From Earsplit PR
Hammers of Misfortune
"The band's alien yet olden vibe pulls you in right from the start, The August Engine sounding like a cross between the NWOBHM and Jasonic-era Voivod, with melodies, acoustic respites and suspensions of belief right out of the curmudgeonly Animals album by Pink Floyd. Hell, throw in old school doom and accessible Death Angel to that arcane mix as well...The end result is a singularly unique sound that is in effect a psychedelic version of the most golden moments from Maiden; epic yes, but completely and firmly at a high artistic level that never evokes the cheese of power metal. Entirely something new, and entirely something creatively masterful." - BRAVE WORDS BLOODY KNUCKLES
Psychotogen
"If you are a musician then it might do you good to brace yourself mentally before listening to this album as you might develop a massive inferiority complex. Yup, this is awe inspiring technical death metal, brought to you by a band who did impress with their Perverse And Unnatural Practices debut, but have managed to up the ante drastically with this release...I strongly recommend listening to this on a pair of good headphones, which will be helpful in discovering all sorts of goodies, like the crazy bass work...Without any kind of doubt, this is my Pick of the Issue #1." - MAELSTROM WEBZINE
Trivium
"...Trivium also stand above their peers by being able to write a song with hooks that stick in the listener's head instead of just uncontrollably jumping around from genre to genre. The diehard metal dudes/dudettes might be scared off by the melodies enclosed within, which is another sign Trivium is doing something right. Not entirely breaking ground, Trivium are still hanging out outside the beaten path, using elements of metalcore, thrash and what is damn near indie rock at times. I mean, after listening to crud like the new Avenged Sevenfold, this shit is brilliant." - EXCLAIM
Omen
"Most of you out there will remember OMEN from the 80's. If you don't, they play a very strong style of Power Metal music. It's been nearly 20 years since the band started & they are still going strong on this album with their signature sound. The guitars on this release sometimes have a Thrash metal type vibe to them. The vocals are done in a mix of Power Metal & Thrash Metal styles. You would never think there was a big gap between their last album & this new one, cause they never skipped a beat. Any fan of their earlier work would be very pleased with this new disc!!!" - TREATS FROM THE UNDERGROUND
Helvis
"This album is one hell of a roller coaster ride. It definitely goes all over the place, and just when you think you know what it's all about you fall 1000 feet and your guts and in your throat. Pretty much every sub genre has a little place in the Helvis sound. There's a lot of dirty rock n roll, hardcore, sludge, and even some death metal. It could almost be described as Motorhead meets Eyehategod with a healthy dose of Napalm Death's slower moments thrown in. A few tracks have a bit of an Entombed style swagger to them as well. They have some fairly upbeat tracks too, which definitely have more then a little of a crust feel to them." - UNBOUND ZINE
Asterius
"Asterius is certainly very experimental, it would be hard to try to classify them as one genre or even a combination of two. What you have with Asterius is a very intense, and crushing style of music that runs the gamut from black to speed metal and back again...Asterius is most assuredly like nothing you have heard. I highly encourage at least one try. It might not be for everyone, but it will definitely grab you and keep a hold of you if you like extreme metal." - 1340MAG.COM
YOB
"When stoner rock disappeared up it's own beer-bloated chuffer, bands like YOB stood apart from the whole sorry episode and waved the doom flag with pride. Fans of Sleep and Electric Wizard will feel at home with this US rock trio's lumbering space rock. Mike Scheidt's vocals are the clincher; alternating between inhuman death metal bellowing and a King Diamondesque shriek, he brings an other worldly quality to this wall of heaviness." - KERRANG

HARKONIN NEWS!!!!!
What's up all?
It's been busy at the Harkonin camp here recently. Got some news for everyone, so let's dive right in, shall we?
First off, we would like to take a minute to thank everyone that came out to the show at Creepy Crawl on the 27th. It was a great time, good turnout, and all the bands that played simply killed.
Next show is January 10th at Club 313 in Belleville, Illinois. This is a Fey Victus Production, and a free show. Doors open at 7:00, show starts at 8:00. We will be appearing alongside our brothers in Animated Dead and Diabolic Possession, as well as Forevershadows and Legion. For more information, log onto http://www.feyvictus.tk, http://www.three-1-three.com, or contact Morbid Mark of Fey Victus Productions at morbidmark@charter.net.
As most of you know, since our inception we have been proudly affiliated with Heavycore, the Brotherhood of Heavy Bands. After long consideration and discussion amongst Harkonin, we have decided not to continue with Heavycore. We will continue to link to them, however, we simply do not feel that we (being one of the few Black Metal bands on the 'Core roster) are necessarily right for them. We appreciate everything that Pete Altieri and The 'Core have done for us, and we will support them.
It came to our attention recently that Harkonin has been written up in St. Louis' local mainstream entertainment newspaper, The Riverfront Times. The article can be found both in the print versions, and online at this link: http://riverfronttimes.com/issues/2003-12-24/performance.html/1/index.html. We are extremely pleased to see that someone out there is paying attention. This article came as a complete surprise to all of us, and was unsolicited, so that means the world to us as a band struggling for a bit of respect and recognition. Is Harkonin on our way? We shall see...
In case you have not been to the website recently, we are pleased to announce that the PayPal link is active to order "Seductress of The Unlight" directly from the site. Go to the website (link below), and click the album cover in the top right hand corner to order. Also, on the Media page, you can now download two full length tracks from the CD directly from the site. Apparently without any warning, musicbuilder.com, where we had the tracks available from previously has been torn down. So now, to download two songs from "Seductress...", simply go to our website, click the media page, and scroll to what you want. There are also 5 live songs from our performance at Berzerker Studios on 8/30/03.
One last thing, I have started up a graphic design business called Diabolical Masterworks. If anyone out there needs a band logo, custom desktop wallpaper, CD covers, flyers, or any other digital artwork please check out my site and prices, or for info contact me at diabolical_masterworks@yahoo.com.
That's all we have for now. Check out the links below, and support the scene! Thanks for sticking with us. 2004 is going to be great for the Brethren of War, so come out and fight with us!
Horns High!!!

Coming out from France (Toulouse), ZUBROWSKA is a new and young band with the firm intention of blending the best elements of brutal Death and Metalcore. And we can testify that they’re doing it with unusual hability!!
“One On Six” is their first album with 12 songs that combine the technic and velocity of CRYPTOPSY, the complex craziness of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, the heavy and catchy riffs of DYING FETUS, the weird chords and song structures of CONVERGE and the unexpected mixture of CEPHALIC CARNAGE... all this enriched with two dynamic vocalists and helped with a powerful and crystal-clear production.
ZUBROWSKA is one of these bands that convinces, since the very first listening thanx to their freshness, brutality and technical skills, to both lovers of the most modern brutal Death fans and the most corrosive Metalcore freaks.

ERIAMINELL - "Enraged"

4. Untermensch
5. Submissive Hookers
6. Perish In Flames
7. Arms
8. Resentment
[Human Damnation]
9. Oceanic Deamonic Plutarchia
10. Self Destructive
- ENGLISH -
ERIAMINELL was born in the year 2000 by the will of Lugdush and Vuall, who are joined by Malphas on guitar and bass after endless lineup changes. After Malphas's arrival the band move from the rawest of Black Metal to a genre they like to call "cyber brutal Death Black Metal".
This improvement in style is strongly desired by the band in its entirety, who strive for as personal a sound as possible. We can recognize influences from bands such as Nocturnus, Helstar, Suffocation, Emperor and Limbonic Art, and from some electro-stuff.
ERIAMINELL start composing and after a good while their debut album "Enraged" is ready to be recorded, and they enter the "All Music" studios in Florence to record it and mix it in just one day.
A copy of the album is sent to Nocturnus, legendary floridian technical Death Metal band ("The Key", "Thresholds") and they like it so much they agree to write a promo text for ERIAMINELL.
Then the band sign for Nocturnal Music, and immediately start working on new material, described as more Black Metal oriented than ever, yet more melodic and progressive compared to the devastating debut album.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ERIAMINELL nació en el año 2000 gracias a Lugdush y Vuall, a quienes se les unió Malphas a la guitarra y bajo tras innumerables cambios de formación. Tras la llegada de Malphas a la formación, la banda se movió desde el más crudo Black Metal a lo que ellos dan en llamar "cyber brutal Death Black Metal".
Esta evolución en el estilo fue algo fuertemente deseado por la banda al completo, quienes se esfuerzan en conseguir un sonido lo más personal posible. Podemos distinguir influencias de bandas como Nocturnus, Helstar, Suffocation, Emperor y Limbonic Art, así como también material electrónico.
ERIAMINELL empezó a componer y tras un buen espacio de tiempo, su álbum debut "Enraged" estuvo listo para ser grabado, con lo que entraron en los "All Music" Studios de Florencia para grabarlo y mezclarlo en tan sólo un día.
Una copia del álbum fue enviada a Nocturnus, legendaria banda de Death Metal técnico de Florida ("The Key", "Thresholds") y les gustó tanto que acordaron escribir un texto promocional para ERIAMINELL.
Entonces la banda firmó para Nocturnal Music e inmediatamente comenzaron a trabajar en nuevo material, descrito como más orientado al Black Metal que antes, aunque más melódico y progresivo comparado con su devastador álbum debut.
ERIAMINELL - "Enraged"
1. Stonehearted
2. Braindead
3. Shapeshifter
4. Untermensch
5. Submissive Hookers
6. Perish In Flames
7. Arms
8. Resentment
[Human Damnation]
9. Oceanic Deamonic Plutarchia
10. Self Destructive
- ENGLISH -
ERIAMINELL was born in the year 2000 by the will of Lugdush and Vuall, who are joined by Malphas on guitar and bass after endless lineup changes. After Malphas's arrival the band move from the rawest of Black Metal to a genre they like to call "cyber brutal Death Black Metal".
This improvement in style is strongly desired by the band in its entirety, who strive for as personal a sound as possible. We can recognize influences from bands such as Nocturnus, Helstar, Suffocation, Emperor and Limbonic Art, and from some electro-stuff.
ERIAMINELL start composing and after a good while their debut album "Enraged" is ready to be recorded, and they enter the "All Music" studios in Florence to record it and mix it in just one day.
A copy of the album is sent to Nocturnus, legendary floridian technical Death Metal band ("The Key", "Thresholds") and they like it so much they agree to write a promo text for ERIAMINELL.
Then the band sign for Nocturnal Music, and immediately start working on new material, described as more Black Metal oriented than ever, yet more melodic and progressive compared to the devastating debut album.

Pigface - WHAT TOURING IS ALL ABOUT!!!!!
The United Tour vs The World 2003
Well fuck me, it feels like we have just done the impossible, and maybe we did. Sometimes, maybe always, PIGFACE and these tours are a test, asking, always asking for that last ounce of energy, cash or sweat. It is difficult, with the real world swirling around our heads, to find the strength, the vibe or the spark to ignite a larger fire – take Toledo (please!) on a damp Tuesday in late November for instance – we all – bands and crew – threw our sticks on the fire, poured out ut the last few drops of precious kerosene from our dwindling internal supply and maybe said to ourselves – there you go – that's all I have to give, fuck it (I know I did – it wwas one of many black days for me) THEN, the dying embers of this thing start to glow a little bit, the audience pours their fuel onto the fire, flames leap, combustion on all levels occurs and we all bathe in its healing toasty glow.
T H A N K Y O U !
As much as I love whatever this Pigface thing is ( new additions, returning original members and the rest of you fuckers) The real story here, the backbone of all of this, the fucking damp proof matches – has beeen the crew: Jerry, Joe, Jim, Scotty, Andrew, Luke and Christopher – (and lets not forget Patrick , Condo and Richard!) JESUS, a horrible surprise every day: 3 opening bands, early load, STAIRS, no loaders, no rider, no stage, no room to breathe or think, no time and we are already behind, no space for the merch and more stairs and more boxes of shirts somewhere in the US…..fuck!, THANKYOU!. Anything will seem simple after this, you will laugh at what other people think of as problems and I hope that, although we are all a little bit depleted, weakened and our power levels are flashing red – this experience will ultimately empoower you with a tool that others strive for : the knowledge that whatever happens, it can be and will be dealt with and you will carry with you that - Clint Eastwood High Plains Drifter - quality that frightens some and reassures others – it cannot be purchased except by the high price that yoou have paid during these last five weeks –
T H A N K Y O U !
An extra special thanks to Curse for wading into the shit with me (thank God! – no sandals!) and showing me what great tour management could be and what friendship IS!
You are the smoke on my water, baby!
To our new friends Dope – your ease and delight in joining us onsttage has been joyful, your energy (with flu and bleeding ears!) – insspiring. Edsel, you have made what could have been very difficult much less so – thank you , Diablo and the drum line : exceptional (on what other tour does this shit happen?) P.M.M. and Rachel Stamp all I can say is ooooh Black Cherry! Cant get that riff out of my head - Be safe on your way back to the UK. And Justin – you add grroovy-ness to everything you involve yourself in……..The staff back in the Chicago office and each and every field rep has made an indelible difference to the chances for a positive outcome here – thanks too each and every one of you for every hour, every flyer, every extra mile.
we did it!
Happy Holidays - Love, Peace and RESPECT to you all

Let me first say thank you to all the people, bands, record companies, venues, promoters and small business that we did business with this past year.
We appreciate your business, partronage and look forward to working with you again.
2003 has been a pretty good year for us, despite some growing pains we have grown quite a bit and look forward to continued growth in 2004. The biggest
news for most of you will be our updated price list that we are launching. Basically we have gone to an all in price structure, so there are no set-up fees, film fees, screen fees, we also includes sales tax into our price
so what ever unit price we quote or you see on our on line price list (www.tshirtink.com/custom.html) is what you pay - if you want your stuff shipped then shipping charges will apply. In addition we have made some changes to our business that helped us to reduce our operating costs and so
we have been able to bring our prices down a bit. Our market research over the last couple of months indicates that we have some of the best prices in
the SF Bay Area. Re-orders of the same image will also get a slight discount as well.
Another exciting addition for us is our involvement with Heavy Core - which is an ass-kicking site for all you metal heads. In addition to an upcoming sponsorship of their Brutality Report we are also offering "members"
and "supporters" of the site (youknow who you are) a discount on printing so give us a call or send us an email for a quote.
The only other change we are working on is our own line of apparel which will be coming out soon, we have decided to launch it under a new apparel company
we are forming so once that is all finalized we will let you know.
that is it, thanks and wish you all the best in 2004.

Cannibal Corpse w/Hypocrisy, Exhumed & Vile
Cannibal Corpse w/Hypocrisy, Exhumed & Vile
$15 Advance/$17 Day Of
All Ages
Thursday, February 26th
(Tickets on sale Friday, December 26th at all Ticketmaster locations.)
BANNED in Australia, New Zealand & Korea BANNED from performing any material off their first three albums in Germany, where the sale of "Butchered At Birth" is outlawed completely!
It has been 11 years since a small band out of Buffalo, New York released their gorified Metal Blade Records debut EATEN BACK TO LIFE, and in their decade+ existence, CANNIBAL CORPSE have accomplished much more than getting their music and concerts banned. CANNIBAL CORPSE have been repeatedly targeted by the morality police (Gore, PMRC, Lieberman,
Dole), appeared in a blockbuster Hollywood feature film (Ace Venture: Pet Detective), debuted as the only Death Metal band to rank on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart, graced the covers of virtually every Metal
magazine in the world, toured the globe routinely and sold millions of records. All of this with zero commercial radio airplay and no exposure from MTV, save the periodic obligatory controversial news segment. On
February 26th, 2002, GORE OBSESSED, the band's eighth full-length studio album, will redefine the Death Metal genre and reign as CANNIBAL CORPSE's
most accomplished and scrutinized recording to date. While not infringing on their trademark sound, CANNIBAL CORPSE and multi-platinum first time
CORPSE producer NEIL KERNON (Queensryche, Nevermore, Skrew, Macabre and many more) focused on technically powerful guitars and unmatched bass &
drum syncopation that will leave the current crop of corporate makeup metallers slack jawed. "Pit Of Zombies" rips with alternating tempos and
time changes that never leaves the listener behind, but drags them screaming into the pit. "Mutilation Of The Cadaver" is another prime chunk of meat that sees vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher easily spewing
forth his finest vocal fury on record (including an unnerving fourteen second scream).
Eight albums in and CANNIBAL CORPSE have never defied their core fan base, continually strengthening their place as the most enduring, relevant and uncompromising Death Metal band ever. With GORE OBSESSED introducing future classics "Sanded Faceless", "Hung And Bled", "When Death
Replaces Life" and "Dormant Bodies Bursting", CANNIBAL CORPSE have buried any and all possibility of being dethroned as the reigning purveyors of
aural gore and sonic splatter. Sure to once again peek the interest of those who feel it their responsibility to protect the moral fiber of America's youth culture, CANNIBAL CORPSE again turned to long time friend
and artist VINCENT LOCK to create a visual representation of GORE OBSESSED that could match the band's musical depiction. Having set a high
standard with album covers for BUTCHERED AT BIRTH and TOMB OF THE MUTILATED, LOCKE, as expected, delivered the gore, and more. The CD cover for
GORE OBSESSED will be masked for retail outlets as no "censored" cover will be available domestically. Upon the release of GORE OBSESSED, CANNIBAL CORPSE will headline the 2002 SPRING NECK BREAK U.S. Tour, which, in its second year will once again feature the top extreme Metal bands in the world.

Life Of Agony w/Flaw, Skrape & Collateral Insight (live @ POPS St. Louis)

LIFE OF AGONY, a name not easily forgotten. There was always something unique and interesting about this band that has kept fans enthralled for over a decade. Whether it was the intensity of their live
performances or the haunting melodies & lyrical content, this group radiated a passion and emotion that struck a chord in the hearts of misunderstood
youth all over the world. Perhaps, it was the underlying message of strength, hidden within the group's tales of despair that made such an impact on people. For most listeners, understanding that the songs came from a
genuine place, based on actual experiences made the message really hit home, that they were not alone.
New York's crossover legends LIFE OF AGONY spawned in the summer of 1989, tearing through the underground scene with an undeterred aggression,
obtaining a loyal and devoted cult audience in the process. The outfit caught Roadrunner Record's eye and the band quickly signed to the independent label. The band recruited longtime friend and producer Josh
Silver (of the platinum-selling goth/metal act Type O Negative) to guide them, creating the now classic, debut album, 1993's "River Runs Red." The
band toured relentlessly for years building a die-hard fan base. With each following record, 1995's "Ugly" and 1997's "Soul Searching Sun" the group seemed to morph and evolve, using different approaches and
textures while never losing sight of the distinct elements that made them who they were. LOA toured with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Limp
Bizkit, System of a Down and Incubus with great success in support of their 3 studio efforts.
The LOA band members had been good friends since early childhood, and remained as closely knit as a family. Like all families do, they shared internal problems and conflicts from time to time. Unfortunately, the group ended up imploding over a series of decisions involving member changes, personal issues and differences in musical direction. Original drummer Sal Abruscato exited in 1995 and lead vocalist Keith Caputo left the group in 1997. Remaining members, guitarist Joey Z and bassist Alan Robert, struggled to rekindle the fire that once drove the group by collaborating with new players, but finally decided to call it quits in
1999.
For just two nights, January 3rd and 4th of 2003, the magic happened again. LOA announced a one-time only reunion show, with all four original members together again on stage for the first time since 1995. After
the first date sold out in under 20 minutes, a second show was announced to ensure that more fans would get a chance to witness the historic occasion. Ask bassist Alan Robert his thoughts on the reunion and he will tell you, "After all we've been through together, it's apparent that we have a rare and special chemistry that cannot be duplicated." Guitarist Joey Z states, "We always did what we did because we are fans of the
music first." LIFE OF AGONY was a cornerstone of the New York heavy music scene, respected by peers and fans alike. The group cites collective influences as diverse as Radiohead, Metallica, Pink Floyd, and Black
Sabbath. While you can hear those various influences in LIFE OF AGONY, you can hear touches of LOA in some of today's more popular bands.
January 3rd & 4th 2003, not only marked a turning point for this influential band, but their reunion shows have sparked a whole string of new possibilities. LIFE OF AGONY, who have long been considered, as gone
but not forgotten, just may be back as a force to be reckoned with. The future of the group looks bright, as the band members are very excited to be playing together again. The problems that the band experienced which lead to their demise seem to be rectified. LOA have recently confirmed a full-blown European tour for October/November 2003. The tour is
scheduled to support their upcoming SPV Records double-live album/DVD release "River Runs Again: Live 2003" commemorating their triumphant return.

New @ Score! Music
Shouts of "Happy Freaking Holidays!" can be heard throughout the offices of Score! Music Magazine, resonating around areas in close proximity (and even carrying through to more distant locations at times).
While we admit that we too love the holidays. Heck, any excuse to drink something spiked with rum or eat cookies by the tin-full is reason enough to celebrate in our book. But we are not immune to the Christmastime
stressors. Just getting into the car to pick up a gallon of milk to wash those cookies down (yes we do drink things that are non-alcoholic on occasion) finds us cursing like sailors and shaking our fists at our
fellow roadway lemmings. And gift shopping?!?! Forget about it! That task alone is enough to turn you into Mr. or Ms. Scrooge! So, since we feel your pain, and know what a headache the holiday preparations can
bring, we've decided now would be a great time to bring you some new articles from Score! Music. The Score! elves have been busy writing a rticles with the goal of helping you forget, if only for a short time,
about the vein throbbing in you left temple, or that new tic you've developed.
Now take a deep breath... Inhale... Exhale... Inhale (yes, it's okay to inhale!)... Exhale...
INDEPTH
CONNOR O'BRIEN reaffirms Matt's belief that "good singers are trained, not talented". And he says Mr. O'Brien obviously "learned a thing or two in college". Matthew then takes a look at THREE MILES OUT, "the raw energy of a modern punk-pop band with the musicality of old school glam rock" he says, results in a "fairly enjoyable listening experience."
http://www.scorerocks.com/indepth.html
SHORTIES
Janelle, one of our elves who has recently offered to take on the task of proofing, thus easing our holiday woes a little more, checks out ELECTRIC TURN TO ME which she described as "Excellent". Then her initial
impression of "PUNK GOES ACOUSTIC" explains it all: " plenty of emo/screamo bands - pretty self-explanatory, I'd say." Matt chimes in again with FRED AVRIL and says "this is one of those albums that wraps itself around you, blocking out the world with its intergalactic glow for an hour or so." He recommends it, so we figure you should probably check it out!
http://www.scorerocks.com/shorties.html
INTERVIEW
Busy slave Janelle gets it on with TV SMITH (in an interview... you and your dirty mind!) They talk about everything from "touring the U.S., performing, writing his new record "Not A Bad Day", and of course,
touched upon his days in The Adverts and what it was like to be part of what really is considered to be the last youth cultural movement". Read all about it here:

Shouts of "Happy Freaking Holidays!" can be heard throughout the offices of Score! Music Magazine, resonating around areas in close proximity (and even carrying through to more distant locations at times).
While we admit that we too love the holidays. Heck, any excuse to drink something spiked with rum or eat cookies by the tin-full is reason enough to celebrate in our book. But we are not immune to the Christmastime
stressors. Just getting into the car to pick up a gallon of milk to wash those cookies down (yes we do drink things that are non-alcoholic on occasion) finds us cursing like sailors and shaking our fists at our
fellow roadway lemmings. And gift shopping?!?! Forget about it! That task alone is enough to turn you into Mr. or Ms. Scrooge! So, since we feel your pain, and know what a headache the holiday preparations can
bring, we've decided now would be a great time to bring you some new articles from Score! Music. The Score! elves have been busy writing a rticles with the goal of helping you forget, if only for a short time,
about the vein throbbing in you left temple, or that new tic you've developed.
Now take a deep breath... Inhale... Exhale... Inhale (yes, it's okay to inhale!)... Exhale...
INDEPTH
CONNOR O'BRIEN reaffirms Matt's belief that "good singers are trained, not talented". And he says Mr. O'Brien obviously "learned a thing or two in college". Matthew then takes a look at THREE MILES OUT, "the raw energy of a modern punk-pop band with the musicality of old school glam rock" he says, results in a "fairly enjoyable listening experience."
http://www.scorerocks.com/indepth.html
SHORTIES
Janelle, one of our elves who has recently offered to take on the task of proofing, thus easing our holiday woes a little more, checks out ELECTRIC TURN TO ME which she described as "Excellent". Then her initial
impression of "PUNK GOES ACOUSTIC" explains it all: " plenty of emo/screamo bands - pretty self-explanatory, I'd say." Matt chimes in again with FRED AVRIL and says "this is one of those albums that wraps itself around you, blocking out the world with its intergalactic glow for an hour or so." He recommends it, so we figure you should probably check it out!
http://www.scorerocks.com/shorties.html
INTERVIEW
Busy slave Janelle gets it on with TV SMITH (in an interview... you and your dirty mind!) They talk about everything from "touring the U.S., performing, writing his new record "Not A Bad Day", and of course,
touched upon his days in The Adverts and what it was like to be part of what really is considered to be the last youth cultural movement". Read all about it here:

heavycore - final reminder
Heavycore Brothers:
This is the last email I'm sending out to remind bands about the new membership policy. Effective 1/1/04 the membership list will be updated on the site. Any bands who do not re-apply and pick option 1 or 2 of paying their membership dues will be removed from Heavycore.
You can pick to either pay $10 or buy $15 or more in merchandise to keep current. For your membership fee you're going to see lots of things new in 2004 in the Core.
www.lowtwelve.com/membership-signup.html (sign up here)
What are some things coming up on the site that you'll be able to enjoy as a member?
1. Members Only Area - I am going to create a password protected members only area where I plan on posting gig contacts all over the world, and many other resources for the bands to use. This will take a while to build - but once I get it going - it should be a great way for you to find clubs for gigs with great contact info . . . plus info on radio, zines, and others who actually take the time to review your music and give you some decent promo!
2. Expanded Merchandise - with the new membership fee, we'll be able to broaden the merchandise section. We've already added the beanies and skull caps . . . and more will follow. Of course the "Roasting Posers Volume I" DVD will be coming in early 2004 - pick one of those up! You'll get 10% off our merchandise once you're a card carrying member.
3. New Server/Host - I'm moving the site to a new host which will be able to give us streaming audio and video. This should really improve the site. We'll be moving to the new host later this week.
4. Expanded Service will be offered to Heavycore bands who want to put an mp3 on the site in a streaming format with others. This should be totally kick ass and a great feature to add especially with the demise of mp3.com
SUPPORTERS! You'll be getting an email shortly about updating your information for the new supporters page - so hang in there.
So bands - don't let your Heavycore membership slip away. Join forces with us and stay in the Core. Click the link below to go and sign up now, as an existing band to speed up the process.

I wish all of you good things in 2004 and hope you decide to stay a part of the greatest organization in metal today.

12.22.03 - Life lost..
Life is fleeting, everyone knows that. When you're not looking its got the nastiest way of going bad. Nothing hurts quite as much as losing a friend...
someone you love. Saturday morning, December 20th, Louie Garon, a dear friend of ours passed away. Victim of a struggle with cancer he was unable to overcome.
News like that hits you like cold steel right through the heart. As a result, we've confirmed it, Shiverdown will be part of 2004's edition of Moshcore, a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society, this coming February. We'll add more information on this shortly. Our deepest and most heartfelt condolences go to Louie's family and anyone who's had the privilege of knowing him. Rest
in peace my friend, you'll never be forgotten. We're gonna miss you terribly…
This one's for you Louie… Ben

LAY DOWN ROTTEN - "Paralyzed By Fear"
1. Fall
2. Beautiful Brutality
3. Final Psychotic Eclipse
4. Forsaken
5. Mirinda (Intro)
6. Modern Kind Of Hate
7. Lost Time
8. Paralyzed By Fear
9. Pile Of Desolation
10. Cheyn-Stok´sche
- ENGLISH -
LAY DOWN ROTTEN were formed back in 1999 as a solo-project of Daniel Jakobi who was playing bass in a Power Metal band at that time. In fact he wasn't very happy with that because his heart was pounding for good old Death Metal, so after recording one song by himself, he started to recruit musicians for his band and in November 2000 they recorded their first demo "Colder As Cold".
After playing some shows with regional stablished bands in order to gain some live experience, the band recorded their second demo "Way Of Weakness" in July 2001. New songs were written during 2002, and in April 2003, the band entered the studio again, this time to record their debut album "Paralyzed By Fear". Shortly after, a deal was signed with REMISSION REC. for the release of this album which came out in November that year.
For those who aren't familiar with LAY DOWN ROTTEN and for those who love the mighty old school Death Metal, this album includes 10 songs of a heavy and catchy stuff influenced by bands like HYPOCRISY, FLESHCRAWL, BOLT THROWER, AT THE GATES, GOREFEST...

LAY DOWN ROTTEN se formó allá por 1999 como un proyecto en solitario de Daniel Jakobi quien por aquel entonces tocaba el bajo en una banda de Power Metal. De hecho él no estaba muy contento con éso, ya que su corazón latía por el buen Death Metal, así que tras grabar un tema él mismo, comenzó a reclutar músicos para su banda y en Noviembre del 2000 grabaron su primera demo "Colder As Cold".
Tras tocar algunos conciertos con bandas reginales con más nombre para ganar algo de experiencia en vivo, la banda grabó su segunda demo "Way Of Weakness" en Julio del 2001. Ya en el 2002, la benda compuso nuevos temas y fue en Abril del 2003 cuando decidieron entrar de nuevo en estudio, ésta vez para grabar su primer álbum completo "Paralyzed By Fear". Poco después, la banda consiguió un contrato con REMISSION REC. para la edición de éste álbum que fue editado en Noviembre del mismo año.
Para aquellos que no estén familiarizados con LAY DOWN ROTTEN y para aquellos que aman el poderoso Death Metal de la vieja escuela, éste álbum incluye 10 temas de un material pesado y pegadizo influenciado por bandas como HYPOCRISY, FLESHCRAWL, BOLT THROWER, AT THE GATES, GOREFES

Nocturne update: December 19th
Hello everyone!
A couple of weeks ago, I told you all that I was nominated for the category of "FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR" by Dallas' biggest commercial hard rock station, 97.1 The Eagle. I asked you all to vote, and
apparently you all did, because I won the award! Yay! So I just wanted to give you all an enormous THANK YOU for voting. I accepting the award on the
air last Sunday night. I also wanted to thank Robert Miguel and everyone at The Eagle for the nomination and for their support in local music.
On a different subject, the Nocturne message board has been receiving a TON of traffic lately, and there are some really interesting topics that have come up. If you haven't visited our board yet, then you should!
Here is the link:
http://www.nocturne.cc/cgi-bin/board/ikonboard.cgi
Chris and I are currently very busy finishing our new CD, and we have no shows planned for the next couple of months. So you will probably not receive another e-mail from me for at least a month or so. (But I'll
still be posting on the message board.) So in the mean time, I would like to wish you all a very safe and fun holiday!!! Thank you all so much for your tremendous support this past year. We couldn't do this
without all of you, and your support and faith in our band means so much to us. Nocturne is going to attack 2004 full force, so be prepared to see a lot of us in the coming year!!!
Take care,
- Lacey

Hello everyone!
A couple of weeks ago, I told you all that I was nominated for the category of "FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR" by Dallas' biggest commercial hard rock station, 97.1 The Eagle. I asked you all to vote, and
apparently you all did, because I won the award! Yay! So I just wanted to give you all an enormous THANK YOU for voting. I accepting the award on the
air last Sunday night. I also wanted to thank Robert Miguel and everyone at The Eagle for the nomination and for their support in local music.
On a different subject, the Nocturne message board has been receiving a TON of traffic lately, and there are some really interesting topics that have come up. If you haven't visited our board yet, then you should!
Here is the link:
http://www.nocturne.cc/cgi-bin/board/ikonboard.cgi
Chris and I are currently very busy finishing our new CD, and we have no shows planned for the next couple of months. So you will probably not receive another e-mail from me for at least a month or so. (But I'll
still be posting on the message board.) So in the mean time, I would like to wish you all a very safe and fun holiday!!! Thank you all so much for your tremendous support this past year. We couldn't do this
without all of you, and your support and faith in our band means so much to us. Nocturne is going to attack 2004 full force, so be prepared to see a lot of us in the coming year!!!
Take care,
- Lacey

[VNStreetTeam] Some Exciting news!
Okay street teamers. Looks like next year is going to be a busy year for you. As well as our normal gigs and play dates, it looks like it has been confirmed:
Verbal Narcotic WILL BE TOURING in the summer of 2004 with fellow Heavycore bands 3 Headed Moses(Missouri) and Ominous(New Jersey)...we don't have all the details worked out as yet, but as soon as we do, we'll let you know. Obviously the more you can all
help out with promoting the band this year, the better the tour will turn out.
Also, we'll be doing the Metal Hotties calendar for '04 since we had more than enough volunteers to be able to do it. Make sure to get your copy, and know that in doing so, you will be helping us out by funding our tour. They should be ready for release in mid-January
if all goes well.....

StonerRock.com Newsletter
Howdy!!
This here is a StonerRock.com Newsletter!! You're used to getting regular All That's Heavy newsletters from me but I really haven't sent out too many of these StonerRock.com Newsletters in the past. I probably won't be doing too many more in the future, either. Right now I have some very big and very special StonerRock.com announcements to make and let me just be very clear that I'm extremely thrilled and proud to be doing so! Here goes:
NEWSLETTER CONTENTS:
=======================
1) StonerRock.com 4 Year Anniversary!
2) StonerRock.com Performance Upgrades!
3) K666 Radio is Back and Better than Ever!
1) StonerRock.com 4 Year Anniversary!
===============================
Yep!! That's right! As of today StonerRock.com has been online for 4 full years!! I officially launched StonerRock.com on December 15th, 1999 and it's pretty much taken up every second of my time and every ounce of my energy since then! Don't think I'm complaining though - I had nothing better to do anyways and it has definitely been worth all of the
effort!!! I am very happy to say that StonerRock.com is still going strong!
Over the last 4 years StonerRock.com has surpassed:
~20,000 registered community members
~650,000 messages posted to our forums
~1,800 titles added to our All That's Heavy store
~1,200 MP3s added to our MP3 Jukebox
~2,600 live band photos
Wow!!! Thank You to all of our visitors, members and customers for continuing to support what we're doing! Here's hoping there's another 40 years to come!!
2) StonerRock.com Performance Upgrades!
==================================
As of October 31st the StonerRock.com webpages and files started downloading at lightning fast speeds! Over the course of the last 4 years we have had to continually upgrade StonerRock.com to handle the rapidly and constantly increasing number of daily visitors. We originally started out on a shared server which hosted StonerRock.com along with many
other small websites. Before too long StonerRock.com had bogged that sever down with so much traffic that we were basically forced to upgrade to a
dedicated server by our hosting provider, even though we really couldn't afford it at that time. And then it didn't even take a year before we'd outgrown our dedicated server!! We really couldn't afford another
upgrade at that time so, admittedly, StonerRock.com has been quite slow for the last year (or even two). At one point we even ran a fund raiser raffle to raise some money for the upgrade but we fell far short of our goal - so it never happened. Finally, we are able to afford this badly needed upgrade and it's a doozy!!
StonerRock.com is now running on 2 brand new super-beefy state-of-the-art dedicated server machines! This means that the general download speeds of our webpages, MP3s and images will be immensely faster than they were before October 31st. Pages that used to take 30 seconds or even a minute to fully load will now load within the blink of an eye in most
cases. The difference really is AMAZING!!
We've been working towards this upgrade for a very long time and it had seemed impossibly out of reach until now. I really hope you're all enjoying the much, much, much faster StonerRock.com!!
3) K666 Radio is Back and Better than Ever!
==================================
If the performance upgrade was "a long time coming" then this "took an eternity". Again, I'm absolutely thrilled that I am announcing this finally!!! K666 Radio is back online!!!! AND, it's now finally available
in a high-bandwidth 96kbps version (near CD quality sound!) as well as the low-bandwidth 24kbps version that we've always had!! Other K666 improvements include an online playlist so you can see what's playing even if your player doesn't list the song titles. We've also added 3000 more MP3s to the playlist!! This brings the K666 Radio playlist well over
8000 songs!! Check out all of the new K666 Radio features by visiting http://www.stonerrock.com/ ad clicking on the "K666 Radio" link in the top menu. If you're looking for an easy way to find new music, K666 Radio is it!!!

is this good next time around!! Thank you so much for all of your
support over the last 4 years!! It's your fault that we're still online!!!!

INDIANOLA RECORDS INKS ROCKERS IN PASSING
(December 15, 2003)
Throwing a wrench in anyone's preconceived notions of their label, Indianola Records have signed rock outfit IN PASSING to their label. Hailing from Central Florida, but soon relocating to Pennsylvania, IN PASSING have built a strong following throughout the Southeast with constant efforts to get their name out there. Continuing in this style of always working, the band will be touring in February with Rookie Of The Year and with Lightweight Holiday in March.
IN PASSING will be entering the studio with Matt Goldman (COPELAND, A SMALL VICTORY, UNDEROATH) in January/February 2004 to record their debut full length, to be titled "Look Alive," that has been tentatively set for a April 20th, 2004 release date. More information will be available soon.

SEX POSITIONS SET DATE FOR FORTHCOMING DEBUT
(December 12, 2003)
Born out of the untimely demise of hardcore stalwarts THE DEDICATION comes SEX POSITIONS. Emoting raw hardcore emotion with a dire need for musical experimentation, SEX POSITIONS truly are like no one else out there. A vessel for true artistic progression, SEX POSITIONS harbor just as many new wave and classic punk influences as they do traditional hardcore ones, breaking new ground while nipping at the heels of all.
The band recently recorded their debut full length at Godcity with engineer Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, OLD MAN GLOOM, CURL UP AND DIE), which has been set for a March 9th, 2004 release date. More information on the release as the date nears.
SEX POSITIONS will also be heading out on tour this month, bringing with them limited tour versions of their new full length on LP. Check them out and pick up a copy at these shows:

THE POWER & THE GLORY ENTER STUDIO
(December 12, 2003)
Formerly known as DOWNPOUR, THE POWER & THE GLORY are ready to write the next chapter in their intricate history.

INDIANOLA RECORDS INKS ROCKERS IN PASSING
(December 15, 2003)
Throwing a wrench in anyone's preconceived notions of their label, Indianola Records have signed rock outfit IN PASSING to their label. Hailing from Central Florida, but soon relocating to Pennsylvania, IN PASSING have built a strong following throughout the Southeast with constant efforts to get their name out there. Continuing in this style of always working, the band will be touring in February with Rookie Of The Year and with Lightweight Holiday in March.
IN PASSING will be entering the studio with Matt Goldman (COPELAND, A SMALL VICTORY, UNDEROATH) in January/February 2004 to record their debut full length, to be titled "Look Alive," that has been tentatively set for a April 20th, 2004 release date. More information will be available soon.

SEX POSITIONS SET DATE FOR FORTHCOMING DEBUT
(December 12, 2003)
Born out of the untimely demise of hardcore stalwarts THE DEDICATION comes SEX POSITIONS. Emoting raw hardcore emotion with a dire need for musical experimentation, SEX POSITIONS truly are like no one else out there. A vessel for true artistic progression, SEX POSITIONS harbor just as many new wave and classic punk influences as they do traditional hardcore ones, breaking new ground while nipping at the heels of all.
The band recently recorded their debut full length at Godcity with engineer Kurt Ballou (CONVERGE, OLD MAN GLOOM, CURL UP AND DIE), which has been set for a March 9th, 2004 release date. More information on the release as the date nears.
SEX POSITIONS will also be heading out on tour this month, bringing with them limited tour versions of their new full length on LP. Check them out and pick up a copy at these shows:

The Nail News >> December 16, 2003
Hey everyone!
So it's safe to say that the holiday season is in full effect. Christmas lights are up, trees are decorated, malls are over-crowded, and the turtle doves are floating all around. Heads up, you don't want to get

You're pretty safe though - sitting there at your computer, drinking your peppermint hot chocolate and rockin' your pajamas well into the 3 o'clock hour. You probably won't even get dressed and head out until
those doves are long gone anyway. So settle back into your chair, take another sip of your hot chocolate, let the space heater warm the tips of your toes, and read on for the latest news from Tooth & Nail.

- KARMAGEDDON MEDIA - < CRUACHAN album news >
Irish folk metal band CRUACHAN recently finished the production for their new (and meanwhile 4th) full-length album entitled PAGAN.
The band recorded 15 songs of which 13 will end up on the final album and the remaining songs will be used as bonus-material.
Some of the song titles on the Pagan-album are Michael Collins, The Gael, The March to Cluain tairbh, Viking Slayer and 1014 A.D.
In an official statement Cruachan spokesman Keith Fay says:
"The songs on our new album are certainly the best that I have written, they vary from gritty, intense pagan metal, such as on the title track "Pagan" to mellow, atmospheric ballads such as "The Gael" which continues the story of "Death of a Gael". The sound on the album is very raw when compared to FolkLore or The Middle Kingdom, some early reviews have likened the feel of the album to that of "Tuatha na Gael".
- The album was recorded and mixed at Radio Na Life Studios in Dublin, Ireland together with producer Al Cowen.
- Cover artwork is painted by John Howe, the leading JRR Tolkien illustrator and the conceptual artist from The Lord of the Rings-movies.
- PAGAN is scheduled for an early March 2004 release on Karmageddon Media.
- A brand-new sound sample of the Pagan-album can be downloaded on the band's official website: www.cruachan.cjb.net

MALEVOLENT CREATION NEWS 12/9/03 -- Florida Death Metal veterans Malevolent Creation have titled their 9th full-length album "WARKULT". This album will be recorded in February with producer Jean Francois Degenais in control once again in Florida. Release date is set to be in June 2004 which will coincide with the band's European Summer Festival appearances. As is with each Malevolent Creation album our goal is to create the heaviest album we can and this album is no exception! Some song titles to appear on "WARKULT" are: 1) Murder Reigns, 2) Dead March, 3) Supremacy Through Annihilation, 4) Merciless, 5) On Grounds Of Battle. At least 10 songs will be recorded for "WARKULT" and a few cover-versions from some obscure thrash metal bands. First up is a cover from Australian cult band HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH's song "Crucifixion" from 1988. Second up is a cover of atleast one song from the 1986 4-song demo from Buffalo, NY thrash outfit LEVIATHAN. Leviathan was fronted by vocalist Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse) along with guitarist Jeff Juszkiewicz (x-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 they're demo. They totally influenced us to being a better band and record our first demo in early '87. The band was amazing and all 4 songs kill on that demo, but we will record at least one song from that classic demo tape. -- Phil Fasciana, Malevolent Creation.

MALEVOLENT CREATION NEWS 12/9/03 -- Florida Death Metal veterans Malevolent Creation have titled their 9th full-length album "WARKULT". This album will be recorded in February with producer Jean Francois Degenais in control once again in Florida. Release date is set to be in June 2004 which will coincide with the band's European Summer Festival appearances. As is with each Malevolent Creation album our goal is to create the heaviest album we can and this album is no exception! Some song titles to appear on "WARKULT" are: 1) Murder Reigns, 2) Dead March, 3) Supremacy Through Annihilation, 4) Merciless, 5) On Grounds Of Battle. At least 10 songs will be recorded for "WARKULT" and a few cover-versions from some obscure thrash metal bands. First up is a cover from Australian cult band HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH's song "Crucifixion" from 1988. Second up is a cover of atleast one song from the 1986 4-song demo from Buffalo, NY thrash outfit LEVIATHAN. Leviathan was fronted by vocalist Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse) along with guitarist Jeff Juszkiewicz (x-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 they're demo. They totally influenced us to being a better band and record our first demo in early '87. The band was amazing and all 4 songs kill on that demo, but we will record at least one song from that classic demo tape. -- Phil Fasciana, Malevolent Creation.

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!
http://www.razorbackrecords.com
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!

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."

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!!

Los viejos tiempos siempre fueron mejores!! Es cierto, y por éso tantas bandas vuelven a sus raíces y otras nuevas están emergiendo, sabiendo que ése antiguo sentimiento es el que domina!! VERMINOUS (ex-DELVE) están aquí para conquistar y no con el típico Death sueco en la onda ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER, etc, sino con un estilo más endiablado y menos explotado... que no es otro que el creado por los dioses GROTESQUE (pre-AT THE GATES).
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”
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

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 / 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!

Lamb of God DVD Info!
What's up freaks?
Got some news for you about the DVD.
Beginning 12/15 the DVD "Terror and Hubris" will be available at the following location: http://www.lambofgoddvd.com/ . There will be links from the main www.lamb-of-god.com site as well. This pre-instore sale is exclusively for our online friends and fans that want this thing as badly as we did.
There are a few special sections in the DVD that weren't announced including 'The Blair Shit Project' and the 'Ruff Buffet' - if you don't know yet, you will soon...nevermind the worst pics of each other we could possibly find .
This is no 'rockstar' DVD, this is more of a 'sad rejects ' kind of DVD - but in a very entertaining way - kinda like COPS in a trailer park with less cops and more instruments.
We kept our promise to keep it cheap and made sure to give you guys plenty to laugh about and pick on us about over the next few years .
Thanks in advance for the support and we sincerely hope you guys enjoy this thing as much as we do!
Later,
Chris

Beginning 12/15 the DVD "Terror and Hubris" will be available at the following location: http://www.lambofgoddvd.com/ . There will be links from the main www.lamb-of-god.com site as well. This pre-instore sale is exclusively for our online friends and fans that want this thing as badly as we did.
There are a few special sections in the DVD that weren't announced including 'The Blair Shit Project' and the 'Ruff Buffet' - if you don't know yet, you will soon...nevermind the worst pics of each other we could possibly find .
This is no 'rockstar' DVD, this is more of a 'sad rejects ' kind of DVD - but in a very entertaining way - kinda like COPS in a trailer park with less cops and more instruments.
We kept our promise to keep it cheap and made sure to give you guys plenty to laugh about and pick on us about over the next few years .
Thanks in advance for the support and we sincerely hope you guys enjoy this thing as much as we do!
Later,
Chris

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,

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
- ZEKE Tour Dates

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!
-------------------------------------------|

(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:

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!!!"

"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

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!!!

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

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.

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
FEAR FACTORY guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers has posted the following message on the band's official web site:
"Got to Vancouver on Tuesday. I was supposed to arrive on Monday, but I discovered that my root canal in one of my front teeth was cracked and it was about to get infected.

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.

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."

"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!"

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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!

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. :-)

**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.”

"Tony"
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.

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

Richard Bateman – bass

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."

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).

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'."

Former MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee will sit in behind the kit at SKRAPE's show December 18 at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, California, according to MTV.com.

SKRAPE's sophomore album, "Up The Dose", is due on January 13 through RCA Records. It was produced by Jimbo Barton (QUEENSRŸCHE, GODSMACK) and was recorded partially in SKRAPE's own Orlando, Florida rehearsal/recording studio.

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. "Keri has had a fantastic time playing with L.A. GUNS, and would like to thank all the fans for their continued support, but now has to concentrate on the Adler project," reads the statement. "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."
As previously reported, ADLER'S APPETITE (formerly SUKI JONES), which is rounded out by RATT/ex-LOVE/HATE singer Jizzy Pearl, FASTER PUSSYCAT guitarist Brent Muscat, and ex-VINCE NEIL/RATT bassist Robbie Crane, have lined up the following shows during December:
Dec. 19 - Dayton, OH @ Hara Arena (w/ JACKYL)

Also appearing at the Las Vegas show will be Marky Ramone and his band the LADY KILLERS along with MOTOCRIST. Two more bands are expected to be added to the lineup. Tickets will be sold through Ticketweb.com.

He said: "The one thing that the people of Birmingham prize above all is lack of pretence and what better way to celebrate this than an award for public figures who demonstrate that quality to the world."
Nine celebrities are nominated for the grand title of "Brummie of the Year" — to be announced at an award ceremony at the Bull's Head pub on Price Street next Friday night.

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!

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
