNUM), issued a live album last month recorded during the band's appearance at The Robin 2, Mount Pleasant in Bilston, U.K. on August 13.
Writing to his official message board, Coverdale said, "I was with DEEP PURPLE for three years. I wrote the majority of the music while I was there. But that doesn't give me the 'right' to call myself, or my band, DEEP PURPLE...
"I thought they were called THE COMPANY OF SNAKES... THE SNAKES… M3???
"It isn't anything to do with their 'right' to play WHITESNAKE music. Anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, has that same right. They just can't call themselves WHITESNAKE, and they are fully aware of that. It is the fact that they promote themselves as 'WHITESNAKE' which makes it confusing to many people.
"My former colleagues are very aware of the situation. I started the band, and I put the players together. Also I came up with the name WHITESNAKE, REGISTERED the name, so, in fact, I do actually own the name WHITESNAKE.
" 'We' didn't start the band together as a 'band'. The band was originally put together by me to promote my solo career after DEEP PURPLE. I am entitled to the name and the band identity I created, and as long as I am not featured in any particular musical line-up comprising of former members of WHITESNAKE, whoever it is will not be entitled to call themselves WHITESNAKE. It's as simple as that."
In other news, Coverdale has announced that he will become a grandfather early next year. "[Daughter] Jessica told me three weeks ago, and asked me to keep it quiet until her doctor gave his blessings to announce it. So, my sincere congratulations to my beloved daughter and my beloved son-in-law on this WONDERFUL news. I can hardly wait!!! For those of you curious, she's at 15 weeks."
Also on the Coverdale-related front, David's wife Cindy recently collaborated with Margie Lapanja, author of "Food Men Love", "Goddess in the Kitchen", and the upcoming "Romancing the Stove", on a cookbook entitled "Food That Rocks! Celebrated Recipes from Music's Legendary Kitchens".
Due in February 2004 through Conari Press, "Food That Rocks! Celebrated Recipes from Music's Legendary Kitchens" is being described as "a cookbook all about delicious bliss — your favorite foods, personal signature recipes, and food-inspired songs. This charity-based anthology will also profile musician-owned restaurants, cookbooks penned by musicians, and entertaining music/food trivia."
Proceeds from "Food That Rocks!" are targeted for charity, primarily Freedom from Hunger, a U.S.-based organization that helps women and their families in developing countries break free from poverty by promoting sustainable lifestyles through education and assistance (www.freedomfromhunger.org).

FEAR FACTORY Guitarist Says There Will Be No 'Radio Mixes' Done For New Album

Original CRYPTOPSY Vocalist Rejoins The Fold
Canadian technical death metallers CRYPTOPSY have been officially rejoined by original vocalist Lord Worm.
Lord Worm, who sang on the band's first two albums — 1994's "Blasphemy Made Flesh" (Displeased) and 1995's "None So Vile" (Wrong Again) — has announced his return to CRYPTOPSY via the following posting on the group's web site:
" 'Un mal pour un bien', I've heard it said, and those seven long years ago, unhappy though I was at leaving (for a private question of honour, not beer), it was nonetheless for the best. Now, we've come full circle, and again a private question of honour finds me back in the fold. 'It is so. It cannot be otherwise.' See you soon..."
CRYPTOPSY's most recent vocalist, Martin Lacroix (ex-SPASME) — who appeared on the band's 2003 live release, "None So Live" — left the group in October for undisclosed reasons. CRYPTOPSY are currently writing material for their fifth studio album, tentatively due in early 2004 through Century Media Records.

Report: OZZY OSBOURNE Claims Doctor Overprescribed Medication
A Beverly Hills physician who prescribed a host of powerful medications to Ozzy Osbourne, causing the star of the hit reality series "The Osbournes" to be in a perpetual stupor, was under investigation for overprescribing drugs to other celebrity patients while he was treating Osbourne, according to a report published in the Los Angeles Times.
Prescription records show that Dr. David A. Kipper had Osbourne on an array of potent drugs — opiates, tranquilizers, amphetamines, antidepressants, even an antipsychotic, according to the report
The singer said he swallowed as many as 42 pills a day.
"I was wiped out on pills," said Osbourne, who fired Kipper in September, more than a year after becoming his patient. "I couldn't talk. I couldn't walk. I could barely stand up. I was lumbering about like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It got to the point where I was scared to close my eyes at night — afraid I might not wake up."
The state medical board last week moved to revoke Kipper's license, accusing him of gross negligence in his treatment of other patients.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, medical director of the chemical dependency program at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, said the regimen was especially risky for someone like Osbourne.
"This was an extreme amount of medication for a doctor to prescribe to a patient with an addiction history," Pinsky said. "On my chemical unit, patients like this are not allowed to be exposed to any of these kinds of addictive drugs."
Kipper charged the couple $650,000 for his services from June 2002 until they fired him three months ago, records show. The medications he prescribed cost them an additional $58,000.
In August, Osbourne was invited to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field in Chicago. He slurred his way through the song, mangling the familiar lyrics.
The scene was replayed repeatedly on national TV.
"Ozzy was overmedicated," Sharon Osbourne said. "He couldn't speak. He couldn't walk. He was falling over. Ozzy would call Kipper and tell him how bad he was feeling, and Kipper would say: 'Take five more of those and 10 more of these.' It was insane."
After the Wrigley Field fiasco, Sharon said, she had had enough. She said she called Kipper and told him to stay away from her husband.
Then, on the advice of a friend, she scheduled an appointment for Ozzy with Dr. Allan H. Ropper, chief of neurology at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston.
Osbourne flew to Boston in September and met with Ropper.
"He was absolutely flabbergasted about the kinds and amounts of medication that I was on," Ozzy said. "He asked me, 'Where are you getting all these pills from?' Then he just threw everything in the trash."
Osbourne said the doctor weaned him off Kipper's medications and wrote him prescriptions for three drugs, primarily to treat what the singer described as a hereditary tremor.
A Beverly Hills physician who prescribed a host of powerful medications to Ozzy Osbourne, causing the star of the hit reality series "The Osbournes" to be in a perpetual stupor, was under investigation for overprescribing drugs to other celebrity patients while he was treating Osbourne, according to a report published in the Los Angeles Times.
Prescription records show that Dr. David A. Kipper had Osbourne on an array of potent drugs — opiates, tranquilizers, amphetamines, antidepressants, even an antipsychotic, according to the report
The singer said he swallowed as many as 42 pills a day.
"I was wiped out on pills," said Osbourne, who fired Kipper in September, more than a year after becoming his patient. "I couldn't talk. I couldn't walk. I could barely stand up. I was lumbering about like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It got to the point where I was scared to close my eyes at night — afraid I might not wake up."
The state medical board last week moved to revoke Kipper's license, accusing him of gross negligence in his treatment of other patients.
Dr. Drew Pinsky, medical director of the chemical dependency program at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, said the regimen was especially risky for someone like Osbourne.
"This was an extreme amount of medication for a doctor to prescribe to a patient with an addiction history," Pinsky said. "On my chemical unit, patients like this are not allowed to be exposed to any of these kinds of addictive drugs."

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM Drummer Checks In With DVD Update
FLOTSAM AND JETSAM drummer Craig Nielsen has posted the following message on the band's web site:
"Sorry for not posting in a while... Actually the DVD is still in the hands of the company who filmed it, Ultrafilms. They have said no less that 6 different dates it was to be delivered to the label. They are a fairly hot company right now, and from what I can tell they have more work than they can handle for their size and this is maybe why it has been slow in getting wrapped up. They have had the master recording for over 3 months now and the latest date of delivery to the label was sometime next week. This has been very frustrating to the band, but from what they have told me personally, it is coming out great.
"As far as the METALLICA tribute DVD, [producer] Bob Kulick has informed us that they have decided to release it through an as-yet-undisclosed label they are in the final stages of negotiation with, a label much bigger than the one it was originally intended for, Cleopatra. FLOTSAM still has the lead track on it, 'Damage Inc.', but of course that could change. Like I've said before, it came out better than I ever imagined... [Singer Eric] A.K. [Knutson] nailed it in less than 2 studio hours. The energy on it comes all the way across. As far as live shows, there isn't much point until the DVD is released, which at this rate looks to be at least late March."

SHARON OSBOURNE Talks About The RANDY RHOADS Sexual Encounter
Sharon Osbourne appeared on the "Howard Stern Show" on Friday (December 5) to discuss her family's upcoming book, "Ordinary People: Our Story", and the recent revelation that she cheated on Ozzy in 1980 with his then-guitarist Randy Rhoads.
According to a synopsis of Friday's show (as reported by MarksFriggin.com), "Howard asked Sharon Osbourne about the claims she made about sleeping with Randy [Rhoads] back before she and Ozzy were married. Howard said he knows that the book company probably asked them to reveal some stuff they never revealed before and this is what Sharon came up with. Howard and Robin heard that Ozzy can't even talk about it since hearing about this. Sharon kept saying that she and Ozzy weren't married at the time so she wasn't cheating. Howard said that she was in a relationship with Ozzy though and this shouldn't have come out. Howard went on to tell her that she's so well taken care of being Ozzy's wife. He told her that Ozzy has given her the best life.
"Howard told Sharon that if his wife told him something like that, it would be embarrassing to him. He said she should never have done that. Sharon said she was not married and Ozzy was still married to his wife Thelma at the time. Sharon said this was all back in 1980. Howard said that Randy died in 1982 and asked her if she'd had sex with a corpse. She didn't sound like she was in the mood to hear that though. Sharon went on to tell Howard how she and Ozzy were together for about a month and Ozzy's wife didn't know about it at the time. She had to leave his house one night and she went off with Randy. They got drunk and had sex. That was all that happened according to her. Sharon told Ozzy about the incident the day after it happened, and Ozzy whacked her.
"Howard said that Sharon was heavy back then so he was even more impressed that she was able to get guys. He wondered what she's able to do to get guys like that. He wondered if it's oral or anal or what... He said she must have some vagina control or something. He said that Randy could have had any woman he wanted back then and he picked her for some reason. She said she is kind of sorry that she wrote this in her book and didn't want to ever embarrass Ozzy by doing so. She told Robin that she adores Ozzy and could never cheat on someone. She said she was only with him for one month at the time so it wasn't like they were in a serious relationship at the time. She told Howard he was making it sound like she'd slept with the entire English Army. Howard said Ozzy could probably deal with that better than her sleeping with his best friend.
"Howard asked Sharon if all of her kids are actually Ozzy's. He and Artie goofed on that for a minute and joked that she'd had Randy killed because her oldest daughter was actually his. She said her oldest is 20 years old and Randy died 23 years ago.
"Sharon said she only slept with Randy one time. Howard said he remembers a girl cheating on him with one of his best friends and nothing hurts like that. Howard continued to ask Sharon if she performed oral on Randy. She said that they just had regular sex. She also said she kept most of her clothes on when that happened. She said Ozzy is the only one she's slept with with all of her clothes off. She said Randy didn't use a rubber back then because it was the '80's. Howard wanted to know where Randy's 'DNA' ended up. She said she couldn't remember that far back. Howard asked if he banged her from behind. She said her knickers were down to her ankles and the rest of her clothes were on. Artie asked if he banged her over a drunk Ozzy. Sharon didn't seem to think that was very funny at all. She told Howard that she was jealous of Ozzy's wife back then and that's why she slept with Randy. Howard said he thinks that's why Ozzy shakes these days. It's all because she told him about sleeping with Randy. Howard also asked her if she ever gave Tony Iommi oral. Sharon's reply was negative.
"Howard also brought up how Jack is getting laid like crazy. He lost his virginity at 14 and he doesn't even think sex is special anymore because he can get laid so easy. Sharon eventually said that she should have kept her mouth shut about that part of her life. Sharon said that she cares what Howard thinks of her even though she doesn't care about what anyone else thinks. Sharon said the book doesn't come out until January."

USURPER Split With Singer, Vow To Carry On
Chicago death/thrash lords USURPER have officially parted ways with vocalist General Diabolical Slaughter. However, the band, who have no intentions of breaking up, will still go ahead with their previously announced performance at the "Holidays Of Horror Six" Festival (with the help of a "special guest vocals) on December 26, according to a posting on the group's web site.
The following is USURPER guitarist Rick S. Scythe's official statement on the matter:
"The rumors are true, General Diabolical Slaughter has quit USURPER! I would like to say this is a shock, but it isn't. Unfortunately the General's substance abuse problems and his declining health have been factors for the last year or so. The last tour we did this summer with ENSLAVED was definitely an eye opener. Not only did we have a lame replacement drummer in the band, but the General was so fucked up that he couldn't remember most of the lyrics, even to songs we've been playing for 10 years. On top of that, his health problems negatively affected his stage presence, as well as his shitty attitude. We knew we had a problem with the General, but we were optimistic.
"We thought that getting the original drummer back in the band would spark an interest in USURPER again. For the rest of us, it did. USURPER was running like a well oiled tank again! We were playing old songs that we haven't played in many years with a new surge of energy, and the songs off 'Twilight Dominion' sounded even better than on the album. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for the vocals. On the days that the General actually did show up to practice, he not only couldn't remember any lyrics, but he couldn't catch his breath while singing and he was visibly unhealthy looking.
"We all tried to talk to the General about his decline, but he never wanted to discuss the matter. The rest of the band was feeling he needed some time away to get healthy again. Not that we're straight edge health nuts or something, because we're not. We all love to drink and have a good time, but the difference is that the rest of us know our limits. We never let any substances alter our ability to perform. And none of us would ever hit the stage without being 100% able to deliver the goods both musically and physically.
"We wanted to tour Europe early 2004, but knew that the General was in no shape to walk up a few flights of stairs, much less travel to Europe and hit the road. So we figured we would do the Internet concert and then finish the year with the 'Holidays Of Horror' festival here in Chicago. After our obligations for 2003 were done, we decided that me and Joe (Apocalyptic Warlord, drums) would work on some new songs, and then regroup, tour Europe in the summer, and then come back and prepare to record a new album. We felt that by April 2004, if General wasn't up to par both musically and physically, then we'd officially do the Euro tour and the next album without him.
"We did our Internet radio concert on November 8th this year, and he seemed fine. He had to sit down during the performance, and he needed to read all the lyrics off a piece of paper, but we had a blast. Even the General had a new sense of energy... or so it seemed. But then out of nowhere he left me a voice message on my phone on Monday November 10 saying that he 'was done' and that he felt he was a wreck, and never wanted to sing again. He said he just wanted to smoke weed, drink, eat and play video games. I talked to him on the phone after I got the message and tried to convince him to at least do the 'Holiday Of Horror' Fest. He said he would get back to me, but never did.
"The rest of the band called him and tried to convince him to end his career on a high note. To do the show, announce his retirement on stage and give the fans something to remember him by. We thought he should do it out of respect for the name USURPER, out of respect for the die-hard USURPER 'Necrocult Warriors of Iron and Rust' as well as for Chicago Metal history... this was the first time, (and possibly the only time) the two biggest extreme metal bands from Chicago, (MACABRE and USURPER) were to do a show together. General said that he didn't care about any of those factors... So that's it. The General is officially out of USURPER.
"What does all this mean? First of all, USURPER IS NOT BREAKING UP!!! The rest of the band is sounding better than ever, and we all knew that the General was probably not going to be part of the band starting in 2004. We knew that we almost definitely needed to get a new singer, someone who has the ways of old metal pumping through their metal heart, we just thought the General would handle his departure from the band with some dignity and class. We thought he would want to end his career on a high note, finish his obligations, and pass the torch down to next heir to the USURPER mic... but he didn't.
"Also, lyrically nothing will change. Since 'Skeletal Season' was written (1997,1998), I wrote about 90% of the lyrics, and on 'Necronemesis' (2000), I actually wrote 100% of the lyrics, and I always wrote almost all of the music. So lyrically and musically the General's departure will have no effect on USURPER.
"Finally, USURPER will still play the December 26 concert here in Chicago (directly supporting MACABRE for the Holidays Of Horror Fest at Metro, 3730 North Clark Steet, Chicago, Illinois 60613). Instead of marking the end of one phase, it will triumphantly mark the beginning of a new phase. Once again USURPER IS NOT BREAKING UP!!!"

ANDREW W.K. To Host His Own MTV2 Show
ANDREW W.K. has been asked by MTV2 to host his own show. According to the singer, "Originally I had so many ideas and plans that I could barely think. I mean, my own TV show? I can do anything I want! WOW! At first I wanted to do something really planned out — something more in a studio where the focus was super singular, but then after thinking about it more, I realized that I just wanted to talk and hang out with people. I thought it would be much better if the show wasn't only about me, but about all the awesome people that are part of what we're doing and part of the world. You know? It's going to be a show where anybody can have the chance to be on, and we'll just do stuff. My main idea with that is to solve problems, or give advice and help. You know? All I'm really thinking is that I want it to be OUR thing, not just a show where you watch this one guy do everything, but a show where you can watch your friends and people do cool stuff and work on basic things. Someone can write in to us, and if choose them we'll go to their house and hang out and talk about their life and their family and school and problems and good stuff and bad stuff... whatever. We'll go to people's work and help them out on the job and see what they're doing and how they make it happen. You'll see! All I know is that it's going to be awesome... and it's up to you to make it really great! Together we will do this, and we will do it all the way!
"Anyway, we're not exactly sure when the show starts, but we're going to start filming it right away this December and January 2003-2004. We have a lot of stuff to film, so we'll be working on it for a while. It's right in the beginning, but it will race forward before we even know it. Just keep your eyes wide and bloodshot with a fresh water drop and look at the information that comes from where it counts!"

DIABLO Enter Finnish Single Chart At No. 3!
DIABLO's new single, "Read My Scars", has entered the official Finnish single chart at position No. 3 "Read My Scars" comes off the Finnish aggro-metallers' third album, "Eternium", due on January 16 through Gaga Goodies/Poko Records.
The follow-up to 2002's "Renaissance" was recorded at Fantom studios and is being described by guitarist/vocalist Rainer Nygård as "for sure the heaviest DIABLO album so far.

"Tempo Of The Damned" was recorded at Prairie Sun and Tsunami studios in Northern California with producer Andy Sneap (MACHINE HEAD, SKINLAB, ARCH ENEMY) and marks the group's first studio release since 1992's "Force Of Habit".

Both clips are expected to begin airing in early 2004.

BEHEMOTH Extend Contract With OLYMPIC RECORDINGS
Polish black/death metallers BEHEMOTH have extended their contract with Olympic Recordings. The group have already commenced the songwriting process for their highly anticipated new album and will enter the studio in early spring with hopes for a late 2004 release.
This has been a breakthrough year for BEHEMOTH, who made their U.S. live debut at the New Jersey March Metal Meltdown festival, which served as the kickoff date for an extensive nationwide tour alongside DEICIDE and AMON AMARTH. From there, they appeared on the first three dates of the now-infamous "Metal Gods" tour headlined by HALFORD and TESTAMENT, as well as the inaugural "Blackest of the Black" festivals (also featuring DANZIG, SUPERJOINT RITUAL, OPETH, NILE and LACUNA COIL). BEHEMOTH capped off the year supporting SIX FEET UNDER on the "Un-Natural Born Killers" tour, and with the release of the limited-edition "Conjuration" EP, featuring one new song, two covers and several live tracks.
Nergal (vocals/guitars) recently checked in with the following update: "At the moment we are taking a short break before we strike again in a few days. After doing 31 dates with SIX FEET UNDER, SKINLESS and AS I LAY DYING we decided to stay a few weeks in LA. to take care of some important stuff. We are proud to announce that we finally signed a new two-album deal with Olympic Recordings for North and South America. It gives us a lot of opportunities for the future and from what we've experienced so far, the label does its best to push the band really hard. Now we are focusing on rehearsing the new set for the three last shows this year with EXHUMED and RISE and this time we're gonna play a longer set. There will be two shows in California and one in Mexico, and I'm sure it will be killer! See ya all there!!!"
Upcoming BEHEMOTH tour dates:
Dec. 10 - Allen Theatre - Los Angeles, CA
Dec. 11 - Showcase Theater - Corona, CA
Dec. 13 - Voodoo House - Tijuana, MEX

DRY KILL LOGIC Part Ways With Bassist, Seek Replacement
New York-based DRY KILL LOGIC have parted ways with bassist Dave Kowatch and are currently seeking a replacement.
"After 10 years with the band Dave Kowatch has decided to leave [DRY KILL LOGIC], and we wish him the best with all his future plans," vocalist Cliff Rigano said in an official statement. "That being said, as we wrap up recording the new album, we will be looking for a new bass player. If you know anyone interested, have them submit a package (CD, bio, pic, etc.) to Psychodrama Records, Attn: DKL BASSIST SEARCH, PO Box 1490, Port Chester NY 10573."
The band, who parted ways with Roadrunner Records last year after releasing one album through the company, are continuing work on the material for their sophomore CD, tentatively due early next year through an as-yet-undetermined label.
"We went in last Wednesday to track drums for three new songs that we wrote last week," said Cliff. "The good part about all this free time is that we get to make sure that only the best songs make it onto the new record, and these 3 definitely CRUSH. We're busting our ass not only to make sure this record is the BEST record it can be, but also to get it the f**k out, so we're optimistic that it will all be worked out early in the New Year."

SKINLESS On Death Metal Scene: 'The Posers Are Few, The Followers Are Devout'
New York-based death metallers SKINLESS have posted the following message on their web site:
"We fulfilled our own prophecies by calling this the 'Nation Retardation' tour because that is exactly what it became... while it was by not an overwhelmingly negative tour we were met with new challenges every day.
"If there is one thing that I want our fans to know it's that many decisions are made that are totally out of our hands. With the poor economy and the music business literally on its knees, promoters are more likely than ever to flake on their end of the deal. A majority of promoters care about the bands and realize that a shows success is directly attributable to the band's performance. There are a handful out there that are just out for the quick buck and will cut every corner. Quite frequently we are shorted on food and basic rider requirements, something that the promoters are contractually obligated to provide but many times they pocket the money that should have been designated to feed the bands. This really sucks for 6 guys who have been riding hours upon hours in a van without anything real to eat and when people get hungry tensions run high.
"For a band like SKINLESS there is much more than taking the stage the for 40 min every night, many times we travel 300-600 miles to each show. We are responsible for getting ourselves where we have to go safely, loading all our own equipment, setting up, performing, tearing down and loading out and driving to the next city, it's hard WORK. Every day just like everyone else has to go to work, we do to but we don't get to come home to our own beds every night. This makes it that more frustrating when a promoter doses not fulfill their end of the bargain. It's impossible for the human body to function properly with out at least one good meal a day.
"The bottom line is fighting with promoters over a couple bucks for food makes a negative impact on the nights performance for any band. Hunger aside, the absolute worst is playing a show for very appreciative fans who paid hard earned money for the show and having a promoter tell you at the end that you will not be getting paid. The guys who do this are not part of the scene they don't even come to the shows, they sit at home and wait for the money they STOLE from the bands. These types of promoters are the worst because they never have the balls to tell you to your face that they are going to rip you off.
"One last thing about shitty promoters and I'll move on to the positives. Promoters will often get cold feet at the last minute when they book a show due to poor pre-sales, metal has always been mostly a 'walk up' business meaning people buy their tickets at the door and not in advance to avoid Ticketmaster surcharges etc.. A couple shows on this tour were cancelled BY THE PROMOTERS. Frequently they will try and blame it on the bands but it's never the case. We're ready to play any show we're booked on. If we are physically able to play the show we are there. If we're not available to play we simply are not booked on the show, many times promoters will use the bands name knowing they were never booked or knowing the band has cancelled weeks in advance. Trust that we are here for the fans and know that there are greedy bastards out there that have no place in the scene that try to turn us on each other.
"With that negativity behind us, the real reason we are on the road is for you, the fan. It's certainly not for the money cause we're all back to the pizza shops and our normal jobs now that the tour is over.
"I swear the pizza business keeps Death Metal alive! We exist for the excitement of the fans and to deliver the music that makes us feel alive in a different venue and different city every night. I've come to realize that this music chooses you, it's in your blood. It's not something you can escape or separate yourself from, metal comes from within. What I love about this scene is the trueness of the fans, either you live for this music or you don't. The posers are few, the followers are devout."

TOMMY LEE And PINK's Toilet Thrill
The New York Post is reporting that couple du jour Tommy Lee (ex-MÖTLEY CRÜE) and singer Pink livened up Lotus last week when they were caught engaging in some kinky coupling in the men's room. Promoter Ronnie Madras, who hosts Lotus' Friday night party, tells the Post he walked in on Lee simulating sex with Pink in front of a urinal. That touching romantic moment was preceded by Lee, Pink and a sexy young gal with a blond mohawk taking turns making out with each other at their banquette, when Lee wasn't using two forks to play drums on their metal Champagne bucket.

JASON NEWSTED Comments On OZZY Departure
Former METALLICA/current VOIVOD bassist Jason Newsted has issued the following statement regarding his recent departure from OZZY OSBOURNE's band:
"I would like to thank the Osbournes for including VOIVOD in their tours this year. I am honored to have had the privilege to share the stage with Ozzy, [guitarist] Zakk [Wylde] and [drummer] Mike [Bordin] through a very successful summer. It was a blast playing old BLACK SABBATH songs with this band!
"My agreement with the Osbournes was to play bass for the gigs that Ozzy had committed to through December 2003. I wish Ozzy the best as he continues to fly the flag for metal!
"I am excited to be back making new music with VOIVOD. The Chophouse studio is fired up and ready for the creation of the next album.

ROB ZOMBIE Launches 'Creepy' New Business Venture
Rob Zombie and author-cartoonist Steve Niles have created Creep Entertainment International, a horror-themed production company, according to Variety.
The company will begin with three comic book projects that, down the road, are expected to be adapted for films: "The Nail" with Dark Horse Comics, "Bigfoot" with IDW Comics, and "Lords of Salem", a combo music-comics project.
All tales were co-written by Zombie and Niles. The books will be illustrated by some established comic talents.
"Comics have become the storyboards for movies," Zombie told Variety. "All our comicbooks are stand-alones and are done in a movie way. We're actually working backwards — these look like comic adaptations of films."
Niles has already started to write "The Nail", which is peopled with 1970s-style satanic bikers and wrestlers. "Lords of Salem" is based on a satanic band.
In other news, Rock Rage is reporting that Rob Zombie's horror sequel, "House of 1000 Corpses 2", appears to have been pushed back from its originally projected April 2004 release date.
In a posting on Bloody-Disgusting.com, Brad Miska — who also goes by "Mr. Disgusting" — revealed that "I received word from both ['Corpses' stars] Sid Haig and Bill Moseley who both told me the same disappointing news — that they haven't heard much from Zombie as of late — only that the script is in fact completed. Hopefully this won't drag out again, but I can pretty much guarantee that an April release is out of the question, unless of course some sort of miracle happens."
As previously reported, Rob Zombie has begun work on the follow-up to his 2001 CD, "The Sinister Urge", tentatively due in late 2004 through Geffen Records.

The company will begin with three comic book projects that, down the road, are expected to be adapted for films: "The Nail" with Dark Horse Comics, "Bigfoot" with IDW Comics, and "Lords of Salem", a combo music-comics project.
All tales were co-written by Zombie and Niles. The books will be illustrated by some established comic talents.
"Comics have become the storyboards for movies," Zombie told Variety. "All our comicbooks are stand-alones and are done in a movie way. We're actually working backwards — these look like comic adaptations of films."
Niles has already started to write "The Nail", which is peopled with 1970s-style satanic bikers and wrestlers. "Lords of Salem" is based on a satanic band.
In other news, Rock Rage is reporting that Rob Zombie's horror sequel, "House of 1000 Corpses 2", appears to have been pushed back from its originally projected April 2004 release date.
In a posting on Bloody-Disgusting.com, Brad Miska — who also goes by "Mr. Disgusting" — revealed that "I received word from both ['Corpses' stars] Sid Haig and Bill Moseley who both told me the same disappointing news — that they haven't heard much from Zombie as of late — only that the script is in fact completed. Hopefully this won't drag out again, but I can pretty much guarantee that an April release is out of the question, unless of course some sort of miracle happens."

GENE SIMMONS Explains Book-Signing Cancellation: I Was So Sick I Almost Collapsed
KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons was so sick prior to his scheduled book-signing session in Tampa, Florida last Thursday (Dec. 4) that he "almost collapsed," according to Gene's latest posting on his web site.
Says Gene: "To all the people in Tampa who where expecting the book signing to happen: I had to cancel. By mid-afternoon of the day, I almost collapsed, and was rushed back to the hotel, where I stayed in bed for two days trying to break my bronchitis and flu symptoms. You have my apologies.
"Even though at the beginning of the day I wasn't feeling great, I thought I could make it through the signing. I was wrong.
"We had a show in Jacksonville the following night and I had to get up on stage and put out. Lenny Kravitz was there to cheer us on. But honestly, when I got off the stage, I holed up in a local hotel for two days and never got out of bed. It's been a few days since then, and all the symptoms haven't gone as yet.
"Again, my apologies to all of you who were expecting the Tampa book signing.
"I am in Louisville for the show. And, tomorrow there is a Louisville book signing. I will be there. Still not feeling great. But, I will make it."
When accused by a self-proclaimed "ex-Gene fan" named Lisa in the "Letters" section of his web site of lying to his fans about being sick when he was in fact seen walking around the mall later in the day, Gene said, "I did, in fact walk about a mall in town in the afternoon. I then almost passed out at the mall. I had four guests with me, in case your friends didn't mention it."

WINDIR Sign With TABU RECORDINGS
Norwegian metallers WINDIR have inked a deal with Tabu Recordings.
The band, who had previously released four albums through the Norwegian label Head Not Found, are a highly acclaimed live act, having performed at such Norwegian festivals like the Inferno, Quart and Hole In The Sky.
In July of this year, WINDIR played their first U.S. dates, which included an appearance at the Milwaukee Metal Fest, where they performed alongside such acts as ENSLAVED, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, M.O.D., NUCLEAR ASSAULT and BODY COUNT. These shows were followed by a very successful headlining Norwegian tour in the Autumn. The tour included headlining shows at both Mosh Fest and the 1001 Watt festival.
WINDIR's first album for Tabu Recordings will be recorded at Sweden's Abyss Studio over a four-week period in May-July 2004, and is scheduled for release in October.

Review: IRON MAIDEN Break The Sound Barrier
The Evening Times is reporting that heavy metal veterans IRON MAIDEN rocked the SECC in Glasgow so hard Monday night (Dec. 8) they blew the sound system in an awe-inspiring set that delivered a full-on dose of rock theatrics.
The audience in the packed auditorium was so eager to get close to their heroes that there was a small crowd-crush at the front of the stage, causing frontman Bruce Dickinson to stop the set only two songs in, urging the crowd to take two steps back so that the people who had fallen could get up again.
"We want to be taking people out of here tonight happy — we don't want to be taking them out in body-bags," he cautioned.
After a short breather, the band launched back with "Can I Play With Madness", Dickinson star-jumping and leaping around the set, with a boundless energy that would leave young pretenders THE DARKNESS breathless.
The gig almost came to a premature end when, after a thunderous intro with bombshells exploding and a storm of light and smoke, the band launched into extra-heavy riffs and the sound immediately cut dead.

MALEVOLENT CREATION Name New Album
Florida death metal veterans MALEVOLENT CREATION have set "Warkult" as the title for their ninth full-length album, tentatively due in June 2004 through Nuclear Blast Records.
The follow-up to 2002's "The Will To Kill" will be recorded in February with producer Jean-Francois Degenais (KATAKLYSM, MISERY INDEX) and will coincide with the band's planned European summer festival appearances.
"As is [the case] with each MALEVOLENT CREATION album, our goal is to create the heaviest album we can and this album is no exception!" guitarist Phil Fasciana said in a press release.
Among the songtitles set to appear on "Warkult" are the following:
01. Murder Reigns
02. Dead March
03. Supremacy Through Annihilation
04. Merciless
05. On Grounds Of Battle
At least 10 songs will be recorded for "Warkult" plus a few covers from some obscure thrash metal bands, according to the press release. "First up is a cover from Australian cult band HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH's song 'Crucifixion' from their debut album in 1988," Phil said. "Second up is a cover of at least one song from the 1986 four-song demo from Buffalo, NY thrash outfit LEVIATHAN. LEVIATHAN was fronted by vocalist Chris Barnes (SIX FEET UNDER, ex-CANNIBAL CORPSE) along with guitarist Jeff Juszkiewicz (ex-MALEVOLENT CREATION). MALEVOLENT CREATION and LEVIATHAN were the only thrash/death metal bands in Buffalo in '86/'87 and we were totally blown away when we heard their demo. They totally influenced us to being a better band and record our first demo in early '87. The band was amazing and all four songs kill on that demo, but we will at least record one song from that classic demo tape."
In other news, the band's upcoming hometown show at the Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale on Dec. 14 will be filmed for a future DVD release.
Regarding the band's inability to land a proper U.S. tour, Fasciana said, "[the] truth is we have not been offered any good tours in the U.S. and we do not have a booking agent here. We did about 35 shows earlier this year in the States but missed out on the West Coast and other cool cities to invade. Hopefully this will change with the release of the new album 'Warkult' this summer through Nuclear Blast Records in the U.S. and everywhere else. We promise to do what we can to make a proper U.S. tour happen in 2004!!!"
Upcoming MALEVOLENT CREATION tour dates:
Dec. 13 - St. Petersburg, FL - Venom Nightclub
Dec. 14 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL - Culture Room

OZZY Update: Intensive Care Treatment Expected To Last 'Several Days'
Ozzy Osbourne could be kept in intensive care for "several days" following his quad bike accident, his doctor said, according to icBirmigham.
Circulation in his left arm has now been restored after damage to a blood vessel caused by pressure from his broken collar bone, but he is unable to speak because he has a tube in his mouth.
Osbourne is continuing to receive treatment at the NHS Wrexham Park Hospital in Slough and has received visits from his daughter Kelly and wife Sharon, who flew into Heathrow from Los Angeles this afternoon.
The singer has been on a ventilator since the crash at his Buckinghamshire estate last night, but his condition was described as "stable" and "comfortable".
Osbourne, 55, had emergency surgery after suffering a cracked vertebra in his neck, eight broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a damaged blood vessel.
The singer has also received several bunches of flowers from well-wishers, while security staff remain in place at the hospital's entrances to keep away over-enthusiastic fans.
Wrexham Park Hospital medical director, Dr. Dick Jack, said doctors treating the former BLACK SABBATH frontman were "very satisfied" with his progress.
"We have begun, slowly begun, the process of getting him off the ventilator.
"Now this can take several days so there won't be any major changes in his condition for the next 24 hours.
"The fractured vertebra in his neck, we are quite convinced that this is not going to be the source of any danger but before we can take off the hard collar that he is wearing we are waiting for confirmation from Oxford," he said.

Report: GREAT WHITE Tour Manager, Club Owners Indicted In Rhode Island Fire
The owners of the nightclub where 100 people were killed in a fire last February were indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges Tuesday (Dec. 9) along with the tour manager for the hard rock band GREAT WHITE whose pyrotechnics ignited the blaze, according to the Associated Press.
Club owners Jeffrey and Michael Derderian and GREAT WHITE tour manager Dan Biechele were each charged with 200 counts of involuntary manslaughter — two for each death.
All three men pleaded innocent during an arraignment in which bail was also set.
Members of GREAT WHITE, who have been named in several civil suits, were not charged by the grand jury.
The band's guitarist, Ty Longley, was among those killed the fire.
GREAT WHITE recently wrapped up a five-month tour to raise money for fire victims. The band raised just under $64,000, but their tour was criticized by family members of victims who blamed the band for the fire and said the tour was self-serving.

This has been a great year for The Agony Scene and we appreciate everyone’s interest and support. We respect Chris' decision to move on and wish him the best.

Until then, here's the latest update!

This ends quickly so don’t wait. There’s even free shipping!
ZAO “LEGENDARY”
With as many full length records as ZAO has, picking the band’s greatest tracks for one record is next to impossible. However, the upcoming ZAO best-of record, “Legendary”, is a collection of 17 songs from the
band’s rich history. Three of the songs, featuring former vocalist Cory Darst, are brand new and were recorded while the band was on tour. The track listing is:
1. Skin Like Winter (from Liberate Te Ex Inferis)
2. 5 Year Winter (from Self-Titled)
3. A Fall Farewell (from Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest)
4. Suspend Suspension (from Parade of Chaos)
5. Walk On By, Walk On Me (Pianist Prophecy) (from split EP with
Training For Utopia)
6. Ravage Ritual (from Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest)
7. Times of Separation (from The Splinter Shards the Birth of Separation)
8. Savannah (from Liberate Te Ex Inferis)
9. The Race of Standing Still (from Self-Titled)
10. Free The Three (from Parade of Chaos)
11. Angel Without Wings (from Parade of Chaos)
12. Ember (from Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest)
13. The Ghost Psalm (from Liberate Te Ex Inferis)
14. Trash Can Hands (from Self-Titled)
15. The Icarus Complex (NEW!)
16. One Last Time (NEW!)
17. All Dressed Up (With No Place To Go) (NEW!)
The record will also come with a lengthy bio piece written by Ryan Clark (Demon Hunter / Training for Utopia / Focal Point) Look for a release date of Dec 26 in CBA stores and January 13 in General Market stores!
RUMORS REGARDING THE AGONY SCENE BREAKING UP, TOURING ETC The rumor mill has been churning but here’s an update from Michael Williams, vocalist of The Agony Scene:
“The Agony Scene will be taking a break for the rest of 2003 and regrets that they will not be able to participate in the Mushroomhead and Integrity tours. With the announcement of guitarist Chris Emmons leaving
the group, the band will be announcing a new replacement in the near future and will be on the road in early 2004. This has been a great year for The Agony Scene and we appreciate everyone’s interest and support. We respect Chris' decision to move on and wish him the best. The Agony Scene will be back - we're writing some great new material and look forward to hitting the road again soon.”
Members departing bands are never easy to get through but Solid State appreciates all the fan’s support as the band regroups and comes out stronger than ever!
STRETCH ARM STRONG ON TOUR!
As most of you know, SAS is out with The Bled, The Kinison and The AKA’s as we speak. Two days ago the band was offering the January and February run with Pennywise! SAS will be wrapping 2003 up with a short run on the east coast on the Stillborn Fest tour featuring Hatebreed and many more. Don’t miss the band on tour and don’t forget their latest record “Engage”, in stores now!
SOLID STATE WELCOMES: HASTE THE DAY!
It’s been under wraps for a while but it’s official and we welcome Indianapolis’ best kept secret, Haste the Day, to the Solid State family! The band’s debut record was recently recorded with Barry Poynter and will be released in March 2004! Check out the band’s web site at

OBEY THE FLAME NEWS LETTER
OBEY THE FLAME NEWS LETTER
Greetings everybody,
It has been a while since I sent out one of these. Hope everybody is well and safe.
Just a quick update on what is happening with Obey The Flame.
I have decided for quite some time now to put Obey The Flame on hiatus. This discision was reached by taking many factors into consideration. Some of which are: to focus on my schooling and lack of funds on my part to continue at this time.
Now this being said...Obey The Flame is not throwing in the towel. Although on hiatus I will still be dealing with a few bands on the roster such as Vesperian Sorrow. (Trying desperatly to get them onto a tour) as well as a few others.
Also, due to my current status there will unfortunatly be no Festival this year. This is an incredibly hard decision to make seeing as last year was such a good kick start to great annual event. But reality has to play a part of things when looking at the big picture. There was no interest with sponsors and I alone could not afford the festival this year. I refuse to put on a mediocre event.
I am not saying there won't be another festival but it won't be this year for sure. I will see how everything falls into place for the following year and hopefully I can get the show up and running again.
Anyways..if anybody has any questions about what is happening feel free to E-mail me.
Thanks to everybody who helped OTF get to the level it was and keep an eye out for OTF to make a return probably in the fall of 2004.
Cheers Everybody.
Adam Reider
OTF President

NOCTURNE update: December 7, 2003
Hey guys,
I hope you are all doing well. :-)
**NOCTURNE NOMINATED FOR FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR**
I just wanted you all to know that today is the last day to vote! Please vote, and download our song "Whore", if you haven't done so already. If you have already voted, then I would like to say thank you!!! Check the kegl.com web site on Dec. 14th to see the results. Please click here and vote if you haven't done so already. Thanks in advance. :-)
http://www.kegl.com/award6.html
**ATTENTION THOSE LIVING IN DALLAS**
Nocturne will perform one final show before taking a long break. We are taking a long break from playing live so that we can finish our new CD. If you want to see us once more before the break, then come out to
the Galaxy Club (on Main Street in Deep Ellum) THIS coming Thursday, December 11th. Nocturne will go on shortly after 11:00 p.m. We'll be co-headlining with the band LOWGEAR, who will go on shortly after midnight. We'll be selling our apparently controversial "Axis Of Evil"
t-shirts at the show, so come out and pick one up.
**TWO NEW TOPICS ARE UP ON THE NOCTURNE MESSAGE BOARD**
As many of you have already seen, we have just added two new topics to the board: "Politics", where you can voice your support or opposition to our current president, or voice whatever else is on your mind regarding politics. The other new topic is "animal rights & welfare" where
you can share your experiences, thoughts, or learn something new that you may not have known before. Here's the link:

**REVIEW A NOCTURNE CD**
One thing that was interesting about touring with King Diamond was their crowd! They either loved us or hated us! Which was strange for us, because the tours we've done in the past were with bands that we matched really well with, so we never had problems with overly
critical-audience members before. But I tell you, those King Diamond fans who didn't like us, sure liked to be loud and clear about it! Lol! Fortunately, there were enough of you who DID like us to make up for those who
didn't - it's just that that type of mixed audience reaction was something we weren't use to at all. (Which is kind of what we expected, going on a tour like this, where we stuck out JUST a little bit compared to the other bands on the bill!) But NOW - there are a handful of those who
didn't like us who REALLY wanted to make their point - by going onto the AMAZON.com site and giving our albums bad reviews. That's fine, because they have a right to do that. But I would like to get enough positive reviews on there to make it balanced. The reason I care is
because this is the main place where I send people who are interested in buying our music. So if you own one of our CDs, then please go to the site and post your review. Don't even worry about commenting on what
others before you may have said - just share your own opinion of the CD.

JASON NEWSTED Leaves OZZY OSBOURNE, Is Replaced By ROB ZOMBIE Bassist
Former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted has officially left OZZY OSBOURNE and has been replaced by ex-ROB ZOMBIE bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson. Newsted, who was with the band for less than a year, left due to undisclosed reasons.
"It's still settling in," Nicholson told MTV.com about his new gig. "It's something I never would have imagined. After playing with Rob Zombie, I was ready to go, 'OK, this is as far as I'm taking this bass-playing thing. This is the end of the road.' I was ready to kind of hang it up.
"But when this came around, it was very odd," he added. "I was almost like, 'There is no possible way that this could happen.' "
At least one other bassist — FEAR FACTORY's Christian Olde Wolbers — jammed with Ozzy, guitarist Zakk Wylde and drummer Mike Bordin in recent weeks, but Nicholson was hired after successfully completing two auditions.
"The first audition was a little intimidating, to say the least," Nicholson said. "Granted, I know Zakk and I've been on Ozzfest before. The situation wasn't uncomfortable, it was just intimidating, playing these songs that I had never played. But the second audition, I was a lot more prepared.
" 'Into the Void' is my favorite BLACK SABBATH song and Ozzy called it out," he continued. "At that moment, I realized, even if I don't get the gig, the fact that I got to play 'Into the Void' with Ozzy was the coolest moment of my life!"

SHARON OSBOURNE: 'I Had A Great Friendship With RANDY RHOADS'
Sharon Osbourne has spoken to TV's "Extra" about the reports that she cheated on her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, with his guitarist during the early '80s, Randy Rhoads.
On her show talk show, Osbourne said, "So it comes out now, and it is all twisted and people are saying I cheated on my husband."
"Extra" went straight to Osbourne to let her set the record straight. She says, "Yes, I do want to set it straight. Before my husband and I actually were engaged, before we were married, I had a great friendship, as did my husband, with Randy." However, she says, "I definitely wasn't married to my husband at the time. Randy died before my husband and I were married."
Osbourne addresses the rumors and shares the whole story on "The Sharon Osbourne Show" Friday (Dec. 5), where she's joined by guests Jessica Alba, Billy Bob Thornton, Jami Gertz, and Donna Summer.

TONY IOMMI Addresses The Future Of BLACK SABBATH
The Tony Iommi Message Board has been fielding questions for Tony to answer over the past few weeks. Well, today (Dec. 4) was the day that he finally appeared to answer many of the fans' questions! His opening post summed up his state of mind at the moment quite succinctly:
"Hey there,
"Well, I've been looking through your questions — there certainly are a lot of them and I'm not sure that I can answer them all. A lot of you are keen to hear future plans for myself and for SABBATH. I'd love to tell you exactly what's going on in the next few months. But in truth it's a really 'up in the air' sort of time. We've been looking into countless ideas, from new albums to DVDs, and thinking of re-releasing and remastering all sorts of pre-existing material. After 35 years we've certainly amassed enough material, from live recordings to rehearsals and outtakes, to release a new album every week! But nothing has officially been decided, so at the moment there really is nothing concrete that I can tell you about future solo or SABBATH albums. All I can do is assure you that YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO KNOW when we have definite plans for the future. And I thank every one of you for your constant support and praise — it certainly makes me feel even more proud of the music that I've been involved with playing and creating over the years.”
"On to the questions... I'll answer as many as I can, and dig around in the ol' memory and see what I can find!
"Best wishes to you all

OZZY OSBOURNE To Duet With JESSICA SIMPSON On Christmas TV Special
MTV announced yesterday (Dec. 4) that "The Osbourne Family Christmas Special" will air on Thursday, December 11 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. The 60-minute special, hosted by the Osbournes from their home in Beverly Hills, will take holiday specials to a bizarre level, with a wide range of celebrity guests joining in on the festivities, including Jessica Simpson, who duets with Ozzy on "Winter Wonderland", and newlyweds Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra, who are shown baking holiday cookies. Former "The Man Show" host Adam Corolla teams with Jack Osbourne to whip up cranberry sauce, while Kelly Osbourne serenades the guests with "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".
"The Osbournes are surprisingly traditionalist when it comes to the holidays-they love all the old holiday TV showcases and wanted to create a new television tradition with their special," said Lois Curren, Executive Vice President, Series and Movie Development, MTV. "Where else are you going to find 20 tons of fake snow, ice skating elves, reindeer, carolers, Tracy Morgan dressed as Santa, and Britney Spears all in one holiday extravaganza — only at the Osbournes."

GRAVE DIGGER To Play First-Ever U.S. Gig In June
German power metallers GRAVE DIGGER have posted the following message on their official web site:
"Dear Friends, Fans and MetalHeadZ,
"It's Christmas time and new year is coming soon. That means also that The Rheingold Tour hits the road in a couple of weeks.
"We are working hard at the production and we'll show you some very special 'true metal' effects. We also worked out an special setlist with all time classics and some songs we didn't play a long time ago. The show will take you for 105 minutes to Metal Heaven.
"Manni has a new guitar, built by Rob Koufmann in the US and we bought also new (old) amplifiers and cabinets. This stuff is from the 70ties from a band called BULLET. This sound kicks really ass and fits perfectly to Manni's play. We also use pyro effects again (only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland). We'll take a lot of lightning effects too with us (all countries).
"Please notice that the show in Bochum at the 11th of January is moved from the Matrix to our favorite club Bochum Zeche.
"The show on the 19th in Slovenia/Lubiljana is moved to a bigger place call SC Triglav. The presales are so good that the first venue was sold out very fast. Greece will be happen at the end of April. We are waiting for the confirmation of Athens and Thessaloniki.
"Beginning of June we'll fly to the States to play our first American gig ever.
"During the tour we'll start to write the new stuff for the next record which will see the light of day in January 2005.
"We'll create very special merchandise for the tour which you can't buy only at the shows or on our new 'Graveyard Merchandise Store', which will be ready before Christmas."

NASTY SAVAGE: Reunion Album To Be Released In March
Reunited NASTY SAVAGE will release their upcoming album, "Psycho Psycho", through Metal Blade Records in Europe via a licensing deal with Crook'd Records. Crook'd Records will be issuing the CD in the States.
"NASTY SAVAGE is one the most favorite bands of all members of the Metal Blade staff in Europe," commented a spokesperson for Metal Blade Europe. "But apart from that, we wouldn't have licensed the album if it would suck like so many other reunions did over the years. 'Psycho Psycho' smokes and is totally in the tradition of their classic albums 'Nasty Savage' and 'Indulgence'. We are really psyched to work on such a great album!"
Florida's NASTY SAVAGE (recent band photo) have seen the wars through their 20 years of classic metal mayhem. Selling an estimated 100,000 records with their first three releases alone, this was a band on the rise, well regarded, with fans all over the world, in possession of an oddly doomy, somewhat thrashy, highly musical sound all their own. Now the band is back after a 14 year absence with a bruising, lusty, faithfully grinding record called "Psycho Psycho", miraculously with 100% of the line-up that made the daunting "Penetration Point" album, in place and ready to smash it up.
The new album contains everything that furiously fed the NASTY SAVAGE mystique through 20 remarkable years. Ronnie's vocals are deceptively chaotic and squarely dramatic, his words of societal examination almost viciously enunciated, his voice still strong, his clarion scream still soaring. The guitar team of Ben Meyer and David Austin still weave intricate, scale-ridden riffs of a timeless gothic nature. Picture prime SLAYER crossed with FATES WARNING, and you sort of get the drift of the grim, smothering heavy metal vibe the six-stringers of the band evokes. Add to that the grinding grooves of drummer Curtis Beeson and bassist Richard Bateman, and you have a record of almost ecstatic old school headbanging ability. It is a sound borne of the Florida underground, crossed with old school thrash, spiced with the progressive flair of seasoned players who have absorbed the classics!
"Psycho Psycho" features 12 songs in total, including a new version of the demo classic "Savage Desire". And there's a little nod to Nasty Ronnie's wrestling connection as well. "We got Chris Jericho to sing on three of the songs on the new album," reveals Ben. "On 'Savage Desire' you'll notice there's a different voice there — that's the song he sung the most on. It's funny hearing Chris Jericho saying 'Don't worry mommy, I'll be safe and sound.' How the hell can you get the most bad-ass wrestler saying, 'Don't worry mommy'?! (laughs)."
Line-Up:
Nasty Ronnie – vocals
Ben Meyer – guitars

ALICE COOPER Signs Deal To Host Radio Show
United Stations Radio Networks, Inc., (USRN) an independent leader in original network radio programming, has announced it has signed a deal with legendary rocker ALICE COOPER whereby the performer will host a weeknight shift targeted to classic rock stations. United Stations will work closely with Cooper to develop the creative content of the program. The announcement came from United Stations EVP/Programming Andy Denemark from the network's New York City headquarters.
"Nights with Alice Cooper" is the latest addition to a rapidly growing field of evening daypart programming and it is the first such entry into the evening daypart arena for the network. Beginning on Monday, January 26, 2004, the show will be delivered to affiliates via satellite for five hours per night and is intended to provide programming for the 7pm to Midnight time period, Monday through Friday. The music playlist for the show will be comprised of upbeat classic rock and the broadcasts will be populated by Alice Cooper and a cast of characters who will be introduced to the program and evolve over time. Cooper, who resides in Arizona, will have the show emanate from a mysterious location in the Arizona desert.
In making the announcement, USRN's Denemark pointed out that the introduction of this series is in response to current trends in radio. "We've been monitoring the success of various evening programs in other formats and felt that rock radio is one format where nights really have potential. When Alice Cooper approached us with a desire to do radio, the fit was just a natural." Denemark added that, "A lot of us remember when nights at rock radio were really fun and interesting — it's our intention to do that again."
"I'm really intrigued by the notion of radio," said Alice about his new nighttime gig. "It's a medium that lends itself to great theater right alongside the music, and I'm really looking forward to shaping something new and working side by side with a lot of my old friends on the station side."

RAVAGER Split

BLAZE To Begin Recording Third Album
BLAZE, the British band led by former IRON MAIDEN/WOLFSBANE singer Blaze Bayley, will enter Backstage Studios in Ripley, England on Monday (Dec. 8) to begin recording their third album, tentatively due in early 2004 through SPV Records.
According to producer Andy Sneap, who worked with the band on their previous two offerings, the tracking for the as-yet-untitled effort will be completed on December 20, with the mixing process set to commence in early January. "It's more of a live approach because of time and because they really liked the way the live album ['As Live As It Gets'] came out," Sneap told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. "It's a very tight schedule/budget on this one."
As previously reported, BLAZE will return to JB's Dudley for the third annual BLAZE Big Bash on December 27. This year, the band have promised a signing session, competitions, raffle and the first-ever live performance of tracks from their as-yet-untitled third studio release. Tickets cost £10.00 and are available from www.wayahead.com and the Way Ahead 24-hour credit card hotline on +44 (0) 115 9120000, JB's ticket office on +44 (0) 1384 253597 or on the door at JB's, 15 Castlehill, Dudley, West Midlands, DY1 4QF.

STRATOVARIUS: JENS In, KOTIPELTO Out?
STRATOVARIUS guitarist Timo Tolkki has reportedly told the Finnish daily newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that keyboardist Jens Johansson will definitely continue to be a member of the band once the group have sorted through their current personnel "crisis". The situation with the band's drummer, Jörg Michael, however, is still up in the air. According to Tolkki, Michael's wife is due to give birth to twins in January and it is not presently clear if the drummer has enough interest and motivation to continue playing with the group.
While he has yet to publicly reveal the cause of their disagreement (due to "legal reasons"), Tolkki has indicated that the biggest problem in the band exists with vocalist Timo Kotipelto, with whom the guitarist is said to have a "very strained" relationship.
When asked by a fan on his guestbook if there are any plans for STRATOVARIUS to play shows in America, Kotipelto responded, "Good question. I don't even know if I am in the band anymore."
Tolkki, who was recently "forced" to hire two bodyguards after receiving e-mail and phone threats from unknown individuals, flew to Berlin late last week to hold discussions with the band's record company, Sanctuary Records, about STRATOVARIUS' future.
In late October, STRATOVARIUS signed a three-album contract with Sanctuary Records in what was said to be the biggest-ever deal completed for a Finnish rock band (reportedly worth over $3.5 million dollars).

BEYOND THE EMBRACE Name New Album
New Bedford, Massachusetts-based sextet BEYOND THE EMBRACE have set "Insect Song" as the title for their sophomore album, tentatively due in the spring through Metal Blade Records.
The follow-up to 2002's "Against The Elements" will be recorded during late December/early January with producer/UNEARTH guitarist Ken Susi. "Being a guitar player himself, we feel that if any producer could get us the right guitar tones in the studio for this next record it would be [Ken]," said BEYOND THE EMBRACE guitarist Oscar Gouveia.
"BEYOND THE EMBRACE are from Massachusetts so it's a real honor not only to be recording a fellow Metal Blade artist, but also a band that's from my area," Susi commened in a statement. "I am hoping to get some great tones out of the guys and looking to pave the way for their first real release. I really want to set precedence not only for BEYOND THE EMBRACE and this album, but also to establish myself as a producer. I want to make sure that everything for this album is perfect. This is a great opportunity for me. I am looking forward to working with them."
With regards to the upcoming CD, BEYOND THE EMBRACE singer/keyboardist Shawn Gallagher said, "I'm really looking forward to hearing what our next CD is going to sound like. Our new songs are much more involved musically than most of our songs in the past. I believe we've evolved musically, some of our new songs are heavier than usual and some are more rockin' than usual. It's definitely going to be a very diverse album for us, and for Ken Susi as a producer. I feel that our three guitarists (Oscar, Jeff, & Alex) need to be heard individually among a tight mix and I'm confident that Ken will get the best mix and the best takes out of them as well as out of myself during the vocal tracking. I'm confident that the next BEYOND THE EMBRACE CD will sound huge and hit a lot of people harder than our debut CD 'Against the Elements'."

KERI KELLI Cites 'Scheduling Conflicts' As Reason For L.A. GUNS Departure
Ex-SLASH'S SNAKEPIT guitarist Keri Kelli has dismissed as "false" the rumors that he was fired by L.A. GUNS as the group's touring guitarist after he engaged in "several drunken outbursts on the L.A. GUNS/BLACK N' BLUE tour."
In a press release announcing his departure from L.A. GUNS, Kelli attributed the split to scheduling conflicts with ADLER'S APPETITE, the new band formed by ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steve Adler.

"This includes a forthcoming tour of Europe (Italy, Spain, Holland as well as the U.K.) and the upcoming recording of an album. Ex-GN'R [guitarist] Izzy Stradlin looks set to also take part in the recording.
"The split from L.A. GUNS means Keri will not be playing the forthcoming Mexican and European shows. However, he did stress that if he ever had a free schedule he would be there to fill in and help out."

EYEBALL RECORDS GIVING AWAY A FREE, DIGITAL EP AS A HOLIDAY GIFT
Fans and supporters of Eyeball Records will be peaking into their virtual stockings and squealing with delight this December. The label has announced that instead of issuing the usual holiday greeting cards this year, they'll be giving away a free EP from Eyeball recording artist Sleep Station.
Label owner Alex Saavedra, wanted to make sure and reward the well behaved supporters of the label handsomely this year. "You'll be getting everything on your list this year" stated Saavedra, "Especially if the only thing on your list is a Sleep Station EP". In winter of 2002, Eyeball commissioned Sleep Station front man David Debiak to record what is now known as the "Von Cosel EP". The EP would be based on the very strange but true case of Dr. Carl Von Cosel as seen on the HBO "Autopsy" series.
From HBO.com:
The Strange Obsession of Dr. Carl Von Cosel
In 1934, Dr. Carl Von Cosel worked at a Key West hospital, treating patients suffering from then-incurable tuberculosis. He fell in love with a 22-year-old patient named Elena Hoyos. When she died, Von Cosel got permission from her family to build her a mausoleum. There, Von Cosel used formaldehyde to preserve the body, visiting it nightly.
Later, Von Cosel secretly moved Elena's body to his home, living with it for seven years, until his deception was uncovered by Elena's sister. Horrified at the discovery, Elena's sister took what appeared be a wax dummy to the local morgue to be autopsied. The "dummy" was actually the decayed corpse of Elena Hoyos; her bones held together with piano wire, her skin had been treated with wax, her eye sockets filled with glass replacements, and she'd been perfumed to mask the odor of decomposition.
Declared sane, Von Cosel was not charged with a crime because the statute of limitations on grave robbing had expired. Elena Hoyos was eventually buried at a secret location. Von Cosel, separated from his love, used a death mask to create a life-sized dummy of her, and lived with it until his death in 1952.
"We told David to watch the show and see if he could write a record about it" says Saavedra, "We suggested it as a dark, twisted tale about a man sleeping with a corpse". However, upon seeing the documentary and researching the story heavily, Debiak was left with a deep sense of empathy for the Doctor and saw the story as a classic romantic tale of unrequited love. The resulting five song Von Cosel EP is some of his most haunting and heartfelt work to date. Its bone chilling creepiness and depressing story makes it the perfect holiday soundtrack.
The original release of this EP was marred when another artist released an EP with a similar concept about two months before Von Cosel was scheduled to come out. It's available at www.voncosel.com for the first time.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Fans and supporters of Eyeball Records will be peaking into their virtual stockings and squealing with delight this December. The label has announced that instead of issuing the usual holiday greeting cards this year, they'll be giving away a free EP from Eyeball recording artist Sleep Station.
Label owner Alex Saavedra, wanted to make sure and reward the well behaved supporters of the label handsomely this year. "You'll be getting everything on your list this year" stated Saavedra, "Especially if the only thing on your list is a Sleep Station EP". In winter of 2002, Eyeball commissioned Sleep Station front man David Debiak to record what is now known as the "Von Cosel EP". The EP would be based on the very strange but true case of Dr. Carl Von Cosel as seen on the HBO "Autopsy" series.
From HBO.com:
The Strange Obsession of Dr. Carl Von Cosel
In 1934, Dr. Carl Von Cosel worked at a Key West hospital, treating patients suffering from then-incurable tuberculosis. He fell in love with a 22-year-old patient named Elena Hoyos. When she died, Von Cosel got permission from her family to build her a mausoleum. There, Von Cosel used formaldehyde to preserve the body, visiting it nightly.
Later, Von Cosel secretly moved Elena's body to his home, living with it for seven years, until his deception was uncovered by Elena's sister. Horrified at the discovery, Elena's sister took what appeared be a wax dummy to the local morgue to be autopsied. The "dummy" was actually the decayed corpse of Elena Hoyos; her bones held together with piano wire, her skin had been treated with wax, her eye sockets filled with glass replacements, and she'd been perfumed to mask the odor of decomposition.
Declared sane, Von Cosel was not charged with a crime because the statute of limitations on grave robbing had expired. Elena Hoyos was eventually buried at a secret location. Von Cosel, separated from his love, used a death mask to create a life-sized dummy of her, and lived with it until his death in 1952.
"We told David to watch the show and see if he could write a record about it" says Saavedra, "We suggested it as a dark, twisted tale about a man sleeping with a corpse". However, upon seeing the documentary and researching the story heavily, Debiak was left with a deep sense of empathy for the Doctor and saw the story as a classic romantic tale of unrequited love. The resulting five song Von Cosel EP is some of his most haunting and heartfelt work to date. Its bone chilling creepiness and depressing story makes it the perfect holiday soundtrack.
The original release of this EP was marred when another artist released an EP with a similar concept about two months before Von Cosel was scheduled to come out. It's available at www.voncosel.com for the first time.

Place of Skulls update!!!
Well brothers and sisters, time for another look into our world of rock 'n' roll...the way we see it.
A year and a half ago, armed with an idea to bring together our styles and imagery to a single musical force, we laid down the groundwork for what we envisioned to be (and dubbed by the press) a super-group of doom metal. Together, we've stuck it out despite the pressure and stress of being in a band with members living in different states... not really the small feat it appears on the surface.
We've now come to an amicable and agreed decision that to continue this arrangement is no longer feasible. The travel to and fro has become more of a burden than we probably admitted to ourselves in the beginning…and scheduling our personal responsibilities and commitments to an ever-changing calendar is just no longer worth it. So as of now, Victor, Tim, & Dennis will continue onward with Place of Skulls, and Wino with The Hidden Hand.
We especially regret the disappointment that some of you may feel about this decision. We know from your feedback that a lot of anticipation was building for a tour of live performances. Again, we truly regret that this can't happen. Never the less, we're very thankful to have "With Vision" as a result of this relatively short working relationship. We feel confident and appreciative that we succeeded in bringing you a classic album that will leave it's mark.
The shows that are already confirmed for PoS, as well as international tour plans, will go ahead as scheduled but without Wino.
From hearsay and offhand remarks, we know there's a number of you who've "straddled the fence" from the beginning where Place of Skulls is concerned. Sometimes we may come from a place or point of view that clashes with many of your own philosophies. That same backlash has been felt by The Hidden Hand. None of us are trying to push agenda's here…politics and religions are the never-ending arguments that will never be 100% solved in this life. We propose an agreement to disagree where it may apply, and lets get on together with the enjoyment of some heavy ass music.
We've gained many new fans since the release of "With Vision", and we (Place of Skulls & The Hidden Hand) hope you'll all stick around for the next chapter.
We speak with reciprocating respect and admiration for one another, and our respective bands, in saying our friendships remain strong and intact. Our only regret is that we won't be able to fulfill the expectations of what could have been.
Sincerely,
Victor, Wino, Tim, & Dennis

Baltimore’s GORMAN PROPHECY Signs to Screaming Ferret Wreckords
Baltimore’s GORMAN PROPHECY Signs to Screaming Ferret Wreckords
Winter Performance Confirmed
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2003 has been a very productive year for the Baltimore-based, alternative metal band Gorman Prophecy. The band recently signed with Screaming Ferret Wreckords and had a successful summer of touring. After being courted by several labels, the band made the decision to make Screaming Ferret Wreckords their home. Drummer, George Betz, commended the decision, "I think signing with Screaming Ferret Wreckords will be a good thing for both the band and the label due to the impact this band has made in the last year and a half it’s been together. I liked the friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere and that they were upfront and honest with us."
Gorman Prophecy’s management team, CMT Productions, has also been pleased with the signing, saying, "Working with Screaming Ferret Wreckords is a pleasure. We find them to be extremely band-friendly in their negotiations and efforts."
Throughout this year, Gorman Prophecy was able to spread their name touring around the United States, hitting larger shows such as Milwaukee Metal Fest XVII, New Jersey Metal Meltdown, Metal Mindrage II, Metal Nation, as well as an appearance for the troops in Atlanta, Georgia, sponsored by the USO. The band has also secured an endorsement by Dirtbag Clothing in San Francisco, CA.
Gorman Prophecy is already receiving a warm reception, having rocked the fans and the bands they played alongside over the summer.
Dry Kill Logic vocalist Cliff Rigano hinted at the band’s potential, "Gorman Prophecy is like an iceberg waiting for the Titanic. They will sink your ass!"
Thundercore guitarist, Rob Mason, concurred, "Gorman Prophecy is one of the hardest hitting metal bands we’ve ever jammed with. They put on a hell of a show!"
The band is now in the studio working on their debut album and preparing themselves for their ascension to the ranks of the metal elite. Comprised of Matt Myers (vocals), Allan Young (guitars), Charles Gorman (bass) and George Betz (drums), Gorman Prophecy was fully assembled in 2002. They quickly made a name for themselves in the alternative metal scene by weaving together their various musical influences. Their fan-friendly off-stage manner and psycho, high-energy onstage performance is a rare blend in the metal scene today.
The band Nothingface may have summed up Gorman Prophecy best, "Great band! Great music! Great metal!"
Next on tap for the band is a performance at the "Merry Metal Christmas" party at the ThunderDome on December 20, 2003.
Screaming Ferret Records, an upstart organization based in New Hampshire, is the home of such diverse acts as the reunited Nuclear Assault, Meliah Rage, Comadose, Tearabyte, CSDO, etc. For info on the label and the band, please visit their websites.

The following is Samoth's official statement on the matter:
"We were supposed to leave for Mexico today for a 3-show headline tour. The UK agent who dealt with this particular tour called us up at rehearsal on Monday saying it's not gonna happen, because the Mexican promoter Carlo Hernandez have failed to buy the plane tickets in time, and now refuses to buy any because they apparently are too expensive all of a sudden. I must say we are very disappointed and surprised in the lack of professionalism. It's not only unfortunate for us as we have turned down other interesting offers to do this tour, but most of all for all the die-hard Mexican fans who wanted to see us. All we can say is that this situation is totally beyond our control. We don't really wanna put any blame on anybody, but it just sucks that we have to deal with such incompetence. We hope we get another opportunity to come back to Mexico. A mighty hail to all the Mexican Metal brothers for supporting us!"
Norway's ZYKLON, the band featuring Zamoth (a.k.a. Samoth) and Trym of EMPEROR, have cancelled their previously announced Mexican tour.

INCANTATION Cancel Chilean Tour Dates, Slam Session Guitarist
INCANTATION have been forced to cancel their previously announced Chilean tour dates due to the alleged incompetence of their Chilean tour promoter.
The following is the band's official statement on the matter:
"INCANTATION and Tumba Records would like to apologize to the Chilean metal fans because INCANTATION are unable to play on their 'Rotting With Your Christ' South American tour due to the Chilean promoter (Art Productions) has been missing for some time now and has not been in touch with the band or Tumba Records (INCANTATION's South American booking agent). INCANTATION and Tumba Records gave Art Production every chance possible to make the shows happen all the way up to the day before the shows. All INCANTATION and Tumba Records got were false promises. It is unfortunate for INCANTATION, the fans, the Chilean bands playing the shows, and all other people involved. INCANTATION is looking forward to working with someone else in the future in Chile to spread their blasphemous death metal. INCANTATION wants to send out a death metal hail to all of our true Chilean metal brothers for their understanding in this unfortunate dilemma and for sure they will return!
"INCANTATION would like to send out a big apology to Tumba Records regarding [guitarist] Tom Pioli (for wasting their money on food, accomodations and international airfare). Also apologies to the Brazilian fans, (for having this retard loser representing INCANTATION), local promoters (for spending there money on hotels and airfare, because they didn't even want him in their town, so they paid for him to leave), captain and crew from BRA Trasportes Aereos airlines flight 9524 (for smoking on the plane and acting like he didn't know that they didn't allow smoking.) and anyone else who had the misfortune of coming in contact with the biggest loser piece of shit. INCANTATION are sorry for his disrespect, if they would have known this they would never have worked with him in the first place. Incantation have never officially bad mouthed a session/member before, but he is definitely the most inconsiderate, unappreciative, disrespectful, disgrace of human life Incantation has ever worked with. INCANTATION'a dedicated members Joey, John and Kyle are regretful for working with this miserable, every 5 minute pill popping, stupid, mental case fucking douche bag. Fuck off and die!!!
"This statement was made because Tom was giving both the band and Tumba Records ultimatums with the consequences of bad mouthing both Tumba Records and INCANTATION. Of course Tumba and INCANTATION did not cave into his ultimatums, but feel that the public need to know that Tom will be bad mouthing the tour and doing what he can to try to make himself feel better for fumbling a great opportunity for himself."

VAN HALEN: HAGAR Reunion Update
The Van Halen Mailing List (www.van-halen.org) has issued the following update regarding the recent rumors of a possible VAN HALEN reunion with former singer Sammy Hagar:
"As with all VAN HALEN rumors, this needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but the following has been confirmed by a fairly reliable source within the VAN HALEN 'inner circle'.
- The Sammy Hagar press release is true. Hagar visited with '5150' producer and FOREIGNER guitarist Mick Jones in August. Jones told Hagar that he had recently spoken with Alex Van Halen, and that Alex sent his regards. Jones gave Hagar Alex's number and encouraged him to give Alex a call. Sammy did, and the two exchanged pleasantries. In September, Sammy spent an afternoon and evening with Alex. Eddie Van Halen was contacted by the two, but was busy with his son, but promised to call Hagar soon. Hagar and Eddie have spoken on the phone regularly during the month of October.
- During this time, Alex, Eddie and Hagar discussed the status of their back catalog with Warner Brothers (which is undergoing a change in ownership). Alex apparently was very concerned that the new owners would look to 'cash in' on the VAN HALEN catalog by issuing 'Best Ofs' and sticking the songs on compilations. Hagar, having lived with Capitol Records constantly repackaging his old material, agreed. Since VAN HALEN is without any management, Hagar suggested that his manager, Irving Azoff, be allowed to handle any ideas or proposals Warner Brothers had for the back catalog. The Van Halen brothers agreed, and if Warner Brothers is going to release any VAN HALEN material, they will have to go through Azoff.
- There HAVE been discussions about reforming the VAN HAGAR lineup. These discussions mostly revolve around the desire to release 'Between The Two Of Us' which has also been called 'Between Us Two'. Originally recorded during the 'Balance' sessions, and recorded again during what would become the tracks for the 'Twister' soundtrack, the song has been described as 'Dreams' meets 'Unchained' and several feel it is the best VAN HAGAR collaboration ever.
- HOWEVER, there is a lot to still be discussed. Sammy Hagar does not want to disband his solo group, THE WABORITAS, and has made it clear that if he were to rejoin VAN HALEN, he would want to be able to continue to record and tour with them. Surprisingly, Eddie Van Halen has no problems with this, and has suggested a 'GENESIS' type of situation, where the group will do an album-tour cycle, then take an extended break to pursue other projects. Eddie does not want to get locked into a contract with a record company for anything more than a single album release, and wants to be able to work on other non-VAN HALEN projects.
- Neither Hagar nor the Van Halen brothers want to tour without new material.
- Alex Van Halen does not want to tour excessively, and does not want to tour outside North America, with the exception of 'one ofs' for major shows internationally.
- There is still bad blood between Hagar's road crew, which is primarily made up of former members of VAN HALEN's road crew that were unceremoniously dumped by VAN HALEN during the time that Ray Danniels managed the group, and the VAN HALEN brothers.
- Michael Anthony has been in contact with the Van Halen brothers, and it is understood (although it is not clear who created this 'understanding') that he will be involved in any 'VAN HALEN' projects, but will not be involved in Eddie's other plans (Eddie has taken to playing all instruments himself while working during the last three years). Alex Van Halen did not have any problems with Michael Anthony playing on Sammy Hagar's shows, but asked him not to play with David Lee Roth, as there is still ill-feelings regarding an attempt to work with Roth in 2000.
- A ridiculous number of bands and management companies, including representatives for KISS, AEROSMITH, BON JOVI and others have contacted Azoff about the possibility of creating a co-headlining stadium/arena tour. Azoff has made it clear that you cannot have a tour with a group does not exist."

ART PRODUCTION CANCELS INCANTATION CHILEAN TOUR DATES A DAY BEFORE FISRT SHOW
Incantation and Tumba Records would like to apologize to the Chilean metal fans because Incantation are unable to play on their "Rotting with your christ" South American tour due to the Chilean promoter (Art
Productions) has been missing for some time now and has not been in touch with the band or Tumba Records (Incantation’s South American booking agent). Incantation and Tumba Records gave Art Production every chance possible to make the shows happen all the way up to the day before the shows. All Incantation and Tumba Records got were false promises. TO MAKE
IT CLEAR ART PRODUCTION CANCELED THE SHOWS IN CHILE, NOT INCATATION OR TUMBA RECORDS. It is unfortunate for Incantation, the fans, the Chilean
bands playing the shows, and all other people involved. Incantation is looking forward to working with someone else in the future in Chile to spread their blasphemous death metal. Incantation wants to send out a death metal hail to all of our true Chilean metal brothers for their understanding in this unfortunate dilemma and for sure they will return!
Incantation would like to send out a big apology to Tumba Records regarding Tom Pioli, (for wasting their money on food, accomodations and international airfare). Also apologies to the Brazilian fans, (for having
this retard loser representing Incantation), local promoters(for spending there money on hotels and airfare, because they didn't even want him in their town, so they paid for him to leave), captain and crew from
BRA Trasportes Aereos airlines flight 9524 (for smoking on the plane and acting like he didn't know that they didn't allow smoking.) and anyone else who had the misfortune of coming in contact with the biggest loser
piece of shit. Incantation are sorry for his disrespect, if they would have known this they would never have worked with him in the first place. Incantation have never officially bad mouthed a session/member
before, but he is definitely the most inconsiderate, unappreciative, disrespectful, disgrace of human life Incantation has ever worked with. Incantation's dedicated members Joey, John and Kyle are regretful for
working with this miserable, every 5 minute pill popping, stupid, mental case fucking douche bag. Fuck off and die!!!
This statement was made because Tom was giving both the band and Tumba records ultimatums with the consequences of bad mouthing both Tumba Records and Incantation. Of course Tumba and Incantation did not cave into his ultimatums, but feel that the public need to know that Tom will be bad mouthing the tour and doing what he can to try to make himself feel
better for fumbling a great opportunity for himself.
Incantation would like to send a big thanks to everyone for making the “Rotting with your christ” tour a great success. Especially Edu and Andréa at Tumba records for booking this tour and treating us with the
utmost Respect and hospitality. Moria Records for there part in this endeavor. Sergio and Mutilation Records for theture metal support and for recording the Sao Paulo show for a live DVD. Trek for doing a great job
running sound and for helping with roadie duties and of course passing dubies one by one.. haha. all the local promoters and there crews in Brasília, Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, Maringá, São Luiz, Fortaleza, and
Recife for the shows and there hospitality, 624 Productions studios, and Nervo Chaos for having us doing vocals on your new recording (It will be
John’s first officially recorded performance) and of course who matters the most is all the fucken killer, bands and fans that show us support and welcoming us back. It is truly an honor to have been able to spread our blasphemy once again here in to brazil, fucken metal thanks to you all!!!!

Well, we promised that the next volume of the SATANISM TODAY: THE VIDEO VERSION DVD series would be out in January.
We lied.
It's out NOW! That's right! SATANISM TODAY: THE VIDEO VERSION (VOLUME TWO) is now available from PURGING TALON. Two episodes per disc as always, and here's what you can expect... Episode 4 consists of a
roundtable discussion between ST host, David Harris; Church of Satan High Priest, Peter H. Gilmore; and CoS member and film student, Christopher Mealie. Topic for this episode is the Coffin Joe series of films and their Satanic implications. Episode 6 features an interview
with Reverend Thomas Thorn of the Electric Hellfire Club and the Church of Satan. Thorn discusses his current project, U.nited S.atanic
A.merica, as well as other fascinating topics surrounding music, politics, and Satanism. DVD includes the usual extras.
And, as we've warned our previous and current customers of these DVDs, delivery may take anywhere from 2-6 weeks as the DVDs take a bit more time to replicate and package than anything else we produce. (Same time frame Purging Talon has always had for products in its 10 years of existence, but we thought we'd remind you here.)
Details on all of our DVD titles are at http://www.purgingtalon.com/dvd
Volumes Three through Six are in the works, and will be released throughout 2004. Volume Seven is also in the works, but we're waiting to find a proper companion episode to go with the initial episode we've chosen.
Ever Forward!

All That's Heavy Update (Probot!! Buried at Sea, Kreisor and MORE!)
Howdy!!
Here is the All That's Heavy Online Music Store
(http://www.stonerrock.com/store) stock update! The Probot 7"s are finally here!!!!! PLUS we've got 3 brand new releases, 9 new additions from At A Loss Recordings and Rubric Records AND a shitload of killer restocks. We've just got a few announcements to get things started - the
full stock update is below:
** PROBOT PRE-ORDER STATUS UPDATE: All pre-orders for the Probot 7" have been shipped and it's finally in stock at the regular price of $4.99!! These are the ultra-limited edition color vinyl version and they definitely fucking rule - big time!!! Well worth the wait.. Thick green
vinyl, embossed sleeve, Wino, Cronos and Grohl!! PROBOT IS HERE!! Once current stock runs out I don't think we'll be able to get any more of the green vinyl ones, so act fast before they're gone ** BURIED AT SEA "MIGRATION" CD IN STOCK: And it's on sale for only
$9.99!! This album will most likely be the heaviest thing released this year. Buried at Sea's doom dirge is so thick, it will leave your jaw on the floor. This album is not for the weak of heart. It is filled with pure hatred. These 3 songs move at a snail's pace and I challenge any of
you Southern Lord fanatics to tell me this ain't the heaviest shit around. This band is recommended if you like: Burning Witch, Khanate, Sunn0))), Neurosis, dot(.), Pelican, and Unearthly Trance. In other words,
the heaviest of the heavies. All songs 10 plus minutes in length unfold slowly to envelope your mind and body (hala kahiki).
** AT A LOSS AND RUBRIC NEW ADDITIONS: These aren't all new releases but they are all brand new additions to our catalog!! We're now carrying many more releases from At A Loss Recordings (16, Meatjack, Damad,
Unpersons) and Rubric Records (The Bevis Frond, Kreisor, The Heroine Sheiks). There are MP3s up for all of these new additions so check 'em out!!

Twelve Heads - yes here's yet another Hump Day Report. I trust that you've nursed your mosh pit wounds since the wicked show on Saturday night. No shows until 2004, so you'll have to get creative until then.
If you missed the Brutality Report from the weekend, you have to check it out. There's plenty of skin in this issue - so no minors please www.lowtwelve.com/2003-239.html
The artwork is coming together for the "Roasting Posers Volume I" DVD project and so is the editing. I'll be getting together with Jeff Feasley to check it all out before long so that we can see the whole thing - in it's brutal entirety. Very soon we'll be taking advance orders for any of you who want to be first on the list. Warning - they're going to go very fast.
Make sure you visit the Heavycore Records online store for any gifts you need to pick up. We've got the new Heavycore beanies . . . . they say PROUD TO BE POSER FREE across the front. Fuck yeah. Check out the store for cds, shirts, hoodies, and more www.lowtwelve.com/hcrecords.html
See you this weekend when the Brutality Report rears it's wicked head once again!

It's Official: JUDAS PRIEST To Headline SWEDEN ROCK Festival!
JUDAS PRIEST have been officially confirmed to headline next year's installment of the Sweden Rock festival, set to be held June 10-12, 2004 in Sölvesborg, Sweden. This is the first word of any live dates from the British heavy metal band since they announced their reunion with vocalist Rob Halford in July after more than 12 years apart.
The following is a list of the acts that have been confirmed to appear at Sweden Rock Festival 2004:
JUDAS PRIEST (UK)
UFO (UK)
NIGHTWISH (FIN)
APRIL WINE (CAN)
KINGDOME COME (D)
CHILDREN OF BODOM (FIN)
ENTOMBED (S)
EXODUS (US)
MAGIC SLIM & THE TEARDROPS (US)
SLADE (UK)
ABRAMIS BRAMA (S)
OPETH (S)
WASA EXPRESS (S)
BRAINSTORM (D)
CAGE (US)
PERSUADER (s)
LUMSK (N)
NARNIA (s)
HEAVENLY (F)
PARAGON (D)
MEMORY GARDEN (S)
LAKE OF TEARS (S)
PATHOS (S)
HIRAX (US)
The first few confirmations for the festival are being announced this evening (Nov. 28) at the Sweden Rock 2004 kick-off party at Draken in Stockholm. DORO is headlining the kick-off concert, with additional performances expected from TEN 67, TEN JINN and SPEARFISH. Also appearing will be the "all-star" Swedish cover band MONSTERS OF METAL, featuring vocalist Mats Levén (KRUX, AT VANCE, ex-YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), guitarist Fredrik Åkesson (TALISMAN), bassist Johan Nieman (THERION) and drummer Sami Karppinen (ex-THERION).
JUDAS PRIEST are in talks to take part in several European festivals next summer, including Holland's Waldrock and Italy's Gods of Metal, according to published reports.
The band, who will celebrate their 30th anniversary next year, are believed to be on the verge of signing a new major-label deal with Sony Music following their split with the Atlantic label last year. Their forthcoming CD will be the group's first to feature Halford since 1990's RIAA gold-certified "Painkiller".
JUDAS PRIEST's last two studio albums (neither one of which featured Halford), "Jugulator" (1997) and "Demolition" (2001), received mediocre reviews and disappointing sales — 110,000 and 50,000, respectively, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

SKINLAB: 'Expect Nothing Less Than A Sick-Ass Record'
SKINLAB frontman Steev Esquivel has posted the following message on the band's web site:
"Yo yo, what up everyone, we're back and coming to you proud and clear!! The SLAYER tour has been an experience that we'll never forget. We had such a killer time hanging with all the bands/crews and of course all our Jager peeps (freaks)!!! We got to play in front of thousands of die-hard SLAYER fans, not to mention our very own showing up early enough to catch our brief 20-minute set. To our surprise, we didn't get 'SLAYER-ed' (a term used when the crowd starts telling you to get the fuck off the stage, and starts chanting the almighty SLAYER...... SLAYER!!!!) Not even once!!! We're defiantly proud to say that, and can all agree that it was the biggest highlight of our careers!! Getting to see them ever night with the original line up was sick! They are the kings of metal STRAIGHT UP!!!! The set list was brutal, lights we're awesome, crowd was insane. The way a metal concert should be!
"As soon as we we're done it was all about grabbing a few shots of Jager/beers.... OK, lots of 'em. By the time ARCH ENEMY was on, we'd already be in the crowd chillin with all the metal heads. ARCH ENEMY kicked ass, Angela was brutal as fuck and the rest of the guys we're amazing and hell of cool. From what we we're talking maybe we'll be getting together in the future for a tour together. (if you don't have the new ARCH ENEMY.......get it!) Much respect to HATEBREED and crew, those boys know how to throw down, they're heavy as fuck, they got the crowd worked into a mass whirlwind with circle pits going 3 at a time at some points......it was sick!! We'd stand on the side stage just trippin'. It was amazing watching them every night. They have come a long way, and it showed proof that if you stick to you guns, you will prevail. All in all it was a killer ass run of dates, everyone on the tour was cool as fuck, we got to live out our childhood dreams, what else can I say..........other than that, if all goes good we'll be out for some more shows on the next JagerMusic tour!!
"Keep an eye open for 'The Nerve Damage Sessions' due early 2004. Then a full-length that should be out before then end of 2004. Expect nothing less than a sick-ass SKINLAB record. We're not going back to our roots or taking the best qualities of our last few records, we're pissed and it's gonna show through our music. We've been paying our dues for the last 10 years, watching bands/scenes come and go. Fuck the drama — we're moving forward and gonna write a brutal yet dynamic album that we'll be able to look back at in another 10 years and be proud of. . It's obvious that what we do isn't any sort of 'one-hit wonder' or a 'flash in the pan', we haven't peaked yet and we're still hungry. Time to put on some shit kickers!! right on, metal freaks. Thanks for the support."

MANOWAR Director Comments On The Making Of 'Hell On Earth III'
Video director Neil Johnson, who was responsible for putting together MANOWAR's upcoming "Hell On Earth III" DVD, recently gave his personal report about this massive package which is due to be released on December 8.
"It continues from where 'Hell On Earth Part Two' left off," he said. "Disc One covers the 1998-1999 summer festivals and the Monsters Of The Millennium Tour.
"This DVD is packed full of incredible moments. One of my personal favorites is the first live performance of Nessun Dorma at the Gods Of Metal Festival in Milan, Italy. If you look closely, you can see tears streaming from the audience's eyes. Such is the power of MANOWAR onstage — simply awe-inspiring.
"Disc Two contains the entire performance of the Ringfest in Cologne, Germany. It was one of those nights where magic was created. The entire concert was recorded in true 5.1 surround sound. I was stunned when I heard the test discs in the authoring suite. I could hear the sounds of the audience all around me. It is as if, I was standing in the audience. Never before have I heard the sound of a live concert mixed like this. Plus the entire concert was re-cut from scratch and digitally color graded.
"In addition, every music video ever made by MANOWAR appears on this disc. As a tribute to the fans, there are two versions of 'Gloves Of Metal'. The original and a new version re-cut with new added scenes."

Former KISS Guitarist Talks About Touring With Late KISS Drummer ERIC CARR
Former KISS guitarist Mark. St. John recently spoke to Eric-Carr.info about his personal experiences with late KISS drummer Eric Carr during his short tenure with KISS and up to Eric's tragic death on November 24, 1991.
When asked if he had any memories of being on the road with Eric, Mark said, "Yeah, yeah, I don't even remember playing with him, I felt so terrible. But Eric and I used to hang out. Gene [Simmons] had his wigs, right? They were Warren Beatty-type wigs … Warren Beatty Shampoo wigs. Eric and I one time took his wig and were playing catch with it. And Gene's getting all freaked out. 'Don't drop it. It costs so much money.' And then we dropped it on the floor. I can't remember what we called the thing. But we were throwing it back and forth over Gene's head and he's trying to catch it. It drops and gets all dirty on the floor and then we stopped it. It was Eric's idea and I thought it was cool so I played along. It was all in good taste, but Gene got all freaked out about it. That was one thing I remember about the tour, especially Eric. What else? The band was the only people that went on the airplane. Everybody else had to take the tour truck. When we landed, we would go either right to the hotel or right to the area. We'd do a sound check or hotel just to check in. They didn't even tune their own instruments as far as I know. In fact, when I went to audition, they had somebody else tune their instruments. They didn't even bring their own instruments. They just rented the instruments. Crazy stuff. That's alright."

OZZY OSBOURNE: ' I Was Sexually Abused As A Child'
Ozzy Osbourne has said in a newspaper interview that he was sexually abused as a child.
The former BLACK SABBATH frontman said the abuse took place when he was a schoolboy in Birmingham.
"I was sexually abused as a kid," Osbourne, 54, said in an interview splashed across three pages of Monday's (Dec. 1) Daily Mirror. "Two boys used to wait for me to come home after school.
"They felt me and touched me. It became a regular thing on the way home from school — it seemed to go on forever.
"I was afraid to tell my father or mother and it completely fucked me up.
He said he needed counselling later in life to come to terms with it.
"When I was a kid, people didn't talk about these things like they do now," Ozzy said.
"You didn't have chat shows talking about molestation. It used to be the 'Woodentops' and 'Bill and Ben'.
"I worked it out with a therapist. But if you have a traumatic experience when you are young it does fuck you up.
"[Wife/manager] Sharon knows all about it and it was only with her that I could finally relax and be myself."
Ozzy and daughter Kelly will perform their rendition of the BLACK SABBATH classic "Changes" on the German TV show "Wetten, dass..." (hosted by Thomas Gottschalk) on December 6. A European headlining tour, postponed twice due to Ozzy's health problems, will kick off on January 15 in Oberhausen, Germany.

ZAKK WYLDE's Bullseye Guitar To Be Auctioned Off For Charity
Zakk Wylde's Bullseye guitar is currently being auctioned off on eBay, with proceeds going to help victims of the Rhode Island nightclub fire. The auction will last until December 20.
The guitar was originally raffled by Daddy's Junky Music in Warwick, Rhode Island and raised over $6,400, which was donated to the fund. The "Doc" Fund is a victims' fund set up in the name of WHJY DJ Mike "The Doctor" Gonsalves, who, along with 99 others, perished in the February 20 fire at the Station nightclub in West Warwick.
The winner of the raffle was longtime Daddy's customer Rick Webb of Rhode Island. Rick came down to Daddy's Warwick on August 13 to meet Zakk and pick up his prize... or so Zakk thought. Rick surprised everyone when he refused the guitar! He gave it back and asked that the guitar be brought Ozzfest to have it signed by some of the Ozzfest bands, auction it off and give the additional funds to The "Doc" Fund.
The guitar has been signed by Zakk Wylde, Ozzy Osbourne, Marilyn Manson, KORN and Jason Newsted to name just a few. Details of the auction are on www.daddys.com and www.zakkwylde.com.

KISS To Resume Touring In April — Without AEROSMITH
KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has told the Associated Press that the rockasaurus spectacle KISS/AEROSMITH tour that launched last summer is getting near the end of its final leg, with a swing of U.S. dates — including a Dec. 18 gig at the Forum in L.A. — wrapping up toward the end of December. And then, he says, "We'll start back up in April. We will continue, however, without AEROSMITH."
So whatever happened to KISS' much-hyped retirement from touring?
"That had to do with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss," says Gene of the bandmates who, along with Paul Stanley and himself, comprised the original KISS lineup.
"Peter is now healthy. Ace has had a back-and-forth battle with substances, and he told me if he didn't get off the road, he was going to kill himself," says Gene.
In other news, Simmons' much-hyped magazine, Gene Simmons Tongue, has apparently gone "on hiatus" following the publication of its fifth issue. According to a posting from publisher Allen Tuller on the magazine's official web site, "Gene is on tour with AEROSMITH and the tour has been extended indefinitely. With this in mind, we felt it was only fair to go on hiatus until Gene is involved in the publication of the magazine on a day-today basis and the tour schedule simply does not allow sufficient time right now to devote to publishing the next issue of GST." There is no word right now as to when — or if — the magazine will resume publication.

SHARON OSBOURNE: I Cheated On OZZY With RANDY RHOADS
Imdb.com reports that OZZY OSBOURNE's marriage nearly collapsed in the early 1980s — after wife Sharon Osbourne cheated on him with his band's guitarist Randy Rhoads.
The shocking revelation was made public by Sharon in the family's new tome "Ordinary People: Our Story", which charts their incredible lives through the eyes of all members of the Osbourne clan — including children Aimee, Kelly and Jack. And Sharon, 51, admits that the subject of her infidelity with Rhoads — who died in a plane crash in 1982 — is off limits as far as her husband is concerned, because he finds the incident too painful to deal with.
Sharon writes, "When I talk about the early days of the love affair between Ozzy and me, I have to be honest — it wasn't just the two of us. Randy was a vital part of the tale. When Ozzy and I weren't speaking we turned to Randy, and when we were on loving terms he was there too.
"On the road we often ended up in the back of the tour bus together, watching TV and dozing off without thinking anything of it. Not that we were having sex with each other. There was one time I was with Randy. Ozzy knows about it but has never wanted to discuss it. That's his way of dealing with it. But don't read any dissatisfaction into it. Ozzy knows the one-time occurrence was loving, not lustful. And he was just as in love with Randy as I was. He still cries when talking about Randy. So do I."
In the book, Ozzy writes: "You couldn't have illustrated the two of us better than the way we dealt with the devastation of losing our best friend.
"I wanted to drink myself into the grave next to him. Sharon wanted to get back to work. Three weeks later she started auditioning new guitar players — not to replace Randy. We couldn't replace him.
"In a way, we've never lost Randy completely. We continue to play his music and every year on March 19, the day of the plane crash, Sharon and I light a candle for our friend and cry."

GENE SIMMONS Domain 'Hijacked' by Indie Rock Musician
In a bold attempt to gain notice in Simmons Records' increasingly competitive new-to-be-signed artist selection, Seattle rocker Jason Frost has mysteriously posted a message at GeneKlein.com aimed directly at Gene Simmons of the rock band KISS. For those unfamiliar, Gene Klein is KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons' real name which he has not used since High School. Recently Gene has been given the go-ahead from Sanctuary Records Group to revive his record label, Simmons Records. His present search for new artists has ignited a fierce competition among KISS loyalists, fans and musicians worldwide.
Jason Frost is best known for his association with the Seattle grunge movement of the early '90s which included bands such as NIRVANA, SOUNDGARDEN, MARCY PLAYGROUND and others. For the past decade, Jason Frost has remained an underground member of the independent rock artist community. He also served briefly in the U.S. military during those years where he was missing from the music scene. His home on the Internet is JasonFrost.com where more of his music and latest developments can be found. Most recently Jason Frost was involved in a 30-city Hard Rock Café Tour, which was a charitable fundraiser. The tour ended early due to a general lack of finances and a quarter of a million dollars worth of musical equipment being stolen, while on the road. Proceeds and donations from this tour were expected to help feed, house and supply gifts for the homeless and less fortunate this holiday season.
If signed, Jason Frost intends to continue his charitable practices by giving a sizeable portion of all profits and monies gained through his signing and association, of his upcoming album "The Angel Manifesto" with Simmons Records, to select charities and grassroots organizations.
At the website GeneKlein.com, Jason Frost explains that this was done in an attempt to best communicate with Gene Simmons directly (and is not intended to be used in any bad faith). He also states, in his letter online, that he will de-activate and release the domain as soon as his message proposal and request for inclusion under the Simmons Records label has been successfully delivered.
Gene Simmons is best known for his many song hits from the rock band KISS. Simmons is considered to be one of the hardest-working men in show biz, heading many successful new projects (including Gene Simmons Tongue magazine and his latest effort being the resurrection of Simmons Records). Exactly how the blood spitting, fire-breathing, demon faced rock icon record producer reacts to Frost's letter is uncertain, but it's sure to be interesting. It is reported that a copy of the letter to Gene will remain online at Letter2Gene.com for future reference and consideration by Mr. Simmons once the GeneKlein.com domain has been de-activated.

Report: MARILYN MANSON Faces Swiss Criminal Probe
The Associated Press reports that MARILYN MANSON is under criminal investigation in Switzerland after a religious group made a formal complaint about his stage act.
Zurich District Prosecutor Michael Scherrer said Manson was under investigation for allegedly breaching Swiss law protecting religion as well as making incitements to violence during a concert in the city in February 2001.
Scherrer said he interviewed Manson ahead of a sell-out concert in Zurich last weekend.
Christian groups and lawmakers in Zurich had tried unsuccessfully to have the latest concert banned on grounds that Manson's views were offensive to a majority of the population.
The rocker rejected the accusations, Scherrer said. Manson cited artistic freedom and said his act was meant to provoke a debate about violence and religion, the official added.
Scherrer said he had yet to decide whether to charge Manson.

BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION Set North American Release Date For Debut Album
BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION, the new band featuring MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx, L.A. GUNS guitarist Tracii Guns, vocalist London LeGrand, and drummer Scot Coogan (ex-PAUL GILBERT, ONI LOGAN/ROWAN ROBERTSON, SINÉAD O'CONNOR), have set a March 9, 2004 release date through Sanctuary Records for their debut album, "Here Come The Brides".
The CD, which features contributions from previous members John Corabi (ex-MÖTLEY CRÜE, UNION) and Kris Kohls (ADEMA), contains album-quality demos recorded during the pre-production sessions for what was supposed to be the group's "proper" full-length debut. All songs were produced by Stevo Bruno at Klown Records in Santa Monica, California and were mixed by producer Steve Thompson (KORN, METALLICA, GUNS N' ROSES). "Shut the Fuck Up" has been used in a skateboard video shot by Drew Stone of Stone Films.
The complete track listing for "Here Come The Brides" is as follows:
01. Shut The Fuck Up
02. I Don't Care
03. Two Times Dead
04. Brace Yourself
05. I Got A Gun
06. Life
07. Natural Born Killers
08. Revolution
09. Only Get So Far
Sixx was the founding member and primary songwriting force behind MÖTLEY CRÜE, the most successful hard rock band of the 1980s. After bursting out of and then dominating the Los Angeles hard rock and heavy metal scene that exploded more than 20 years ago, Sixx and MÖTLEY CRÜE have sold more than 40 million copies of landmark albums such as "Shout at the Devil", "Theatre of Pain", "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood". Their wild, decadent, rock-star lifestyle became legendary — shaming all previous, supposed masters of excess.
Guns shot to fame with his band L.A. GUNS. The band's 11 albums have sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. Their biggest hit single was "The Ballad of Jayne". Guns was a founding member of GUNS N' ROSES but left and was replaced by childhood friend Slash. He has worked with the likes of MOTÖRHEAD, Johnny Thunders and the MISFITS, and he co-founded the supergroup CONTRABAND with UFO guitarist Michael Schenker. Guns' skills and diversity has led to a great deal of work as a session guitarist in L.A.
Coogan, after hitting some dead ends, got his big break when he landed the gig as the touring drummer for the boy band ALL 4 ONE. He also became an in-demand session player and touring drummer for other artists. Coogan has played with Pete Yorn, Sinead O'Connor and OTEP to name a few. Guns saw him play and after an electrifying studio jam, he was hired on the spot.
LeGrand is a total unknown, but he is obviously something special to hold his own with Sixx, Guns and Coogan. His restless, vagabond background and frustrating music experiences in Georgia ultimately led to a move to L.A. where he met Sixx and Guns. He won't be anonymous for much longer as the frontman for BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION, which Sixx calls a "band of underdogs."

Finnish rockers HANOI ROCKS have slammed former pals MÖTLEY CRÜE over the title of their recently released box set, "Music To Crash Your Car To, Volume 1".
In 1984, CRÜE frontman Vince Neil was arrested on drunk-driving and vehicular-manslaughter charges after a late-night liquor run turned into a tragic accident that killed his passenger, HANOI ROCKS drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley, in addition to seriously injuring two people in an oncoming car.
Neil, who was found to be well over the legal blood-alcohol limit, served 30 days in jail and forked over $2.6 million in restitution.
When questioned about the moniker by Entertainment Weekly, CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx explained that it was meant as a "sarcastic statement towards a lifestyle" and didn't make the connection between it and the accident until Neil (who couldn't be reached for comment by the magazine) expressed misgivings. But by that point, the four-disc compilation was already on the shelves.
That's little consolation for HANOI ROCKS members Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy. "The despicable title by the 'Motley Crude'… is the most tasteless and murderous gimmick to cash in on the past that we've ever heard of," they wrote in a statement faxed to EW from Finland. "There's nothing 'cool' or 'funny' about death… How low can you go?!?"

LED ZEPPELIN To Lure Tourists To Wales
World Entertainment News Network is reporting that lyrics by legendary rockers LED ZEPPELIN are being used to persuade tourists to visit Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales.
ZEPPELIN once stayed at a cottage on the peak in North Wales, where they wrote the classic "Bron Y Aur Stomp" from their "Led Zeppelin III" album.
Now tourism chiefs hope printing ZEPPELIN lyrics on gates and picnic benches will encourage visitors to travel to the area.
John Abiit of Snowdonia National Park says, "We want to make people aware of culture of the area when they are enjoying the countryside.
"The fact that poets and writers have written about and celebrated Snowdonia is one way of helping people understand that this is a different area with a very distinct culture.
"To be able to see what other people have written and how they have been inspired by the landscape can only be of benefit."

2003 marks the 25th anniversary of Cooper spearheading the campaign to restore the decaying Hollywood sign by donating $27,777 to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for one of the O's to be restored. He dedicated the restored letter to his good friend Groucho Marx, who said that Cooper was the last great hope for Vaudeville. Cooper challenged others in the Hollywood aristocracy to match his donation. Those who did included Gene Autry and Hugh Hefner. Cooper's films include "Wayne's World", "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare", "John Carpenter's Prince Of Darkness" and "Something Wilder".

GODHEAD: Original Drummer Rejoins The Fold
GODHEAD have been rejoined by original drummer James O'Connor following the departure of ex-STATIC-X skinsman Ken Jay.
The band were forced to cancel a European tour due to Ken's illness. Now Ken has made the departure definite and permanent, so the band have been looking for a replacement. According to frontman Jason Miller, "We all agreed that the most logical choice was James."
O'Connor had been with the band through three albums, and after years of touring, it was mutually agreed upon that they needed a break. "It wasn't something big or dramatic," O'Connor explains, "and there were never hard feelings. It was something we all agreed on. We've stayed in touch ever since."
During his two-year hiatus from the band, O'Connor has been in Los Angeles playing with other groups ("…no one on a caliber with GODHEAD, though…") and pursuing an acting career. Method, GODHEAD bassist and programmer, explains: "After the time apart, we feel like we're closer than ever. We've all grown as individuals."
"As soon as it was clear that Ken couldn't commit to us for the long-term," explains Miller, "James was the first person that came to mind. We auditioned a few others, but all along the rest of us were thinking we should just call James."
GODHEAD are currently supporting their most recent release, "Evolver", on Reality Entertainment.

REIGN OF TERROR's JOE STUMP: Possible Live Album, Instrumental CD On The Way
Guitarist Joe Stump (REIGN OF TERROR, OBSESSION) has posted the following message on his web site:
"The REIGN OF TERROR European Tour was a ton of fun and the shows went very well. We're hoping to go back sometime early next year (April). We recorded one of the shows and are also recording the Nov. 29th show in Rochester N.Y. and might use a combination of both shows for a live album. The live album would feature tracks from 'Sacred Ground', 'Conquer and Divide', several instrumental tracks, a live guitar solo, a few tunes from [singer] Mike [Vescera]'s past groups (LOUDNESS and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN), also some old RAINBOW and DEEP PURPLE tracks. We will post more on that with a full track listing when a release date is confirmed. Also I'll be recording my 7th instrumental album during Dec. and Jan. to be released early next year. I promise it will be my finest recorded guitar work to date. It's been awhile since I've done a full on studio instrumental record and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I'll also be doing a third instructional DVD, the second one to be released through JoeStump.com. This one will be an advanced Neo-classical DVD covering difficult excerpts from some of my more demanding tracks, Classical pedal point and arpeggio sequences as well as some blazing right hand alternate and economy picking material. I'll also be doing a clinic tour in Dec. going to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and parts of China. So there will be plenty of new Joe Stump products available early next year."

OPETH: Jordan Gig Cancelled!
OPETH have been forced to cancel their previously announced gig in Jordan due to sickness.
The following is OPETH frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt's official statement on the matter:
"It's seem to be a dark spell upon OPETH at this moment. First Chile and now Jordan. I'm in a terrible state myself right now but will try to explain to you our reasons for cancelling.
"[OPETH drummer] Martin Lopez called me 10 minutes before I was supposed to get in the cab for the airport saying he couldn't go. He's suffered a stress-related breakdown and said he simply couldn't do this. We've never cancelled a gig ever before due to the state of the band, so I knew he was serious when he said this. He has a doctors appointment and my guess is that he's suffering from panic or anxiety attacks. This is the reason why we decided to cancel this gig in Amman, Jordan.
"Yesterday our entire (all but one) crew dropped off due to the recent terrorist attacks. See, our crew is from the UK and were worried they'd be going into trouble. So at one point we had no crew, and the gig was in danger of being cancelled. After close talk with Mute Records we decided that we'll go anyways regardless if we had enough crew guys or not, and now this!!
"I want to stress out to all the fans that has travelled high and low to get to the venue in Amman that we are beyond sorry! I can't tell you how bad we feel about this. We sincerely hope that we'll get another chance to do a gig in Jordan soon, in fact we are trying to talk to Mute Records about that possibility. All of us really looked forward to going to Amman, not only because of the gig but also because there was a day set out for us to do some serious sightseeing of your country.
"These are dark times for OPETH and it seems like the circumstances got the best of us this time. We've done over 150 gigs this year I believe so in a way I'm not surprised.
"As I'm writing this I've just got informed about a death in the Akerfeldt family so my mind is not what it should be. I'm trying to keep it together here and explain to you, and apologize for all the problems we've caused.
"Anyways, we love you all and again, we're so sorry!! I'm gonna post something about Martin Lopez state as soon as I know myself."

So at one point we had no crew, and the gig was in danger of being cancelled. After close talk with Mute Records we decided that we'll go anyways regardless if we had enough crew guys or not, and now this!!
"I want to stress out to all the fans that has travelled high and low to get to the venue in Amman that we are beyond sorry! I can't tell you how bad we feel about this. We sincerely hope that we'll get another chance to do a gig in Jordan soon, in fact we are trying to talk to Mute Records about that possibility. All of us really looked forward to going to Amman, not only because of the gig but also because there was a day set out for us to do some serious sightseeing of your country.
"These are dark times for OPETH and it seems like the circumstances got the best of us this time. We've done over 150 gigs this year I believe so in a way I'm not surprised.
"As I'm writing this I've just got informed about a death in the Akerfeldt family so my mind is not what it should be. I'm trying to keep it together here and explain to you, and apologize for all the problems we've caused.
"Anyways, we love you all and again, we're so sorry!! I'm gonna post something about Martin Lopez state as soon as I know myself."

ROB ZOMBIE Working On New Album
Rob Zombie has begun work on the follow-up to 2001's "The Sinister Urge", according to an online post by one of the moderators of the singer/filmmaker's official discussion forum. "[Rob] has stated that in no way will the album conflict with the [filming of the] sequel to [the 'House of 1000 Corpses' movie], which, by the way, will start shooting right after Christmas," the post reads. "All I can get out of him about the musical direction [of the upcoming CD] is that it will be 'dark and heavy'."
Speaking to MTV.com in early September, Zombie appeared to be non-committal with regards to his recording career, stating "I would like to make more records and do stuff, but it becomes a time thing."
In addition to finishing the script for the sequel to his directorial debut, "House Of 1000 Corpses", Zombie stated that he was looking at more film projects, including a third script of his own. "Well, there's a couple of different movies, and I don't know which one could be possibly the next one," he told Launch. "You know, I'm working on a script now that's not finished, and I am up to direct possibly another script that someone else wrote. Neither is confirmed yet at this moment, so I can't really say which is next. But I mean, I'm definitely, you know, looking towards the next thing."
A retrospective of Zombie's musical career on CD and DVD, titled "Past, Present, And Future", was released in September. The CD featured hits from both Zombie's solo albums and his earlier band, WHITE ZOMBIE, as well as two brand new songs, "Two-Lane Blacktop" and "Girl On Fire".

PHILIP ANSELMO Slams DAMAGEPLAN: 'They're Not Doing Anything Different'
Ex-PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo has slammed his former bandmates for "not doing anything different" with their new band DAMAGEPLAN and has one again reiterated the fact that he has no desire of ever returning to his previous group.
Speaking to AbsolutMetal about his current band SUPERJOINT RITUAL, Anselmo said, "I want SUPERJOINT RITUAL to be every-fuckin'-thing that people maybe missed in PANTERA. Because I knew that, you know, PANTERA, not to talk about 'um, because I'm not going to, but if it weren't fuckin' for me, in that fuckin' band...what I fuckin' taught those motherfuckers. You know, you'll see on their new shit [DAMAGEPLAN], the singer [Patrick Lachman] is gonna come out and imitate me, the best he possibly can. He's gonna have to end up singing songs that I wrote when I was fuckin' 20 years old, and they're gonna sound like [guitarist] Diamond Darrell and [drummer] Vinnie Paul's killer sound, you know, they're not doing anything different. Whereas with SUPERJOINT, yeah, we're doing something fuckin' different. I'm not saying it's never been done before, but what I'm saying is, is it's definitely a genre of music that changed my life forever. This is where I've wanted to be for so long, musically, you know, 'cause we've been writing SUPERJOINT shit for oh god, since '93, and you know, long time coming, man. I mean to fuckin' be with them, with this fuckin' band for damn sure."
When asked if the previously announced DOWN acoustic album and DVD will ever come out, Anselmo said, "As long as we're entrapped with Elektra Records, which we seem to be, I'm not doing another fucking thing for Elektra Records unless they...they'd have to promise me...a lot of money, real fuckin' quick, and a lot of promotion. And their gonna have to do better than promises, I want it fuckin' so to the fuckin' T, contracted to where they don't have the upper hand on the band. As they have in the past...I ain't doing nothing for Elektra Records 'cause they ain't done nothin' for me but fuckin' waste my time. Aside from the other band which I ain't ever doin' nothin' with again...and I don't want to talk about it." Read the rest of the interview here.

JUDAS PRIEST Singer Participates In AIDS Documentary
JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford has participated in an upcoming VH1 documentary, "AIDS: A Pop Culture History", which is scheduled to premiere on December 1.
"During our initial conversation, VH1's represenative disclosed the channel intends to commit great resources to the program, so we're all optimistic the show will be great viewing," writes Halford's manager John Baxter on Rob's web site.
According to a posting on VH1's web site, "AIDS: A Pop Culture History" "will examine the history of AIDS as seen through the prism of media and culture. Reviewing how AIDS was reflected in entertainment reveals a greater understanding of how the virus affected the nation's psyche. We'll show how Hollywood first contributed to the panic, then later redefined AIDS as a public health crisis. We'll also see the limits of pop culture's reach, as AIDS seems all but been forgotten among today's entertainers. What role could pop culture play in helping stem AIDS now, especially as it spreads around the world?"
"AIDS: A Pop Culture History" air times (subject to change):
Dec. 01 - 11:00 a.m.
Dec. 01 - 06:00 p.m.

"Love,
"The Metal God"
JUDAS PRIEST frontman Rob Halford has participated in an upcoming VH1 documentary, "AIDS: A Pop Culture History", which is scheduled to premiere on December 1.
"During our initial conversation, VH1's represenative disclosed the channel intends to commit great resources to the program, so we're all optimistic the show will be great viewing," writes Halford's manager John Baxter on Rob's web site.
According to a posting on VH1's web site, "AIDS: A Pop Culture History" "will examine the history of AIDS as seen through the prism of media and culture. Reviewing how AIDS was reflected in entertainment reveals a greater understanding of how the virus affected the nation's psyche. We'll show how Hollywood first contributed to the panic, then later redefined AIDS as a public health crisis. We'll also see the limits of pop culture's reach, as AIDS seems all but been forgotten among today's entertainers. What role could pop culture play in helping stem AIDS now, especially as it spreads around the world?"
"AIDS: A Pop Culture History" air times (subject to change):
Dec. 01 - 11:00 a.m.
Dec. 01 - 06:00 p.m.
Dec. 01 - 09:00 p.m.

Dec. 07 - 01:00 a.m.
In other news, Halford has posted the following message on his official web site:
"Hello all.. It's been a while since I posted because as you know I'm making a new metal masterpiece for 2004!
"I want to say your continued visits and posts on the HALFORD site are a pleasure to read through. You're all very special to me, so keep up the energy! We'll be in front of you before you know it.
"The holiday season is here and I send everyone my love and thanks for your unwavering support.
"This year has been a great one for metal, not only for the HALFORD band, but worldwide a new surge is rising, and 2004 promises to be an incredible metal meltdown!
"Be safe and peaceful and keep the metal faith alive!
"Love,
"The Metal God"

Blood of Tyrants label imprint announced
Blood of Tyrants label imprint announced
Early 2004 will see the formation of a new exclusively
metal label Blood of Tyrants formed as an imprint of seminal Indianapolis-based punk/hardcore label Happy Couples Never Last Records.
“I have just passed up too many killer releases that I
desperately wanted to do but didn’t think that they were logical or appropriate for the current roster of HCNL artists,” says HCNL Records owner Clark Giles.
“I have always wanted to find a way to support the
underground metal scene here in the Circle City and abroad but have been hard-pressed to find an
appropriate way of doing it while preserving the
authenticity of two ‘related’ but in the end ‘different’ scenes. An imprint label dedicated solely to the classic authentic genres of the metal scene whether it be
doom metal or grind-core was the only logical
conclusion to preserve the integrity of what I am trying to do. This is a METAL label in the purest sense. No metalcore, no pretty $200 haircuts. A true 100% metal ONLY imprint.”
While Happy Couples has traditionally focused on
everything from mathematical indie-rock to blasting hardcore thrash, all things “metal” will now be released under the Blood of Tyrants moniker. The label is
starting with a bang alreadypushing an aggressive
release schedule for 2004.
BOT001 The Gates of Slumber “The Awakening” CD/LP-
Pure old-school doom metal in the vein of St. Vitus and Celtic Frost.
Following an appearance on the Shroud of Woe comp, “Tune Down, Doom Out” comp (Church of Doom),
and “At the Mountains of Madness II” (Miskatonic
Records) the Gates of Slumber finally drop their debut full-length record. The vinyl version of this record sports an embossed cover and an extra track.
BOT002 Harakiri “Twilight of the Idols” LP- vinyl
version of this now classic slab of American death metal. Colored vinyl, featuring one extra bonus track not found on the CD or anywhere else for that matter.
BOT003 The Hidden Hand/Wooly Mammoth split LP (split
with McCarthyism records, CD version on Meteor City records)- Wino (ex-St. Vitus, the Obsessed) does it again with his new opus. Okay,okay, so we haven’t
technically heard it yet so we can’t tell you much
about it. But does any band with Wino ever fail to bring the rock?
BOT004 Demiricous full-length CD- The melody of the
New Wave of Swedish metal tempered with the harsh brutality of classic American Death Metal.
These guys have bowling over metal crowds all over the
Midwest with their amazing live show. Their debut full-length will be sure to become a force
to be reckoned with in the coming year.
A website is currently in the works with plans for an
early spring launch. In the meantime, questions can be addressed to Jason McCash at:

Black Metal Intolerance!
Hump Day Report from LOW TWELVVE
Twelve Heads! What's up? Happy Turkey Day! I know it's the Hump Day Report and it's a day late . . . but I've got a good excuse. Let me briefly explain!
I was totally out on my back, whining, puking, and shitting my brains out yesterday with the worst stomach flu I have ever known. HOLY SHIT! My son had it last week, and a few people I know had something like it, but this was unreal. My fever shot up to 102 and so I broke down at 4pm and went to the emergency room. They hooked me up to an IV and ran lots of bloodwork to make sure it wasn't something else. At 8pm they released me and said I had the wicked ass stomach flu that's going around. Nothing else - thank fucking god.
That was yesterday - now I'm up and in rare form my friends. Since I'm feeling much better today and I wanted to hump you all for a quickie. I hope you don't mind! Ha!
Don't miss the brutal show this Saturday!
Saturday November 29th
at the Canopy Club, Goodwin St. Urbana Illinois
8:00pm, $10 tickets, 18 and older
Low Twelve, Lividity, Alchymist and Ill Nino (Roadrunner artists featured on the new Jason/Freddy movie)
This is a killer venue - an old movie theater that has a bar. It's wicked as hell. We'll be on second, but make sure you come out and support all the bands. With the popularity of Ill Nino, there should be a very good crowd - so come out and support us on our final show of 2003!
Did you check out the new Heavycore online store? It's killer! New Heavycore Beanies/Skullcaps for you to pick up . . . plus new Heavycore Survival Kits for the War Against Posers. Fuck yeah! www.lowtwelve.com/hcrecords.html (turn up your sound)
Ctech, the new site host - will be ready for us in the next two weeks. Due to the insane amount of bandwith and room we require for all the sites I run, they needed to purchase a new server and it's being tested right now. How cool is that? You should see the email I get from our current host, bitching about the bandwith we use up. Ha! Once the server passes all the tests, they'll put it in place and then I'll begin the laborous task of transferring everything. Ugh!
The sites will be broken down into four. The Brutality Report, Low Twelve, Heavycore, and This Side Toward Enemy. This way they'll work much better and run smoother. The new host will have streaming audio/video, which will really be wicked as we can run the movie trailer for "Roasting Posers" and much more stuff like that - without you having to download it. You'll be able to just press play and watch/listen. It's going to be the shit.
Enough of my ramblings . . . enjoy your Turkey Day with your families and we'll see you at the big show on Saturday. Of course you'll read all about it in the report this Sunday, but it's always better up close and fuckin' personal.
Brutal Even on the Holidays,

Twelve Heads! What's up? Happy Turkey Day! I know it's the Hump Day Report and it's a day late . . . but I've got a good excuse. Let me briefly explain!
I was totally out on my back, whining, puking, and shitting my brains out yesterday with the worst stomach flu I have ever known. HOLY SHIT! My son had it last week, and a few people I know had something like it, but this was unreal. My fever shot up to 102 and so I broke down at 4pm and went to the emergency room. They hooked me up to an IV and ran lots of bloodwork to make sure it wasn't something else. At 8pm they released me and said I had the wicked ass stomach flu that's going around. Nothing else - thank fucking god.
That was yesterday - now I'm up and in rare form my friends. Since I'm feeling much better today and I wanted to hump you all for a quickie. I hope you don't mind! Ha!
Don't miss the brutal show this Saturday!

Former NILE Bassist/Vocalist CHIEF SPIRES: 'I Don't Like KARL SANDERS'
Former NILE bassist/vocalist Chief Spires has spoken out for the first time about his departure from the group and his decision to form SHAITAN MAZAR with fellow ex-NILE member John Ehlers (guitar)
Speaking to Poland's Masterful Magazine, Spires explained his reasons for leaving NILE. "Well the official press release was something like 'Spires leaves the band due to creative differences, and career direction'," he said. "The truth is there was much more to it than that, but I won't go into this too deep. Speaking in terms of the music, I didn't like the fact that Karl [Sanders, guitar/vocals] was turning NILE into a band based on 'how fast can we go?' I felt we started to lose much of the creativity when this came into play, not to mention that this is the main reason we lost Pete Hammoura [drums/vocals]. Karl and I had a lot of issues, but to keep it short, I just don't like him."
When asked if he still keeps in touch with his former bandmates, Spires said, "Occasionally I speak to Tony Laureano [drums]. I have known Jon [Vesano, bass/vocals] since the days of DEMONIC CHRIST and DARK MOON, and have a lot of respect for him. I think he is a great replacement for me and I he knows I wish him well. Tony is my bro, it was always Tony and I hanging out during the time we shared in NILE. When Tony c
