Candlemass Reunites, New Album Out Next Summer
After having disbanded just 6 months ago, Candlemass is back. Messiah, Leif, Jan, Lars and Mappe. The classic line-up refuse to die. The boys will enter the famous Stockholm Polar Studios Nov. 26, mix in January and bless us with an album in May sometime. Perfect for Candlemass 20 year anniversary.
According to what Leif said before, the band couldn’t agree on how to proceed after the reunion, so they decided it was best to put the beast of doom to sleep. It is always the best thing when five people want the same thing. And indeed, it looks like they’ve overcome the individual problems for a united effort to do something great.
Bleed The Sky Sign With Nuclear Blast
Bleed the Sky just signed a worldwide contract with Nuclear Blast. Formed in early 2003, the young American sextet – hailing from Orange County, California – is specialized in mixing groovy metal riffs with distinctive melodies and profound lyrics. Although having an average age of about 22, the guys already proved to be as skilful & professional as old stagers and performed as support of the mighty Opeth only a few months after their foundation. Other acts Bleed the Sky already have played with are the Murderdolls, My Ruin, Skinlab and Deicide. Check out www.bleedthesky.com for more information.

Last weekend we played a show at the Aalborg Metal Festival in Denmark. The show turned out very well I think and it felt like we all are in great shape again after this year's low activity.
By the way, here's the set list for the show:More...
"40 Least Metal Moments" To Premiere This Weekend
New York City heavy metal masters, Captain T and Ostronomy, will once again appear as "metal experts" on VH1's "40 Least Metal Moments", premiering Saturday, November 13 at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Having previously appeared on VH1's "100 Most Metal Moments," Captain T, a.k.a. Mark Strigl, John Ostronomy, and fellow expert Eric Bohnenstiel, will provide commentary on the 40 most "un-metal" moments in heavy metal history. From Pat Boone's album of heavy metal covers to KISS' successful attempt at disco, the "metal experts" will wax philosophical about some of their favorite heavy metal gods.
A rebroadcast of VH1's highly successful "100 Most Metal Moments" will precede the show from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. EST.
Captain T and Ostronomy will also appear on the upcoming W.A.S.P. tribute album, which will be released by Denmark's Valhalla Records, and the upcoming KISS tribute album, which will be released in the United States by Lunar Moth Entertainment.

Found Dead Hanging Update
Following the amicable departure of drummer Maynard Sneider, Syracuse band Found Dead Hanging went on hiatus to write some new material and find a replacement drummer. According to the band, "a few [drumming] prospects were approached but nothing has panned out." Consequently, the group has intensified their search for a new drummer. Candidates with talent, quality gear, and a willingness to travel and tour should contact FDH here. Meanwhile, the band continues to work on their debut full-length, entitled "Ghost Of The Saltwater Machines," which should be available through Black Market Activities in 2005.
Mudvayne New Website Coming Soon
Mudvayne are apparently in the process of completely remaking their website, currently they just have what you could call a "warning" message to all fans up for display. Go to the bands official site and check back often because I'm sure it will be worth it when the page is finished.

This is one of the first reviews the new album has gotten: "...it is relatively impossible to predict what will follow after that riff or refrain, and unless you listened to the album for five-six times, you can't be sure you know the music well..." - Ad Arma Webzine.

Interview
Interview With Arch Enemy
I had the chance of talking to Arch Enemy's bass player Sharlee D'Angelo this last Saturday in Worcester, MA. As I've said before, I always have so much fun talking to Scandinavians and this time was no exception to the rule. Special thanks go out to Sharlee for being incredibly nice, their tour manager Notty for arranging the interview and Ragnar, a.k.a. Mannahnin for helping out with the questions. More...
