Sepultura Finds Sanctuary
Swpultura are strongly rumored to be on the verge of signing a new record deal with the Sanctuary/Metal-Is label following their split with Roadrunner Records earlier in the year. Although no official announcement has been made, Sanctuary and Sepultura have reportedly been involved in intense negotiations over the past several weeks, and Sanctuary is apparently feeling comfortable enough about the prospect of the group signing to have placed an ad in the metal/hard rock section of the current issue of trade magazine Billboard listing Sepultura as one of the acts on their growing roster.
Ozzy's 24th Gold
Ozzy's Down To Earth CD has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America last week for sales in excess of 500,000 copies in the US. This is the 24th consecutive release, including his recordings with Black Sabbath, for which Ozzy has earned at least the gold certification in the States.
Godsmack to Finish Black Magick
The band wants to finish production of the 'Bad Magick' video, which was halted by the events of September 11. The video was set to feature the band playing at a cookout in front of a handful of apathetic crowd members and one Godsmack fanatic, who tries to rally the rest of the audience. As the enthused fan watches the performance, he imagines the band performing in huge arenas. The live performance segments were delayed when the band's shows were cancelled after September 11.
More on Manson's Resident Evil
There's a decent article entitled "Marilyn Manson Says Scoring Comes Naturally For Him" on SonicNet that goes in depth into his more recent contribution to Resident Evil.
"Scoring is something that comes very naturally for me," he said. "Whenever I'm making a record I always have so many visuals in my head, so it's great to be able to have an actual image in front of you and make music that goes with it. It's also nice for me not to worry about making music into a song that has a chorus and singing on it myself and just being able to sit down at a keyboard and compose things that create a mood or help things become as scary or sad or tense as it needs to be. It's a very powerful thing."

Zombie To Produce Ramones Tribute
Rob Zombie will team up with Ramones guitarist Johnny Ramone to produce Ramones tribute album.
"Really, the Ramones are the greatest American band," Zombie said Tuesday. "I just think that what they did was so simple and so stripped down and so to-the-point that you can't mess with it."
