EPHEL DUATH - NEW TRACK AVAILABLE FOR STREAMING

Italian avant-garde metallers EPHEL DUATH, who recently finished recording
their upcoming new studio album, THROUGH MY DOG'S EYES, have uploaded a
brand new track to their MySpace page for streaming.

Check out the latest dog-themed song, titled "Breed", along with another
recently released new track, "Guardian", at
http://www.myspace.com/ephelduath

THROUGH MY DOG'S EYES is based on a bizarre concept conjured up by guitarist
and founding member DAVIDE TISO, in which the entire album is written from
the perspective of a dog.

In a strange twist of fate, after having recorded an album about a dog,
LUCIANO LORUSSO GEORGE - vocalist for EPHEL DUATH since 2003's THE PAINTERS
PALETTE - was forced to leave the band for economic and personal reasons,
and has since become a full-time dog groomer. The new vocalist has been
announced as GUILLERMO GONZALES, a professional poker player. As such, the
band are now planning to finance some future tours through playing poker.

THROUGH MY DOG'S EYES is due to be released by Earache Records on January
26th, 2009. Check out a promo picture for the album at

EPHEL DUATH ANNOUNCE NEW VOCALIST

Italian avant-garde metallers EPHEL DUATH have announced a new vocalist for
the band, GUILLERMO GONZALES.

EPHEL DUATH guitarist and founding member DAVIDE TISO comments: "Guillermo
has been close to Ephel Duath for some time - he almost joined the band
before in 2003! He was going to take the place of the clean vocalist Davide
Tolomei who left Ephel Duath after The Painters Palette. Then we realized
that Guillermo's aggressive vocal approach was going to clash with Lucio and
we all agreed to abandon the idea. In any case, from that moment on
Guillermo started to be very active with Ephel Duath, helping me with lyrics
and the development of the concepts so far. The whole idea behind the songs
'Vector' and 'Vector Third Movement' from Pain Necessary To Know come from a
conversation we had together. More recently, he was the person that pushed
me to write the short stories I did for Through My Dog's Eyes.

"I always thought that one day I was going to have a band with my friend
Guillermo, then when Lucio realized that he was forced to abandon the band,
we both agreed that he was the right person to call to properly continue the
activity of Ephel Duath. We are already working so hard, that I didn't have
the time to realize how excited I am to start this new adventure... What I
know is that I'm really, really happy and genuinely trusting for the future
of my life, and my band."

New vocalist GUILLERMO is a professional poker player and the band even plan
to finance some future tours through playing poker.

GUILLERMO comments: "I've been in the Italian extreme metal scene since
1992. For 15 years I've been the lead singer of Mothercare, one of the most
important Italian underground extreme metal bands (boasting collaborations
with Napalm Death and Nasum). I met Davide in 2002 when we both lived in
Venice. He's been my dearest friend since then. We often tried to do
something together, but our roads always went in different directions. Now
it seems our roads have finally become one.

"2 months ago I left Mothercare because of internal contrasts and I felt
like my life was over. 2 weeks ago Davide told me that Lucio was going to
quit and asked me to become Ephel Duath's new singer. A new life started.
Lucio is a great performer and has been a great partner for Davide; I'm
honored to be his heir and I'm insanely excited about being in a band that I
always considered one of the most innovative and original in today's music.
In my "regular" life I am a poker journalist and a professional poker
player. Since 2006 I'm the editor in chief of Poker Sportivo, the main
Italian poker magazine. I live now in Verona but I'm often touring Europe
to follow all major poker tournaments. I've got a blog where I write about
my poker life, cinema, music, creative writing and other stuff."

LUCIANO LORUSSO GEORGE, vocalist for Ephel Duath since 2003's THE PAINTERS
PALETTE, was forced to leave the band for economic and personal reasons.
EPHEL DUATH have always been a band of coincidence and change, constantly
evolving, and as fate would have it, after recording an album about a dog,
LUCIANO has become a full-time dog groomer - the irony of which has not been
lost on main man DAVIDE.

DAVIDE states: "Lucio is together with me the guy who has always believed
most in this band so far. The news about his departure has been shocking,
especially for him as he had no choice - and he never thought about his life
without the band. I'm so sad he's no longer part of this project,
especially after all the work he's put into Through My Dog's Eyes. Ephel
Duath has always tried to surmount any obstacles put in its path and this is
probably one of the most difficult we've ever faced, but we will continue
because challenges are the roots of this band and it's what makes us
stronger. And after recording an album about a dog, who can fault fate with
this twist they've laid upon us?"

THROUGH MY DOG'S EYES is due to be released by Earache Records on January
26th, 2009. Check out a promo picture for the album at

EARACHE ARTISTS SHOW THEIR THANKS

As tradition goes, we in America have once again come to that time of
the year where those of us fortunate enough get to huddle together
with family and friends over a delicious turkey carcass (or tofurkey,
turducken, chicken - whatever floats your boat) and say thanks for all
that we have been grateful for in the past year.

Those of us in the EARACHE family might exude more metal than Iron
Man, but that doesn't mean we can't stop and give thanks to that which
we feel made us better, stronger and made our lives more meaningful
over the past year.

Here's what some of our artists have been thankful for in 2008:

ORDER OF ENNEAD guitarist/vocalist, Kevin Quirion - "I'm thankful for
the opportunity to bring our music to the masses."

OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail - "I'm thankful for my life being as
hard as it is/was, without it I wouldn't have been as strong as I am
today"

BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales - "I'm thankful for
family"

MUNICIPAL WASTE vocalist, Tony Foresta - "I'm thankful I get to watch
football on Thursday."

CAULDRON vocalist, Jason Decay - "I'm thankful I'm not crippled."

When even a Canadian citizen like Jason Decay can still be thankful
for something a month after his country's Thanksgiving occurred, it
goes to show that giving thanks is not only a pretty metal thing to
do, but it is also a good feeling felt worldwide. For something even
more metal, though, check out EARACHE's newest special release,
WORLDWIDE METAL.

Celebrating the diversity of metal in all of its forms, WORLDWIDE
METAL is
the ultimate collection of the fastest, heaviest and most brutal metal
tracks to rock this planet. Consisting of 5 CDs of pure metal mayhem
plus a
fully playable PC game - all for the price of one CD - this collection
boasts over 80 tracks from both old school favourites and some of the
best
new talents to hit the scene.

The 5 CDs are split into territories according to artists and include
USA (2
discs, featuring DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, MUNICIPAL WASTE, BONDED BY
BLOOD and
more), UK (featuring CARCASS, NAPALM DEATH, CATHEDRAL, IRON MONKEY,
AKERCOCKE, EVILE, GAMA BOMB and more), Europe (featuring VADER,
DECAPITATED,
LINEA 77, EPHEL DUATH and more) and Scandinavia (featuring AT THE GATES,
ENTOMBED, THE HAUNTED, MORTIIS, CULT OF LUNA and more). WORLDWIDE METAL
also marks the Earache debuts of IGNOMINIOUS INCARCERATION, THE BOY WILL
DROWN and OCEANO.

On top of over 5 hours of extreme metal on 5 CDs, WORLDWIDE METAL also
includes a fully playable PC version of "Earache Extreme Metal Racing"!
Originally released on the PlayStation 2 games console, "Earache Extreme
Metal Racing" blasts its way onto PC for the first time and remains the
first and only death metal-themed computer game. In this full game, ten
Earache bands race their vehicles in a gruesome fight for supremacy.
One or
two players crush and kill their way through totally twisted
racetracks to
the soundtrack of 3 hours of ear-splitting death metal and grindcore,
with
rare video clips included as unlockable bonus content.

With this killer collection of 5 CDs plus a PC game being sold for the
price
of just one CD, WORLDWIDE METAL is the perfect purchase for any
collector or
newcomer and is an ideal Christmas present for any self-respecting
metalhead. WORLDWIDE METAL is available in Europe now from all good
music

EVILE guitarist Ol Drake fractured his jaw last week after the band's
show in Rotterdam, Netherlands supporting SATYRICON.

Ol wrote a blog to update everyone on his situation on EVILE's MySpace
page:

"hello from my bed.

thank you for all the get well messages (even the guy who said we
suck, you rule).

want to start by saying a HUGE sorry to all the people wanting to see
us play on the Satyricon tour, I couldn't be more pissed off. I'm the
first person to oppose cancelling any gig or tour, unless it's
completely necessary. My first worry wasn't even for my health, it was
for the tour... And that my beard would be ok.

I literally can't stand up for longer than 5 minutes or I just feel
like going back down (took 4 goes to get the X-ray done). I did a
highly medical thing called "lose blood". I wish I could have carried
on the tour. No energy at all

Will get myself checked but I think I pretty much know why it happened:

During the Canada tour i developed a really bad cold/infection (which
Ben caught, putting him in hospital on our return), it got worse when
we got home. It developed into a URTI (Upper Respiratory Tracht
Infection) so I was put on medication for that. My system was pretty
low but I carried on anyway.

With the long drives on this tour, and the vast boredom between shows,
I basically slept all the time. When it came to eating, we didn't have
much food but I ate what I could that we were given by venues. On top
of that we didn't have too much money to buy food (most of it going to
lots of petrol) so I was basically not eating enough. I've done enough
gigs and tours and not eaten a lot, and physically got by, as the
shows themselves are usually good excersise. But I think this time it
just caught up with me at a bad time and said "you hit the floor now".
I've broken one side of the top of my jaw, detaching a bone which
holds the muscle in place. Therefore the muscle is pulling my jaw up
on one side. I sound like Stephen Hawking when I talk. Also a bone
deep gash on my chin.

I will have to just get myself into good health, as this was basically
my own fault.

so again, huge apologies to our fans, Satyricon + Crew (thankyou for
being cool with us!) and Zonaria."

what happened, go to EVILE's MySpace

EVILE LEAD GUITARIST OL DRAKE FRACTURES JAW, BAND LEAVE TOUR

OL DRAKE, lead guitarist of UK thrashers EVILE fractured his jaw last night
after the band's show in Rotterdam, Netherlands supporting SATYRICON.

EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments:

"Ol collapsed last night and fractured his jaw and split his chin on the
ground. Luckily his beard absorbed some of the blow. He's been in hospital
and had X-rays and been stitched up, but he's unable to play - he can't
really move - he's a mess. Ol doesn't drink, it seems to be some medical
problem that's being investigated. They did an ECG and we're awaiting
results. Unfortunately we're having to pull out of the tour to get home to
the UK where Ol can recuperate and have some follow-up tests.

"We apologise to all our fans and to anyone planning to see us at the shows.
As you can imagine we're devastated we can't play, but Ol's health comes
first and that's currently our priority. We will update our fans through
the MySpace with news when we're back home. We won't be on any of the
Satyricon tour from today."

EVILE plan to resume touring duties in 2009. Keep up-to-date with news on
OL DRAKE's condition by checking for updates on the band's MySpace page at

ORDER OF ENNEAD ADDED TO WINTERFEST 2009

ORDER OF ENNEAD has been added to the lineup of Winterfest 2009, a
European tour that also features the likes of DECIDE, VADER, SAMAEL,

ORDER OF ENNEAD - NEW INTERVIEW WITH BEYOND THE DARK HORIZON

ORDER OF ENNEAD guitarist/vocalist Kevin Quirion was recently
interviewed by Beyond The Dark Horizon about the band's self-titled
debut which was released last week worldwide. Amongst other topics
discussed in the interview, Quirion touches upon touring plans, his
passions, a 2nd ORDER OF ENNEAD album and why the band's lyrics are so
refreshingly introspective:

"You can't go wrong if you write what you know. If I wrote evil or
violent lyrics it wouldn't be genuine. I'm not evil, angry, violent or
abusive. I'm very mellow, have a silly sense of humor and just going
through life looking for answers. In this way, these lyrics are more
realistic on a personal note. I've never killed someone so I wouldn't
write about about killing someone. I don't have a problem with being
productive and positive. If that's not "true" metal blah blah blah
then that's fine with me. Stop with the whining and don't be so
concerned with what other people are doing."

OCEANO GUITARIST, ANDREW MIKHAIL CHANNELS ANGER AND "SLEEP-GUITARS" WHILE RECORDING "DEPTHS"

Andrew Mikhail, guitarist of Chicago, IL deathcore outfit, OCEANO
recently took some time out from the band's road trip to recall some
of the more memorable moments that took place at The Foundation
Studios in Connersville, IN, where the band recorded their debut
album, DEPTHS.

"Our biggest challenge was to find a way to channel all of our anger
and animosity we bring to the table out on stage and bring it into the
studio so we can make the heaviest, most bad ass album we know how to
make." While some bands stretch for inspiration in the studio, all
Mikhail and the rest of OCEANO had to do was look at their
surroundings. "We were in the middle of nowhere with no mental or
physical escape from your tasks, stuck in a small room for too long
having to do the same things over and over again until you have to
sleep and then wake up to repeat everything the next day - and
nevermind if you actually fucked up a part because that would just
make the process more excruciating."

Despite the frustrations, the band always knows how to turn a negative
into a positive: "The monotony of it all was what got to us. No matter
how much you love what you do, everyone has a breaking point. We're
just lucky that we know how to elevate our performances by channeling
our anger into them. In the end, being cooped up was a good thing."

OCEANO's frustration is their inspiration, however both can take their
toll so the band had to find a way to stay at the top of their game
"We needed a way to keep our energy up - things got pretty intense;"
said Mikhail. "After the drums were done, we alternated days where
we'd record 3 songs on guitar and bass, then have Adam (Warren, OCEANO
vocalist) go do 3 songs the next day. We'd keep doing that until we
had everything done and over with. Doing it like that helped us all
stay fresh."

Things didn't always go as planned, as the imposing OCEANO guitarist
recalls. "We'd be up doing recording sessions 'til 2-3 in the morning
each day and sometimes it'd catch up to you. I actually fell asleep
recording the breakdown to the last track on the record and it's still
there." One might wonder how an artist can play while sleeping, let
alone play well while sleeping, but as Mikhail explains; "It wouldn't
be on the record if it didn't sound good. I had my head slumped over,
I was almost drooling, but i still felt what I had to play and it came
out good enough to keep."

You can hear all of OCEANO's full animosity and Andrew Mikhail's
lessons in sleep-guitaring when the band's debut album, DEPTHS hits
stores in March 2009.

OCEANO's debut album, DEPTHS was recorded with producer JOEY STURGIS
(THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, MY CHILDREN MY BRIDE) at The Foundation
Studios in Connersville, Indiana, and will feature artwork from COLIN
MARKS (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, ABORTED, WHITECHAPEL).

Due to be released in March of 2009, DEPTHS contains 13 tracks of the

11. A Mandatory Sacrifice

GAMA BOMB LAUNCH NEW BLOG

Having recently wrapped up their huge Thrashing Like A Maniac tour in
Europe, Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB are now back at home resting, but by no
means inactive.

After storming their way across Europe with LA thrashers BONDED BY BLOOD and
UK openers SWORN AMONGST, GAMA BOMB have created a new online blog page to
keep the fans up-to-date with everything thrash, retro and completely
random.

With topics ranging from the hot-or-not of thrash in '08, to shoes from
'Back To The Future', the witty Irishmen will be updating their personal
blog frequently, undoubtedly providing a good few giggles to get you through
the Winter.

THE BOY WILL DROWN POST STUDIO REPORT

British technical metallers THE BOY WILL DROWN are currently in the studio
recording their first ever album.

The band, who recently signed a multi-album, worldwide recording deal with
Earache Records, are following in the footsteps of their idols DECAPITATED,
having entered Hertz Studios in Bialystok, Poland to record their as-yet
untitled debut album.

The band comments: "Drums are all done, just a small bit of editing left to
do. They're faster and played harder than in the MySpace tracks prior. The
sound that the Hertz bros. have got is incredible. Doesn't stop there!!!
On the 4th guitar track now and we've also laid down some vocals.

"All in it's shaping up to be one hell of a sound and album. So far we're
proper happy with how everything's going and hope it carries on as
productively as it has been!"

Having only formed in 2006, THE BOY WILL DROWN are currently regarded as one
of the most flamboyant and intense bands in the UK. Playing a vicious blend
of technical and experimental music based around grindcore and death metal,
the band do everything in their power to mesmerise and pulverise the
listener, whilst simultaneously injecting an element of humour, fun and
youth into their music.

Check out some tracks from THE BOY WILL DROWN at the band's MySpace page at

ORDER OF ENNEAD INTERVIEW ON ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC

Alex Gilbert of All About The Music recently had the opportunity to
chat with Kevin Quirion and Steve Asheim of ORDER OF ENNEAD. Beginning
with the band's transformation from COUNCIL OF THE FALLEN to all
things surrounding the creation of ORDER OF ENNEAD's self-titled debut
and the ever-increasing connection to death metal legends, DEICIDE,
there was no stone left unturned in this interview with members of the
masterfully introspective extreme metal act.

Kevin Quirion on ORDER OF ENNEAD's writing process: "As far as writing
goes, I'll bring a near finished song to Steve at the practice space.
He'll add his drums and we sometimes change the structure or add this
and that to make it flow better. Then we'll record the drums with just
a scratch guitar and listen to it for a couple of days. After we have
enough songs for an album we will record the drums again, but this
time by themselves. Then I go over to Scott's and record the guitars.
Scott will then add his bass and come up with some clever fills. Then
the vocals are added. I usually have to lyrics written way in advance.
Then we bring in John Li to add some solo themes and get some ideas.
The solos that go onto the final CD version usually are created in the
studio with parts of ideas and themes taken from the demo, but
sometimes they are totally spontaneous."

CULT OF LUNA INVITE FANS TO SUBMIT QUESTIONS FOR NEW DVD

Following on from their new album, ETERNAL KINGDOM, Swedish art-rockers CULT
OF LUNA are preparing to release their first ever DVD.

Along with an epic live show recorded earlier this year at Scala in London,
UK, the DVD will also feature a brand new interview with the band - and this
is where YOU come in.

CULT OF LUNA want you, the fans, to send in your questions for the band to
answer during the interview. So get thinking about those questions you've
always wanted to ask the band, send them in and the band will answer the
best ones on the DVD!

Please send all questions for the band to info@cultofluna.com, with the

ETERNAL KINGDOM is available now worldwide. Based on an actual journal
found in an old mental home, the album takes listeners on a weird and
wonderful journey through the mind of a former patient as he tells the tale
of how his wife came to be murdered, and of the mythical creatures he claims
to have encountered during the time of the harrowing event.

ETERNAL KINGDOM is available from all good music retailers, or can be
purchased from the Earache European Webstore at
http://www.earacheshop.com/store/cultofluna.html or the Earache USA Webstore
