Don't know the Dismember pic - it is the photo in red where Katatonia are posing in front of a large cross. That was actually the only thing a "studio-report" in RH was talking about...

Just saw an interview with them with a photo of the band, some members wearing street wear with baseball caps and stuff...Nuclear Blast obviously pays really badly or these weren't the official promotional shots.

Pure speculation:
Bal-Sagoth seems to be the definition of a "What? They're on our label?" priority for Nuclear Blast. Remember The Power Cosmic, when the photos used were just the Battle Magic photos with lightsabers added in? And no booklet?
Their bio on the Nuclear Blast site uses the adjective "baroque" five times.
Makes me wonder why this album took so long to come out.
I hope Byron (or somebody from that band... anyone ever see an interview with a Maudling?) agrees to answers the 100 Questions. You know, the one with 127 questions.
Legacy says: new drummer, Maudling composing RPG-music, getting better recording equipment, working on Bal-Sagoth comics made for the hiatus.

Bal Sagoth (or at least Byron) is on the cover of the new Zero Tolerance. He's always worn a baseball cap, etc, as far as I know. I remember folks whining about it years ago, as he'd come on stage brandishing a huge sword but looked like a regular biker type who just walked in off the street. I guess people were expecting the sort of thing that Turisas and the likes get up to these days...
Byron ten years ago in Ablaze magazine (translated back into English)
"There is absolutely no room here for the disgusting religion of this slave-Christ. The same goes for the decrepit belief of the muslims, Islam. It should not be practiced here on this ancient, sacred and heathen soil. When the first servants of Christ came to my land a long time ago to pollute it with their puny belief, they should have been killed immediately and every Christian servant following them as well."
Da heathen with da basecap...I hope he's become the wiser...

Well if he's wearing a Cleveland Indians or Atlanta Braves baseball cap, and not a California Angels baseball cap, for instance, he would be supporting the heathens with his choice of cap.
I don't know if it is Byron, but his cap has the Batman logo, and his hoodie the print "Gotham City" and the logo as well...no shit!
Well, to revive this thread a little, I found this advertised elsewhere on UM.
Wouldn't we all love to be there...? What a great diversity of bands.

Daath has signed to Roadrunner Records. From the press release:
Continues Levi, "Since the beginning, we've believed that Roadrunner was the most appropriate label for DAATH. They are the torch bearers for the metal world and we are proud to be joining their family."
Torch bearers for the metal world?
Eyal Levi is no stranger to a lot of press, though. His father is former Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conductor Yoel Levi (who also conducted the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra on Yngwie's Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in Eb minor, Op. 1), and Eyal used to be in a band called Lost Breed (not the Hellhound band) in Atlanta, and as an unsigned band opened for Queensrÿche and Type O Negative in 1994 I believe in a 15,000+ seat venue, and had his picture on the front page of the daily paper the next day.
There's some news you won't find on Blabbermouth.

Multi-Grammy winner, the legendary KC of KC & The Sunshine Band, and Howard Lee Gatch, are the personal managers for the Roller Rapper. KC, who made music history with 4 #l hits in one year, states, "I feel that the Roller Rapper song and video is something that is fun, upbeat, and positive.

Rick Finch, the co-founder of KC & The Sunshine Band, produced The Roller Rapper's hit single. Finch has produced 12 #1 hits, received 7 Grammy nominations, and won 4 Grammy awards.
A movie and a music video for his new single "Skate" will be shot during his exciting adventure. Tyrone Dixson, award winning producer of "Rollbounce and 8 WheelDoc" will be the the producer for the Roller Rapper movie and music video.
"With all the struggles in the world, the problems with family life and with youth obesity, I feel there has never been a greater need for an entertainer like me to promote an event that is healthy, fun and brings people together in a positive way," states the Roller Rapper. "To keep the entire world involved in my nostalgic and historic tour, we will be filing daily video blogs that will be posted on the website(www.rollertour.com) so everyone can join the fun and adventures that will highlight all of the fascinating faces and places that make Route 66 a unique travel experience," he concludes.
Some of the cities that the Roller Rapper will visit include Chicago, Springfield Il., St. Louis, Springfield Mo., Wichita, Ks, Tulsa, Ok., Amarillo, Tx., Albuquerque, NM., Santa Fe, NM, Flagstaff, Az., Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Ca. and Los Angeles.The Roller Rapper will be accompanied by the famous Love Girls who are a stunningly beautiful group of entertainers who add fun and glamour to the shows.
The Roller Rapper predicts that his skating marathon of the entire length of Route 66 will end in L.A. in mid-August. This is the 80 year anniversary of Route 66 which makes it a more special event. "I am trying to bring the nation together in a celebration of love to promote the idea of showing kindness and giving love unconditionally to others. I am proud that my music never features violence, drugs, bling-bling or blatant sexuality," states the Roller Rapper.
OPRAH has been invited to join the Roller Rapper in Chicago on July 6th at the USA Skates roller rink. The Roller Rapper has asked OPRAH to select her favorite charity, and monies will be raised for OPRAH's selected charity throughout the tour.

From the Century Media mailorder program:
"Autumn Offering, The - Embrace The Gutter The Autumn Offering have perfected a dynamic blend of metal styles that expresses their outrage against the shallow beach culture and vacuous values of southern Florida. What makes them stand out from the pack is their seamless blend of the mind-boggling solos and rock and roll stylings of heroes like Guns 'N Roses with traditional metal's darker outlook and heavy riffing made popular by bands like Pantera, Shadows Fall and Slayer. "
So G'n'R LA-glam culture will be less shallow than "beach culture" if you blend it with metal from da street?
