OCEANO TO SHOOT MUSIC VIDEO FOR "DISTRICT OF MISERY"

OCEANO, officially a number 1 band on MySpace is celebrating their
achievement tomorrow in Los Angeles, California where they will shoot
a video for the song "District of Misery."

Directed by Patrick Guera (DIFFICULT HENRY, HARD ECHO) and produced by
Brian Thompson at The Vault LA (MUNICIPAL WASTE, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS
I LAY DYING), the video will be shot in a converted LA warehouse and
promises to be as heavy and formidable as the band themselves.

The video will see OCEANO playing the song alongside a twisted
photographic interpretation of each lyrical line as it is growled. The
director's vision for the photographic concept is a compelling choice
for a band who's image already relies on dark intensity. "Me (Patrick
Guera) and my director of photography shot some more surrealistic
stuff to accentuate the brutality." As for exactly what imagery will
be used;", says Guera as the director slyly hints at some of the
specific imagery. "i use a lot of gnarled branches, some human props,
i don't want to give too much away. The visuals will speak for
themselves"

"The video is mostly based around Oceano's performance," says Guera,
"they are really brutal so we are going to accentuate that in the way
we shoot them, covering them from all angles, matching our movement to
the change ups in the song."

The video is shaping up to be a vital step in the ascendancy of
OCEANO. You can be sure to get behind the scenes access to the making
of it and more info on their official MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/xoceano

"District of Misery," the blasting lead single from OCEANO's April 7th
debut, DEPTHS, can be heard on Sirius XM satellite radio (where it is
currently charting at number 15 on the Liquid Metal playlist). Go to http://www.sirius.com/liquidmetal
and DEMAND that they play it!

OCEANO is the number 1 "unsigned" death metal band on all of MySpace.
They have also hit number 5 on the hardcore charts and number 12 on
the metal charts.

EVILE UPDATES FANS ON NEW ALBUM PLANS

UK thrashers EVILE, who recently announced their first full headlining UK
tour, are currently hard at work on the follow-up to their critically
acclaimed 2007 debut album, ENTER THE GRAVE.

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE checks in with some details on the band's
highly anticipated second offering:

"We're very glad to announce we'll be working with the brilliant Russ
Russell on the next release at Parlour Studios, UK. Russ has produced
excellent work with bands such as Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir, The Exploited
and many more. We've known Russ for a few years now. We first met him in
London at one of our shows where he expressed how much he'd like to work
with us sometime, and that time has come. I believe Russ can bring us a
very interesting sound and approach to the new material which we're writing.
Expect a very crushing and interesting album! The cover art will also be
very crushing and interesting! Definitely one for vinyl!

"We've been working non-stop on the new Evile material since before the
Megadeth tour last February. We're even into the demo process of the new
album. Just last weekend we recorded the first 3 demo tracks we completed
first. Looking back on what we've been writing, it's surprising how diverse
and different the material has got since starting on the first "album 2"
song. Don't worry, it's thrash, we're just trying to use our brains more
than our 'ripped jeans'."

EVILE's as-yet untitled second album is due to be released in late 2009
through Earache Records.

EVILE are set to embark on their first full headlining UK tour in April with
support from WARPATH and MUTANT. See them live at the following shows:

15 April 2009 - Birmingham, UK - Barfly
16 April 2009 - Newcastle, UK - Academy
17 April 2009 - Manchester, UK - Academy
18 April 2009 - Dublin, IRE - Fibber Magees
19 April 2009 - Cork, IRE - An Cruiscin Lan
20 April 2009 - Glasgow, UK - Barfly
21 April 2009 - Edinburgh, UK - Studio 24
22 April 2009 - Sheffield, UK - Corporation
23 April 2009 - London, UK - The Underworld
24 April 2009 - Prestatyn, UK - Hammerfest
26 April 2009 - Leeds, UK - Rio's
27 April 2009 - Nottingham, UK - Rock City

With regards to the tour, OL DRAKE comments:

"Even though this is probably expected of us, I thought it only right for us
to confirm we'll be playing new material on our upcoming April UK/Ireland
tour, as we've been playing the same old songs for the past 8 million years!
See you all on the road soon!"

EVILE's debut album ENTER THE GRAVE was recently reissued as a special redux
edition, including a guitar pick, ENTER THE GRAVE patch and an exclusive
2-hour bonus DVD. Get your copy now in Europe at

OCEANO CHARTS AT #1 ON MYSPACE

OCEANO has lost band members, flipped vans and caused havoc everywhere
they go. For all the bad luck that the band has persevered through,
plenty of good has happened along the way. They were recently featured
in the Washington Post Express, who deemed their massive heaviness "as
disturbing as a tsunami" and in Revolver, who gave their April 7th
debut, DEPTHS a 3.5 out of 5 after calling it "unsparing in its
attack." They've also made a strong showing on the Sirius XM Liquid
Metal charts, having been ranked at number 15 for the last few weeks
with plenty of room to grow.

Another major positive happened today when the band was informed that
they were the number 1 "unsigned" death metal band on all of MySpace.
Not only that, but OCEANO charted at number 5 on the hardcore charts
and number 12 on the metal charts.

As a band who's successes have been made possible with the support of
their devoted MySpace following, this was a very sweet moment for the
them. So much so that guitarist Andrew Mikhail had this to say to all
of the band's friends on the site: "Thank you guys for your support,
small stuff like this means a lot! We realize we're signed, i dont
know why it says were unsigned but still awesome! Now lets show the
world how we all do it!"

http://earache.com/archive/oceano/MySpace_Feb2509_MetalChart.jpg

OCEANO has unveiled a brand new track from their forthcoming debut
release,
DEPTHS on their MySpace page. "A Mandatory Sacrifice" is a savagely-
growled number that takes you by the throat until the last bit of
riffage hacks and slashes its way through your guttural core. Listen
to this and 2 other songs from OCEANO's April 7th release, DEPTHS on
their official MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/xoceano

OCEANO has added more dates to their relentless, non-stop touring

THE BOY WILL DROWN ANNOUNCE FIRST SHOWS OUTSIDE OF UK, REVEAL ALBUM ART

New UK technical death metal sensations THE BOY WILL DROWN have confirmed a
small string of shows in mainland Europe with Germany's MINDTRAP.

The shows will be THE BOY WILL DROWN's very first outside of the UK and the
band are keen to make an impression at their first shows on foreign soil.

THE BOY WILL DROWN guitarist LIAM KEEL comments:

"We are all looking forward to getting out of the UK for the first time.
Playing Europe will be a fuckin' experience. We've been chatting to
Mindtrap a bit over the past few weeks and they seem top guys. I know we're
looking forward to partying with them, and Ed's looking to sink a few beers.
None of us obviously have a CLUE what the crowds are like over there but
hopefully they'll be nuts.

"We've got our first gig of the year coming up in early March and we're
hoping to blow a few people away and put a stop to a lot of the bitching
with our new material from the forthcoming album. We've been practising a
lot and we're gunna be tighter, heavier and faster than before... You've
been warned!"

BONDED BY BLOOD & THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD REMINISCE ABOUT THE NINJA TURTLES

Pomona, CA thrashers, BONDED BY BLOOD are noted fans of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles. So much so that the band recorded a raging cover
of the signature theme song from the popular animated series on their
debut album, FEED THE BEAST. Director James Rolfe, popular for his
Angry Video Game Nerd videos, has used BONDED BY BLOOD's cover to
great purpose as Rolfe and his friends wax nostalgic on the Ninja
Turtles on an online short that he had initially directed in 2003.

Entitled Generation: T.M.N.T. Rolfe and his pals talk about their
childhood love of the characters (and their corresponding action
figures) from the perspectives of present-day adulthood. Watch the

CAULDRON PLAY DEBUT UK SHOW AT ANVIL MOVIE PREMIERE

Toronto heavy metal heroes CAULDRON have played their first ever UK show -
but this was a show unlike any the band had ever played before.

Unlike the typical gig in a cramped, sweaty nightclub, the setting for
CAULDRON's first show on British soil is a much more spectacular one. The
band opened for fellow Canadian legends ANVIL at the top-secret premiere for
the new documentary movie, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", performing at the
screening infront of thousands of film critics, industry insiders, and a
handful of lucky fans.

CAULDRON frontman JASON DECAY, who has a brief appearance in the film,
describes the surreal event:

"On Sunday we played our first show in London at the Shepherd's Bush Empire,
it was big enough to get lost in and we fucken played with ANVIL our old
friends which was fucken awesome for our first show in London.

"We've played shows with Anvil before in Canada but none of them were as
huge as this. The shit hit the fan and the rice exploded all over the
place, even in the beer which disappeared. It was one big party, we got
rite fucked rite up drunk and we intend to do the same tomorrow in London at
our show with Gama Bomb. The show tomorrow will be our first full set on UK
soil and it should be great."

Check out a photo of CAULDRON together with ANVIL backstage at the premiere
at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/CauldronAnvil.jpg

CAULDRON's debut album, CHAINED TO THE NITE is due to be released through
Earache Records on April 6th, 2009.

CAULDRON recently made their Earache label debut on HEAVY METAL KILLERS - a
compilation featuring 13 new tracks from the very best bands of the emerging
"New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal" scene. HEAVY METAL KILLERS is out now
and is available on CD as well as limited edition vinyl LP in black, red,
blue and white while stocks last. Order your copy now at
http://earacheshop.com/store/newreleases.html

ORDER OF ENNEAD POST TOUR UPDATE

Floridian extreme metallers ORDER OF ENNEAD are getting used to living on
the road, having recently completed a trek around Europe on the Winterfest
2009 tour before returning to their homeland for the current "The Devil's
Advocate" US tour with DEICIDE, VITAL REMAINS and ADRIFT.

ORDER OF ENNEAD vocalist and guitarist KEVIN QUIRION recaps the first few
shows of the tour:

"The Devil's Advocate Feb US Tour

Day 1
This day just involved driving in a very cramped van with three bands in it.
A couple hours in we got a flat tire on the trailer and had to put gear on
the backseat to make it even more spacious (sarcasm). Glen and Steve did
the driving and we appreciate all Deicide has done for us.

Day 2
Got to the venue early so the gang head to Applebee's. John Li, Josh the
sound man, and myself head for Chinese. Show went well even though it
sounded horrible on stage and the lights were right in my face the entire
set. Some guys from Earache came to the show and only one of them
introduced themselves to me. What's up with that? I'm also selling merch
for Deicide so I didn't get to see any of the bands play tonight. Oh well,
blogs are made for bitching.

Day 3
Drove to Providence, RI. Found some cheap, but good calzones before the
show. The show was killer. Great crowd and our best merch day for any of
our shows so far. We'd love to go back and the owner of the club even
mentioned having us again. After our set I might have said something
negative about the NY Yankees, but I can't remember. Don't get mad NY, it's
only baseball. Oh yeah, GB got on stage with Vital to do Dechristianize
tonight, it was killer.

Day 4
After the show we drove all the way to Virginia because the Hartford show
got cancelled. It wasn't our fault, the promoter was shady and screwed up
the night. Upon arrival in VI, everyone got separate hotel rooms and I'd
see random people walking around during the evening. It's only been a
couple days, but we all needed a break from each other, in my opinion.
Scott and I downloaded Heroes and watched it. KILLER. John Li and I also
got some Magic The Gathering games in. He kicked my ass every time. I'll
have my revenge. If I can't beat him, I'll unplug his guitar on stage one
night.

Day 5
Got up and went to the venue early. Still had to wait around for the
promoter to get there. Crowd was cold for the first couple of bands. I had
to get them going before Vital and Deicide got up there tonight. By the end
of our set we had won over most of them. Couple guys renting a car tonight
and that will make the van a lot more spacious. Things are going well."

13 Feb 2009 - Mokena, IL - The Pearl Room

CAULDRON ANNOUNCE SPECIAL DEBUT UK SHOW

Canadian heavy metallers CAULDRON have announced a one-off UK show in London
next week with label-mates GAMA BOMB.

On Wednesday, 18th February CAULDRON will play the Old Blue Last in London
with GAMA BOMB and MUTANT. As this is their first excursion to London, UK -
having only played London, Canada before - CAULDRON singer JASON DECAY
enthuses:

"Well it's about fuckin' time! Yeah man, coming to the UK is a BIG deal for
us. It's the birthplace of metal! It's an honor and something I've been
waiting for since my bedroom wall first felt the wrath of a Kerrang poster
pull-out years back. That, and I've really been craving some Newcastle
Brown Ale which is quite expensive here in Canada, so I'm hoping it will be
considerably cheaper in the UK. Oh, and if nothing else comes from it,
it'll be a good opportunity to get a personal apology from the country for
Coldplay."

Check out the poster for the show at

CAULDRON release their debut album CHAINED TO THE NITE through Earache
Records on April 6th, 2009.

BONDED BY BLOOD VOCALIST COMMENTS ON MASTERS OF DISASTER TOUR, THE CLOSING OF METAL MANIACS

BONDED BY BLOOD will be playing their first cross-country shows on the
Masters of Disaster tour. Alongside fellow thrash acts, EXMORTUS and
WITCHAVEN, BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales looks to
take a little bit of the LA thrash scene to every town they play. As
the excitable frontman explains, "This is our first Full US tour and
we are really excited to play all over the US as more and more fans
seem to want us to play their hometown."

However as sweet as the tour is for each band on the bill, there is
always the inevitable sour. Metal Maniacs magazine, as has been
reported, has closed its doors. Before the esteemed metal institution
went out of business, they had lent their name as the main sponsor for
the tour. "Im honored and saddened that Metal Maniacs is sponsoring
this tour" says Jose, who elaborates his position. "I'm honored that
its a metal mag for metal fans that has always kept an eye out for
smaller bands and I'm saddened that they are closing their doors.
Thats one less mag of a scarce few there is that metal fan can get his
hands on."

Despite the bittersweet feelings that the closing of Metal Maniacs has
brought to the tour, all of the bands intend to keep the underground
spirit of the magazine alive by personally making sure that at each
show no head is left unbanged and each body has been throughly thrashed.

Disaster" tour.

OCEANO GUITARIST UPDATES ON CONDITION AND CURRENT TOUR

After losing a band member, getting involved in a van accident and
being forced to cancel a tour within a matter of weeks, other bands
might just falter under the weight. However, they don't call OCEANO
"heavyweights" for nothing. The band has soldiered on as a 4-piece,
currently touring with TOO PURE TO DIE and CATALEPSY.

Noting the amount of concern for bassist, Jason Jones, and
himself,resilient OCEANO guitarist guitarist, Andrew Mikhail notes
that "Jason's good, but I'm a bit worse off. I haven't fully recovered
from it — mentally or physically. My knee's still fucked, but we're
touring right now so it doesn't matter. Playing takes the pain away."

After the accident, the band was left with no van, no trailer and very
little cash. Knowing that their upcoming tour was a can't-miss, the
band was forced to get creative. "We didn't want to chance losing
another tour due to bad luck and bullshit so we got in (OCEANO
drummer) Danny's SUV and drove off."

"It's cramped;" said Mikhail, who is no stranger to the inconveniences
of touring in tight spaces, having survived traveling with a previous
band in a Ford Focus. "It's uncomfortable driving in it, but at least
it's easier on gas." With very little room to spare in the SUV, OCEANO
was not able to bring their entire setup, foregoing all of their gear
for band essentials like clothing, toiletries and merch to sell at
every show. The band also has some help from their friends in TOO PURE
TO DIE and CATALEPSY, who have been sharing their gear with them
throughout the tour. According to the OCEANO guitarist, Mikhail,
"everyone's been real cool about letting us use their shit."

Through out all of this, OCEANO have proved that not only are they
"the heaviest, most pissed off band on the planet," but they are also
the most resilient. There is nothing that can stop them from 'bringin
the beef' to crowds every single night.

MUNICIPAL WASTE TO RECORD NEW ALBUM IN MARCH

EARACHE recording artists, MUNICIPAL WASTE are set to start work on
recording their new, yet to be titled album this March at Red Planet
Studios in their hometown of Richmond, VA. The album will be produced
by Zeuss, who had produced the band's last album, THE ART OF PARTYING.

The writing process for the new record is almost complete and the band
is excited about bringing new ideas to the table. Frontman Tony
Foresta comments: "So far the song writing is coming off a lot more
aggressive than our previous efforts." Drummer Dave Witte agrees:
"This set of new songs are challenging and super fun to play, we
turned up the aggressive and speed knobs while keeping the good time
intact."

THE ART OF PARTYING was released in 2007 to great reviews and hailed
the dawn of of the most intense shows that MUNICIPAL WASTE shows have
played throughout World. Looking ahead, Tony Foresta is enthused about
the direction that the band's writing has taken them on the new album:
"I think it is a definite change from our last 2 albums. Nothing super
drastic, but a positive change. The WASTE is still all about having a
good time. But I think we all agreed on writing something a bit more
pissed off and different with this album, Instead of going ahead and
writing the same album all over again. But don't fear were not getting
"artistic" or any bullshit like that. We've just been listening to a
lot more Poison Idea and NWOBHM and I feel it might show a bit with
this next album."

The band have announced 3 song titles which promises to entirely new
levels of intensity and insanity in a style that is pure WASTE :
