GAMA BOMB POST TOUR REPORT

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB have posted a tour report regarding their recent
UK tour with thrash legends EXODUS and fast-rising UK thrashers EVILE.

This is what GAMA BOMB had to say about playing up and down the UK to
riotous reception night after night, with two of the greatest thrash bands
around today:

"The G-Bizzers have just returned from our UK tour with Exodus and Evile,
and what a week it's been...kicking off in London, we had one of the best
receptions we've ever had and were thrilled to play the Underworld, which
has always been something of an ambition of ours. Leeds the next night was
an even better set, and those who assembled really made us feel welcome,
which was cool. Dublin was possibly the most surprising night by a mile:
expecting a decent reception and some friendly back-slapping, we were
astonished by how well we went down. We managed to sell more tees than we
even had in London, which was great. We definitely owe them Dublin thrashers
more gigs like that one."

CARCASS - NECROTICISM REISSUE DUALDISC IN STORES TODAY

NECROTICISM - DESCANTING THE INSALUBRIOUS, the seminal 1991 album from
recently-reformed British grindcore legends CARCASS, has been reissued and

NECROTICISM is the first of the five CARCASS studio albums to be reissued,
and comes fully remastered on DualDisc (CD + DVD) with part 3 of a

The documentary consists of interviews, filmed in London and Liverpool at
the end of 2007, featuring the members of CARCASS - KEN OWEN, BILL STEER,
JEFF WALKER and MICHAEL AMOTT - who met up for the first time in ten years
and were filmed discussing in-depth the story behind the band's development
from their gore-soaked grind beginnings to the more refined melodic moments
of their later output.

The two-and-a-half hours of interviews that comprise THE PATHOLOGIST'S
REPORT have been edited into five parts of 30-minute mini-documentaries that
will be added as bonus material to the DualDisc reissues of each of the
band's five studio albums, starting with NECROTICISM, with the rest being
issued throughout the summer. The CD will come housed in a deluxe digipak
and the first 5000 copies will come with free band member death scene cards.

GLEN BENTON CLAIMS BIGFOOT SIGHTING

GLEN BENTON, vocalist and bassist for death metal legends DEICIDE, claims to
have seen a Sasquatch or Bigfoot in a Florida state forest.

In the latest issue of Terrorizer magazine, Glen tells the tale of one
strange night in the middle of nowhere, where he believes he saw 'the
Florida Sasquatch':

"I see this big fuckin' thing lurched down on the side of the road... It's
this big grey thing... it fuckin' clears the road in one fuckin' leap,
'ROOOOAHHR!' then into the woods."

Glen describes following the creature into the woods in his jeep: "This
thing's snapping down trees left and right. All around was a smell like the
inside of a dumpster... This thing looked like a primate of some sort.
Fuckin' huge eyes, but like part-orangutan and part-chimp."

After calling Florida Wildlife, the area was checked and tracks are said to
have been found. GLEN's experience was documented as an official sighting.

Was it really a Sasquatch that GLEN BENTON witnessed that night? One
thing's for sure, it had to be something pretty weird for it to scare the
man who some people call the Devil incarnate.

Check out the famous original video footage of a supposed Bigfoot creature
at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJjUt2sXo5o

Two brand new exclusive tracks from the upcoming DEICIDE album, TILL DEATH
DO US PART, are available for streaming and download at the official DEICIDE
MySpace page here: http://www.myspace.com/thestenchofredemption

DEICIDE - NEW STEVE ASHEIM INTERVIEW ON BLISTERING.COM

Darren Cowan of Blistering.com recently had the opportunity to chat with
DEICIDE drummer, Steve Asheim. What Darren came out with was a 3000 word, 3
page featured interview that knocked his socks off and goes in depth at what
fans have in store for them when they take their first listens to TILL DEATH
DO US PART on May 13.

Here are some choice quotes from the interview:

Steve Asheim on TILL DEATH DO US PART's subject matter:

"This time around, they maybe are not as overtly blasphemous. His (Glen
Benton's) titles aren¹t as over the top as previously. When you get to check
the lyrics out, they are definitely his most hateful and most heartfelt hate
he has ever had. There is blasphemy in his equating of real life, love and
betrayal to betrayal by God. He has a twisted viewpoint on things, and it is
hard for me to pinpoint where exactly he is coming from, sometimes. I think
it is easy to say he is pretty angry. It may not be your ³praise-hail-Satan
Glen Benton² blasphemies from the past."

Steve Asheim on the overall response given to DEICIDE when they were forced
to tour without Glen Benton:

"The fan response was remarkably good! There was more promoter concern than
fan concern. Over the course of the entire tour, twenty-five or twenty-eight
shows, there were maybe fifty tickets returned, total. We were expecting
fifty to a hundred returns every night! That just didn¹t happen. They would
post a sign outside the venue saying, ³Attention, Glen Benton is not here.
DEICIDE will still perform with a fill-in vocalist.² There were ten ticket
returns here, five there, it wasn¹t that big of a deal. It¹s not like they
didn¹t want to see Glen, but once they got down there, they stayed because
they would rather see something than nothing. I have to thank the fans for
that one. They really came through for us. It wasn¹t expected to go well, so
we were really surprised. What I got out of the whole thing was it really
wasn¹t about Glen, the Hoffman Brothers or me. It¹s about the songs!!"

DEICIDE - NEW STEVE ASHEIM INTERVIEW ON METALSUCKS

When MetalSucks.com's Axl Rosenburg had the chance to interview
DEICIDE founder and drumming legend, Steve Asheim...well, it's best to
let Axl tell you himself:

"So when I was recently presented with the opportunity to interview
founding drummer and primary songwriter Steve Asheim, I naturally
jumped at the chance - so long as I could the interview by e-mail.
Truth be told, I feared that Asheim might be too evil, even for me."

What Axl got was an interview that was as thought-provoking as it was
evil:

Steve Asheim on TILL DEATH DO US PART:

"I think this new album is a good mix of old and new styles of
DEICIDE. It reminds me of a cross between STENCH
because of the more expansive writing style of songwriting, and LEGION
because of the mood and vibe of the album. A lot of people thought
that STENCH was too melodic and I think TILL DEATH DO US PART has
definitely tweaked that, [it¹s] kind of anti-melodic."

Steve Asheim on "Fuck Your God" being used to torture Iraqi
prisoners:

"I don¹t mind the song being used for that stuff, it¹s kind of
funny, actually. Hell, they should fly us in and pay us to play live
interrogations! HA!

Seriously though, I just don¹t think play loud music for people,
especially warriors, is torture. Last I checked, people payed a lot of
money to have loud music blasted at them - hell, it¹s how I make a
living!"

Steve Asheim on some of his favorite tour stories:

"It¹s kind of a toss up between the time I almost went to prison in
Austria for suspicion of being connected to a bank robbery, or the
time I was almost eaten alive by a pack of wolves in the Arizona
desert while trying to take a dump next to a cactus. And those are
just the first couple off the top of my head."

DEICIDE's Steve Asheim at http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=4987

CULT OF LUNA COMPLETES RECORDING OF NEW ALBUM

CULT OF LUNA COMPLETES RECORDING OF NEW ALBUM

CULT OF LUNA have posted a message up on their official website proclaiming the completion of the recording process for their new, as of yet untitled album scheduled for release later this year:

"The recording of our new album is now finished and we have started the mixing process. Album title and release date are not yet confirmed but expect news about that soon."

Having completed 8 songs during their time in the studio, the new material will see the band attempt to adapt their sound, welcoming a harsher and more primal element to their already complex approach.

You can view photos taken from CULT OF LUNA's recent recording sessions by going to http://www.cultofluna.com/content_media.html and clicking the pictures under the "Recording Album, March 2008" heading.

The new, currently untitled CULT OF LUNA album is expected for a June U.K release and a July release in the U.S.
