RIVAL SONS TO PERFORM ON BOB HARRIS SHOW ON BBC RADIO 2 THIS SATURDAY NIGHT

RIVAL SONS are set to join the legendary Bob Harris on BBC Radio 2 this Saturday night/Sunday morning at midnight UK time for the 'Bob Harris Sunday' show, where they will be premiering a brand new track.

The band will be appearing as special guests alongside Sir Tom Jones, where they will be talking about their upcoming new album, HEAD DOWN, and performing three acoustic tracks, including a brand new track titled "Jordan".

The show will be available to listen to online afterwards at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jxsjc

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:

"I've grown up on re-runs of the Old Grey Whistle Test... That show has been quite significant to my musical upbringing.  It's really one of the greatest musical programs EVER, in my opinion.  I think about Humble Pie doing 'Black Coffee', The Faces doing 'I'm Losing You', and so, so, SO many more.  These performances were better than the album versions, capturing rock 'n' roll at its most magical, and Bob Harris has kept up the tradition with his BBC radio show.  So, it was a great honor to be invited down to his show, and chat, and to play a few tunes.  We wanted to give him something special, so we performed a song off the new album ('Jordan') for the first time on his show.  Bob was great to chat with, charming as ever, and totally kind to us.  It's fellas like Mr. Harris that've helped reveal some of the special magic of rock 'n' roll, and in hanging out with him, it felt like a great reminder of that magic."

See a photo of RIVAL SONS with Bob Harris at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/rivalsons_bobharris.jpg

CEREBRAL BORE ANNOUNCE EASTERN EUROPEAN TOUR

Scottish death metallers CEREBRAL BORE have confirmed dates for an Eastern European tour, which kicks off on September 5th in Szeged, Hungary.

The band will be joined by Israel's VISCERA TRAIL and England's FLAYED DISCIPLE on the tour, which follows CEREBRAL BORE's trek across North America on the Summer Slaughter tour in July and August.  The band have also confirmed three off-date shows during the Summer Slaughter tour, with GOATWHORE and EXHUMED.

CEREBRAL BORE guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE comments:

"Time to score another seven new countries off the list on this one, and great to do it with two bands who we are already close friends with.  We will be starting this tour less than a week after Summer Slaughter, so we should be on top form as far as our playing is concerned, which is always a good thing when playing to new audiences.  A stop at Bathory castle is also in order!"

EVILE: 'IN MEMORIAM' VIDEO PREMIERES ON VEVO

EVILE have released a new music video for their track, "In Memoriam", which is taken from the band's latest album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH.

The video, which was produced and directed by Sitcom Soldiers, is premiering now on VEVO, making them the first metal band to feature on the music video site's front page.

Watch the "In Memoriam" video now on VEVO at http://www.vevo.com

For viewers in countries where VEVO is not available, the video is also available on YouTube at http://youtu.be/8JHum58R624

"In Memoriam" is also available now as a digital single on iTunes, including an acoustic version of the track, a radio edit, and the official music video.  Get the single now at http://bit.ly/JL2szS

EVILE drummer BEN CARTER comments:

"We are really excited for our fans, both new and old, to see our video for In Memoriam.  It's a different sound and approach for us definitely, but we hope our fans appreciate the sentiment and reason this song exists.  There's a lot of context in the song that everyone will at one time or another relate to, and we hope we have captured that essence in the video.  We didn't want to rush this video and get it wrong at all; we didn't want there to be any falseness, so what we have created is something which we are all very proud of, which perfectly captures everything we felt after losing Mike, and moving forward with Joel.  We hope this becomes a mainstay of our live set in the future, and we also hope that everyone who watches takes something positive from the video.  Live life, and enjoy!"

WORMROT KICK OFF EUROPEAN TOUR TONIGHT IN BATH, UK

Singaporean grindcore trio WORMROT are due to kick off a European tour tonight in Bath, UK.

The band will be grinding their way around the UK for ten shows, before heading on to mainland Europe for a mixture of festival appearances and club shows, including three shows in Italy with Swedish grindcore legends NASUM.

WORMROT frontman ARIF ROT recently spoke with This Thing Called Progress ahead of the tour.  An excerpt from the interview follows:

"When it comes to touring, no matter if it's in Europe, US or Asia, personally, I get nervous every single time dude.  But knowing that we will be meeting our old and new friends across Europe is a pretty fucking amazing feeling.  Touring is basically the only time off from reality.  Not worrying about anything else and just grind the fuck out."

EARACHE RELEASES WORLD'S SHORTEST ALBUM; REJECTED BY GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS

Earache Records is celebrating 25 years of bringing extreme metal to the masses and, as part of the celebrations, has released the World's Shortest Album, striking fear into the hearts of radio DJs everywhere.

Earache is no stranger to world records, having previously claimed two official Guinness World Records, for the world's shortest single with NAPALM DEATH's "You Suffer", as well as the world's shortest music video with BRUTAL TRUTH's "Collateral Damage".

Now, Earache is taking the idea of "shorter, faster, louder" to the extreme, with the shortest, fastest and loudest album around.  'Earache: World's Shortest Album' celebrates brevity as an art form, featuring 13 extreme, straight-to-the-point tracks totalling just 87 seconds, smashing the previous 121-second record held by Canadian dance group CHROMEO.

The attempt at setting the new record for the world's shortest album has been rejected by Guinness however, who no longer recognise "world's shortest" records, explaining:

"The nature of competing to make something the 'shortest' by its very nature trivialises the activity being carried out, and Guinness World Records has been forced to reject many claims of this kind.  As such, we have been forced to cease listing records for the shortest song, shortest poem and indeed the shortest concert."

'Earache: World's Shortest Album' is still available to the public however, and is out now on iTunes at http://bit.ly/Kx9MTi

The full track listing and times for the album are as follows:

01. Napalm Death - You Suffer (00:04)
02. Napalm Death - Dead (00:05)
03. Napalm Death - Your Achievement (00:06)
04. Wormrot - False Grind Sodomy (00:04)
05. Wormrot - You Suffer But Why Is It My Problem (00:04)
06. Brutal Truth - Collateral Damage (00:04)
07. A.C. - Howard Wulkan's Bald (00:09)
08. Lawnmower Deth - Be Scene Not Heard (00:07)
09. Painkiller - Trailmarker (00:08)
10. Brutal Truth - Blockhead (00:07)
11. Morbid Angel - Bil Ur-Sag #2 Lava (00:06)
12. A.C. - Windchimes Are Gay (00:10)
13. Insect Warfare - Street Sweeper (00:13)

Total running time - 01:27

The album is also available to listen to in full on YouTube at http://youtu.be/F8vDIJYWliI

RIVAL SONS REVEAL NEW ALBUM TITLE AND ARTWORK

RIVAL SONS have confirmed that the title of their brand new studio album will be HEAD DOWN.

The follow-up to the band's 2011 breakthrough album, PRESSURE & TIME, was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with Grammy-nominated producer DAVE COBB (JAMIE JOHNSON, SHOOTER JENNINGS) and Grammy-wining engineer VANCE POWELL (JACK WHITE, THE WHITE STRIPES, KINGS OF LEON).  The artwork was created by JASON HOLLEY (JOSH RITTER, RAY LAMONTAGNE).

View the cover artwork for HEAD DOWN at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/rivalsons_headdown.jpg

A brand new RIVAL SONS t-shirt featuring the HEAD DOWN artwork is available now in Europe at http://bit.ly/L8MvZb and in North America at http://bit.ly/JY74nv

RIVAL SONS frontman JAY BUCHANAN explains the album title:

"We took a lyric from one of the songs that exemplified the process of making the record.  Head Down comes from the term 'Keep your head down and keep on swinging'.  I thought it was fitting and it works perfectly with the album cover."

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY discusses the album artwork at:

"I began searching for the right artist for our cover on the interwebs, just mulling around, and very quickly came across Jason Holley.  I saw a couple of covers that he had done for Josh Ritter and Ray LaMontagne which I loved.  I was immediately taken aback by his aesthetic and style and felt he had a few pieces already done that I would be into using.  I sent some of his images over to Jay and he had the same immediate feeling I did... Which is pretty rare.  He could have been from anywhere in the world, but he just so happened to live about 30 minutes away from me, so I gave him a ring and we started talking.  We sent him the record and discussed ideas that we felt reflected the music and process.  He then created an original piece, painted in oil.  The end result is pretty symbolic and interesting - something that, in my opinion, reflects the record beautifully."

HEAD DOWN is due to be released in late August on Earache Records.

EVILE CONFIRM WOLF AS SPECIAL GUESTS FOR UK TOUR; ADD TWO IRISH DATES

EVILE have confirmed that Swedish heavy metallers WOLF will be joining the band as special guests for their recently-confirmed UK tour, which kicks off on October 18th in Glasgow.

EVILE will also be returning to Ireland and Northern Ireland on the trek, following two shows there with MACHINE HEAD earlier this week.  Two shows have been added to the tour - Belfast on October 20th, and Dublin on October 21st.

EVILE guitarist OL DRAKE comments:

"We're very pleased to announce the first band on our tour of the UK & IRE in October 2012 is the awesome WOLF.  Evile and Wolf's paths have crossed many times and it's going to be great to follow the same path for these shows.  They're such a great band and they're going to add so much energy and enjoyment to the gigs.  They were kind enough to donate Wolf gear to the Mike Alexander raffle which we ran back in 2009 too.  I can't wait to get back out on the road for our UK & IRE fans and bring along the heavy metal thunder in the name of WOLF!

"We've just added a date in Belfast and a date in Dublin, so check the flyer and get your tickets early!  I don't want to hear about more kids in Evile shirts being turned away at the door from having no tickets! *Metal sad face*"
