Here’s what Guy Kozowyk, vocalist of The Red Chord had to say:
We are excited to be a part of this summer's Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival. We have spent the better part of the last year on tour with bands like Between the Buried and Me, The Black Dahlia Murder, Job for a Cowboy, Skeletonwitch and the Converge, Baroness, Genghis Tron tour we are on now, playing primarily small rooms, with the exception of the Cannibal Corpse/Metal Blade 25th Anniversary Tour. It is undeniable that the essence and heart of this band is definitely in those small venues where you can be up close and personal with the people who come out to see you. But this summer, as one of the only death metal oriented bands on this bill, we need to cram our music down the throats of new audiences in bigger venues and try to turn some heads to the dark side of metal. We were particularly interested in doing this tour because of the punk rock nature; tickets are reasonably price and the bands are allowed to sell their own stuff for whatever prices they want. That is pretty crucial to us since we genuinely hate the price matching garbage that often times come with these bigger tours that penalize the core fans that are used to seeing us on a cheaper tickets and getting our merch for considerably less. This also gives us the chance to meet people face to face at our merch area, which is pretty awesome because it is easy to feel detached from the show in that sort of environment.

Besides all that, we've known several of the bands for a long time and we're psyched to get back on the road with them and make some new friends. Make sure to come say hello at our tent this summer. We appreciate your support. We hope to see you this summer or at one of the remaining shows on our current tour with Converge. Thanks!

Adult Swim Presents Headlining Summer Tour for Metalocalypse’s Dethklok
Chimaira and SOILENT GREEN join animated death metal band on 28-city tour kicking off June 2; Tickets on sale beginning April 18 through Ticketmaster
This summer, Dethklok, the animated band from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse, hits the road on a 28-city headlining tour kicking off June 2 in Portland, along with two of metal’s top acts, Chimaira and Soilent Green. Tickets to the five-week Adult Swim Presents tour will go on sale to the general public starting Friday, April 18 through Ticketmaster, but a special pre-sale offer will be made available one week earlier to the most brutal Adult Swim fans. On Sunday, April 13, Adult Swim fans tuning in to Metalocalypse during the 12:00 a.m. (ET/PT) showing will be given a pre-sale password allowing them access to a customized Dethklok page on Ticketmaster’s website (http://www.ticketmaster.com/dethklok). Immediately after receiving the password, fans can purchase tickets, which range in price from $20 - $25. The password will also be made available to fans on AdultSwim.com (http://www.adultswim.com) beginning Monday, April 14.

This major tour starring the five band members from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse – Nathan Explosion, William Murderface, Skwisgaar Swigelf, Toki Wartooth and Pickles – comes on the heels of an incredibly successful fall for the band. In its first time touring, Dethklok opened for And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead in a 12-city college tour that did not disappoint. Released in conjunction with the tour was the band’s first album, Dethklok: The Dethalbum¸ which debuted at #21 on the Billboard Top 200 during its first week of release, making it the highest charting death metal album ever. More than 195,000 copies of Dethklok: The Dethalbum have been sold to date, and more than 120,000 copies of the Metalocalypse: Season 1 DVD from Warner Home Video have been sold since its release in October 2007.

Touring with Dethklok this summer are two of metal’s most illustrious bands. Chimaira is one of metal’s most hard working artists today. Hailing from Cleveland, OH, the band has been demonstrating their ferocity onstage for nearly 10 years. Revolver Magazine has stated that “Chimaira are part of an endangered species – a real metal band who aren’t who playing the genre because it’s trendy but because it’s what all the members have been doing in one incantation or another for over half their lives.” Chimaira’s fourth LP, Resurrection, is now available via Ferret Music. An infamous death-grind and sludge metal band from New Orleans, Soilent Green has seen its fair share of adversity during its two-decade-old history. Touted as "one of the ten most important hard and heavy bands" by Rolling Stone Magazine, the bands latest album, Inevitable Collapse In The Presence Of Conviction will be released in North America on April 15 by its new label, Metal Blade Records.

“I predict that this show will be, without a doubt, the best animated Death Metal tour in recorded history,” said Brendon Small, creator and most metal member of Dethklok.

Schedule for Adult Swim Presents Metalocalypse’s Dethklok with Chimaira and SOILENT GREEN is as follows:

Created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha, Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse follows the on and off-stage adventures of Dethklok, the undisputed greatest animated metal band in the galaxy with a true talent for creating the most death-defying music ever. Unfortunately for Nathan Explosion, William Murderface, Skwisgaar Swigelf, Toki Wartooth and Pickles, that’s about all they can do, period. Put them in front of a sold-out crowd of dedicated fans, and they’ll play so hard that the audience pukes their guts out, but give them a carton of milk and they’ll wash their long, lovely locks with it. New episodes from Metalocalypse’s second season will launch on Adult Swim in May.

BLACK MARKET ACTIVITIES SIGNS THE INDOMITABLE IRON SLOTH!
Black Market Activities is proud to announce the signing of the newest member to the BMA family, The Indomitable Iron Sloth.

The band, who hails from Vancouver, Wash., was once know as The Abominable Iron Sloth and has previously released an album with Goodfellow Records/Undergroove.

The Indomitable Iron Sloth’s previously announced EP will now be released as a full-length album and the release will be completely re-recorded.

“We have been huge fans of the band since the last record came out and we are extremely excited to work with the band,” Guy Kozowyk, BMA owner, said. “We are currently scheming ways to honor—or at least do something cool—for those who initially pre-ordered through their MySpace before BMA was involved.”

The band is as equally excited as Kozowyk about inking a deal with BMA:
"Trying to get this EP out has been a sizable pain in the ass so far. Since we recorded it last year we’ve written a few more songs that we think people might want to hear, so we're going to go back into the studio in the coming months….It really blows that it's taken so long, but hopefully we don't disappoint with the full length."
