WORMROT SIGNS TO EARACHE RECORDS, UK TOUR ANNOUNCED

WORMROT SIGNS TO EARACHE RECORDS, ANNOUNCES UK TOUR

Earache Records is proud to announce the signing of Singapore grindcore band
WORMROT.

WORMROT is a three-piece band formed in 2007 by schoolfriends Arif (vocals)
and Rasyid (guitars).  Completed by drummer Fitri, WORMROT take their love
of all things heavy and combine it into utterly pulverising,
classic-sounding grindcore.

Drawing on influences from such grindcore legends as INSECT WARFARE, WORMROT
recorded a number of EPs and splits, before recording their debut
full-length album, ABUSE.  Originally released by Scrotum Jus Records in May
2009, Earache Records is due to re-issue ABUSE with a 34 track bonus disc of
demos and unreleased material, in all of its punishing glory on April 12th,
2010, before WORMROT kick off a European tour.

less talk, all action!"

YOUR DEMISE HELD, SEARCHED AT GUNPOINT AT CANADIAN BORDER

In an earlier press release, we had stated that nothing said "welcome to America" like getting tased. Apparently we were wrong. YOUR DEMISE guitarist, Stu Paice just posted a rather alarming story on the band's official Tumblr page about how the band was stopped at the Canadian border, searched and held at gunpoint by the police:

"As we headed our back into America from Canada, we decided to head to to Tim Hortons for the Last time before we entered the states.

Shortly after leaving, everyone was full of bagels and coffee, Drifting of to sleep, our rest was interrupted by the sound of 3 Canadian Police Cars. Sirens blasting, we pulled over completely baffled as to why we where being stopped as we had done nothing wrong.

So we stopped at the side of the free-way to the sound of, 'Driver, get out of the car now', at this point we had no clue what was going on. So danny gets out and they tell him to stick his hands up and turn around, walk toward the car, we then saw a Police man stick a Gun in Danny back and drag him to the car, Handcuff him and put him the back of the Police car. so we now mental stuff was going through our heads. Next they shouted for the passenger (Pumpjack)  to get out, Same thing, GUN, HANDCUFFS, CAR BONNET!.

We started to giggle nervously and heard, 'All of you , Get out', so we got out and we were told to put our hands in the air and get down on our knees, the whole time, we where held a Gunpoint by 2 Scumbags.

So we get out in the freezing snow, on the ground and the cop starts to search the van, i mean it was like 24 Jack Bauer shit.

They soon began clear, that they had the wrong people and found it to be a bit of a misunderstanding. So it turns out the car infront of us, well the driver had just shot someone, and we had basically just missed it happen. The Police where responding to it and thought it was us, when in theory they got the wrong car/van.

So an eventful last night in Canada

Stu xx"

ORDER OF ENNEAD FRONTMAN EXPLAINS LYRICS FOR NEW ALBUM

Floridian extreme metallers ORDER OF ENNEAD have finished recording their
new album, AN EXAMINATION OF BEING.

AN EXAMINATION OF BEING features nine tracks which expand on the intensity
and complexity of the band's self-titled debut album.

ORDER OF ENNEAD vocalist/guitarist Kevin Quirion gives a track-by-track
explanation of the lyrics and themes of AN EXAMINATION OF BEING:

"I know most people don't read lyrics these days, but this is for the ones
who do. Order Of Ennead's new album, 'An Examination of Being', wasn't
intended to be a concept album, but since all of the subject matter is on
the same topic it lends itself to being one. Below is a brief description
of the lyrical content."

The Concept Of Our Extinction

This first track introduces the topic that¹s interwoven throughout the
entire album, the end of one¹s self. ³Time marches on, This known from
birth, We are all pawns, Such is the fate of man². With these words all is
touched upon, life to death, but the human mind has the need to explore
further the concepts of self and try to rationalize that which is existence.
³Filling the void as my life¹s destroyed, Acceptance of fate, Await the end
of time², touches on the topic that we find distractions to keep ourselves
occupied until these final days.


The Scriptures Of Purification

After accepting the inevitable end, some feel a need to purify the
conscience or cleanse the soul, if it exists. ³Call upon intuition, A voice
of purity, The scriptures of purification, Your being will guide the way²,
these words suggest listening to your inner voice for guidance. How many
times have you had that ³gut feeling² that you didn¹t listen to and ended up
regretting? ³Dissolve subjugation² is a reference to religion that will be
mentioned in the following track.


Lies Upon The Lips Of Judas

Any time life is examined religion seems to get mentioned. The name Judas
comes from the one who betrayed Jesus in the bible. This song turns the
table on the religions of the world by calling them Judas and Jesus gets
played by the masses. ³You will not deceive us² is repeated in the lyrics,
showing those that are ³believers² that we will not fall victim to their
lies and that they have no more of an explanation of existence then the next
cult. Judas has relevance to the Christian church, but this blankets all
religions.


This Mortal Journey

³The reason of creation, The purpose of life, Return of our creators,
Awaiting deliverance². Here we seek answers from the ones that came before
us. Maybe they had some knowledge that got lost? The Ennead is mentioned
here, but when they are referenced it puts a name to the ones that created
man and gave man knowledge and life. Ennead doesn¹t have a meaning to most
people and no ties like a word such as god. We are called Order Of Ennead,
but we don¹t worship the Ennead, that would be contradictory to all of the
subject matter.


...In The Mirror

³Stare at the sun so I can breathe, Shock myself back to reality². With all
of this contemplation it can way you down so our character has stared into
the sun to come out of this coma. He also stares at his reflection and
begins a journey inward. There are references to the living and deceased in
these lyrics and that is to remind the listener that even though this is ³An
Examination Of Self² that everyone that has ever lived goes through the same
journey.

An Examination Of Being

This is the title track of the album so therefore all of the ideas explored
on the album are touched upon. ³I examine my being and question faith, I
seek life¹s meaning and my place in it all². This is the mantra of an
agnostic. Some say that agnostics are atheists that can¹t commit, but this
is not true. Agnostics are those that have come to the conclusion that ³Man
can¹t know of existence, We lack the sight, the sight to see².


Conduits To Eternity

³Look past veil of time, Grasp finite to gain sight². This track explores
the idea of time, ubiquity and all that is in the universe. By being alive,
we are all part of the same collective. I know this concept ³isn¹t very
metal², but everything that is in existence is of the same beginning. ³Shed
the flesh, Embrace the collective². These words are saying that we are all
here and will all pass on, what seems important today will be a memory
tomorrow. When you imagine the Earth spinning in the darkness of space, you
have a tendency to look at life in a different perspective.


A Portal To Rapture

This track and the previous one go hand in hand lyrically. ³Avoid the light
or cease to grow² is another reference to religion. When seeking an
understanding of the universe, religion impedes your evolution. ³Release the
mind, Find inner meaning². These words come to the conclusion that no matter
how much exploring you do, you¹ll never find the final answer so come up
with something that makes you want to live on. ³Release the body, Leave
possessions behind². We aren¹t our possessions. We are more than the things
we own. Monetary wealth does not equal happiness.


A Betrayal Of Self

This is the last track on the album and uses the metaphor of clouds and
blackness as a reference to our fate. ³I try to live on, but my body
betrays². This is the main idea of the song. We have a want to live longer
then we can, but our body won¹t let us. It¹s betraying our intentions, our
self.

AT THE GATES frontman TOMAS LINDBERG comments:

"This is it! The final goodbye! It took some time - mainly because we, and
especially Anders, put his heart and dedication into this project 100%. It
was very important for all of us that this would be a fitting testament for
the band, and a true disposition of our time in the scene. It brings a
smile to me every time I think about the summer of 2008, a special moment
that we now all can relive again and again, the feelings are so
overwhelming. I am so proud to have been part of this. Thanks to everyone
who came out and made it so special and everybody who never stopped
believing."

ORDER OF ENNEAD - NEW TRACK AVAILABLE FOR STREAMING

Floridian extreme metallers ORDER OF ENNEAD recently finished recording
their new album, AN EXAMINATION OF BEING, and have made the first new track
available for streaming.

The brand new song, "The Concept of Our Extinction", is the first track off
AN EXAMINATION OF BEING, and gives fans a taste of the intensity and
complexity that is to come on the album. ORDER OF ENNEAD are also filming a
music video for the song, which is being directed and produced by Advanced
Media.

MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/orderofennead

ORDER OF ENNEAD vocalist/guitarist Kevin Quirion comments:

"Alright, now's the time that everyone can hear what we've been working on.
This track deals with the acceptance and coping of our eventual passing.
The word "our" is meant as everyone individually and not as a mass
extinction because all we are doing is just awaiting our end. See you on
tour."

AN EXAMINATION OF BEING was recorded at Audio Hammer Studios in Sanford,
Florida with producer Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, ALL THAT REMAINS) and
is due to be released on April 20th in North America and April 26th in
Europe.

Well-known for his onstage antics, the singer for Virginian crossover
leaders MUNICIPAL WASTE is using his years of experience in the music
business coupled with his adventures in day-to-day life to write a brand new
column for LeastMost.com, featuring reviews, interviews and articles.

TONY FORESTA comments:

"My good friends behind the FBM bike company recently launched a website
based around BMX, art and music. I love all those things and I really like
their approach at how they handle the FBM company, and I really wanted to be
a part of it in some way.

"I decided I would contribute a music column for the site. I'm just going
to write about things and bands that I find interesting and hopefully
introduce people to a lot of cool things they may not ever hear about.

"Warning: I'm not a writer at all! I'm just doing this for fun and the love
of music. There will be lots of interviews with bands, show reviews, photos
and stories. I'm going to try to do my best at keeping it interesting, so
keep checking it from time to time. Thanks!"

EVILE #3 ON THIS WEEK'S SIRIUS XM LIQUID METAL SPIN CHART

British thrashers, EVILE are making their presence felt on Sirius XM Satellite Radio's Liquid Metal. The band came in at #3 on this weeks playlist with their cover of PANTERA's "Cemetery Gates." Originally recorded for Metal Hammer's Dimebag Darrell tribute CD, the track has taken on a new life as both a rousing rendition by the UK's preeminent thrash act and as the final recording of the band's late bassist, Mike Alexander. Rising out from lower spots on Liquid Metal's weekly playlist, this exclusive, non-album UK/Europe-only compilation track would not have been able to achieve this high position without the help of the fans and the Liquid Metal staff who saw fit that EVILE's take on the classic PANTERA track was a fitting tribute to 2 men who lived and died by heavy metal.

Fans can request EVILE's version of "Cemetery Gates" and contact the staff of Liquid Metal on Sirius 27/XM 42 by going here: http://www.sirius.com/liquidmetal

ORDER OF ENNEAD TO FILM MUSIC VIDEO FOR "THE CONCEPT OF OUR EXTINCTION"

Floridian extreme metallers, ORDER OF ENNEAD will film a new music video during the middle of this month for "The Concept of Our Existence," the ripping opening track off of their upcoming sophomore release, AN EXAMINATION OF BEING. The video plans to match the great intensity and large complexities of the song. Considering that ORDER OF ENNEAD is one of the deepest and most thoughtful metal acts around, that is no easy task. Perhaps that is why vocalist/guitarist, Kevin Quirion and his Largo, FL-based company, Advanced Media will handle all directorial and production duties for the shoot. Knowing the great care that Quirion takes with his work, the video will undoubtedly let the viewer experience the song on a much heightened level -  the way it was meant to be experienced.

Kevin Quirion remarks on "The Concept of Our Extinction:"

"Can't wait to get started on the filming of our first video. I've been working on a very detailed treatment for the video this past week. The idea of the song and video is man's struggle to understand his own existence and the eventual acceptance of mortality. This is an on going lyrical theme throughout the album. We're going capture this visually and make it really special."

ORDER OF ENNEAD recently finished recording their next album, AN EXAMINATION OF BEING with producer, Mark Lewis (TRIVIUM, CHIMAIRA, ALL THAT REMAINS) at Audio Hammer Studios in Sanford, FL. The album is due for release on April 20th. 

Here is the track listing for AN EXAMINATION OF BEING:

01. The Concept of Our Extinction
02. The Scriptures of Purification
03. Lies Upon the Lips of Judas
04. This Mortal Journey
05. ...In the Mirror
06. An Examination of Being
07. Conduits to Eternity
08. A Portal to Rapture
09. A Betrayal of Self

ORDER OF ENNEAD lead guitarist John Li comments: "So what can I say about this new album? In my honest opinion, it's much heavier and darker than our self-titled debut, more cohesive, thematic, melodic, but not completely over the top. In a nutshell, the works. To me, the songs sound totally different than the demos and I was blown away after the songs began to take form. They sound BIG."
