Watain announces “All That May Bleed” single release date

Posted by longhairedpoet on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 2:48 PM (PST)

Swedish black metallers Watain are preparing to release their single, “All That May Bleed” off of their upcoming album The Wild Hunt.

“All That May Bleed” will be released on May 25th in the USA.

The band had this to say on the release:

“‘All that May Bleed’ shows but one facet of a quite diverse album, but we chose this song as a first glimpse into ‘The Wild Hunt’ because of its bombastic lunacy and white-eyed malevolence which could be said to constitute a main foundation for the album. The lyric is an invitation to sacrificial blood letting, ecstatic zealotry and human sacrifice. The salt of Satan in the wounds of Christ!”

Side B will be a track called ‘Play With the Devil’ originally recorded by Taiwaz.

IWrestledABearOnce recording third studio album

Posted by longhairedpoet on Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 1:12 PM (PST)

NOLA metallers IWrestledABearOnce are in the process of recording their third full-length album.

Guitarist/programmer Steve Bradley had this to say on the upcoming album:

“Well damn! After another two years of non-stop touring, some unexpected twists, and getting to visit some new and amazing places, we’re finally back in the studio working on full length number three!. I’ve 100% NEVER been this excited about an IWABO album, because it feels like we’ve finally reigned in ‘our sound’ even further and really hit a stride in terms of songwriting. We’ve always admired bands like Deftones, Cynic, Thrice, Glassjaw, Mr. Bungle, Dredg, Cephalic Carnage, The Mars Volta, etc because they’ve never made the same album twice, and aren’t scared to keep evolving while still maintaining their signature styles. Obviously I’d never compare us to the greatness of those bands, but, in keeping with that mentality, we’ve progressed a bit more and put together our best collection of songs so far.”

No release date has been set as of yet.

Jeff Loomis robbed in St. Louis

Posted by tyrusrunyan on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 6:28 AM (PST)

In a classic dick move some jerks have stolen Jeff Loomis and his bands gear out from under them while they were eating in St. Louis. You can read the official press release below as well get the details so you can throw the band a few dollars and hopefully they can continue on the tour.

Official press release: “Last night after our show in St. Louis, our tour van was broken into as we were grabbing a bite to eat before our drive to Dallas. We were parked in a well lit area in front of the restaurant. In the ten to fifteen minutes that it took for us to order our food and eat, all of our personal items such as laptops, cameras, musical equipment, cell phones, passports and money were stolen. We came outside to find the lock on the driver side door popped out of the van, and promptly called the police. A report has been filed and the van was fingerprinted, but the leads don’t seem promising. The police stated that this is apparently a common occurrence for the area. We are all in disbelief, but are very fortunate for everyone to be ok.

After discussing the situation as a group, we would like to try to continue on with this tour. But to be able to do this, we will need your help. We have all taken a huge hit financially, and we cannot continue on without some sort of support. We have set up a paypal account for any amount of donations to assist us for the duration of the tour.

Below is the paypal email to make donations to.

JLoomisbanddonation@outlook.com

Any and all support will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.”

Warbringer announces South American tour dates, confirms new lineup

Posted by Fireball13 on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 9:37 AM (PST)

Warbringer1comp California thrashers Warbringer have announced some South American tour dates which will start this weekend. You can click right here to check out a complete list of tour dates, cities and venues along with other US tour dates at the end of May.

Drummer Carlos Cruz commented on the tour: “It’s a tremendous feeling to have heavy metal fans in South America continuously ask us to perform in their home countries, let alone have promoters willing to invest in us to finally make this happen. This 3-day weekend of performances will hopefully open the door to more opportunities for WARBRINGER to perform in many more countries there for the demanding fans. It’s fact that South America upholds a die-hard heavy metal fanbase, and we’ll be sure to NOT disappoint!”

The band has also confirmed their new lineup which is the same lineup that has been touring together since last summer. Until now, the band never made an official announcement about guitarist Jeff Potts and bassist Ben Mottsman (both formerly of Mantic Ritual) joining Warbringer. Cruz explains about this new lineup:

“Nearly 10 years in, over 1000 performances and countless miles traveled worldwide, WARBRINGER has to take whatever measures necessary in order to continue to move forward. More than ever, with the addition of Ben Mottsman on bass and Jeff Potts on guitar, the band has the strongest personal chemistry and musicianship to date. Being long time friends, it was picture perfect to bring them on board with their collective experience as working musicians. It’s funny to recall being the first person to accidentally run into them on the street in Hollywood when they first moved out to L.A. with MANTIC RITUAL in 2008, and now it has come full circle to have them join WARBRINGER.”

Posted by Fireball13 on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 11:11 AM (PST)

The band has revealed the album’s cover artwork and tracklisting. Aside from the cover art, the album will also feature artwork throughout by the band’s own guitarist, Niklas Sundin.

The band had this to say about the new album:

“The selected few people that so far have been granted the privilege of hearing the full album are uniformingly convinced that ‘Construct’ is the strongest and most exciting D.T. album in a long time, and who are we to disagree? While still bearing the unmistakable mark of the dark tranquillity, the record is probably our most different and diverse offering since 1999′s ‘Projector’. For now, we’re pleased to share the track-list, trailer and sleeve design with you, but the first musical preview will appear in the near future.”
