We are extremely proud to announce that the newest Behemoth album, Evangelion turned gold in Poland! The album had its premiere on August, 7th and debuted on the second place on the Polish charts. During the next 3 weeks the album was located at no. 1 in Poland.

Front man, Nergal comments: “Wow…big fuckin’ WOW! What else can I say? This is a HUGE day for Behemoth. From the bottom of our hearts we’d like thank all the people who bought the record and made it happen! Also massive thanks go to Mystic Prod. in Poland for giving us so much support and strength! You are more than awesome! Now we are stuck somewhere in the Austrian mountains, the tour is doing great even though most of us are battling with the flu. I’m on antibiotics and steroids so I can’t even celebrate tonight with the bottle of Jack D. in my hands…I just hope some of you can do it for me? Haha…Once again, thank you for all the support! Cheers!”

Evangelion also achieved a great success in the US, where it debuted at #55 on the Billboard Top 200, #5 on the Billboard Hard Music Albums and #6 on the Billboard Independent Albums.

SIX FEET UNDER unveils track listing to GRAVEYARD CLASSICS 3!
Tampa, FL’s kings of groove laden death metal SIX FEET UNDER are back with their 3rd installment of the band’s cover series, Graveyard Classics 3, due out on Metal Blade Records January 19th 2010. Graveyard Classics 3 was recorded at D.O.I. Digital Audio in Tampa, FL, was mixed at Audiohammer Studios by Mark Lewis, and was produced by Chris Barnes.

Here’s what the godfather of gore and death Chris Barnes has to say about the band’s latest chapter in the Graveyard Classics chain:

“We went about picking the tracks for this installment of Graveyard Classics by really just trying to search out songs from early on in our musical upbringing, as well as tracks from when we were just fans of heavy music, before we started playing in a band. Once again choosing songs that have really stuck with us over the years, also choosing the songs that we felt would sound interesting when played in the SFU ‘death groove’ style.

Through the years of doing covers, many of our fans have inquired about us covering a Slayer or a Metallica song. It was really something we wanted to do for some time, those two bands being our biggest influences, as well as influencing a generation of death metal musicians.

To sum it up…this is a tribute to honor the great teachers that have influenced us as well as the world of metal we all belong to. We hope our fans will enjoy.“

Track listing for Graveyard Classics 3:
1. A Dangerous Meeting- Mercyful Fate
2. Metal On Metal- Anvil
3. The Frayed Ends Of Sanity- Metallica
4. At Dawn They Sleep- Slayer
5. Not Fragile- BTO
6. On Fire-Van Halen
7. Pounding Metal- Exciter
8. Destroyer- Twisted Sister
9. Psychotherapy- The Ramones
10. Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck- Prong

THE RED CHORD breaks the Billboard Top 200 with ‘Fed Through the Teeth Machine’!
Boston Massachusetts metalers THE RED CHORD have hit the Billboard Top 200 chart at #180 with the release of their new studio album, Fed Through the Teeth Machine. THE RED CHORD also debuted at #34 on the Billboard Hard Music chart and #6 on the Billboard Heatseeker chart. Fed Through the Teeth Machine cracked the Neilson Sound Scan charts in Canada coming in at #57 on the Independent charts and #70 on the Hard charts. THE RED CHORD has already completed a month’s worth of dates on a two and a half month trek with labelmates GWAR and JOB FOR A COWBOY and will continue touring the US and Europe in support of the band’s 4th studio album, 3rd for Metal Blade.

Here’s what press has had to say about THE RED CHORD’s latest offering Fed Through the Teeth Machine:

“The Massachusetts quartet proves how forward-thinking a maligned subgenre can sound when the masters reclaim it…Frontman Guy Kozowyk sounds as feral as ever, barking typically batshit-weird lyrics that target everything from the economy to schizophrenia to, er, professional wrestling. Meanwhile, guitarist Mike ‘Gunface’ McKenzie proves his songwriting mettle (he wrote nine of the album’s 12 tracks), scrawling bizarre lines and textures over a locomotive-force rhythm section that leaves scant room to move. Even the breakdowns reveal advanced concepts of rhythm and texture - that’s a lead many of the Red Chord’s peers could stand to follow.” 4/5 stars, Alternative Press

“The foursome’s fierce attack is as brutal as ever…what could well be a bunch of noise in the hands of lesser headbangers is intricate and engrossing on Teeth Machine, whether it’s the twisting tempo shifts of ‘Demoralizer’ or the blazing twin guitar attacks on ‘Hymns and Crippled Anthems’.” Revolver Magazine

“…there’s a definite stamp of intent on Fed Through the Teeth Machine; there are more dynamics, more variety, a wider swath of sound being used in conjunction with the band’s brand of grind/death/core. Opener ‘Demoralizer’ is an excellent grinder with solid rhythms and a smooth integration of breathy string bends that are almost psychedelic. The next track, ‘Hour of Rats,’ utilizes a unique scalar shuffle with equal amounts melody and crunch. There are moments when Fed Through is angrier than a hornet’s nest, faster than Usain Bolt with diarrhea, and weird as that guy talking to himself on the street corner, but still as smart as a college professor and groovier than the skin around grandma’s eyes.” Decibel Magazine 8/10

Fed Through The Teeth Machine is faster and is more straightforward, but it’s hardly a compromise. Instead, it’s their best since Fused Together in Revolving Doors.” SputnikMusic.com

The Red Chord don’t make background music. Like Pig Destroyer or Converge, The Red Chord’s music is novelistic and impressionistic; you probably won’t be able to fully wrap your head around what you’ve just heard after a single listen. Teeth requires your full attention. Guy Kozowyk remains one of modern metal’s great poets; his lyrics alone demand that you engage with the music…If Jaws listened to metal before he tooth-raped some poor girl’s innards, this is what I think he’d listen to – this is hunter’s music” MetalSucks.net

“Mike ‘Gunface’ McKenzie is the album’s real all-star, and I’ll take as much of his playing as I can get, thank you very much. He sounds more nimble than ever, and while I’ve always really dug his solos, he’s stepped up his game here – they all absolutely slay.” MetalSucks.net

“These guys take great pride in not only blowing your mind with their superior musicianship, but with their highly imaginative lyrical content. Do yourself a favor Fango-fiends and pick up FED THROUGH THE TEETH MACHINE. You won’t be disappointed.” 4.5/5 skulls, Fangoria.com

The Red Chord cranks out twelve tracks that blur the line between grind, deathcore, and death metal. The album oozes intensity, as every second seems more frantic than the next…After four albums, The Red Chord has hit their peak with Fed Through The Teeth Machine. The songwriting is strong and the band has finally found their creative stride…Trimming the excess fat off of Prey for Eyes and sticking to what brought them to the upper tier of the grind/death scene was the smartest move the band could possibly make.” About.com

"…outright humiliating the competition. From scathing opener ‘Demoralizer’ through to the disc's final seconds, there's not a moment wasted, offering quality control most groups spend a hell of a lot more than three records honing. A javelin toss ahead of the pack, Fed Through the Teeth Machine shreds, plain and simple." Exclaim.ca

“from a musical standpoint, this is as strong as The Red Chord has ever sounded.” Hellbound.ca

Fed Through the Teeth Machine is a capable and well-executed grindcore record from a band that understands what the genre is all about.” CraveOnline.com

“Each track on this album is different, but what coheres them into one whole is the unity of the band’s vision, their intelligence, ingenuity, and a great deal of humor which gives an extra layer of meaning to their amazing chops.” HardRockHaven.net

“Massachusetts’ tech-death/hardcore muck and grinders the Red Chord developed the template for their sound, only to watch a million other bands copy it. Big surprise, huh? Well, the joke’s on the newcomers, because The Red Chord still do it far better, which they prove beyond a shadow of doubt on their fourth album.” The Daily News McKeesport

“Even more incredible though is what guitarist Mike ‘Gunface’ McKenzie brings to the table; not only is his playing a veritable master class of styles and techniques, but every flourish of his plectrum is so tightly synchronized with Frickeisen’s octopus-like drumming, it sounds like what T-1000 would play if only he’d stop killing people and focus a little more on his music.” ThrashHits.com

“’Hour Of Rats’ is packed with layers that the Dillinger Escape Plan boys would be proud to produce, ‘Ingest The Ash’ would be a shoe-in for the next Guitar Hero game were it not guaranteed to give everyone content to click along to Weezer and the Beatles the worst headache of their lives, and if you can pick apart the intricacies of ‘Sleepless Nights In The Compound’ first time round you’re smarter than anyone at Planet Loud. Brilliant, belligerent, bitter and then some.” 9/10, Planet-Loud.com

The Red Chord is still leagues ahead of many of the other acts in the genre and it doesn’t look as though they are going to be slowing down any time soon.” CosmosGaming.com

“The bottom line is that this album is heavy and intelligently crafted, and each band member meets the high standard they set when they wrote the songs.” ExploreMusic.com

Metal Blade Records announces the signing of Montreal’s Barn Burner
From the metal loving city of Montreal comes one of the most killer riff machines this side of the 3 headed love child of Iron Maiden, Thin Lizzy and Fu Manchu. Barn Burner have been cruising around Canada over the past few years spreading their love of the riff, good times and are ready to spread their beard encrusted rock to the rest of the world.

“It’s a total honor to be working with such a ruling label; it is one of those crucial goals that you strive for as a band. May our filthy beards and hair grow long together over the years and continue to put out crushing albums!” - Kevin Keegan, Barn Burner

Metal Blade Records will be giving their debut album, Bangers, its official world wide release in 2010. The album has already received tons of praise from press from Canada to the UK from the album’s original release via New Romance for Kids Records.

“Up tempo stoner rock like a cross between The Atomic Bitchwax, Fu Manchu and The Fucking Champs…excellent musicianship.” Terrorizer Magazine

“If Steve Harris [yes, Iron Maiden's own] moved to Montreal and started eating poutine and joined Corrosion of Conformity I’d imagine it would sound a lot like this. It hasn’t left my constant rotation for weeks, and I presume it is there to stay.” AbsoluteUnderground.ca

“Montreal’s Barn Burner is one of the most impressive Sabbath-inspired bands we’ve heard in a long time. The band’s newest offering, Bangers (New Romance for Kids), is pure stoney mayhem. Comprised of heavy, minimal riffs, driving drums and major solos, this album will satiate any metal head’s yearning for primal rock.” ChronicYouth.com

Their debut record, Bangers, will be given its worldwide debut in early 2010. Keep your eyes peeled for tour dates to follow!

Barn Burner is:
Kevin Keegan - Guitar/Vocals
Marc Doucette - Guitar
Nick Ball - Bass
Taylor Freund - Drums

Lazarus A.D. joins up with Ensiferum’s “Tour From Afar”!
Lazarus A.D. has jumped on board for the upcoming Ensiferum tour! This is their first tour in the US since their trip to Japan to play Loud Park and will be followed by even more dates with Polish death metal legends, Vader!

Vocalist/bassist Jeff Paulick adds, “when the call came in about jumping on the Ensiferum tour. We set everything aside and rallied the troops. As you all know we have been home few months with our thumb up our asses (except for that little trip to Japan!), ever since Dan broke his hand. This is going to be a great tour an it’s hitting cities we have played in the past and new cities we have yet to play. We are looking forward seeing old can’t friends and making new friends. So you better break out the weed & beer - Lazarus A.D. is back on the mother f*$&^@# road.”

The Onslaught is out NOW and Lazarus A.D. is not a band to miss on tour! You can see their live video for Revolution right now on youtube.com/MetalBladeRecords.

“The thrash revival seems to have spawned two types of bands - retro sound-alikes and those who are looking to make the genre relevant now. Lazarus A.D. are one of the latter…” 4/5 stars, Revolver Magazine

“straightforward…engaging…Kill ‘Em All style climax.” Decibel Magazine

“These guys are the real deal…they sound like a hungrier Lamb of God.” The Daily News Mckeesport

“It’s one of those records that I listen to and can’t imagine why anybody wouldn’t like it…” MetalReview.com

An update from Shai Hulud!
At Both Ends, Facebook, Twitter, and Brain Surgery?

Shai Hulud’s Matt Fox checks in:
“Our pal Stephen's magazine, At Both Ends, is going out with a bang and a doozie (and a couple snazzy, colorful 7 inches) all at once. He was kind enough to interview us shy Huluds for his last hurrah. Thanks Stephen. No pound. Nice firm handshake. Check it out here: http://atbothendsmagazine.blogspot.com/

In other news, we have completely neglected our My Space page lately (Gee, look how prehistoric we are, we still think My and Space are two separate words!). Please forgive us. We've never been all that web-friendly to begin with, but now with the age of here's-how-I-feel-every-second-of-every-minute, see-what-I'm-doing-right-now-and-right-now-and-right-now, and someone-in-my-family-has-suffered-a-major-tragedy-that-shouldn't-be-posted-publicly-for-everyone-to-read-and-comment-on upon us…well, our laziness got the best of us and we adhered to the new standard of 140 characters or less, just much less often than the rest of the world whose lives are so exciting that they share their every intimate detail with us. We wish we were that exciting. For now we can just live vicariously through the rest of you while we sit in our boxers picking our noses (we actually Tweeeeeeeeeeted about that once. Gross, right?).

So, yeah, 140 characters or less. Not much to think about that way, and we're GREAT at not thinking. If you haven't yet, please check out the most mundane misanthropists (nice alliteration, eh?) on Twitter and Facebook. We're sure to bore you silly. But of course we'll be certain to inform you when we're really bumming because someone close to us is in the hospital having brain surgery. Please leave comments.

Become a fan on facebook
And…
Follow us on Twitter

Thank you kindly for your time, dear friends.

Love / Hate,
shy Huluds”
