CEREBRAL BORE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR STARTS TONIGHT

Scottish death metallers CEREBRAL BORE are due to kick off their North American tour tonight, May 31st, in New York City.

The band's debut album, MANIACAL MISCREATION, has just been released in Europe and is due to be released in North America on June 7th, while the band are on the road.

CEREBRAL BORE guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE comments:

"The excitement is definitely starting to build within the band.  We have always looked back on our US tour of 2008 with great pride.  That tour was so much fun because we booked it ourselves and jumped in at the deep end, and although no one knew who we were, we still went out and gave it our all every night as the opening band for bands like Devourment, Condemned and Inherit Disease.

"So this time, to go back fully-loaded with a full-length album, a solid line-up, a crushing live show and a fan base is pretty much living out the dream of what we wanted so badly from the 2008 tour.  Because I also booked this tour myself, I have been able to pack our schedule full of sightseeing trips, like the Grand Canyon, Area 51, Hollywood and Dimebag's grave, so it's sure to be one to tell the grand kids about."

WOODS OF YPRES POST NEW TOUR BLOG ON METALSUCKS, VIDEO AVAILABLE

Canadian blackened doom metallers WOODS OF YPRES are on the road in North America for their headlining "Pain & Piss" tour, and are taking fans along for the ride with a series of exclusive tour blogs on MetalSucks.

Now half-way through their month-long trek, the group's bassist, SHANE MADDEN, has posted the second part of the tour blog on MetalSucks.

An excerpt from the new blog follows:

"I really hope that isn't my appendix.  Sudden, inexplicable pain on the road makes you realize it would be an especially inconvenient time to have an organ burst.  Also, I think the drummer has gangrene.  Poison ivy is devouring his right arm at an exponential rate every day and it just doesn't look right.  We're two weeks into this weird trip and no one is falling apart on death's door quite yet, but there have been enough figurative assaults on the organs of the tour machine already.  The Midwest is an unforgiving place for what we're doing."

LAWNMOWER DETH CONFIRMED FOR UK'S BLOODSTOCK FESTIVAL

British madcap thrashers LAWNMOWER DETH have been confirmed for this year's edition of Bloodstock Open Air festival in the UK.

LAWNMOWER DETH were active in the late '80s and early '90s, before reforming in 2008.  The band has since played a number of shows, including performances at Download festival and Damnation Festival.

LAWNMOWER DETH are due to headline the Sophie Lancaster stage at Bloodstock on Friday, 12th August.

LAWNMOWER DETH frontman PETE "QUALCAST MUTILATOR" LEE comments:

"Bloodstock 2011.  Yeah, this is going to work on several levels.  First and foremost, a long and overdue chance to play to the bearded masses.  Never in the history of festivals has one had a reputation for spouting so much facial choppery; I can only hope that Flymo's fluff is enough to keep 'em happy.  It's going to be one big facial love in.  Secondly, it's free tickets for Motorbonce, so we're chuffed.  And thirdly, the opportunity to headline the Sophie stage was just too good.  Her abhorrent murder in 2007 is even more pertinent for me, it was only 10 miles from where I live.  If the memory of Sophie on this stage can breed just a little open-mindedness and tolerance then the world is a better place.  See you in the pit, beardy weirdies."

For more Bloodstock information, head to http://www.bloodstock.uk.com

LAWNMOWER DETH are also due to perform this Saturday, 28th May at Redemption in Derby.  Joining them will be EVIL SCARECROW, VIRUS and more.  Tickets are available now at http://www.ticketline.co.uk/artist/lawnmower-deth-alldayer

RIVAL SONS HIT THE ROAD FOR SOUTHERN U.S. SHOWS

Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS are on the road for a number of Southern US shows.

RIVAL SONS are kicking off their string of Southern shows with a performance at Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama, this Saturday, May 21st.  RIVAL SONS will be performing on the main stage along with such artists as FOO FIGHTERS, THE FLAMING LIPS, MOTORHEAD, PRIMUS and more.

RIVAL SONS drummer MICHAEL MILEY comments:

"Ya!  We are on our way to Gulf Shores, Alabama, as we speak, for the Hangout Fest.  It's been an adventure already, having locked our keys in the van (um, Scott) with a friendly young, able and willing Texan gentleman devising his own slim jim to "unlock" our vehicle after about 2 gallons of water spilling on our bed and electrical inverter, shorting it out.

"Last night we rolled up to the Mule in Fort Worth where Josh Weathers was playing (with whom we're playing next Thursday at Wild Rooster in Fort Worth) and had a beer or three.  This run of southern dates is great cuz it allows us to obviously connect with our southern fans but also to prepare for the crazy European summer we have ahead of us.  With the new album coming out as well and the single/video for 'Pressure and Time', we have a lot on our plates but we're so pumped for European invasion and loving the loads of support we're getting from Earache and our team at home.  We can't do this alone!"

NAPALM DEATH FRONTMAN PERFORMS GUEST VOCALS ON NEW SSS ALBUM

British crossover thrashers SSS have revealed that NAPALM DEATH frontman BARNEY GREENWAY will appear as a guest vocalist on the band's forthcoming new album, titled PROBLEMS TO THE ANSWER.

GREENWAY performs guest vocals on the tracks "The Kill Floor", "Here Comes The Neighbourhood" and "Roar".  PROBLEMS TO THE ANSWER is due to be released in Europe on June 6th and in North America on July 12th.

NAPALM DEATH frontman BARNEY GREENWAY comments on his guest appearance:

"Foxy really knows his musical onions and when he had some parts for me to do, I knew it was going to be a gas.  The main part had a Discharge-y feel to it, so I was sold on that instantly.  Went in, shouted, went home.  No fucking about.  Good stuff."

SSS frontman FOXY comments:

"Barney was on a shortlist of one - it was him or no one.  Knew he'd be into the direction of our latest musical outing and the stance the songs take were right up his street.  Some serious barking was required and his dulcet tones didn't disappoint."

View a photo of BARNEY GREENWAY with SSS frontman FOXY and bassist MARK MAGILL at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/sss_barney_nd.jpg

PROBLEMS TO THE ANSWER features 25 of the most vicious, snarling, hardcore punk/metal tracks.  View the album artwork at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/sss_problemsart.jpg

EVILE GUITARIST SHOWS YOU HOW TO PLAY THE BAND'S SONGS

OL DRAKE, lead guitarist for British thrashers EVILE, has created a number of instructional guitar videos, showing fans how to play some of the band's most well-known tracks.

OL DRAKE comments:

"I get a lot of people asking me to tab out Evile songs, but I don't have the time.  This led me to take a look at the guitar tabs that were up online.  I love that people have taken the time to tab our songs out, but there are mistakes, so I thought why not show people all the little details that are always missed.  I don't want to do too many, as I think it's hugely beneficial to spend the time learning things by ear."

GAMA BOMB PREPARE FOR FIRST EVER MEXICAN SHOWS

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB have just finished a UK headlining tour, and are now preparing to head across the Atlantic to Mexico for what will be the band's first ever shows in Latin America.

GAMA BOMB frontman PHILLY BYRNE comments:

"Ever since we graduated from being a garage band to a touring band we've always wanted to go to Latin America; it's one of our major career goals.  We know that Mexican fans have been waiting years to see us over there, so we're only too happy to oblige.  We're just gutted that, this time round at least, we can't make our way down to South America to see everyone there too.  After our UK tour we're sharper than we've ever been live, and are ready to pop people's heads in Mexico."

See GAMA BOMB live in Mexico at the following shows:

May 20 - Puebla, Mexico - Teatro Espacio 1900
May 22 - Ocoyoacac, Mexico - Metal In The Forest Festival

RIVAL SONS 'PRESSURE AND TIME' VIDEO PREMIERES EXCLUSIVELY ON VEVO

Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS have premiered the brand new music video for their incredible new single, 'Pressure and Time', exclusively on VEVO.

RIVAL SONS are the latest group to be featured on music video website VEVO, which is already home to big-name artists ranging from GUNS N' ROSES and BON JOVI to LADY GAGA.

Viewers in the USA, Canada and the UK can see the 'Pressure and Time' featured video by heading to VEVO's homepage at http://www.vevo.com

Whilst VEVO is currently not available in other territories, viewers worldwide can still watch the new video on RIVAL SONS' VEVO channel on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/RivalSonsVEVO

RIVAL SONS drummer MICHAEL MILEY comments on the video:

"I'm so fired up for the release of the 'Pressure and Time' video, which is the first single off our new album.  We filmed this baby in about two days at about 23 different locations.  Though it was fun as hell, loading and unloading 23 times was worse than moving into my apartment!!  We had a blast and ate authentic vegan Mexican food and drank homemade vodka about a mile from the Mexican border.  It was epic!!"

RIVAL SONS bassist ROBIN EVERHART adds:

"Really excited to present this video for 'Pressure and Time'!  Videos in general are a lot of hard work, this one doubley-so.  We were fighting the clock, the elements, the authorities, and our van got stuck in the sand at one of the locations.  Greg, Stephan, Ian and the whole RMS crew did an amazing job with the little time that they had.  Hope you all enjoy 'Pressure and Time', more than we did making it!"

WOODS OF YPRES POST NORTH AMERICAN TOUR UPDATE, VIDEO AVAILABLE

Canadian blackened doom metallers WOODS OF YPRES are on the road in North America after kicking off a headlining tour last week.

The month-long "Pain & Piss" tour will see the band trekking around the USA and Canada following the recent re-release of the band's latest album, WOODS 4: THE GREEN ALBUM.

Watch the band's first tour update video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yuhOUZV6sk

WOODS OF YPRES frontman DAVID GOLD comments:

"Writing to you from a murder motel in Western Pennsylvania where we're pounding Polish vodka and editing tour videos until 4am EST...  We're back on the road again already this year, further supporting the release of W4: The Green Album in North America!  The PAIN & PISS Tour (because that's what tour really is, for us, referencing the chorus of our song "Wet Leather") will have us playing 34 shows in 37 days, covering Eastern USA, Western Canada, and a counter-clockwise DOOM-loop of the coast of the good ol' US of A.

"The new setlist includes a little of almost everything!  W4: The Green Album songs, some classic WOODS OF YPRES black metal from 2002's "Against the Seasons: Cold Winter Songs from the Dead Summer Heat", half of the "Summer Black Metal" from 2004's "Pursuit of the Sun & Allure of the Earth" and even a track from our fresh new Woods IV.5 "home" 7-inch vinyl release!  The only album we're not playing songs from is the cold and bleak "WIII: Deepest Roots & Darkest Blues" which is simply out of season and hard to incorporate into a summer tour of the hot and hotter USA (but catch those "Northern Cold" songs again on tours this fall and winter, already in the works!).

"As soon as we get off the road in June, we go back into full-time writing mode and then into the studio this August to record the next WOODS OF YPRES full-length: "Woods 5".  More details soon!"

WOODS OF YPRES guitarist JOEL VIOLETTE adds:

"Hey everyone, how's it going?  We're going strong here on day 7 of our 38-day North American tour.  The dates with Novembers Doom, Gwynbleidd, and GDZ this weekend were awesome, and it was an honour to share the stage with those guys!  Now tonight we're hard at work carving up the first v-log from this tour.  Tomorrow we hit the Motor City, hard!  See you on tour!"

Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS are among the latest bands to be confirmed for this year's UK edition of Sonisphere, which takes place in Knebworth from 8th - 10th July.

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:

"We are absolutely honored and excited to be included on this year's Sonisphere...  Easily one of the heaviest of festivals.  This is a total opportunity for us to play with a ton of bands we really dig that we normally would never get a chance to share a bill with.  Bands like: the BIG 4!!!  Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth...  Rad...  Total kings of metal.  Motörhead?!!  Forget about it!  Legendary.  We're all really big fans of the Mars Volta too...  Looking forward to seeing them.

"This festival will be a real treat following our stint with Judas Priest.  We will be sure to bring the metal mayhem to our brand of 'maximum soul, fuzz box, blues-explosion rock n' roll'!"

EVILE REVEAL NEW ALBUM TITLE AND CONCEPT

British thrashers EVILE have officially revealed that their forthcoming new album will be titled FIVE SERPENTS' TEETH.

EVILE recorded the highly-anticipated new album at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK, with producer RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR), who also recorded the band's previous release, 2009's INFECTED NATIONS.

EVILE vocalist and rhythm guitarist MATT DRAKE has recorded a video message for the fans, in which he discusses the new album and the concept behind it.

Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tQ-9_AjDSk

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments on FIVE SERPENTS' TEETH:

"The other day, Russ sent the final masters for the album over.  It sounded even better than I expected it to.  The past two years of hard work, and the work put in in the studio, have really paid off.  The few people who've heard the album so far have praised it highly, making me, and us, very proud.  The album has such a unique production sound which surprised me; Russ' skills have really shined on this record.  It has an old classic sound, while staying huge and menacing.  Keep an eye out for all things Evile, as 2011 will be a very busy year for us.  See you on A road!"

FIVE SERPENTS' TEETH is due to be released on Earache Records on August 29th.

"We've taken these past few months to really analyze what we could improve on as a band, and we decided that in order to take our live show to a new level, we needed to add a second guitar player to thicken up our sound.  Mario is the perfect guy to fill that spot, and we can't wait to tour and give fans the strongest live show possible."

DIAMOND PLATE recently finished recording their debut album, GENERATION WHY?, with producer NEIL KERNON (JUDAS PRIEST, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD) at RaxTrax Studios in the band's hometown of Chicago, Illinois.

GENERATION WHY? is due to be released later this year on Earache Records.

DIAMOND PLATE are a young, dynamic band who have taken the midwest metal scene by storm.  Formed in 2008, the high-energy act has already earned high honours from respected outlets such as Terrorizer magazine, which named DIAMOND PLATE as one of the "Best Unsigned Bands" in the very year that the group first got together.
