Hatchet To Record New Album
San Francisco natives and thrash metallers HATCHET will enter the studio March 22 to record their third full-length studio album, dropping Summer 2015 via The End Records/ADA. Since their Summer 2014 show run with Flotsam & Jetsam, the HATCHET camp has been preparing the follow-up to 2013’s acclaimed "Dawn Of The End" album (via The End Records/ADA) with an arsenal of new tracks by lead vocalist/guitarist Julz Ramos.
"Musically the material has been shaping up to be a big step into an even more unique sound. It will be littered with guitar harmonies, diverse tempos and above all will still hold together a thrash attack that will make the Bay Area proud…. Until then thrash on HATCHET legions!!!" —Ramos
After self-releasing two demos, HATCHET’s debut album, "Awaiting Evil," was released in mid-2008 via Metal Blade Records. The album was well-received by thrash enthusiasts around the globe and proved a great beginning for the band. Since the release of the debut, HATCHET has completed three full DIY US tours as well as their 2013 sophomore effort through The End Records, which saw them touring with Soilwork, Jeff Loomis, Threat Signal, Black Tide, Cellador, Exmortus and Flotsam & Jetsam.

Do legacies ever fade? Not when Brazilian blood is involved.
Celebrating its 30th year of existence, Brazil’s Sepultura (which was just looked at for Thrashback Thursday last week) will be headlining a tour that includes German thrashers Destruction as direct support and American melodic tech-deathsters Arsis as openers.
“It’s going to be an amazing experience to celebrate a 30-year career with the strongest album we’ve ever made in our history,” states Sepultura guitarist & songwriter Andreas Kisser about the upcoming 33-show trek and latest album, "The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart."
He goes on to say, “We are coming back to America and Canada with full force and with a hunger to destroy everything! Can't wait to perform the songs from the new album on stage! See you all on the road!”

New Version Of "Choosing Death" Seeing Release
Originally released on Feral House in 2004, "Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal and Grindcore" will now see an expanded and revised edition coming from author Albert Mudrian (editor-in-chief of Decibel Magazine), sporting an extra 100 pages.
This fully redesigned hardcover version is the inaugural release of brand-new imprint Decibel Books, and will be limited to 3,000 hand-numbered copies. It boasts three new chapters (with new material interspersed among the original 10 chapters), over 50 new interviews (for a total of 200) and a new cover painting by legendary death metal artist Dan Seagrave, recalling elements of his classic Entombed and Morbid Angel album covers.
Why revisit the book in 2015? Mudrian explains: “The decade since Choosing Death’s release treated death and grind fans to unlikely reunions, vital comeback records and previously unimaginable commercial breakthroughs. I couldn’t resist the urge to document one of the most exciting periods in the genres’ history, while also revealing more tales of its first 20 years of rule.”

Now And On Earth Releasing Debut Album
Montreal metalcore band Now and On Earth has announced debut album, "Blacked Out," is due to be released on April 14th via Epitaph. Pre-orders for "Blacked Out" are available here and digitally via iTunes.
Listen to "Intoxicated" a track first revealed on Epitaph’s Metalcore Summer sampler at Warped Tour last summer, in the player below. The following press release was also issued about the album:
"As its title suggests, 'Blacked Out,' is a dark and dangerous affair. 'Blacked Out' is a record that’s riddled with depression and despair and which is set in a world on the verge of collapse. The powerful force of these songs battle against that darkness, fighting against it as much as they encourage it. 'Blacked Out' is incredibly intense, aggressive, simultaneously catchy and hook-filled. Now and On Earth's signature sound is underpinned by neo-classical instrumentation, making the songs all that more epic and widescreen.
"Now And On Earth is guitarist Mathieu Maltais, lead singer Marc-Andre Fillion, lead guitarist Charles Pilon, bassist/clean vocalist Anthony Alain-Rossi, keyboard/synth player Phillipe Ferguson, and drummer Phil Beauchamp. With this lineup, their destructive, apocalyptic vision of the world has now fully come to life. Now And On Earth is gearing up to take these songs on the road for the first time. It’s time for the band to watch the world burn and help burn it down."
The new album's track listing is:
01. Intoxicated
02. Majesty
03. All Direction
04. Overtime
05. No Way Out

07. All On You

Of Reverie Parts With Vocalist
Ottawa's Of Reverie announced today the band has parted ways with vocalist Michael Labelle. Michael recorded two singles with the band, "Voice of the Fallen" and "Parallels," and you can stream both of them below.
Of Reverie is currently in the studio with Horizons' guitarist, Doug Meadows, finishing the follow-up EP to 2013's "Dreamcatcher." There is currently no talks of a new vocalist, but the band has confirmed there are no plans of stopping.
Michael's departure stands as the band's third split after vocalists Matthias Foks and Eric Williamson left in late 2013. Of Reverie comments:
"We are both happy and sad to announce today that Mikey will no longer be with us. We are very stoked for him with what he has in store! That being said we want to thank you all for your continued support and let you know that we have absolutely no intention of slowing down. We're still working on our new EP and we'll have details coming on that very soon, or maybe even a teaser!"
Michael also had this to say: "As some of you may have already heard, I have parted ways with Of Reverie. I was given an opportunity in January that I could not refuse. I've learned so many things being in this band that have made me a better musician and a better person in general. There is absolutely no bad blood or anything, we are still all friends and talk every day. As for myself, things are not ready to unfold yet but you will find out very soon. Your support is all I can ask for. I hope to see you all later this year." More...

Nashville Pussy Releasing Compilation
Nashville Pussy is gearing up to release new CD compilation "Ten Years Of Pussy" on SPV/Steamhammer. This 22 track monster takes the best studio tracks of the last decade and even throws in a live bonus EP taken from a blistering 2009 show at Nottingham.
Nashville Pussy hails from Atlanta, deep in the heart of "the BBQ nation" and sounds like ACDC slap boxing with Lynyrn Skynyrd while Motorhead watches. Formed by husband and wife guitarists Blaine Cartwright and Ruyter Suys, Nashville Pussy rose out of the ashes of Cartwright's former band Nine Pound Hammer in 1997. Since then the group has played thousands of gigs in 40 different countries.
"Ten Years Of Pussy" will be released in the USA on May 12th as a 2CD digipak and download through SPV/Steamhammer. The track listing is: More...

"Work on the new album has already begun and Entrapent is set to enter Aborted's bass-player JB Van Der Wal's studio for all tracking, mixing and mastering duties, as well as also showcasing the masterful artwork of Marald Van Haaasteren (Bolt Thrower, High On Fire, Wolfbrigade, etc)." More...
Spylacopa Releasing New Full-Length
John LaMacchia - who formed Spylacopa in the early 00’s - brings you the project's first full length record, and the first new release since the band's 2008 self-titled debut EP.
With a large cast of musicians including members of Isis, Mister Sparx, Palms, Candiria, Made out Of Babies, Slow Parade and Julie Christmas, the new full length, "Parallels," features some of the original line up that appeared on the first release as well as contributions from some new faces.
The delay of the album was partly due to the tragic murder of drummer Troy Young, who was killed in his Brooklyn apartment in December 2009 following an attempted robbery.
John LaMacchia comments: "Troy Young Tracked the drums for all the original material that made up the debut EP and most of what makes up this full length which is a huge reason why this record is being released. These are some of the last recordings of Troy Young tracking drums in a professional setting. After meeting Troys family during the trial of his murder, I felt somewhat obligated to get this record out. Troy would have wanted this record to come out and I feel that this is a way of helping to keep him active and present. He was such a talented young guy who was just getting a foothold in New York City as a working and functioning musician when he was killed.”
The album was Produced by John LaMacchia, mixed by Ken Schalk of Candiria, and mastered by Julian Silva at On Air Mastering. Spylacopa's "Parallels" will be available March 31st, 2015 via Rising Pulse Records, with pre-orders available at this location. More...

Radioactive Vomit Releasing New 7"
Iron Bonehead Productions, in conspiracy with Vault of Dried Bones, is proud to present an exclusive 7" from Radioactive Vomit, titled "Ratsflesh" and due out April 27th. IBP comments:
"Hailing from the cult metal hotbed of Vancouver, Radioactive Vomit thrust forth a vile, sickening brew of bestial black metal and bulldozing D-beat. Coated in copious layers of noise and feedback but always underpinned by a nuclear-powered pulse, Ratsflesh rages right from the beginning and offers no compromise / no remorse / no surrender until the final radioactive seconds trail off into the gutter. In fact, compared to so much modern bestial metal, Radioactive Vomit emit a street-level sort of grime, as suggested by titles like 'Stench of Treachery' and 'Speak With Tongues of Flies' and of course the Ratsflesh title itself, and duly imbue their music with this sense of decay, spiritual or otherwise. Feast upon Ratsflesh..."

Metallica Releasing 1982 Demo
In celebration of Record Store Day on April 18th, Metallica will release "No Life 'til Leather" as a limited edition cassette.
The seven tracks were recorded in 1982 in Tustin, CA by the band's original lineup of James Hetfield: lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Lars Ulrich: drums, Dave Mustaine: lead guitar, and Ron McGovney: bass.
Straight from the archives, the original source material has been re-mastered to maximize the sound potential for 2015 without altering the original mixes. Metallica comments:
"This year we decided to celebrate Record Store Day with our friends at independent retail by taking a huge leap back in time to our humble beginnings with that little rectangle of plastic known as the 'demo tape.' In 1982 we recorded seven songs that became our initial calling card known as 'No Life 'til Leather' and it led us to our first record deal... the rest, as you some of you may know, is history! We hope you enjoy this little walk down memory lane with us and that you will continue to join us in supporting independent record stores around the world."
Look for expanded versions coming on CD, vinyl and a collector's set sometime this Summer. The track listing is as follows:
1. Hit The Lights
2. The Mechanix
3. Motorbreath

God Dethroned Working On New Material
After reuniting to play the 70,000 Tons Of Metal cruise, God Dethroned has checked in with the following announcement about working on new material:
"Dear unholy friends of God Dethroned,
"It's been something like 5 years since we last wrote a God Dethroned song. Maybe some of you wondered if we still have it in us to write new stuff again and the answer is definitely yes, we do!
"The first riffs have been written and the inspiration is there to write a lot more. You know we never write the same album twice and also this time there won't be an exception to this rule.
"I'm not gonna tell you yet what you can expect, it's even a bit too early for us to say what will be the outcome, but we're trying something completely different this time around.
"This will be the third and final chapter about World War One and we're hoping to have the recordings finished before year end.
"We'll keep you posted about the process, but most of all, we'd like to see you at one (or more) of the upcoming shows this season!"
