BEAT LIKE CRADLE

Posted on February 12, 2008

CRADLE OF FILTH drummer Adrian Erlandsson will be participating in Mike Dolbear’s Master Class Room, set to take place September 24-25 at the Wembley Conference Centre in Wembley. A posting at MikeDolbear.com reads as follows: “For the second year running Mike Dolbear’s will be co-sponsoring the biggest drum show in the UK. After the tremendous success of our master classes last year we’ve kept the same format for this years master class room with, as ever, a very strong line up. The MikeDolbear.com Master Class Room will play host to four of the top players in their respective genres allowing you to listen and learn from the masters. Education is the focus of our master classes and with seating limited to 75 people there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions, see the action and chat with these artists. “The CRADLE OF FILTH and AT THE GATES sticksman [Adrian Erlandsson] shows all the budding rockers and metallers how it’s really done in this master class of rock drumming. Fast and heavy does exactly what it says on the tin! “Approached initially to work on a session by CRADLE OF FILTH at the Dynamo gig in 1999, Erlandsson was asked to join the band two weeks later. His stamp on albums ‘From the Cradle to Enslave’, ‘Midian’ and ‘Bitter Suites to Succubi’, made an instant impression on the heavy rock community. “If hard and fast is your thing, or you’d like to see how it’s done, you’d be a fool to miss this unique opportunity to steal the licks of one of the genre’s best players.” Adrian Erlandsson’s show times: Saturday, September 24: 11:00 a.m. í¢ä‰åäóì 12:00 p.m. Sunday, September 25: 12:15 p.m. í¢ä‰åäóì 1:15 p.m.

PIONEERS OF MODERN THRASH METAL

Posted on February 12, 2008

CHIMAIRA’s new self-titled album is 4 days old today, yet already the response has been phenomenal. If you haven’t heard it yet I urge you to go to the ecard CLICK HERE or download NOTHING REMAINS from our MUSIC SECTION of the site. If you need more convincing, check out some of the awesome revies that are flooding in… “This album solidifies Chimaira’s name as one of the pioneers of modern thrash metal and I’ve no doubt that, with this release, they will be regarded in the future in the same way as the likes of Pantera and Sepultura are today.”Loudplanet “‘Chimaira’ is the lethal weapon for mass destruction of your garden-variety muthas. Come to it, this makes Velvet Revolver sound like a retro-rocking bunch of the 1970s vintage!” – 9/10 DEO2 “This is without a doubt the album that Chimaira want it to be, it’s the one that will knock all the fence sitters down the embankment and onto the railway tracks just in time for the approaching rumble of impending death.”MONTAG PRESS

INTELLECTUAL SHOWDOWN PT1

Posted on February 12, 2008

Every Time I Die, Twelve Tribes & A Life Once Lost are currently ripping up the UK on the Under The Gun tour. However, between the drunken debauchery, late nights, drugs & women the bands like to flex their intellectual biceps by quizzing each other about their very existence. Probing their very being, they search for questions that have previously not been asked. In the hot seat today Robert Meadows (A Life Once Lost, vocalist, poet, soul seeker & single mother). And who is to do the probing i hear you ask? Well no man likes to probe another man, but when you are on tour it’s one of those things you have to do. So raise your hands for the DREADED DEMON – Sir Adam Jackson – (Twelve Tribes – Vocals). LET THE GAMES BEGIN!! 1.) So, Bob how long do you plan on growing your beard? ANS: I’m not sure to be honest with you. 2.) What are you exactly “HUNTING” on your new album? ANS: Bitches & Whores…….. SIKE!! 3.) Do you HUNT in real life? ANS: I do not. My brother-in-law does. 4.) What’s your favorite food on tour? ANS: PIZZA! 5.) What’s your worst injury on tour? ANS: Vomiting or Split lip 6.) If you had to KILL a member of your band, who would it be? ANS: Hmm, only one? To hard to choose 7.) If you had to have sex with a member of your band, who would it be? ANS: Myself… 8.) What do you hate about your Girlfriend? ANS: Please don’t make me answer this question. (For Bob’s personally safety we did not force him to answer this) 9.) Name 5 good things about TWELVE TRIBES. ANS: 1.DREADS 2.WEED 3. MERCH IS COOL 4.NICE DUDES 5.WE FINALLY GET TO TOUR TOGETHER 10.) Do you consider yourself a great artist?

CROWBREED

Posted on February 12, 2008

HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta and CROWBAR guitarist/vocalist Kirk Windstein are currently in the studio recording the first album from their collaborative project, which is presently known simply as “CROWBREED”. Jasta has issued the following update on the album’s recording sessions: “Right now I am up in [Massachusetts] at Planet Z studios with Kirk from CROWBAR recording an album for our new band together. Zeuss is producing and Derek from SEEMLESS is playing drums on the album. All I can say right now is that the material is definitely the heaviest and most diverse stuff I have ever been a part of and I seriously can’t wait for people to hear this. Kirk is singing with me as well as playing the bass and guitar on the album, and we have both been writing and bringing ideas to the table. It’s been killer! Go check out our makeshift myspace page http://www.myspace.com/crowbreed as most of you know we dont have a name just yet so we have been calling it CROWBREED for now.
