“Sunday was an insane day!

I’m on the road with Sebastian Bach. We are in South America playing the support slot on theGuns N’ Roses tour. Had a great show on Saturday night in São Paulo, Brazil, got a few hours of sleep, and then jumped on a plane to Rio de Janeiro on a nice sunny afternoon.

When we landed at the Rio airport we were shuttled straight to soundcheck for the Sunday night show at the Praça da Apoteose. A huge stadium!  Upon our arrival, we were told that during the night the driver of the truck carrying the Sebastian Bach band equipment had an accident while traveling through the mountainous roads. The truck crashed and its metal framing was peeled wide open thus leaving our equipment scattered all over the area. Another truck was then sent to pick up the gear but we had no idea about any damages to the equipment inside – and there was no guarantee that all the items would be accounted for. Most of the larger items were rental gear (drums, amps, cabinets, etc.) but also in the truck were our personal items (guitars, pedal boards, cymbals, etc.).

When the truck arrived at the venue, we anxiously watched as it was being unloaded. There were plenty sighs of relief when most of our personal pieces came out unscathed but there was also some cases damaged and a couple very important pieces lost, too. One very cool thing: Even before our equipment started to come out, the GN’R crew and band members quickly stepped up and told us that they would get us anything we needed to perform if any of our stuff was damaged or missing. For me, all was good except for one of the (rental) kick drums. It was completely trashed and in 4 pieces!

So I went back to the dressing room, ate some lunch, and got my video camera to take some footage of the mangled kick drum. Then it started to rain, and as they say, when it rains it pours (see video footage below) – literally!  As the winds picked up, pieces of the stage started to come down and crash to the ground right in front of our eyes!  Never seen anything like it!  Good thing the crowd had not been allowed in yet or things could’ve turned tragic.  Needless to say, there was no show in Rio after that.

Be safe out there, y’all………….”

As mentioned a few days back, finally the new EX DEO video for “The Final War (Battle Of Actium)” is now released! Check it bellow:

Anglo-Chilean thrash masters CRIMINAL have just released a new music video for the song Incubus. The clip was directed and edited by renowned Chilean visual artist Carlos Toro, who has already worked with KREATOR, VADER, LACRIMOSA and MERCENARY, among others.

After debuting on Century Media Records in 2006 with the critically acclaimed ‘Death To Tyrants’ album and celebrating their 20th anniversary in the same year, SICK OF IT ALL certainly deserve being labelled a “living legend”, and still prove that classic New York hardcore is alive and kicking! With a career spanning 20 years and hundreds of thousands of albums sold worldwide, the band’s highly anticipated new album ‘Based On A True Story’ will add an exhilarating new chapter to the SICK OF IT ALL legend.

The new album was recorded with Tue Madsen, this time at Starstruck Studios in Copenhagen in Copenhagen, Denmark, resulting in a massive metallic heaviness which increases the punch and drive of the new opus. Craig Ahead (bass) comments: “The end result of our three and a half weeks in the studio is something that we are all very proud of. An album that is pure SICK OF IT ALL and will stand up against any of our previous work and I believe raises the bar to a new standard. I hope you enjoy our offerings. We look forward to its release so we can again stomp the world. See you on tour!“ To walk the talk, the band plays a European tour with Dropkick Murphys in January/February 2010, followed by a UK run with AFI in April. More festival shows and touring activities are in the works.

‘Based On A True Story’ is another sonic statement that SICK OF IT ALL are an institution of hardcore. Their longevity and conviction has kept the band’s reputation untarnished and legendary. As Metal Hammer (UK) puts it: “SICK OF IT ALL – despite their ever-increasing age and fierce competition – are still the finest spokesmen for hardcore’s social conscience and values”, and this new release will allow them to maintain this leading position for many years to come!

The new video was directed by longtime WARRIOR SOUL film director ADAM DUBIN who has previously directed two classic music videos for the band, “Downtown” and “The Wasteland.”

Kory Clarke stated “It was great working with the Dub again. It’s like going back to the scene of the crime!”

WARRIOR SOUL’s first show on their latest Euro tour will be in March 25 in Hamburg. The tour will take the band across Germany, The Netherlands and U.K. in support of their European CD release “Destroy The War Machine“.

Janne Jarvis previously stated about “Destroy The War Machine“: “”Destroy The War Machine” has everything a WARRIOR SOUL fan should expect from WARRIOR SOUL record. It has an ear for an argument, puke on its shoes and remains untouched by trends or the long-arm of the corporations.”

Violence and chaos broke out around Bogota’s Simon Bolivar park Wednesday night, when hundreds of frenzied fans tried to crash heavy metal band Metallica’s first Colombian concert in eleven years.

Bogota’s Regulatory Center of Emergency Services reported that four policemen and four civilians were hospitalized throughout the evening for cuts, lesions to the head and one fractured leg. One youth was stabbed with knife in the hand.

130 people were arrested and property was vandalized and destroyed, as ticketless fans tried to storm the venue in order to catch a glimpse of their rock-god idols.

Radio Santa Fe reported that prior to the concert, there were posts on social networking site Facebook inciting fans to crash the Metallica concert.

Estimates of audience numbers by Colombian media sources oscillate wildly between 20,000 and 70,000.

Authorities implemented security measures as heavy as the band’s music, with some 1,500 police employed to stand guard during the event, as well as four tanks and several police trucks.

There were no reports in the Colombian media that the tanks had been deployed.

The Metallica riots are reminiscent of those that rocked Bogota during a concert by British heavy metal group Iron Maiden in March 2009.

Straight from EXODUS Official MySpace. Follow the link to listen to the new song! http://www.myspace.com/exodus

EXODUS have uploaded “Hammer And Life,” a new track off their upcoming May 18th release, Exhibit B: The Human Condition, onto their MySpace player.

Guitarist/songwriter Gary Holt shares the background on the new song:

“We decided to put up an early rough mix of ‘Hammer And Life’ to give everybody a little taste of the new record.  The really fast songs you’ll get soon enough!  This song is inspired by the one and only [original vocalist] Paul Baloff, our ode to him.  Paul was always the hammer in EXODUS and he lived for metal more than anyone I’ve ever known. R.I.P.”

The track listing for the band’s ninth studio album is as follows:

01. ‘The Ballad Of Leonard And Charles’
02. ‘Beyond The Pale’
03. ‘Hammer And Life’
04. ‘Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)’
05. ‘Downfall’
06. ‘March Of The Sycophants’
07. ‘Nanking’
08. ‘Burn, Hollywood, Burn’
09. ‘Democide’
10. ‘The Sun Is My Destroyer’
11. ‘A Perpetual State Of Indifference’
12. ‘Good Riddance’

Nuclear Blast USA’s Webshop will be issuing an exclusive mail-order edition of the album featuring a slipcase with different artwork (to be unveiled soon) plus the North American bonus track “Devil’s Teeth.”

In a recent interview with Canoe.ca, Holt stated, “A lot of people will ask me things like, ‘EXODUS is achieving a lot of popularity again, do you think it’s due to thrash metal coming back?’ And I say, ‘No. I think thrash metal’s coming back because of EXODUS.’”

Exhibit B: The Human Condition was recorded this past December in Northern California with producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Kreator).

MEAT LOAF - "Hang Cool Teddy Bear"

“Hang Cool Teddy Bear” is the name for MEAT LOAF’S new album who gathered quite a team of guests to this new release. Names goes from STEVE VAI and BRIAN MAY, up to HUGH LAURIE (yup Dr. House).

“I wanted it big, I wanted it dramatic, I wanted a rock record,” he says. “Yes, it sounds like a Meat Loaf record. But it sounds different too: it sounds new, it sounds fresh. It speaks to you in a different way.”

“Hang Cool Teddy Bear”, Meat Loaf’s was produced by Rob Cavallo (GREEN DAY, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE,  PARAMORE,  FLEETWOOD MAC), a lifelong MEAT LOAF fan who has worked with some of the most explosive names in rock music and who helped to foster a modern and contemporary vibe for the album. Of their relationship, Meat Loaf said, “Rob is the number one rock producer in the world because he leaves his ego out of the equation and gives an artist his voice, making it sound better than the artist could even imagine.”

“It’s the story of a soldier,” revealed Meat Loaf. “He’s been in battle and he’s lying face down on the ground. He can’t move, but he turns his head and starts to see blood run across the ground, and so he thinks he’s going to die. They always say you see your life flash backward when you’re about to die. But his life flashes forward — into what possibly could happen. He sees what his life could be: the good and the bad. The songs are the different scenarios he finds himself in. It’s not always the same time or the same place, but it’s always the same woman. But I don’t want to give too much away. I want people to work it out for themselves.”

“Hang Cool Teddy Bear” features a stellar array of big-name guests, including Steve Vai (who appears on “Love is Not Real”), QUEEN guitarist Brian May (who appears on “Song of Madness” and “Love is Not Real”), “American Idol” judge Kara DioGuardi (who co-wrote and sings on “If I Can’t Have You”) and Hollywood star Jack Black, who duets with Meat Loaf on “Like a Rose”. Additionally, English actor Hugh Laurie of TV’s “House” fame has a cameo on the album, playing piano on “If I Can’t Have You”. The pair met after Meat Loaf guested on Laurie’s hit series and discovered the star was a classically trained pianist.

For “Hang Cool Teddy Bear”, the singer enlisted elite musicians, including THE DARKNESS frontman Justin Hawkins, who co-wrote two songs for the album, guitarists Tim Pierce, Paul Crook and Randy Flowers, legendary bass players Chris Chaney and Kasim Sulton, genius keyboardist Jamie Mulhoberac and one of the world’s greatest rock drummers, John Micelli.

“Hang Cool Teddy Bear” is due out May 11 in the U.S.

Straight from KATAKLISM Official MySpace @  http://www.myspace.com/kataklysm

Canadian extreme metallers KATAKLYSM have completed the song writing process for their new album entitled Heaven’s Venom! Currently the album is tentatively scheduled for a Fall of 2010 release via Nuclear Blast!

Vocalist Maurizio Iacono commented:
“It’s done after two years of hard work! We really made sure we had every element covered, going over all the riffs and arrangements hundreds of times to make it the best it could be. Our fans have given us so much over the years and it was time for us, without any label pressure or time limit, to give back with the album they have been waiting for. We think we’ve accomplished something special, but we are not going to say this is the heaviest or best KATAKLYSM and all that stuff. The fans will decide that. I just know the mission is accomplished when all of us have big cheesy smiles on our faces!

We’re going to take a little break now and hit the road with KREATOR, which should be a lot of fun! Come party with us and hang out. As soon as we are back we will give the album one last check up and then start recording this beast. Should be warped up and mixed by this summer. Next year it will be the bands 20th anniversary so you can bet that we will deliver the goods. We promise! Lots of cool surprises ahead. See ya!”

Some tentative song titles appearing on the album include “Soul Made of Shrapnel,” “Blind Savior,” “Hail the Renegade” and “Push the Venom.”

Heaven’s Venom will be KATAKLYSM’s follow up to their 2008 release, Prevail. Guitarist J-F Dagenais (MALEVOLENT CREATION, MISERY INDEX) will once again handle the recording process, while Tue Madsen (THE HAUNTED, SUICIDE SILENCE, WINDS OF PLAGUE, DARK TRANQUILITY) will handle mixing duties this time around.
