Arsebreed Finishes New Album

Dutch extreme death metal militia Arsebreed recently completed the recording of a forthcoming Unique Leader full-length with current Necrophagist basher Romain Goulon behind the kit. In an official statement the band elaborates:

"In 2006, just after [former drummer] Floris [De Jonge, Mangled] left Arsebreed, we got in contact with an unknown young French guy. He said he knew us from our other bands, Pyaemia and Disavowed. We all agreed on a try-out. After only one month, he e-mailed saying he had learned our songs. Slightly skeptical -- one month is really quick -- we bought him his plane ticket and flew him in.

"Once in the rehearsal room, he nailed it! Flawless, relentless, speed and accuracy! We instantly knew that this unknown young guy from France, Romain Goulon, was the prefect drummer for Arsebreed. Unfortunately, the best kept secret in death metal was soon discovered by the rest of the world and in 2007 Romain fled Arsebreed to join Necrophagist.

"Nevertheless, last year we once again got in contact with Romain. We started talking about these ten songs that we had written over time, just waiting for a drummer... and we were stoked to hear that he was willing to record them! This week we received the recordings. More than seven years later we got that exact same feeling that we had back in 2006 in that rehearsal room. Insane. Romain proved once again that was and is the one and only drummer for Arsebreed. He is unsurpassed in creativity, technique, speed, perseverance and grasping the concept of the Arsebreed songs as no one else. Finally! We waited for more than six years but it was worth the wait! Thanks Romain!"

Formerly known as Bloodcum, Arsebreed was spawned in 2000 and is dedicated to the execution of brutal, uncompromising, US-style death metal in the vein of Deeds Of Flesh and Deicide. More...

Ataraxie Parting Ways With Guitarist

French outfit Ataraxie has issued the following announcement about parting ways with guitarist Sylvain Esteve:

"We are sad to announce the departure of Sylvain from Ataraxie, after 13 years spent in the band. He made that choice, because he is not able to find the time to manage his family life, his professional life, and the band at the same time.

"We thank Sylvain for this human adventure that we lived together for all these years, all these gigs, these albums we recorded altogether and that gradually built Ataraxie's identity as it exists today.

"We are at the moment seeking for a proper replacement, and all our future gigs are maintained." More...

"Sleeping Dogs" Free For Xbox Live Gold Members

If you haven't been paying attention to your Xbox dashboard over the last six months or so, Microsoft is now offering two free games a month for Xbox Gold members: one on the 1st, and another on the 16th of each month.

This month, the first free game is "Sleeping Dogs," a Grand Theft Auto style game in which an undercover cop takes on Chinese triads. Why does this matter to metalheads? Because the game features the ability to flip through radio stations while driving, and one such channel is dedicated entirely to Roadrunner Records. The station features this soundtrack:

Black Stone Cherry, “Rain Wizard” and “Change”
DevilDriver, “Dead To Rights” and “Bring The Fight (To The Floor)”
Dream Theater, “On the Backs of Angels”
Fear Factory, “Edgecrusher (Urban Assault Mix)”
Killswitch Engage, “My Curse”
