NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND V.010 PART ONE (HEADACHE EDITION)























































Here we are with NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND V.010 PART ONE, considered the first of this feature in 2010. We're in the middle of a snow blizzard wrecking havoc on the Hudson Valley Area of New York, USA. Parts of, if not all of this journal entry were written off line, with literal “notes” in paper format. Honestly, this is most snow I've seen in this region since the 90's, reminding me of a great snow blizzard back in my college days of '92 where the streets of New Paltz, New York were shut down as skiers, snow boarders and sledders took to the streets. I will soon upgrade ITP to mobile posting in case the apocalypse happens.
NOTES FROM THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND V.010 PART ONE was sponsored exclusively by: HAZELENUT COFFEE, and OPEN OFFICE (in your WINDOWS XP 'PUTER), FRENCH TOAST and EGGS, random play metal CD's on my CD ROM, specifically URFAUST's “Tochtern Der Wurste” the most underrated post black metal of 2009, discussions about bad weather and natural disasters, fault lines, geography, and creative ways to shovel snow.
NO THANKS TO: SNOW BLIZZARDS and the havoc mother nature has caused, and arrg, getting NFTEMU up.

FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET: As previously reported, Massacre Records is planning to release At The Graves", the long-awaited three-disc from KING DIAMOND. "This has taken so much longer than expected because of so many technical issues that I won't bore you to death, but we recently acquired a brand new noise-reduction program that we're using to enhance all the footage, and it's amazing how much better everything is beginning to look compared to the original tapes," the band's singer and namesake wrote in an October 2009 online posting.

The exact release date for "At The Graves" has not yet been officially announced.
********************** NEUROTIC RECORDS have announced that Colorado, US-based extreme metallers ENEMY REIGN will release their critically acclaimed Means To A Dead End EP in Europe through Neurotic Records. The EP was recorded by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio (Cephalic Carnage, Martriden, Cobalt et al) in 2008 and, until now, self-distributed through the ENEMY REIGN online webstore. The European version of this EP will contain a newly recorded exclusive bonus track entitled “If The Truth Hurts.....Suffer.” The European version will also have exclusive art work and other bonus materials.
************* UNIQUE LEADER have announced a few releases for February and March of 2010: Poland's DEVIOS unleashed "Gospel of Maggots" 2/16/2010. FROM UNIQUE LEADER: We are pleased to welcome from Poland Deivos to the ever growing army of Unique Leader bands. Poland has produced some of the best extreme metal in the scene today and Deivos is no exception. Here is a statement from the band.
"We've always had great respect for Unique Leader Records as an excellent label that puts out quality death metal, so we are extremely proud to join the league of Unique Leader bands! We're sure that with the support from Erik and his crew we will be able to get our music across and make Deivos a recognizable name to extreme metal fans worldwide. All of us are looking forward to a great cooperation with Unique Leader, starting with the release of our second album, Gospel Of Maggots in February 2010. Keep an eye for this onslaught of relentless death metal!"
UNIQUE LEADER shall unleash two brutal death metal releases in MARCH and MAY: HOUR OF PENACE-" Paradogma- " 3/13/2010: HOUR OF PENANCE are poised to strike & devastate the ears of the loyal disciples of death metal once more with a merciless master class in brutality entitled 'Paradogma' brought into inception at the legendary 16th Cellar Studios and mastered at the Hertz Studios in Poland.Unleashing a likely tour de force in maniacal death metal brutality, a celebration of music in it's darkest and most inhuman form, HOUR OF PENACE have ascended to an even greater height of precision savagery. Paradogma will be out worldwide march 31th on Unique Leader Records. Artwork by Gyula Havancsak . Also, Dutch death metal masters BRUTUS" Murwgebeukt (Total Loss) ":


At long last... six years after the devastating debut "Slachtbeest" comes the highly anticipated new album by Dutch Steamroller BRUTUS. Incubating for over 4 years, "Murwgebeukt (Total Loss)" is the ferocious 2nd album, now taking intensity to an even higher level. 16 tracks, 50 minutes of highly aggressive blast-beat-ridden bottom end brutality. The lyrical concept deals with a man facing life as a debt to death, and is conceived by the band's late drummer 'Ploegbaas', who took his own life shortly after drum recordings. The morbid, almost hymnic riffing and hateful outcries are hammered down your throat by the ever-pummeling percussion and will take you through the depths of a burdened man and leave you deprived of joy. Lyrical translations are supplied in a 16 page booklet with sick art by Toshihiro Egawa. Street date is set for May 25th 2010. Tracks can be previewed here
************** AKERCOCKE guitarist Matt Wilcock has quit the band and issued this statement on his departure. FROM AKERCOCKE: "After five years with AKERCOCKE and a lot of good times, it's now time for me to move on. Musically, I'm differing a bit with the natural path that AKERCOCKE's taking, so it's best for me to part ways now. There's no shit between anyone, and I'm thoroughly looking forward to going out with a bang (or blast) on these last four shows [in early March as the support act for DARK FUNERAL]. Full respect to the guys, especially Jason [Mendonça] and Dave [Gray, drums]. I'll be continuing to work with Dave on THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM which will be up and running very soon. Also much respect to everyone I've met on the road and at shows etc."
**************** Seattle, Washington metal veterans NEVERMORE are poised to release a new offering entitled "The Obsidian Conspiracy" 6/8/2010 on CENTURY MEDIA.
TENTATIVE TRACKLISTING FOR
"The Obsidian Conspiracy":
"Emptiness Unobstructed"
* "Without Morals"

* "And The Maiden Spoke"

* "Termination Proclamation"

*"The Obsidian Conspiracy"
* "The Blue Marble and the New
* She Comes in Colors"
* "The Day You Built The Wall"
* "Poison Throne"
* Beautiful Mistake"
* "The Crystal Ship" (THE DOORS cover)
* "Transmission" (THE TEA FROM NEVERMORE: the song "And The Maiden Spoke" "is going to blow your minds; it's twisted, progressive lunatic fringe riffing with vicious hooklines."

He added: "These songs are full of newfound rage, lyrically and musically. Jeff Loomis has come up with some amazing new riffs that will no doubt please old and new fans alike. Also, I think the combination of Peter and Andy will result in something very, very special."

************************ ROADRUNNER RECORDS announced (3/8/2010) that DRAGONFORCE have split with lead vocalist ZP THEART. FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET:
"'It is with great regret that DRAGONFORCE announce a parting of the ways with singer ZP Theart. This is due to insurmountable differences of musical opinion but the rest of the band sincerely wishes great success with his future projects.

"'While the creative core members have begun writing the fifth album, they have also started a worldwide search for a new vocalist.'

"'We are looking for a powerful, melodic singer to write a new chapter of DRAGONFORCE with us,' said guitarist Herman Li.

"Anyone wishing to audition for the vacant position should apply following the instructions here."_________________________________________________________________________________
