PARADISE LOST present to you the stunning cover artwork for their much
anticipated upcoming album "In Requiem", which will be released on Century Media
Records on May 21st, 2007. The artwork was created by Greek artist Seth, whose
gloomy designs already graced releases by Heaven Shall Burn, Rotting Christ, and
the last Paradise Lost album (www.seth-design.com).
Furthermore, PARADISE LOST just shot a video for "The Enemy" on the Crimean
peninsula in Yalta with the Ukrainian director Edward 209 (www.edward209.com).
Edward 209 already proved his talent with dark and bizarre looking videos for
Front 242 and In Strict Confidence, and you can expect something really special.
See below for some stills from the video shoot!
"The Enemy", taken from the upcoming album "In Requiem" (out May 21, 2007), will
be released on April 13, 2007 as a three track single including the album track
"Beneath Black Skies" and the exclusive single track "Godless" as well as a
video trailer of the forthcoming PARADISE LOST documentary "Over The Madness",
in Germany, Switzerland, Italy & Austria ONLY.
Right after the video shoot PARADISE LOST co-headlined (with Testament) the
Metal Mania Festival in Katowice / Poland where they debuted "The Enemy" live in
front of 4.000 Polish fans. In times of digicam mania you can already watch it
HERE !
If you can’t stand the crappy bootleg audio quality, you can pre-listen "The
Enemy / Beneath Black Skies" on www.myspace.com/paradiselostuk
On April 12, 2007 PARADISE LOST will do an exclusive DVD recording show at Koko
in London, UK.

ARCH ENEMY - Recording new album / band checks in from the studio
After having announced the return of original guitarist Christopher Amott, ARCH
ENEMY are now busy with the recordings of the much anticipated follow-up to the
band’s most successful album to date "Doomsday Machine" (2005). The band is
currently working on their next metal, yet not titled masterpiece with producer
Fredrik Nordström at Sweden’s Studio Fredman, where the band actually recorded
all their early albums up to "Wages Of Sin" (2001). ARCH ENEMY drummer Daniel
Erlandsson checks in with an update on the recording process:
"Greetings all Arch Enemies!
As you might know we are currently recording our new album in Studio Fredman/Sweden.
It's been a very smooth ride so far, working with engineers Fredrik and Patrik
has been fantastic - these guys are pros!
Anyway, all the drum tracks are now completed. We recorded a total of 11 new
ARCH ENEMY tracks plus some other extras that I'm sure you will hear about at a
later point.
The new songs are very fresh at this moment. The new material is very varied,
some songs are faster and more extreme than before while some songs are very
heavy and melodic - but they all have the ARCH ENEMY imprint in capital letters!
I have no doubt that these songs will please those who like to bang their heads
to the sound of pure fu*king metal!
Check out the pictures from the studio! // Daniel"
Furthermore, ARCH ENEMY has been confirmed to headline this year’s Up From The
Ground Festival in Gemuenden, Germany (see www.uftg.de for detailed info),
taking place August 24-25, 2007.
Stay tuned for more studio updates in the next days!

EVILE wrap up Severe Torture tour and gear up to record Earache debut
Riding the thrash lightning to stardom, EVILE have recently wrapped up an
extensive UK tour with death metallers SEVERE TORTURE and DESECRATION.
Recounting their tour experience on a recent MySpace blog EVILE declared,
"Overall we had a fu*king great time. Want to say cheers to Severe Torture and
Desecration." EVILE humorously note a day of the tour where they encounter a
coven of "emos," citing that "the streets were swarming with people who can only
see out of one eye (out of choice). We came upon this take away called "Salt &
Pepper," it was also swarming with…..well, Emos."
Breaking away from the emo nemesis, EVILE wrapped up the tour at The Soundhaus
in Glasgow, stirring up the pit and moshing with Dennis of SEVERE TORTURE! Check
out more accounts on their MySpace blog at:
http://blog.myspace.com/evileuk
EVILE will be entering the studio in May to record their Earache debut album,
"Enter the Grave" at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen with legendary thrash
producer, Flemming Rasmussen. Rasmussen has produced three thrash classics from
Metallica - Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, and "...And Justice for All"
- as well as material for MORBID ANGEL and many other legendary extreme acts!
"Enter the Grave" is scheduled for a September 2007 release date.

Says Mortiis about the exclusive material;
"I grew up on vinyl records, when CD came along and vinyl was dying Away I was
gutted, CD still can’t stand up to the pure artistic space that is open to you
on an LP.
The creativity that was explored with the vinyl format (especially in the
70’s) was pure magic and that died when CD came along. I think to some extent
you can be creative with a CD too but it’s nowhere close. I try to get vinyl
versions of everything we do, although sometimes that just doesn’t happen. We’re
doing it now, and it is something I will be fighting for with every release we
do in the future as well, to be as creative as possible in an environment that
reflects that, vinyl records are a great medium to showcase cool ideas."
'Some Kind of Heroin' is released on April 16, Catch Mortiis now on his European
tour with the Deathstars on these dates.

HATE ETERNAL - Bass player leaves, Alex Webster steps in
Former HATE ETERNAL bassist Randy Piro has released the following statement
regarding his departure from the group:
"From the deepest pits of my heart I thank Erik Rutan, Derek Roddy, Jared
Anderson (may he rest in peace), and everyone in the HATE ETERNAL family for
believing in my abilities, and bestowing upon me the honour of playing in one of
the most extreme bands the world has ever heard."
"HATE ETERNAL has played a massive role in my life, and I will always look upon
my time spent jamming with Erik and Derek with warm emotions. I wish Erik Rutan
and the band the world and its spoils, for the HATE truly is ETERNAL..."
It has now been officially confirmed that CANNIBAL CORPSE's Alex Webster will
play bass on HATE ETERNAL's new album which is set to be released in fall 2007!
Webster about the collaboration: "I am very excited to be participating in the
recording of HATE ETERNAL's next album," Webster says in a statement. "Erik [Rutan,
HATE ETERNAL leader] is an amazing guitarist and songwriter, and one of my best
friends. As bassist for the new album, I will do my best to make the strongest
contribution possible to a band that has already proven itself to be at the
highest level of brutality and musicianship."
Webster and Rutan have had a close working relationship prior to collaborating
on HATE ETERNAL's new album. Rutan produced CANNIBAL CORPSE's latest CD, "Kill"
(2006).
"This record needs and deserves the best, and I think Alex is the best bass
player I know," Rutan says in a statement. "He is one of my best friends and I
know that Jared [Anderson] would be proud to have Alex be a part of HATE ETERNAL
history. He was my first bass player in HATE ETERNAL when I started and am proud
to have him back as a part of it."

MACHINEMADE GOD reveals details on upcoming album
"Alright, we re back from the first studio session. And believe me when I say
that we’re happy to be still alive. The trip to Denmark was worse than anything
we have experienced in our life. We had it all, from traffic jams to sh*tty
weather, from a broken down van and uncharged cell-phones, running out of money,
freezing and flooded studios...but we made it! So yeah, we're done with the
instrumental part.
And it sounds already heavy...can’t wait to here the final mix. But first we
have to track the vocals, which should happen pretty soon. But yeah, we keep you
updated about everything as usual. Anyway, we keep being busy with shows as
well, so check out the show-section, cause we added a couple new confirmed gigs.
More is in the works and will be announced as soon as possible!"
"Our last studio session was successful and all drums, bass and guitars are
tracked. This time we returned home save without any trouble, sh*tty weather or
a broken van! We received the rough-mix of our songs yesterday and believe us,
it sounds already damn heavy and we can’t wait for the final mix!
But first, we have to record the vocals, and that’s exactly what we’re
starting with today. More news about the recording progress and some details
about the album when we are back home!" - Flo MMG
The upcoming MACHINEMADE GOD album will be unleashed at the end of June 2007!

overseas. We are hitting up some smaller venues, most without barricades, so we
can bring a real UNEARTH show..." - UNEARTH

remarks, and Stefan chimes in: "We are all very psyched about this and can't
wait to get on the road again." "Fredrik recorded 'Glory To The Brave' with us,

have been confirmed to play at this years Download Festival.

making their debut appearance at the Download Festival.
Warlord Nygard, TURISAS lead singer comments "Ten years ago, when this band was
formed, when we were dreaming of playing the local youth centre, I remember how
amazing it was to watch all those legendary bands on video play Donington. Now
we're releasing our second album and it is just such a huge honour to be invited
to take the stage and perform these new songs for the first time ever at such an
amazing festival as Download for such a crazy crowd as we have learned to expect
in the UK. Rain or shine, I want to see a sea of thousands of fists and hear
your battle cry out loud and proud. Banners will fly high and pints raised
towards the sky. My warriors - we meet at Donington!"
TURISAS are joining the already prestigious bill of over 30 bands already
announced, with many more still to come - My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Iron
Maiden are 30 Seconds To Mars, ANJ, Bloodsimple, Bowling For Soup, Bring Me The

GOTTHARD - Video shoot for "The Call" finished
Last week the video for GOTTHARD´s first online single "The Call" - taken from
the new album "Domino Effect" (release on April 27th) - has been shot in
Nuernberg/Germany. Directed by Martin Mueller from RCN-TV the clip has been shot
in the famous Grand Hotel.
There, the beautiful Richard-Wagner-Saloon as well as the Honeymoon Suite
have been the locations for the shooting of the extraordinary clip. "As the song
itself is a very traditional ballad we wanted the clip to be everything else
than traditional", bass player Marc Lynn explained to the newspaper "Nuernberger
Zeitung", which reported about the video shoot. "For example, we will have one
scene, in which Steve Lee, our singer, sits in a restaurant with a girl and the
waitress serves him a cut out heart." So we can look forward...
Municipal Waste bring back the Thrash with 'The Art of Partying'
Municipal Waste, undisputed kings of the new wave of Thrash Metal streaking
across the globe, have finished work on their second Earache mosh masterpiece
entitled 'The Art of Partying'.
Sticking it in the face of depressing modern eyeliner fuelled rock with a
blatant disregard for their own safety in honour of the thrash party gods and
armed with an arsenal of nuclear beer, boogie boards, food fights and steaming
riffs, Municipal Waste have only one aim: to put the fun back into rock music.
Offering lessons in how to Party, the notoriously well experienced beer mad
Virginia based band, return with 'The Art of Partying' which is building up to
be one of the most anticipated records of the year. Fresh out of Zeus's' Planet
Z studios drummer Dave Witte enthuses:
"We couldn't be more stoked with the outcome. Fast, furious and fun all rolled
into one...a real animal."
'The Art of Partying' will be released on June 11th on Earache Records. In
advance of the release the band undertake a full European trek in support of The
Haunted at these shows.
