Internal Bleeding Announces New Drummer

On April 20th, Internal Bleeding drummer and veteran FDNY firefighter Bill Tolley passed away after falling five stories from a rooftop while battling a two-alarm apartment fire in Queens, New York.

The tragedy touched family, friends, his band mates, the city of New York, and the worldwide metal community. Many fans expressed concerns as to whether Internal Bleeding would continue. The band utilized the drum services of basher Kyle Eddy for "The Strike Of The Empire" U.S. tour with Vader and is now pleased to welcome Eddy as a permanent member.

Issues the band in a collective statement, "Losing a beloved friend and band mate has been a traumatic event for us, and needless to say, the past few months have been a roller coaster of conflicting emotions. But, through it all, there was never a thought given to packing this band up and calling it quits. There was no doubt in our mind that Bill would want the band to continue. As a matter of fact, he spoke about it numerous times with us. In short, he always said, 'the band needs to go on.'

"We're not quite sure how we managed, but we pulled off a full U.S. tour with a fill-in drummer who only had a few weeks to practice and get the set down. That drummer was upstate New York native, and death metal veteran Kyle Eddy. He did an amazing job learning the music, getting the set down, and fit in perfectly with our personalities. We had a great time with him on tour, and it felt like he'd been in the band for years - that's how comfortable we were with him.

"Kyle is a true professional in every sense of the word. He is deeply dedicated to his craft and brings unrelenting enthusiasm and energy to the band. For those reasons -- and many others -- we have chosen him to become the new drummer for Internal Bleeding. More...

Howls Of Ebb Releasing Khthoniik Cerviiks Split

Howls Of Ebb and Khthoniik Cerviiks meet each other within the grooves of an explosive split album that glorifies the dark and twisted side of death and black metal.

The Howls Of Ebb side plays limbonic metal under the insignia of madness and rage. Under the title of “With Gangrene Edges,” HoB's 3 tracks conjure up bizarre demons from poisonous and metamorphic dimensions too abstruse and disgusting to be grasped in full by our small minds. On the opposite side, Khthoniik Cerviiks dives into the “Voiidwarp," a psychic death metal vortex assaulting the senses, annihilating reason and obliterating existence.

This split is due to arrive as a 4-panel Digisleeve CD on September 15th, as well a vinyl version. The track listing is as follows:

HOWLS OF EBB – With Gangrene Edges
1. Babel's Catechism (5:29)
2. With Gangrene Edges... (3:36)
3. Bellowed (5:29)
KHTHONIIK CERVIIKS – Voiidwarp
4. Ketoniik Katechesiis (KC Exhalement 3.0) (2:24)
