THE BROWNING RELEASE BRAND NEW TRACK FROM BURN THIS WORLD

Electronic metal act THE BROWNING have unleashed a new track, "Not Alone," available for listening today!

"Not Alone" is the first song to be released off the band’s debut on Earache Records, BURN THIS WORLD, due to hit North America on October 4th and Europe on October 3rd.

Head over to the bands Facebook page to listen to the new track now: http://www.facebook.com/TheBrowningOfficial

THE BROWNING'S music takes influences from all across the metal spectrum and heavily fuses EBM, hardstyle, trance and other areas of electronic music in a way that most metal acts would not dare attempt. The band pushes boundaries and pushes buttons. THE BROWNING just wrapped up their successful "Get Nude & Tattooed" tour and are ready to hit the road again on the first ever METAL, ARISE tour. The madness starts on August 9 in the band's hometown of Dallas, Texas.

THE BROWNING's Jonny McAbee  comments:

"With our new album "Burn This World", we wanted to push our electronics and metal to a level that hasn't been done before. Releasing "Not Alone" first is perfect because it shows how aggressive this album is, how our music has progressed, and how much our electronics have evolved."

EVILE: "FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH" ALBUM PREVIEW AVAILABLE

British thrashers EVILE are due to release their highly anticipated new album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH, on September 26th.

A 15-minute preview of FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH, featuring one-and-a-half minutes of each song from the album, is available to listen to now at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np5HFxA3U4s

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments:

"I was delighted to hear iTunes upped their track preview length to 1:30, but everyone doesn't have iTunes.  A fan of ours, Austin H, put all the previews into one video on YouTube.  I support people 'trying before buying' so I'd love to let people know these previews exist to give you an idea of the album instead of downloading the album in time to come - after all, when people download an album, they more often than not say it's to 'try the album out', so I see this as quite a fair compromise to condone the previews being heard by everyone.  I'm not wholly against downloading, I'm more against the disrespect shown to artists by downloading an artist's work, liking it and not rightly paying for it.  Bands these days, not just Evile, need their fans' support.  Support music!"

FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH is EVILE's third full-length release and was once again recorded with producer RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK.

UK fans can pre-order FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH now with free bonus collectible items:

THE BROWNING: 'TIME WILL TELL' HARDSTYLE REMIX AVAILABLE ON YOUTUBE

Texan electronic metal act THE BROWNING are preparing for the release of their debut album, titled BURN THIS WORLD, which is due to hit stores on October 3rd in Europe and October 4th in North America.

In line with THE BROWNING's electronic elements, one of the band's fan-favourite tracks, "Time Will Tell" - which was featured on a recent digital EP and has been re-recorded for the new album - has been remixed by internationally acclaimed Scottish DJ and music producer SCOTT BROWN.

Listen to the track now at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcAudvhA8Hs

THE BROWNING frontman JONNY MCBEE comments:

"The Browning fuses hardstyle and metal because they are both aggressive, hard-hitting styles of music.  Working with a well-known master of hardstyle was something I always wanted!  I used to listen to Scott Brown back in the day and to have him doing an amazing remix of my band's music was monumental!  Scott Brown creates the hard-hitting techno that I have always loved and people like him are what inspired this band in the first place!"

"Time Will Tell (Scott Brown Hardstyle Mix)" is included as one of two exclusive bonus tracks on the iTunes version of BURN THIS WORLD.  Pre-order the new album now on iTunes in Europe at http://bit.ly/rexqm9 or in North America at http://bit.ly/mVeAHb

CEREBRAL BORE ARRESTED BY NYPD IN DRUG STORE KILLER HUNT

Two members of Scottish death metal act CEREBRAL BORE were mistakenly arrested in New York City recently amidst the hunt for a man who murdered a number of people at a drug store.

The band had been out celebrating the end of their tour when guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE and bassist KYLE RUTHERFORD went to a drug store in the early morning hours.  Although the store's doors were open and the lights were on, it appeared that it was not officially open for business as an alarm went off, so the band members left and went to another store down the road.  As they were leaving, a number of NYPD squad cars surrounded them and they were thrown to the ground by police officers and arrested at gunpoint.  The two were charged with criminal trespass, petit larceny, burglary and criminal possession of stolen property.

MCGUIRE and RUTHERFORD spent the next 36 hours being moved between crowded jail cells and witnessing violence and intimidation from the other inmates.  The real drug store killer was later arrested and, following a court appearance, all charges were dropped and the members of CEREBRAL BORE were eventually released.

Watch a video of CEREBRAL BORE guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE and bassist KYLE RUTHERFORD discussing their harrowing experience at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCIpVmjxDIM

Despite the band's ordeal at the end of their trip, the rest of the tour was a success and the band are keen to return to the USA as soon as possible.

Guitarist PAUL MCGUIRE comments:

"Our latest trip to the US was possibly the most fun we've ever had on tour!  The shows were great and the hospitality shown throughout the tour was second to none!  Besides the problems that occurred in New York at the end, the tour went without incident and was smooth as could be!  Fresh off the plane from Cancun, still celebrating three blinding shows in Mexico, we were hours away from boarding the plane home when we had our run-in with the NYPD in Brooklyn on the last morning.

"It was a hell of an ordeal, but it has only made me more eager to get Cerebral Bore back to the US, considering how long we went thinking that we may never get to tour the US again!  But we are home now and gearing up for the second part of the year, and getting ready for our upcoming appearance at Bloodstock, as well as the trips to India and Ukraine, and a solid batch of work on album number two!"

EVILE REVEAL "FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH" ALBUM COVER

British thrashers EVILE are due to release their highly-anticipated new album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH, on September 26th.

The new album is EVILE's third full-length release and was once again recorded with producer RUSS RUSSELL (NAPALM DEATH, DIMMU BORGIR) at Parlour Studios in Kettering, UK.

EVILE vocalist and rhythm guitarist MATT DRAKE discusses the new album cover:

"So here it is, the artwork for Five Serpent's Teeth.  As is always the case with Evile, we try and do things a bit differently from what we've done before, so we fancied something a bit more design-orientated this time around.  It's been done by a great artist by the name of Gustavo Sazes and he really came through for us as we were struggling to find something that visually accompanied the music, so hats off to the man!  Make what you will of any meaning you think the cover may hold, much the same as you will be able to do with the lyrical content of the album; we know what it means to us, so enjoy!"

View the FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH album cover at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/evile_fst.jpg

A brand new EVILE t-shirt featuring the incredible new artwork is available to pre-order now in Europe at http://bit.ly/o8scrZ and in North America at http://bit.ly/qK1GjW

THE BROWNING: "IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT ELECTRONICS WOULD CREEP INTO METAL"

Dallas, Texas electronic deathcore act THE BROWNING have just wrapped up a US tour with LIKE MOTHS TO FLAMES and are now looking ahead to the release of the band's debut album.

THE BROWNING drummer NOAH "SHARK" ROBERTSON took some time out to speak about the band's unique fusion of metal and electronic music:

"It was inevitable that electronics would creep into metal, simply because you cannot ignore the natural evolution of technology.  I mean, since the phonograph was invented back in the 1800s, we've seen a constant and relentless progression of recording technology and eventually electronic music and its incorporation into various genres, not just metal.  It just makes sense!  Computers have become more and more accessible and music software has advanced to astronomical heights.  Lately, the metal world has seen increasing numbers of artists incorporating various synths, keyboards, and programmed computer parts into their music and it was only a matter of time before a band like The Browning came along to show the extreme music world where metal and electronics could go.

"Jonny McBee, the vocalist and founder of the band, is truly a musical genius in my opinion when it comes to layering keyboard parts and programming synths into the music.  The techno and hardstyle compositions he creates are intended to be the main focal point of the band, and the other instruments merely provide a backbone for the electronics to stand on.  That's not to say that the metal doesn't stand on its own though as well.  People have called us everything from DeathTronica, ElectroDeath and CyberGrind to RaveCore, TechnoCore and TranceCore, but one thing remains certain - The Browning will be here for a long, long time and we will continue to push the envelope!"

THE BROWNING's as-yet untitled debut album was recorded with producer JOSH SCHROEDER (BENEATH THE SKY, LEGEND, A PLEA FOR PURGING, SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY) at Random Awesome Studios in Bay City, Michigan, and mixed by CAMERON MIZELL (I SEE STARS, WOE IS ME, SLEEPING WITH SIRENS).  The album is due to be released on October 3rd on Earache Records.
