DISINTEGRATE – Sign To Massacre Records; New Album Releasing July 2012

Posted in Death Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal with tags , , , , , on March 29, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Hard, melodic and straight to the point!

DISINTEGRATE, hailing from the north of Holland, has a definite preference for well-balanced arrangements and raw, energetic vocal lines, nicely served with a feisty Death Metal-sauce. Every musician in DISINTEGRATE has the freedom to develop his skills and show his musical prowess, thus creating a grooving mixture of aggression and melody.

DISINTEGRATE is the brain child of Danny Boonstra (vocals + keyboards), Leo van Leijen (guitars) and Jos Hindriks (guitars). When they started the band in 2005, a clear statement was defined outlining the structure and content for DISINTEGRATE: intelligent Melodic Death/Thrash Metal with no boundaries.

The band really took flight with the addition of Joran Dijkstra (drums) and Sander Stegeman (bass). By releasing the MCD “Destructive Capacity”, the band received a lot of attention and also played on the prestigious Waldrock festival in 2009 alongside bands like Carcass, Killswitch Engage and Heaven & Hell.

DISINTEGRATE’s new album “Parasites Of A Shifting Future” is going to be released on July 27, 2012!

EXUMER – Premieres “The Weakest Limb” On Noiscreep.com

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags , , , , , on March 28, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Exumer are unveiling the third single from Fire & Damnation on AOL’s Noisecreep.com. The track can be heard now HERE. The Weakest Limb is the latest in a batch of singles to be heard from the album including: Vermin of the Sky on MetalHammer.de and Fire & Damnation on MetalBlade.com. Fire & Damnation will be released worldwide by Metal Blade Records – April 10th in North America and April 6th/10th in Europe/UK.

Exumer have been confirmed to play a series of live shows in South America in May and June, 2012! The trek will take the band through Argentina, Chile and Brazil. Danish thrash masters ARTILLERY are joining them on the whole tour. This is EXUMER’s first appearance in South American in 24 years, where the band last played in Brazil in 1988.

Vocalist Mem V. Stein comments: “We have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time! It’s a huge milestone in our career to return to Brazil after 24 years, where there are numerous online communities that wholeheartedly embrace EXUMER and where our fans have been loyally following us since our first appearances in the 1980s. There could hardly be a more cult tour package, between EXUMER and ARTILLERY, to hit South America and the timing could not be better for us to return there shortly after the release of our new album.”

SKELETONWITCH – New Video Premiere Brought To You By Metal Injection, U.S. Tour Underway, European Tour Dates Announced

Posted in Extreme Metal, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags , , , , , , on March 24, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

U.S. TOUR UNDERWAY, EUROPEAN DATES ANNOUNCED!

Ohio Metal titans SKELETONWITCH unveil their brand new video for “The Infernal Resurrection.” The song comes off latest album, Forever Abomination which cracked the Billboard Top 200, as well as Decibel’s Top 40 of 2011 and finds the band doing what they do best: slaying ears in the live arena. To view the video, head over to THIS LOCATION.

Like Satan himself set loose in the hallowed halls of Heavy Metal, these Athens-based headbangers careen wildly through the music’s history, gleefully destroying and setting flame to every genre along the way, only stopping at the forefront of today’s Metal scene to look back and watch that fucker burn — and then piss on the flames. No other band has tapped into the fire, fury, and frost of all things Metal like SKELETONWITCH.

Released last October through Prosthetic Records, Forever Abomination continues to raise eyebrows with its relentless, fuck-all attack. In an 8/10 rating of the record, Decibel Magazine named SKELETONWITCH, “one of the most likeable bands in Metal,” Terrorizer dubbed Forever Abomination a “masterclass in Modern Metal,” Revolver noted its “bad-ass Thrash attack,” while Pitchfork championed the offering calling it “exciting, skilled, fist-pumping, true-to-life stuff…”

SKELETONWITCH return to the road today beginning with a warm-up show in Cleveland before joining forces with The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile and labelmates Hour Of Penance for a four-week tour that concludes at the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival. This marks the group’s first North American tour action of 2012. The band will take a brief break before heading overseas for a stretch of Euro dates.

SKELETONWITCH – North American Tour To Commence This Week

Posted in death thrash, Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal with tags , , , , , on March 21, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Vinyl Reissues Forthcoming

Ohio headbangers SKELETONWITCH — whose latest album, Forever Abomination, cracked the Billboard Top 200, as well as Decibel’s Top 40 of 2011 — will return to the road this week. After a warm-up show in Cleveland on Friday, the band will join forces with The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile and labelmates Hour Of Penance for a four-week tour that concludes at the New England Metal And Hardcore Festival. This marks the group’s first North American touring action of 2012.

In other SKELETONWITCH news, the final color variant of the forthcoming Breathing The Fire vinyl reissue — which, unlike the sold-out initial pressings of the album, comes in a gatefold Stoughton “tip-on” jacket — has arrived at Prosthetic’s warehouse. Check out a picture of the two-color, half-and-half LP, which is limited to 125 copies at THIS LOCATION.

180-gram black and standard-weight “fire splatter” wax are also available. The former will arrive in select retail stores on April 10; the latter and the half-and-half LP can both be pre-ordered at the PROSTHETIC STORE. LP reissues of the band’s 2007 breakthrough, Beyond The Permafrost — which will also be available in three color variants (“Permafrost splatter,” half-and-half and 180-gram black vinyl) — are still in production, but can also be pre-ordered now at the Prosthetic Store.

Over the last five years, SKELETONWITCH has toured alongside a who’s who of heavy metal, from icons like Danzig, Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Halford, to international titans Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy and Dimmu Borgir, to American powerhouses High On Fire, GWAR and Devildriver. Forever Abomination, the group’s third Prosthetic release, was produced by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Children of Bodom).

MACE – Thrash Metal Pioneers Giving Away For Free, Their First Song In 23 Years!

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal news, metal music, Music, rock music, rock music news, Thrash Metal, thrash metal bands with tags , , , , , , , on February 28, 2012 by Metal Odyssey

Last week the story broke that Seattle Grunge engineer (Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains) Dave Hillis’s first band Mace has reformed. Most of the major Metal mags across the globe have picked up the vibe. Now they want their fans to have the music FOR FREE. (See facebook link at bottom of post).

Dave Hillis started his career as a 17-year-old guitarist for the legendary Thrash Metal band “MACE.”  In the mid 80’s, they released two LP’s on Enigma Records in the US and Blackdragon Records in Europe.  They were featured on Metalblade Records Metal Massacre V,  recognized in the Trashmetal Encyclopedia and fanzine’s around the world as a pioneering force in Heavy Metal. Led by Dave’s furious guitar work they Charted in the UK. and Japan’s top 20; touring with the likes of Slayer, Anthrax, Raven, Death Angel and Testament.

Of course everyone knows Mace guitarist Dave Hillis went on to work on some of the biggest albums in Rock history as a producer. (Pearl Jam “10”, Alice In Chains “Dirt”…etc) but Mace was always in the back of his mind. Hillis told American Rock Scene,  “I always wanted to remix the old songs, and when I opened my own studio I had to do it, and it was so much fun that we thought we would try a new song and that was so much fun that we said why not teach these young kids how it was done back in the day”.

A huge part of the Thrash scene back in the 80’s was the underground tape trading movement. That would help spread the word like wild-fire. Says Hillis when asked how important underground trading was, “We got all our shows on tour and fanzine reviews and interviews that way, giving it away on the internet today is just an extension of that”.

Mace is using the 21st century version of tape trading and is giving away Haarp Strings 2012 to their fans FOR FREE and they are encouraging them to give it away to anyone they want, no strings attached.
