French black metal warriors TEMPLE OF BAAL are set to release a SPLIT with VI and THE ORDER OF APOLLYON, due to be unleashed late 2016 (release date T.B.A.) via AGONIA RECORDS.








THE ORDER OF APOLLYON unleashed "THE SWORD AND THE DAGGER", 2/15/2015 via  LISTENABLE RECORDS.


TEMPLE OF BAAL unleashed "MYSTERIUM", 10/2/2015 via AGONIA RECORDS.


VI unleashed "DE PRAESTIGIIS ANGELORUM", 929/2015 via AGONIA RECORDS. 

FROM AGONIA RECORDS:
French black/death metallers VI, Temple Of Baal and THE ORDER OF APOLLYON team up for a split!
The band's are currently at BST Studio recording new material, which will be released on Agonia Records in late 2016.
VI commented: "Being a part of this split along with Temple of Baal and The Order Of Apollyon was an opportunity for us to release a new single track. We thought we were done for a while with creating new music since the release of De Praestigiis Angelorum, but it appeared that we still had more to do. Expect something slightly different from what we're known for. Expect something unique".
TEMPLE OF BAAL commented: "Split releases have paved Temple Of Baal’s history through the years as special items in the band’s discography, done with special bands strictly chosen for their common views on Black and Death Metal as sacred works of Left Hand Path dedication. Once more, Temple Of Baal teams up with bearers of the Black Flame to bring a three-fold testimony of Faith".
THE ORDER OF APOLLYON commeted: "Joining forces with Agonia for a fresh new start for The Order, we deemed appropriate to release something special. We chose to share this one with artists that we respect not only as musicians, but also as genuinely devoted human beings. The song we wrote for this EP is also meant to give you a taste of what's to come on our side in the near future".

FROM BLUE STAHLI:
 Get it here: http://fixtstore.com/circleofdust
Bed of Nails has always been my favorite Circle of Dust song. I loved the fact that it was hidden track, and in discovering it, it added even more to the mysterious and hypnotic vibe for me. Listening was always during long cathartic nighttime drives, or sitting in the dark in headphones letting it take me away. So with this remix, I aimed to tap into that atmosphere and feel that made me want to live in this song.

DECAPITATED: "You might have also noticed that we’ve withdrawn the limited edition t-shirt/ tops that we planned to sell to help us raise funds for the case. This is because Earache immediately sent us a cease and desist letter to stop us using the artwork on them, despite us having the blessing and support of the original artist who created the “Organic Hallucinosis” album cover. If only they would act as quickly for serious matters"

Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED have sent a response to EARACHE RECORDS statement on MONDAY. An Earache records executive stated the label had won in court versus DECAPITATED and do NOT owe the band royalties. 







DECAPITATED  are set to raise legal funds (for legal fees) to acquire the bands catalog from former label EARACHE RECORDS.










DECAPITATED unleashed "BLOOD MANTRA",  9/26/2014 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.






FROM DECAPITATED:
In response to Earache's statement issued on Monday - 27th June, 2016.
'The only thing that is garbage is the terrible failure by Earache to properly account, pay royalties and to have left us in a position where we need to pursue legal action in order to enforce our rights.
In reply to Earache’s statement - there was no court case - what actually happened is that we served Earache with a formal request for payment of what we believed to be due. Hoping to settle the matter with Earache without going to court, we agreed to withdraw the demand. The court decided nothing and did not even consider the claims. Predictably, and despite Earache’s undertaking to do so within 28 days in September last year, we’re still waiting! So we are now raising funds to instruct a lawyer to pursue our claims.
You might have also noticed that we’ve withdrawn the limited edition t-shirt/ tops that we planned to sell to help us raise funds for the case. This is because Earache immediately sent us a cease and desist letter to stop us using the artwork on them, despite us having the blessing and support of the original artist who created the “Organic Hallucinosis” album cover. If only they would act as quickly for serious matters. It’s disappointing, but unfortunately not surprising, that Earache would rather waste time and money being obstructive and uncooperative instead of simply paying their bands what is due (yes, sadly we are not the only band Earache have treated appallingly and/or haven’t paid, but more on that later!) Fear not though, as we will be releasing limited edition tops with new artwork on our website (https://www.musicglue.com/decapitated) soon.'

VEHEMENCE: "With main songwriter and mastermind Bjorn moving far away, Vehemence is calling it a day."

Arizona, USA based melodic death metal warriors VEHEMENCE 
are again disbanding, this time permanently, as guitarist BJORN is leaving the band.  











VEHEMENCE disbanded in 2005 and again in 2006 as the band re-formed in 2007.


VEHEMENCE unleashed "Forward Without Motion",  10/23/2015 via BATTLEGROUND RECORDS.

VEHEMENCE unleashed "Helping The World To See" 4/5/2004 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.













FROM VEHEMENCE:
Over 20 years ago a group of high school friends decided to sit down together and write a song. That song quickly became two songs, then three. As these friends continued developing the framework for a demo cassette, a couple of outstanding musicians and friends completed a full group in the form of bass and drums. Starting full rehearsals in parents homes, eventually growing into a band rehearsal studio, these friends were developing something very special with their music. Demo tape and first CD recorded, this group took their music on the road to other cities and states. Eventually this effort lead to a meeting with Brian Slagel from Metal Blade records. Agreements made and hands shaken, this group now grew to something bigger than these friends ever imagined it could.
Today we find these friends packing up shop and turning off the lights once more.
With main songwriter and mastermind Bjorn moving far away, Vehemence is calling it a day.
We can not properly express our gratitude for our incredible fans, but know that each of you impact us so positively and will be in our thoughts forever.
We still have some merchandise items for sale on our store, so get them before they're all gone.
And thank you to any and everyone that supported us along this journey.
-Nathan

DECAPITATED: "We have released a brand new ’20 Years of Madness’ t-shirt to help raise legal funds to get our catalogue back from Earache Records - check the video for the full story below"

Polish death metal warriors DECAPITATED have unleashed new 20th anniversary merchandise to raise funds (for legal fees) to acquire the bands catalog from former label EARACHE RECORDS.










DECAPITATED unleashed "BLOOD MANTRA",  9/26/2014 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.








FROM DECAPITATED:
We have released a brand new ’20 Years of Madness’ t-shirt to help raise legal funds to get our catalogue back from Earache Records - check the video for the full story below


In 1999 when we signed with Earache we were just teenagers..we thought it was going to be an amazing opportunity, signing to a world famous metal label.

Thanks to the support from our fans we were able to forge a great career from Decapitated and we appreciate every person who has bought our records...unfortunately, we have not seen a penny from owed royalties from Earache.

Due to on-going disputes with the label regarding these unpaid royalties and contested breaches of contract we find ourselves in a position whereby we need to pursue legal action to rectify already very overdue issues, not only to get justice for the band but more importantly for Vitek's widow and daughter and Covan and his carers.

We are launching a new limited edition t-shirt specially to help raise funds for the case and we'll be grateful if you want to buy one. In the meantime, as ever, your good wishes and support are appreciated!
