| Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - Shadow Gallery Video For 'Gold Dust' Online | News from Shadow Gallery:
American progressive metal giants Shadow Gallery are premiering their new video for "Gold Dust" (in its radio edit version) today on the InsideOut Music Youtube channel.
The song comes from their new album Digital Ghosts, released October 26th, 2009 via InsideOutMusic in Europe, which features the line-up of Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, Joe Nevolo and new addition Brian Ashland. The album shows the group focuse their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock. The clip includes both live and location footage and features a cameo by Will Smith Sr. father of movie actor Will Smith. The video, which was filmed by Rick Berk and directed by Shadow Gallery bassist Carl Cadden-James, marked an ambitious step into exciting uncharted waters for the band and can be viewed here.
"We are very excited about having done this and are genuinely pleased with the results. We were surrounded by extremely talented people during production and had a blast doing it", states Cadden-James. "The song 'Gold Dust' was the perfect vehicle for our first video and I think it's nice to be able to introduce Brian as a vocalist visually beyond his vocal performance on the CD".
The lyrical story is played out by model Heather Anthony and displays a very human side of the band that explores the emotional complexities of both desire and heartache and should resonate with almost anyone who has ever loved. Shadow Gallery has transitioned very comfortably from just an aural experience to the visual artistic expression that their music is so well suited.
This news comes on top of their announcement that Shadow Gallery will be performing live in concert on the 2010 Triton Power Cruise. It will be the first live performance for the band, where they will join the stage with Evergrey, Jon Oliva's Pain and many more from April 30th - May 3rd, 2010. You can check out more information on the cruise here.

| Tuesday, February 02, 2010 - Threshold - Muse cover posted online | Threshold have just posted their version of Muse's hit "Supermassive Black Hole" online.
Check it out at the bands MySpace: www.myspace.com/threshold
The song can also be purchased as digital only single including an alternate version of the Song "Slipstream", the opener of their latest effort "Dead Reckoning" here.
Keyboarder Richard West recently stated: ""Supermassive Black Hole" was such a huge hit for MUSE, it's become a modern classic and it's still in the top ten of the UK rock charts after 150 weeks..! I hope MUSE enjoy THRESHOLD's reworking of their song, we've stayed fairly true to the original but with some added THRESHOLD heaviness."
The band will also re-issue their latest effort "Dead Reckoning" including instrumental versions of all songs of the album as a bonus - the digital release of the package is scheduled for mid February!
West states: "We often get requests from fans wanting access to instrumental versions of our songs, so after seeing bands like NIGHTWISH and MASTODON release extended versions of their albums with instrumentals included, it seemed logical for THRESHOLD to do the same with "Dead Reckoning". So whether they're being used for karoake competitions, holiday video soundtracks or just for singing along in the shower, we're happy to make them available."

| Monday, January 25, 2010 - Scorpions - 'We have reached the end of the road' | Scorpions have issued the following statement:
"Important message to our fans:
It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you - whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs.
While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was - and how much fun we were still having, in the process. But there was also something else: We want to end the Scorpions' extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we've always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years.
We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this. Thank you for your never-ending support throughout the years!
We uploaded the very first snippets from our new album for you here http://www.the-scorpions.com/english/ And now. let's get the party started and get ready for a Sting in the Tail!
See you on the world tour."
Yours,
Scorpions

| Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - Armored Saint posts first single and artwork for new album | Armored Saint has unveiled the cover art and the first single from their first new album since 2001, La Raza! The album's foundation was laid back in 2008 when Joey Vera and John Bush began writing new material for what would become La Raza and the album was completed in December at Tranzformer Studios in Burbank, CA. The album was produced by bassist Joey Vera, and engineered by Bryan Carlstrom and his assistant John Nuss. Recording was mostly done with analog equipment and the final album mix was delivered on 1 inch tape. This gives La Raza the most organic sound as possible. Fans can finally hear the first single, Left Hook From Right Field, on http://www.myspace.com/armoredsaint1
To complete the package, the band employed photographer Stephanie Cabral and Metal Blade's own Brian Ames. Joey Vera comments further, "Metal Blade is doing a really cool digi pack package for us. We felt like the city of Los Angeles is such a big part of our fabric that we wanted to use that in the design of the artwork. So with the help of our good friend and photographer Stephanie Cabral and Brian Ames from the Metal Blade art department, we came up with a really cool package that represents our band and the music on this record. We also wanted to incorporate a "green" action by leaving out the plastic CD tray and using recycled paper. The result is a classy and poignant package."
La Raza will be available everywhere on March 16th, 2010.
La Raza track listing:
1. Loose Cannon
2. Head On
3. Left Hook from Right Field
4. Get Off the Fence
5. Chilled
6. La Raza
7. Black Feet
8. Little Monkey
9. Blues
10. Bandit Country

| Monday, January 18, 2010 - Latest Avantasia Guest Singer: Jon Oliva | News from Tobias Sammet:
We can now reveal another secret regarding the forthcoming Avantasia epics "The Wicked Symphony" and "Angel Of Babylon", out on April, 3rd 2010. He used to be the mastermind of legendary US-Epic-Metal veterans Savatage, and he is also the brains behind the highly successful 'Trans-Siberian Orchestra'. To his fans he is the "Mountain king": Mr. Jon Oliva.
Tobias comments: "Jon will appear on a theatrical song called "Death Is Just A Feeling". We just had a press listening last weekend in Mousse T's prestigious Peppermint-Park studios in Hannover where we had recorded the duet with Klaus Meine a few months ago for example. Many of the numerous journalists that had come from all over Europe said that they have the feeling this is going to be the most epic and simply the best Avantasia-stuff with the widest variety so far, yet every song fits perfectly to the enchanting conceptual character. I am proud, I knew we were gonna do something momentous, but it feels great that it's been confirmed once more. Jon's song stood out as it is like a little movie itself, very eerie, and it could be a perfect chapter in a horror-musical."
Besides Jon Oliva the new Avantasia epics will have the longest list of musicians in the history of the project, there will be Klaus Meine(Scorpions), Ripper Owens (ex-Judas Priest), Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Bob Catley (Magnum), Eric Singer (KISS), Bruce Kulick (ex-KISS, ex-Meat Loaf), Jorn Lande (Masterplan), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Andre Matos (ex-Angra), Ralf Zdiarstek (Amitav), Oliver Hartmann, Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody), Felix Bohnke (Edguy), Sascha Paeth (ex-Heavens Gate), Cloudy Yang, Jens Johansson (Stratovarius, ex-DIO, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) and Miro Rodenberg.

| Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - 2009 - The Year of the Wolf | Wolf have released the following update:
The Year of the WOLF (revelations of 2009)
Most Metal moment:
Getting the crowd in London/Underworld, on the Ravenous over the uk tour, to sing "All Hail Evile" during the chorus of Hail Ceasar, to the memory of Mike Alexander who sadly passed away. It was a genuin feeling of that bond that excists in the metal community around the world. We are honored.
Most Non-Metal moment:
There wasn't any.
Most Headbanging moment:
The guy who won the Evil Star jacket at Hammerfest. Not only did he win the jacket, he banged his head faster than Steve Achims blastbeats on the Legion album. We hail you and hope the jacket is well used! Congrats!
Proudest Moment:
Getting a Swedish Grammi nomination for Ravenous. Offcourse we didn't win because we're to loud for the jury, but it did feel good to get that nomination after all the hard work we put in to this band. We did, however, win 2 giant Snickers bars at Liseberg. Not bad for just putting 4 kronor on the table.
Most ? moment:
No gigs in Germany! What the f... well, thats all taken care of for 2010!
Best educational moment:
Richard Raptor teaching Criss Piss from Cauldron about life, death and other morbid tales, under the influence. We wonder if Richard was the wiser one after that. Time will tell....
Best show 2009:
Grand Magus at Hammerfest.
Runner up: Saxon at Bloodstock.
Runner up 2: Niklas Viper as special guest in the christmas show: Hells Jingle Bells.
Most "What the hell" moment:
The dude in a wolf mask jumping up on stage and rocked out at Nottingham.
Most precious moment:
Johannes Axeman rocking a dart with Craig the canadian funboy.
Most productive moment NOT:
Our merchgirl getting to drunk so she was thrown out of a club. Our roadie, Gimli Mason, took over and saved the merchandise stand...til a string broke on a Dean V so we had to shout out for a helping hand...but realizing the spare V was right behind Anders Tornado's amp.
Coversation of the year:
"20 year old finnish girl: Do you have Facebook?
Niklas Viper: No, but we have Myspace.
20 year old finnish girl: Myspace? (rolling her eyes) Oh, that's so eighties!"
When we got home from Finland we got Facebook right away. Coldn´t have people think we like the eighties, could we? Ha ha!
Best "Meeting your idols" moment:
On tour, Niklas Viper meets Blackie Lawless of W.a.s.p. and starts to chat with him. The conversation starts off normal, then Viper turns into an excited 13 year old fan and Blackie gets annoyed, and just turn his back and leaves. "It was worth it", comments Viper.
Most "The metal took over" moment:
Johannes Axeman & Jason Decay (Cauldron) was banging their heads and fists on stage with canadian metal-god THOR and got so excited that they happen to knock over the guitar amp. It hit the floor with a MIGHTY CLASH. It was an accident offcourse, but they both decided to run for it. It was just to much metal for them to handle.
The good overcome the bad:
We all know that the food in the UK isnt so good but the crowd is 100% Heavy metal and true,You Rock UK.
Discovery of the year:
Its now official that the underwear Richard Raptor uses is from Tarzan himself.
Discovery of the year 2:
A orange (colour, that is) amplifier is not soo bad after all. In fact its really good, Rock on Mr Viper!
Consumer of the year:
Anders Tornado. On what? Redwine and Rush offcourse.
Most singing-along moment:
Pounding metal fest in Madrid. The chorus to Voodoo just blew the roof down. Thanx Spain!
See ya ALL frontrow in 2010!
Anders, Johannes, Niklas & Richard.
