EVILE - NEW INTERVIEW WITH LEVIATAN METAL MAGAZINE

EVILE - NEW INTERVIEW WITH LEVIATAN METAL MAGAZINE

In a brand new interview with Leviatan Metal Magazine, EVILE guitarist, Ol Drake offers a no holds barred look on life, love and THRASH.

On EVILE's support slot with MACHINE HEAD:

"It was our first time meeting, seeing and playing with MACHINE HEAD. Our expectations were high, as they have a great reputation in the biz (at least as far as I know). We knew they'd be tight as hell and would be on the ball 100%, which they were. Excellent live band. Robb (Flynn) was a really nice guy. He came out of his way to come and thank us for supporting. He's really up on the whole new 'revival' Thrash scene, which surprised me. Had a really cool time!"

On EVILE's early days as a METALLICA cover band:

"I'm so glad we did the covers band thing. We learnt everything about being in a metal band from it. Life on the road, live shows etc. It opened our eyes to the different life style. Someone could be asked what their job is "Oh I work at a bank" and we could then answer "Oh I play noise at people and sleep on guitar cabs in a van. I don't get paid for it either!". Generally it doesn't sound normal, so I'm glad we got into it. THRASSHSHH!H!!!!"

On EVILE's place in the resurgence of thrash:

"the album was created with a pure passion for Thrash Metal. We wrote the songs with a love for the music, and we recorded it with a love for the music. We didn't change styles to be in with the new 'Thrash Trend' as we were doing it years before this "revival" happened. I think if a band tries to be Thrash when they don't genuinely live and love the music, it shows. It's like if we tried doing some screamy-shouty-Emo haircut crap, we'd suck, because we hate it. "

GAMA BOMB ISSUE 'CITIZEN BRAIN' STUDIO REPORT

GAMA BOMB ISSUE 'CITIZEN BRAIN' STUDIO REPORT

Crazed Irish thrashers Gama Bomb are currently holed up in Grindstone
Studios in Suffolk with producer Scott Atkins, putting the finishing touches
to their imminent debut album, 'Citizen Brain'.

Singer Philly checked in from the recording session to explain how things
have progressed so far:

DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONT PT. 1 - Studio Report

"How do, thrash farmers,

The G-Max lads are now one week into the recording of our Earache debut
Citizen Brain at Grindstone Studios in deepest, darkest Suffolk with Scott
"Cliffhanger 2" Atkins, and what a week it's been. Three days of tracking
drums saw Paul nail every song down and left him literally letting off some
steam (a la Commando's Captain Bennett) as he sweated off the pounds in the
live room. We're currently editing the resulting tracks and preparing to lay
down rhythm guitars. Evil ones.

Aside from that we're hanging out in the amazing luxury holiday home the E
lads have arranged for us (it's a bit like Radiohead's OK Computer house,
except we're enjoying ourselves), drinking tea in the mornings, beers in the
afternoons, hot whiskey in the evenings and a mixture of all three until the
wee hours of the morning. We're also continuing our quest to watch Italian
shlock horror masterpiece Rats: Night Of Terror 10 times before completing
the album (three and counting) and harassing the neighbour's cats with our
massively-amped riffage in the night

We're ready to lay down some killer geetars next, followed by some
bone-rattling bass, some eye-watering lead and some
shit-on-a-stick-in-the-face vocals, which will surely make Citizen Brain one
of the greatest thrash albums since Hellion Bastion's Pit Commando. We made
that up. Here's how the first week of recording breaks down in figures. Read
them. Know them. Forget them instantly. It's only fashion.

Pounds spent on alcohol: 120
Drum tracks completed: 15
Number of jokes about wanking: 1,456
Number of jokes about Jeremy Beadle: 300
Amount of times Rats: Night Of Terror watched: 3
Hours spent playing Grand Theft Auto: 24
Declarations of love: 5
Shits: 40 +
Musical Diet: Omen, Steeler, Raven, Agent Steel, Ding Dong Denny O'Reilly,
Bruce Springsteen, Mr Big, David Lee Roth, Taste, Tom Waits and God knows
what else...
Food Diet: Toast. And crisps.
Life expectancy for average GB member: 3 months

GAMA BOMB - Faster Is Gooder"

'Citizen Brain' will see a May release.

Check out GAMA BOMB's demo songs on their myspace page

The band have confirmed UK tour dates with Exodus:

08.04.08 UK London - The Underworld
09.04.08 UK Leeds - Rio's
10.04.08 UK Ireland - Voodoo Lounge

BIOMECHANICAL RELEASE 'CANNIBALISED'

BIOMECHANICAL RELEASE 'CANNIBALISED'

British wide screen full-on metallers Biomechanical release their third
album through Earache Records his week.

Entitled "CANNIBALISED" the album is the culmination of a musical journey
through "Eight Moons" and "The Empires of the Worlds" and concludes the
complex trilogy.

Frontman John K comments:
"There are no compromises on this album. It¹s Metal without boundaries and
as much energy as we could possibly deliver."

ŒCannibalised¹ is not for the faint hearted. Pummeling and relentless, this
is the most complex record Biomechanical mastermind John K has created to
date. Cinematic, high definition heavy metal, the album in many ways
reflects the character of the creator; intense and frenzied, almost
schizophrenic and yet determined and ambitious. The limited edition first
pressing comes with 4 exclusive orchestral tracks.

Produced with legendary producer Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin
Lizzy, Bruce Dickinson), the album showcases all of the trademark components
that earned Biomechanical rave reviews worldwide ­ a stellar vocal attack
incorporating shrill high pitch vocals mixed with guttural growls,
technically flawless playing and incredible guitar solos. The new album
takes things still further, with John K¹s love of soundtrack music even more
evident, giving the tracks a widescreen feel that really help bring to the
album a cinematic edge and depth. At the same time, this is easily the most
aggressive and confrontational album the band has yet delivered, raging from
the speakers in a multi layered scattergun approach. To say the album is
ambitious is hardly doing it justice.

The reactions to the album have been singular in their praise:

Kerrang KKKK - "It's the fact that they push everything so far that
ultimately makes 'Cannibalised' work, the melodrama infusing the album
presenting a band who aren't afraid to go all out. Good on 'em."

Classic Rock 8/10 - "A thoroughly lethal dose of face-pounding extremity"

Metal Hammer 9/10 - "A gloriously deranged masterpiece"

Biomechanical set out on tour next week - catch them live on these dates:

BIOMECHANICAL w/ Outcryfire
18.02.08 The Underworld, London
19.02.08 Joiners, Southampton
20.02.08 Junktion 7, Nottingham
21.02.08 Cathouse, Glasgow
22.02.08 Rio's, Leeds

BONDED BY BLOOD - RECORDING 'FEED THE BEAST' B-SIDES IN CALIFORNIA

BONDED BY BLOOD - RECORDING 'FEED THE BEAST' B-SIDES IN CALIFORNIA

Though the recording of their full-length EARACHE debut, FEED THE BEAST may be over, the work never stops for BONDED BY BLOOD. After a brief rest, the band went right back into the studio over the weekend to record some extra tracks that had developed over the course of their FEED THE BEAST sessions.

"We made these songs up in the studio while we were over in Sacramento;" recalls BONDED BY BLOOD vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales. "We'd be sitting around playing video games and all of a sudden, these riffs and licks would come to us."

By the time that the band had grown more comfortable with the surplus of new material they'd quickly created, their time in the studio was already up.  However, with persistence, the band got approval to hit the studio a 2nd time just to record the new extra tracks for inclusion elsewhere. "I know that these songs aren't going to be ready for FEED THE BEAST," says Aladdin, "but the important thing is that we recorded 'em while we still had the energy carrying over from the first session."

How are BONDED BY BLOOD's latest creations turning out, you ask? Let Aladdin give you a brief description. "They're coming up really really good so far...definitely more political than most of our other stuff and sounds like a mix between NUCLEAR ASSAULT and TESTAMENT." "It really makes me want to move, too. If the new stuff makes me want to go skate so it's gotta be good."

Keep posted to www.myspace.com/bondedbybloodfeedthebeast for more information about BONDED BY BLOOD's upcoming EARACHE debut, FEED THE BEAST and the album's promising B-sides.

THE HAUNTED - CD/DVD EDITION OF 'THE HAUNTED MADE ME DO IT' AVAILABLE NOW!

Where the innovation of AT THE GATES' extreme bombast left off, THE HAUNTED picked it up and transformed the gothenburg sound into something even heavier and more monstrous. There's no better example of THE HAUNTED's path of destruction than the album that many consider to be the band's magnum opus; THE HAUNTED MADE ME DO IT.

Unearthed for a new generation, the 'Classic Metal' CD/DVD edition of THE HAUNTED MADE ME DO IT features the original full length album. Deemed "...more innovative and intense than any metal band..." by All Music Guide, THE HAUNTED truly outshine themselves on tracks like "Bury Your Dead" and the anthemic "Hollow Ground." Also included is a bonus DVD featuring 2 complete live performances from the 'Made Me Do It World Tour', a behind the scenes documentary, interviews with the band, special audio-only tracks and much more!

For a full tracklisting and to order the 'Classic Metal' CD/DVD edition of THE HAUNTED - THE HAUNTED MADE ME DO IT from the EARACHE U.S. Webstore, go to http://www.earachestore.com/store/product233.html

BLOOD RED THRONE - NEW INTERVIEW ON PIVOTAL RAGE

BLOOD RED THRONE - NEW INTERVIEW ON PIVOTAL RAGE

Pivotal Rage recently spoke with Død, guitarist of the groove-laden Norwegian death metallers, BLOOD RED THRONE. Among the many topics talked about are recording techniques, touring, "the BLOOD RED THRONE curse," the finer points of tour bus surfing and the various inspirations that contribute to the band's signature sound:

"I've listened to US death metal since 1992 and I still think the old classic bands are the best;" says Død "So, obviously I'm inspired by those bands when I write my death metal. But seriously, I can't recollect ONE US death metal band in 2008 sounding like BRT! Nevertheless, we're not in for the originality. We're in for making good quality death metal, and we don't give a shit if it sounds American or Chinese!"

Read Pivotal Rage's interview with BLOOD RED THRONE guitarist, Død here:  http://webzine.pivotalalliance.com/interviews.php?subaction=showfull&id=1201584602&archive=&start_from=&ucat=1&

BLOOD RED THRONE is bringing their brand of bloody, ballistic death metal all across the world in 2008. Check them out at these dates:

04 Ankara Turkey
30 Neurotic Death Metal Festival, Holland    

AUGUST
14-16 Summer Breeze Festival, Dinkelsbuhl, Germany

According to Metal Mayhem UK, BLOOD RED THRONE's new album, COME DEATH "...has an old school death metal feel: pummeling bass and ripping guitars will leave listeners feeling like a corpse in Ed Gein's wed shed: gutted, decapitated and hung out to dry."

BONDED BY BLOOD - OWN A PIECE OF THRASH HISTORY

BONDED BY BLOOD - OWN A PIECE OF THRASH HISTORY

California thrashers, BONDED BY BLOOD recently completed the recording of their debut album, FEED THE BEAST. During their time in the studio, vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales was given a leather jacket as a gift to commemorate the recording experience. Although Aladdin proudly wore the jacket for some time, he ultimately felt it was too small for him. Not wanting to simply waste a good gift, Aladdin thought about making the jacket available to his fans:

"Our fans have been so good to us that if I couldn't give them the shirt off my back, I should give them my jacket instead;" says energetic frontman, Aladdin.

This size 38 black leather jacket (shown here: http://www.earache.com/public/jacket.jpg) was worn during the recording sessions of BONDED BY BLOOD's debut album, FEED THE BEAST. Aladdin's jacket is already a piece of thrash history and it's sure to get snatched up by a fellow thrashing maniac fast. Go to www.myspace.com/bondedbyblood to get more info on it and if you'd like to make an offer to buy it, contact the band via their myspace profile.

BIOMECHANICAL to guest on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6 rock show this Friday

BIOMECHANICAL to guest on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6 rock show this Friday

Hi-definition metallers Biomechanical will guest on Bruce Dickinson's BBC6
Rock Show this Friday 25th Jan at 10pm UK time.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/bruce_dickinson/

Recorded in London last week, Dickinson talks to John K and new
Biomechanical guitarist Chris Van Hayden about the new album, flying planes,
recording and drum sound as well as playing tracks from 'Cannibalised'.

Biomechanical mainman John K states:

"I have been a huge fan of Maiden and I never had the chance to meet any of
the members so it was a big deal for me to meet Bruce. He has also been a
huge influence on me so it was just a great experience and a bit surreal
talking about 'Cannibalised' with him.

The show was great fun, I went with guitarist Chris Van Hayden who is also a
fighter pilot. So Bruce and Chris had lots to talk about in the studio
and I was trying to follow the flying discussions with a baffled look on my
face! Cheers to Bruce for having us, it was awesome meeting the main man!"

Listen in to hear tracks from the forthcoming new album 'Cannibalised',
released 11th Feb 2008. The limited edition first pressing comes with 4
exclusive bonus orchestral tracks.

BIOMECHANICAL - JOHN K REVEALS HIS TOP 5 FILM SCORES OF ALL TIME

BIOMECHANICAL - JOHN K REVEALS HIS TOP 5 FILM SCORES OF ALL TIME

It's no secret that BIOMECHANICAL mastermind, John K is a connoisseur of film scores. All of the studying he did on film score composition, orchestration and instrumentation techniques eventually helped to form a big part of BIOMECHANICAL's unique sound.

While the influences on the metal side (such as John K's piercing Rob Halford-like screams) are apparent to most metal fans who listen to BIOMECHANICAL, a recent conversation with John K revealed what he believes to be his top 5 favorite and most influential film scores of all time:

1) The Empire Strikes Back - John Williams
2) Dracula (1979)- John Williams
3) Alien-Jerry Goldsmith
4) Interview With a Vampire -Elliot Goldenthal
5) Krull-James Horner

Get more insight on BIOMECHANICAL and their new album, CANNIBALISED as our very own Talita Jenman interviews the band from EARACHE U.K.'s recent xmas party. Watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rfL617hK3s

BONDED BY BLOOD - 'FEED THE BEAST' COVER ART REVEALED

BONDED BY BLOOD - 'FEED THE BEAST' COVER ART REVEALED

Picking up where the cover for EXTINGUISH THE WEAK left off, BONDED BY BLOOD's mascot, Brutus faces off with the devil on the cover of the band's EARACHE debut, FEED THE BEAST.

With its dynamic comic book-style artwork, FEED THE BEAST's cover conveys not only the sense of danger and electricity that is personified in the music, but a deeper meaning is conveyed as well. "The artwork represents my whole view on Los Angeles. It takes you in and spits you back out," says vocalist, Jose "Aladdin" Barrales. "LA is like a beast, if you don't do the right "thing" you will end up on the streets. I think Tom, the artist, took my interpretation and made it come alive."

Check out the cover art of FEED THE BEAST here: http://www.earache.com/public/FeedTheBeast.jpg

BONDED BY BLOOD will commence the recording of FEED THE BEAST with producer Michael Rosen (TESTAMENT, DEATH ANGEL) on January 11th 2008 at J Street Recorders in Sacramento, CA.

Tracklist
01. Immortal Life
02. Feed The Beast
03. The Evil Within
04. Another Disease
05. Unusual Punishment
06. Vengeance
07. To A Sickening Degree.
08. Strike Of Fear
09. Sounds Of Torture
10. Necropsy
11. Self-Immolation
*Bonus Track: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Theme Song

and chuffed to be on the road with Megadeth. I myself have been a fan of
Megadeth for years so this is especially awesome for me.
This'll be the most people we'll have ever played to, so its such a huge
opportunity to kick more people in the face with our metal. Come out and
have as much fun as we're gonna have.
