CANNIBAL CORPSE: Reigning Kings of Death Metal set to release twelfth studio album TORTURE!

Artwork, track listing and first single revealed!

America's reigning kings of brutality, CANNIBAL CORPSE, will unleash their twelfth studio offering on March 9th/12th via Metal Blade Records in Europe. Aptly titled Torture, the follow-up to 2009's Evisceration Plague offers up 12 tracks of maniacally precise, soul-searing death metal. Torture was again produced by Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan at his own Mana Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as well as Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, and features the maniacal cover art by longtime CANNIBAL CORPSE artist, Vincent Locke, viewable HERE.

While Torture marks the latest progression in the band's sound, it also witnesses a return to what drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz accurately terms "the frenzied attack of Butchered At Birth (1991) or Tomb Of The Mutilated (1992)," infusing the band's advanced musicianship with the raw savagery that haunted their earlier releases, and in the process conceiving the definitive CANNIBAL CORPSE record.

Adds bassist Alex Webster on the outcome of the record: "We're extremely happy with how Torture turned out. Erik Rutan did an amazing job with the production, and the songwriting and performances may be our strongest yet. We can't wait until our fans get to hear the whole thing!"

Witness the gutting sounds of Demented Aggression the band's first single, at the official CANNIBAL CORPSE landing page, at THIS LOCATION.

Torture Track Listing:
01. Demented Aggression
02. Sarcophagic Frenzy
03. Scourge of Iron
04. Encased in Concrete
05. As Deep As the Knife Will Go
06. Intestinal Crank
07. Followed Home Then Killed
08. The Strangulation Chair
09. Caged…Contorted
10. Crucifier Avenged
11. Rabid
12. Torn Through

As a precursor to the release, CANNIBAL CORPSE will perform a special one-off show at the Culture Room in West Palm Beach, Florida on January 22nd then head to the seas to take part in this year's edition of the 70,000 Tons Of Metal Cruise. The band will get a short break before a near month-long march through Europe on the Full Of Hate 2012 tour with labelmates Behemoth. Check the full European touring schedule:

BOLT THROWER - "Pay No More than £5.99!" Boltfest fees will go to charity!

BOLT THROWER have announced that all money from their upcoming Boltfest anniversary show at The Forum, London on April 7th will go to charity.

"Obviously you can't charge people to come to your own birthday party, so as soon as we came up with the idea for Boltfest, we decided we should pay all the costs for the event ourselves. We also wanted to use Boltfest as an opportunity to do some good, and turn it into something more than just another show. So we've decided to ask everyone to donate £5.99 to charity if they want to come to the party. This way, with your help, we hope Boltfest will raise £10,000 for a good cause!

The charity we've chosen is Teenage Cancer Trust* http://www.teenagecancertrust.org/. We're sadly among the millions whose lives have been affected by this devastating illness, and have seen first-hand the work charities like Teenage Cancer Trust do, and the difference it makes in those difficult times, so we're very happy to be able to support this deserving charity.

Tickets are limited to 1800 and can be bought at the HMV Ticket shop:
http://www.hmvtickets.com

There'll be no service charge, as the HMV Ticket Shop has generously waived these extra costs for this special show. This way ALL the proceeds from the event (minus obligatory 3% PRS) will go to TCT".

*Teenage Cancer Trust is a registered charity, no. 1062559 (England & Wales) and SCO39757 (Scotland).

The Last Caress of Light was recorded at Foel Studios in Wales at the end of August 2010 with producer Chris Fielding. The result are eight tracks of dark, stormy, epic Celtic Metal with which mix the melancholy and atmosphere of Irish Folk with the epic might of heavy metal bands such as Warlord, Iron Maiden and Thin Lizzy. The album stands out from all else as a record of intense emotional power and honesty; holding the listener within a dark heavy metal storm and not letting go until the last chords have rung out.

Swedish Viking Metallers KING OF ASGARD about to record new album in March 2012!

Swedish Viking Metallers KING OF ASGARD made an astonishing impact on the scene with their debut album Fi'mbulvintr, released in 2010. After playing a bunch of festivals and club shows in 2010 and 2011, KING OF ASGARD are fully busy in writing the follow-up album!

The writing process is in its finishing stages even though there is more to be done and more to be polished. The recording will once again be held at the Sonic Train Studios with engineer Andy LaRocque.

Comments the band: "We're glad to get back there in early March and to get some new stuff on tape. This also being the first time recording with Lars on guitar. The material for this coming release is a natural step forward for KING OF ASGARD. It differs quite a lot though the foundation of our musical roots still are very present. A natural progression of the sounds on 'Fi'mbulvintr'! Song titles include 'Gap OfGinnungs' and 'Plague-ridden Rebirth'!"

In other news KING OF ASGARD are confirmed for the Ragnarök Festival taking place April 13-14 in Lichtenfels, Germany.

MALEFICE to record next Jägermeister Ice Cold Session with Marcus Hahnemann!
Jägermeister have just announced details of their next 'Ice Cold' Studio Session, where rock bands and icons meet for the first time in a recording studio and 'break the ice' by working on a track together.

The next 'Ice Cold' Studio Session will feature British heavy metal band MALEFICE and football legend Marcus Hahnemann and will take place at London's famous Strongroom Studios on January 17th.

Marcus Hahnemann, US international goalkeeper ("Best goalkeeper in the world" – 2009/2010 Castrol Performance Index) who is currently playing for Everton is a well known heavy metal fan but this will be the first time he has ever taken his passion for metal into a recording studio.

Marcus Hahnemann said: "Today I have come down to London for the Arsenal game. Getting ready for the game always includes some heavy rock to get me going. But I can't stop thinking about when I am coming back down here in a few weeks to record with Malefice! So hopefully my love of music and their love of football with translate to a really cool track!"

Reading band MALEFICE are one of the leading exponents of modern British heavy metal and released their album Awaken The Tides to critical acclaim earlier in the year.

Vocalist, Dale Butler commented: "We're really stoked to be recording a special track with Marcus Hahnemann. Given that before every game he listens to Five Finger Death Punch or Slipknot to 'get himself psyched' for the game has to be a pretty good indicator of where his musical tastes are! We even have a track 'Outnumbered/Outgunned' on our album 'Awaken The Tides' which is all about that rush of adrenaline you get when you're with your mates at the terraces in the away end on a Saturday afternoon, so this collaboration of Football and Metal is gonna be something you won't want to miss"

The collaboration will be streamed exclusively on the Jägermeister UK Facebook page from February 1st 2012 ( http://www.facebook.com/jagermeisteruk) as well as photos and extended footage of the recording process.

Awaken the Tides is out now on Metal Blade!

PRIMORDIAL to embark on European Paganfest tour in March!

Irish Pagan Metallers PRIMORDIAL will be co-headlining the Paganfest tour 2012 kicking off in Oberhausen, Germany the 16th of March 2012!

Comments PRIMORDIAL singer A.A. Nemtheanga: "Never say never right? So we announce our participation in next March's Paganfest festival tour across Central Europe. Anyone who has read any of my various ramblings and musings over the last year or two will know my feelings about the current state of club touring and the industry in general. It's an ugly business but we are definitely ugly enough and getting uglier every year so strangely enough the stars aligned and the dates fell into place for us. Anyone who knows anything about Primordial knows how hard it has become for us to commit to lengthy touring as the years go by. The window of opportunity represents possibly the only opportunity we will have to do a longer tour for 'Redemption' across Europe so as they say…needs must and better the devil you know. Never as I say say never.

Regardless of the fact that the general tone of this tour is a little different. It has a more pronounced mix of light and shade. We have our Icelandic brethren Solstafir taking part which I would have thought alongside ourselves should sweeten the deal for those who may feel the pagan/heathen festival tour holds nothing for them, Romanian shamans NeguraBunget also filling out the darker quotient of the tour. Heidevolk stand firm for proud old values and having taken part in Eluveitie's acoustic album personally my feeling on those guys and girls should be apparent! I support them and the cultural significance they represent. I'm not here to sound the rallying cry for a dying venture (i.e touring) or sound the death knell for Primordial club touring we are simply taking part, we have some interesting and new things planned and the tour has some light and shade, which may be difficult for some people to take but this is how it is. Of course some territories are missed and we apologise for this but this is a mixture of market forces and pragmatism and unfortunately nothing to do with us, we hope to fill in the blanks over time. Bottom line, Primordial is touring….this is the most important fact and you know what you are gonna get…blood sweat and fire so see you on the field…"
