BLOOD RED THRONE - NEW INTERVIEW ON PIVOTAL RAGE

BLOOD RED THRONE - NEW INTERVIEW ON PIVOTAL RAGE

Pivotal Rage recently spoke with Død, guitarist of the groove-laden Norwegian death metallers, BLOOD RED THRONE. Among the many topics talked about are recording techniques, touring, "the BLOOD RED THRONE curse," the finer points of tour bus surfing and the various inspirations that contribute to the band's signature sound:

"I've listened to US death metal since 1992 and I still think the old classic bands are the best;" says Død "So, obviously I'm inspired by those bands when I write my death metal. But seriously, I can't recollect ONE US death metal band in 2008 sounding like BRT! Nevertheless, we're not in for the originality. We're in for making good quality death metal, and we don't give a shit if it sounds American or Chinese!"

BONDED BY BLOOD - OWN A PIECE OF THRASH HISTORY

BONDED BY BLOOD - OWN A PIECE OF THRASH HISTORY

California thrashers, BONDED BY BLOOD recently completed the recording of their debut album, FEED THE BEAST. During their time in the studio, vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales was given a leather jacket as a gift to commemorate the recording experience. Although Aladdin proudly wore the jacket for some time, he ultimately felt it was too small for him. Not wanting to simply waste a good gift, Aladdin thought about making the jacket available to his fans:

"Our fans have been so good to us that if I couldn't give them the shirt off my back, I should give them my jacket instead;" says energetic frontman, Aladdin.

This size 38 black leather jacket (shown here: http://www.earache.com/public/jacket.jpg) was worn during the recording sessions of BONDED BY BLOOD's debut album, FEED THE BEAST. Aladdin's jacket is already a piece of thrash history and it's sure to get snatched up by a fellow thrashing maniac fast. Go to www.myspace.com/bondedbyblood to get more info on it and if you'd like to make an offer to buy it, contact the band via their myspace profile.

Check out some pictures of the band in the studio:

BIOMECHANICAL to guest on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6 rock show this Friday

BIOMECHANICAL to guest on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6 rock show this Friday

Hi-definition metallers Biomechanical will guest on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6
Rock Show this Friday 25th Jan at 10pm UK time.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/bruce_dickinson/

Recorded in London last week, Dickinson talks to John K and new
Biomechanical guitarist Chris Van Hayden about the new album, flying planes,
recording and drum sound as well as playing tracks from 'Cannibalised'.

Biomechanical mainman John K states:

"I have been a huge fan of Maiden and I never had the chance to meet any of
the members so it was a big deal for me to meet Bruce. He has also been a
huge influence on me so it was just a great experience and a bit surreal
talking about 'Cannibalised' with him.

The show was great fun, I went with guitarist Chris Van Hayden who is also a
fighter pilot. So Bruce and Chris had lots to talk about in the studio
and I was trying to follow the flying discussions with a baffled look on my
face! Cheers to Bruce for having us, it was awesome meeting the main man!"

Listen in to hear tracks from the forthcoming new album 'Cannibalised',
released 11th Feb 2008. The limited edition first pressing comes with 4
exclusive bonus orchestral tracks.

BIOMECHANICAL - JOHN K REVEALS HIS TOP 5 FILM SCORES OF ALL TIME

BIOMECHANICAL - JOHN K REVEALS HIS TOP 5 FILM SCORES OF ALL TIME

It's no secret that BIOMECHANICAL mastermind, John K is a connoisseur of film scores. All of the studying he did on film score composition, orchestration and instrumentation techniques eventually helped to form a big part of BIOMECHANICAL's unique sound.

While the influences on the metal side (such as John K's piercing Rob Halford-like screams) are apparent to most metal fans who listen to BIOMECHANICAL, a recent conversation with John K revealed what he believes to be his top 5 favorite and most influential film scores of all time:

1) The Empire Strikes Back - John Williams
2) Dracula (1979)- John Williams
3) Alien-Jerry Goldsmith
4) Interview With a Vampire -Elliot Goldenthal
5) Krull-James Horner

Get more insight on BIOMECHANICAL and their new album, CANNIBALISED as our very own Talita Jenman interviews the band from EARACHE U.K.'s recent xmas party. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rfL617hK3s

We're pretty confident that we're about to make a record that's going to win converts. It's going to change people's minds, make them throw out the dross they've been tolerating for the last 15 years and really start thrashing out like big boys again.?We'll be sure to pack our thermals, a few cases of special brew and an industrial-sized drum of beans for this one."

Among the tracks set for inclusion are ?Space Invaders?, ?Sentenced to Thrash?, ?Hammer Slammer? and ?Zombi Brew?, the latter also featured on the upcoming 'Thrashing Like A Maniac' compilation due on January 21, alongside a host of other emerging new Thrash acts like Evile, Municipal Waste, Dekapitator and Warbringer.

EARACHE AND THRASH GO HAND IN HAND ON RHAPSODY'S EDITORIAL BLOG

"Play," the editorial blog of music download service, Rhapsody had a lot to say about what was hot in the world of metal in 2007. On their top 10 list was the resurgence of thrash, something that EARACHE has been on the forefront of. With several big thrash releases and signings over the course of last year. Taking notice of the great strides that EARACHE has taken in proudly giving the fans the premium thrash that they want, Play states that "The thrash resurgence is indeed upon us thanks to EARACHE RECORDS artists like MUNICIPAL WASTE, SSS, EVILE...churning out shredding riffage."

Read Play's "Best of Metal 2007" here: http://blog.rhapsody.com/2007/12/the-past-few-ye.html

BONDED BY BLOOD - 'FEED THE BEAST' COVER ART REVEALED

BONDED BY BLOOD - 'FEED THE BEAST' COVER ART REVEALED

Picking up where the cover for EXTINGUISH THE WEAK left off, BONDED BY BLOOD's mascot, Brutus faces off with the devil on the cover of the band's EARACHE debut, FEED THE BEAST.

With its dynamic comic book-style artwork, FEED THE BEAST's cover conveys not only the sense of danger and electricity that is personified in the music, but a deeper meaning is conveyed as well. "The artwork represents my whole view on Los Angeles. It takes you in and spits you back out," says vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales. "LA is like a beast, if you don't do the right "thing" you will end up on the streets. I think Tom, the artist, took my interpretation and made it come alive."

Check out the cover art of FEED THE BEAST here: http://www.earache.com/public/FeedTheBeast.jpg

BONDED BY BLOOD will commence the recording of FEED THE BEAST with producer Michael Rosen (TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL) on January 11th 2008 at J Street Recorders in Sacramento, CA.

Tracklist

01. Immortal Life
02. Feed The Beast
03. The Evil Within
04. Another Disease
05. Unusual Punishment
06. Vengeance
07. To A Sickening Degree.
08. Strike Of Fear
09. Sounds Of Torture
10. Necropsy
11. Self-Immolation
*Bonus Track: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Theme Song

Keep posted to www.myspace.com/bondedbybloodfeedthebeast for more information about their upcoming spring 2008 EARACHE debut, FEED THE BEAST.
