BONDED BY BLOOD - OVER 150 LIVE PICTURES FROM EVERETT, MA SHOW ON RETURNTOTHEPIT.COM

ReturnToThePit.com has posted over 150 brand new photos from Pomona,

gig in Everett, MA. View these high impact shots by going to http://www.returntothepit.com/concert.php?date=2009-03-29&band=bonded_by_blood

BONDED BY BLOOD had a lot to say about their Everett, MA gig on their
ongoing MySpace tour blog:

"So after getting lost trying to find the statue of liberty we decide
to go to Boston. We get to celtic land and end up at a Wendys. We stay
there most of the night until its time to load in. We play at a small
but bad ass place where Ravage rehearses. at first it seems like no
one was going to be ther but as the night gets younger the people keep
walking in. Drummer of Into Eternity shows up randomly whis is pretty
damn cool. I start unpacking all the merch and start drinking. This
night i got very damn drunk. It was 10 bucks to get in and unlimited
beer. 2 big monster kegs. I start going up and Silent Violence from
New Hampshire is up. They are very fucking metal with a punk twist. I
digged them im glad they got the show started. Up next was Razormaze.
I had heard so much great stuff about them and I thought their myspace
stuff was fantastic. They were one fo the greats of the night no joke
balls out fucking metal. I became really good friends with Alex of
Razormaze and possible westcoast tour is in the works. After them it
was Ravage who are new to the Metalblade roster. They were very power
thrash. Enjoyed their set as i went off to get more drunk. Witchvane
was up next but i couldnt catch most of their set or Exmortus due to a
Razormaze interview i took part of. I got to meet Tom from Lich King
and he was a funny guy. We go on stage and the place goes wild. People
are killing each other as i watch. Boston is a fucking blast.
Razormaze became great friends with us. WESTCOAST-EASTCOAST LOVE. I
LOVE BOSTON WE WILL BE BACK!!"

OCEANO IS "HAPPENING NOW" IN THIS WEEK'S ISSUE OF BILLBOARD

With the release of OCEANO's highly anticipated debut album, DEPTHS just over a week away, the buzz on Chicago's deathcore heavyweights is amping up considerably. Already a #1 death metal act on MySpace, the band reached a #4 position on Last.FM's "Hype List" last week. Upping the ante on those two achievements, however, the band has now amassed an even more monumental one for a band as young and extreme as theirs by being featured in the pages of the most respected trade magazine in the music industry, Billboard.

OCEANO appears in the magazine's spotlight for artists on the rise. It is a section called "Happening Now." In the sizable piece, Billboardwriter Christa Titus explores the circumstances surrounding OCEANO becoming one of the most hotly buzzed young metal bands today. The feature also includes quotes from OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail and EARACHE U.S. Label Manager, Al Dawson who go beyond the hype and prove that beneath the angry exterior lies a hard working and extremely talented band who've earned every bit of buzz that has followed them.

OCEANO's "Happening Now" feature can be seen in this week's (April 4th) edition of Billboard and can be found on newsstands now. You can also read the feature in full here: http://earache.com/archive/oceano/Billboard_Apr409_HappeningNow.jpg

OCEANO's official MySpace page was recently relaunched with a brand
new design, brand new videos, links, photos and more. See it for
yourself at http://www.myspace.com/xoceano

Due to be released on April 7th, the limited edition version of
OCEANO's debut album, DEPTHS features 13 of the heaviest, chunkiest
cuts of no holds barred metal you'll ever hear, plus 2 exclusive bonus
tracks and the "Into The Depths" DVD which includes a look into the
lives of OCEANO both in and out of the studio.

View the trailer for the "Into the Depths" bonus DVD here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZw4jgxvApA

WHITE WIZZARD SIGNS TO EARACHE RECORDS

WHITE WIZZARD, LA's high-energy, NWOBHM-influenced metallers - who could be
described as a cross between DIAMOND HEAD and VAN HALEN - have signed a
worldwide, multi-album deal with Earache Records.

WHITE WIZZARD formed in 2007 and shortly afterwards recorded their HIGH
SPEED GTO demo, which only made it into the hands of a few select fans.
Following a brief period of inactivity, the demo fell into the hands of
Earache Records and the "High Speed GTO" song was included on HEAVY METAL
KILLERS, a compilation featuring 13 tracks from the best new
traditional-sounding heavy metal bands. The band have since regrouped
around band leader JON LEON with a new line-up. Earache is set to release
the HIGH SPEED GTO tracks as a mini-album this Summer, with the band working
towards a full album due later in the year.

WHITE WIZZARD's 2009 debut is driven by catchy riffs that aim straight for
the hips and the heart. The band is lighter than the norm - there's a
nimbleness to the WHITE WIZZARD attack and genuine commercial hooks race
through all seven songs on the HIGH SPEED GTO mini-album.

Bassist and main-man JON LEON comments on the band's signing:

"Earache is an important label in the history of metal music and has always
been visionary. I think there is no metal fan out there that does not know
Earache as being one of the most recognizable and important labels in the
genre. Though my band harkens back to the older singer/songwriter melodic
metal, Earache is expanding and growing and I am sure the same success will
be had with many more of the new and up-and-coming bands."

BONDED BY BLOOD ANNOUNCE FREE NEW YORK CITY SHOW ON MARCH 28

Pomona, CA's BONDED BY BLOOD will be bringing the gift of FREE thrash
when they, alongside their Masters of Disaster tourmates EXMORTUS and
WITCHAVEN play a very special show at The Water Grill in Brooklyn, NY
on Saturday, March 28th at 7pm. It's special, not only for it being
BONDED BY BLOOD's first NY appearance, but also because admission is
COMPLETELY FREE.

"We're all real psyched to be playing in NYC for the first time;" says
the excited BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales. "A
bunch of our favorite thrash bands started there. Spider Man lives
there and now we're coming with a gift for all our NY fans who've been
dying to see us." That gift is that of a FREE show. With the crowd
being able to save money due to no admission fee, Barrales suggests
that they instead invest it in pizza. "Everyone should buy pizza. We
want to throw the world's largest thrash pizza party."

CAULDRON - "FRESH BLOOD" INTERVIEW ON THE GAUNTLET

Jason Decay, frontman of Canadian heavy metal heroes, CAULDRON has an
introductory feature up on TheGauntlet.com. The concise and
personality-driven "Fresh Blood" interview gives insight into the
growing traditional metal scene and sneak peeks into both EARACHE's
upcoming New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal album, HEAVY METAL
KILLERS, as well as CAULDRON's debut full length, CHAINED TO THE NITE.
Though you might not get that info through questions and answers like
these:

"Q:If you have to die a true "rock n roll" death of your choosing …..
what would it be?
A:Excellent question. Realistically, I'd like to go out in some sort
of time-travel mishap. Maybe I could be in a 3some with Lee Aaron and
an alternate time version of myself and when we give each other high -
five or some shit, we both fuckin blow up in a green mist or
something. Fuckin you know, the principal that the same matter can't
occupy the same space!? Like in TIME COP, assholes! Yeah, that's how I
wanna go out. I mean, its either going to be that or a few too many
drinks out in the woods."

Read The Gauntlet's entire "Fresh Blood" interview with Jason Decay of
CAULDRON at http://www.thegauntlet.com/freshblood.php?id=1

CAULDRON makes their EARACHE debut on the March 24th release of HEAVY
METAL KILLERS. This tremendous compilation (which just hit radio as
the #3 most added metal album on FMQB) is a can't-miss showcase of the
greatest young acts in the world today who have created an entirely
new scene of traditional heavy metal. It features bands like WHITE
WIZZARD, POWERVICE and ENFORCER. For fans who miss the glory days of
bands like IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST and DIAMOND HEAD or for fans who
never even lived through those glory days in the first place, this
compilation is for you! With guitar god solos, soaring vocals and
melodic riffs, HEAVY METAL KILLERS marks a whole new beginning for
traditional heavy metal the way it ought to be.

Visit the US EARACHE WEBSTORE for HEAVY METAL KILLERS pre-orders,
limited edition vinyls and special packages: http://tinyurl.com/cqoq7r

CAULDRON recently played their first UK show and it was a show to
remember. Unlike the typical gig in a cramped, sweaty nightclub, the
setting for the band'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, critically acclaimed documentary
movie, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil", performing at the screening in
front of thousands of film critics, industry insiders, and a handful
of lucky fans. The band has played numerous shows with ANVIL and
frontman Jason Decay even makes a brief appearance in the film, so it
felt just like home to them, only bigger.

premiere

INSECT WARFARE - "GRINDCORE, PERFECTED" INTERVIEW UP ON CRAVE ONLINE

So much has been made of INSECT WARFARE in the underground. Their
reputation for playing what many believe to be the rawest, most
chaotically honest approach to Grindcore ever has earned them quite
the legacy for a group that had not been around for too long. Why so
beloved? Iann Robinson of Crave Online explains: "One band who
perfected the craft of Grindcore was INSECT WARFARE a band that
savagely tore away at the frayed seems of established extreme music,
attempting to burn the entire idea down before they broke up last year."

Iann recently got to speak with INSECT WARFARE about what makes them
so beloved, the band's modern classic, WORLD EXTERMINATION and the
state of Grindcore today:

"CO: So much new Grindcore is essentially glorified Death Metal. Why
do you think newer bands can't capture the spirit of Grindcore?

IW: Shitty slick production and awful Photoshop artwork. That's why
most grind bands today suck."

Read Iann Robinson's full interview at http://www.craveonline.com/articles/music/04653202/insect_warfare_grindcore_perfected.html

INSECT WARFARE - WORLD EXTERMINATION is out in the US on March 24th.

BONDED BY BLOOD BLOGS BEER, BUTTS AND BOREDOM

Have you been keeping up with BONDED BY BLOOD's daily tour blog on
MySpace? If not, you're missing out on some fun stories such as this
one:

"3/9/2009 Tucson Az-Vaudville
I wake up around 12 pm to round up the troops and leave Chandler AZ.
We didnt end up leaving till 5 pm ended up in Tucson @ about 7 pm. We
play yet another 21 and over bar. Those places seem to love BBB haha.
We get there and they feed us some pizza. Show does not start till 9
pm. We played with a band named Astaroth. They were pretty cool
dudeds. didnt really get to see all their set since i was out fixing
shit in our trailer. Only thing i can really tell you is that they
were cool dudes and they played black metal. I finally got to meet
some friends ive kept in touched with through myspace that lived in
Tucson. Everyone kept telling me how there is no metal sceen in
tucsona nd how it sucks to play out there. I honestly enjoyed my time
while we were there. Not the best turn out of the tour so far but
great energetic crowd for sure. Witchaven was right after the locals
and they killed. Exmortus went up and had a great set even did a cover
of Chemical Warfare, We went up to set up and tried our best to thropw
on a great show for the few that were there. We finished the night and
enede up at a after party in a nearby neighborhood, This was a
tottatally insane experince. people were jumping on each other yelling
out PARTY really loud and some dude even headbutted a window. Night
ended when cops came and told us to fuck off. That was the conclusion
of our stay in AZ and it was off to NEW MEXICO where we had a long
talk about sex and feces. more on that on the next blog!
Quote of the day for Tucson "Hey asshole come back i have clothes on"-
Cairy"

MUNICIPAL WASTE RECORDING NEW ALBUM, "MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE"

MUNICIPAL WASTE, recently named one of 2009's up and coming bands by
Billboard magazine, have reached the halfway point in recording their
new album, titled MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, tentatively scheduled for an
August 2009 release on EARACHE RECORDS. The band are recording the
album at Red Planet Studios in Richmond, VA with acclaimed producer
Zeuss (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), who also produced the band's previous
album, 2007's THE ART OF PARTYING.

MUNICIPAL WASTE guitarist Ryan Waste reports from the studio with his
thoughts on the album and the recording process so far:

"We're in the middle of blazing out the new tracks from MASSIVE
AGGRESSIVE. I'm really proud of the speed picking on the new record. I
finish up my rhythms tomorrow and I'm pumped to celebrate after some
gruelling nights in the studio. Zeuss is spot on for this record and
we are thankful to have him in our neck of the woods this around."

"For MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE we are striving to capture elements from both
traditional heavy metal and hardcore punk. When combined, the two
genres can become a lethal formula. We're not afraid to bridge the
gap on this one."

Already having finished his drums, Dave Witte reflects on the
recording experience and what's in store for fans:

"This record is definitely shaping up to be the best we've done
easily, I've already banged out all my tracks in 1 & 1/2 days and am
totally pleased with the outcome...I think our fans are going to be
psyched with this record and I can't wait to play these songs live!"

Finally, vocalist, Tony Foresta comments on his studio time and why
his performance on MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE will be his best yet:

"I have about 3 songs left of vocals. I'm really happy with how things
are turning out. Zeuss has been pushing me really hard this time
around and I think it will show when the record is completed."

parts for MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE:

GAMA BOMB REPORT FROM KILLFEST TOUR

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB have been out on the road for the past couple of
weeks with two of the biggest names in thrash, OVERKILL and EXODUS.

As the tour nears its end, GAMA BOMB frontman PHILLY BYRNE comments on the
adventure:

"Hello from the gutter! Our feet haven't touched the ground since this tour
started: we spent last night trading Irish jokes with Bobby Blitz and
drinking with Exodus while the barmaids free-poured Irish whiskey for us,
and that's pretty much what every night's been like. Though it's a short
tour, Killfest is one of the best packages to hit the road in years:
Overkill, Exodus and Torture Squad have been ripping every night and we've
seen some of the biggest bangers in Europe come out to see us.

"It's a great learning experience to watch such legends in close quarters

OCEANO DEBUTS TRAILER FOR "DEPTHS" BONUS DVD

MySpace's #1 "unsigned" death metal band, OCEANO have released the
trailer to the bonus DVD that will come with their highly anticipated
April 7th debut, DEPTHS. From what is seen in the trailer, the DVD
promises a look the full OCEANO experience, raw and uncut. From the
DEPTHS recording sessions to the band goofing around in their off
time, the DVD will give access to a side of OCEANO that exists beyond
the violence and audience fights have have long been a staple of the
band's live set. Speaking of which, there will be a great amount of
live footage to be found, including lots of mosh action and a never
before seen angle on the infamous Ohio skate park fight.

View the trailer for the DEPTHS bonus DVD here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZw4jgxvApA

OCEANO spent last weekend in Los Angeles, CA where they shot a music
video for the lead single off of their April 7th debut album DEPTHS,
entitled "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 was
shot in a converted LA warehouse and will see OCEANO playing the song
alongside a twisted photographic interpretation of each lyrical line
as it is growled.

OCEANO GUITARIST COMMENTS ON MAKING THE "DISTRICT OF MISERY" MUSIC VIDEO

OCEANO spent last weekend in Los Angeles, CA where they shot a music
video for the lead single off of their April 7th debut album DEPTHS,
entitled "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 was
shot in a converted LA warehouse and if the band's energy translates
as they think it will to the screen then this is going to be one
darkly intense video.

"It went well;" said the exhausted OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail.
"It was an 11 hour shoot and we were rocking out for each of those
hours like it we were playing a show." For those who have seen the
band live, they'd know that what the band had to do was no small feat.
Stretching the energy usually saved for a 30-45 performance to 11
hours requires a great deal of stamina for any band. In the end OCEANO
pulled it off well, but not without casualties. As the lofty
guitarist, Mikhail states, "We were all hurt pretty bad by the end of
the shoot. I got this big knot in my forearm near the end of the day
and Danny was in every shot, blasting for 11 hours straight. We were
all sweaty and sore by the end of it. Luckily we were rewarded with
enough energy drinks, vitamin water, booze and ibuprofen to go around."

The video itself will see OCEANO playing the song alongside a twisted
photographic interpretation of each lyrical line as it is growled.
Being the only politically driven song on DEPTHS, "District of
Misery's" lyrics deal with the government and the existence of secret
societies within. "We play near a bunch of weird images that have to
do with the illuminati;" says Mikhail, who adds "There are a lot of
religious overtones in the video, too."

"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 17 on the Liquid Metal playlist). Go to http://www.sirius.com/liquidmetal
and DEMAND that they play it!
