FROM MOTORHEAD:
Due to a production error, the release of Motörhead’s “Aftershock "Tour Edition”, originally scheduled for early July, has been postponed. The slightly longer wait and anticipation for this great album will definitely be worth it!

This summer will see Motörhead officially tour the European festival circuit, their first string of shows since the release of “Aftershock”, and to celebrate this, UDR/Motörhead Music/ADA will be re-releasing the album under the title “Aftershock - Tour Edition” on August 1, 2014 in Europe, August 4, 2014 in The UK and August 26, 2014 in the USA/Canada. This expanded release will contain a bonus disc of live material comprised from their historic 2014 West Coast Tour!

In further celebration of the reissue, UDR/Motörhead Music/ADA will be releasing a video for the song "Lost Woman Blues" filmed live from The Warfield in San Francisco on Friday April 18th, 2014. The show was part of the band's warm-up mini tour for the current European festivals. The song's performance, verve, swagger and attitude show Motörhead have maintained their rich ripeness and added another layer of grit and polish. The video is set to premier on VH1 Classic on July 7th in the USA/Canada!!!

It proves one major thing no-one should ever forget...they are Motörhead, and they play rock'n'roll!

THE BRIDGE is directed by BOBBY FIELD and is due to be unleashed in 2014 soon.

http://thebridgethemovie.com/











FROM MINISTRY:
Ministry's Sin Quirin is getting the acting bug! Go check out the Bridge page (https://www.facebook.com/bridgemovie) and show them some love. And for those that have asked, Sin is 100%. Now go add him (https://www.facebook.com/sin.quirin) and like The Bridge The Movie.
For those that don't know, I am going to be in my first feature film called The Bridge The Movie. It stars Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders/Thin Lizzy), Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister), Joey Santiago (Pixies). Please "like" the movie page and help us by adding a caption to this picture! Thanks



FROM THE BRIDGE: 

Starring Bobby Field, Gwendolyn Edwards, Jason Gurvitz, Joe Elliott, Joey Santiago, Sinn Quirin, Ricky Warwick, Eddie Ojeda
"The Bridge" is a Rock & Roll drama, feature film about the unlikely rise of small town music prodigy, Luke Weaver, who faces the decision to choose life or continue down his steadfast path to self destruction.

Suffocating in the monotony of small town life and going nowhere fast, Luke watches his hometown band - and life as he knows it - crumble, as his longtime best friend and bandmate, Scotty, moves on. No future in sight, Luke's despair plunges even deeper with the return of his ex who brings unexpected complications that could change his life forever. Desperate, he turns to the only person he has left: Natalie, his childhood friend... and Scotty's girlfriend. With shadows from his past weighing him down, Luke embarks on a quest that will change his life, and his music, forever.

Driven by its powerfully moving original soundtrack, "The Bridge" portrays a difficult and honest journey of the human spirit, taking us across deep divides most of us fear crossing.

We all have that one particular bridge that will lead us to what we want (or think we want) the most… what's stopping you from crossing yours?

Being a lifelong fan of Rock music, Writer / Director Bobby Field has called upon some high profile, rock musicians to be a part of his cast: Joe Elliot (Def Leppard), Joey Santiago (The Pixies), Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy / Black Star Riders / The Almighty), Sin Quirin (Ministry), Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister), Tiny (TSOL)

MAURIZIO IACONO (KATAKLYSM): COMMENTS ON NORTH CAROLINA METAL BAND PIGS BLOOD STUNT

MAURIZIO IACONO, vocalist for Canadian extreme metal warriors KATAKLYSM has commented on Charlotte, North Carolina blackened crust band THE YOUNG AND IN THE WAY's controversial 6/22/2014 show @ THE LEXINGTON AVE. BREWERY (ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA).       THE YOUNG AND IN THE WAY  flooded the stage (and back stage area during the bands 6/22/2014 show) with (real) pigs blood (thrown into the audience) , forcing the venue to close down for three days for a clean up.






KATAKLYSM unleashed "Waiting for The End To Come" 10/25/2013 (EU), 10/28/2013 (UK), 10/29/2013 (NORTH AMERICA) via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

 THE YOUNG AND IN THE WAY unleashed "When Life Comes To Death" 5/27/2014 via DEATH WISH RECORDS.



FROM MAURIZIO IACONO (KATAKLYSM):

The lack of new ideas amongst new metal bands emerging is disturbing and sad ,it seems no one can think of new things anymore .. thats why this industry called "metal " is at the bottom of the list these days..gone are the true rockstars and innovators , we are treating music the same way sports treat new future athletes and our kids .. "everyone is a winner " even if you finish last..

VANHELGA: SET TO UNLEASH "LPT"

Swedish depressive black metal warriors VANHELGA have unleashed  "DESCENDING INTO DARKNESS" and "Dag 3", two tracks from the bands anticipated  new mini release "LPT",  due to be unleashed (6/25/2014) and 6/30/2014 via ART OF PROPAGANDA.








VANHELGA unleashed "Langtan" 4/28/2014 via ART OF PROPAGANDA.










FROM VANGELGA:
This creation is the result of a long period of time beeing hospitalized under the Swedish law called "LPT". I had no freedom at all and the only thing present was total misery and silence. All lyrics, music and artwork was created during this time of isolation because I was lucky and had access to a laptop.
The conclusion of this is; if you want to get a feeling of the anxiety, misery, depression and pain that beeing locked inside of a psychiatric ward provides -- listen to this piece of art.

The sound in the beginnning was recorded at the asylum by different patients (without their knowing). The main melody was inspired by it.The track has a bit more depressed feel to it than our earlier works but it has it's explanations..
145188's near death experience converted into a piece of art.

Statement from 145188: "This was created during a second hospitalization that nearly caused my death. My camera was shit and I had only access to a piano. But all you hear and see was composed and written during this time. The piano was recorded with a mobilephone on the piano in the room where the priests gives their last blessings."

FROM PATRICIA THOMAS MANAGMENT: 
Here's today's news from Vanhelga and not one, but two tracks you might not have heard before.

With a lineup that can lay claim to a considerable pedigree in the form of founder J. Ottosson, aka 145188 (ex-LIFELOVER (live session musician), ex-SKOGSTRON) on Bass, Guitars and Vocals, J. Gabrielson (ESKAPI, ex-LIVELOVER) on Vocals, J. Ejnarsson (TAKETH),  Wadström (ex-SKOGSTRON) on guitars and D. Franzén on drums, Swedish Depressive Black Metallers VANHELGA are going through a particularly prolific phase at the moment, with the mini digi album “LPT” coming up hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed third full-length album “Längtan” .
As 145188 explains, this was not an album that was planned, but rather one that resulted from a particularly black period he recently went through. ” This creation is the result of me being hospitalized for a long period of time under a Swedish law called “LPT” – hence the name of the album itself.  I had no freedom at all and the only thing present day in and day out was abject misery and silence.  I was, however, lucky enough to have been given access to a laptop and I was therefore able to create all the lyrics, music and artwork for “LPT” during this period of isolation.  All I can say is this; if you want to get a feeling of the anxiety, misery, depression and pain that comes from being locked inside a psychiatric ward,  then listen to this piece of art.”
“LPT” will be available as a digital release through BandCamp on the 25th July, and pre-ordering will be available as from  the 30th June at http://www.vanhelga.bandcamp.com
Tracklisting for “LPT” as follows:
1. Dag 1
2. Dag 2
3. Dag 3
4. LPT
5. Descending into Darkness (bonus track)
In the meantime, VANHELGA have previewed the title track “LPT” which can be heard below and on VANHELGA’s YouTube channel  at http://youtu.be/ZaNI1V475pM
October will see  VANHELGA team up with Art of Propaganda label-mates HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY for a series of shows in Germany alongside AGRYPNIE.  Routing as follows:
22 Oct:  Steinbruch Theater, Darmstadt
24 Oct:  From Hell, Erfurt
25 Oct:  K17, Berlin
26 Oct:  Bambi Galore, Hamburg

 SOUNDWAVE is set to take place 2/21/-22, 2015 in ADELAIDE and MELBOURNE,  2/28/-3/1/2015

FROM SOUNDWAVE PROMOTERS: 
From The Promoters Twitter:
Soundwave Festival 2015 will be held over 2 days in each city - Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane. Half the bands play day one. The other half play day two. They criss-cross Saturday/Sunday in each city.
Adelaide & Melbourne will be the 1st weekend of the festival. The dates for these two cities are Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 of February.

Sydney and Brisbane will be the 2nd weekend of the festival; held over Saturday 28 February and Sunday 1 March.
The ticket price for the 2 days will be the same as last year. $185 + booking fees. These will be limited in number. There will also be a number of day tickets available at $120 + booking fees.
We are hoping that offering day tickets will make the festival experience available to those who may not be able to afford weekend tickets. Putting the line-up across 2 days enables us to minimise clashes; give bands longer sets, better staging, production & infrastructure. We are also hoping that this will give fans better value for money and a less stressful day
The entire lineup will be announced at once and weekend tickets will then go on sale. The lineup will then be split into individual days when day tickets go on sale.
In recent years we have lost great bands over too many bands wanting to play after dark. This new set-up also gives us twice the dark!

FROM RANDY BLYTHE (LAMB OF GOD):

 http://instagram.com/p/pwSklUosu5/
The woman beside me, my wife Cindy, texted me this morning telling me that 2 years ago today I was arrested in Prague. This made me a little emotional- a lot of things have happened in 24 months- for 14 of those months, I didn't know whether or not I would be going to prison for 5-10 years. In those 24 months, I have toured the US, Europe, Asia, Australia/NZ, finishing in Africa just 4 1/2 months ago. I've had dear friends die, get married, have children. I've spoken at funerals, at a the premier of a movie about my band, I've gotten my own radio show where I've spoken to guys who've influenced me since high school. I've convinced friends to go to rehab, I've seen some stay sober & some not. Our 18 y/o cat Henry died, & we got our new cat, Salad. I've been pursued by a literary agent, convinced to write a memoir, & got a book contract. I've written & recorded music that was performed by the Richmond Ballet (this photo by@_brianbrown is from the premier), &; I've sang on a project with one of my punk rock heroes. I've written band bios, record reviews, memorial pieces for dead friends for magazines. I've had my photos used by bands, & gotten a solo gallery exhibit scheduled for Spring 2015 in NYC I'm working on. I've written lyrics & most of my book. I've had good days & bad days. Two years ago today I was in jail, scared & wishing I was free & could go surfing. In a few moments, I will do just that- I'm in the best shape I've ever been in my life. I've stayed sober one day, sometimes, one minute at a time throughout all this, & this woman has stuck by me as I fumble through this thing we call life. So I love you, honey! Thanks for sticking with me- I am 43 years old, & I am still learning & growing- it's good to have a partner on the trip.

FROM GRIMLAIR:

Hi everyone,

Another song (with no vocals yet) from the upcoming album.
Drums parts are recorded.
I will start to add samples, effects soon, after this : lyrics & vocals.

The sample at the beginning is from the great Swedish movie/documentary called : "Ett anständigt liv" (A decent life - 1979) from the "mods" trilogy.
Greetings,

I started to record drums yesterday for the upcoming album.
You can preview it by reading the video below.
I am sorry for the time and lack of news.
Thank you for your support.

New song (in low quality with no vocals yet) from the upcoming album, 2015.
Still in progress, song unfinished.
