In October, UFOMAMMUT proudly released XV, through the band’s own Supernatural Cat label with support from Neurot, a DVD documenting their intense first fifteen years together.

The DVD features Magickal Mastery Live, a twelve-song live act, as well as interviews, outtakes, and extras, captured over the past decade and a half.

A mini-documentary sampled from XV is playing at THIS LOCATION, and a video of “Zerosette” from the band’s Godlike Snake debut is playing RIGHT HERE. Orders for the XV DVD can be placed in the US HERE and internationally HERE, and the digital audio version of Magickal Mastery Live only can be ordered HERE.

Additional info on the upcoming album will be released in the coming weeks as UFOMAMMUT prepares to return to North America for their first major tour of the continent in 2015, including a performance at Maryland Deathfest 2015.

ACID KING – TO RELEASE “MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, CENTER OF EVERYWHERE” ON APRIL 14th

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2014 – Acid King, pioneers of the San Francisco Doom scene and one of the genre’s first bands to be helmed by a woman, return from their self-imposed 10-year recording hiatus on April 14 with the release of Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere.

“We had several songs in the works over the years that we spent most of our time touring Europe but in between working our day jobs, we didn’t put the effort into recording,” explained singer/guitar player Lori S. “I really wanted to accelerate the process and get new music out. It’s time. This music that we’ve been playing for so long, that was initially obscure and underground, seemed to grow over these past 10 years and the timing was right to release this now!”

Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere was recorded at both Sharkbite and Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, mixed at Different Fur Studios and produced by Acid King and Billy Anderson. The digital release will be released independently via Acid King while physical copies, both CD and vinyl, will be available via Svart Records.

Acid King bubbled up from San Francisco in 1993 through a fog of revved up riffs, thunderous drums, and a hypnotic vocal howl. They unleashed three EPs and three full-length albums, starting with Zoroaster in 1995, the 1999 full-length Busse Woods, and their most recent release, Acid King III, coming in 2005. Their seismic chemistry transfixed audiences everywhere from high-profile festivals such as Hellfest and Roadburn to now iconic shows alongside peers such as Sleep and Mystick Krewe of Clearlight.

The band recently confirmed their participation in Desertfest, April 24 to 26 in the UK. North American tour dates will be announced soon.

On This Day In METAL History – December 29th… From Jimi Hendrix To DIO

Posted in classic rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags classic rock, metal history, metal odyssey, rock history, this day in metal on December 29, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

On December 29th, 1966 – On the BBC’s Top Of The Pops, The Jimi Hendrix Experience made their television debut performing Hey Joe. As with many artists that appeared on Top Of The Pops, songs were mimed to achieve a higher transmission of quality sound and The Jimi Hendrix Experience were no exception to the mime.

On this day in 1973 – The Who reach #76 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in the USA with Love Reign o’er Me. This song is featured on The Who’s sixth studio album and Rock Opera: Quadrophenia. This classic song was written by The Who’s guitarist Pete Townshend.

On December 29th, 1973 – Led Zeppelin reaches #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart in the USA with their hit: D’yer Mak’er. This song is featured on Led Zeppelin’s fifth studio album, released in 1973 on Atlantic Records: Houses Of The Holy.

On this day in KISSTORY, December 29th, 1982: KISS began a tour in support of their tenth (heavy hittin’) studio album: Creatures of the Night. This tour embarked at the Bismarck Civic Center in Bismarck, North Dakota. This was the first KISS tour with guitarist Vinnie Vincent, who replaced the great Ace Frehley. This would be the last tour with KISS in makeup, until their 1996 reunion tour.

On this day in 1984 – Aerosmith performed at the New Haven Coliseum, in New Haven, Connecticut. Whoa!

On December 29th, 1987 – DIO, Megadeth and Savatage performed at the New Haven Coliseum, in New Haven, Connecticut. This was the DIO Dream Evil tour! I was very fortunate to have been there that night and witness three incredibly legendary Metal bands!

DIO‘s memorable Dream Evil studio album was released in 1987. Megadeth were touring in-between two tremendous studio albums: Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying? (1986) and So Far, So Good… So What! (1988). Savatage were touring in support of their incredibly grand and fourth full-length studio album: Hall Of The Mountain King.

Best Metal Buddy Scott Coverdale and Metal Buddy Rob were with me too, for this night of Metal madness; a night of Metal I shall never forget! Metal be thy name!

INTERNAL SUFFERING – Long-Running Brutal Death Metal Behemoths Ink New Deal With Unique Leader Records

Posted in Metal, metal music, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags Death Metal, internal suffering, Metal News, metal odyssey on December 29, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Unique Leader Records is very pleased to announce the re-signing of long-running brutal Death Metal behemoths, INTERNAL SUFFERING.

Comments the band in a collective statement: “We are stoked to announce that we have resigned with Unique Leader! We are all very proud to be again a part of a label that has released some of the finest extreme death metal albums in history from bands such as Deeds Of Flesh, Decrepit Birth, Disgorge, Pyrexia, Internal Bleeding, Disavowed, Hour Of Penance, Aeon, Beheaded, Psycroptic and Spawn Of Possession, just to name a few. This is the beginning of a new chapter for us. We would like to thank Erik Lindmark and all the staff at Unique Leader for welcoming us back into their incredible roster. Few other labels can touch their legacy when it comes to high quality brutal death metal. We’ll be starting the recording sessions this Winter. We look forward to previously undreamed-of levels of brutality, speed and intensity with this new record. Stay tuned for more details!”

Spawned in 1996, INTERNAL SUFFERING recently relocated from their home base in Pereira, Columbia to Madrid, Spain. Notorious for their apocalyptic brand of brutal, blasting, technically proficient death metal, the band’s bestial discography includes four full-lengths: 2000’s Supreme Knowledge Domain (Repulse Records), 2002’s Chaotic Matrix (Displeased Records), 2004’s Choronzonic Force Domination (Displeased Records) and 2006’s Awakening of the Rebel (Unique Leader Records), the last two of which featured the production prowess of extreme metal sound-wizard Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal/ex-Morbid Angel).

A maniacal work ethic and thirst to spread their audio peril globally has allowed INTERNAL SUFFERING the opportunity to ransack stages throughout the US, Europe and Asia along the iconic likes of Cannibal Corpse, Sodom, Incantation, Exodus and Origin, among many more. The band has also graced the bills of some of the most important extreme metal festivals in the world including the Maryland Deathfest, Extreme Fest, Neurotic Death Fest, Barroselas Metal Fest, Tokyo Death Fest, Bangkok Deathfest, Fuck The Commerce Fest, Obscene Extreme Festival and Kaltenbach Open Air Fest as well as an appearance last year at the massive Rock At The Park. Among the most populated open air fests in Latin America, Rock At The Park draws over 100,000 headbangers annually!

INTERNAL SUFFERING will release their long-awaited fifth studio album via Unique Leader Records in 2015. Details to be unveiled in due time.

Mastered by R3myboy (Gojira, Ez3kiel…), Noise in the Church consists of two tracks recorded live in July 2014, in a deconsecrated church. The performance was filmed by Attic Addict. The live tracks – Salvation, off the band’s upcoming debut full-length, Blackened Vision, and The Dreamcatcher, from their 2013 debut Hand of Glory – make Noise in the Church the perfect missing link between what was and what will be.

COBURN PHARR To Join ANNIHILATOR On Board 70000TONS OF METAL 2015!

Posted in cruises, Metal, metal music, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags 70000tons of metal cruise, cruises, Metal News, metal odyssey on December 28, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

70000TONS OF METAL is proud to announce that ANNIHILATOR mastermind Jeff Waters has invited ex-vocalist COBURN PHARR to feature in their performances when The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise sails to Jamaica in January 2015. Pharr was lead vocalist on ANNIHILATOR’s critically acclaimed and best-selling 1990 release “Never, Neverland” which includes classics such as “Road To Ruin”, “I Am In Command”, “Reduced To Ash” and “Phantasmagoria”.

Waters comments: “Seeing as how it is the 25th Anniversary of my favorite ANNIHILATOR album, I thought it would be a lot of fun to invite Coburn with us to perform some of the songs he was a part of. I haven’t seen him since 1992 so I think the fans are going to spot us having lots of conversations about the old days (and my 80’s hair style)! Current ANNIHILATOR vocalist Dave Padden is very much looking forward to this as he is a huge fan of that album and Coburn, but also because he won’t have to play and sing those songs hahaha…!”

Jeff Waters will also be hosting JAMMING WITH WATERS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS All-Star Jam which will feature members from the 60 bands on board 70000TONS OF METAL 2015, which includes ARCH ENEMY, APOCALYPTICA, BEHEMOTH, BLIND GUARDIAN, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DESTRUCTION, MICHAEL SCHENKER’S TEMPLE OF ROCK, NAPALM DEATH, THERION, VENOM and many more!

70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, will sail Thursday, January 22, 2015 on board the Royal Caribbean “Liberty Of The Seas” from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, FL to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and will not return to the real world until Monday, January 26, 2015.

Ticket prices start at USD $666 Per Person (plus Taxes & Fees), which includes all on-board entertainment, non-alcoholic and non-carbonated beverages, most on-board restaurants and even 24 room service!

Israeli Thrashers SHREDHEAD To Release “Death Is Righteous” Via Mighty Music On January 12th

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags metal albums 2015, Metal News, metal odyssey, shredhead, Thrash Metal on December 27, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Israeli Thrashers SHREDHEAD are set to release Death is Righteous on January 12, 2015, via Mighty Music. Mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Suicide Silence, The Haunted, Aborted, Sick of It All), the new album redefines SHREDHEAD’s musical style, making it more mature, more melodic, more groovy, and much heavier than anything they’ve done. Throughout 41 intense minutes the band blasts away with brute force. Ranging from songs that are aggressive and fast to laid back and groovy, the music is enhanced by lyrics that hit close to home.

The name of the album describes the concept, which is that death comes to us all in the end, just as it should. These 11 tracks map the way to self-destruction, in all of its aspects and forms in a life that needs to end. On Death is Righteous the now Berlin-based group brings what’s true and honest with a relentless energy that resonates from the first note to the last word.

Check out the official lyric video for the title track:

Death Is Righteous – Track List:

Devil’s Race
LPBZ
The Lie
Last Words are Lost
Death is Righteous
Hallucinations
Walk with the Dead
Can’t be Left Alive
Witness Hell
I Hate Myself
I Am

Dubai Extreme Metallers Voice of the Soul – Announce Debut Album Release

Posted in Metal, metal music, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags dubai metal bands, metal albums 2015, Metal News, metal odyssey, voice of the soul on December 26, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Dubai Extreme Metallers Voice of the Soul have today announced the release of their debut album which will be entitled Catacombs. The album will be released via UK label Hell’s Hammer & India’s Transcending Obscurity on March 27th, 2015.

First formed in Kuwait on the opposite side of the Persian Gulf in late 2007, 17 year-old Kareem Chehayeb and 16 year-old Monish Shringi released their first EP, ‘Winds of Apprehension’ in July 2009 with second EP, ‘Eyes of Deceit’ seeking the light of day the following summer. After playing several shows in Dubai since January 2011, the band opted to relocate to the most popular city and emirate in the UAE before releasing their third EP, ‘Into Oblivion’, live on SOS Heavy Metal Radio in Portugal in August 2011. ‘Into Oblivion’ was undoubtedly the bands most successful record with songs receiving regular airplay across the globe.

During April 2014, the band made home at Haven Studio with producer Hadi Sarieddine in Dubai and recorded their debut full-length album ‘Catacombs’.

Kareem Chehayeb comments: “While the band started off as a straight up Melodic Death Metal band, ‘Catacombs’ took on a different shift. The thrash has virtually disappeared from our sound on this album and riffs have some added ‘colour’ now which was inspired by bands like Opeth, Gojira, Daylight Dies, and various jazz bands that really inspired me to start writing metal again. ‘Catacombs’ also introduces occasional clean vocals, as well as more doom metal on some tracks.”

The artwork (as seen above) was designed by Syrian Dubai-based artist Hamood Hallak of MHD Graphics, and was inspired by the concept of one of the tracks from the album called ‘Pendulum’.

Kareem elaborates: “While it appears evident that there is a priest/figure leading sheep, the cliff that they are about to walk off is within the temple itself. We don’t specify whether it’s religious or not, because religion isn’t the sole focus. It’s political, it’s social.”

‘Catacombs’ Track Listing:

1) Desolation

2) Perpetual De…

3) Pendulum

4) Quarantine

5) Cold Rupture

6) The Mist

7) Perdition

8) Defiled

9) Images Subside

On This Day In METAL History – December 26th…

On December 26th, 1967 – The Doors and Chuck Berry began a three night stand at The Fillmore Scene At Winterland, in San Francisco, California. The (late) Bill Graham was the concert promoter. The artist for above concert flyer was Bonnie MacLean. Legends, all.

On this day in 1981 – AC/DC reaches #1 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart with For Those About To Rock We Salute You. Produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange, this album was the first #1 for AC/DC. I love this album and my favorite songs on it are: Let’s Get It Up, C.O.D., Evil Walks, Put The Finger On You and Inject The Venom. Whoa!

On this day in KISSTORY – December 26, 1983: KISS opened the United States leg of their “Lick It Up” Tour, at The Omni in Atlanta, Georgia. Lick It Up was the 11th studio album released by the mighty KISS, back in 1983 and first album cover to show KISS without their makeup. Holy moly!

On December 26th, 1987 – Def Leppard hits #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart with Animal. This song is featured in Def Leppard’s fourth studio album from 1987: Hysteria. Boasting seven hit songs, Hysteria reached #1 in both the UK and United States. Holy mackerel!

THE CRINN – Release New Track From Forthcoming Album “Shadowbreather”

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, rock music, rock music news with tags metal albums 2015, Metal News, metal odyssey, the crinn on December 26, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Minnesota’s Experimental Metal extremists, THE CRINN, have released a third track on Xmas day from their forthcoming album, Shadowbreather!! The Artwork for the forthcoming album has been slightly revamped to coincide with the new track launching this week, and also to wish all their fans a very Merry Crinnmas!

Over the last two months, THE CRINN have reinstated their presence on the web and social media, releasing 2 new tracks back to back, kicking things off with a very DIY release of ‘Silent Betrayer’ and immediately following that up with ‘Endless,’ which premiered via No Clean Singing. Both tracks are now streaming via THE CRINN‘s Bandcamp page, as well as their Official YouTube Channel.

Stay tuned to THE CRINN‘s Facebook page for more details and the link to the new track, which will go live on Xmas day.

Shadowbreather was recorded at Signaturetone Recording with producer/engineer Adam Tucker. An official release date has not yet been set.

2014 marks a decade of existence for THE CRINN, having formed during August of 2004 in St. Paul, MN. From its inception, the band decided to use an explorative writing style, without concern for genre exclusivity due to their frustration with the average and mundane, breakdown oriented metal scene. Their mixture of technical riffs, off-time grooves and jarring transitions has led to the band being labeled as mathcore, techmetal, techgrind, jazzmetal and even noodlegrind. Fans of THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and PSYOPUS owe it to themselves to give THE CRINN a listen!

Since the 2013 release of their debut LP, Manifest Decimation, on Southern Lord, Texas maniacs, POWER TRIP, have toured incessantly, bringing their hyperactive brew of modernized-but-old-school thermonuclear crossover to ragers across multiple continents. The ongoing attack will continue into 2015, as the band has just announced a new bash of US tour dates in February and March, with their performance at Florida’s FYA Fest still confirmed before the year comes to a close.

First up, closing their crushing 2014 tour schedule down, POWER TRIP will bring their mayhem to the Fern Park, Florida-based FYA Fest, joining a bruising roster of hardcore acts including Down To Nothing, Incendiary, Code Orange, Cold World, Bitter End, Mammoth Grinder, Discourse, Homewrecker and tons of others on December 27th and 28th. From February 23rd through 25th, they’ll raid three Texan towns: Houston, Austin and San Antonio, alongside S.H.I.T..

On March 3rd, POWER TRIP gets underway with a three-week run through the Midwest and West Coast states, set to conclude at South By So What?! 2015 Festival in Grand Prairie, Texas, on select dates joining Build And Destroy, Title Fight and Merchandise. But as always with these road animals, more dates will undoubtedly be announced in the coming weeks.

Posted in Music, music festivals, music news with tags metal odyssey, music festivals, music festivals 2015, rock music festivals on December 20, 2014 by Metal Odyssey

Reveals a Selection of Musical Performers….More to Be Announced Soon

Festival Confirmed for Spring Break weekend- March 7 & 8

***Early Bird discounts extended through January 2015***

_________________________

Tampa, Forida: The Gasparilla Music Festival presented by SYKES (“GMF”), which kicks off the highly anticipated spring break and outdoor music festival season, has revealed its first round of musical performers. With more artists to be announced shortly, the growing line-up includes Gogol Bordello, Gaslight Anthem, Trampled by Turtles, The Budos Band, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Dumpstaphunk, Hiss Golden Messenger, Roadkill Ghost Choir, Hot 8 Brass Band, Margo & the Pricetags, and Packway Handle Band. Local favorites include The Hip Abduction, Miggs Band, Selwyn Birchwood, Thomas Wynn & the Believers, RedFeather and Mt. Zion Baptist Gospel Choir.

Now in its fourth year, the festival promises its most eclectic and impressive musical line-up to date and will be announcing other top acts and local favorites in the upcoming weeks. In addition, the festival has announced that Early Bird discounted ticket pricing will continue until the full lineup is announced in January. GMF takes place March 7-8 in Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park and Kiley Garden.

Past performers at GMF have included The Flaming Lips, Trombone Shortly, Jason Isbell, RJD2, Ra Ra Riot, Rebirth Brass Band, Deer Tick, Best Coast, Dawes, and Ozomatli among many others.

In keeping with the Festival’s theme of bringing together a massively wide range of genres – from Brazilian Gypsies to Brookly Funkmasters, country folk duos to Orlando Swamp Rock, Brass Bands to Church Choirs – GMF continues to offer something for every musical palate.

A sampling of the caliber and diversity included in this preliminary announcement includes: Selwyn Birchwood was the winner of the 2013 Blues Foundation International Blues Challenge; Roadkill Ghost Choir has garnered rave reviews from the tastemakers at SPIN, Rolling Stone and Relix; Gogol Bordello has scored several early TV appearances with Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and Letterman; Packway Handle Band has been voted Athens’ Best Bluegrass Band three years running in the readers’ choice Flagpole Magazine Music Awards; festival favorites Trampled by Turtles have graded stages at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Coachella and Stagecoach; Daptones artist The Budos Band have made fans worldwide with their infectious instrumental AfroSoul music including appearances on NPR; Hiss Golden Messenger debuted on The Late Show with David Letterman just a few weeks ago; and Nashville’s Margo & the Pricetags, whose voice and songwriting has been compared to that of Loretta Lynn’s, was featured in Rolling Stone’s “10 New Artists You Need to Know for Fall 2014”. More information on all of these GMF performers can be found at: http://gasparillamusic.com

The four performance stages are centered in the cultural playground of downtown Tampa between the Tampa Museum of Art and the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts. This grand venue is just across the river from the historical Henry Plant Hotel along the city’s scenic Riverwalk. There is not a more picturesque and unique location for a music festival.

GMF takes place amidst the several months long legendary Gasparilla celebrations that make Tampa a top destination for revelers of all ages.

Part of the Gasparilla Music Festival’s mission is to support and promote music and education. The organization is involved throughout the year in several initiatives including their “Recycled Tunes” program which collects used musical instruments to refurbish and donate to local schools and their continued efforts to provide scholarships to local music students.

GMF also supplies financial and mentoring assistance to other non-profits and rallies to promote transportation alternatives. The festival aims to not only entertain but to engage the shared, powerful experience of live music to help sustain, inspire and encourage a stronger sense of community.

The Gasparilla Music Festival takes place March 7 & 8, 2015.

TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE NOW AT:
