Thunderwar Streaming "Eagle Of Glory"

Polish outfit Thunderwar has self-released a new EP titled "The Bird of Thunder," and now Metalunderground.com is bringing you the U.S. premiere of the new track "Eagle of Glory." Give it a listen below. The following press release was also issued about the band:

"Cold as ice, angry as a horde of Viking warriors, and determined like an army fighting for freedom of their homeland: Thunderwar! The band was born in 2013, when four young metal maniacs decided to join their forces to not only pay their tribute to such metal heroes as Bathory, Unleashed, Dissection, or Amon Amarth, but to prove that Poland has again something to say to the metal world, after giving birth to cult acts such Vader or Behemoth.

"Since the very beginning the band decided to work only with the best ones. Debut EP 'The Birth of Thunder' was finally mixed and produced by Wieslawscy Bros from Hertz Studio. The band’s logo was designed by Christophe Szpajdel and the cover artwork for 'The Birth of Thunder' EP was created by Mario Lopez.

"Currently the band is promoting its self-released EP and in the middle of 2014 will enter the Hertz Studio to work on the first, full album, which is foretold to be a step to the next level - higher, than anybody can expect! Thunderwar: Better remember this name, as they are here to stay!" More...

Dividing The Element Splits With Guitarist

Zimbabwe-based metal outfit Dividing The Element has issued the following announcement about parting ways with the band's guitarist:

"Sadly we have lost a brother in arms, Sherlic, as a band member. He has left the country to study in South Africa.

Nashville Pussy Details New Album, Posts Sample

One of the most unusual and charismatic rock acts have announced the release of the latest studio album for January 2014. More precisely: the American quartet Nashville Pussy are set to present their new studio recording "Up The Dosage" on January 21, 2014 in North America, in Germany on January 17, 2014 and Europe on January 20, 2014.

"Up the Dosage" picks up seamlessly where their 2009 release "From Hell To Texas" left off. And what is more: their five-year hiatus seems to have done frontman Blaine Cartwright (vocals, guitar) and Ruyter Suys (guitars) good - all 13 new songs (plus two bonus tracks) sound like they were catapulted into to the public from a fountain of youth, rocking in typical Pussy style. Up the Dosage features the first recordings from new bassist Bonnie Buitrago who took over the bass player duties from Karen Cuda.

Frontman Blaine Cartwright commented on the addition of Bonnie to the band: "Bonnie originally tried out for Nashville Pussy 12 years ago. When we needed a replacement for Karen a couple of years ago, we were lucky that she was available. She's a Southern California native who is a great musician who has given our rock a more solid roll!"

Rick Beato, known for his production work with Shinedown, mixed the album. The first audio sample of the track "The South's Too Fat to Rise Again" is available for streaming via SoundCloud (also heard in the player below).

"The song is about how fucking fat everyone in the south has got. Me included! It's hard to preach about Southern Pride when you can't touch your toes," exclaims frontman Blaine Cartwright.

"Up The Dosage" will be released in the following formats: limited digipak edition (incl. 2 bonus tracks + poster), double gatefold LP edition with colored vinyl, standard version and download.

The track list is:

1. Everybody's Fault But Mine
2. Rub it to Death
3. Till the Meat Falls off the Bone
4. The South's Too Fat to Rise Again
5. Before the Drugs Wear Off
6. Spent
7. Beginning of the End
8. Up The Dosage
9. Taking it Easy
10. White and Loud
11. Hooray For Cocaine, Hooray For Tennessee
12. Pillbilly Blues
13. Pussy's Not a Dirty Word More...
