*Swedish tech death metal heroes SPAWN OF POSSESSION have posted a new pre production track on the bands MYSPACE. FROM SPAWN OF POSSESSION: "The production is pretty bad and muddy. But the production for a pre-prod is not very important anyway. We record pre-prods so we can work with the arrangements and etc. Since we can't rehearse together, we do this instead." Regarding the progress of the songwriting sessions for SPAWN OF POSSESSION's next album, Bryssling states, "Eight songs are now complete, so there are four songs left to finish up, and the songwriting process has been quite good lately. "The new songs are more massive (epic), detailed, faster, melodic, brutal, catchier and energetic than the old ones. And so far we are happy with the result. It sounds really close to the vision I got right after the recording of 'Noctambulant', which was to take everything one step further. "To me, personally, the third album will be the ultimate SPAWN OF POSSESSION album. Because this time I finally got the time to sit down and write down those visions which has been haunting me for years. This would never have been possible with the old members. They were pretty much exhausted and done after 'Noctambulant'. Can't blame them for that; it was a difficult period with a lot of stress and hard work. I was pretty fucked up myself after being isolated for one year of songwriting and practicing. "I remember when I told Dennis about my new visions after 'Noctambulant', and how he sighed just to think about the amount of work that it would take to write such an album, to practice and to record it. So I'm very grateful for the new members and their positive approach and energy they have put into for SPAWN OF POSSESSION [and for] making a third album possible. "We have no dates for the new album yet. It's going slow, I know that. But we have other obligations in life besides SPAWN OF POSSESSION. But we are getting closer and closer now." ** BLACK LABEL SOCIETY have announced a fall 2010 North American tour with CHILDREN OF BODOM, CLUTCH and 2 CENTS. *** Italian death grinders PUTRIDITY have inked a deal with WILLOWTIP RECORDS. **** Seattle, Washington melodic thrashers NEVERMORE have announced a September U.S. tour with WARBRINGER, MUTINTY WITHIN and HATEBRINGER. ***** New York death metallers IMMOLATION have announced a fall (late September) North American tour with VADER, PATHOLOGY, ABIGAIL WILLIAMS and LECHEROUS NOCTURNE. ****** South Carolina death metal gods NILE have announced a fall (October) tour with EX DEO, PSYCROPTIC, KEEP OF KALESSIN and PATHOLOGY. ******* Swedish death metal heroes AEON unleashed the bands third release entitled "Path Of Fire" 5/25/2010 (5/24/2010 internationally) via METAL BLADE RECORDS. ******** Polish death metal heroes BEHEMOTH have announced a November U.S. tour with WATAIN.

California death metal masters ABYSMAL DAWN sent this band update in MAY: Programmed To Consume at Trench Studios in Corona, CA with John Haddad (PHOBIA, INTRONAUT, HIRAX). The album will be mixed by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, GOATWHORE, HATE ETERNAL) at his Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, FL. A fall release date is expected."ABYSMAL DAWN Charles Elliot issued the following update: "We recently wrapped up recording drums at Trench Studios and the final product is incredible! I think we really got some amazing tones this time and Scott delivered an amazing over the top drum performance. Our music has definitely become more demanding technically and Scott really stepped things up in the drum department. We really wanted to get a natural drum sound so the guys in RECIPROCAL were kind enough to let us rent their top of the line Pearl kit from them. Thanks a lot guys! Right now I’m currently laying down all the rhythm guitar tracks with Mike Bear (ARTISAN, ex-PROTOTYPE) at Artisan Road Studios in Encino, CA. For those of you that are keeping track, Mike played bass on our first album “From Ashes” and played a few shows locally with us in the early days. I’ve known Mike since our bands first played together with DEATH at the Whiskey in ’98 while I was still in high school. We became friends soon after and he even filled in on bass for my old band INHUMAN VISIONS back then. Recording my guitar tracks with him has been a true pleasure and his attention to detail is impeccable. Mike Cosio also started tracking bass with him recently and his know-how of the instrument has really helped Mike’s performance shine. Can’t wait to send everything to Erik Rutan to put the finishing touches on things. This will be the tightest and best ABYSMAL DAWN record yet!” Additional recording / album details will be made available shortly. Audio samples and video from the band’s Programmed To Consume album can be viewed online now via ABYSMAL DAWN MYSPACE ******************************************* Canada's re united GORGUTS are working on a new release tentatively scheduled for early 2011. FROM GORGUTS:I couldn't be happier with the result of this collaboration along with three of the most talented musicians in the metal scene. John, Colin Marston, bass; DYSRHYTHMIA, BEHOLD... THE ARCTOPUS, BYLA, KRALLICE, INDRICOTHERE and Kevin Hufnagel, guitar; DYSRHYTHMIA, WHILE HEAVEN WEPT, BYLA, EUCLID STREET,THE FIFTH SEASON, GREY DIVISION BLUE have been fantastic and amazingly creative with their instruments for the new compositions. "Don't expect this record to sound like a previous GORGUTS album." ******************************* EARMUSIC have announced the signing of Norwegian/American melodic metal band KAMELOT as the bands new studio release "Poetry For The Poisoned" shall be unleashed 9/3/2010. FROM KAMELOT AND EARMUSIC:KAMELOT is one of metal's most unique, influential and prestigious acts to come along in decades. The group's reputation among fans and media alike is marked by enthusiasm as well as esteem, with each of their eight studio albums to date surpassing its predecessor in terms of songwriting, production and commercial results. As one of the most difficult-to-categorize artists on the metal scene, KAMELOT is ready to release its most insightful and ambitious album to date, "Poetry for the Poisoned". Throughout the recent years, KAMELOT's releases have achieved cult status around the world, and "Poetry for the Poisoned" will "once again raise the bar for others to follow," according to a press release. "The new studio album blends their trademark KAMELOT sound with new elements and a creation of musical art that will set a new standard in the genre." "Poetry for the Poisoned" was mostly written in the remote woods of Norway to the final songwriting sessions in a remote region of Germany. The compositions take the listener through many emotions and dynamics that touch the soul and the mind. "I think this album is by far our most diverse, fusing new ideas and elements along with the traditional KAMELOT sound and style that we have established over the years," states KAMELOT guitarist Thomas Youngblood. Recordings took place in the familiar Gate Studios> in Wolfsburg, Germany with producers Sascha Paeth and Miro. Additional tracking also took place in Tampa, Florida as well as various studios in Sweden, Greece and the U.S. "Poetry for the Poisoned" features guest appearances by Simone Simons >EPICA, Gus G.OZZY OSBOURNE, FIREWIND, Björn "Speed" Strid SOILWORK and Jon Oliva SAVATAGE, JON OLIVA'S PAIN. The artwork was created by many great artists, including Seth Siro Anton, Natalie Shau and Michal Loranc. "'Poetry for the Poisoned' is a mix of progressive elements, modern rock, dark arts and also power metal," states Youngblood. "It comes at a time where many people around the world are searching for something to grab on to spiritually, including myself. I recently lost my mother and to be honest it was very hard on me. So there are some melancholy moods reflected on this album." Frontman Roy Khan assures that "Poetry for the Poisoned" will both please the band's existing following and expose the universe of KAMELOT to a whole range of new fans. "'Poetry for the Poisoned' is our longest and toughest production so far, but when I hear the result I know it was well worth the struggle," he says. Max Vaccaro, director of the ear MUSIC label, commented: "If there is one thing that is absolutely clear with KAMELOT, it's that the band has a unique vision of metal and they consider anything they do as the 'next step' to something bigger and better, constantly adamant to reach new ambitious artistic targets. We're happy about the fact that they have chosen earMUSIC as the partner to expand their audience with this new wonderful album." "Poetry For The Poisoned" will also be available as a limited edition hard-cover digipak CD with a bonus LP and limited collector's edition featuring a bonus 45" vinyl with two rare songs only available on this strictly limited format, personally signed by the band. ******************************** North Carolina "one man killing machine"/ death metal project BLOODSOAKED have sent this update. FROM BLOODSOAKED: "It’s been a while since I’ve made any major updates with BLOODSOAKED so here goes.class If you haven’t already pick up the June 2010 issue of Decibel Magazine (with Exodus on the cover) do so now as there is a 5 page feature article on One-Man Death Metal bands showcasing BLOODSOAKED, PUTRID PILE and INSIDIOUS DECREPANCY, the article is called “Death on Two Legs”. 2010 has really become a busy year for BLOODSOAKED as I have been and will be flying all over for shows and festivals. Having already flown to Massachusetts and California for shows, did a 3 day mini tour with Goatwhore and racking up more frequent flyer miles with shows booked in Colorado, Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nevada as well as two shows in Colombia and a 5 day mini tour in Mexico. BLOODSOAKED has recently received an endorsement from Jackson Guitars, I need to thanks Jackson Guitars Artist Relations representative Chris Cannella for making this happen. I already had my Jackson Dinky that I used to record both "Brutally Butchered" and Sadistic Deeds...Grotesque Memories" CDs and now thanks to Jackson Guitars I have added the following two guitars to my collection: The Christian Olde Wolbers Signature 6-String and the SLSMG Super Lightweight Soloist. I am in the process of writing the BLOODSOAKED album due out in early 2011 along with a DVD. I am writing most if not all of this album with Brent Williams (Drummer for Atrocious Abnormality). Brent helped write ”Rotting In Filth” and “Rise With Me” from my last album and I feel that the new music will be even more solid now with Brent on board for the writing process. At this time I have 4 songs written and a 5th song almost complete. I will also be re-recording “Grinding Your Guts” from the first BLOODSOAKED album. I have few working titles I am throwing around for the CD (“Left To Rot”, Wading The Blood Pools” and “The Death of Hope”) but nothing is set in stone at this time. You can listen to a good demo version of the song “Wading The Blood Pools” on the Myspace music player right now. Below are a few videos of some new songs Brent and I have been working on so check them out and hear what is to come in early 2011. The videos are not much to look at and most of these where done on the first or second take so not 100% tight but still new BLOODSOAKED tunes. Thanks to everyone for the support and anyone interested in booking BLOODSOAKED or have questions or comments send me a message. ************************************************** DIABOLICAL CONQUEST WEBZINE (DC) has started it's very own record label with international distribution. FROM DIABOLICAL CONQUEST WEBZINE: After running DC Webzine for five years, promoting hundreds of extreme metal bands and establishing a name for itself as a zine with rare integrity and honesty, we believe the time has come for us to take it to the next level. Instead of urging other labels to sign deserving bands, we will put our money where our mouth is and now do it ourselves. Needless to say, we will be promoting our bands extensively, and we will have worldwide distribution for our releases. Based in India, DC Records will have the advantage of distributing extreme metal titles in a relatively virgin territory and catering to the needs of deprived metalheads there. We will be making announcements about our bands and planned future releases shortly." DC Records is financed and run just by one person - me, KC. I won't be reviewing my own releases. We may not even review our releases on our webzine. Even if we do, other writers will be doing the job and they are free to have their own opinions about it and will be encouraged to be honest. Here are a couple of mp3s from the new album - http://www.diabolicalconquest.com/label.htm Diabolical Conquest Records is pleased to sign The Dead from Brisbane, Australia. Incorporating influences from genres such as doom metal to make their music gloomier and groovier and yet retaining the death metal aesthetic and underground essence, The Dead play in a unique, perverse style of raw and catchy death metal that transcends schools and trends. After releasing their debut full length album through the Australian Obsidian Records, DC Records will be re-releasing their latest full length album ‘Ritual Executions', which was originally self-released by the band and limited to 100 copies, in much higher quantities. This release will have a modified artwork by Mike Yee and has been mixed and remastered by Aphotic Mote (Portal). Diabolical Conquest founder Kunal N. Choksi comments, “I am extremely happy to sign what I feel is one of the best and most original sounding death metal bands today. After promoting The Dead for years, reviewing three of their releases in detail (with the last two finding a place in my best albums of the year lists) and even conducting an interview with them, it was as if I was destined to sign them; no other band seemed worthier. It is an honour to work with a band I have known and admired for so long and I hope to give them the exposure they truly deserve.” The Dead drummer Chris Morse adds, “It is an honour to be entrusted with DC Records' first release. DC Webzine has always been known for its honest and insightful reviews of underground metal releases and this will no doubt be reflected in the quality of music the label will release. It's a very exciting time for the band and we cannot express how jubilant we feel at being added to the DC Records roster." Ritual Executions will be released early this monsoon. A special pre-order offer will be up soon." ************************************************************ Dutch death metal warriors SEVERE TORTURE will unleash a new offering entitled "Slaughtered" on SEASON OF MIST: FROM SEVERE TORTURE: Dutch death metallers Severe Torture will release their fifth full-length album, Slaughtered, on June 29 (one day earlier internationally) via Season of Mist. The CD was recorded at Split Second Sound Studios in Amsterdam with producer Jochem Jacobs. _____________________________________________________________________________________ -l- ONE FOOT ON THE MONITOR: SUMMER 2010 NORTH AMERICAN EXTREME METAL TOUR DATES: * SLAYER, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT (CANADIAN and AMERICAN CARNAGE) SUMMER 2010 NORTH AMERICAN AND CANADIAN CARNAGE TOUR DATES July 23 – Pavillon de la Jeunesse, Quebec City, QC July 24 – Heavy MTL, Parc Jean-Drapeau, Montreal, QC July 26 – Metro Centre, Halifax, NS July 27 – Moncton Coliseum, Moncton, NB July 29 – Molson Amphitheatre, Toronto, ONT July 30 – John Labatt Centre Center, London, ONT AMERICAN CARNAGE TOUR DATES August 11 – Glens Falls Civic Center, Glens Falls, NY August 12 – Izod Center, East Rutherford, NJ August 14 – Tsongas Arena, Boston, MA August 15 – Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ August 16 – Chevrolet Theatre, Wallingford, CT August 18 – Tower City Amphitheatre, Cleveland, OH August 19 – Cobo Arena, Detroit,MI August 20 – UIC Pavillon, Chicago, IL August 21 – Roy Wilkins Auditorium, Minneapolis, MN August 23 – Cap Fed Park @Sandstone, Kansas City, KS August 25 – Magness Arena, Denver, CO August 26 – Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque, NM August 27 – Dodge Theatre, Phoenix, AZ August 29 – Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, San Diego, CA August 30 – Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, CA August 31 – Cow Palace, San Francisco, CA September 1 – Arco Arena, Sacramento, CA September 3 – Wamu Theatre, Seattle, WA September 4 – Washington County Fairgrounds, Portland, OR ** FEAR FACTORY, 36 CRAZY FISTS, AFTER THE BURIAL, DIVINE HERESY, BAPTIZED IN BLOOD SUMMER 2010 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES: Jul. 07 - House of Blues, W.
