News Update Nov 6th - New Back Label Society - New Napalm Death - New Rage!

Legendary band Napalm Death, are currently giving the final touch to their 14th studio album (excluding the cover album Leaders Not Followers). The new piece of brutality is named Utilitarian and hits stores in the US on February 28th 2012, via the band's long time partner Century Media Records. 

Audio samples of all the tracks from Weightless, the new album from US metallers Animals As Leaders, are available on line so check them out.

Weightless has currently been released in Europe via Prosthetic Records. The album will be released on November 7 in the UK and November 8 in North America.

German metallers Rage have entered the studio to record their 21st studio album. Here's what Rage frontman Peter "Peavy" Wagner had to say about the album: "Finally we entered the studio again to create new songs for our 21st official studio album. We already started the recordings of 10 new works, one title is even "Twenty One", we were also thinking about taking '21' as the album title."

On Tuesday, November 1st, a plane going from New York to Warsaw, Poland, had to make an emergency landing after a technical malfunction prevented the plane from lowering it's landing gear. Miraculously, the plane made it down just fine and there were no casualties. Polish death metallers Decapitated were on the plane. Due to that fact, the band decided to cancel their last 2 upcoming shows.

After announcing a change in vocalists, UK progressive metallers Tesseract entered the studio to record the revamped version of "Eden" featuring the new vocals and a more developed instrumentation. The band then went directly into shooting a music video for the single, which was premiered earlier this week. 


A brand new EP of acoustic, instrumental Christmas classics from guitar icon ZAKK WYLDE and his BLACK LABEL SOCIETY (affectionately dubbed The Doom Crew), entitled Glorious Christmas Songs That Will Make Your Black Label Heart Feel Good, is available now on iTunes via eOne Music The tracklisting: 'I'll Be Home For Christmas' 'Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem' 'It's A Wonderful World'.

Dave Lombardo, legendary drummer of SLAYER, has responded with an early reaction to dozens of early photos of his band in the upcoming photo book, MURDER IN THE FRONT ROW: Shots From The Bay Area Thrash Metal Epicenter. Lombardo says: "Murder In The Front Row captures the true essence of thrash metal in its embryonic stage. These photographs take me on a tour down memory lane, bringing back many laughs, and causing comments like, 'I don't remember that!'" MACHINE HEAD guitarist/vocalist Robb Flynn along with EXODUS' Gary Holt, TESTAMENT's Alex Skolnick, and other Bay Area thrash metallers are contributors to Murder In The Front Row: Shots From The Bay Area Thrash Metal Epicenter. The book will be released December 2011 from Bazillion Points Books.
