CEREBRAL BORE FORCED TO CANCEL NORTH AMERICAN TOUR; CONFIRM NEUROTIC DEATHFEST

Scottish death metallers CEREBRAL BORE have regrettably been forced to cancel their previously-announced North American tour with GOATWHORE and HATE ETERNAL due to unforeseen circumstances regarding visas.

CEREBRAL BORE aim to return to North America as soon as possible, but have since been added as the final band for this year's Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands, joining the likes of CANNIBAL CORPSE, BEHEMOTH, NAPALM DEATH, SUFFOCATION, DECAPITATED and more.  The band are scheduled to perform on the main stage this Friday, 2nd March at 7:00pm.

CEREBRAL BORE guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE comments:

"After the countless hours of work we did in order to prepare for the tour, it was a pretty heavy blow to not end up making it...  But I'm sure we won't be the last band not to make it on to a tour because of a visa hold up.  We have to accept that these things happen sometimes and you can't do anything besides wait.

"We had a lot of things to look forward to on the tour, like a music video shoot in Hollywood, a show at the infamous Whiskey A Go Go club on Sunset Boulevard, our first ever shows in Canada and the chance to play to a bigger and wider number of fans in the US than ever before.  But as I say, this visa problem was a one-off hold up, and we WILL be back in the States in the coming months to make up for it!

"So now, after being so lucky as to be offered the famous final slot on the main stage at Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands this coming Friday, we get the chance to get on a stage and unleash two weeks worth of pent-up fury caused by the visa problems...  Expect absolute warfare and some new material being played for the first time!"

RIVAL SONS TALK ABOUT UPCOMING TOUR, 'PRESSURE & TIME' REDUX

Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS are preparing to release a special redux version of their 2011 breakthrough album, PRESSURE & TIME, a day after they kick off a European tour.

The band will start the tour on March 11th with a run of UK dates with BLACK STONE CHERRY, before heading on to mainland Europe for a number of headlining shows.

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:

"We're looking forward to getting back to our 'home away from home', Europe, and specifically the UK.  Since we were last out there we did a tour of the States and a quick run through Canada, where we pleasantly received an overwhelming response, which is fantastic.  This time we'll be joining up with the band Black Stone Cherry for the UK dates - we hear they do really well in the UK, and are a buncha good dudes.

"The rest of Europe will see us on our own, headlining again - great response last time, and it looks like this tour is already selling really well.  We'll have our follow-up record wrapped up before we leave for the tour (which we're working on feverishly right now), so I suspect we'll be feeling good and fired up to get cracking back on stage every night.  Might even sneak a new number in here and there.

"Dearest UK and European friends - we see you are starved of the rock 'n' roll - famished even - and that makes us sad.  No one deserves that!  So now, we will bring you the rock 'n' roll sandwich.  That's us... the Rival Sons.  See ya soon."

Due to be released on March 12th, the PRESSURE & TIME limited edition CD redux includes two bonus tracks, "Company Man" and "Life For This Road", plus a bonus DVD featuring the following videos:

* "Gypsy Heart", "Pressure and Time" and "Soul" live from High Voltage festival 2011
* "Pressure and Time" live backstage at Werchter festival 2011
* "Pressure and Time", "All Over the Road" and "Get What's Coming" official music videos
* Pressure & Time promotional trailer

RIVAL SONS drummer MICHAEL MILEY comments:

"We're stoked to release this content because we wanted to give fans the chance to own some of the extras - there's tons of video footage as extras, but up until now our videos have only been available on YouTube.  We're proud to give people a visual of what we do.  Not everyone is YouTube savvy, and videos online are at the whim of internet.  It's good for people to have a hard copy of this."

RIVAL SONS frontman JAY BUCHANAN adds:

"Evidently Pressure & Time keeps building steam all over the place and it's not ready to die, so the label wanted to give it another shot.  We're releasing a third single for that record so someone must be hot for it!  It'll have a couple of B-sides from those sessions, videos for the singles and some live footage.  If you want any of that, buy one!"

NAPALM DEATH: 'SCUM' 25-YEAR SPECIAL EDITION TO BE RELEASED

It's an extreme noise pleasure!

SCUM, the classic 1987 debut album from grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH, is due to be re-released on limited edition redux CD and coloured vinyl LP on March 5th.

To celebrate 25 years since the release of the most influential grindcore album ever made, SCUM has been remastered especially for this release from the original tapes with Full Dynamic Range (FDR), allowing the music's nuances to shine through and giving the whole album a more ferocious and dynamic sound than ever before, and enabling the listener to immerse in the full audio chaos like never before.

Original NAPALM DEATH guitarist and founding member MICK HARRIS states: "It sounds wicked - that record still holds up today and I'm proud I was part of it."

This full dynamic range release is a reaction to the loudness war which has affected the music scene since the '90s, with artists and labels striving to producer ever-louder CDs.  Earache firmly believes the playback volume should be in the hands of the listener, not the producer - that's what the volume control is for!

See a comparison of the "Scum" full dynamic range audio against the previous version at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/scum_fdr.jpg

More FDR releases are planned, including NAPALM DEATH's follow-up release, FROM ENSLAVEMENT TO OBLITERATION.  For more information about Full Dynamic Range, head to http://turnmeup.org

The limited edition SCUM CD comes housed in a digipak sleeve and includes the previously unreleased rough mix of the entire album as a bonus, complete with original ad libs and intros from the studio and an alternate version of the title track.  The collector's LP version is available in the following quantities and colours:

100 - Lime Green
200 - Lilac
300 - Magenta
800 - Black & White

Pre-order the SCUM limited edition redux now on CD and LP in Europe at http://bit.ly/eJNfYm or in North America at http://bit.ly/zZlSqS

EVILE TO MAKE LIVE DEBUT OF "IN MEMORIAM" IN MANCHESTER IN MEMORY OF DAVID GOLD

EVILE are planning to play their heart-wrenching song, "In Memoriam", live for the first time ever this weekend in memory of WOODS OF YPRES frontman DAVID GOLD, who tragically passed away on 22nd December.

EVILE will be performing at the HMV Ritz in Manchester, UK this Saturday, 11th February with CEREBRAL BORE and SAVAGE MESSIAH as part of HMV's Next Big Thing, where WOODS OF YPRES were also originally scheduled to perform.  EVILE have revealed that they will be performing "In Memoriam" - which is taken from the band's new album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH - as a tribute to their fallen labelmate.

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE has issued the following statement:

"We were all deeply saddened to hear the news of Woods of Ypres' mastermind David Gold passing away.  Their obvious cancellation of the Manchester show left a big hole in the lineup I was so looking forward to seeing and being a part of.  We've been thinking of airing 'In Memoriam' live for a while, so we'd like to not only play the song for our own reasons, but to also play it at the upcoming Manchester show in memory of David."

Tickets for the HMV Next Big Thing show in Manchester are still available and cost just £10, with no booking fee charged.  Get your tickets now at http://www.hmvtickets.com/events/4945

CAULDRON NOMINATED FOR JUNO AWARD

Canadian heavy metal trio CAULDRON have been nominated at the 2012 Juno Awards - the Canadian equivalent of the Grammy Awards.

CAULDRON have been nominated for their latest album, BURNING FORTUNE, in the "Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year" category, alongside fellow Canadian musicians ANVIL, DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, FUCK THE FACTS and KEN MODE.

CAULDRON guitarist IAN CHAINS comments:

"Nice to see heavy metal getting some acknowledgement in Canada.  It doesn't matter if it's not mainstream and not everyone gets it.  There's still a great level of artistic value within and a lot of hard work that goes into every aspect of what these bands do.  We're proud to know that our achievements, however small when compared to mainstream acts, are still getting some recognition.  Lay down your soul to the god's rock 'n' roll!"

CEREBRAL BORE PREPARE TO ENTER THE STUDIO TO RECORD NEW TRACK

Scottish death metallers CEREBRAL BORE are preparing to enter the studio to record a brand new track.

CEREBRAL BORE are heading to Foel Studio in Wales for two days with producer CHRIS FIELDING, who also produced the band's debut album, MANIACAL MISCREATION, to record the as-yet untitled new track.

CEREBRAL BORE guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE comments:

"We have decided to go into the studio and bash out some new material, and get an idea of how the new stuff will sound on the upcoming album.  We have a lot of work going on right now with writing and touring, and we think that our fans deserve to hear some new material.  Hopefully this will whet some appetites for the album which will be worked on in the coming months.  We get to go back to Foel studios, where we recorded the debut album, and work again with Chris Fielding, who also produced our debut album.  Working with Chris is great, and his work rate is through the roof, so it keeps the energy up and makes the whole process fast and exciting.  With any luck, we will come out with something that does us justice, and slaughters the listener and their immediate family."

Following their time in the studio, CEREBRAL BORE will be heading to Manchester for a special show as part of HMV's Next Big Thing on February 11th with EVILE and SAVAGE MESSIAH, before jetting off to the USA and Canada for a tour with GOATWHORE and HATE ETERNAL.

Olympus Studios in Los Angeles.  It will be the band's first album to feature vocalist MAURO GONZALEZ and bassist JESSIE SANCHEZ.

"It'll be the first record with Mauro and Jessie, who have been great additions to the line-up, and the four of us really connected well during the writing and rehearsing of this album.  The playing on this album will be top-notch.  We're glad to be recording in Los Angeles, and excited to work with Logan.  We can't wait to get started and we hope everybody enjoys it as much as we do - watch for video updates from the studio!  YEAH!"
