SSS WISH YOU A "MERRY CHRISTMASSS" WITH FREE CHRISTMAS SONG

Santa Claus has read your list, and this year will make your biggest wish
come true - British crossover thrashers SSS have released a free Christmas
song!

The Liverpool thrashers have taken a moment out of getting knee-deep in
mince pies to think of others at this festive time of year and to give you
all a special treat with their brand new, free Christmas song, "Merry
ChristmaSSS".

Join in the festive frolics, SSS style, and download the track for free at
http://rapidshare.com/files/321679834/SSS_-_Merry_ChristmaSSS.mp3

You can also hear the track on the band's MySpace page at
http://www.myspace.com/shortsharpshockuk

View an image with the lyrics, full of seasonal cheer, at
http://earacherecords.com/myspace/SSS_MerryChristmaSSS_Lyrics.jpg

Earache Records caught up with SSS frontman Foxy to quiz him about all
things Christmas:

Q: Why have you done a free Christmas song?

Foxy: "We are following in the footsteps of some of the greatest Christmas
songs ever written from yesteryear - Slade, Wizzard, Bing Crosby, Nat King
Cole, Shakin Stevens, FEAR and Band Aid - that have all placed themselves
firmly in our hearts and on cheap Christmas compilation CDs at this time of
year. Now here's our meagre festive rattler that will be played for years
to come at family discos and shake the false teeth from all our nans'
heads."

Q: Did you enjoy Christmas as a kid?

Foxy: "What's not to like about Christmas when you are a kid? A time when
there was actual snow at Christmas. Being the first in the yard and lining
up snowballs to lob at your mates and teachers. Skidding in one strip on
the ice until the caretaker dumps grit on it. Making cards, crackers (out
of a toilet roll), cotton wool snowmen and calendars. Mucking around as a
king in the nativity play and changing the words to the carols, "While
shepherds wash their socks night...". Bringing toys in on the last day of
term was always a doss. A big countdown to a day you thought wouldn't ever
come, so you get to your pit early, try to sleep, then wake up with a
stocking on the end of your bed full with all sorts of stuff, mosh into all
your presents and play out the front of your house, get cold, then back for
your dinner and watch Star Wars. Then play with everything properly on
boxing day. Bingo.

"As you got older, what was a bit of fun at the end of the year, I found out
it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Laced with the highly dubious
undertone of supernatural religion coupled with the fact my Mum worked
herself to the bone to get us presents and not some obscure Greek bishop who
lived in Turkey, that has a Dutch name and was supposed to deliver free
presents to the world all in one night to all the good boys and girls. Once
that penny dropped, I unsubscribed."

Q: Are you a bit of a scrooge?

Foxy: "I enjoy this time of year as the winter season, the freezing cold,
the early nights and to bring some light in the darkest time of the year,
reflecting on the year and looking forward to the forthcoming one. I'm up
for that.

"I just don't like or enjoy the way that it's been turned into an
obligation, a pious deception, a time of over-consumption, bickering and
waste. The materials to make and deliver 10 million Christmas cards is off
the scale. 7.75 million trees to be cut down to prop up fairies for 2
weeks, 10 million turkeys will roast into oblivion, wasting 3,000 tons of
foil in the cooking process. In excess of 20 billion will be used on credit
cards with many families turning to high interest and "doorstep lenders" to
cover any shortfall. 135,000 tons of waste plastic alone, waste wrapping
paper (82km^2) to wrap up Guernsey in, with a high proportion ending in a
landfill as opposed to being recycled. What's worse than this type of
Christmas? On some levels Scrooge was right."

Q: What do you eat on Christmas day?

Foxy: "A souped up Sunday dinner that becomes a Christmas dinner. The king
of dinners. 8 types of veg including parsnips roasted in golden syrup,
stuffing, yorkshire puds, bread sauce, cranberry sauce, apple sauce! Not
into roast potatoes mind. 2 Linda Mc pies. Home made Christmas pudding for
afters. Home made mince pies and coffee. Just no dead stuff on my plate
and no booze in my pudding either. A small meagre feast within my means
without going overboard. Less is more. Merry ChristmaSSS everybody."

Catch "Merry ChristmaSSS" and other brand new songs this Thursday, 17th
December at the Purple Turtle in London where SSS will be performing at the
Earache Christmas party. Find more information at

EVILE ANNOUNCES NEW BASSIST

British thrashers EVILE have revealed the identity of their new bassist, who
joins the band following the tragic and untimely death of their late
bassist, Mike Alexander.

Mike Alexander passed away on October 5th, 2009 while the band was on tour
in Sweden.

EVILE members Matt Drake, Ol Drake and Ben Carter have released the
following statement:

"This has been one of the most bizarre and surreal tasks we've ever had to
undertake. It isn't like Mike has decided to leave the band and we're
simply finding a new bass player, he was taken from us, and we were forced
to replace him. In effect we had to look for a new Mike, but that would
never happen. He was one of a kind, and we'll never forget him.

"We had hundreds upon hundreds of emails from bass players from around the
world (though we can only realistically have a bassist from the UK), and we
want to thank everyone for taking the time out to contact us, and the people
who came to jam with us. We only had a certain amount of time to actually
audition/jam with bass players before the upcoming tours, to get time in for
rehearsing the songs, getting visas sorted etc.

"Our new bass player goes by the name Joel Graham. He's an excellent,
experienced bass player, and a really nice guy. We'd all appreciate it if
you gave him a warm welcome to the band, as this must be a bizarre situation
for him to be in also. We'll be getting some photos taken with him soon so
you can see us with Joel, we just wanted to get the news out there that we
have a new bassist, and that we thank each and every person for auditioning.
Mike would be honoured at the amount of respect and admiration you expressed
to us through contacting us."

EVILE are set to kick off a headlining European tour in January. The
"Infecting Nations" tour will start with a run of UK shows, before the band
heads off to mainland Europe. Joining EVILE on the tour will be American
thrashers WARBRINGER and Israel's THE FADING.

ANNIHILATOR SIGNS TO EARACHE RECORDS FOR EUROPE

Earache Records is very proud to announce the signing of Canadian thrash
metal pioneers ANNIHILATOR to a European deal.

Since releasing their classic ALICE IN HELL debut in 1989, ANNIHILATOR has
consistently played heads-down, no-frills metal, led by guitar virtuoso JEFF
WATERS.

Now, in 2009, Earache is proud to welcome one of the originators of the
whole melodic-thrash style to it's roster, with a brand new (13th) studio
album set to be released in the new year. A selection of back catalogue
albums are also due to be released at a later date.

ANNIHILATOR guitarist and main-man JEFF WATERS comments:

"Finding a label home for Annihilator in Europe has never been difficult.
Finding a good, professional and stable one, that really knows metal, is
another matter. We found one! Earache and Annihilator are going to make a
great metal team and I can't think of anyone else that should be putting the
new Annihilator CD out but them! See you all in 2010!"

Earache Records label manager DAN TOBIN adds:

"Annihilator have continually flown the flag for metal in general and thrash
in particular for many years, and with Jeff Waters at the helm have produced
some of the most innovative and distinctive metal releases around. Earache
looks forward to teaming up with Jeff and spreading the gospel of
Annihilator far and wide with a killer new album that is sure to surprise a
lot of people with its genuine intensity and aggression."

ORDER OF ENNEAD FINISH RECORDING, REVEAL ALBUM TITLE

Floridian extreme metallers ORDER OF ENNEAD have finished recording their
second album. The band have set AN EXAMINATION OF BEING as the title for
the new album.

AN EXAMINATION OF BEING was recorded at Audio Hammer Studios in Sanford,
Florida with producer Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, ALL THAT REMAINS), who
also produced ORDER OF ENNEAD's eponymous 2008 self-titled debut.

ORDER OF ENNEAD lead guitarist John Li comments:

"So what can I say about this new album? In my honest opinion, it's much
heavier and darker than our self-titled debut, more cohesive, thematic,
melodic, but not completely over the top. In a nutshell, the works. To me,
the songs sound totally different than the demos and I was blown away after
the songs began to take form. They sound BIG.

"The recording process went as smooth as ever and the results were
spectacular, due in part to the genius of our producer/engineer Mark Lewis.
He's got an ear like a bat and can spot an out of tune guitar a mile away; a
real no-bullshit kind of guy who can really get it done in there.

"Kev's guitars sound heavy as hell, Steve's drums are tight and powerful,
and I must say at the risk of tooting my own horn, I played some great stuff
as well (shameless, I know)."

WHITE WIZZARD SHOOTING MUSIC VIDEO FOR "OVER THE TOP"

Los Angeles' traditional metal act WHITE WIZZARD are shooting a brand new
video for "Over the Top", the title-track from the band's upcoming debut
full-length album.

WHITE WIZZARD will be trading their axes for guns as the five band members
turn into rugged outlaws and bring true heavy metal to the wild west. Far
from the typical "guys grimacing in a warehouse" metal videos that have
become the norm, "Over the Top" will be a lighthearted video which promises
to entertain with a fun story line.

The video for "Over the Top" is being shot with Dave Vorhes, who previously
directed WHITE WIZZARD's first music video for the track "High Speed GTO".
Fans of the first video will instantly recognise "Over the Top" as a sequel
to the "High Speed GTO" video, with the same classic car, an evil sorcerer
and the legendary White Wizzard himself set to make an appearance.

View some photos of WHITE WIZZARD on the set:

The OVER THE TOP album was recorded with producer Ralph Patlan (MEGADETH,
UFO, MICHAEL SCHENKER) and is due to be released in February, 2010.

WHITE WIZZARD are set to headline Earache Records' free 2009 Xmas Party this
Thursday, 17th December at the Purple Turtle in London, UK. The event will
be the band's first ever show in the UK and to celebrate, the band will be
giving out limited edition copies of their debut 7" vinyl "Over the Top"
single.

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH BEGINS RECORDING NEW ALBUM

Detroit death metallers AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH have entered Dreadcore Productions in White Lake, MI to record a full length album that will be released in 2010 on EARACHE RECORDS.

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH guitarist, Kyle McIlmurray chimed in with what the band aims to accomplish during their time recording. "We started our sessions in the studio on Tuesday with our good friend, (produce) Josh Wichman at 10am sharp. We've gotten great reactions to what we've written so far and we feel that everything's going to pay off will. We've taken the best of our strengths and poured it into each riff and each lyric."

The band will be holed up in Dreadcore throughout the entire month, breaking only for a number of one-off dates around Michigan. Focused only on creating the best record they can, the band has a lot of work to fill the many hours they will spend in the studio. "We'll be recording about 11 or 12 songs," says McIlmurray, who adds, "we'll probably up that number for bonus tracks and exclusives that we'll be writing during the sessions."

Once the sessions are over, the AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH guitarist says to expect the band to continue doing what they do best - "a lot of touring and a lot of time on the road."

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH's EARACHE RECORDS debut is set for release in 2010.

This past summer, EARACHE RECORDS signed AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH. Formed 2
years ago in Detroit, MI, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH has taken great influence from death metal legends such as DECIDE and co-mingled them with modern touches popularized by the likes of WHITECHAPEL and OCEANO. The band has toured non-stop throughout middle America and the west coast for a 2008 Statik Factory-released entitled DOMAIN. Over the course of their relentless tour schedule, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH have opened eyes, broken jaws and kicked the door down into scenes that many figured unreachable. With a solid combination of modern, sub-woofer smashing extreme music perfection and a classy, hands-on approach to their fanbase that's second to none, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH looks forward to waving the EARACHE flag for some time to come.

Catch AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH on tour:

12/11 The Howell Rec. Center - Howell, Michigan
12/12 Club 789 - Jackson, Michigan
12/19 Skateland West - Westland, Michigan

EVILE COVERS PANTERA TRACK FOR DIMEBAG TRIBUTE ALBUM; LAST RECORDING WITH BASSIST

British thrashers EVILE recently recorded a PANTERA track for the upcoming
Dimebag Darrell tribute album, which will be released on the cover of the
200th issue of the UK's Metal Hammer magazine.

The special CD and magazine are being released to coincide with the
five-year anniversary of Dimebag's passing, and will be available in shops
on December 16th.

Alongside various other well-known bands such as MACHINE HEAD, EVILE were
asked to record a song as a tribute to the late guitarist. EVILE recorded a
cover of the track "Cemetary Gates", and this tragically turned out to be
the band's last recording before the untimely death of their own bassist,
Mike Alexander, who passed away on October 5th while on tour in Sweden.

A behind-the-scenes video - the last video filmed with Mike - of EVILE
recording the track at Parlour Studios with producer Russ Russell can be
found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lCsSE54DuI

EVILE lead guitarist Ol Drake comments:

"The day we got the call from our manager, Julie Weir, saying Metal Hammer
have asked us to pay tribute to Dimebag Darrell by covering a Pantera song,
we couldn't have been more excited and honoured. I mean, how many more
bands are there more worthy of paying tribute to the man? With us all being
fans of Pantera, we swiftly said yes. Mike though was the biggest Pantera
fan. He'd seen them years ago and absolutely worshipped Dimebag.

"After Dime got killed, Mike couldn't listen to "Cemetary Gates" anymore.
He'd always ask us to skip the track in the car/van/bus because it was too
much for him. So when we chose to do the track it was tough for Mike, but
I'm glad he did it. It turned out to be the last song he recorded, which to
me is a strangely "appropriate" tribute to him and Dimebag. I remember him
nearing the verge of tears whilst I was doing the tremolo bends at the end
of the track.

"We hope Pantera/Dimebag fans find this a fitting tribute from us, as we're
simply fans ourselves who've been given this rare honour."

Metal Hammer editor Alexander Milas comments:

"I was genuinely over the moon when Evile volunteered to produce a track for
our upcoming Dimebag tribute, a stunningly rendered cover of Pantera's
classic 'Cemetary Gates'. So when the truly tragic news of Mike Alexander's
all-too-premature departure from this world hit the office, the tragic irony
wasn't lost on me or anyone here that Mike Alexander's tribute to the
immortal legacy of Dimebag would also be a final testament to his own
impeccable musicianship and commitment to the music we love.

"To understate the case slightly, it's a very special track indeed, and
we're honoured that it's a part of our upcoming tribute collection. Rest in
peace Dimebag, and rest in peace Mike Alexander."

The Dimebag Darrell tribute album contains the following tracks:

01. ZAKK WYLDE - "Suicide Note Pt. 1"
02. MACHINE HEAD - "Fucking Hostile"
03. MALEFICE - "I'm Broken"
04. AVENGED SEVENFOLD - "Walk"
05. EVILE - "Cemetery Gates"
06. FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH - "A New Level"
07. BIOHAZARD - "Mouth For War"
08. SYLOSIS - "Strength Beyond Strength"
09. CHIMAIRA - "Slaughtered"
10. UNEARTH - "Sandblasted Skin"
11. THROWDOWN - "Becoming"
12. KIUAS - "This Love"
13. THIS IS HELL - "Rise"

Some of the items will be auctioned after the shows.

View the incredible raffle items up for grabs and purchase tickets at
http://www.mikealexander.co.uk/raffle.php

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE has posted a new entry in his online diary
regarding the raffle:

"Hello to all - haven't felt like updating this in a while but thought I
would now.

"I got a mail from Gary (Exodus) that he's gonna send some signed Exodus
vinyl over. It got me thinking we could really raise some money for the
family. I had the idea of holding a raffle at both shows.

"We have some amazing raffle donations from the likes of Ozzy and Sharon
Osbourne, Metallica, Slayer, Machine Head, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Overkill,
Exodus, Hirax, Trivium, Benediction, Andy Sneap (Sabbat), Annihilator, Gus G
(Firewind/Ozzy), Ed Stone Rockwear, Peavey, Sonisphere Festival, Bloodstock
Festival and much more. The support being shown is amazing.

"This support has re-enforced my passion for heavy metal and its community.
I'm so glad we are part of such an amazing and friendly group of people.
This was a big reason Mike loved heavy metal - the people he'd meet.
Everyone was, and is, so supportive and friendly.

"The support has helped so much. Mike's girlfriend, Hayley, was so
overwhelmed by the support she texted me saying "Long live heavy metal!",
and that's something I wouldn't imagine hearing from her! Haha.

"Please grab a raffle ticket from http://www.mikealexander.co.uk/raffle.php
for £7.50 - or come along to one of the Mike Memorial shows on
Monday/Tuesday."

CAULDRON PREPARING TO FILM DVD AT HOMETOWN SHOW IN TORONTO

For the past month, Canadian heavy metal heroes CAULDRON have been tearing
their way around North America, leaving their infectious breed of timeless,
true heavy metal ringing in everyone's ears along the way.

CAULDRON have been supporting labelmates MUNICIPAL WASTE on the North
American leg of the "Waste the World" tour, and on this coming Sunday,
December 6th, the tour will reach CAULDRON's hometown of Toronto, where the
band are set to capture their show on film for an upcoming DVD.

The show will take place at the Opera House, where CAULDRON will be doing
their utmost to put on a spectacular show for their hometown crowd. Toronto
bangers can be assured of a particularly wild and crazy night, and with
CAULDRON taking to the stage early, everyone should get down to the Opera
House early for opening.

CAULDRON have been keeping a tour blog on the "Waste the World" tour, so
fans can stay up-to-date with all of the crazy mishaps touring brings. Read
the band's latest blog below:

"Yes, we played Bellingham. Someone's gotta put Bellingham on the map. You
can thank us later. I think we arrived sometime in the afternoon, around 3.
Saw a couple record stores on the way into town so we made sure to stop by.
Pretty slim pickin's in Bellingham. We left with 1 Frehley's Comet -
Live... Plus 2356 VHS, 1 Beavis and Butthead "Butt-O-Ween" VHS and 1
Sepultura - Morbid Visions postcard to mail home to Mom. It was pouring
rain here, a rude awakening after the tropical paradise of LA. Ian's sister
Jane came down from Vancouver to see the sound check because she heard
Cauldron's are really good.

"After that it was time to hang out on the bus watching Robocop while a
throng of fans waited outside until the doors opened. Crazy punk guy with
multiple knives was up front along with the true chi's from Stryker. Good
set overall, even after some dude took our quality Washington brewed
Rainiers off the stage. They even come with chunks of genuine Northwest
dirt in every can. This was a late gig, and MW didn't hit the stage until
after the stroke of midnite. A truly awkward crowd had gathered for their
set. When Tony yelled "circle pit", people must have misheard and thought
he said "backwards triangle and square pits simultaneously". After packing
up the gear in more rain, it was time to hit the Canadian border. We must
have done something right because we arrived at 3am, they stamped our
passports and said "see ya", even with everyone's goofy and thuggish looking
passports. And who's gonna believe that a long haired Korean tour manager's
name is Lewis Lovely? Our tour mates Off With Their Heads were not so lucky
and had to drop off the Canadian portion of the tour. Anyone know any
bands?"
