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
retailers or from the Earache European Webstore at
http://www.earacheshop.com/store/newreleases.html and will soon be
available as a special import item from the EARACHE U.S. Webstore http://earachestore.com/store/
