CARCASS: 'HEARTWORK' FULL DYNAMIC RANGE EDITION OUT NOW

HEARTWORK, the classic album from British grindcore/death metal legends CARCASS, has been remastered with Full Dynamic Range audio and is available now on limited edition CD and LP.

Originally released in 1993, HEARTWORK was CARCASS' biggest-selling album, and their first to land in the top 50 of the UK charts.  The album has been specially remastered from the original tapes using Full Dynamic Range (FDR) mastering, allowing the music's nuances to shine through and giving the whole album a more ferocious, immersive and dynamic sound than ever before.

The typical method of delivery for mastered audio involves using heavy limiting to restrict the dynamic range and increase perceived loudness.  However, this results in unwanted artifacts caused by the process, such as the increased likelihood of distortion.  This led to what is known as "the loudness wars", with the dynamic range of music being restricted more and more in an effort to make it sound louder.

Full Dynamic Range, on the other hand, delivers music at its optimum sound level dynamically, leaving the listener to decide on the playback level.  This means that the track is not heavily limited to increase perceived loudness - you hear the tracks as they were made and intended to sound, with no loss of quality.

For more information about Full Dynamic Range audio, go to http://www.fdrhd.com

The HEARTWORK Full Dynamic Range edition is available now on CD, including four bonus tracks and a limited edition slipcase sleeve, and is also available on limited edition coloured vinyl LP in the following quantities and colours:

100 - Desensitized White (SOLD OUT)
200 - Right Ventricle Blue (SOLD OUT)
300 - Left Ventricle Red (SOLD OUT)
400 - Perpetual Decay Green
900 - Bleeding Dark Black

Get the HEARTWORK Full Dynamic Range Edition now on CD and LP in Europe at http://bit.ly/16UEqNB or in North America at http://bit.ly/JC3gfM

The HEARTWORK Full Dynamic Range Edition is also available now on iTunes at http://bit.ly/18v7bDP

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT guitarist LUKE POTASHNICK comments:

"We cut the record live in four days at the Fish Factory in Willesden, London.  It has a great API Legacy desk and a Studer tape machine - that's all we needed.  This album is about friendship, good times and redemption - losing your way, then finding it - over and over.  It's very song-driven, before the drums and guitars were the songs - and they were easy to write.  We wrote with open hearts and fed off the music we all loved growing up.  There was no commercial agenda, just to write and perform good music that was real."

Guitarist PAUL SAYER adds:

"I'm really excited that we can now tell everyone when and where to get our album.  I know there are people looking forward to hearing it and it's amazing that it's already in the pre-order charts.  All our heart and soul went into making it and I'm immensely proud of it."

UK METALLERS TMIS (THE MORE I SEE) SPEAK OUT IN SUPPORT OF SPOTIFY

In the wake of RADIOHEAD frontman THOM YORKE's recent criticism of music-streaming platform Spotify, British metallers THE MORE I SEE have spoken out in support of the service and the huge benefits it can bring to developing artists.

While such big-name artists as METALLICA and PINK FLOYD have recently joined Spotify, YORKE claims that new artists cannot expect to make any money from the service.  However, THE MORE I SEE argue that Spotify offers much more by exposing bands to a wider audience, having supported TMIS with an exclusive launch of their new EP with the same global marketing recently offered to the likes of DAFT PUNK and CAZZETTE.

THE MORE I SEE lead guitarist and founding member GIZZ BUTT comments:

"In the late '90s, Radiohead were the alternative band that I loved the most; so much so that they influenced much of my own songwriting between 2000 and 2003.  Reading Thom Yorke give the thumbs down to Spotify could be relevant to my band, The More I See, as yesterday our 3-track EP was 'launched' through Spotify, so hearing about profiteering shareholders and unpaid new artists could make me anxious, no doubt.  However, we are in an era where people need introductions in new ways.  It's not gonna happen through listening booths in HMV and it's not gonna happen through John Peel.  Not anymore.

"I've already made purchases from recommendations which I checked out firstly on Spotify and then I made my purchase.  Online, of course.  Today I asked a young guitar player, 14 years old, 'Have you heard of the band Radiohead?', to which he replied, 'Who?'.  You can guess that would be the answer from a generation that are ignorant of The Sex Pistols, The Clash and even Joy Division!  Would you say rock is dead?  Try saying that to Guns N' Roses and Black Sabbath - and they are most certainly on Spotify.

"Thom Yorke gave us an idea that it may work out to 'give your music away'.  We tried it with our second album.  Biggest mistake I've ever made as an artist.  So now Thom says 'Veto Spotify!'.  Tell you what, 'Yorkie'... I'll trust my own instincts, OK."

Listen to "The Eye That Offends EP" from THE MORE I SEE exclusively on Spotify at http://spoti.fi/18geI9B

The official music video for the track, "The Eye That Offends", which was filmed on the actual set of Star Wars in Tunisia, is available to watch now at http://youtu.be/5KkkiHYp6nY

"The Eye That Offends" is taken from THE MORE I SEE's new studio album, THE DISAPPEARING HUMANS, which is due to be released on August 26th in Europe on Earache Records, and on October 1st in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records.  The album was mixed by producer SCOTT ATKINS (SYLOSIS, BEHEMOTH, SAVAGE MESSIAH) and mastered at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios with STEVE ROOKE (THE BEATLES).

Pre-order THE DISAPPEARING HUMANS now from the Earache Webstore in Europe at http://bit.ly/10W7yFp or in North America at http://bit.ly/13krQVH

THE DISAPPEARING HUMANS is also available to pre-order now on iTunes, featuring an exclusive bonus track, at http://bit.ly/11Qcxdh

THE MORE I SEE RELEASE 'THE EYE THAT OFFENDS' VIDEO AND E.P.

British metallers TMIS (THE MORE I SEE) have released their first official music video for the track, "The Eye That Offends", which was filmed on the set of Star Wars in Northern Africa.

TMIS drove for six hours across the Tunisian desert to shoot the video, performing at three iconic sets from the Star Wars movies - remarkably still standing years after being abandoned, preserved in the arid desert heat.  The result is a visually stunning spectacle that perfectly compliments the band's energetic performance.

Watch the video for "The Eye That Offends" now at http://youtu.be/5KkkiHYp6nY

TMIS frontman JAMES CLUER comments:

"I'm a massive fan of Star Wars, so to visit Tunisia and film at some of the greatest film locations ever was really special.  It was such an incredible experience to perform at the mighty canyons of the Jundland Wastes (Episode IV: A New Hope), where Luke Skywalker and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO first meet Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as the city of Mos Espa (Episode I: The Phantom Menace), and especially Luke Skywalker's home - Lars homestead (Episode IV: A New Hope).  It was a childhood dream of mine to see the igloo, and to get to film there with the sun setting behind us was something I'll never forget!"

The video for "The Eye That Offends" was filmed with director PHIL BERRIDGE of Creative Junkie Media.

TMIS have also released a three-track EP exclusively on Spotify.  Listen to "The Eye That Offends EP" now at http://spoti.fi/18geI9B

"The Eye That Offends" is taken from THE MORE I SEE's new studio album, THE DISAPPEARING HUMANS, which is due to be released on August 26th in Europe on Earache Records, and on October 1st in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records.  The album was mixed by producer SCOTT ATKINS (SYLOSIS, BEHEMOTH, SAVAGE MESSIAH) and mastered at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios with STEVE ROOKE (THE BEATLES).

DIAMOND PLATE REVEAL NEW ALBUM TITLE AND ARTWORK

Chicago's DIAMOND PLATE have officially revealed that their upcoming new album will be titled PULSE.

The follow-up to DIAMOND PLATE's 2011 debut album, GENERATION WHY?, was recorded with producer NEIL KERNON (JUDAS PRIEST, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD) at Studio Chicago in the band's hometown.  DIAMOND PLATE revealed the album title to fans by posting one letter each day over the last week until the title was complete.

DIAMOND PLATE comments:

"During the months of recording, the album took on a life of its own.  Our goal was to capture the energy of a live band, and working with Neil gave us the freedom to create the music we've always wanted to play.  A straightforward explanation of the title 'PULSE' is that it represents music, or life, in its purest form.  The real meaning behind the album can only be discovered by the person using his/her ears."

The artwork for PULSE was created by artist GUSTAVO SAZES (MORBID ANGEL, ARCH ENEMY, SEPULTURA).  View the artwork at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/diamondplate_pulse.jpg

PULSE is due to be released on August 20th in the USA via Century Media/Earache Records and on digital formats in Europe on August 19th.

RIVAL SONS ANNOUNCE U.S. TOUR INCLUDING SHOWS WITH SAMMY HAGAR

RIVAL SONS have confirmed dates for a US tour, including a number of shows with rock legend SAMMY HAGAR (MONTROSE, VAN HALEN, CHICKENFOOT).

RIVAL SONS will be kicking off their tour on August 20th with a number of headlining dates, and have also been invited to perform a select number of shows with one of their heroes, SAMMY HAGAR, on his "Four Decades of Rock" summer tour.

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:

"Well, we're finally hitting our homeland for a handful of tour dates.  Ask and ye shall receive!  And what a cool thing to get to go out and support a legend and super cool fella like Mr. Sammy Hagar.  I think this one's gonna be a blast!"

SAMMY HAGAR, himself a long-time fan of RIVAL SONS, comments:

"These guys are the real thing.  Their first CD was great, showing off a lot of styles from the '60s, '70s and '80s.  These boys have done their homework... now road-tested.  The Sons have made a CD (HEAD DOWN) that truly lives up to the band's name.  This is a giant step from a great previous CD... not easy.  But for those that like classic rock but are tired of the same old songs, I highly recommend this CD... and even better, go see 'em live - they deliver."
