BONDED BY BLOOD FRONTMAN INTERVIEWED BY BROOKLYN ROCKS

BONDED BY BLOOD FRONTMAN INTERVIEWED BY BROOKLYN ROCKS

BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist, Jose Barrales was recently interviewed by Brooklyn Rocks while on a trip to EARACHE's NYC headquarters. In this 10 minute video, Brooklyn Rocks talks to Jose about BONDED BY BLOOD's 5 month tour schedule alongside the likes of EXODUS, MALEVOLENT CREATION, OVERKILL, EVILE and more. Jose also touches upon the sci-fi story behind BONDED BY BLOOD's August 10th release, EXILED TO EARTH.

Watch Brooklyn Rocks' interview with BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist, Jose Barrales here: http://brooklynrocks.blogspot.com/2010/07/bonded-by-blood-exiled-to-earth-press.html

BONDED BY BLOOD
was recently named as one of "The New Big Four" by The Guardian, one of the UK's most widely read periodicals. Standing alongside labelmates, MUNICIPAL WASTE and EVILE in the list, it is a complete honor for BONDED BY BLOOD to be thought of in the same light as the original "Big Four" -- METALLICA, MEGADETH, ANTHRAX and SLAYER. For anyone, let alone The Guardian to say that BONDED BY BLOOD is one of the bands who definitively lead the new generation of thrash is a statement that cannot be overlooked.

Read The Guardian's thoughts on BONDED BY BLOOD and "The New Big Four" by scrolling down to the end of this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/jul/22/big-four-tour-metallica-slayer

EXILED TO EARTH
is a concept album set 600 years in the future and tells the tale of The Crong, an alien race who were sent to Earth long ago with one goal -- global domination. A skilled group of warriors must now face the impossible and overthrow The Crong to take back our planet. A comic illustrating some of the story can be found at http://www.earache.com/exiledtoearth. The album, produced by Ralph Patlan (MEGADETH, UFO, WHITE WIZZARD) takes the band's music to a whole new level with a more serious aggression and progressed musical ability making for a treat for both the ears and the mind.

Pre-order BONDED BY BLOOD's new album, EXILED TO EARTH from the EARACHE US WEBSTORE. It's the only place where you'll be able to purchase the CD along with limited edition colored vinyls, t-shirts and combo packs. Decibel magazine says of the album; "It's all about the riffs, the solos and the killer arrangements and BBB know how to execute all three with aplomb and passion". Pre-order EXILED TO EARTH at thttp://earache.com/uswebstore/index.php/cPath/667_668_16

Pomona, CA's BONDED BY BLOOD cannot wait to begin playing shows in support of their forthcoming album, EXILED TO EARTH. The band intends on making metal fans everywhere take notice in a big way. They kick things off next month by playing several prestigious European festivals and headline UK shows before venturing back to the US to join EXODUS on their March of Brutality tour, which also features MALEVOLENT CREATION and HOLY GRAIL. Finally after the newly-announced EARLY MAN tour, BONDED BY BLOOD will be doing dates with OVERKILL, FORBIDDEN, EVILE and GAMA BOMB on the Killfest II tour. After coming back from the UK, BONDED BY BLOOD will be hitting every nook and cranny of North America with 5 solid months of touring.

IGNOMINIOUS INCARCERATION & AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH DISCUSS UPCOMING EUROPEAN TOUR

British death metal act IGNOMINIOUS INCARCERATION are due to kick off a headlining European tour this Sunday, 1st August, with Detroit deathcore destroyers AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH and HONOUR IS DEAD.

IGNOMINIOUS INCARCERATION, who are taking time out from working on a new album to headline the string of shows, are looking forward to teaming up with their labelmates in AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH - for whom this will be their first ever European tour.

IGNOMINIOUS INCARCERATION bassist CHRIS BALL comments:

"This tour is going to be a heavy one, not only on stage but off!  We have been looking forward to this since the idea was proposed.  With it being AHFW's first time over here we're hoping we can show them the enthusiasm European metallers have!  Me and Kyle have been plotting on what will make this tour that little bit more over the top than any other tour!  If everyone is wanting to see what we get up to while we're away then follow us on our Twitters (not for the faint of hearted).

"We're also hitting cities/countries we've never been to before, this should seem interesting as we know Europe is already awesome!  Still definitely looking forward to UK shows including Bristol which will include our tour buddies from last December, While She Sleeps, and all our friends should be there to show AHFW how the UK party!  See you out there and don't be afraid to come party with us!"

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH guitarist KYLE MCILMURRAY adds:

"Very grateful and stoked to have this lot of tour dates with Ignom.  They seem to be awesome dudes so it should be a real banger from the get go.  Not only will it be fun for us, it will be fun for the fans.  Our first time in Europe will definitely be something to remember!"

MUNICIPAL WASTE AND FANGORIA ENTERTAINMENT TO PREMIERE NEW MUSIC VIDEO AT SAN DIEGO COMIC CON

FANGORIA ENTERTAINMENT is very proud to announce that we will be premiering the new MUNICIPAL WASTE music video for the track "Acid Sentence" off of their newest album, MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE at booth #1736 at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con International. FANGORIA film crews helmed this gruesome video, which is sure to be a favorite with MUNICIPAL WASTE and FANGORIA fans alike.

"It seemed like a perfect fit," says video director David McKendry. "The FANGORIA staff has always been huge WASTE fans, and when we heard they wanted to shoot a horror oriented video, we knew FANGO had to be part of the action."

Bass player Phil Hall stated, "I have been a big fan of FANGORIA for years, so when I heard they were interested in producing a music video for MUNICIPAL WASTE, I was stoked. Just like any metal head, I am a fan of classic horror movies and who else would know that genre better than FANGORIA! I think the dark and gritty vibe of the new video fits the atmosphere of the song very well. I hope all the WASTE fans out there get a kick out of it!"

The song "Acid Sentence" is from the band's most recent album, MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, released by Earache Records. Based on the legendary serial killer John Haigh, the song/video center around a serial killer who bathes his victims in acid. The video was shot over several weeks in May and June of 2010 and features the band as well as plenty of FANGORIA style gore. The gore and body parts were provided by the world-renowned Dapper Cadaver, whose fine gore craftsmanship has graced TV shows like BONES and DEXTER.

Drummer Dave Witte on the collaboration- "It was a huge thrill to work with FANGORIA as they've been totally supportive to many artists over the years from Clive Barker to Romero and beyond, people who have uncompromising visions with their art and are pros all across the board. To me, as a fan and a musician, I couldn't be more thrilled that FANGORIA wants to support what we are doing with our music."

FANGORIA will debut the video at the FANGORIA Booth, #1736, at 3pm on Saturday, July 24th. After this, the video will play once every hour until the end of the event. Director David McKendry will be at the booth during the premiere to answer questions and discuss the video shoot. To arrange an interview with David McKendry, please email rebekah@fangoria.com

Information on FANGORIA ENTERTAINMENT: FANGORIA sliced its way onto the scene in 1979, becoming the only national publication devoted to the modern horror genre. Three decades later, FANGORIA is still the number one authority on all things scary! FANGORIA provides the best in horror entertainment and news coverage including the website, magazine, radio show on Sirius XM, film production division, comic book division, convention circuit, and TV On-Demand Channel (coming this September). FANGORIA ENTERTAINMENT: We know what scares you! For more information, please visit www.fangoria.com

Information on MUNICIPAL WASTE: Named by Billboard Magazine as one of the world's "up and coming" metal bands, Richmond, Virginia's MUNICIPAL WASTE have not only proven themselves worthy of the honor, but they have worked hard to become the undisputed modern leaders of the crossover genre. Founded by guitarist, Ryan Waste and vocalist, Tony Foresta in 2000, MUNICIPAL WASTE have gone from an underground sensation playing songs that incorporate elements of thrash metal, punk and hardcore (in the vein of DRI, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and NUCLEAR ASSAULT), to singlehandedly resurrecting a genre and finally defining it. Along with bassist, Land Phil and world-class drummer, Dave Witte, MUNICIPAL WASTE has taken its frantic, crossover-infused sound all over the world to high praise from critics and fans alike. The band is still hard at work promoting their latest album, 2009's MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE. Supported by tours with LAMB OF GOD, headlining runs with the likes of BRUTAL TRUTH and GOATWHORE, as well appearances at major metal festivals the world over, MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE has been the band's best-selling record to date

EVILE: VIDEOS OF MIKE ALEXANDER MEMORIAL SHOW NOW ONLINE

In October 2009 Evile's bassist, Mike Alexander, passed away whilst on tour in Sweden. He died of a pulmonary embolism, he was 32.  Two months after the tragedy, in December 2009, Evile arranged two memorial shows (Leeds & London) to honour the memory of Mike and to raise money for his family. While Mutant and Seregon played the show by request, Matt, Ol and Ben got together with members of the other bands and Nick Barker to play some covers by some of Mike's favourite bands including Sepultura, Testament, Metallica, Pantera and Slayer. Below are videos of the entire covers set, including messages read out from Mike's family and Earache Records, at the Mike Alexander Memorial Show in London on December 8th, 2009.

Evile lead guitarist, Ol Drake, had the following to say: "The two nights we did in December meant so much to us all. It was our own way of saying goodbye to our friend, Mike. We attended his funeral with his family and friends, and it was a good ceremony, but we wanted something we know Mike would have loved; two nights of Metal. It was tough to get back on stage again without looking over and seeing him there, as that's what we'd all seen on stage for the past 10/11 years. I don't think people realise how long we all played together. We still miss Mike dearly and can't believe he's gone. Thank you to everyone involved in helping us make these nights happen, and thanky ou to everyone for coming and paying your respects. I hope you enjoy these videos!"

DECAPITATED 'WINDS OF CREATION' & 'ORGANIC HALLUCINOSIS' OUT NOW ON VINYL

WINDS OF CREATION and ORGANIC HALLUCINOSIS, two landmark albums from Polish death metal legends DECAPITATED, are out now in Europe on vinyl LP for the first time ever.

DECAPITATED's debut album, WINDS OF CREATION was released in 2000 and was immediately hailed as an album responsible for re-igniting a stagnating death metal scene.

ORGANIC HALLUCINOSIS was released in 2006 and was DECAPITATED's first release with new vocalist COVAN.  A hugely forward-thinking and ambitious album, ORGANIC HALLUCINOSIS defined DECAPITATED's sound and spawned a host of imitators.

Available now on limited edition coloured vinyl, WINDS OF CREATION and ORGANIC HALLUCINOSIS each come housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with a double-sided poster booklet.  The albums are the latest releases in the 'First Time on Vinyl' campaign, plugging the gaps in the Earache catalogue previously unavailable on wax.

These strictly limited edition vinyls are available in the following colours and quantities:

WINDS OF CREATION
100 - Fire & Brimstone
200 - Tooth White
300 - Burning Red
900 - Black

ORGANIC HALLUCINOSIS
100 - Crumbling Rust
200 - Stainless Grey
300 - Organic Green
900 - Black

EARACHE RECORDS CONTINUES LOW-PRICED CD CAMPAIGN

Earache Records is continuing its popular low-priced CD campaign with the addition of two new releases - Californian thrashers BONDED BY BLOOD's new album, EXILED TO EARTH, and Detroit deathcore destroyers AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH's upcoming album, PROPRIOCEPTION.

During the current age of recessions and economic crises, where music sales are declining as fans demand better value for their money, many record labels and retailers continue to sell CDs at high prices.  To combat this, Earache Records has started the low-priced CD campaign, offering fans who are on a tight budget a selection of new releases at an incredibly affordable price.

While the CDs in the low-priced campaign are nearly half the cost of most regular CDs, each and every one is the full and complete version, and includes the booklet, jewel case and everything you would expect from a CD - except for the high cost!

Earache's two newest additions to the low-priced CD campaign, BONDED BY BLOOD's EXILED TO EARTH and AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH's PROPRIOCEPTION, are available to pre-order now throughout Europe from Play.com for the astounding price of just £4.99 or €6.99 EUR.

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH's PROPRIOCEPTION is due to be released in Europe on July 26th.  Pre-order the album now from Play.com at http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/15175064/Proprioception/Product.html

BONDED BY BLOOD SHOOT NEW MUSIC VIDEO

Pomona, California thrashers BONDED BY BLOOD have finished shooting a new music video in the lead-up to the release of their ripping new album, EXILED TO EARTH.

The video for the new track, "Prototype: Death Machine", sees BONDED BY BLOOD gearing up as a group of rebels as they fight to reclaim planet Earth from the grasp of an alien race called The Crong.  The video was filmed with director DAVE VORHES.

BONDED BY BLOOD frontman JOSE BARRALES discusses the video shoot:

"Working with Dave Vorhes was a great experience.  Coming into this shoot we didn't know what to expect, but I'm glad it turned out the way it did.  First day we did a performance shoot, 2pm till 9pm straight, of Prototype: Death Machine.  After listening so much I'm still not tired of the song.

"Second day was the storyline shoot, this was so fun.  Dressing up in costumes and shooting aliens, what's not to love?  This day was a long one, 6am to 11pm, but well worth it.  Can't wait to see the final product, I'm sure it will be epic."

Check out some photos from the shoot:

SSS ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR

British crossover thrashers SSS have confirmed dates for a European tour, which starts at the end of July.

SSS vocalist FOXY comments:

"That's right... Our 'Wreck and Annoy' Euro tour kicks off this August.  We can't wait to get out into Europe and make some noise.  Always mega to see the sights and sounds of new cities, play with some mega bands, eat new food, catch up with old friends and make new ones.  Plus rattle some brand new songs for our third LP, 'Problems To The Answer'.

WORMROT LOOKS BACK AT EUROPEAN TOUR

Singapore grindcore trio WORMROT have returned home following a two-month European tour.

WORMROT kicked off their trek in April with fourteen shows in the UK - the band's first ever shows on British soil.  Following the UK stint, the band tore their way around Europe, getting stranded in Italy along the way and fighting through numerous other problems until the final show of the tour in Amsterdam at the very end of June.  The band plans to announce dates for a USA tour soon.

Read below for a snippet of WORMROT vocalist ARIF looking back at the fun and mishaps of the tour:

"The tour we did in the UK was a blast.  We had a great time meeting the people behind Earache Records and they were being all awesome towards us...  We had tons of killer supporters even though we are kinda new band in grind.  Meeting new and suprisingly old friends... It all went very cool when we were in UK.  The only down side was that we can't get used to the damn weather there.  It's too fucking cold.  Oh and also we had to jump start our huge ass van towards the end of the tour to get it worked.  Haha!  It was crazy going up and down the road to get it fucking start!  But it was all good.  No big deal about that.  Everything was awesome till we hit Europe in my honest opinion.

"So here we go.  First of all, or shall I say to sum it up, we had a fucked up driver with a goddamn family car to tour all around Europe for one and a half months.  We had merch, CDs, equipments and literally our own corpses squeezed in that sorry excuse of a car.  That did not stop us all from touring... The thing that made us go through this whole chaos was mostly because of the grinders in Europe.  Killer, killer, killer supports and they really mean a lot to us!"

To read the rest of the tales from the tour, including an unexpected stay with some squatters, incidents with border police and more, read the full tour summary on the band's MySpace blog at http://j.mp/cL4YHU

WORMROT's debut album, ABUSE, is out now worldwide, featuring 23 tracks of pure grindcore, plus a bonus disc with an extra 34 tracks of demos, EPs and splits.  Get your copy in Europe at http://earache.com/webstore/index.php/cPath/667_674_750 or in North America at http://earache.com/uswebstore/index.php/cPath/667_674_733

ABUSE is also available now on iTunes, including all 57 tracks, at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/abuse/id363581828
