The new album, in which band members strive to transcend anything previously recorded, will follow up their last CD Blowin’ Up The Machine, which released last year on Frontiers/Locomotive.

According to Michelle Meldrum, “The new songs are slammin’, heavier and more exciting than ever. I am honored to work with Michele Madden, she is an amazing singer with an extremely heavy voice and a huge range. We are venturing into new territory sonically, and can’t wait to perform the new material live. Laura Christine is beyond awesome and definitely brings a heavy edge with her background experience from WARFACE, and…well, Gene is a drum god and his history speaks for itself. It’s a new era for the band and it feels great.”

METALLICA Frontman Comments On 'Taliban-Like Beard' Rumor

Finland's MTV3 conducted an interview with METALLICA frontman James Hetfield in Helsinki on Sunday, July 15. Watch the interview in two parts: Part#1, Part#2.

During the chat, Hetfield was asked about the report that he was detained by U.K. airport security earlier in the month on his way to performing in London for Live Earth.

Britain's The Times claimed that Hetfield was held and questioned due to what friends called his "Taliban-like beard." According to the paper, the METALLICA singer was briefly questioned before "red-faced" officials realized he was a rock star.

Speaking to MTV3, Hetfield said of his beard, "There's a rumor going around that I was stopped at an airport for having this. They thought I was — it's just a made-up rumor — that I was some terrorist or something. I haven't seen many terrorists with tattoos, so…"

DUBLIN DEATH PATROL : Debut CD Available
2007-04-12 - View or add comments : (0)
DUBLIN DEATH PATROL (DDP), the new band featuring TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy and former EXODUS vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza, is making its long-awaited debut CD available via its official web site.

Billy originally teamed up with fellow Dublin, California ragers Willy Lange (RAMPAGE, LAAZ ROCKIT), Souza and three of the Billy brothers as well as some other local Dublin boys.

The seeds were planted in or about 1980 with a Bay Area thrash band called RAMPAGE, featuring neighborhood kids from Dublin, California — Chuck Billy, along with his brother Andy Billy, Greg Bustamante, Ernie Boehm and Willy Lange. The guys were about 18 years old and had all known each other since they were about five. They grew up listening to a variety of bands — from LED ZEPPELIN, KISS, AEROSMITH to THE DEAD KENNEDYS and THE SEX PISTOLS — and were influenced by the sounds of the late '70s and early '80s.

This time period was a great time for a bunch of kids who lived out in the 'burbs, and the boys from Dublin with their long hair and their naïve attitudes would go to the clubs to rage and see THE DEAD KENNEDYS and whatever punk shows that trails through the Bay Area. Lange recalled, "We learned quickly that people in the big city were a little different." The boys from Dublin got into more than a few fights before any reputation was established, and hence the DUBLIN DEATH PATROL was born.

Q: Let's get this out of the way, how's Axl doing and how's the band holding up after the European tour?

NAPALM DEATH bassist Shane Embury has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"The European tour [with BORN FROM PAIN and MENDEED] is gaining more and more momentum as the days progress.We had a little bit of a slow start but for sure the last few shows in Germany and yesteday in Prague were great - although the Matrix show in Prague must rank as one of the hottest shows ever; it almost felt like you were buning inside! So today we are in Budapest. It's a nice sunny day and it looks like tonight's show will be a cool one also. There's been a lot of fun on the tour and all of the bands have been getting along well which is always a bonus — very relaxed and that's cool."

'Eyes Of The Insane' Video Posted Online

SLAYER's video for the song "Eyes of the Insane" has been posted online exclusively at MP3.com.

Directed by Iranian filmmaker Tony Petrossian (SLIPKNOT), "Eyes of the Insane" is a first-person narrative about the horrors leading up to the final moments of a solder at war. The entire video is a single, long and tight close-up of the soldier's eye with images clearly reflected within his pupil and iris and perfectly choreographed with the rhythm of the music. Reflected are disconcerting images of para trooping into enemy territory, gunfire, helicopters and tanks, explosions, poignant flashbacks of his wife and child and home, and the images of his death. Two endings were filmed — one where the soldier dies from his combat injuries, and the other where he commits suicide.

Agankast performed at the UKs biggest new Festival Bloodstock in September to a great reaction from the crowd.. with excellent reviews appearing on the BBCs own website surprisingly. Agankast are now in the process of securing some Festival dates in Europe in 2007, which is one step further to their goal of getting out into the balkans for some dates. The band have also begun the early recording stages of their third self promotional CD album. It is set to be a "Double album CD", and expected to be entitled "Walking with Angels" .... this New Double CD continues the prolific songwriting onslaught that accompanys Agankast, with already two albums written and released and an albums worth of free material available online.... Agankast again prove that the difference between a signed band and an unsigned one is very confusing.

MY DYING BRIDE's video for the song "Deeper Down" has been posted online at YouTube.com. According to director Charlie Granberg, the clip is "about a guy that is so filled with grief and self-pity that he sees the world as totally black, even though you get a hint in the beginning of the video that it's summer and all. Then his visions and view of the world takes over. And it just gets darker and darker from there. Is he about to commit suicide or just taking a swim? That's up for you to decide. I have tried working on a subconcious level with a lot of symbolism and metaphors, but still trying to make it somewhat documentary-like and believable."

QUIET RIOT's BANALI, DUBROW Talk About New Album

Wayne "Doobie" Dubay of Glam-Metal.com recently conducted an interview with QUIET RIOT members Kevin DuBrow and Frankie Banali. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

Glam-Metal.com: Kevin, I'm excited to hear that QUIET RIOT has a brand new studio album coming out, titled "Rehab". Mind telling us a little about the album and what people can expect from it?

Kevin: It's a departure from previous QUIET RIOT albums. The songs are composed differently, and recorded differently. It's similar to our QUIET RIOT albums in two ways: it's got my vocal sound, which is like it or not, distinctive, and Frankie Banali might be only one of maybe five drummers around who's identifiable with his drum sound. You've got John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Cozy Powell, Frankie Banali, and maybe Keith Moon as guys who are distinctive by their drum sounds, besides their playing. Songwriting-wise, we dug into our '70s roots, and some of the guitar texture are more modern sounding. Not modern sounding like you may think, but more bluesy, I think.

Glam-Metal.com: How happy are you with the new release, and is there anything you'd like to say about the new record Frankie?

Frankie: I'm very happy with the fact that it's getting released, and that it's getting released worldwide. Beyond that, I think it's a great record, I think the songs are great, I think it's a very different QUIET RIOT record, but we'll let the listening public decide what they think.

Kevin: It's all about the songs. The big emphasis was on the song writing, and other times for one reason or another, we went in a direction that was applicable to all four people that were playing in the group. On this one, Frankie and I were able to go in whatever direction we wanted to, and not having to cater to any personal style other than what we wanted to do.

Lars sat behind the drums and they played 'Smoke On The Water' just before the encore. It was a great treat! We all know what kind of an impact DEEP PURPLE had in Lars' life. I feel very lucky to witness him playing a DEEP PURPLE song with Ian Gillan. And I think Lars did a great job. Well done, Lars!"

ChAoS MuSiC FoRuM recently conducted an interview with former CYNIC/DEATH and current AEON SPOKE drummer Sean Reinert. A couple of excerpts from the question-and-answer session follow:

Chaos-Forum: You appeared on DEATH's "Human" album. Why did Chuck choose you? Did you know him previously? How was it to work with Chuck and Steve DiGiorgio and Paul Masvidal?

Reinert: "Yes, DEATH's 'Human' was my first 'real' recording date.

"I think Chuck chose me because of the stuff he had heard on the CYNIC demos. We had been friends for a few years at that time. Paul and Chuck had spoken on the phone a lot and we used to make road trips up to Altamonte Springs (where Chuck lived) to watch DEATH rehearse and hang out. I remember taking a bus trip up to Gainesville with my friend Brian Bender to go see DEATH and HELLWITCH play. I was 14 and he was 15. So I had known Chuck for a few years by that time.

"Working with Steve and Paul was great fun. I had obviously been working with Paul in CYNIC so it was fun to work with him in different project.
