Piel de Serpiente Inevitable CD Hard Rock
Piel de Serpiente Inevitable CD Hard Rock
Playing Melodic Hard Rock with Metal influences and Spanish lyrics, the band PIEL DE SERPIENTE from Valencia is back with their third album "Inevitable". Being around for 7 years now this album is their debut on Pure Rock Records. Before this they released two discs "Encenderé Tu Fuego" (2005) and "El Veneno Se Extiende" (2008), which appeared only as a self-release and through Karthago Records. Musically sometimes - because of the catchy double leads and a bass-sound in best Steve Harris-mania - a little bit influenced by Iron Maiden, a total of eleven beautifully dry produced unique songs are offered. Among them: a small loving tribute to the never forgotten Ronnie James Dio ("Ronnie James (Un Arcoiris En La Oscuridad)") and also as last work an English song ("Sons Of The Night"). With "La Marea Del Ayer" the five musicians prove, that this band is also possible to play more quiet tones, which generally accompanies the diversity of the Spanish group. Although the language may sound a bit unusual for some listeners at first sight, almost all, very clean played pieces of “Inevitable” will catch you latest after second or third listening! PIEL DE SERPIENTE proves impressively, that Hard Rock, played with heart and soul, must have
English lyrics to work!

STARGAZERY Eye on the Sky CD Melodic Metal PURE LEGEND RECORDS
The first album made by Pure Legend Records, the brand new sub-label of Pure Steel Records will be the debut from STARGAZERY and it's available soon! This Finnish band has previously made only one single in 2007. The new album "EYE ON THE SKY" contains 11 songs (Japanese edition includes 1 bonus track). STARGAZERY's musical style is melodic, traditional, catchy melodic metal with powerful keyboards fitting very well to the hard rocking sound.
You will be reminded of pioneers like Tony Martin era BLACK SABBATH (cover version of "Headless cross" is on the album), and old RAINBOW / WHITESNAKE. STARGAZERY's strong vocalist Jari Tiura (ex-MSG-vocalist) also brings DIO in mind. You can hear influences of ETERNAL REIGN and ASTRAL DOORS, so fans of these bands should absolutely check the band out! The outstanding production carries the great variety of songs from double-bass drumming ("Eye on the sky") to power ballads ("Everytime I dream of you"). If you are into melodic metal or hard rock, don't hesitate to listen to the fine material of STARGAZERY! said: STARGAZERY are a must for every music
lover, for whom melodic metal is not a foreign word!

Annihilationmancer The Involution Philosophy CD Thrash Metal
Annihilationmancer The Involution Philosophy CD Thrash Metal
Very technical / progressive thrash metal in the tradition of Toxik and Watch Tower we present you this time with ANNIHILATIONMANCERs current album "The Involution Philosophy”. Originally it was already released independently last year in a very small scale. Already established in 1994 in the Italian Napoli, the two demos "Unpunished Massacre Messiah" (1999) and a simple "Promo 2009" titled 3 track aperitif were released to the CD racks of the underground Thrashers. We also discovered the musical finesse of the most challenging, but equally brutal music of
the trio, so we summarily decided to make the first "real" album available professionally. Different influences can be heard on these seven songs plus intro: One is of course the already mentioned elements of Watch Tower and Toxik, the barking vocals is reminiscent of Megadeth's Dave Mustaine, the guitar technique awakens again so many associations with Annihilator god Jeff Waters. And even insinuating acoustic tunes are used in the instrumental song “Reflected In Her Life", which is a further indication that in this genre also variety does not always mean something bad! ANNIHILATIONMANCER take the balancing act between technical finesse, high standards and hard tunes - and they do it on “The Involution Philosophy" extremely credible!!

IPERYT No State Of Grace CD Industrial Black Metal
IPERYT No State Of Grace CD Industrial Black Metal
IPERYT – the army, the weapon, the machinery of war!
The idea of modern and sinister sonic warfare was born in 2005. Five people and the ultimate weapon ready to unleash aggression, destruction, depravity and all of the crying children fears… A powerful mixture of furious black metal strongly established in its almost forgotten roots, a touch of death/grind attitude and all thrown into the wall of noise called terrorcore. Sick innovation delivered by most uncommon, perverted and psychotic minds gathered together in only one purpose. The purpose of dark art, demolition and chaos. With first critically acclaimed EP entitled PARTICULAR HATRED, which consists of four powerful tracks, the band proved that raw black metal, sick melodies and ultra-fast terrorcore bassdrums can be united under one evil flag. A first step into hellish and brutal, yet still well-thought-out and intelligent sound.
Followed by a crushing full length TOTALITARIAN LOVE PULSE, IPERYT showed there’s a whole new world of extremity to come into being. Uncommon arrangements, the new quality only for a headstrong, only for a truly dedicated to the underground. And the live performances... Pure chaos. These psychotic minds are not driven by hell. They are hell! It’s like experiencing “The Exorcist” live onstage. Followed by profanity and sickness. The new album NO STATE OF GRACE brings the intensity and insanity back once again and sets the new standard in industrial metal. Feel the touch of true passion. Pump up the
bass. Taste the venom! Whether you call it music or noise, metal or terror techno one thing is certain:
IPERYT – the band – offers no excuses, asks no compromises and wants nothing but pure
extreme emotions.
Recorded and mixed in MAQ Studio 2009/2010.
Produced by Jarosław Toifl and IPERYT. All music by IPERYT, all lyrics by People Hater.

BEHEMOTH The Return Of The Northern Moon CD
There had been a long hard road out of hell until the cursed day when the furious intensity of the Eastern beast, set up by Nergal, the main man behind the band, struck the world in mid 1991. Following the paths of the ancient
heroes like VENOM, early FROST or first Norwegian black metal acts, Behemoth started their unearthly existence with a couple of raw and primitive rehearsal tapes ("Endless Damnation") and demos ("The Return of the
northern moon"), the most significant of which was the second one - "From the pagan vastlands" (1993), showing the growing potential of the main composer/writer. This tape was released by polish label Pagan Rec. and later
on by infamous American Wild Rags which pressed this stuff on CD. Signing with a minor Italian company Entropy rec. the band had the chance to record their debut release, a mini album entitled "And the forests dream eternally"
(1994) followed by the full length with Polish underground label Pagan records. Now, after two decades later, when Behemoth dominated extreme music everywhere and became most famous Polish act worldwide – Witching Hour

Devastating Enemy - The Fallen Prophet CD Modern Melodic Death Metal
Devastating Enemy - The Fallen Prophet CD Modern Melodic Death Metal
Devastating Enemy was founded in early 2009. Although each and every member came from projects with entirely different musical directions, it soon became clear, that the sound of Devastating Enemy should combine the most brutal aspects of extreme Death & Thrash Metal with the complex and yet catchy melodies of Modern Melodic Death Metal. Mindblowing Blastbeats meet Epic Guitar Leads. High-Speed Thrash Metal Riffs meet the most brutal Breakdowns. Devastating Enemy puts all these essences together, to create an unique, powerfull, melodic piece of Modern Death Metal. In February 2009 Devastating Enemy recorded their EP "The Gods of Reason" at the "Hinterhof Studios", Vienna. Working with experienced Metal-Producer Norbert Leitner, the CD perfectly represents the quality of Devastating Enemys songwriting. After playing club-shows and big festivals all over Europe, Devastating Enemy recordedtheir first full-length "THE FALLEN PROPHET". SO STAY TUNED AND BE AWARE OF THE AUSTRIAN MONSTER „DEVASTATING ENEMY“!

Their ability to stay true to their old school influences and very honestly embrace them, whilst not being afraid to throw down gut-wrenchingingly powerful Metal vocals, will set them apart from the standard blast happy, pig-squealing Deathcore trends of today.

After originating the "ROCKHARZ featured Artist" in 2010, and attending the Band Cast In Silence for half a year with song-releases, we, again, have a ROCKHARZ featured Artist so introduce to you
After originating the "ROCKHARZ featured Artist" in 2010, and attending the Band Cast In Silence for half a year with song-releases, we, again, have a ROCKHARZ featured Artist so introduce to you.
In 2009, we already were honoured to welcome Hannovers swashbucklers on our stage.
The Band is going to serve you a stirring thrash-cocktail of modern and oldschool. The recipe seems to be banging - their releases and amazing shows are very well-accepted and celebrated.
Last year, the Thrasher went on a 3-week lasting European tour with the giants of Overkill.
Lately after returning from a hot carribean-trip on the 70.000 tons-nutshell, the prosperous guys are what the world talks about.
But we do not want you to rest on tenterhooks any longer: Horns up for CRIPPER!
Month after month from now on, we gonna "metal up" your waiting period with five delicious videoclips taken directly from the Cripper-guys? life.
Wrap up your swimming trunks - This is the way to the first video!

ROTTREVORE is back!! (and signed to Xtreem Music)
ROTTREVORE is back!! (and signed to Xtreem Music)
XTREEM MUSIC is incredibly proud to announce the signing of recently reformed legendary US masters of the heaviest Death Metal ROTTREVORE!!
Over the past 16 years a lot has happened with Chris Weber (vocals/ guitarist), Chris Free (bass) and Christian Easley (drums). The band was on a hiatus for almost all of the years from Dec 1995 - Dec 2010. The unreleased tracks, which there are 10 of them, were actually preserved by Chris Weber and were only recently tapped into to reconstruct in Dec 2010. Four of those songs are now going to be recorded and they have the old feel from back when with a new modern feel for today. They have the old school chainsaw guitar rhythms, which they are known for, but also a more technical and of course heavy approach to ensure that they keep the heart of ROTTREVORE alive.
Over the years Chris Weber had pursued instrumental solo projects, Chris Free had played bass for a few bands, very technical ones to say the least and Christian Easley had started his own band, Pulsepherion in 1999 which lasted until 2005.
ROTTREVORE have now reformed and have been pushing themselves to the limit to still bring you the some of the heaviest music ever made. Through musical progression and the likeness to chainsaw guitars, distorted bass, guttural vocals and thunderous drums, they are now working on releasing their first 4 song mini CD release since 1993. The recording for them will be handled by no other than Erik Rutan at his own of Mana Recording studios in St. Petersburg, Florida. The recording dates are scheduled for late March 2011 and the release should be in late summer, early fall.
The mini CD which will have 4 songs, is entitled "Blind Sided Attack" and will also have other song titles such as "Hung by the Eye Sockets", "Defy Majority", "Overcome With Hate" and the title track "Blind Sided Attack". They range from slow, mid tempo to extreme fast parts, but still has the ROTTREVORE sound and "Destructive Earth Shattering Eruption" from within.
They are scheduled to play in Buffalo, New York with a variety of bands, to include Kam Lee, from Massacre fame, on July 16 2011. This will be the first live show from the band and will also be the new beginning for them also for years to come. Soon we'll be adding new info about the new recording as well as news about the band on their official MySpace: www.myspace.com/rottrevore

XTREEM MUSIC est? incre?blemente orgulloso de anunciar el fichaje de los recientemente formados maestros americanos del m?s pesado Death Metal, ROTTREVORE!!
Durante los ?ltimos 16 a?os, mucho ha acontecido con Chris Weber (voz/guitarra), Chris Free (bajo) and Christian Easley (bater?a). La banda estuvo en un hiato durante casi todos ?sos a?os desde dic. 1995 a dic. 2010. Los temas in?ditos, de los cuales hay 10, fueron preservados por Chris Weber han sido recientemente recuperados para su reconstrucci?n en dic. 2010. Cuatro de ?sos temas van a ser ahora grabados y poseen el viejo sentimiento de anta?o junto a un toque m?s actual. Tienen ?sos ritmos cortantes de la vieja escuela por los cuales son conocidos, pero tambi?n una direcci?n m?s t?cnica y por supuesto m?s pesada para asegurarse de que mantienen vivo el coraz?n de ROTTREVORE.
En ?sos a?os, Chris Weber ha estado metido en proyectos musicales individuales, Chris Free toc? el bajo en algunas bandas, bastante t?cnicas por cierto y Christian Easley empez? su propia banda Pulsepherion en el '99 que termin? en el '05.
ROTTREVORE se han reformado y se han han llevado a s? mismos hasta el l?mite para traerte una de las m?sica m?s pesadas jam?s hechas. A trav?s de una progresi?n musical as? como guitarras despedazadoras, bajos distorsionados, voces guturales y atronadores bater?as, ahora se encuentran trabajando en su primer MCD de 4 temas desde 1993. La grabaci?n de los mismos ser? llevada a cabo ni m?s ni menos que por Erik Rutan en en sus propios Mana Studios en St. Petersburg, Florida. Las fechas de grabaci?n est?n previstas a finales de Marzo de 2011 y su edici?n deber?a ser para finales de verano o principios de oto?o.
El mini CD se titula "Blind Sided Attack" y contendr? otros temas con t?tulos como "Hung by the Eye Sockets", "Defy Majority", "Overcome With Hate" y el tema que da nombre "Blind Sided Attack". Van desde partes pesadas y medios tiempos, hasta extremas partes r?pidas, pero conservando el sonido de ROTTREVORE con ?sa "Destructive Earth Shattering Eruption" desde el m?s all?.
Tienen previsto tocar en Buffalo, New York con varias bandas m?s, incluyendo a Kaam Lee de Massacre para el 6 de Julio de 2011. ?sta ser? la primera actuaci?n de la banda as? como un nuevo comienzo para ellos, esperando que dure varios a?os. Pronto iremos ampliando informaci?n sobre la nueva grabaci?n as? como novedades en la banda en su MySpace oficial: www.myspace.com/rottrevore

New Issue of a Metal Hammer
Metal Hammer, still only ВЈ4.25 for 130 pages of heavy metal!
So you love BRING ME THE HORIZON? They’re on the cover. So you hate BRING ME THE HORIZON? We tied Oli to a post and shot arrows at him – something for everybody! On this month’s stunning new cover, we interrogated the most ferociously debated band in metaldom, and we’ve got the kick-ass interview to prove it.
We also get clean with A DAY TO REMEMBER (not in a drug sense!), go wild with AMON AMARTH and hit the high seas for 70,000 Tons Of Metal – the tropical heavy metal cruise featuring the likes of SAXON, FEAR FACTORY and TESTAMENT. Well bonks.
WITHIN TEMPTATION explain their new concept album cum comic cum movie, DARKEST HOUR list their craziest tour stories (and believe us, they’re unbelievable!) and we detail everything you need to know about ‘DJENT’ – which means speaking to TESSERACT, MESHUGGAH and listing the essential Djent names that you must know!
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE’S Matt Tuck walks us through his life story, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY big man ZAKK WYLDE gives as good as he gets in the Spanish Inquisition and MAX CAVALERA explains the albums that make him proud, horny and break the speed limit.
From the cutting edge we speak to TRAP THEM, MISS MAY I, THE TREATMENT, JETTBLACK and we barely survive a day on the road with THE DEFILED.
Also in the mag: FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND, SAXON, ONE MINUTE SILENCE, IRON MAIDEN, SYLOSIS, THE HAUNTED, ROB ZOMBIE, MURDERDOLLS, DEICIDE, GRAVEYARD, BURZUM and many more!
And don’t forget that we are giving away two CDs! CD one is the next in our series of Global Metal compilations with bands from India, Turkey, Botswana, Colombia and more! The second CD is the entire brand new debut album from ROMEO MUST DIE (featuring former members of STAMPIN’ GROUND).

Iced Earth: VOCALIST MATT BARLOW RETIRES FROM THE BAND, RELEASES EMOTIONAL STATEMENT
Long-time vocalist Matt Barlow has retired from Iced Earth.
In his heartfelt statement, Barlow cites his commitment to his family and the need for Iced Earth to tour more as the reasons for his retirement; however, he has committed to perform with Iced Earth on all 2011 European festival dates, which will be his last with the band.
Matt Barlow’s official statement is as follows:
“Brothers and Sisters,
“Let me begin by saying how much of an honor it has been to share my time in Iced Earth with Jon and the guys…and with all of you! Since my return to the band in 2007, it has truly been extraordinary. I have had the opportunity to travel the world and see old friends and meet new ones. Though we had originally thought that the Iced Earth touring schedule would be very limited, we were able to play our fair share of concerts.
“During that time we were also able to have a live DVD produced [the forthcoming Festivals of the Wicked]. However, due to the rapidly changing music industry, it has become increasingly clear to recording artists that the only way to keep a band viable and to truly reach its potential is through live performances. That means that a band must reach out to new regions of the globe and become pioneers for their own livelihood. Since 2007, Jon and I have always had the best intentions for the future of Iced Earth, and we still do. However, given the band’s projected touring schedule, Iced Earth’s future and mine must now take separate paths.
“On my departure from Iced Earth in 2003, I made a commitment to my wife and to the idea that we would start, and raise, our family together. Two years later, my first child was born and two years after that, my second. My youngest son was born about a week before Jon asked me to return to Iced Earth. It was a very exciting and emotional time for all of us, but we were all clear on our intentions. It is apparent to us now that regardless of our belief at that time, time can change an intended outcome. In this instance, I hope that change will not be regarded as a bad thing, but rather as a necessary part of evolution.
“Jon and the band must venture into new realms to continue to grow Iced Earth. I commend him for his ideals and wish nothing but to share in his vision. I know that this is not the last time Jon and I will work together, but it will be my last endeavor with Iced Earth. Iced Earth is a name and force of its own. It has been very good to me and has allowed me to live a dream that others would give most anything for. I have been truly blessed to share this experience with everyone. I will continue to support Jon and Iced Earth in every way. I will also continue to create and perform in my own capacity.
“These next months will prove to be a very emotional time for me. I am extremely happy to be able to share the experience with Jon, Brent, Freddie, Troy and the Iced Earth family. I am proud to know them and honored that they consider me their friend. It is going to be phenomenal to share the love of this music during several summer festivals and I know that it will be a time we will never forget.
“Please consider all that I have brought forth and all of Jon’s offerings before passing judgment on the future of Iced Earth. This band has always strived to give its listeners the very best and I know that Jon, as always, will continue to lead that charge.
“To Iced Earth and all of you…I wish you the very best!!!
- Matt”
Band founder and leader Jon Schaffer reacted to his friend’s decision with equal parts sadness and praise.
“I knew Matt wrestled with this for a long, long time,” said Schaffer. “It wasn’t an easy decision for him. But I love him dearly and I can’t fault his reasons.”
Schaffer continued: “Matt is one of the most sincere people I know, and one of the most talented. His departure deeply saddens me, but I hope all fans of Iced Earth will cut him some slack. I wish Matt well, respect him greatly, and I ask everyone else to do the same.”
With a new album in the works, and a world tour pending, Schaffer has already begun the search for a new vocalist.
“I have a few guys in mind,” said Schaffer. “And as you can imagine, it is a very important decision. One thing is for certain: we are not looking for a Matt Barlow ‘clone’ – we are looking for a front man that brings power and character of his own to the table. There’s only one Matt, and that era of the band’s history will always hold a special place in my heart.”
The band’s long-awaited 6-hour, three-concert live DVD Festivals of the Wicked is scheduled for release this spring.
The band recently announced a new summer festival date: Dong Open Air in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany, on July 15th.
With the Dong Open Air date confirmed, Iced Earth will play a total of six summer festivals, including: Wacken, Graspop, Rock am Härtsfeldsee, Ilosaarirock Festival in Joensuu, Finland on July 16th, and the Sweden Rock Festival on June 10th in Sölvesborg, Sweden.
More festival dates will be announced soon on the band’s official web site, MySpace, and Facebook pages.
Announcement of a new vocalist will be made through all social media outlets as soon as a decision is made.

However, due to the rapidly changing music industry, it has become increasingly clear to recording artists that the only way to keep a band viable and to truly reach its potential is through live performances. That means that a band must reach out to new regions of the globe and become pioneers for their own livelihood. Since 2007, Jon and I have always had the best intentions for the future of Iced Earth, and we still do. However, given the band’s projected touring schedule, Iced Earth’s future and mine must now take separate paths.
“On my departure from Iced Earth in 2003, I made a commitment to my wife and to the idea that we would start, and raise, our family together. Two years later, my first child was born and two years after that, my second. My youngest son was born about a week before Jon asked me to return to Iced Earth. It was a very exciting and emotional time for all of us, but we were all clear on our intentions. It is apparent to us now that regardless of our belief at that time, time can change an intended outcome. In this instance, I hope that change will not be regarded as a bad thing, but rather as a necessary part of evolution.
“Jon and the band must venture into new realms to continue to grow Iced Earth. I commend him for his ideals and wish nothing but to share in his vision. I know that this is not the last time Jon and I will work together, but it will be my last endeavor with Iced Earth. Iced Earth is a name and force of its own. It has been very good to me and has allowed me to live a dream that others would give most anything for. I have been truly blessed to share this experience with everyone. I will continue to support Jon and Iced Earth in every way. I will also continue to create and perform in my own capacity.
“These next months will prove to be a very emotional time for me. I am extremely happy to be able to share the experience with Jon, Brent, Freddie, Troy and the Iced Earth family. I am proud to know them and honored that they consider me their friend. It is going to be phenomenal to share the love of this music during several summer festivals and I know that it will be a time we will never forget.
“Please consider all that I have brought forth and all of Jon’s offerings before passing judgment on the future of Iced Earth. This band has always strived to give its listeners the very best and I know that Jon, as always, will continue to lead that charge.
“To Iced Earth and all of you…I wish you the very best!!!
- Matt”
Band founder and leader Jon Schaffer reacted to his friend’s decision with equal parts sadness and praise.
“I knew Matt wrestled with this for a long, long time,” said Schaffer. “It wasn’t an easy decision for him. But I love him dearly and I can’t fault his reasons.”
Schaffer continued: “Matt is one of the most sincere people I know, and one of the most talented. His departure deeply saddens me, but I hope all fans of Iced Earth will cut him some slack. I wish Matt well, respect him greatly, and I ask everyone else to do the same.”
With a new album in the works, and a world tour pending, Schaffer has already begun the search for a new vocalist.
“I have a few guys in mind,” said Schaffer. “And as you can imagine, it is a very important decision. One thing is for certain: we are not looking for a Matt Barlow ‘clone’ – we are looking for a front man that brings power and character of his own to the table. There’s only one Matt, and that era of the band’s history will always hold a special place in my heart.”
The band’s long-awaited 6-hour, three-concert live DVD Festivals of the Wicked is scheduled for release this spring.
The band recently announced a new summer festival date: Dong Open Air in Neukirchen-Vluyn, Germany, on July 15th.
With the Dong Open Air date confirmed, Iced Earth will play a total of six summer festivals, including: Wacken, Graspop, Rock am Härtsfeldsee, Ilosaarirock Festival in Joensuu, Finland on July 16th, and the Sweden Rock Festival on June 10th in Sölvesborg, Sweden.
More festival dates will be announced soon on the band’s official web site, MySpace, and Facebook pages.
Announcement of a new vocalist will be made through all social media outlets as soon as a decision is made.

In his heartfelt statement, Barlow cites his commitment to his family and the need for Iced Earth to tour more as the reasons for his retirement; however, he has committed to perform with Iced Earth on all 2011 European festival dates, which will be his last with the band.
Matt Barlow’s official statement is as follows:
“Brothers and Sisters,
“Let me begin by saying how much of an honor it has been to share my time in Iced Earth with Jon and the guys…and with all of you! Since my return to the band in 2007, it has truly been extraordinary. I have had the opportunity to travel the world and see old friends and meet new ones. Though we had originally thought that the Iced Earth touring schedule would be very limited, we were able to play our fair share of concerts.
