DiGorgio Gets Cold Shoulder from Iced Earth

This just in from Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles:

On the eve of releasing Horror Show, Iced Earth founder/guitarist John Schaffer announced that Steve DiGorgio (bass) was no longer in the band. Just months before, the talented DiGorgio was heralded as the final piece in a seemingly never ending struggle to maintain a solid line-up. "From the beginning," states the guitarist, "I told him if he didn't want to tour, then I didn't want him on the album."

In a surprising move, live dates might be handled by former bassist James MacDonough. Failing that, Schaffer might pick up the bass himself.

Six Feet Under Teams with Ice-T

Six Feet Under has teamed up rapper and Body Count frontman Ice-T on "One Bullet Left" from the group's forthcoming True Carnage disc. According to frontman Chris Barnes,

"it was a serious honor to work with Ice on this track. I've wanted to work with Ice since '93 when I was still in Cannibal Corpse and we opened for Bodycount at Metalfest. I've been a fan of his music for years, and I want to let you all know this song kills!! Ice wrote some sick lyrics for his part of the song, and I haven't been able to stop listening to this since we recorded the track. It's very, very aggressive, and I'm really proud of what we did on this one. This is in no way rap-rock or anything like that."

"True Carnage" is in stores August 7th 2001.
