BW&BK reports: Although ARCH ENEMY's new
album, Rise Of The Tyrant, won't be released until September 25th, the
band has already set their sights on returning to the studio. Guitarist
Michael Amott spoke exclusively to BW&BK scribe Aaron Small and provided
the following update:
"What we'd actually like to do is what
TESTAMENT did with First Strike Still Deadly, where they re-recorded some
of their older stuff. We had three albums (Black Earth, Stigmata, Burning
Bridges) without Angela (Gossow, with Johan Liiva on vocals). It'd be cool
to re-record some of those great songs and make a compilation.-

PR reports: Critically-acclaimed music sensation
and Explicit Records artist Jessica Vale is preparing to release her new
album nationwide on October 16th titled Brand New Disease. The title track
single from this already talked about album will be released to radio in
America on August 28th.
Influenced by the urban chaos that makes
New York what it is, Vale's industrial-goth inflected sound captures the
essence of the city. Vale states, "The base sound level in New York is
significantly higher than anywhere else in the world, 90 decibels to be
exact, so it takes much more intense music to feel like one of making a
statement."- more

PR reports: Massachusetts metal phenomenon
Unearth will be hitting the road in the US for the first time since their
run of dates with Dimmu Borgir back in April/May of this year. Joining
Unearth on tour will be Victory Records' Darkest Hour (Washington DC),
Solid State's August Burns Red (Pennsylvania), and Century Media's Suicide
Silence (California). This monstrous tour will hit the road on September
27th for a four-week North American tour with stops in Canada.
Here's what vocalist Trevor Phipps has
to say about the upcoming tour: "This fall we are giving back to the people
by scaling down the venue sizes and cutting the ticket and merch prices
for our last tour before we go back into writing mode for the next album.
Darkest Hour, August Burns Red and Suicide Silence will join us to make
this last North American run f**king killer. This tour will be a back to
our roots, smaller stages, just us and the crowd experience
nothing but
mayhem and a good time for all. See you on the road."-

PR reports: The often imitated yet never duplicated
Detroit deathsters The Black Dahlia Murder have returned to the public
eye to reclaim their rightful throne as leaders of all things extreme with
their third blackened opus of thrashing melodic death metal, Nocturnal.
"I don't think the pretenders will be able to match this one," proclaims
vocalist Trevor Strnad of their scorching new offering, "It's f**king over
the top. Brian (Eschbach; guitarist/songwriter) has really outdone himself
this time. The kid eats lightning and sh*ts chains."
Recorded at Trax East with Eric Rachel
and mixed by Jason Seucof at Audiohammer, the band's third full length
Metal Blade release, Nocturnal, is chock full of flesh searing riffage,
mind-bending guitar solos by fret-freak John Kempainen, and the disgustingly
poetic gore soaked lyricism that legions of the band's manically adoring
fans have been hungering for. "From the songs, to the artwork, to the sound
quality itself, we could not be more pleased with the results" states vocalist
Trevor Strnad. Be sure to catch the band live on the Metal Blade 25th Anniversary
tour where they will be unleashing some new material off of Nocturnal.-
