THE RED CHORD to tour with Converge!
Boston Massachusetts own, THE RED CHORD are set to hit the road with Converge and Genghis Tron starting March 30th in Worcester, MA with Baroness and Coliseum on select dates. Dubbed the Lions for Lambs tour, this run of 30+ dates showcases some of the most talented acts in metal today.

To say THE RED CHORD has been busy touring since the release of Prey for Eyes is a gross understatement. The band hit the road a month before the album came out and hasn’t let up since. Not even a year into the release of their critically acclaimed album Prey for Eyes and the band has already toured the US multiple times and hit Europe with label mates The Black Dahlia Murder and Job for a Cowboy. And now the band has been confirmed for this summers MAYHEM FESTIVAL, which sees the band playing with metal heavyweights Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce, Mastodon, and Machine Head just to name a few.

PSYOPUS to tour with Today is the Day!
Rochester New York’s very own Tech-metal madmen of PSYOPUS will be hitting the road with Today is the Day, Mouth of the Architect, Complete Failure, and more starting on March 14th in Nashville, TN. Crushing and outlandish yet perfectly concise, PSYOPUS gives us a glimpse into the calamity and anguish of a tortured psyche. Both eccentric and unprecedented, Psyopus may be Steve Vai's answer to tech-metal, coalescing equal parts metallic grindcore and speed metal mixed with all-out shred.

HAIL OF BULLETS ready to enter the studio!
HAIL OF BULLETS will enter Excess studios in Rotterdam, Holland in February to begin recording their debut album for a May release via Metal Blade Records.

Comments drummer Ed Warby: "Yesterday we had our last band rehearsal before we enter the studio. Worked out some final arrangements and played the last two songs we wrote for the first time. One is the epic closer to the album (we'll have fun building this one up in the studio), and another is the proposed bonus track; a groovy beast of a tune that actually has a dual guitar solo in it. Martin couldn't attend, so we'll leave the vocal fine-tuning for the studio. I'm also working on a nice, moody intro for the album. Some strings, some bombs... it's turning out a lot cooler than I expected; God bless ProTools! Meanwhile our creative department is hard at work on putting together the artwork, it's starting to look very promising indeed. And finally we're close to securing a U.S. deal... more information will follow shortly."

HAIL OF BULLETS' entire four-song promotional CD is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

THE OCEAN looking for live cello and/or viola player!
The Berlin, Germany collective THE OCEAN is recruiting new musicians! “We are looking for a long-term live cello player for upcoming tours in Europe and the US and possible future recording sessions.

What we're looking for is a skilled musician with good intonation; someone who can read sheet music and has classical training but also the rock / metal background and understanding that is inevitable in order to enjoy long tours and life on the road - ideally, someone who can play both cello and viola and switch between these instruments.

As much as we love acoustic instruments, our past experiences have taught us that in a live environment the only thing that works is an E-cello. If you're interested or know anyone who might be, please write an email to info@theoceancollective.com.”
