GAMA BOMB REVEALS ALBUM ART, SONG TITLES FOR 'TALES FROM THE GRAVE IN SPACE'
Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB are set to release their new album, TALES FROM THE
GRAVE IN SPACE, next week in its entirety for free.
GRAVE IN SPACE, next week in its entirety for free.
TALES FROM THE GRAVE IN SPACE will be available to download, including
artwork and powered by RapidShare, from November 5th completely free at
http://www.earache.com/gamabomb
The artwork for TALES FROM THE GRAVE IN SPACE was created by artist JEFF
JORDAN (THE MARS VOLTA) and can be viewed at
http://earacherecords.com/myspace/TalesFromTheGraveInSpace.jpg
GAMA BOMB frontman PHILLY BYRNE explains the concept:
"The cover of Tales from the Grave in Space has a backstory to it, which
sort of sprung into my mind one night. It's inspired by this
semi-conspiracy theory about what are called the Lost Cosmonauts, real-life
experimental space pilots sent up secretly by the USSR in the 1950s and
early '60s.
"Two brothers in northern Italy had an amateur spacecraft tracking station
and picked up some of the earliest signals from the space race. In 1960,
they reportedly heard a faint SOS signal moving away from the Earth into
space. It's been speculated that a man was sent up by the USSR in a
converted R-5A rocket and instead of crash-landing back to earth, he just
kept going.
"That's where the (wobbly) facts end, but it really sparked my imagination.
If it's true, that means this year he's the first human to cross the
boundary of our solar system into interstellar space. He's perfectly
frozen, all alone, shooting at 18,000 miles per hour into deep space. It
made me think: doesn't his distance from Earth mean he's the most likely
object, if any, to be found by another race, or civilisation, or presence,
or something?
"So I spun this whole alien-Cosmonaut story from it. The cover of the album
shows this lost cosmonaut, attached by living tentacles to this vast,
abstract piece of masonry in space - it's The Grave of the title, designed
by Jeff Jordan. It's a sort of 'Doctor Who-meets-Arthur C. Clark' thing, an
alien object that absorbs whatever it encounters. So it's got our
Cosmonaut, it's sustaining him and sort of keeping him alive - but what
would it learn from him, and what could he tell it?
"Well, for a start, he'd tell it where Earth is, and that Soviet supermen
should rule the world, and maybe they should head back there together and
make it happen. Now that's scary. Luckily when I brought this idea to the
rest of the lads, they thought it was cool and summed up the buzz of the
title and songs well, and didn't call me a lunatic!"
PHILLY BYRNE comments on the art:
"The brilliant Jeff Jordan really outdid himself on this, and we're really
proud to have worked with him. He took inspiration from classic pulp and
sci-fi artists like Virgil Finlay, mixed it with the themes you find in
1950s horror comics like Tales From The Crypt and came out with something
totally authentic and mind-blowing! It was then designed into an album
cover by Rory McGuigan, who gave it this excellent, Hammer Horror movie
poster vibe. We couldn't be happier with it or more grateful to those guys.
This represents the sound of our music perfectly: when you look at this,
you're seeing inside GAMA BOMB's brain."
The song titles which are set to appear on the album - in no particular
order - are:
Polterghost
Skeletron
Last Ninjas Unite
New Eliminators of Atlantis B.C.
Escape From Scarecrow Mountain
Return to Blood Castle
We Respect You
Slam Anthem
Mummy Invasion
Three Witches
Mussolini Mosh
Apocalypse 1997

OCEANO GUITARIST INTERVIEWED ON METALSUCKS
Over 2 weeks ago, the illustrious website known to many as MetalSucks fired writer Gary Suarez over his controversial and overwhelmingly positive review of OCEANO's debut album, DEPTHS. In it, Suarez deemed the Billboard Heatseekers-charting debut "irreproachable." and gave it the outstanding score of 5/5.
After a show of force by the MetalSucks community as well as several members of OCEANO and their management, Gary Suarez was let back onto the site last Friday as a special guest editor for the day. One of the first pieces he posted upon his return to the site was an in depth interview with OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail. In it, he talks about OCEANO's relationship with WHITECHAPEL, his opinion on downloading and his response to OCEANO's "deathcore" subgenre tag:
"We're very happy with the results from "Depths" this year. For a debut album it has exceeded our expectations and couldn't be more happier. Not much to say there, but music wise, I'd classify oceano as death metal music with a hardcore mentality. We play death metal influenced music with the passion that you only get from hardcore music and performance. But, for convenience sake we've come to terms with the term "deathcore" when being described on print or such. I'd just consider us metal for even more convenience! (Insert metal elitist comments below, because we SUPPOSEDLY "don't know what REAL metal is" huh)"
You can find Gary Suarez's full interview with OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail at http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/10/23/oceanos-andrew-mikhail-gets-deep/#more-23173
That same day, the fan favorite ex-GOD FORBID guitarist, Dallas Coyle glowingly praised OCEANO in his regular feature, "The Hard R":
"This is a band that should be listened to in the context of their full album. The video song "District Of Misery" has some very cool things going on melodically. Speaking of brutal vocals, who ever this dude is, it sounds like he's gargling fucking Brillo pads while having some sort of bacterial infection after eating some dirty whore's ass for a week. Brutal. If you disagree, check out "A Mandatory Sacrifice" and listen to his vocal at 3:28. God. Damn. Brutal."

EVILE - LIQUID METAL PAYS TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL ALEXANDER THIS WEEKEND ON SIRIUS 27/XM 42
The staff of Sirius XM's Liquid Metal were all crushed to hear about the untimely passing of EVILE bassist, Michael Alexander.

EVILE'S OL DRAKE TO GUEST WITH DESTRUCTION IN HONOUR OF MIKE ALEXANDER
German thrash titans DESTRUCTION will dedicate their set at Damnation
Festival in Leeds, UK to EVILE bassist Mike Alexander, who tragically passed
away on October 5th, 2009 while on tour in Sweden. The festival will take
place at Leeds University Union this Saturday, 24th October. EVILE lead
guitarist Ol Drake will make a guest appearance on guitar with DESTRUCTION,
to play some of Mike's favourite DESTRUCTION tracks with the band. Ol Drake
also recently filled in on guitar for DESTRUCTION at Portugal's Caos
Emergente festival.
Festival in Leeds, UK to EVILE bassist Mike Alexander, who tragically passed

guitarist Ol Drake will make a guest appearance on guitar with DESTRUCTION,
to play some of Mike's favourite DESTRUCTION tracks with the band. Ol Drake
also recently filled in on guitar for DESTRUCTION at Portugal's Caos
Emergente festival.
Ol Drake comments:
"Mike was a huge Destruction fan. It'll be a great way to pay tribute to
him by jamming some of his favourite Destruction songs with Schmier, Marc
and Mike. Throughout playing with Evile, Mike was always cautiously calm
about exciting things. "Mike, we're touring with Megadeth!" - "Oh, cool".
"Mike, we're touring with Exodus!" - "Oh, cool". I just knew he jumped
around like a child when he got home, but when I called him to say I'm
playing a show with Destruction in Portugal he went "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
WHOAAAA, you bastard! Wow!"
"I got to pass on one of Schmier's picks from him to Mike before the last
tour and it made his day. Thank you to Destruction for wanting to dedicate
their next set to Mike and for letting me jam some songs in his honour."
DESTRUCTION bassist and vocalist Schmier comments:
"Ol Drake became a very close friend to the band since he helped us out
after the broken finger affair. When I heard that Mike Alexander died I was
speechless and shocked. I had to sit down. The world never was a fair
place. This again was a situation that shows how fast everything can be
over and out. Mike Alexander was such a positive and funny guy, his band on
the way to the top, a fucking shame and a tragedy.
"Evile and Destruction thought it would be a cool thing to dedicate the
Destruction gig in Leeds this weekend at the Damnation festival to Mike
Alexander. We will jam his fave Destruction tunes with Ol on the second
guitar. We are sure Mike would have loved this - a memorable way for us to
remember a lost friend! Rock in peace brother!"
DESTRUCTION will play on the Jagermeister stage at 7:30pm this Saturday,
24th October at Damnation festival, Leeds. For more info go to
http://www.damnationfestival.co.uk or http://www.destruction.de
EVILE will be unveiling a tribute site to Mike Alexander shortly and will
welcome comments, memories and photos. Donations are welcome for Mike's
children and family via http://www.ukthrash.co.uk courtesy of UKthrash.co.uk
and Wiseblood Management.

'GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC' 3-DISC COMPILATION OUT NOW IN EUROPE
GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC (THE EARACHE PEEL SESSIONS), a special 3-disc,
118-track grindcore compilation featuring some of the first ever grindcore
recordings, is out now in Europe for the price of just one regular CD.
118-track grindcore compilation featuring some of the first ever grindcore
recordings, is out now in Europe for the price of just one regular CD.
GRIND MADNESS AT THE BBC features tracks taken from the legendary JOHN
PEEL's early BBC radio sessions, which were recorded at the Maida Vale
studios in London, UK between 1987 and 1990, marking a historic moment in
the world of extreme music.
From the earliest days of Earache Records, JOHN PEEL was a huge supporter of
the label and its extreme bands, offering some of them the chance to lay
down some tracks for his national UK radio show. In subsequent years, bands
such as NAPALM DEATH and CARCASS have credited PEEL with kick-starting their
careers.
Now, Earache Records has obtained the rights from the BBC to release these
groundbreaking radio sessions in their entirety for the first time. The
3-disc set comes in a deluxe digipak and features 118 tracks of classic
recordings from NAPALM DEATH, CARCASS, BOLT THROWER, EXTREME NOISE TERROR,
GODFLESH, HERESY, UNSEEN TERROR and INTENSE DEGREE, combining to a running
total of over three and a half hours of pure grind.

WHITE WIZZARD GUITARIST, ERIK KLUIBER INTERVIEWED ON METALSUCKS
WHITE WIZZARD guitarist, Erik Kluiber was interviewed by MetalSucks' Vince Neilstein while the band was in New York City to play their first-ever show on the east coast. Over the course of the in-depth interview, Erik touches upon his love for Detroit, MI (his hometown), big cities, his old bands and how he risked it all by moving from Detroit to Los Angeles to join WHITE WIZZARD:
"Well, in November, I started to scout Craigslist and the first place I went to [on Craigslist] was Los Angeles. One of the first listings I read was for White Wizzard. I saw the video for High Speed GTO and immediately became a fan. It was in the back of my mind, and I started learning a couple of tunes like High Speed GTO and Octane Gypsy and taught them to my students. I was in the band Overloaded, and things fizzled out. I was like, "You know what? Now is the time if I got the balls to go for it." I figured that they had somebody because it had been about 2 months. Fortunately for me, they hadn't. So I did a YouTube audition, and Jon [Leon, bass] liked it. I flew out and did a live audition. I did it secretively. I had a lot of options, so now was the time to figure it out. It worked out great. I said "give me 48 hours to give you the decision," because you know, it's a big fucking decision. Then I was like "let's do it, let's sell everything I own," and I drove out in a Ford Ranger to be a part of White Wizzard."

EVILE STATEMENT - MIKE ALEXANDER
Michael Alexander - 22.06.77 - 05.10.09
Sadly, just a few days into their European tour with Amon Amarth, Evile's
Mike Alexander was suddenly taken ill and rushed to hospital, but tragically
passed away in Lulea, Sweden.
Evile members Matt Drake, Ol Drake and Ben Carter have released the
following statement:
"This is so hard to find the words to express fully how we feel. We can't
believe or accept what's happened. One minute we're talking to our buddy,
Mike, the next minute we can never speak to him again.
There's so many things rushing through our heads that we want to say, do and
feel. We half expect him to come round the corner and call us 'dickheads'.
We can't get our heads around it.
It upsets us so much that he was away from his family when this happened,
although knowing Mike, we're at least glad he was on tour doing what he
loves.
We're lost for words. We all miss him so much already. He was such a
headstrong, genuinely nice guy who loved music and his family. We've got so
many brilliant memories with him.
Our hearts go out to his daughter, family and friends at this tragic,
difficult time.
Mike is much loved and is sorely missed.
Rest in peace, brother."
