BAND: | Exmortus |  Exmortus are an entity amongst themselves and their music, both complex and thoroughly hook-laden, refuses to lend itself to easy categorization. From their technical death-thrash riffage and surgically precise drumming to their neo-classical, twin virtuoso lead guitar attack, their appeal is vast. Fans of death metal, thrash, prog metal, traditional heavy metal and all true metal sub-genres alike enjoy having their craniums crushed by Exmortus. Now partnered with the quickly-rising New York metal powerhouse Heavy Artillery Records, Exmortus prepare to take their metal domination worldwide with the release of “In Hatred’s Flame” schedu... | |

BAND: | The Showdown |  “It’s not all fun and games, being in a band,” The Showdown’s frontman, David Bunton, begins. “When you start touring, there are real problems that you face -- personal problems, relationship problems, money problems -- and at some point you’ve gotta decide, all right, what are we really committed to here? Are we gonna give in to these outside forces, or are we gonna commit to heavy metal? With this record, there’s no question: We committed to heavy metal.”“This record” is Back Breaker, The Showdown’s third full-length and Solid State Records debut -- and if Bunton’s assessment hasn’t already made it crystal-clear, Back Breaker is als... | |

BAND: | The Human Abstract |  Re-examine what you might call a genre of music, a fashionable style, or a social statement. Rethink what being in a band is all about in the first place. Ego is useless, and in fact, a hindering entity, and we will have no part of it. We seek solace in the focus of music, and share what we've found with anyone who cares to listen. We do not wave flags of religion or creed, or seek pity for failed relationships in our music. We strive to bring pieces of the whole of truth about the inner workings of what it means to be a human being. We are not your parents, teachers, preachers, or government. We do not shield your eyes from things tha... | |

BAND: | Iced Earth |  THE CRUCIBLE OF MAN (SOMETHING WICKED PART 2)“History repeats itself”, explains Jon Schaffer – he sees his current heavy metal sci-fi thriller as a parable about the evolution of humanity with all its faults and obvious failings, its immaturity and missed opportunities. FRAMING ARMAGEDDON (SOMETHING WICKED PART I) which caused a stir around the world last summer now continues with the grand sequel THE CRUCIBLE OF MAN (SOMETHING WICKED PART 2). Whereas in the first part of the story ICED EARTH explored a period spanning 10,000 years using gripping flashbacks, everything now focuses on the last 2000 years right up to the present. The... | |

BAND: | All Shall Perish |  Oakland California’s, ALL SHALL PERISH, returns with their most diverse offering yet! Never one to record the same album twice, ALL SHALL PERISH has made yet another giant leap forward for themselves and the death and grind genres. Awaken the Dreamers cements the band‘s status as leaders in their field after 2006’s milestone release, The Price of Existence, permanently secured the groups place in metal history. In a scene that is fast becoming stale ALL SHALL PERISH is here to resuscitate and breathe new life into a genre full of fly by night successes. Death metal and technical grind have an interesting way of co-existing. While each ge... | |

Lemmy Kilmister, Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell – what you hear is what you get! Lemmy’s enthronement as an Icon of Rock happened a while ago and proves that Rock and Roll is still alive and exhilarating. (On June 16, Lemmy received the Mojo Icon Award.) Fans, new and old, have been worshipping and bowing to Motörhead for over 30 years. Fellow musicians – like Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, The Ramones, Guns N' Roses and Metallica have all payed tribute to the... | |

BAND: | Volbeat |  VOLBEAT is from Copenhagen, Denmark and was formed in October 2001 by Michael Poulsen, who had previously split up the Danish Heavy metal band DOMINUS. During their 10 years of existence Michael Poulsen and DOMINUS released 4 albums.As a Swedish Reporter from SLAVESTATE MAG wrote: METALLICA should have hired VOLBEAT as songwriters for their "Load" and "Re-Load" albums. Others have said: This is ELVIS-metal. In 2002 VOLBEAT release their self-titled debut demo. The response was moderate, and it wasn't until the release of their "Beat the meat" demo from 2003 that things really started happening. Songs from the "Beat the meat" de... | |

BAND: | Feel Never Real |  Feel Never Real has been paying their dues in the Dallas / Ft. Worth scene for nearly 4 years, playing around in various venues, large and small, with a diverse assortment of bands. Each year seems to bring a sharper, crisper change to the band's sound and style. After recently finishing their First Full length album, the band is preparing for 2008 with an even edgier groove, ready to bring to the stage a powerful, guitar-based sound with a distinctly southern flavor. Feel Never Real was formed in 2002 by Tim Jones (vocals, guitar), Mathew Cass (bass), and Shea Lange (backup vocals, drums). Their sound is hard driving melodic rock; it is f... | |

BAND: | Soulfly |  The Soulfly tribe is once again on the warpath. Soulfly's sixth offering for Roadrunner Records, Conquer, may very well be the musical equivalent of the movie Braveheart. The songs –much like the warriors in the film- channel raw, unbridled rage through a cacophony of thrash guitars, infectious grooves, tribal polyrhythms and Max Cavalera’s unmistakable, thunderous roar. On this record, Soulfly unleash a metallic mayhem unlike anything they’ve done previously. Conquer shifts from unrelenting, precise speed metal to slow, brooding doom. Marc Rizzo’s lead guitar rips with the precision of a smart bomb, while Bobby Burns grinds out volati... | |
