Hi, Brett Garsed’s new CD entitled “Dark Matter” is now available for pre-order. You can find on his official website some really long sample tracks (about 50-60% of the original song). Brett himself stated on his discussion forum that on this album he was more interested in the...

This is excellent, congratulations :). Did anyone caught this on video? :) Andreas Jonsson is out of the band? cause I saw that Gildas Le Pape from Satyricon was handling the second guitar duties. Is he the new SA guitarist?

That sounds great :). I know I'm off-topic a bit, but can you record some video footage of the rehearsals? I think lots of SA fans will be very intereseted in this kind of thing :).

This is a sad news. But, you said “put it to sleep” so I guess this isn’t nowhere near to a “split-up”, but more to an “on-hold” or “idle” status. This meaning that when the 4 of you will have the free time and inspiration you will “activate” Exivious again for gigs / shows and a new album...

You can add Atheist, Martyr, Cynic and maybe Exivious to the list :).

Hey, Eyal Levi and Emil Werstler (the Daath guitarists) just released an instrumental prog tech metal album called “Avalanche of Worms”. It’s released under the name “Levi / Werstler” and it features on drums Sean Reinert of Cynic. Check it out: http://www.myspace.com/leviwerstler

Hey. I was wondering if the guys from SA would post some footage (shows, old rehearsals, new rehearsals – with some new material, etc…). I think it would be very nice to show an insight regarding the SA “world”. Thx :). PS All I could find are the live videos where they...

@ MAVIII 10x, Cloudkicker sounds quite nice :) Pestilence had an album called "Spheres" released in 1993 where they moved towards a more prog & tech death metal (complex time signatures, guitar synth, fretless bass etc...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaEgNU1wqQ8&feature=related...

"After", Ihsahn's 3rd album is out. It features Lars K Norberg on bass (who also played bass on his second album, After (2008)], Asgeir Mickelson on drums [who played both on The Adversary (2006) and AngL (2008)] and Jorgen Munkeby on Saxophone. Any opinions? IMO Ihsahn shows (if it was still...

Very nice :) The song is very balanced, but is also dark and brutal. It makes me remember the time when I was listening to bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Sinister, Carcass...

New Twisted into Form video for Torrents ! Studio footage from the making of "Then Comes Affliction to awaken the dreamer" (2006). Twisted into Form: Kaj Gornitzka - guitars (founding Spiral Architect guitarist, featured also on A Sceptic's Universe) Leif Knashaug - vocals (former...

Hi, can you please recommend me a guitar combo (80-100 W) suitable for progressive-fusion-metal? I want to combine it with an Ibanez 7-string, RG 1527M. I want to have some crunchy and clean riffs but some smooth lead tone to... Thanks :).

Thank you for sharing with us the music of Ansur. Indeed original music from this Norwegian band; technical, progressive but also atmospheric. :)

Well, besides Empiricism and Origin you can try Epic and Quintessence. Some "similar" bands: Vintersorg (he's doing lead vocals on the last 3 Borknagar LPs) Solefald (Lars on vocals, keys and drums; he's doing backing vocals and keys in Borknagar) Age of Silence (again Lars on...
