Wolverine Cancels Rock The Mountain Festival Date
Swedish metallers WOLVERINE have cancelled their appearance the Rock The Mountain Festival in Söderhamn, Sweden on July 22nd. According to an update:
"Once again we are sorry to say that we have been forced to cancel an upcoming gig.
"The reason for the cancellation is that Stefan's (Zell - singer) daughter was born with a heart-condition. She didn't need immediate surgery at birth but now she's taken a turn for the worse so Stefan and his family will travel to Gothenburg which is one of two cities in Sweden that are able to perform the surgery needed. They will be in Gothenburg over the next weekend and that's when the gig was supposed to take place." More...

Walls Of Jericho Posts New Song Online
Walls Of Jericho has posted the new song "The American Dream" on their MySpace page.
The track is taken from the their forthcoming album of the same name, which will be released later next month through Trustkill.
"We tried some new things without doing the same thing over and over," explains guitarist Chris Rawson. "We wanted to make sure to do what we do and not go too far off the beaten track, but at the same time keep ourselves interested and excited. I would say it's more aggressive than With Devils Amongst Us All, with lots of parts to circle-pit to, so put on your running shoes and start running your ass in a circle!"
Behell's Debut Album To Be Released This Winter
The debut album from BEHELL, "Confront Your Worst Fear, We Are Here!," will be released this winter through UK label and distro Supernal Music.
According to the label: "Behell has been honing their black art since 1994 to create a record that unearths the classic blueprint for a genre that is rapidly self-destructing. 'CONFRONT..' gets you in a headlock and drags you screaming back into the moonlit winterforests to study the battleplans carefully."
"Fuck drum-triggers, classical instrumentation, and expensive production! This will make you want to strap on leather and steel, crack open a beer, and beg Supernal to press this onto vinyl too!"
You can check out some of Behell's material on their MySpace page.
