Work has started on the band's contribution to the split release 'Unveiling the Signs'( to be released by the Polish label Redrum666.).

*****Juhani Palomäki, the main man for Finnish doom heroes COLOSSEUM, was found dead on Saturday, May 15, he was 32 years old. His final work — COLOSSEUM's recently recorded third album, "Chapter 3: Parasomnia" — will be released as a way to honor his memory. This will mark the end of COLOSSEUM as a band, but Juhani's musical genius and artistic integrity will live on.

Commented the surviving members of COLOSSEUM: "We have lost a brilliant and a true friend, who will be greatly missed not only by us, but by his loved ones and countless people all around the world who have been touched by his art."
In 1994, the Finnish atmospheric doom metal was established by vocalist/guitarist Juhani Palomäkiand drummer Toni Kristian. In 2006, founded the funeral doom act COLOSSEUM, which has released two albums thus far.

COLOSSEUM's third CD, "Chapter 3: Parasomnia", will feature five lengthy epics and will be made available in the fall through Firebox Records.COLOSSEUM MYSPACE:
R.I.P. Juhani Palomäki: Juhani Palomäki’s musical career, including the composition of eight full-length albums for Yearning and Colosseum, has ended as he was found deceased on Saturday May 15th 2010. His final composition, Colosseum’s recently recorded Chapter 3: Parasomnia, shall be released as planned, in order to honour This also marks the end of Colosseum as a band, but Juhani’s musical genius and have been touched by his art.

******* Long running LA, California U.S. experimental metal heroes ISIS have officially disbanded, retiring the band. FROM ISIS MYSPACE: ISIS has reached an end. It's hard to try to say it in any delicate way, and it is a truth that is best spoken plainly. This end isn't something that occurred over night and it hasn't been brought about by a single cataclysmic fracture in the band. Simply put, ISIS has done everything we wanted to do, said everything we wanted to say. In the interest of preserving the love we have of this band, for each other, for the music made and for all the people who have continually supported us, it is time to bring it to a close. We've seen too many bands push past the point of a dignified death and we all promised one another early on in the life of the band that we would do our best to ensure ISIS would never fall victim to that syndrome. We've had a much longer run than we ever expected we would and accomplished a great deal more than we ever imagined possible. We never set any specific goals when the band was founded other than to make the music we wanted to hear and to play (and to stay true to that ideal), so everything else that has come along the long and winding path has been an absolute gift. As with any momentous life-changing decision (which this certainly is for the 5 of us), we feel a very dynamic range of emotions about this and cannot express all of it within the space of a few sentences, and perhaps it's best to do what we've always done in and let our music speak for us. It is and has been the truest expression of who we are as a collective and in some ways who we are as individuals for the 13 years in which we've been together. The last and perhaps most important thing we might say in relation to all this is how grateful we are for the people that have supported us over the years. It is a lengthy list that would include those who put out our records, those that played on them and put them to tape, the many bands with whom we shared the stage, all of our family, friends and companions who supported us in our individual lives and thus made it possible for us to continue on in the band, and most importantly those who truly listened to our music whether in recorded form or by coming to out to our shows (or both). It is quite true that we would never have done what we have without those people, that is many of you who are reading this. Our words can never fully express what we feel, but we hope that our music and the efforts made to bring it into being can serve as a more proper expression of gratitude for this life and for everyone in it. Thank you.In more immediate and practical terms the tour we are about to embark upon is indeed our last. We are hoping that these final live rituals can help us bring a close to the life of this band in a celebratory and reverent way, and also provide us with a chance to say goodbye to many of those that have supported us over the years. While there is a measure of sadness that comes with the passing of this band, we hope that the final days can be joyous ones during which any and all that wish to come and join us will do so. It seems fitting that the last show of the tour and of our active existence will take place in Montreal, the site of the very first ISIS show in 1997 (though that was an unintentional move when booking the show initially). After the tour we also plan to follow through with other projects set in motion some time ago - pursuing the completion of a final EP, compiling live audio and visual material for future releases, and generally doing whatever we can to make our music available for as long as there are people who wish to hear it. ISIS, May 18, 2010
******** Norwegian doom metal band FUNERAL have parted ways with vocalist Frode Forsmo. FROM FUNERAL MYSPACE: Funeral have parted ways with singer Frode Forsmo.We wish Frode the best of luck in the future.

************** UK doomsters INDESINENCE will re issue "Neptunian" on vinyl this summer: "Neptunian" will be re-released on vinyl this summer through Me Saco Un Ojo Records. The LP will feature the same songs as the original CD (the "Neptunian" EP & "Ecstatic Lethargy" demo. The tracks have been re-mastered for vinyl by Daniel Lowndes (Cruciamentum / Resonance Sound).

Also, there is a new album written; the band is in the process of re-demoing and refining the material...It will be recorded and released hopefully this year or early 2011. .
***************** Legendary doom act UNHOLY will re-issue the bands entire catalog on PEACEVILLE.
FROM UNHOLY:1 Peaceville has every copyright to all full-lengths, which they will release in few months.
2 Relapse is interested for t-shirts etc shit (which we will decide asap, will they do it or does Nothern Heritage has a better offer?)
3 NH´s first plan was to release all demos + the 2 first full-lenghts, but as Peaceville owns now all copyrights, it delayed NH´s all Holy Hell/Unholy releases+ NH will also release t-shirts etc usual band merchandise(not 100% sure as theres Relapse recs also interested)
4 Ahdistuksen Aihio records' plan was to release all albums in cd-format + 2 last albums as gatefolds.


As avantgarde recs didn't inform us they have sold copyrights to Peaceville, all plans changed, it was very close NH/AA was about to releasing everything, but then we heard Peaceville has copyrights and we had to change all plans. Otherwise there would be a copyright issue and as Peaceville is a major label, breaking their copyrights would be a big mess. Luckily everything's ok now, but - delayed."
*************** Atlanta, Georgia Psychedelic metal band ZOROASTER have completed work on the bands new opus entitled "MATADOR". FROM ZOROASTER: Celebrated Atlanta, GA “psych metal” band ZOROASTER has completed work on its sophomore album. Entitled Matador, the record is set for a July 13, 2010 North American release date via E1 Music.... With Matador, ZOROASTER dares to defy genre-classification and proves that the band’s formidable reputation precedes it for a reason. Produced and engineered by Sanford Parker at Glow in the Dark Studios and The Living Room Recording in Atlanta, GA and mastered by Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room in Chicago, IL, Matador is a magnetic tour-de-force, blending vivid rhythms and radiance with the band’s classic use of dynamics and power. Creative, distinct, graceful and strong, Matador features the traits of a benchmark release. From the cosmic march of album opener “D.N.R.” through to the leviathan-like closing title track, it is immediately evident that ZOROASTER has joined friends – and fellow Atlanta natives – Mastodon and new label mates High on Fire as a unit determined to push modern heavy music into new and uncharted realms.

Matadors dynamite cover art has been unveiled and is available for viewing at The record’s face and album art was designed by artist Brian Mercer.

The final track listing for ZOROASTER Matador is as follows:

1.) “D.N.R.”
2.) “Ancient Ones”
3.) “Odyssey”
4.) Trident”
5.) “Firewater”
6.) “Old World”
7.) “Black Hole”
8.) “Odyssey II”
9.) “Matador”

ZOROASTER has announced a U.S. tour in celebration of Matador’s impending release. Presented by Brooklyn Vegan and Roxwel, the “SUMMER SOUTHERN BURN” tour will kick off on June 15 in Birmingham, AL and will include stops in NYC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin and more. Joining ZOROASTER on the road will be Savannah, GA metallers Black Tusk and fast-rising Florida-based “gloom metal” duo Dark Castle. The official “SUMMER SOUTHERN BURN” tour, spotlighting all of the tour’s live dates can be viewed now at this location.

ZOROASTER features guitarist / vocalist Will Fiore, bassist / vocalist Brent Anderson and drummer Dan Scanlan. The trio’s span live show has been described as "an obliteration of the senses", earning it the distinction of “Atlanta’s loudest band". The group will headline a special Matador CD release show on July 17 (@ The Earl) for its hometown fans. ZOROASTER’s heady mix of mammoth metal and psychotropic shoegaze has seen the trio hailed as "one of the U.S.'s most promising metal bands" it has receiving shining praise for its explosive power, intriguing mysticism and unique take on heavy music.
************* Russian doomsters COMATOSE VIGIL are working on new material to be released on SOLITUDE PRODUCTIONS next year.
************** New York's UNEARTHLY TRANCE will release their fifth studio album entitled "V" to be unleashed 9/28/2010 in North America and 10/4/2010 internationally on RELAPSE RECORDS.
*************** UK doomsters ESOTERIC are confirmed for Spain's MADRID IS THE DARK FEST 10/30-31, 2010.
*************** Belgium doomsters SERPENTCULT offered up this band update in MARCH: "Hail!

The writing and arranging of the new album is as good as finished, and we will start the recordings of the new album Raised By Wolves in the coming weeks. The complete process of recording, mixing and mastering is something we plan to take until the end of 2010, due to the complex aspect of the recordings. Time and thought are powerful ingredients for this album! No live performances will be scheduled in the coming year, as we wish to concentrate completely on the creation of Raised By Wolves.

************* Denmarks's SATURNUS will re-issue the bands first three releases. FROM SATURNUS MYSPACE:
Our former label Euphonious Records/VME will re-release the first three Saturnus releases internationally on July 26.The releases have been sold out for a while, but will now be available again in new versions.Paradise Belongs To You" 2CD (comes in digipack with all of the legendary Roskilde Festival 1997 CD as a bonus "For The Loveless Lonely Nights" CD (comes in digipack with 2 bonus tracks)Martyre" CD (comes in digipack with 2 bonus tracks)The re-releases are out in Denmark already, and is available at most record stores.
************* Ireland's' MOURNING BELOVETH issued this band update last month: Seven days to play 3 songs......longest doom songs ever....It's been a while since our last update, as usual, and the summer months have crept into our lives with an unnerving ease. It is usually around this time in the Mourning Beloveth cycle that we would be in the midst of writing a new album but it hasn't worked out that way this time round. Firstly and most importantly we had the pleasure of welcoming a new member into the band so we thought we would play one or two gigs to welcome him. This spiraled around December when we were asked to play the seventh addition of Doom Shall Rise, after a six year break, and how could we say no to our German friends. Suffice to say, after a gig in Limerick we were ready to headline DSR on the Friday night in the chapel and it turned out to be one of our best sets in a while and the crowd reaction confirmed our thoughts on the gig. Next up was SWr in Portugal. What was supposed to be 3 days in the sun with some cheap wine and a 40 minute set turned in to 7 days as the now infamous volcano cloud took it’s toll on our flights and we could not leave for another 3 days, after the initial 2 hours of cursing our luck we made the most of it with plenty of sun, cheap beer and food. The gig was good but as anyone who has heard us will understand a 40 minute set has us only warming into the surroundings and suddenly we are finished but hey at least we got to play to alot of people who have probably never heard us before. Last weekend saw us return to London after 4 years to play with our friends Esoteric. Again a great night, the venue was packed and every band played a great set, sounds like mindless platitudes but this time they happen to be true. We really enjoyed our set and slightly taken aback by the amount of people there to see us. A big thanks to Miika and his crew for the night, hopefully we won’t leave it four years before the next gig
And so, next up we have Hells Pleasure in Germany on July 23 and 24 with an underground line up to compete with any festival, and if last year is anything to go by it should be a great weekend. September and we return home to play the second edition of Dublin Doom Day with our friends Officium Triste. We are planning a slightly different set to the usual at this mainly due to the fact that it will be the fourth gig in Ireland in under 2 years so we owe it to ourselves and to the people who come to see us regularly to change things around. Madrid is the Dark fest in October, organized by our old comrade, and cloud metal specialist Adrian Butler will be our first gig in Spain since Doomination of Europe so many moons ago. And keep an eye to the site as we may have one or two more announcements regarding gigs for the rest of 2010.
To other news, and finally the 10” split with our friends Wreck of the Hesperus has been released, 5 years of thinking about it, one night of recording and a year wait to press it...at least we haven’t lost our slow touch, but we think it was worth the wait. The artwork turned out perfectly and our take on Nick Cave’s “The Weeping Song” sound s just as we imagined it, bleak, melancholic full of passion and most of all a touch of the MB sound,and judging by the reaction alot of other people think so too. This release is made all the more poignant as it is the final recording Brian made with us before he left the band last October. Obviously a limited pressing so anyone who wants one now is the time from Sentinel Records....and this will not be appearing in any other format...ever.
So onwards and down to a dark summer and hopefully by the end of the year our minds will have turned to
