mmmm, new poison the well album is just over a months time. 4/3/2007 will see the release of their followup to 2003's 'You Come Before You' with their newest venture 'Versions'. i can't wait.

i hope it's better than their last... theyre a band w/ such potential. The Opposite of December was so good, and it's been going downhill since. i am looking forward to it nonetheless.

awww, yeah!

Polish extreme metal titans BEHEMOTH are currently wrapping up the tenuous recording process for "The Apostasy", their most ambitious and epic offering yet. The new effort is being recorded in the band's hometown of Gdansk with Nergal (vocals, guitars) and longtime sound engineer Malta in the producers' chairs and is set for a late July release.

Nergal checks in with the following news: "We are almost done recording all of the guitar tracks. It is taking us much longer than we had originally expected but 'The Apostasy' is technically the most demanding of all BEHEMOTH albums thus far. We are extremely proud of what we've recorded and the sound is just devastating. This time I decided to use three different amps and record two guitars on each side. This way we make the guitar tone meatier and it also provides something more unique sound wise. Seth (guitars) and I are starting to record our lead parts now while Orion lays down his final bass tracks. I am so excited right now, but at the same time I have never been so stressed in my life. This album is my life now.

"Last week we had a special guest on the song 'Inner Sanctum'. This is the most creepy and evil sounding tune on 'The Apostasy' so far. However, I'm not going to reveal the name of the guest musician just yet because I do not want to ruin the surprise. All of the tracks should be completed over the next two weeks. After that I fly out to Uppsala, Sweden to being the mixing process with the acclaimed Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, DARK FUNERAL, IN FLAMES) at Dug-Out Studios. We had long discussions about the direction of the record and we definitely seem to be on the same page. I can't wait till we start working on that."

ALL HAIL BEHEMOTH!

I can't remember if I mentioned them yet but I got into a band recently called Forbidden (Paul Bostaph used to play for them). I just got their second cd today, Twisted Into Form. It's pretty good. Not as catchy as their first but I like it anyway. If you guys like Thrash, check them out.

Edit: They don't really have a site so you can get a bit of info here and here

Anyone heard the new Pain of Salvation album yet? I JUST finished listening to it, and although it's nothing like their previous albums (and certainly not what you'd expect as the sequel to The Perfect Element, although it is), it's still got some great content to it. It does sound like one of those "screw america" albums which I wouldn't really expect from a progressive band, but they definitely do the best job of it I've ever heard.

I will also have to agree the new Dark Tranquility is great. Totally lovin' it. New Dimmu Borgir got leaked. You can tell there is an immediate change in their sound, almost not Black Metal, but so far its pretty good. Also gotta say the new Pain Confessor album is excellent.

Well, I guess Nuclear Blast had planned a new way of releasing their promos because of how often their releases get leaked. I suppose they were doing it via internet by giving it out codes to those recieving promos as a way of obtaining the album. But of course, it got leaked. I'm happy. Ever since I heard the album was done, I've been checking Oink and Kerrazy everyday.

He he, gotta agree with you there. Their new single "What Have You Done" is amazing. I like the rock mix version of it as well.

I got a chance to hear the new album, and well, it's utter trash. Okay, that's a bit overdoing it, but I enjoyed You Come Before You a lot (and I mean a lot). But this new CD is an even bigger step down that ladder from the progression between Tear from the Red and You Come Before You.

I really need to listen to it again, but I don't like it at all. Then again, I was spoiled by Fear Before the March of Flames 2006 release. Tht is now my new benchmark, so to speak, of the hardcore spinoff genres.

Also, the new Chimaira album I've been loving, being a neice blend between the musical talent on their self titled release, and the raw power from Impossibility of Reason.

eh all of this new metal just doesnt cut it for me. ive recently gotten into Slaughter. in fact, the guitarist in my band will be able to get mark slaughter to come see my band practice and critique us. if he thinks we are good enough, my band might be able to open up for slaughter on tour.

Besides the overt "look-at-me"isms in this post, the prospect of supporting a long-dead band on tour seems a little odd to me.

So far this year, only Necros Christos has managed to stir my interest.

Some news if ure into death metal and into the awesome band, Bloodbath :D

Swedish death metal supergroup BLOODBATH has issued the following update:

"BLOODBATH is finally back to put elite death metal on the map. The brand new line-up is shortly to be officially revealed, but has already paved way for a band hungrier than ever to bathe in the blood of a new recording. So in early June, we'll once again enter Fascination Street studios (same place 'Nightmares Made Flesh' was done) to cut a couple of new songs. In good tradition, each member will contribute to the writing with one song each. The final result will be unleashed in the form of a mini-CD scheduled for release in late summer. This affair will be self-financed and released only by BLOODBATH in a limited edition. Info on how to obtain your copy will follow with the announcement of the exact release date. So stay tuned and get ready... because BLOODBATH is back to DO-MI-NATE!"

BLOODBATH's latest album, "Nightmares Made Flesh", received a U.S. release in March 2005 via Century Media Records. Due to the long gap between the European and North American release dates, the American version was enhanced with two bonus songs taken from a previously unreleased demo recording of "Breeding Death" EP, as well as a different front cover, featuring artwork by Wes Benscoter.

CAN'T WAIT!

    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
