MUNICIPAL WASTE RETURNS TO EUROPE NEXT WEEK FOR HEADLINING TOUR

Richmond, Virginia's MUNICIPAL WASTE are set to return to Europe next week for a headlining tour.

The band, who have just finished a short run around the USA, playing with the likes of HIGH ON FIRE, KYLESA and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, will be kicking off their European tour on Friday, December 3rd in Belfast, UK.  As well as a string of UK shows, MUNICIPAL WASTE will also be playing in France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Finland on their trek.

Supporting MUNICIPAL WASTE on the tour will be SAVIOURS and RAMMING SPEED.

MUNICIPAL WASTE drummer DAVE WITTE comments:

"We are ready to return to the UK/EU with Saviours and Ramming Speed to celebrate our last tour of the year.  It's gonna be awesome!  Get there early, this is a great bill that you won't wanna miss!"

MUNICIPAL WASTE frontman TONY FORESTA adds:

"I'm really looking forward to getting back over there.  It feels like it's been forever since we've been.  It seems like each time we come back the crowds get bigger and crazier.  It's always good to come back year after year to see the same familiar faces as well as hordes of new ones getting rowdy to our music.  I can't wait.  This time we're taking Ramming Speed and Saviours.  Both bands we've known for a while and dig them as friends as well as musicians, so I'm assuming that every night will be entertaining onstage as well as everywhere else this rowdy crew goes.  It should be a fun one."

WIN THE CHANCE TO SUPPORT EVILE ON THEIR UK TOUR

British thrashers EVILE recently announced a headlining UK tour, which kicks off in February 2011.

If you've ever dreamed of playing a show with such an awesome band, now is your chance!  EVILE, in conjunction with Metal Hammer and MySpace, are offering you and your band the chance to support the nation's finest thrash heroes at one of their upcoming UK shows.

To be in with a chance of winning this incredible opportunity, simply submit your band's MySpace URL to digital@visiblenoise.com with the subject line "Evile Live", followed by the city in which you'd like to support EVILE.  All entries must be received by December 31st.

EVILE themselves will choose the best three bands for each city and the readers of Metal Hammer online will then vote to decide which band gets to support EVILE at each show.

EVILE frontman MATT DRAKE comments:

"Today we are about to experience Thanksgiving in America on one of our rare days off on tour and we are looking ahead to getting home and having a relaxing Christmas with the people we are closest to, but we don't want to forget about the other people who are important to us, our UK fans, so we have decided to try a different way of finding some support bands for our upcoming UK mini tour.

"Bands can send us their MySpace links and we will be going through them all to choose the bands we like that will open the shows in February.  Knowing our luck this will somehow backfire in a hideous way but it will be fun to try!  We are looking forward to listening to all the bands and getting some good UK metal on the shows with us.

"Happy Thanksgiving from America and we will see you in February!"

The full dates for EVILE's UK tour are as follows:

Though this may only be their second album together, they have a songwriting capability that belies their young age. Having created a hardcore following across the States with a series of explosive live performances, the band are ready to make the step up and blow away their peers!

OCEANO
- DEPTHS

Chicago Illinois' Oceano are the embodiment of all that is exciting and dangerous about extreme music. Just when you thought that the genre could not be taken any further and that we had reached the limits of extremity, out from the abyss rises a band so intense, so mind cavingly brutal that you just have to take notice and listen.

Oceano mix the intensity of Grindcore and death metal with an an unnerving sense of dynamics; seamlessly taking fast paced blast beats down to a sub sonic gut wrenching chug. A guitar tone so thick it could sink a battle ship and vocals so barbaric that its hard to believe that the person they were spewed from is even human. Put simply.. "DEPTHS" IS THE HEAVIEST, MOST BRUTAL DEATHCORE ALBUM EVER RELEASED!

So be sure to place this album into a technically safe and tested sound system with a full warranty in place, as Earache will not be responsible for damages.

N.B. For the most devastating results play 'Depths' on a proper sound system with decent speakers. The Bass end will seriously shock you. Full effect not captured on an ipod.

Track listing:

01 Descent
02 Inhuman Aflication
03 A Mandatory Sacrifice
04 Samael The Destroyer
05 Fractured Frames, Scattered Flesh
06 Disgust For Your Kind
07 Depths
08 District Of Misery*
09 With Legions...
10 Slaughtered Like Swine
11 Empathy For Leviathan
12 Plague Campaign
13 Abysm

EARACHE REVEALS TRACK LIST FOR 'EXTREME STAGE DIVING' APP

Earache Records recently announced EARACHE EXTREME STAGE DIVING, a free, essential app for all metalheads, which is coming to the Apple App Store on November 29th for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Play along to a killer soundtrack of thrash, death and heavy metal as you throw a pesky stage diver off a festival stage and as far into the crowd as possible.  Throw the stage diver as far as you can to get a high score on the global leader boards while trying to avoid objects such as bottles, merch stands and of course the festival favourite - the portable toilets!

Whereas most apps just include clips of songs, or at most a couple of full tracks, EARACHE EXTREME STAGE DIVING features ten full shredding songs.  The full track list is as follows:

Evile - Thrasher
At The Gates - Suicide Nation
Bonded By Blood - Prison Planet
White Wizzard - Over the Top
Oceano - District of Misery
The Haunted - The World Burns
Wormrot - Born Stupid
Decapitated - Spheres of Madness
Deicide - Homage For Satan
Brutal Truth - Walking Corpse

All tracks are included in a fully integrated music player, allowing you to play along to the tunes you want, when you want.  There's also a secret unlockable track which can only be found in this app.

To get your hands on EARACHE EXTREME STAGE DIVING, just search for "extreme stage diving" on the App Store from November 29th.

EVILE FACES "THE BEAST OF KANSAS CITY" ON HAILSANDHORNS.COM

EVILE guitarist, Ol Drake has been keeping a regular tour blog on HailsAndHorns.com. In the latest entry, Ol tells the tale of the band facing their toughest challenge yet. Enter "The Beast Of Kansas City":

"We arrive at the venue and we're told there's a backstage. I immediately set up my laptop to continue writing. There are Rock Band controllers, N64 pads scattered around the TV. Everyone scrambles to find power for the TV. Whilst doing so, Matt shouts, "what the fuck was that?" and jumps up. Ben says he saw a spider, but Matt insists it was too large to be a spider. It's seen one more time and gives a slight pounce towards Matt, which fills his diaper."

To find out what it was and if EVILE survived the encounter, go to http://www.hailsandhorns.com/featured/evile-tour-diary-entry-6/

ANNIHILATOR ESCAPES FIRE AT NOTTINGHAM VENUE

Canadian melodic thrash metal pioneers ANNIHILATOR escaped a large fire on Wednesday night, shortly after playing to a packed house in Nottingham, England whilst on their European headlining tour.

ANNIHILATOR were packing up their gear from the Rescue Rooms venue in Nottingham city centre at around 1:00am when a large fire broke out next door.  1,400 people were evacuated from the venue as well as others from surrounding buildings.  No one was injured in the incident.

Emergency services were called to the scene and were still putting the fire out on Thursday afternoon, causing significant disruption to the city's transport services.  Some of ANNIHILATOR's equipment was still in the venue at the time of the fire and the band and its crew were unable to retrieve it until Thursday.

View photos of the fire at:

OCEANO - 'CONTAGION' DEBUTS IN THE BILLBOARD TOP 200

OCEANO's new album, CONTAGION sold 2,955 copies in its first week of release, landing the Chicago deathcore heavyweights at number 163 on the Billboard Top 200. The band also debuted on the Billboard Heatseekers chart at number 3. This is a tremendous achievement for the young band and only cements their role as a legitimate force in the metal world. "We're excited to have made the charts;" says OCEANO's formidable frontman, Adam Warren. "We also know that this or any other success we've faced would have been possible without the support of our loyal fans and listeners. Thanks a lot and we'll catch you on tour."

OCEANO's highly anticipated sophomore release, CONTAGION is now out in North America. Produced by Zeuss (MUNICIPAL WASTE, THE ACACIA STRAIN, HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), the new album is about a government-born virus that becomes an epidemic and spreads chaos amongst the population. CONTAGION is a major step forward for OCEANO. Their signature breakdowns and inhuman heaviness is still intact, but the band's traditional death metal influence now shines through more than ever, leading to a stronger melding of old school and modern extremities.

ENFORCER BACK ON THE ROAD AFTER BUS CRASH

Swedish heavy metallers ENFORCER are back on the road for their European tour with Australian hard rockers AIRBOURNE, following a bus crash last week in the band's homeland.

The band has posted the following comment:

OCEANO HITS NUMBER 40 ON ITUNES OVERALL ROCK CHART

OCEANO HITS NUMBER 40 ON ITUNES OVERALL ROCK CHART

OCEANO's brand new sophomore album CONTAGION is making huge strides less than a week into release. Due to a combination of fan fervor, a $7.99 value price point and a bonus demo track that can't be found anywhere else, the album has risen through the ranks on iTunes' overall rock chart. Earlier this afternoon, CONTAGION's peak rank was charted at 40 (as seen in this picture: http://earacherecords.com/myspace/contagion_itunesrockchart.jpg). OCEANO's new release was positioned next to such noted bands as LED ZEPPELIN, STONE SOUR and GWAR. With a continued buzz on the album and a string of sold out shows to promote it across the country, there's no telling how high OCEANO's final peak charting will go.
 
Fans who get the album on iTunes will receive an exclusive bonus demo track not available anywhere else. Purchase CONTAGION now on iTunes with the exclusive bonus track at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/contagion/id395335661

View an image for the iTunes exclusive version at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/oceano_contagion_itunes.jpg

OCEANO's highly anticipated sophomore release, CONTAGION is now out in North America. Produced by Zeuss (MUNICIPAL WASTE, THE ACACIA STRAIN, HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), the new album is about a government-born virus that becomes an epidemic and spreads chaos amongst the population. CONTAGION is a major step forward for OCEANO. Their signature breakdowns and inhuman heaviness is still intact, but the band's traditional death metal influence now shines through more than ever, leading to a stronger melding of old school and modern extremities.

Buy CONTAGION along with several special mercy packs at the EARACHE US WEBSTORE: http://earache.com/uswebstore/index.php/cPath/667_672_698

OCEANO's CREATING THE CONTAGION "making-of" bonus DVD can be found EXCLUSIVELY at all Transworld stores (which include FYE, Coconuts, Saturday Matinee, Spin Street and more) with purchase of the new album, CONTAGION.

ENFORCER INVOLVED IN BUS CRASH IN SWEDEN

Swedish heavy metallers ENFORCER have been involved in a serious bus crash while on tour in their homeland.

The band, who are on tour in Europe supporting Australian hard rockers AIRBOURNE, were travelling from Oslo to Stockholm in a snowstorm at around 3:00am on the morning of 10th November and were near their hometown of Arvika when their vehicle skidded on ice, crossed over to the other side of the road and experienced a head-on collision with a snow-plough.

ENFORCER guitarists ADAM ZAARS and JOSEPH THOLL, bassist TOBIAS LINDQVIST and the band's driver were battered and bruised, but miraculously all survived the crash with only minor injuries.  A county police officer at the scene said, "They had a guardian angel".

The band's vehicle was destroyed in the accident, but their equipment, which was in a trailer attached to the vehicle, was luckily unscathed.  ENFORCER frontman OLOF WIKSTRAND and drummer JONAS WIKSTRAND were travelling in a separate car at the time and were not involved in the crash.

The band have regretfully been forced to cancel their appearances tonight in Sweden and on the 12th and 13th November in Finland and will be using the time to recuperate and recover from the nerve-wracking incident.  They will resume the tour on 16th November in Berlin, Germany.

ENFORCER have posted the following comment:

"We're all alive and well but we're really sorry to cancel the gigs in Stockholm, Tampere and Helsinki.  We're working really hard to get back on the road again soon!"

View a photo of the crash scene at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/enforcercrash.jpg

OCEANO GUITARIST SHOWS OFF HIS 'CONTAGION' TATTOO

An earlier story mentioned that OCEANO is honored to put ink to skin and sign their fans should they request it. Guitarist, Devin Shidaker took it to the next level by getting his hand tattooed with the character from the cover of the band's newly released album, CONTAGION. What happens when an OCEANO member turns the tables on themselves? Let Devin himself tell the tale:

"During some down time at home, I decided I wanted a new tattoo to symbolize my love for this band and my confidence in the album. I wanted it to be somewhere where I would never forget about it  so an idea came about from my tattoo artist Brandon Blevins. He suggested that I get it done onmy hand. After a bit of talking, we sat down and hammered it out. Now I have a beautiful piece of art to add to my permanent collection!"

Check out Devin's CONTAGION tattoo here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_la8yzlLNFb1qzcx1po1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1289431802&Signature=tzsZq8mdHRECFUGlRF8XP9ustys%3D

OCEANO's highly anticipated sophomore release, CONTAGION came out in North America today. Produced by Zeuss (MUNICIPAL WASTE, THE ACACIA STRAIN, HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), the new album is about a government-born virus that becomes an epidemic and spreads chaos amongst the population. CONTAGION is a major step forward for OCEANO. Their signature breakdowns and inhuman heaviness is still intact, but the band's traditional death metal influence now shines through more than ever, leading to a stronger melding of old school and modern extremities.
