Italy's greatest musical export, LACUNA COIL, have
returned with the massively anticipated, new full-length
release, Shallow Life. The album was recorded with
acclaimed producer Don Gilmore (Avril Lavigne, Linkin
Park, Pearl Jam) at the famed NRG Studios in Los
Angeles. This new effort is another huge step forward in
the band's continuous evolution and marks their first fulllength
since 2006's Karmacode and promises to be well
worth the wait. It has been years since an artist came
along that could redefine a genre, but this group has the

One of the most anticipated and talked about reunions of 2008
was without a doubt the reformation of EARTH CRISIS. The
pioneers of the hardcore, straight edge movement have now
officially made the decision to carry on with the band fulltime
and are proud to announce a new worldwide deal with Century
Media Records. The group have crafted their most angst ridden
and unrelenting offering of their already stellar career and
this effort is going to serve as a much needed wake up call to
the masses.

Since their inception in 2004, the Riverside, CA quintet SUICIDE
SILENCE have worked feverishly to carve out their own
unique niche within the metal scene and in doing so they developed
an undeniable buzz with legions of diehard supporters.
Now the group are poised to take things to the next level with
their monstrous new offering, No Time To Bleed, which was
recorded with acclaimed producer Machine (Lamb Of God).
This summer, blood will be shed.
IWRESTLEDA BEARONCE, the electro-metal-trip-hopdance-
jazz pioneers from Shreveport, LA, recently
wrapped up the recording of their debut full length for
Century Media Records. The band locked themselves
inside the home of producer Ross Robinson for over
two months with producer & engineer Ryan Boesch
(Norma Jean).
Now, IWRESTLEDA BEARONCE has left the sunny city
of Los Angeles and are preparing to wrestle fans across
the country. The band plans to be on the road throughout
this year and into next. Get ready, metal just got gay.

SWORN ENEMY have returned with a scathing new
assault, Total World Domination, that is unquestionably
their most impressive and destructive release yet.
Featuring a newly reinvigorated lineup, this 10-track offering
takes the group’s sound to new heights, which sees
them embracing a thrashier edge and pummeling the listener
with unbridled aggression.
SWORN ENEMY have a legion of diehard fans after three
acclaimed albums, As Real As It Gets (2003), The
Beginning Of The End (2006) and Maniacal (2008), and
through high profile tours alongside Slipknot, Fear Factory,
Hatebreed and Suicide Silence, among countless others.
Look for them to tour North America and the world at large
relentlessly throughout 2009.
'80s thrash bands are still cherished by their longtime fans
and many have gone to be considered ‘classics’ amongst a
younger generation. Combine that with many old-school
bands reuniting or jamming with original members (Anthrax,
Testament, Sodom, Possessed) and it’s easy to see why
thrash metal is seeing such a resurgence. Los Angeles is
leading the charge and for the past few years local band
shows have been pulling average audiences of well over
500 kids.
There are many instances where the media and fans
create misconceptions as to what a certain band sounds
like or they simply get lumped into a genre after numerous
tours with artists from the same scene. Well, the
Atlanta based quintet DÅÅTH certainly set out on a mission
to truly separate themselves from the rest when
recording their much anticipated new album, The
Concealers, which is nothing but a straight shot of pure,
unfiltered American metal at its very best. The dueling
guitar virtuosity of Emil Werstler and Eyal Levi harkens
many comparisons to Mustaine and Friedman, all the
while the acclaimed Kevin Talley (ex-Chimaira) pounds
away with fury and precision further proving he is one of
the genre's most accomplished players.
It has been almost four years since OLD MAN’S CHILD
released the highly-acclaimed and successful album
Vermin in late 2005. OLD MAN’S CHILD mastermind
Galder has kept busy during OLD MAN’S CHILD’s
downtime with his brothers in crime, Dimmu Borgir.
Once you check out the unholy tunes that comprise
the Norsemen’s seventh album, Slaves of the
World, you will agree that every single flesh-tearing note
has been well worth the wait and that the time on the
road with Dimmu Borgir has only further sharpened
Galder’s skills with the axe. Let the killing spree begin!!!
IWRESTLEDABEARONCE, the electro-metal-trip-hopdance-
jazz pioneers from Shreveport, LA, recently
wrapped up the recording of their debut full length for
Century Media Records. The band locked themselves
inside the home of producer Ross Robinson for over
two months with producer & engineer Ryan Boesch
(Norma Jean).
Guitarist Steven comments: "We just finished up our full
length Century Media debut with our buddy Ryan
Boesch producing/engineering/spiritually advising, and
we are beyond stoked at how it turned out! It shows a
definite evolution from our old stuff, but is for sure in the
same vein."
Now, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE has left the sunny city
of Los Angeles and are preparing to wrestle fans across
the country. The band plans to be on the road throughout
this year and into next. Get ready, metal just got gay.
