MUNICIPAL WASTE CONFIRM POMONA SHOW WITH CIRCLE JERKS

Virginian crossover kings MUNICIPAL WASTE have been confirmed to play a
one-off show in Pomona, California with influential punk bands CIRCLE JERKS
and 7-SECONDS.

MUNICIPAL WASTE will be joining CIRCLE JERKS, along with 7-SECONDS and
CEREMONY, at the special event at the Fox Theater in Pomona. Tickets cost
just $15 and are available now from Ticketmaster, or at Headliner Records in
Hollywood and Glasshouse Record Store in Pomona.

MUNICIPAL WASTE frontman TONY FORESTA comments:

"I'm really excited to be playing with two bands that have been such a huge
influence to me. Honestly, if I wasn't playing this show I would have
bought tickets and flown out here to see these guys share the stage.
Especially in Pomona! That was one of the craziest shows on our At The
Gates tour and I can't wait to come back. I'm also a big fan of Ceremony as
well, so this looks likely to be one of my gig highlights of the year!"

ANNIHILATOR'S JEFF WATERS INTERVIEWED BY EPIPHONE; VIDEO AVAILABLE

JEFF WATERS, guitarist and founding member of Canadian thrash metal pioneers
ANNIHILATOR, has been interviewed by guitar manufacturers Epiphone about his
illustrious career and his new Epiphone Annihilation-V signature model
guitar.

JEFF WATERS is widely recognised as one of the most influential metal
guitarists of all time, and was ranked third in Joel McIver's 2009 book,
"The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists".

Read part of the interview below for JEFF's tips on gear and playing:

EPI: Any advice for younger players trying to find their way?

JEFF: Listen to LOTS of guitar players in lots of styles of music. For young
musicians, practice the song Chemical Warfare by Slayer, Creeping Death and
anything off of Puppets/Kill 'Em All. That will get your rhythm hand fast
and tight. For solos, try to listen to as many metal guitar players as
possible... Listen to the '80s players to get more of an original influence.
The '80s were the time when the greats were producing brilliance! Also, on a
personal note, stay away from alcohol, drugs and cigarettes... If you want a
long career... Or a long life! These days, to have a career at all means
that you need to learn the business and take care of your business; you
cannot do this if you are cloudy in the mind or dying from lung disease.

EPI: Any advice on gear?

JEFF: Just have fun and try lots of things out at your local music store. As
far as amps... If you have some money, try the Hughes and Kettner Coreblade.
If you don¹t, there are a lot of good, lower-priced amps out there. I will
say though... My new Epiphone Annihilation-V is very reasonably priced. It
took me 2 years to design and create it with Epiphone because we wanted the
best guitar possible at an incredible value.

EPI: How close are the production models to what you play?

JEFF: The same guitars you can buy in the music store are the EXACT same
guitars I use live. No other company I know has done this, at this price
level.

EPI: 2 years is a long time developing the Jeff Waters Annihilation-V
Signature model. How do you think it came out?

JEFF: Fantastic! I could ramble on about how great the guitar is but I think
the best way to answer this is to simply see the video that is on the
Epiphone web site... That will speak for itself. You must see it to
understand what I mean!

Read the full interview at http://www.epiphone.com/news.asp?NewsID=1814

Check out video footage of JEFF WATERS demonstrating his new Epiphone
Annihilation-V guitar at http://vimeo.com/10176507

You can also hear a sound clip from ANNIHILATOR's upcoming, self-titled
album at the Hughes & Kettner website at http://www.coreblade.net/home.html

'ANNIHILATOR' is the band's thirteenth studio album and features ten tracks
of heads-down, no-frills metal, including a cover of VAN HALEN's song,
"Romeo Delight". The album is due to be released in Europe by Earache
Records on 17th May.

ENFORCER PREVIEWS TRACK FROM "DIAMONDS"

Swedish heavy metal powerhouse ENFORCER return with their highly anticipated
sophomore album, entitled "Diamonds", to be released in Europe by Earache
Records on May 24th and the rest of the world on Heavy Artillery Records on
May 25th. For a taste of what they can expect from the upcoming album, fans
can preview the track ³Midnight Vice² in its entirety at:

http://www.myspace.com/heavyartilleryrecords

"Diamonds" picks up where its predecessor left off; with a pure old school
heavy metal album of the highest caliber, this time showcasing a broader
range of talent and metal influences highlighted by the production wizardry
of renowned Swedish producer Rikard Lofgren.

With the release of their debut album "Into the Night" in November 2008,
ENFORCER kicked open the floodgates for the return of traditional heavy
metal, paving the way for many other young bands to follow. With critical
acclaim pouring in from fans and the international music press, ENFORCER
wasted no time taking their show to the road for their first European and
American tours as well as a litany of appearances at many of Europe's most
highly regarded festivals.

After the release of their debut album, many fans and critics were left
wondering if ENFORCER could ever top or even equal their work on Into the
Night. Proving themselves more than up to the challenge, ENFORCER emerged
from the studio in February 2010 with their latest metal masterpiece, aptly
entitled "Diamonds". ENFORCER will be embarking on ³The Power of Metal Tour²
in Europe with Steel Wing and Cauldron from May 1st to May 15th.

Catch them live at the following shows:

ENFORCER w/ SUICIDAL ANGELS, STEELWING, CAULDRON
01.05.2010 Regensburg, Germany - Boiler Room
02.05.2010 Terneuzen, Netherlands - The Pit

Detroit death metallers, AND FOLLOWED WITH have launched a fully redesigned MySpace page featuring artwork (created by GodMachine) from their upcoming EARACHE debut, PROPRIOCEPTION. Guitarist, Kyle Mcilmurray comments, "We're extremely pleased with how GodMachine's artwork came together with the MySpace Layout that Daniel Mcbride made."

To celebrate the relaunch of their MySpace page, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH have premiered a BRAND NEW track from PROPRIOCEPTION. Entitled "VenomSpitter," this song is a massive slab of heaviness that hits like a ton of bricks from the onset and never lets up.  A song about overcoming addiction, according to Kyle, "VenomSpitter" is "a good representation of what the rest of Proprioception is. Fast, crushing, and unrelenting."

You can hear "VenomSpitter," the first released track from AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH's EARACHE debut, PROPRIOCEPTION on their newly revamped MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/andhellfollowedwith

ANNIHILATOR'S JEFF WATERS DISCUSSES NEW ALBUM ARTWORK

Canadian thrash metal pioneers ANNIHILATOR have revealed the artwork for
their upcoming new album.

ANNIHILATOR's new, self-titled release is the band's thirteenth studio album
and is due to be released in Europe by Earache Records on 17th May.

ANNIHILATOR guitarist and mainman JEFF WATERS discusses the artwork:

"The new Annihilator CD cover art was, again, done by the great Gyula
Havancsák (http://www.hjules.com). He has done the art for the last 4
Annihilator studio releases, as well as the 'Ten Years in Hell' DVD.

"The concept was mine and came to me in a dream (more like a nightmare) and
seems to be 'Alice' (Alison Hell), returned from the grave!

"Musically, the new CD ended up being far more aggressive than expected;
thus, the new CD cover seems to compliment the songs perfectly."

Check out the cover art for 'ANNIHILATOR' at
http://earacherecords.com/myspace/annihilatorcover.jpg

'ANNIHILATOR' is set to feature ten tracks of heads-down, no-frills metal,
and is sure to be a highlight in the band's already-impressive catalogue.
The official track listing is as follows:

01. The Trend
02. Coward
03. Ambush
04. Betrayed
05. 25 Seconds
06. Nowhere To Go
07. The Other Side
08. Death In Your Eyes
09. Payback
10. Romeo Delight

show us what sort of an impact giving the album away for free has made. We

WHITE WIZZARD COMMENT ON UPCOMING UK TOUR

WHITE WIZZARD COMMENT ON UPCOMING UK TOUR

Los Angeles traditional heavy metal band WHITE WIZZARD have shared their
thoughts on the upcoming UK tour, taking in this weekend's 3pm "Stage Two -
Hammer Hounds Part I" Saturday slot at Hammerfest II and supporting EDGUY.

Lead singer Wyatt 'Screamin' Demon' Anderson said:
"I'm really excited about heading over to the U.K, to play Hammerfest and
doing the tour with EDGUY! Can't wait to see some of the bands at Hammerfest
as well, especially ICED EARTH and SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, as I've been a fan
of both for quite a long time! As with EDGUY, I'm really looking forward to
the tour, getting to share the stage with such a great band! So, with that
being said, get ready for the Wizzard to rock your asses off! See you all
in a few days!"

Drummer Giovanni Durst added:
"About Hammerfest we are all hyper excited about it! We are gonna play
Saturday the 13th with bands such as ICED EARTH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES just to
name a few... can't wait to do it!!! Hopefully we won't feel the 9 hours
jet-lag and be like zombies on stage ahahahah I don't think that's gonna
happen anyway! We changed up our set a little since last time in London
adding new songs from the new album 'Over the Top' but hey, if you're
curious about what songs... then come see us at one of our shows. After
Hammerfest we'll tour with EDGUY, starting in Glasgow and ending up in
London March 20th. It's gonna be a blast!!! For me it's like a dream comes

MUNICIPAL WASTE LATIN AMERICAN VENUE CHANGES, TOUR REPORT

MUNICIPAL WASTE have announced venue changes for 2 dates on their current tour of Latin America. The demand to see the band during their first ever run of Latin America has been so intense that promoters have been forced to find bigger venues that could contain the crazed masses coming to FACE THE WASTE.

Here are the updated list of dates:

Mar 10 2010    Barranco Bar--Lima, Peru
Mar 11 2010    Rock Y Guitarras--Santiago, Chile**
Mar 12 2010    Aram Vinhedo--Campinas, Brazil**
Mar 13 2010    Clash Club      --Sao Paulo, Brazil
Mar 14 2010    Teatro Odisseia--Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Mar 15 2010    Drakkar Music Hall--Porto Alegre, Brazil 

**Denotes new venue

MUNICIPAL WASTE
 have been greatly enjoying their time in Latin America. The shows have been some of the most incredible of the band's career and every moment both on and offstage, has been a memorable one. Frontman, Tony Foresta comments on the great times they've experienced so far on their Latin American tour:

"Greetings from Bogotá Columbia! We're about 5 days into our South American
tour and it has been a really fun one. We just finished our 2 gigs in Mexico one of which was with Sacred Reich, Cynic and Dying fetus. That was a really fun time and its is always a good to hang with Phil and the rest of the Sacred Reich dudes. Our show last night in Bogotá was really insane. Kids were jumping off of the balcony and scaffolding. I didn't know whether to sing or just watch the insanity unfold. The crowds here have been really
cool too. They get really rowdy but are very respectable to each other and
the band. So far no one has  fallen into our equipment or done anything
stupid to mess up our show up. Very very cool audiences. It makes it so much more fun to play when its like that.

My favorite thing so far is seeing all of the Waste bootleg shirts that
people make and sell. They are so funny. My favorite shirt was a picture of
me Phil and Ryan chilling with a fan on the back of the shirt (pictured here: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/904/photojbx.jpg). I guess the guy making the shirt thought the fan was Dave and that he was printing a band photo on the back!  It looks hilarious. Also some kids make there own
Waste shirts and  wear them to the gigs. I've seen some really cool ones. I
love it when fans do that.

One bad thing that happened was that Phil got food poisoning on the first
day in Guadalajara. It was really bad. We almost had to cancel our Mexico
City gig. But the promoter called a medic to the show and he gave Phil some
pill that made him feel a bit better. He managed to tough it out and played
a killer set. I've never seen him that sick in my life. It was scary.  What
a trooper. Gotta run. Off to Peru! More adventures to be had!"

Richmond, VA crossover leaders, MUNICIPAL WASTE have announced a small
number of new dates to be played in the Northeast this April. This limited
engagement sees the band going back to their roots and playing more
intimate venues for their most hardcore of fans. Joined by their friends,
TOXIC HOLOCAUST, these shows promise to be prime examples of straight up,
in your face old school aggression. Here are the dates:

Apr 21 The Note West Chester, Pennsylvania
Apr 22 Knitting Factory Brooklyn, New York

ENFORCER SIGN TO EARACHE FOR UK/EUROPE

ENFORCER SIGN TO EARACHE FOR UK AND EUROPE

Swedish heavy metal band ENFORCER have announced their partnership with
Earache Records in the UK and Europe for their forthcoming album Diamonds',
out May 24th.

ENFORCER's charismatic singer Olof Wikstrand states:
"After the great success of 'Into The Night' we now take things a few steps
further with the next album. This time It feels great to have a European
dedicated and hard working label on board. I'm really excited to see what
this end up like and I'm also proud of being a part of Earache."

Dan Tobin, Earache label manager, comments:
"Earache is proud to welcome one of the most exciting new bands on the scene
onto the label's roster. ENFORCER's brand of streetwise heavy metal is as
exciting as anything I've heard from a young band, and we look forward to
helping them take steps towards the big league. 'Diamonds' is a superb way
to start their march to the top."

Influenced as much by the speed metal bands of the late '80s as traditional
NWOBHM and cult Swedish demos, ENFORCER are truly a metal powerhouse.

With 2008's 'Into The Night' earning a deserved entry in Terrorizer
Magazine's Albums Of The Decade Top 100, ENFORCER return with their highly
anticipated sophomore album, 'Diamonds', to be released in Europe by Earache
Records on May 24th and the rest of the world on Heavy Artillery Records on
May 25th. 'Diamonds' picks up where its predecessor left off - one foot
firmly in the past, paying respects to IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST alike,
but augmenting their craft with modern flair and technical wizardry,
highlighted by the production of renowned Swedish producer Rikard Lofgren.

Thanks to their appearance on Earache's 'Heavy Metal Killers' compilation,
ENFORCER kicked open the floodgates for the return of traditional heavy
metal, paving the way for many other young bands to follow. With critical
acclaim pouring in from fans and the international music press, ENFORCER
wasted no time taking their show on the road gaining rabid fans at every
stop, touring across Europe and North America.
