ENFORCER SHOOTS MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'MIDNIGHT VICE'

Swedish heavy metallers ENFORCER have finished filming a new music video for the song 'Midnight Vice' in Stockholm, Sweden.

ENFORCER shot the video with famed director PATRIC ULLAEUS (DIMMU BORGIR, IN FLAMES, SONIC SYNDICATE).  The video sees the band doing what they do best - rocking out in a typical Swedish bar and around the city of Stockholm.

The track 'Midnight Vice' is taken from the band's new album, DIAMONDS.  The video will be released in the next few weeks.

ENFORCER drummer JONAS WIKSTRAND comments:

"We finally finished the shooting of the video, after planning this for months.  All of us had pain in our necks after one day of shooting from giving everything during our performances in the studio.  I have a really good feeling about the video and I think it's gonna be killer.

"Working with Patric, who's made tons of videos during the last decades with huge success, has been a great experience.  He's very professional and talented and I believe he's gonna make us look good.  I hope the video's gonna be out soon so YOU can see it!

"Now, I'm looking forward to coming to see you on our upcoming tour with Airbourne!  Stay tuned for more!"

THE SOULLESS TO BEGIN RECORDING NEW ALBUM IN DECEMBER

British melodic death metallers THE SOULLESS, who recently changed their name from IGNOMINIOUS INCARCERATION, will begin recording their new album on December 15th.

THE SOULLESS will be entering Outhouse Studios in Reading, England on December 15th with producer JOHN MITCHELL (ARCHITECTS, FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, ENTER SHIKARI) and will be recording through until January 2011.

The follow-up to the band's 2009 debut album, OF WINTER BORN, is due to be released on Earache Records in April 2011.

THE SOULLESS frontman ANDY WARDLE comments:

"We couldn't be more excited about going into the studio.  We were supposed to be going in in September, but because of the accident it had to be put back.  So we've been waiting a long time to get in there!  We have used our time well, however, to really tweak all the tracks and we are very happy with the result.  We are also looking forward to working with the guys at Outhouse as we think they can really deliver the sound we want for this album.

"Everything we do will be recorded and so expect in-depth video updates of the recording process, showing clips of new material.  We will also be putting up a video before we enter, showing our writing process and talking more extensively about the new style of music.  Keep checking the updates and be excited!"

THE SOULLESS recently released a brand new pre-production track to give fans a taste of the new material.  Listen to the new track, "Earthbound", now on the band's MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/wearethesoulless

THE BOY WILL DROWN COMPLETE SECOND LEG OF EUROPEAN TOUR, POST UPDATE

British technical death metallers THE BOY WILL DROWN are currently on the road in Europe and have completed the second leg of their headlining European tour.

THE BOY WILL DROWN have just finished the second run of shows, which saw them perform throughout mainland Europe with support from FORGETTOFORGIVE.  The band is returning to the UK for the final leg of the tour, which includes some rescheduled shows.

THE BOY WILL DROWN update from the road:

"We've had an amazing time with FORGETTOFORGIVE and we all left as good friends!  They're an amazing band and amazing people so we certainly recommend people check 'em out.  Great shows were played and more awesome sights were seen.  Waking up to the sunny view of the Swiss Alps is something none of us, I think, will ever forget.  Makes all the problems we've experienced on tour seem insignificant.

"We also say bye to our good mate Ryan Mason; we got some awesome footage, photos and good times!  Currently being edited so updates will be available and floating about soon.  It was an absolute pleasure to have him onboard and we'll hopefully be seeing him on future tours soon for more of his 'Painting & Decorating' skills!

"After a few days rest at home, we're now on the final leg of the tour, this time with Eradication.  A few changes have been made to the schedule."

GAMA BOMB KICK OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR THIS SATURDAY

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB are gearing up for their first ever North American tour, which kicks off this Saturday, October 23rd in Seattle, Washington.

GAMA BOMB will be tearing around the USA and Canada with the likes of OVERKILL, FORBIDDEN, EVILE, BONDED BY BLOOD and DRI, and will be out on the road until just before Christmas.

GAMA BOMB frontman PHILLY BYRNE reveals how the band has been preparing for such a huge tour so far away:

"Speaking to embassy people through bullet-proof glass; working out how long a pair of underpants can be made to last; factoring in strepped throat, voltage converters and flu pills: just some of the work that has gone into bringing GAMA BOMB to North America this winter.  Dollars feel more like money than Euro - they're thicker and crunch up nicely.  We won't be seeing too many of them over the next few months, but we're jonesing to get to the US and begin the tour to end all tours.

"If you're reading this and are in a good mood, please bring us some real moonshine, hooch or bath tub white lightning (test it first for potability - we can't afford to go blind) or failing that your local beer.  We intend to drink America."

WOODS OF YPRES SIGNS WORLDWIDE DEAL WITH EARACHE RECORDS

EARACHE RECORDS is proud to announce the worldwide signing of the Canadian cult metal act, WOODS OF YPRES. Formed in 2002, WOODS OF YPRES have earned critical acclaim for their ever-evolving, envelope-pushing mix of blackened doom metal. Most often compared to bands such as AGALLOCH and TYPE O NEGATIVE, WOODS OF YPRES toe a thin line between the catchy, the artistic and the extreme to create an unmistakable signature sound.

With this signing comes controversy. As many may know, WOODS OF YPRES had previously announced that they were disbanding so why would EARACHE sign a defunct act? Truth is, the band never really broke up to begin with. Let frontman, David Gold explain his side of things:

"After 8 long years of pushing forward, recording five albums and going on multiple tours as an independent band, we are very proud to announce that we have finally signed WOODS OF YPRES to Earache Records. To address the rumors (some that we ran with and some that we started ourselves), WOODS OF YPRES never actually broke up/disbanded/quit/ended, at all. Allow me to explain.

We just released the massive W4: The GREEN Album late last year (not even a year ago yet!), toured North America this past summer and then in August, we recorded our fifth album, Woods 5: "You Were the Light".  We've always been gluttons for pain and punishment in this band, and we've put ourselves through some hellishly busy years while keeping this band alive (not even considering all the side projects the guys and I have done during the same time!). Being the black and 'true doom' artists that we are, we simply couldn't resist the urge to take advantage of the opportunity to experiment with the drama and reaction to the news that we finally, unexpectedly and mysteriously decided to give up after all this time, after all that momentum, after coming this far. 

Putting an end to WOODS OF YPRES, after all it's been through, would be the saddest and most unfair thing we could ever do to this band and our supporters. I also think it was important for us, the band, to imagine and realize how it would feel, if it were true, if we did decide to finally call it quits when things were just starting to happen.  Offering the news of our demise was also the most satisfying false sense of temporary satisfaction we could possibly give to our many haters who've been hoping that we'd finally quit for years, of whose lost spirits we can now continue to crush with the announcement of our signing to the mighty Earache Records! 

So WOODS OF YPRES never broke up, and we are in fact, finally, stronger than ever.  However, at the end of August of this year, I did move to Kuwait for work.  I am here now, in the desert, working.  When I come home (maybe sooner than expected), we will finally have the opportunity for a fresh start for a new era of the band and a redefinition of the WOODS OF YPRES sound!  W5 is the end of our "indy" career and also the start of our "pro" career with Earache.  The opportunity to write and record W6 in collaboration with Earache is the most exciting opportunity this band has ever had and I can already say that it will be our finest work.  In the meantime, we intend to tour, hard, everywhere!  Contact your local promoters and tell them to bring us to town!  This band will never quit.  All the best is still yet to come.  On behalf of the band, Evan, Shane and Joel, thank you for all your kind wishes of congratulations now, and especially for all your support and encouragement throughout these last eight years!  More news soon!  DG - \w/"


WOODS 5 and reissues of their entire catalogue will be out on EARACHE RECORDS in 2011.

WOODS OF YPRES is:

David Gold - Vocals/Guitar
Evan Madden - Drums
Shane Madden - Bass
Joel Violette - Lead Guitar

THE BOY WILL DROWN POSTS EUROPEAN TOUR UPDATE

British technical death metallers THE BOY WILL DROWN are currently on the road in Europe on a headlining tour.

The band, who also recently announced a 2011 European tour, are playing with support from bands including WRECK OF THE MINOTAUR, FORGETTOFORGIVE and ERADICATION.

THE BOY WILL DROWN update from the road:

"Level 1 complete!  We've played some wicked shows up and down the UK from London to Edinburgh and met some awesome and memorable people.  Grimsby in particular was perhaps one of the most surreal experiences when we met someone who had the TBWD 'Fetish' album artwork tattooed on his upper arm (viewable on our Tumblr page) which gave us very much a proud feeling.

"In addition, The Boy Will Drown are pleased to announce that Ryan Mason (www.ryanmasonimaging.com) will be joining the band on tour around Europe over the next ten days.  Ryan, a freelance professional photographer based in Norwich, will be documenting the tour with video and photo footage, as well as being the band's bitch by providing the band with other 'services'!  The 24-year old, who has recently worked with the likes of Paramore, Cancer Bats and photographed at both Download and Reading festivals, thought the next best step to further his career would clearly be to document The Boy Will Drown on tour!"

BONDED BY BLOOD BLOG ABOUT THEIR TOUR ON SKULLSNBONES.COM

When not making heads bang nightly, BONDED BY BLOOD have been detailing all of their tour experiences on a tour blog exclusively at SkullsNBones.com. In their latest installment, the band details 3 Texas shows that saw the band playing video games in their van, having meetings with BBQ ribs and playing surprise festivals:

"Today was a bit of a shocker! We played at the Ridglea Theater in Ft. Worth Texas with Cattle Decapitation and Devourment. What happened was that two tours combined into one big ass gig. There was 11 bands total that played I believe, it was a huge package - "that's what she said"

We played a shorter set than usual due to the obvious time constraints of having so many bands packed into one bill but it was pretty cool. This was most definitely not our crowd and at moments I felt lost in a crowd full of kids decorated in large ear piercings, tattoos, and colorful band t shirts or whom I've never heard of before. We went on 6th and the previous bands were all death core bands so we knew we were going to sound completely out of place, we didn't give two shits tho and went up there and did our thing. I am happy to say that up to that point we were the first band to get the crowd moving. We had a few fans in the crowd and they started the pit for us, thank you!"
