Forever Never Signs To Siege Of Amida Records

FOREVER NEVER has signed to Siege Of Amida Records.

Having toured long and hard the past years sharing the stage with the likes of Stone Sour, Lacuna Coil, Stuck Mojo and many others, the band is set to unleash their second full length, which will be self titled, on March 2, 2009.

"We were so impressed by this band in that they prove you do not need to emphasise on heaviness to make a song come across as hard hitting- every hook on this album will not leave your head for days; this is Metal at it's most infectious and melodic. FN's influences draw so far and wide they are like a shuffled itunes playlist.... elements of Soilwork, Meshuggah, Sevendust, Alter Bridge, and stirring great songwriters from the late 80's such as Foreigner and Terence Trent D'arby are all in the mix."

Artwork is being handled by Colin Marks (Aborted, Whitechapel, Plasmarifle), with recording handled by Mike at CDS Studios (Postmortem Promises, Annotations Of An Autopsy).

Here's is a statement from the band's vocalist Renny Carroll:

"On behalf of the guys in FN, I'd firstly like to say after going it alone for over four years, we weren't just going to sign with anyone. So with that said we're delighted to be getting into bed with the guys at Siege of Amida - and signing with them is a bonus as well obviously. 2009 promises to be the best year yet for us and we can't wait to get out on the road again and show everyone what we're really capable of with the new album. Cheers to the guys at SOAR, and to everyone that has supported us this far - we won't disappoint you! Bring it on!"

Spineshank Issues Studio Update

Guitarist Mike Sarkisyan of LA metal band, Spineshank, has issued the following update regarding the progress of their upcoming album:

"Hey there dudes and dudettes, here's a quick update on the status of Spineshank. We had one of our guerilla writing/recording sessions all week. The record is definitely shaping up and trust me when I say that this is going to be by far the best Spineshank record yet. At this point we have about 10 songs completely finished. Some are recorded properly, some are just really shitty recordings. As Tommy said before we're planning on writing 20-22 songs total and then picking the best 12 or so and releasing them. All of us are firing on all cylinders and we're super excited about this record. Jay Baumgardner will be done mixing a coupla songs for us next week, so we'll post something up very soon. Also we'll have a new line of merch coming out it should all be done by January. That's pretty much all for now. Thanx for your undying support."
