Ne Obliviscaris is releasing their debut in 2010. There hasn't been an official statement about it yet, though.

Yay! I'm looking forward to that one, for sure.

 

[challenge_everything]

Definitely!

Sigh - Scenes From Hell (Experimental metal; The End Records) - January 19, 2010.

Awesome cover.

Wow, the cover alone is making me want to buy it.

Edit: Just had a listen, no thanks. WTF is with the stupid lame cheap keyboard sound in every track?

Amorphis celebrates 20 years by releasing a live DVD

I'm psyched for this.

 

[divine_torture]

There's going to be a studio diary for NeO's new album.

Hell yes, I'm psyched.

 

[mutantllama]

I heard something about Darkthrone releasing another album.

 

[divine_torture]

That I am not interested in. I can appreciate the changes they made in sound with the crust thing, but can't enjoy it.

 

[Einherjar86]

I heard something about Darkthrone releasing another album.

If it's anything like Dark Thrones and Black Flags, I'll pass.

ARMORED SAINT news:

Bassist Joey Vera of Los Angeles metal veterans ARMORED SAINT has issued the following update:

"After six weeks, the new ARMORED SAINT record is done. Well, not entirely….we still have to have it mastered which should be done in the next two weeks. So technically, there's plenty of time for more arbitrary bouts of stress. But all of the tunes have been recorded and mixed. And I have the dark circles under my eyes to prove it!

"As the producer of the record, I did in fact work very long and hard on this. But I didn't work alone. Everyone involved worked their asses off. Gonzo [Sandoval, drums], John [Bush, vocals], Phil [Sandoval, guitar] and Jeff [Duncan, guitar] all came in and gave it everything. Engineer Bryan Carlstrom and his assistant John Nuss were the workhorses who kept up the pace in this session which for the most part meant putting in 12-14-hour days.

"I can't say enough about Bryan, Nuss and Annette Cisneros from Tranzformer Studios in Burbank. This is a first-class operation and to boot, they all gave heart and soul into the project which these days you just cannot even pay for. We are in much debt with them. Truly wonderful people.

"The result is just amazing, and I may be hasty when I say that this may be our best record ever. But all dopes in bands say that right? Well, this time I think it's true and although my reasons may be purely personal, I still deem it truth. The songs are great and it sounds great.

"The title of our new record is 'La Raza' which means 'The Race'.

"For all of you tech nerds out there, a few quick bits on how we made this one: We used nothing but analog gear, most of which was custom-built by Rupert Neve for Bryan Carlstrom. We hit every signal (drum mics, guitars, vocals) with custom or vintage analog gear before recording into Pro Tools. We even used rare vintage amps for most of the guitar overdubs. At mix time, we mixed on an SSL 4000E console and went to a one-inch tape reel (one of only two on the West Coast) for our final masters. Uh…. you DO know what tape is, don't you?

"What does this all mean? It means we spit in the ear of the age of the MP3, teenie, tiny ear bud listening culture that has turned it's back on what it means to experience music. This record is FAT. We means, obese! Full-on cardiovascular failure stuff! Old school, baby!

"We are finishing up the other crap that goes with making records. Photo shoots, CD artwork (you DO know what a CD is still, right?), mastering, the running order of the tunes. After that, we wait until it is released. I'm told it's coming out in March 2010 on Metal Blade Records."

"La Raza" will feature the following songs, among others:

* Black Feet
* Chilled
* Loose Cannon
* Blues
* La Raza
* Head On
* Get Off The Fence
* Left Hook From Right Field

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm told it's coming out in March 2010 on Metal Blade Records."

Happy birthday to me!

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Happy birthday to me!

I'm expecting nothing but awesomeness. The 9 near gap between Symbol of Salvation and Revelation didn't change anything, so why should the long wait matter this time?
