News from the HOLY MOSES camp!
Hello metalheads!

of the Absurd featured HOLY MOSES vocalist

Germany's
FALL OF
SERENITY are
ready to rumble! The new album is done and it got a name: ''The
Crossfire''.
Singer John Gahlert on the new album:
"We
have worked hard to have these new circumstances within the band.
There's a new spirit we feel, pushing us forward into a slightly
different and thrilling destination. The Crossfire is our statement
against musical boundaries and bigotry. Working with Dan Swanö (hail
to the king!) was another new piece in the puzzle and it perfectly
fits to the aura of our sound. After Leif Jensen (Dew-Scented)
appeared on the last album Bloodred Salvation, we forced female
metal icon Sabina Classen (Holy Moses, Temple Of The Absurd ) to be
part of the new record...with fantastic result, she has a great and
authentic voice. We are really looking forward to the things to come."
''The Crossfire'' will be released November 19th and contains an
exclusive video clip for the song Knife To Meet You.

WHITE ISLAND update.
Hi
everyone,
Just a little note to let you know I've posted a new tune to my
profile called "Mad At The World". Check it out HERE.
This is another track off my album "Songs Of Love, Hate, Hope
& Depair". The song is about carrying a little bit of angst
and anger around and wanting to direct it at EVRYONE! A happy little
song :-)
I've also made a few more changes to the page itself, the background
is now reflecting the album cover, and there are some hideous
pictures of me in the photos section.
As always, a big thankyou to all of you who exist on my friends
list, I greatly appreciate each and everyone of you, and I love to
communicate with you so please feel welcome to drop by and say
"gidday".
Cheers from New Zealand. Dave.
IMAGIKA has fired guitarist Noor LaCroix.
He will not appear on the new CD "Feast For The Hated". The band is currently looking for a new guitarist. Candidates will have to work out of the San Francisco Bay Area. 7 and 6 string guitar abilities are required as well as attitude, image, pro gear and ability to tour. Interested individuals can contact Imagika at imagika6@gmail.com Please provide us with a sample of your playing and picture.
HANKER update!
I (the band's webmaster) just had the immense privilege of hearing Hanker play their entire upcoming CD live in their rehearsal room this week!
This fifth studio album is the first one with bassist Laurent Imbeau and drummer Sylvain Trembley. My first thought is that, having been a Hanker fan since their first album in 1994, I can certify that this will be a pure traditional Hanker release. The two new members have really integrated very well with the rest of the band. All the Hanker elements that we dig so much are there; great melodies, dual guitar harmonies, double kicks, Pascal's high screams, heavy riffs, excellent lead guitar breaks and some remarkable twists and turns. Some elements remind me of their first album In Our World.
I am really pleased with what I heard; this is going to be a great, solid metal CD. There will be 12 tracks and the entire album will be one hour in length! Hanker will hit the studio at the beginning of November and the album will be released in the first half of 2008. More details coming soon.
VAINGLORY

Following the completion of their new album Cannibalised BIOMECHANICAL have confirmed a fresh line-up, with the exciting addition of ex-Dragonforce bass player Adrian Lambert.
The band's frontman John K has spoken out about the process of allocating the right person for the role:
''Its no secret that its a bit of a bitch to find good bass players and I was thrilled when Adrian contacted me. I also had people from Europe and the UK applying for the job and some of them were of very high standards . But after checking Adrian's playing I realized the logical next step would be to welcome him to the band!''
Adrian, who played bass on the last two Dragonforce albums has a fast and furious bass style that matches BIOMECHANICAL perfectly and he appears equally thrilled about joining the band at this stage, he states:
"Its really exciting to be playing with a world-class act like Biomechanical. I've been into the band since I got The Empires of the Worlds album back when I was still playing in DragonForce, so it's quite incredible for me to be playing with Biomechanical now. John K's assembled an insanely talented new line-up - he's had to get the best because of the complexity and scope of the new album Cannibalised".
Commenting further on the band’s third album, which is set for a February 2008 release date, Adrian states:
''You've got the bombastic film score stuff, you've got the crushing extreme metal riffs and solos… Hell, you've even got some heart-breaking vocal melodies in there as well as John’s trademark screams! I think there’s more of a groove to this album than ''Eight Moons'' and ''Empires….'' but it's also even more extreme and brutal than previous releases. I feel that Biomechanical are breaking a lot of boundaries with Cannibalised and I’m proud to be a part of the team taking this album out on the road''.
VENOM have been confirmed to play at the Atarfe Vega Rock Festival.
The billing is shaping up as follows:
EXCITER, LIZZY BORDEN, BELLADONNA, GRAVE DIGGER, KATATONIA, MAYHEM, LACRIMOSA, MY DYING BRIDE and VENOM.
All
the bands will play the 1st of December in the city of
US Power Metal band CAGE has announced the addition of drummer Norm Leggio, formerly of the legendary Metal band Psychotic Waltz, as nex skin basher!!

Norm brings an entirely new level of drumming to our band that will definitely be noticed immediately at all of our upcoming shows and in our new material we are already hard at work on. We have been friends with Norm for a long time and it is very cool to have him in the CAGE family. We know our fans will be stoked to hear and witness his amazing hand speed and tasty fills. I know he is excited to be heading out on the road again to greet all the CAGE and PSYCHOTIC WALTZ fans around the heavy metal world."

Here's a statement from guitar player Rob Cavestany:
"We are posted up in Los Angeles getting into some serious musical activity. Drove down a week ago and started off with a couple days of final pre-production. We took the songs even further, jamming for hours and digging deep into the details and arrangements. They are now ready to be recorded! We started tracking on Wednesday and it sounds insane!
Raw drum tones are huge! Andy (Galeon, drums) is totally ripping it up, best he's ever been! To top it off, we have the most awesome production team yet. Nick, Lou, Fig, John and Dave are totally on top of their shit. Fuckin pros, man! By Tuesday we should be knee-deep in guitar tracking heaven. Besides all my own gear, there is a shitload of guitars, amps, cabinets, effects and every damn thing to experiment with waiting to be played this week. Can't wait to attack and throw down some axe trax…
Needless to say we are enjoying the process of recording this album to the fullest. We can't wait for you all to hear it. I'll be back with more another progress report in the near future."
Gods of US Christian Metal STRYPER start mixing their new CD in October and will be covering the song 'Peace of Mind' by legendary Boston.
Tom Scholz (Boston guitarist) will play guitar on that song for the release.

Hard Rock legends MAGNUM have announced dates for the upcoming ''Wings Of Heaven Tour'' that will commence in November.
The shows are to be recorded for a forthcoming live album for release next year to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original Wings Of Heaven album. The shows will include many of the tracks from the latest ''Princess Alice & The Broken Arrow'' album and many classic Magnum tracks from their extensive back catalogue.
Also, Magnum's ''Wings Of Heaven'' album will be played in it's entirety, It will be a two part show with no support.
ANDY BOULTON (ex-Tolyo Blade axeman) has signed a deal with Razar Ice Records.
Andy
is currently recording his first solo disc for a tentative spring
2008 release. He has also completed work on a guitar-instruction DVD
that will be made available in the fall of 2007. The Tokyo Blade
back catalog is also being remixed and remastered by Razar Ice and
will be reissued with unreleased bonus and live tracks.
GAMMA RAY have signed with Steamhammer/SPV.
Their new album ''Land Of The Free – II'' is scheduled for release on 19 November 2007 (Germany: 16 November 2007, US: January 2008).
Kai Hansen expressed his delight at the signing:
"Following our previous record company's well-documented restructuring process, we increasingly felt that it would be better to embark on a new course business-wise. The preparations for our joint tour with Helloween spawned the idea to follow Helloween's example and work with Steamhammer/SPV in future. We feel certain that this cooperation will give an extra boost to our career." Land Of The Free – II, the current album release by the group surrounding guitarist/vocalist Kai Hansen, consciously refers to their 1995 classic Land Of The Free I. "Majestic presented Gamma Ray's dark side, while its predecessor, No World Order, was more of an eighties-inspired record.
This time we wanted to turn our attention to a side of the band that has always been our greatest strength: positive power." Gamma Ray produced their new album themselves. All four musicians, Kai Hansen, Henjo Richter (guitar), Dirk Schlächter (bass) and Daniel Zimmermann (drums), are experienced enough to translate their ideas at the studio. But for the first time in ages, the band allowed themselves the luxury of enlisting outside support for certain stages of the recording process.
"We wanted to have a clear head in some areas to be able to concentrate on the important things," Hansen explains the enlistment of Tommy Newton (Helloween, UFO, etc.) and his Area 51 studio in Celle, where the new material was mixed. Newton also took care of the drum parts as a sound engineer at Gamma Ray's own studio. Starting at the end of November, the band will embark on the Hellish Rock 2007/08 tour, alongside Helloween. "The idea for the tour matured during a number of major festivals, where Gamma Ray and Helloween both played. As both bands' schedules are running parallel for the first time in years, we decided to put this idea into practice at last.
" The fans can look forward to a full Gamma Ray show, plus a nightly session together with Helloween, likely to feature a number of classics from Kai Hansen's own Helloween era.
Escape Music Ltd. has announced the signing of the new rock band AIRTIME, featuring Rik Emmett (ex-TRIUMPH) on lead vocals and all guitars and basses; and Michael Shotton (VON GROOVE) on drums / keys and background vocals.
The title of the album is ''Liberty Manifesto'' and is scheduled for release in the week of November 19th. The music is in the same style of Led Zeppelin, Rush and of course some elements of Triumph and Von Groove. The album is produced by Rik Emmett and Michael Shotton, engineered by Michael Shotton, mastered by Nick Blagona (DEEP PURPLE, TEA PARTY, APRIL WINE, and engineered for THE POLICE, RUSH, DAVID BOWIE).
Tracklist looks like:
'Edge
Of Your Mind', 'Midnight Black & Blue', 'Liberty', 'Headstream',
'River Runs Deep', 'Find Your Way', 'Addicted', 'Code 9', 'Rise', 'Moving
Day', 'Transmutation'... with an exclusive bonus track for Europe
only - 'Cryin' Shame'.
Dutch Heavy Metal band CALIBERN is once again hard at work recording their third album. The band will be recording at the Sound Technical Service Studio until the end of November. This new album, named "Shaman" not only will have five never before released songs but it will also inculde a few special surprises. Some of the songs included on the album are the title song Shaman, Fallen Angel, Hunt Him Down, and two new songs that have never been played for a live audience. The album is set to be released in the beginning of 2008.

effect, CHAVIS
RECORDS is
currently re pressing the audio CD which will correct all of the
audio defects in the current product.

We would like to apologize for any inconveinence to our customers
and we understand and feel the very same aggravation that you do
with this. We ask that you please be a little more patient with us
while we work to correct this issue.
TRUE METAL AMERICA update!
Legendary
British/American Heavy Metal trio RAVEN
has returned to Assembly Line Studios with engineer/mixer Kevin 131
(PROJECT: FAILING FLESH, DECEASED, DYSRYTHMIA, GARDEN OF SHADOWS) to
resume recording its new album, tentatively titled "Walk
through Fire".
Commented Kevin 131: "We have been working round the clock and
everyone is fried. Thank goodness I started drinking coffee last
year, overpriced Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts have been saving us all.
"The guys all decided to keep the previous four songs that were
tracked here the way they are. I imagine we may revisit the mix a
bit, but something nice was captured. To be honest, I am not sure
what the hell we all did — so it was more of the same this time
— set up and go! Don't overthink it... that's how RAVEN is best,
no click track, no over doing it — capture their energy and don't
look to make it happen later. If it don't happen on the way down, it
ain't there. Of course, I don't really have to do anything- they
have it all worked out.
"Seeing John (Gallagher, RAVEN bassist/vocalist) play that
12-string bass with his fingers is insane... then he bends the notes
to boot. And Mark's (Gallagher, guitar) memory is crazy. We'll
figure our way through a take, then next time, he pretty much has
it.
"From what they tell me, some of these songs are brand new, so
they are still sorting parts as we go. No micro-managing parts —
the rawness and edge and punch are all there in the tones.
"Once again going for the 'All for One' vibe, but with the
teeth of 'Life's a Bitch'. The songs are great and the guys are
funny. I wish people could hear the outtakes of solos bass runs, and
general stupidity. These guys have their chops, but also good senses
of humor. Mark has his strings so high up with (bad) action I am not
sure how he plays them... but it makes the tones killer, even if he
has to brutalize the guitar — and all hail the 9 thousand dollar
Veleno guitar... back to back on tracks with about three 150 dollar
basses and guitars, it's all about the tone...
"I like this record, hopefully the people who have loved RAVEN
all along will see it's good old RAVEN here! Dammit, everyone says
it, but as a fan, this record is cool."
So there it is folks and don't forget they will be live at......

THUNDRCRACKER news!
Although
my demos are shotty and could use a lot of oomph and proper mixing
etiquette, fuck it - I'm recently unemployed and filled with piss/vinegar.
I wanna rock! So here is some rock...
City Boy:
One of my older tunes that a lot of folks have heard, I just simply
recut it and played it for fun. A lot of people think I wrote this
song about a close friend of mine, but the truth be told - I wrote
it from another person's perspective. I was at a party with some
friends, and one of THEIR pals was back in town from the city (with
his new wife, kid, car, career, etc). He was filling them full of
shit about how great his life is, how the city is "His
City" and so forth...and when the guys asked him to go drink a
beer, he was like "no no no no, I cant...I have to get back to
the house". Later the guys told me of how this dude used to be
crazy, wild, and so many things but tied down and arrogant. Hence,
the concept.
Grudgephuck:
A lot of times I make one word names for my music until I have
lyrics. I named this one grudgephuck, which is fucking stupid, but
now I can't call it anything else. Anyway, it's a song about anybody
who's ever walked into a bar before. All a bar is good for is a
pissing contest between guys to see how tough they are, and who
needs that bullshit. It's tiring.
P.S. - the word "shitkicker" can apply to any roughneck,
roughhousing type...not just a cowboy....so, there you have it.
Machismo.
Again, the demos suck...but you already know that. Someday......far
away......a studio and producer will save me from my humble means.
Yeah.

JEFF SCOTT SOTO began a new chapter in his life as lead singer for mega legends Journey. June 11, 2007, not even a year later, that chapter ended.
Says Jeff:
"I
was looking forward to a long, prosperous future with these guys but
it seems they wanted something different than I brought to the table.
No love lost though, they know what's best for the preservation of
their legacy. I wish them all the best but now it's time to continue
working on my own path again".
Jeff has just completed a European farewell tour with longtime
bandmates Talisman & is set to continue where he left off on the
new solo album he was creating before the Journey call. "A lot
of folks are sad Talisman is over but perhaps we may extend the idea
of saying goodbye a bit although I'm really looking forward to
unleashing the new JSS sound to the world sooner than later".
Jeff has been writing with Swedish artist/producer/writer Paulo
Mendonça for the past year as well as up & coming singer/writer
Sam Grow on the new material. "Paulo writes the way I dream of
my music sounding, everything he touches is gold to me. Sam is new
on the scene, a kid I hear loads of potential in his own material,
which I can also hear collaborating with on mine. It's a new,
contemporary, soulful, rock, groove thing with a lot of melody!".
The new album should be completed before the end of the year but no release date or label has been announced yet. Sounds can be heard on www.myspace.com/sewtoe as well as the many other aspects of Jeff's career can be found at www.jeffscottsoto.com.
"Thanks for all the newfound support & loyalty out there, I have made MANY new friends & fans the past year & I hope to bring you along for the next ride!".
SUBLIMINAL
FEAR (Ita) have
