UNITED FORCES – Members Of Iconic NYHC/Thrash Outfit Begin New Chapter

Posted in hardcore, hardcore metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on December 28, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

METAL NEWS!

_________________________________________________

Subsequent to the demise of reunited NYC Hardcore/Speed Metal legends Stormtroopers Of Death, two of the four members of the brutal faction have set out to forge a new path of punishment in 2013.

UNITED FORCES unites S.O.D.’s bassist Danny Lilker (Brutal Truth, Nuclear Assault, Nunfuckritual, Lock-Up,ex-Anthrax) and notorious frontman Billy Milano (Method Of Destruction), the longtime cohorts taking their mayhem to new turf. Milano and Lilker recruited two additional henchmen to help carry out their forthcoming disorder, with the thunderous Nick Barker (Lock-Up, Ancient, ex-Cradle of Filth, ex-Dimmu Borgir) on percussive duties, and Anton Reisenegger (Criminal, Pentagram Chile, Extreme Noise Terror, Lock Up) handling guitars. With Lilker located in upstate New York, Milano in central Texas, Barker in England and Reisenegger in Spain, details on the outfit’s plans concerning touring or recording remain unknown, but UNITED FORCES is, without question, a pending force with which to be dealt.

Notes vocalist Billy Milano on the eclectic union of metal soldiers: “I’m not out to reinvent myself at my age. I just want to have a lot of fun with this. We called it UNITED FORCES because we’re located all over the place, in different countries, but this is something we’re going to come together for.” Added four-string assaulter Danny Lilker: “It’s gonna be really fun to get together with some good friends — who are also great musicians — and play some earsplitting, hardcore-tinged thrash metal! And obviously, we know how to do just that.”

At this year’s installment of the Fun Fun Fun fest in Austin, Texas, modern thrash heavyweights Municipal Waste were joined by Lilker and Milano onstage to help unleash the S.O.D. staple “United Forces.”  Check out the carnage HERE.

Future UNITED FORCES plans will be revealed in the coming weeks. Stay tuned

VISION OF DISORDER Brooklyn Headlining Show Now A RED CROSS BENEFIT For Hurricane Sandy Victims

Posted in charities, charity events, hardcore, hardcore metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on November 13, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Today VISION OF DISORDER confirms that all the proceeds from their upcoming headlining concert in Brooklyn later this month will be donated to the Red Cross, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

What was simply a headlining show for the band has now been dubbed “Picking Up Change: Hardcore For Hurricane Relief.” VISION OF DISORDER initiated this act of support to their community after witnessing the catastrophic demolition across the New York metropolitan area and beyond as Sandy surged through our region on October 29th. VOD, as well as the other bands performing at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on November 24th, will contribute donations to the Red Cross to help aid the decimated areas and many displaced local residents throughout the Northeast as the season grows colder.

In a collective statement the members of VOD had this to say: “Our hearts go out to those severely affected by this tragic incident. Being from Long Island, Hurricane Sandy has (quite literally) hit home for us. The music scene in Long Island, The New York metro area and New Jersey have been so supportive to VOD over the years that we felt donating the proceeds from the Brooklyn show was a no-brainer. We are proud to announce that the opening acts (Primitive Weapons, Yuppicide, Swarm of Arrows) have also agreed to donate their proceeds. We hope that this small gesture can add to the ongoing efforts and help rebuild these traumatized areas. We look forward to seeing you all on Nov 24th to support this cause.”

In addition to the funds generated by VISION OF DISORDER, Yuppicide, Primitive Weapons and Swarm of Arrows at “Picking Up Change: Hardcore For Hurricane Relief” going directly to the Red Cross, show attendees are invited to bring supplies – canned/non-perishable food, batteries, toilet paper, etc. – for area shelters and food banks, as donation bins will be posted outside of the venue. Supplies to aid pets and animals displaced by the storm are also acceptable and will be donated to Last Resort Animal Rescue in New Jersey.

The members of VISION OF DISORDER, in an alliance with Candlelight Records, Earsplit PR, Metal Insider, the Music Hall of Williamsburg and all parties involved with this event, are reaching out to all area hardcore and metal fans to join them on November 24th, not only to take part in what is sure to be a high-action live show, but more importantly to help contribute to this imperative objective of getting the displaced families and businesses back on their feet. Doors open at 7:30pm.

NYC-based icons VISION OF DISORDER released The Cursed Remain Cursed – their first album in over a decade –via Candlelight Records in September.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY – Eye For An Eye Reissue Releases On November 6th, via Candlelight Records

Posted in Hard Rock, hardcore, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on October 24, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Candlelight Records confirms November 6 as the North American release date of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s Eye For An Eye. This special reissue has been remastered/packaged and includes the EP Six Songs With Mike Singing. Both titles have been out of print for years. It follows the successful release of the band’s self-titled album earlier this year. A deluxe digibook edition of the album, limited to 1000 for North America, will be available at limited retailers and via Candlelight’s official webstore. The digibook version includes extended liner notes and a rare pictorial gallery.

Twenty-six songs showcase the early sonic years of the North Carolina-based band. Far more punk than their later recordings, the album found an immediate fanbase. Amazon customers over the years have called the album an “undisputed classic,” while noting it is “for the true skaters of the mid-to-late-‘80s,” and “brings me back to a good time of hardcore/punk.”

Guitarist Woody Weatherman comments: “We were just kids when we wrote and recorded these tunes.” Vocalist/bassist Mike Dean notes, “Making that album was our dream and we worked hard to make it happen because it was the vehicle to allow us to go out and play two hundred shows a year, like the bands we looked up to – Black Flag, Bad Brains, D.O.A.”

___________________________________________

Originally released in 1984, Eye for An Eye featured the original lineup of Weatherman, Dean, drummer Reed Mullin, and vocalist Eric Eycke. Reissued to incorporate the 1989 EP by Mike Dean (who left the band between 1987-1992), Eye for An Eye is raw in sound but focused on message. The years that followed would see the band rise to worldwide popularity with breakthrough and Billboard-charting releases Blind and Deliverance.

Formed in Raleigh in 1982, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY quickly transformed heavy music. Politically charged and socially aware, the band has influenced countless others and today remains humble about their accomplishments. With over 1.1 million albums sold in the United States, the band continues to find new fans via nonstop touring.

“We had a lot of fun doing it and it’s great to have this album officially back out there again,” says Weatherman. “I had basically written this off as being our sloppy beginner’s effort but listening to it now, I really hear a few songs that hold up well,” adds Dean.

HATEBREED – SIGN WITH NUCLEAR BLAST FOR EUROPE!

Posted in hardcore, hardcore metal, Metal, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on October 12, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

2012-10-12 – Nuclear Blast is proud to announce the signing of US Hardcore Metal kings, HATEBREED, who have just inked a record deal including all European territories. North America and Canada will be handled by Razor & Tie.

The forthcoming album was co-produced by Hatebreed, Zeuss (SUICIDE SILENCE, ALL THAT REMAINS, SHADOWS FALL) and Josh Wilbur (LAMB OF GOD, AVENGED SEVENFOLD). Wilbur also handled mixing duties on the new record. The new studio album will be supported by extensive global touring that will stretch well into 2014.

Commented singer Jamey Jasta: “We’re really excited to be working with such great people at both Razor & Tie & Nuclear Blast. We’ve made an awesome album and we’re chomping at the bit to get it out and hit the road. Global domination begins now.”

Nuclear Blast A&R Jaap Wagemaker adds: “In the past we had seen HATEBREED play several times live when they were headlining indoor hardcore festivals or when they played one of the many shows at Graspop in Belgium! The band that defined metal / hardcore with their releases Perseverance and The Rise of Brutality will be releasing another milestone in their career by the beginning of 2013!! After seeing HATEBREED turning this years Hellfest upside down in front of 30,000 hardcore and metal fans and doing the same a couple of months later at Bloodstock in the UK, it became very clear that HATEBREED and Nuclear Blast would be the perfect match. Something that became even stronger after we had the chance to listen to a couple of new songs! We are very proud to welcome HATEBREED to the ever-growing Nuclear family!! In 2013 their new album will be out and I can tell you that the fans who have been waiting for this for a couple of years now won’t be disappointed!! HATEBREED is back, stronger than ever!!”

The sixth HATEBREED studio record is set to be released in January 2013.

HATEBREED will also hit the road headlining the notorious PERSISTENCE TOUR which marks the first live run for the upcoming album.

HATEBREED – LONG LIVE HATEBREED! And… BOYCOTT CNN

Posted in hardcore, hardcore metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on August 9, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

HATEBREED – As the world turns, over at CNN, they see the world as they want to. They report the news as they like, regardless of knowing the facts. Truth? Forget about it over at CNN. CNN likes to tell us all how to live, what to eat, how much to eat, where to go and of course… here’s the BIG one… who to vote for. The news giant known as CNN has finally tripped up BIG TIME my Metal brethren. CNN has messed with Hardcore/Metal legends HATEBREED in a very disturbing way. CNN has insulted HATEBREED and it’s sickening.

What CNN has done: their enormous news platform was used to accuse HATEBREED of being a “white power” band in a CNN Opinion piece, which was written by a highly misinformed Lonnie Nasatir. This unethical, immoral and flat-out WRONG “listing” of HATEBREED in a list of white power bands is more than mind-boggling… it’s defamation of character and a law has been broken. No, this isn’t about an innocent situation of a band being mislabeled. That’s a certified falsity right there. Yes, CNN, your news platform was used to slander HATEBREED and that can’t be denied.

Here’s a shocker within this shocking story: Lonnie Nasatir is the Anti-Defamation League’s Chicago/Upper Midwest Director.

Placing HATEBREED on a “list” of white power bands is an outrage! A false label! HATEBREED has been a unifying band for all of us fellow Hardcore, Metalcore and Metal fans, regardless of race, religion or sex. The lyrics of HATEBREED have never divided nor spread hate within our Hardcore and Metal families; if anything, HATEBREED has reached out to all fans through their music, concerts and social networks on a continuous level that is stunningly admirable.

___________________________________

I urge every visitor to Metal Odyssey to boycott CNN and never watch, read or follow their news or programming ever again. CNN and Lonnie Nasatir owe HATEBREED more than a widespread public apology and should be ashamed for their grade school level of journalism.

I write about and communicate with musicians and bands, just about every day of my life. I cannot even comprehend the stupidity level that has taken place here within the CNN world of (laugh) joke journalism. CNN is now: NCNN. What is NCNN you ask? It’s the: NON CREDIBLE NEWS NETWORK.

I predicted within my circles, that a major news network would eventually try to take down Metal Music due to the horrific shooting massacre at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin this past weekend. Connecting this massacre to Heavy Metal white supremacist bands spiraled out-of-control here… and HATEBREED deserves much better than this.

God bless the souls of the shooting victims at the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin. God bless the families and friends of these innocent victims.

METAL. BE. THY. NAME.

XIBALBA – New LP Streaming At Brooklyn Vegan; Tour Begins This Week

Posted in doom metal, hardcore, hardcore metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal albums, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , on August 8, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

As Hasta La Muerte, the second LP from Southern Cali breakdown warriors XIBABLA, nears release, the North American street date now just one week away. In anticipation of the album’s disbursement, and as the unit prepare to embark on tour in support of the mammoth LP later this week, today Brooklyn Vegan is streaming all of Hasta La Muerte. Test the durability of your office furniture by busting out a wicked statgedive in the workplace to the record’s eleven devastating tales.

Taking their down-tuned assault to iniquitous new dimensions, XIBALBA’s breakdowns hit with the force of tsunamis and their riffs like mires of quicksand on Hasta La Muerte, the band’s intense style infusing some of the most Doom-ridden tones one will experience within the Hardcore genre with unstoppable force. Recorded by Taylor Young (of labelmates Nails), and sought out renowned Death Metal artist Dan Seagrave (Dismember, Entombed, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, etc.) to craft the foreboding cover art.

Hasta La Muerte will hit the streets via Southern Lord Records on August 14th in North America, just four days into their month-long North American tour with Alpha & Omega as well as labelmates Power Trip for most of the trek. The action begins at The Power Of The Riff West in Los Angeles this Saturday, August 11th and includes another performance at the first installment of The Power Of The Riff East in Brooklyn on September 1st.

Check out full live sets and more XIBALBA mayhem AT THIS LOCATION.

SEIZURE CRYPT – Psycho NYC Crossover Crew Self-Release New Album

Posted in hardcore, hardcore punk, Heavy Metal, metal music, Music, Punk rock, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , , , on June 12, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Full Album Streaming At Seizure Crypt’s Bandcamp Page!

Queens, NYC-based Crossover commandos SEIZURE CRYPT have recently released their latest full-length, You’ve Been Had!, the band’s fourth self-released full-length since their 2004 inception.

SEIZURE CRYPT‘s D.I.Y. ethos and diehard self-promotion has done them well over the years, the band having played over 100 self-booked shows and having received hundreds of reviews from international media on their own. Their rambunctious live shows always involve costumes, combat and quite a bit of property destruction by the band’s dueling vocalists. The newest addition to the band’s ever-expanding discography, You’ve Been Had! rages with a dozen new tracks in under twenty-six minutes, which attempt to harness their most off-kilter, high-octane brew of Punk, Hardcore, Speed Metal and utter lunacy at its most energetic yet. After posting the album for sale digitally in March of this year, SEIZURE CRYPT have just recently pressed You’ve Been Had! onto CD, once again and as always making it available via their own 316 Productions.

Stream the whole goddamn album at SEIZURE CRYPT’s Bandcamp page RIGHT HERE.

Stay tuned as SEIZURE CRYPT announce their next round of regional gigs throughout the Summer and onward.

You’ve Been Had! Track Listing:

01. Supernatural Intro

02. Bigger Than Politics

03. Spastic Summer

04. One Way

05. Don’t Blink

06. M.I.K.Y. (Medical Industry Killing You)

07. Dark Black and Blue

08. Born And Bred

09. Seizure Crypt vs. The Devil
