MOONSPELL: COMMENT ON GREEK FINANCIAL CRISIS

Portugal based Gothic metal warriors MOONSPELL have commented on the GREEK financial crisis as the nation is close to defaulting on their debt, perhaps going bankrupt or/and leaving the 19 nation Eurozone. 










MOONSPELL released "EXTINCT", unleashed 3/15/2015 via NAPALM RECORDS. 



 FROM ABCNEWS:
1000s of protesters have gathered outside Parliament in Athens as Greece's financial crisis appears to be near a breaking point -- http://abcn.ws/1T29UM0 - [ VIDEO: Instagram / nate_perdont ]

FROM NY TIMES: 
 http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/business/international/greece-debt-crisis-euro.html?_r=0
 FROM MOONSPELL:
"Be strong saith my heart; I am a soldier; I have seen worst sights than this." Homer
I really don't know what my brothers in Moonspell think about this subject. They have the right to live their lives and to stay away from politics, I don't blame them at all. Just to say this is a purely personal post made out of disgust of what's happening in "Europa" right now and how its rotten face behind the mask is showing. As far as I am concerned, even if the Greek politicians were bad managers and spend stupidly (tell us about it in Portugal), regardless of anything, Greece is for me, and I am not mentioning their History (don't need to) is nothing but an example of freedom, democracy and resistance. I have many friends there and I stand behind their country. As a wise friend told me today, on the day he turns 43, non serviam.

LAMB OF GOD: POST NEW VIDEO FOR "OVERLORD"

Richmond, Virginia based thrash/core warriors LAMB OF GOD have posted the official video for  "OVERLORD", a new track from the bands anticipated new release "VII: STURM UND DRANG", due to be unleashed 7/24/2015 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. 









LAMB OF GOD have unleashed the bands riveting documentary "AS THE PALACES BURN (THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH THE FIRE)" in THEATERS 2/16/2014.




LAMB OF GOD unleashed "Resolution" 1/24/2012 via ROADRUNNER/EPIC RECORDS.



FROM LAMB OF GOD:
Watch the "Overlord" Video Premiere: http://smarturl.it/OverlordVideo
From Randy: “For years I've wished that I could have a movie camera directly linked to my brain so that some of the ideas I see in my mind's eye could be translated into film for others to watch. Although that is obviously an impossibility (and probably a good thing- I find many things amusing that might not be so funny to everyone else), the video for "Overlord" is the next best thing for me. I came up with the idea and wrote the treatment for this video myself- to see Jorge (the director) take my concept, add his own touches, and use his technical know-how to translate my "mental script" into a suitably dark visual narrative is just an awesome, awesome experience for me.
I wrote the song about the dangers of self-obsession in our distressingly myopic and increasingly entitled "me-now/now-me" culture; just like the couple in the video, many people can't seem to look past their own relatively small problems to see the bigger picture: the world is in serious trouble. Having a bad day at work, or a fight with your significant other, or getting a crappy haircut or table service does not in any way shape or form constitute an emergency. Sometimes things just don't work out the way we want them to- deal with it. People who only see their own problems eventually wind up alone because no one wants to hear their crap anymore- we all know someone like that, always whining and complaining about some inconsequential setback as if it were the apocalypse. This song is for those people.
Oh yeah- if you're out and about, watching the video on your pocket hate machine (mobile phone), try not to wander into traffic. A little situational awareness goes a long way."

Avast, ye landlubbers! From the deepest darkest depths of the Caribbean comes ALESTORM, a drunken band of pirates on an epic quest to drink your beer, steal your rum, and be the greatest damn band that ever did sail the seven seas!
Describing their style as "True Scottish Pirate Metal", ALESTORM plays an infectious blend of modern folk and power metal with a unique piratical twist. After forming in 2006 and rapidly gaining a cult following in their local scene, the band signed to Austria's Napalm Records, and released four groundbreaking albums; "Captain Morgan's Revenge" (2008), "Black Sails at Midnight" (2009), "Back Through Time" (2011), and now their latest album "Sunset on the Golden Age" (2014). Prepare to have your mind blown with some of the catchiest Pirate Metal anthems you've ever heard, with tales of mythological creatures, epic battles, and swashbuckling action that'll make you want to raise up a pint of rum and sing your heart out. ALESTORM are coming to kick ass and chew gum. And they're all out of gum.
Joining the quest are local comrades in Lagerstein who since 2011, have been partying and playing at all the usual places around our magnificent but dry country. Word has quickly spread around about a band that would play cheesy pirate songs, whilst drinking what is surely enough alcohol to kill a small whale. More and more people started coming to shows, dressing up and just making a night out of going to be part of the Lagerstein shenanigans. Due to this general tomfoolery Lagerstein have created a cult following of beer guzzling, ho down dancing pirates.
Hold on to your butts revellers, ALESTORM'S PIRATEFEST, it's about to get drunk!

CRADLE OF FILTH: POST NEW TRACK "Enshrined In Crematoria"

UK Gothic/blackened extreme metal warriors CRADLE OF FILTH have posted "Enshrined In Crematoria", a track from the bands anticipated new release "HAMMER OF THE WITCHES", due to be unleashed 7/10/2015 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS. 










CRADLE OF FILTH inked a world wide record deal with NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.








CRADLE OF FILTH guitarist PAUL ALLENDER left the band this year.



CRADLE OF FILTH unleashed  "The Manticore and Other Horrors" 10/30/2012 (NORTH AMERICA-ON NUCLEAR BLAST) and 10/29/2012 (EUROPE on PEACEVILLE RECORDS).





FROM NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS:
CRADLE OF FILTH TRACK PREMIERE
https://www.youtube.com/watch…
Listen to "Enshrined In Crematoria" from Cradle of Filth's brand new, upcoming album, Hammer of The Witches, out July 10th via Nuclear Blast Records.
CRADLE OF FILTH | NEW TRACK 'ENSHRINED IN CREMATORIA' POSTED ONLINE
Cradle Of Filth's highly anticipated and caliginous creation ‘Hammer Of The Witches’ is set for release on July 10th but fans hankering to hear new tunes can listen to 'Enshrined In Crematoria' on YouTube: https://youtu.be/BSMWrqZmZK8
Frontman Dani elaborated on the track:
"Lyrically the track 'Enshrined In Crematoria' is hilted in the legendary Ark Of The Tragedian, the poet's Holy Grail. It is the author's inspiration personified as a tombed angel, much like that of Poe's pale obsession, and the magickal 'midnight' ritual wherein she is conjured forth as a reincarnation of his lost love, to provide forbidden artistic sustenance. It is imagination's utter peak and fuel for a literal literary madman. 'Enshrined In Crematoria' is at essence the first of guitarist Richard Shaw's contributions to the new album, before the full band took it by the teeth and spat it into light."
Pre-order 'Hammer Of The Witches' from iTunes to receive 'Enshrined In Crematoria' as an instant-grat track: http://nblast.de/COFHammeriTunes.
'Hammer Of The Witches' was brought to fruition in Britain’s Witch County, in darkest rural Suffolk at the reputedly haunted Grindstone Studios. The album’s title is named after the ‘Malleus Maleficarum’, a medieval document of guidelines regarding the persecution and torture of witches - but Cradle Of Filth’s title version is more retributory: It’s the Hammer Of The Witches; the hammer is in the witches' hands and it's payback time.
'HAMMER OF THE WITCHES' TRACK LIST:
01. Walpurgis Eve
02. Yours Immortally…
03. Enshrined In Crematoria
04. Deflowering The Maidenhead, Displeasuring The Goddess
05. Blackest Magick In Practice
06. The Monstrous Sabbat (Summoning The Coven)
07. Hammer Of The Witches
08. Right Wing Of The Garden Triptych
09. The Vampyre At My Side
10. Onward Christian Soldiers
11. Blooding The Hounds Of Hell
Bonus Tracks:
12. King Of The Woods
13. Misericord
‘Hammer Of The Witches’ will be the first Nuclear Blast album to have a global release date.
'HAMMER OF THE WITCHES' IS AVAILABLE TO ORDER IN A VARIETY OF FORMATS:
Nuclear Blast: http://nblast.de/COFHammerNB
iTunes: http://nblast.de/COFHammeriTunes
Amazon (Physical): http://nblast.de/COFHammerAmzDigipak

FROM RUDY SARZO (OZZY OSBOURNE): 

FROM MIKE PORTNOY (FORMALLY OF DREAM THEATER): 
FROM BILL BRUFORD (YES):
Really saddened to hear of the death of my old Yes band-mate, Chris Squire. I shall remember him fondly; one of the twin rocks upon which Yes was founded and, I believe, the only member to have been present and correct, Rickenbacker at the ready, on every tour. He and I had a working relationship built around our differences. Despite, or perhaps because of, the old chestnut about creative tension, it seemed, strangely, to work.
He had an approach that contrasted sharply with the somewhat monotonic, immobile bass parts of today. His lines were important; counter-melodic structural components that you were as likely to go away humming as the top line melody; little stand-alone works of art in themselves. Whenever I think of him, which is not infrequently, I think of the over-driven fuzz of the sinewy staccato hits in Close to the Edge (6’04” and on) or a couple of minutes later where he sounds like a tuba (8’.00”). While he may have taken a while to arrive at the finished article, it was always worth waiting for. And then he would sing a different part on top.
An individualist in an age when it was possible to establish individuality, Chris fearlessly staked out a whole protectorate of bass playing in which he was lord and master. I suspect he knew not only that he gave millions of people pleasure with his music, but also that he was fortunate to be able to do so. I offer sincere condolences to his family.
Adios, partner. Bill.

FROM RUSH:
We are saddened to learn of the passing of legendary rock bassist Chris Squire, co-founder of the band Yes.
Geddy offered a few words about what Chris meant to him as a bass player:
“Although we never met, I’m so sorry to hear about Chris Squire from Yes passing. As a bass player and innovator on the instrument he was a huge inspiration to me. Simply put, he was one of the greatest rock bassists of all time. My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.”

FROM OPETH: 

A few days ago we’re reached by the sad news that Chris Squire had passed away. It’s hard to fathom. One of my very first progressive rock records I ever bought was ”Close to the edge”, if it wasn’t the very first. One thing is for sure and that’s that Yes introduced a whole new world of music to me that I didn’t know existed. Changed me. Changed the way I think about music. Changed how I write music. Changed my record collection. My preferences. Chris Squire certainly had a great part in that. And I’m just one Yes fan in a legion of millions. Thank you Chris from us in Opeth. Condolences to his family and bandmates.
