PR reports: Two-time Grammy winner, singer-songwriter
and voice of a generation, Chris Cornell, announced today the release date
of his 13th career album, Carry On, in stores May 1st on Suretone/Interscope.
Steered by Grammy Award-winning British super-producer Steve Lillywhite
(U2, Rolling Stones, Morrissey, Dave Matthews Band), Carry On is a mature
and content departure from the acrimonious artist who brought us Soundgarden,
Audioslave and Temple of the Dog.
Additionally Cornell is permanently departing
super-group Audioslave stating, "Due to irresolvable personality conflicts
as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave.
I wish the other three members nothing but the best in all of their future
endeavors."[see full story for more]- Click

Hinders NIN Marketing Plans? |
idolator.com reports: Yesterday, we posted
an MP3 of a new Nine Inch Nails song that we found while doing our daily
elbo.ws lap; after a brusquely worded note from Antipiracy@riaa.com, we
removed the file, and that was that. Or so we thought. Today, we found
a NIN-related Digg link that claimed the song had been "found on a usb
drive in a bathroom in Portugal," which set off our "painstakingly crafted
backstory" alarms. The file we posted yesterday was, in fact, tagged with
that little bit of lore, along with a URL; as it turns out, the linked
site is one of many viral-marketing outposts for the forthcoming NIN record.
Which bolsters our theory that the leak was engineered by someone in the
Reznor camp--after all, the number of alt-rock stations has been steadily
decreasing for a while now, and labels have to be creative about getting
songs that might not get airplay out to the public. [see full story for

Get A Beyonce |
hecklerspray.com reports: Sports Illustrated
- the magazine than nobody actually gives a stuff about except for once
a year when it plonks a girl in a bikini on the cover - has just launched
its 2007 swimsuit edition, and the lucky cover-girl this year is famed
athlete Beyonce.
Beyonce has apparently made history by
appearing in this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because she's
the first woman who isn't a model or an athlete to ever grace the SI swimsuit
edition cover. And snagging Beyonce is certainly something Sports Illustrated
wants to brag about; as Beyonce poses in a yellow and pink bikini the magazine
cover screams 'The Dreamgirl As You've Never Seen Her!' which is certainly
true - unless you've seen the video to Survivor, the Pepsi adverts she
did, any number of paparazzi shots of her in a bikini or haven't spent
the last five years locked away in an entirely sensory deprived environment.

Nazarene Banned |
SMN reports: IMPALED NAZARENEs album Nihil
officially entered Germany´s Index list A on January 17, effectively
implying that the bands album is officially banned in Germany. A note
from the friendly lot is as follows:
"Looking back on 2006 and 2005, being unable
to play concerts in Italy, Austria, France, Poland and Germany, one can
only conclude that Freedom of speech and Freedom of religion, things that
are supposed to be the foundation of the European Union, are not existing.
Your lives are terrorized by deranged catholic sects and glue sniffing
communists. Braindead imbeciles tell you what you should/what you cannot
listen to, read or watch. Happy f**king middle ages part 666 and f**k off.[see

Thrower: Earache is just an "Assache" |
SMN reports: BOLT THROWER were recently interviewed
by Kevin Page over at Metal Review, and piped up regarding their disdain
for the labels they are currently working with. Excerpts from the interview
are below:
Metal Review: Who do you like less these
days, Metal Blade or Earache?
Karl Willets: F**king Earache. On a personal
level we get along pretty well with Metal Blade. Earache is just an Assache
as I call them. Theyve re-released */Realm of Chaos/* with a new sleeve
without our permission and a compilation album */Who Dares Wins/* without
our permission. They are not liked by us and have no respect from me.[see
