The 8-track album comprises three tracks of doom from FENRIZ’ RED PLANET, and five tracks of previously unreleased, or rare and difficult to find material, from NATTEFROST’S own collection.

*CARPATHIAN FOREST’S Vrangsinn is previewing a new track from his project "A Waste of Talent". FROM Vrangsinn: A WASTE OF TALENT , one of the projects of producer, and CARPATHIAN FOREST bass player VRANGSINN (NATTEFROST , SECHT) is streaming “Machines Kept Pumping Blood From Earth”, a track from the band’s next album, on MySpace at www.myspace.com/awasteoftalentnorway or click HERE . The new album, to be called “The Last Remains of Humankind” will be a concept album set in a not too distant future where few humans remain alive. According to VRANGSINN , the album is “music to listen to while you wait for your own extinction”.

Formed in 1996 by SKAPEREN (vocals/bass) and VRANGSINN (guitars/backing vocals) A WASTE OF TALENT released their first album “Psycodelic Steamtrain” on VRANGSINN’S own label Misantrof AntiRecords, the “non” record label where all the releases are available for free download. “The Last Remains of Humankind” will also be released on Misantrof sometime in 2010.

The new album marks a change in direction for the Extreme Metal band, as VRANGSINN explains: “The idea behind making this a concept album allows us to experiment with a more futuristic sound, which is something we have been interested in doing since we wrote “Machines Kept Pumping Blood From Earth”, as well as being able to explore the inevitable self destruction of humanity in the lyrics themselves. But at the same time, the fact that it is a one-off concept doesn’t tie us down to any specific sound or genre forever”. VRANGSINN, who is currently in the studio producing the new NATTEFROST album, will also produce “The Last Remains of Humankind”.

*Swedish doom legends CANDLEMASS released a new CD entitled "Death Magik Doom" MAY 5th in (North America) and APRIL 3rd (Europe) on Nuclear Blast: The latest album from Swedish/Texan doom legends CANDLEMASS has made its way to North America!

Death Magic Doom was released on April 3 (Europe) and on May 5 (North America) and is now available for purchasing worldwide by clicking here or the album image to the upper right!


Death Magic Doom is the follow-up to last year's massive Lucifer Rising EP and 2nd full-length album King of the Grey Islands. Death Magic Doom was recorded once more at the famous Swedish Polar Studios.


TRACK LIST:
01. If I Ever Die
02. Hammer Of Doom
03. The Bleeding Baroness
04. Demon Of The Deep
05. House Of 1000 Voices
06. Dead Angel
07. Clouds Of Dementia
08. My Funeral Dreams
09. Lucifer Rising (U.S. Bonus Track)

Commented bassist/main songwriter Leif Edling:

"The songs [on the new album] are about immortality, depressions, demons, vampires, funerals and the almighty devil that we all know very well, hehe. I love the way we perform here.

Rob's [Lowe] singing and Lasse's [Lars Johansson, guitar] soloing are nothing but amazing!! The production is also outstanding! The name Death Magic Doom captures it perfectly! Great name! Love it! It is very suitable for an album of this magnitude AND it also describes what CANDLEMASS is about; Heavy, hard, epic, colossal metal!!!

I would say that Death Magic Doom is the best album we have done since Nightfall [1987]!! In all, [the LP contains] nearly 50 minutes of bone-crushing and mind-blowing doom metal!!"

*Belgium black metal band GORATH have new distribution for the bands 2008 release "Misotheism" released last year on DESCENT PRODUCTIONS. FROM GORATH:
Last year Descent Productions quit most of its activity as a label. At this moment the German Eisenwald Tonschmiede will take over part of the distribution network and will take care of spreading "The Fourth Era" and "Misotheism". Labels and shops interested in trades and wholesales can get in touch with Eisenwald. Next up is the special edition 12" vinyl release of "Misotheism" on Eisenwald, set for the first part of 2009.

*Grind legends BRUTAL TRUTH, PIG DESTROYER and REPULSION are teaming up for a special show in New York City, July 31st, at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple in Brooklyn, NY. REPULSION will be performing "Horrified" in its entirety.
*New York Death Metal legends SUFFOCATION have shot a new video for the track “Cataclysmic Purification”. FROM SUFFOCATION: "New York based extreme metal legends SUFFOCATION will film a video clip for the track “Cataclysmic Purification” this Sunday, May 31, 2009 with director David Brodsky (ARSIS, GOD FORBID, KATAKLYSM, SWASHBUCKLE). When asked about the new track and their soon to be released 6th full-length album Blood Oath, SUFFOCATION bassist Derek Boyer stated:

"’Cataclysmic Purification’ audibly portrays a calamitous future approaching. With this song and the rest of the album I think we've maintained the musical integrity of the band while still having comprehendible brutality. Blood Oath combines straight forward crushing movements with unsuspecting twists that will certainly entertain everyone from the avid SUFFOCATION listener to the 1st time innocent bystanders."
*Texas death metal legends DEVOURMENT shall unleash a new offering entitled "Unleash the Carnivore" 6/26/09 via Brutal Bands.
*Texas technical death metal heroes INSIDIOUS DECREPANCY shall unleash a new offering entitled "Extirpating Omniscient Certitude" via BRUTAL BANDS 7/31/09.

(EDITORS NOTE 6/3/09): FROM IBEX MOON: Chilean death metal warriors THORNAFIRE have been forced to cancel their participation in the upcoming U.S. tour featuring MONSTROSITY and TORN THE FUCK APART.

Commented guitarist Victor MacNamara: "Due to delays in the processing of our visa application to enter the USA, THORNAFIRE will unfortunately have to cancel their appearance on the monstrosity U.S. tour 2009, scheduled to take place this June. We've done everything in our power and have followed every procedure to make this happen, but the process is very expensive and time-consuming. This matter is out of our hands and we are very disappointed as this was to be our first opportunity to show our madness to the U.S. fans.

"On a happier note, we are releasing our second album, 'Vorex Deconstrucción', and it's already sounding very impressive! We are also working with Ibex Moon Records on setting up a new U.S. tour."
(*EDITORS NOTE-6/3/09-Texas death metal band HOD have replaced THORNAFIRE on the MONSTROSITY TOUR)
FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET: Texas extremists HOD will hit the road with MONSTROSITY and TORN THE FUCK APART on a twelve-date rampage across the U.S.

Guitarist Lord Necron comments: "HOD is proud to announce we are taking part of the MONSTROSITY summer tour. We look forward to destroying every city we play! See you maniacs out on the road!"
(*EDITORS NOTE-6/5/09-)DREAMING DEAD have been added to the MONSTROSITY tour extending theier U.S. 2009 tour: FROM DREAMING DEAD: In addition to their upcoming trek across North America with PATHOLOGY and the legendary MASTER, Los Angeles-based blackened death/thrashers DREAMING DEAD have been added to the first half of MONSTROSITY's summer tour.

Thirsty for blood and eager to wreak havoc across the countryside, Dreaming Dead promise to deliver nothing but the most blistering performance at every stop. These recently added dates will see Dreaming Dead for the entire month of July in support of their blackened and death-laden thrashterpiece, Within One.

Drummer Mike Caffell comments: "Dreaming Dead are very pleased to announce that we will be hitting the road with death metal masters Monstrosity for the East Coast leg of their upcoming US tour! This will be our first time performing on the East Coast and our first time sharing the stage with this legendary act. Needless to say, we are quite excited about having the opportunity to get out there and tear it up for everyone. Plus, this works out nicely for us because when we part ways with Monstrosity we’ll be picking up with Master and Pathology to round out the rest of the US on our unrelated, but oh so conveniently placed summer tour. Mwahaha! Chances are we’ll be playing close to YOU in the near future, so come out to the shows! We’re bringin some heavy shit and a good time... "
