ROB ZOMBIE AND JOEY JORDISON UNITE!

SLIPKNOT DRUMMER TO JOIN FORCES AND TOUR

WITH ROB ZOMBIE THIS SPRING AND SUMMER

New York, NY:  SLIPKNOT<http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Slipknot> drummer Joey Jordison<.http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/slipknot> will spend the spring and summer of 2010 pounding the skins for new labelmate Rob Zombie, who is embarking on a very busy touring schedule.

Zombie said, "Joey is an absolutely crushing drummer and I am thrilled to have him as part of the Zombie family. His amazing skills promise to take the live show to a whole new level of insanity." Jordison also commented, saying, "I am honored, proud and excited to announce that I have joined the ranks as the new touring drummer for Rob Zombie. I've been a fan of Zombie's since the beginning. I've toured with them and have always wanted to play for them.  When John 5 called me up to ask if I knew any drummers I could recommend,  I said, only half-jokingly, 'Yeah, me!"

Jordison is universally recognized as not only one of the best drummers in hard rock, but as one of the most talented skinsmen in music, period. He will be sitting behind the kit for several appearances and tours throughout the year, namely the "Gruesome Twosome"<http://www.gruesometwosometour.com/> tour, which features Zombie along with his longtime pal, Alice Cooper, which begins April 26 in Canada and runs through May 5 in Wyoming. Following that historic tour, Jordison will tour alongside Zombie as part of the 2010 Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival, which Zombie is co-headlining with Korn. That tour kicks off July 10 in Southern California and runs through August 14 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

"This show and set-list is mind blowing, and what better way to kick off than with the 'Gruesome Twosome' tour with horror-rock legend Alice Cooper," Jordison said. "I want to thank all the Slipknot fans for their support and the Rob Zombie fans for welcoming me in. The Demonoid Phenomenon is on its way!"

Jordison will make his debut with Zombie at the 2010 Revolver Golden Gods Awards<http://www.goldengodsawards.com/>, held on April 8, at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. Zombie will be closing out the evening's awards ceremony with what is sure to be a "must see" performance.

WELCOME TO THE GHOUL SHOW: HORROR ROCK
ICONS ROB ZOMBIE AND ALICE COOPER TO SHARE
STAGE FOR THE GRUESOME TWOSOME TOUR

(New York, NY) - It's a bill that fans of horror and hard rock could only dream of until now: Rob Zombie<http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/RobZombie/> and Alice Cooper sharing the stage for a night of theatrical rock n' roll madness.  For the first time ever, the "gruesome twosome" will play an exclusive limited run of North American tour dates beginning April 26th at the MTS Center in Winnipeg, MB.  Rob Zombie commented, "The dream or the nightmare comes true!  Me and The Coop have been talking about touring together for the last 15 years and finally the moment is here.  This will be without a doubt a Rock 'N' Roll Spooktacular for all the Cool Ghouls."  Alice Cooper added, "I'm looking forward to theses concerts with Rob.  It's sort of like Dracula Vs. Frankenstein.  We're like this generation's classic monsters.  When we're not onstage frightening audiences, we'll be backstage trying to scare each other."

Following the dates with Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie and longtime bandmates guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Tommy Clufetos will hit the road for an extensive North American trek to co-headline this year's Mayhem Festival<http://www.rockstarmayhemfest.com/mayhem/index.asp> (visit: www.robzombie.com<.http://www.robzombie.com> or www.myspace.com/robzombie<http://www.myspace.com/robzombie> or please see below for all tour dates).

It's been a busy year for multi-platinum hard rock artist and filmmaker Rob Zombie.  Zombie's brand new album HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 just debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart, marking his second Top Ten debut in 6 months.  The Zombie-helmed Halloween 2 landed at #3 at the box office in August, 2009 and went on to become one of the biggest horror movies of the year, grossing more than $37 million to date.  Zombie will make his television directorial debut with an episode of CBS' highly-rated show CSI: Miami set to air on Monday, March 1st at 10:00PM, EST.

With more than 15 million albums sold, 7 Grammy nominations, the helming of 5 major motion pictures and dozens of music videos under his belt, Rob Zombie is a force to be reckoned with in today's entertainment landscape.  Zombie's unique meld of horror and hard rock has influenced his sound as a musician, and more recently his vision as a director and writer.
Alice Cooper, the rock innovator generally credited with pioneering theatrics and bringing stagecraft to the rock idiom, has been a huge influence on successive generations of artists.  On tour with Rob Zombie, he will be performing his Theatre of Death production that he will subsequently take it on the road in North America and Europe throughout 2010.  He is backed in concert by longtime band members Damon Johnson and Keri Kelli (guitars), bassist Chuck Garric, and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso.  Alice is preparing to release a live Theatre of Death DVD, filmed in London late last year, and is currently in pre-production on a new album.
Alice Cooper is the host of Nights with Alice Cooper, produced and distributed by the United Stations Radio Networks.  Alice anchors 30 hours per week of original Classic Rock programming.  Alice's time slot reaches 1.1 million listeners (12+) each week, and his affiliates have a weekly reach of over 6 million listeners.

ROB ZOMBIE'S "HELLBILLY DELUXE 2" GRABS
#8 SPOT ON BILLBOARD TOP 200 ALBUM CHART GIVING
THE MULTI-TALENTED ROCKER/FILMMAKER HIS 2ND
TOP TEN DEBUT IN SIX MONTHS


(New York, NY) - Multi-platinum hard rock artist and filmmaker Rob Zombie's album HELLBILLY DELUXE 2, his first for new label home Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records, has debuted at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart with upwards of 48,500 units sold in its first week of release.  The album also takes the top spot on the Hard Music chart, arriving at #1.  HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 has been winning praise from press and fans alike.  The Los Angeles Times declared "HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 is Zombie's most consistently tuneful record to date," while USA Today referred to the album as "masterfully crafted."


This marks Zombie's second Top Ten debut in 6 months...the Zombie-helmed Halloween 2 landed at #3 at the box office in August, 2009 and went on to become one of the biggest horror movies of the year, grossing more than $37 million to date.  Zombie's sinister directorial vision is responsible for reviving the Halloween franchise: the first installment of Halloween debuted at #1 at the box office in 2007, breaking all Labor Day Weekend 2007 records and has since grossed an estimated $80 million worldwide.


HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 hits streets more than a dozen years after its predecessor HELLBILLY DELUXE, which established Rob Zombie as a solo artist after the demise of his cutting edge band White Zombie.  The album features all the demonic stylings for which Rob Zombie and his longtime bandmates guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and drummer Tommy Clufetos have come to be known.  Rob Zombie and crew will soon be hitting the road to co-headline this year's Mayhem Festival kicking off in San Bernadino, CA at the San Manuel Ampitheater on Saturday, July 10th (please see below for tour dates).


In other Rob Zombie news, the accomplished filmmaker will make his television directorial debut with an episode of CBS' highly-rated show CSI: Miami set to air on Monday, March 1st at 10:00PM, EST.  With more than 15 million albums sold, 7 Grammy nominations, the helming of 4 major motion pictures and dozens of music videos under his belt, Rob Zombie is a force to be reckoned with in today's entertainment landscape.  Zombie's unique meld of horror and hard rock has influenced his sound as a musician, and more recently his vision as a director and writer.

SLAYER, MEGADETH, TESTAMENT ANNOUNCE NEW DATES FOR THE "AMERICAN CARNAGE" NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
Canadian Carnage East Leg Now Confirmed to Begin Late July

Los Angeles, CA - February 1, 2010 -- Slayer and Megadeth are thrilled to announce the new, confirmed routing for the American Carnage North American Tour, which will commence with the rescheduled Canadian Carnage East dates in Quebec City on Friday, July 23. Slayer will then head to Europe for a run of festival dates, returning to kick off the American Carnage leg in Albany, NY on August 11. American Carnage will play 26 dates across the United States and Eastern Canada up to the Labor Day weekend, ending in Portland, OR on September 4. Testament will be Special Guest on all shows. Tickets purchased for the American Carnage shows when they first went on sale late last year will be honored for these rescheduled dates. Complete information regarding ticket sales can be found at www.slayer.net . www.megadeth.com . www.testamentlegiions.com

Due to venue availability and other conflicts, the shows originally scheduled in El Paso, Houston, Nashville, Duluth, and Louisville cannot be rescheduled at this time, and ticket holders may obtain refunds at point of purchase. However, new cities have been added to the American Carnage itinerary, with dates now scheduled in Cleveland, Kansas City, San Diego, and Sacramento. The confirmed, complete itinerary is below.

The American Carnage Tour, originally scheduled to take place in January and February, had to be put on hold due to Slayer's vocalist/bassist, Tom Araya's ongoing, minimally-invasive treatments for what was diagnosed as a Cervical Radiculopathy, an occupational hazard for the rocker who is known for aggressively swinging his long mane of hair while performing. Right after the first of the year, Araya made the difficult decision to undergo a surgical procedure, called an Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion, a relatively routine practice with an excellent recovery rate. That surgery took place early last week.

"The doctors said that Tom's surgery went very smoothly and was a resounding success," said Rick Sales, long-time Slayer manager. "He's home now, doing really well, and he said the numbness in his fingers had already diminished considerably."

Shortly after the surgery, Slayer's Kerry King received a text from Tom: "Awake and feeling good, actually whatever he did, it feels better."

The American Carnage Tour will mark the first time that Slayer, Megadeth and Testament will have toured the U.S. together since 1991's epic "Clash of the Titans" tour, making this truly a "must-see" event.

Slayer recently announced the rescheduling of its headline tour in the UK and Europe, and Megadeth and Testament are currently on tour together playing U.S. cities that will not be on the American Carnage itinerary.

Both Megadeth and Slayer will hit the road on July 23 in support of their most recent albums: Megadeth's 2009 album, ENDGAME, and Slayer's World Painted Blood, the band's 10th studio venture, which hit stores November 3, 2009. Testament's The Formation of Damnation: Special Tour Edition, will be released on February 23, 2010 with special unreleased bonus tracks.

Slayer and Megadeth have already massacred territories together outside of the U.S., first with four explosive dates in June 2009 across Western Canada - "Canadian Carnage" - the first time the bands had toured together anywhere in 18 years - and then six co-headlining "Carnage" dates in Australia followed last October.

According to various Canadian press outlets last summer: "It was a night of thrash impossible to trash..." "Tales about war, death, destruction, Satan, aliens and serial killers have never been so much fun..." "The two heavy metal heavyweights...went head-to-head on a level playing field. Both bands brought their 'A' game. And the results were anything but pretty - unless you include pretty freakin' loud and pretty freakin' awesome."

Slayer. The Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot wrote that Slayer is "one of the great American rock bands of the last 30 years, forget about genre." Indeed, few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, vocalist/bassist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo - bring to its live shows, having been named "Best Live Band" by numerous media outlets including Revolver, SPIN, and Metal Hammer. World Painted Blood offers a Slayer-ized point of view of our world - God's terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, the way-too-close proximity of world horrors that technology has brought us, and a chilling hypothesis of how the rest of the world might view America. The album was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. World Painted Blood was produced by Greg Fidelman who has spent time in the studio with Metallica, the Gossip, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Slipknot and others, and executive produced by long-time Slayer colleague Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project. One reviewer called the album "the heaviest, bloodiest and best album in almost two decades." World Painted Blood landed on boatloads of U.S. and International "Best of" lists for 2009, and N.A.R.A.S. saw fit to bestow its fourth Grammy nomination on Slayer - Best Metal Performance for the WPB track, "Hate Worldwide." For "American Carnage," Slayer's Tom Araya promises, "no ballads, no acoustic numbers, no slow tempos."

Megadeth. 2009 saw the release of ENDGAME, which has been heralded as Megadeth's best album in years. It's the record where it all comes full circle in a career that has not only set standards in hard rock and metal, but defined them. Megadeth's signature shredding and rousing lyrics are the hallmarks of ENDGAME, with vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine once again musing and making declarations about the world we live in, having named the album after a government document that should strike fear in the hearts of Americans! But that's Mustaine and Megadeth, using the vehicle of music to shake things up, to make a point and to rattle your brain, literally, figuratively and sonically. Revolver magazine said of ENDGAME, "One of their best albums." VH1's 'That Metal Show' deemed it "One of the metal albums of the year," and Popmatters said, "the record positively scorches with an intensity not heard since Rust in Peace." The band was also awarded the eighth Grammy nomination of its career for "Head Crusher," which serves as more proof that ENDGAME is quickly earning "essential" status in the Megadeth catalog. Megadeth will appear on the season premiere of VH1 Classic's "That Metal Show," which airs Saturday, February 6, at 11 PM EST. Megadeth has teamed with ILoveAllAccess.com to offer Ultimate Fan Packages. For more info, go to www.megadeth.com

Legendary thrash metal titans Testament, whose latest award-winning release (2008 Album of the Year, Metal Hammer's Golden God Award) The Formation of Damnation, displays them as the quintessential modern heavy metal band, whose experience and accumulated skill allows them to attack with reserves of anger, energy and finesse that make them more powerful than ever. Lead singer Chuck Billy says, "Uniting these bands is the heavy metal event of generations. We are so proud to be a part of it."

AUTEUR, FILMMAKER AND ROCK MUSICIAN ROB ZOMBIE BEGINS DIRECTING AN EPISODE OF "CSI: MIAMI" TODAY,

TO BE BROADCAST MONDAY, MARCH 1

This Marks the Director's First Foray Into Television

Filmmaker and musician Rob Zombie will bring his unique style of filmmaking to the streets of Miami on an episode of CSI: MIAMI, to be broadcast Monday, March 1 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.   The episode begins production today and is Zombie's television directorial debut.

 In the episode, the CSI team discovers that a listening device has been covertly planted at a crime scene, capturing a terrifying soundtrack of the murder and, possibly, the voice of the killer.  However, when it’s revealed the bug was planted by the team’s own Jesse Cardoza, the State’s Attorney tosses the taped evidence and uncovers accusations of evidence tampering by Jesse on a murder case in Los Angeles.  With the integrity of his team at stake, Horatio Caine and Eric Delko travel to Los Angeles to dig into that murder and clear Jesse’s name.   While in Los Angeles, Horatio find himself face to face with secrets from Jesse’s past and a dangerous element within the LAPD.

"As writers, we were really pushing to create an interesting backdrop that could lend to Rob Zombie's visual style," says Marc Dube, co-executive producer.  "We thought opening the episode at a macabre party, with Miami attendees all wearing stylized masks (a la "Eyes Wide Shut") would be a fun kick-off point for Rob do to what he does best -- conveying the cruel and creepy underbelly of humanity."

"I am very excited to be working on a show that has such an intense and unique visual angle on the classic crime drama formula and look forward to putting my own bizarre stamp on the world of CSI: Miami," says Zombie.

A prolific musician, Zombie has multiple gold and platinum records, sales of over 15 million albums worldwide, and has directed over 25 music videos.  His next album, “Hellbilly Deluxe 2,” will be released on Feb. 2nd.  His re-imagining of “Halloween” claimed the highest-grossing Labor Day weekend opening ever, followed by the 2009 success “Halloween 2.” His film accomplishments also include the critically acclaimed "The Devil's Rejects" and the cult classic "House of 1000 Corpses."  Zombie has made a distinct mark in the music and film worlds with his uniquely sinister point of view that has resulted in success in both arenas. 

CSI: MIAMI ranks among the top 20 programs, averaging 13.6 million viewers and continues to dominate its Monday (10:00-11:00 PM) time period in viewers and key demographics.

After receiving widespread critical acclaim for DOLOR: Lila | Book I, author Rick Florino will release DOLOR: Chrissy | Book II February 11, marking the second in the series of ten illustrated mystery/horror novellas.  A limited number of signed paperback copies of DOLOR: Chrissy will be available for $15 at www.BookOfDolor.com, with digital downloads available for only $5.  As an introduction to the series, Florino and his New American Deities production company also continue to offer the DOLOR: Lila download for free at www.BookOfDolor.com.  Limited edition signed and numbered physical copies of Lila are also available for purchase.        

With DOLOR: Chrissy, Florino--author of DOLOR: Lila | Book I, Do the Devil's Work for Him, founder of Ruin Magazine and Editor of ARTISTdirect.com--expands his foray into his true passion: fiction writing and the horror genre.  The text is exemplified by the bizarre, dark and dreamlike artwork of Kristel Lerman.  Says Florino: "Chrissy has one of my favorite scenes in the whole series, because it's so delightfully sick and twisted. Kristel's artwork gave those moments a violent vibrancy that's as undeniable and gorgeous as it is heartbreaking and horrific. She steeped every one of her drawings in blood, and the series shines even more because of it."

Here’s a short excerpt from Chrissy:

Rob is having a really bad day.

After getting stood up by a date, he leaves the Dolor Mall during a blizzard.  As he’s walking into the storm, a car suddenly sideswipes him out of nowhere, speeding off and leaving him covered in blood. Awakening in the hospital, Rob finds out from Officer Caleb Taylor that he’s in way more trouble than he thought.  However, things get really strange once Rob’s kidnapped from the hospital by someone too perfect and beautiful to trust…

"There's a certain evil that the story explores that's very prevalent during Lila but much more understated,” Florino reveals.  “The veil of what really is going on in Dolor begins to slowly lift with Chrissy. At the same time, Chrissy preserves the sardonic humor and social observations that made Lila strangely fun at all the right (and wrong) times.  If Lila was about the horror of unrequited love and losing control, Chrissy's concern is with loving the wrong one and how absolutely terrifying that can be.  There's something hypnotic about the horrific, and I'm just as entranced by it as my readers,” he concludes.

Fans can get a glimpse behind the scenes now through a special DOLOR: Chrissy video trailer hosted at http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/18663.

Meanwhile, DOLOR: Lila continues to receive accolades from the media.  Here’s a sample of the book’s critical acclaim thus far:

"Lila makes for a damn good read. It's creepy in spots, and madly melancholy in plenty of others. Rick Florino clearly understands the sensitivity behind the content, and manages to siphon frightening reality from the idea...outstanding piece of fiction."

--Matt Molgaard, Fangoria.com, November 16, 2009

"Horror fiction has put a few cities on the map: Castle Rock, Serenity Falls, Orangefield. Add Dolor to that list...It’s easy to get caught up in Florino’s tale, not only because it adheres to storytelling brevity, but also because it has a rock ‘n’ roll sensibility to it, dishing out details of drugs, sex and violence."

--Rod Lott, Bookgasm.com, November 2009

"A heartbreaking, horrifying and honest examination of a damaged psyche, true violence, drug addiction and love unreturned...a horror masterpiece..."

                                    --LAX Magazine, Winter 2009

"If the rest of the volumes are even half as good as Lila, we're in for a huge treat…A great start to what appears to be an even greater series..."

--BC, Bloody-Disgusting.com, December 5, 2009
“The style of the book is different and refreshing…DOLOR: Lila, grabs you and hooks you in, like a Cenobite on Holiday…you’ll want to finish it first and then sit there…in the dark…waiting for the 2nd book…CHRISSY. What this book has done to us is it’s taken us on a ride ala early X-Files…where you’re saying to yourself, ‘I think I know what’s going on here. Okay, maybe I’m not sure, but I think I know. I need to know more!’”

--Yvette Kelley, Shallow Graves Magazine, December 16, 2009                   

“Lila really just whets the reader’s appetite for the upcoming stories from the mysterious town of Dolor...I am looking forward to the forthcoming nine tales from the denizens, present and past, of Dolor and hope that all ten volumes may one day be published as one volume, much like Stephen King’s The Green Mile.  Author Rick Florino…has the chops to handle the almost Gothic atmosphere of his ambitious ten-part tale.”

                                    --Elaine Lamkin, DreadCentral.com, January 4, 2010

“DOLOR is right up Crypt Magazine's creepy crawly alley! Mental illness, forces beyond the grave, and downright evil as Hell! What more do you want?”

--David Necro, Crypt Magazine.com, January 11, 2010

Various musicians have also stepped forward to champion Lila, as evidenced below:  

"It's very refreshing to see a book that leads you one way, then takes you in a different direction. Great imagination, well-written characters, this book has it all. I look forward to the next chapter."        --Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour)

"I read Lila when I was on an 11 hour plane ride; I got sucked in really fast cause the words and illustrations were amazing. You know you like a story when you have hate or sympathy for the characters in it. Then I was just mad at Rick Florino cause he hasn't published the rest of the series and I had nothing to do for the other 10 hours."

--J-Dog (Hollywood Undead)

"Rick Florino has composed a strong, gripping, epic tale with DOLOR: Lila | Book I that made me want to read the next 9 parts of his DOLOR series right then and there.  It's very reminiscent of Stephen King. For anyone who is a fan of horror films or books or anything horror-related, check the book out!"                                                                        --Jeff Kendrick (Devildriver)

Look for DOLOR: Arielle │Book III this summer.

About DOLOR

In October 2009, Rick Florino opened up Dolor to the "real" world with his first novel DOLOR: Lila | Book I. At the beginning of Lila, FBI Agent Jeffries goes to Dolor to investigate a fire. The town's been burned to the ground. One lone house stands—charred to Hell on the outside, but fine on the inside. Within those walls, Jeffries finds ten small diaries. Each diary is written by a different denizen of Dolor, delving into some sort of darkness. The first diary is Lila | Book I. 

Lila is not just a story, it's an experience. The first book tells the tale of Officer Caleb Taylor. Caleb is going through Hell.  His daughter just drowned and his wife has disappeared without a trace.  However, something begins to stir him from beyond the grave.  It won't let him rest until he finds out the truth…

Enter the world of Rick Florino's DOLOR, you'll never be the same. Then succumb to the tales of Chrissy, Arielle, Decker, Cassie, Olivia, Orestes, Lucia, Sage and Helen. Nightmares are guaranteed.

About Rick Florino

At 19-years-old, upon graduating from Boston University Magna Cum Laude, Rick Florino moved to Los Angeles from Massachusetts to pursue his dream of working in the entertainment industry. He started working at New Line Cinema and freelancing for magazines such as Metal Edge, AMP and Lollipop. Constantly writing, he cultivated a unique style that was clever, vivid and highly eloquent. That style would fuel his 2006 creation, the bi-monthly hard rock publication Ruin Magazine. In 2007, Rick became an editor for ARTISTdirect.com, where he conducts interviews with A-list film and music talent for exclusive features—in print and on-camera. His words have appeared in publications including Inked Magazine, BPM Magazine, Revolver, Hit Parader, LAX Magazine, Shockhound.com, Craveonline.com, Bloody-Disgusting.com and many more. 

His first book, Do the Devil's Work for Him, came out in stores everywhere in June 2009. In support of the book, Rick was featured on No Good TV with members of Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver, System of a Down and Devildriver discussing the text. He was also featured on FOX News. The critically praised first book of the Dolor series, Lila, dropped on October 20, 2009.

About Kristel Lerman

Kristel Lerman speaks through her art. She conjures feelings with color, symmetry and a personal touch. Each piece that Kristel creates exudes tangible emotion, juxtaposing polar opposites in order to find a beautiful center in between.  She's able to tap into something real with every brush stroke and pencil sketch. Ultimately, Kristel makes art for everyone, transcending stylistic boundaries with a sense of limitlessness.

Born in Los Angeles, she's spent her entire life observing every facet of this cultural Mecca. From the surf-and-skate hedonism of Venice Beach to the chic, debonair Beverly Hills life, Kristel has channeled it all into a style that's unquestionably her own. Her art has even become etched into the city's fabric. In 2008, she hand-painted a vibrant mural on Main Street in Santa Monica. An ethereal psychedelic portrait, the mural captures the quintessential carefree '60s SoCal spirit with a new youthful energy. It's also been admired by millions. In addition to adorning the city itself, Kristel's art has received showcase placement at various L.A. tastemaker galleries.  

ANVIL TO HEAD TO L.A. FOR CRITICS' CHOICE AWARDS
"Anvil! The Story of Anvil" Nominated as Best Documentary
Trip Causes Cancellation of Baltimore, Rescheduling of New York Dates
"The Anvil Experience" Concert Tour to be 'All About the Music'

LOS ANGELES, CA - January 11, 2010 -- ANVIL, the Canadian heavy metal band whose "Cinderella" story, "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," is nominated for a Critics Choice Movie Award in the category of Best Documentary, will travel to Los Angeles to attend the awards presentation that will be held at the Hollywood Palladium this Friday, January 15. The rockumentary has been named one of 2009's Best Documentaries by a slew of film critics associations across the continent, including critics in Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, and Las Vegas, as well as the International Documentary Association, the Online Film Critics Society, and the National Society of Film Critics. It also made the Year End Top Ten lists in publications such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Newsweek, and Village Voice. The 15th Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards will be broadcast January 15 live on VH1 at 9PM ET/PT.

That's the good news.

The bad news is that the trip to Los Angeles means Anvil, who kicked off its "The Anvil Experience" North American tour in Cleveland, OH last week, will have to cancel its January 14 date in Baltimore, MD and the New York City date set for January 15. But, it's not all bad news as the New York date has been rescheduled to take place on Friday, March 19, still at The Gramercy Theatre, still with an 8PM show time. Tickets purchased for the 1/15 show will be honored on 3/19.

And there's more ANVIL tour news. Originally, "The Anvil Experience" concerts were going to open with a screening of the "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" documentary followed by the band playing a live set. However, according to Anvil's guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, "We've been so fortunate with the success of the film and then the DVD, so many people have already seen it, so we've decided that this tour is going to be all about the music, we're just going to play our set, and just ROCK with the fans. 'The Anvil Experience' will be an evening of pure, unadulterated rock'n'roll." Local bands will open the shows.

The 27-date concert tour - the band's first major tour in more than a decade - is in support of "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," as well as the band's latest album, This Is Thirteen which one rock critic called "Anvil's "best record in over two decades."

METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX
TO PERFORM TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY
The BIG FOUR Confirmed for SONISPHERE Poland and Czech Republic
More BIG FOUR Appearances at SONISPHERE Shows Planned

The world wide web has been abound with speculation on a possible 'BIG FOUR' tour for several months. Now, the UK/European SONISPHERE can exclusively reveal that METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will play together for the first time in history, in a move that will have metalheads across the globe frenzied with excitement.

Says LARS ULRICH/METALLICA of this historic announcement: "Who would have thought that more than 25 years after its inception, thrash metal's big 4 would not only still be around and more popular than ever, but will now play together for the first time...what a mindfuck! Bring it on!"

"It's about fucking time this happened," says SLAYER'S KERRY KING, "and about time the fans finally get what they want. This is fucking awesome."

ANTHRAX guitarist SCOTT IAN agrees, commenting on the enormity of the announcement.

"People have been talking about these four bands playing together since 1984. That's twenty-six years of expectation!! And the thing is, I believe not only will we live up to the expectations, we will shatter them! No other four bands as influential as the four of us have ever done this. Imagine if The Beatles, Stones, the Who and Zeppelin had done shows? Or Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, Motorhead? Well, I may be getting into some rarified air here but as a fan, that's how big I feel this is."

These four legendary acts broke out of the underground thrash movement to dominate the metal world in the 1980s, selling millions of records and packing arenas across the globe. The metal giants have never before all shared the same stage, despite huge demand. But on June 16, 2010, METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will take to the SONISPHERE stage at Bemowo Airport, Poland, to make the dreams of headbangers the world over become a reality. A second Big Four appearance is planned for SONISPHERE CZECH REPUBLIC three days later, with more SONISPHERE shows featuring the awesome combo to be announced in the coming days and weeks.

"This is a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for heavy metal fans to see the four greatest heavy metal bands in American history back together on one stage," concludes MEGADETH main man DAVE MUSTAINE. "If there are any heads left at the end of this festival that haven't banged, they don't belong there."

Tickets are available from www.sonispherefestivals.com

SLAYER SPREADS A LITTLE HATE WORLDWIDE WITH 4TH GRAMMY NOMINATION

LOS ANGELES, CA - December 3, 2009 -- Dancing with the Devil must appeal to the N.A.R.A.S. membership, as they've gone and done it again - nominated Slayer for a Grammy Award. And the members of Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo - are wickedly pleased.

This, Slayer's fourth Grammy nod in the Best Metal Performance category, is for the track "Hate Worldwide," off of the band's new album World Painted Blood, which offers a Slayer-ized viewpoint of our world - God's terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, the way-too-close proximity of world horrors that technology has brought us, and a chilling hypothesis of how the rest of the world might view America. "Hate Worldwide," written by King, showcases classic Slayer hate-fueled venom spewed forth at impossible speeds - "That's why it's become my obsession/To treat God like an infection/My scars, insane/My life, profane/I deny, defy, and spread a little hate worldwide."

Released November 2, World Painted Blood has received raves from retail: the album debuted at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums charts; radio: after multiple weeks at #1 on all of the major metal radio charts, the album says farewell to 2009 still firmly embedded in that #1 position; and press: according to one media outlet, World Painted Blood "recaptures the manic fury of Reign in Blood, the range of South of Heaven, and the grand scale of Seasons in the Abyss." In addition, the album was a Top Ten debut in numerous countries outside the U.S., including Germany, Australia, Japan, and Canada.

Nominated for a Grammy three previous times in the Best Metal Performance category, Slayer has taken the award home twice - in 2006 for "Eyes of the Insane," from Christ Illusion, and in 2007 for "Final Six," from the Christ Illusion Limited Edition release. The band's first Grammy nomination came in 2002 for the track "Disciple" from the album God Hates Us All.

Slayer will kick off Twenty-Ten co-headlining the North American American Carnage tour, marking the first time that Slayer and Megadeth have shared a U.S. stage since 1991's epic "Clash of the Titans" tour. The 26-date trek kicks off January 18 in Seattle, WA.

YES, THE RUMORS ARE TRUE:
SLAYER, MEGADETH TEAM UP FOR "AMERICAN CARNAGE"
Co-Headliners to Tour the U.S. Together For the First Time in Nearly Two Decades
Testament to be Special Guest
Recession-Proof $10.00 Tickets Available in All U.S. Markets

LOS ANGELES, CA - Monday, November 16, 2009 -- Slayer. Megadeth. Two names synonymous with fierce, crunching power. Two bands whose histories are inevitably intertwined in defining the thrash/metal genre. Individually, their respective prowess and accomplishments are impressive; but together, they're brutal and unstoppable. Megadeth and Slayer will join forces to co-headline "American Carnage," the most blistering, the most explosive, and the most eagerly-antcipated mega-tour of the winter - and you do not want to miss it.

"American Carnage" will kick off on January 18 in Seattle, WA for a 26-date trek across North America that will include the six Canadian dates postponed earlier this month. Tickets for most shows go on sale this Friday, November 20. Ticketmaster is offering a special presage for most shows from Wednesday, November 18 at 10AM until Thursday, November 19 at 10PM.

"American Carnage" is the first time that Slayer and Megadeth will have toured the U.S. together since 1991's epic "Clash of the Titans" tour. To celebrate that, and in recognition of the tough economic times that many of their fans are having, Megadeth and Slayer have decided to roll back the price of a chunk of tickets at every U.S. show to the "1991 price" of $10.00. These specially-priced tickets will be limited and when they're gone, they're gone. Megadeth has also teamed with iloveallaccess.com to provide an Ultimate Fan Package including premium seats, meet and greets, pre-show parties and more.

In addition, Testament, who was also on the '91 "Clash of the Titans" bill, will be Special Guests on the entire tour, marking the first time that all three bands have shared a stage together in more than 18 years, and making this a "must see" metal event.

Both Megadeth and Slayer will hit the road supporting new albums: Megadeth's 2009 album, ENDGAME, and Slayer's World Painted Blood, the band's 10th studio venture, which hit stores November 3. Testament's The Formation of Damnation: Special Tour Edition, will be released on February 23, 2010 with special unreleased bonus tracks.

Slayer and Megadeth have already massacred territories together outside of the U.S., first with four explosive dates in June 2009 across Western Canada - "Canadian Carnage" - marking the first time the bands had shared a stage anywhere in 18 years; and then six co-headlining "Carnage" dates in Australia followed in October.

According to various Canadian press outlets last summer: "It was a night of thrash impossible to trash..." "Tales about war, death, destruction, Satan, aliens and serial killers have never been so much fun..." "The two heavy metal heavyweights...went head-to-head on a level playing field. Both bands brought their 'A' game. And the results were anything but pretty - unless you include pretty freakin' loud and pretty freakin' awesome."

Slayer. Few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, vocalist/bassist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo - bring to its live shows, having been named "Best Live Band" by numerous media outlets including Revolver, SPIN, and Metal Hammer. World Painted Blood offers a Slayer-ized point of view of our world - God's terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, the way-too-close proximity of world horrors that technology has brought us, and a chilling hypothesis of how the rest of the world might view America. The album was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. World Painted Blood was produced by Greg Fidelman who has spent time in the studio with Metallica, the Gossip, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Slipknot and others, and executive produced by long-time Slayer colleague Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project. One reviewer called the album "the heaviest, bloodiest and best album in almost two decades." Fans got a couple of early morsels of the brutal new Slayer material -- "Psychopathy Red," a Hanneman song inspired by the heinous Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, who confessed to savagely murdering 56 children, was recorded last October and then leaked online. Then, the King-penned track, "Hate Worldwide," was made available in July as a limited-edition single through Hot Topic. For "American Carnage," Slayer's Tom Araya promises, "no ballads, no acoustic numbers, no slow tempos."

Megadeth. 2009 saw the release of ENDGAME, which has been heralded as Megadeth's best album in years. It's the record where it all comes full circle in a career that has not only set standards in hard rock and metal, but defined them. Megadeth's signature shredding and rousing lyrics are the hallmarks of ENDGAME, with vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine once musing and making declarations about the world we live in, having named the album after a government document that should strike fear in the hearts of Americans! But that's Mustaine and Megadeth, using the vehicle of music to shake things up, to make a point and to rattle your brain, literally, figuratively and sonically. Revolver magazine said of ENDGAME, "One of their best albums." VH1's 'That Metal Show' deemed it "One of the metal albums of the year," and Popmatters said, "the record positively scorches with an intensity not heard since Rust in Peace ."

Legendary thrash metal titans Testament, whose latest award-winning release (2008 Album of the Year, Metal Hammer's Golden God Award) The Formation of Damnation, displays them as the quintessential modern heavy metal band, whose experience and accumulated skill allows them to attack with reserves of anger, energy and finesse that make them more powerful than ever. Lead singer Chuck Billy says, "Uniting these bands is the heavy metal event of generations. We are so proud to be a part of it."

Slayer and Megadeth are also rescheduling the east coast leg of the "Canadian Carnage tour, postponed from this fall.

BREE OLSON WILL WIELD A GIANT PAIROF SCISSORS AT THE 2010 AVN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT EXPO 

Adam & Eve Pictures Contract Star To Cut The Ribbon and Open Show Floor

ENCINO, CALIFORNIA (November 10, 2009) … Recognized for her girl-next-door innocence and radiant sensuality, the lovely and fresh-faced Adam & Eve Pictures contract star Bree Olson will be cutting the ribbon to launch the 2010 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE). The ribbon cutting will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 7, 2010 in the front of Hall A at the SandsExpoCenter in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

“Each year we have one of the top adult stars cut the ribbon to open our show, and we are extremely pleased that Bree Olsen will be doing the honors this year, following in the scissor cuts of luminaries such as Stormy Daniels, Jenna Jameson, and Tera Patrick,” said AEE spokesperson Sean Devlin. “Bree is a great talent, and I am told she wields a mean pair of scissors.”

Shortly after Bree Olson began performing, her gorgeous natural physique and a matching sweet temperament took the industry by storm. The “It” girl was splashed across the covers of renowned adult magazines Hustler and Penthouse, where Olson was named “Pet of the Month” for March 2008. Extending her talents to mainstream reality television, Olson can be seen in popular shows like The Howard Stern Show, Insomniac with Dave Attell, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and Opie and Anthony, and even shot a video for Spike Guy’s Choice Awards. Having performed in more than 140 adult movies, Bree Olson has been working exclusively with Adam & Eve Pictures since 2006 and will next be seen in Rawhide 2: Dirty Deeds in January.

SLAYER POSTPONES "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE,"
'CANADIAN CARNAGE' DATES

Los Angeles, CA - Monday, November 2, 2009 -- It is with great regret that Slayer announces the postponement of its "Canadian Carnage" tour with Megadeth, which was due to begin on November 8. In addition, the band announces the postponement of its appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," which had been set for this Wednesday, November 4. More information will be released shortly regarding the rescheduling of the Canadian dates, as well as the 'Kimmel' appearance.

Slayer's Tom Araya is currently under the care of a specialist for a back injury, thought to be related to his on-stage activity, and the physician has ordered an immediate surgical procedure to take place in Texas tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

"What is foremost in our minds right now is that Tom do whatever he needs to to get this taken care of," said Slayer's Kerry King. "While all four of us are disappointed that we won't be able to see through all of our commitments set for the next few weeks, the most important thing is Tom's health. We thank the fans in Canada and here in L.A., the Megadeth camp, and everyone associated with 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' for their understanding. We look forward to seeing you all soon."

Slayer's Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman and Dave Lombardo are looking forward to meeting their fans at a previously announced in-store appearance this Wednesday, November 4 at 3:30PM at the Hot Topic store located at the Hollywood and Highland complex. Slayer's World Painted Blood is released tomorrow, November 3.

SLAYER TO HIJACK MYSPACE MUSIC FOR A VERY SCARY HALLOWEEN"Playing With Dolls" Horror Short to be Featured in its Entirety

FRIDAY, October 30, 2009 -- It's going to be a very scary Halloween weekend at MySpace Music, thanks to Slayer.

Starting tonight at Midnight, Slayer will commandeer the site's Music Home Page ( http://MySpaceMusic.com ) and brand new Music Video Home Page ( http://MySpace.com/musicvideo )  for the entire Halloween weekend.  
The first Slayer Halloween treat will be the exclusive premiere of Slayer's brand new album, World Painted Blood, which is due in stores next Tuesday, November 3.  You've probably heard a few morsels from it - "Psychopathy Red," "Hate Worldwide," and the title track - but now you'll be able to hear "Snuff," "Public Display of Dismemberment," "Not of This God," and "Beauty Through Order" - the whole thing, start to finish and on demand - until Tuesday when you can own your very own copy.  

But if you really want to get creeped out this Halloween, then check out the video graphic novel "Playing With Dolls," which will be exclusively available for viewing on MySpace Music only through the weekend, and then on Tuesday as part of the World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition.

No mere music video, the 20-minute "Playing with Dolls" (which is included in the World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition) was created and directed by Mark Brooks (Metalocalypse) and is a stark, 12-part nightmare that breathes corrupt life into Slayer's latest syllabus of stalkers, psychopaths and serial killers, merging their aberrant psyches into the supremely focused desire of a single, merciless malcontent.  A methodical distillation of one man's lethal frenzy, the film follows the gruesome outbursts of a nameless protagonist.  He is not an indiscriminate murder junkie, but rather a highly creative snuff-artist with a deeply personal sense of purpose - a man for whom murder is the only conceivable way forward. 

With a black heart hardened by tragedy, he chooses his victims carefully.  His methods are as grisly and varied as they are poetic.To complete this seizing of MySpace Music, every slot on the MySpace's Music Video Homepage will be filled with Slayer music videos, shout-outs, digital clips of the band providing some behind-the-scenes perspective on World Painted Blood, and other terrifying tidbits.

Head over to MySpace Music, http://myspacemusic.com/   Happy Halloween!

SLAYER ANNOUNCES JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE PERFORMANCE,
HOT TOPIC IN-STORE, AND BEST BUY PROMOTION

LOS ANGELES, CA - October 29, 2009 -- To celebrate the release of their 10th studio album World Painted Blood, in stores on Tuesday, November 3, the mighty Slayer will make a special appearance on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Wednesday, November 4 (airs 12:05 ET/11:05CT), performing the new album's title track. Some 400 lucky fans who purchase World Painted Blood at any of the 10 participating Los Angeles-area Best Buy stores (listed below**) will receive two wristbands that will gain them access to the outdoor "Jimmy Kimmel Live" audience to see Slayer's special performance.

In addition, on Wednesday, November 4 at 3:30PM, Slayer will make an in-store appearance at the Hot Topic store located at the Hollywood and Highland complex (6801 Hollywood Blvd.). Fans who purchase a copy of World Painted Blood or any Slayer t-shirt exclusively from the Hollywood Blvd. Hot Topic will receive a wristband that guarantees the opportunity to meet the band at the in-store the next day. Only a limited number of these wristbands will be available, and once they're gone, they're gone.

Eleven new songs comprise World Painted Blood which was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. World Painted Blood was produced by Greg Fidelman, who's spent time in the studio with Metallica, the Gossip, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Slipknot and others, and executive produced by long-time Slayer colleague, Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project.

Of World Painted Blood, Outburn said it "delivers and does so with all guns blazing...there isn't a bad track here," while Decibel called it "one of the most diverse albums the band has made." Guitar World's editor summed it up as "an exciting, disturbing and thoroughly bizarre thrill-ride."

World Painted Blood is a vicious, uncompromising look at what's broken in our society and how frighteningly powerless we are to fix it. "Public Display of Dismemberment." "Beauty Through Order." "Not of this God." "Psychopathy Red." "Human Strain." World Painted Blood is a work of terror by one of the most important metal bands in the world, and one of the only bands of its genre to never compromise its musical integrity for commercial success. Period.

In 2005, Zombie assaulted the film world with the critically-acclaimed The Devil’s Rejects (Lionsgate), the follow-up to his already cult classic House of 1000 Corpses (Lionsgate 2004).

ALICE IN CHAINS' JERRY CANTRELL & ANTHRAX'S SCOTT IAN TO LAUNCH VEGAS ROCK BAR

DEAD MAN'S HAND TO OPEN DOORS IN NOVEMBER

Los Angeles, CA - October 14, 2009 -- Two icons of rock have joined forces to create a new rock bar and performance space in Las Vegas. Alice in Chains guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian plan to launch the venue, Dead Man's Hand, in November.

The bar will feature none of the trendy décor, snobby attitude and outlandish prices so prevalent in Vegas. Instead, Dead Man's Hand will favor grit over glitz, providing customers great music, cool atmosphere and affordable drinks all year long.

"We want this to be a place that we would want to hang out in," Ian says. "There's a huge segment of the music audience that likes to go out but doesn't want to go to places that only play Lil Wayne and Lady Gaga and charge $750 for a bottle of vodka. We want to be the opposite of that."

"I always wanted to have a cool joint with some friends that would be a great place to go at night," adds Cantrell, "It's close to Los Angeles, and a lot of cool bands and people hit Vegas. We wanted to make a fun place for everybody to hang."

Cantrell came up with the name Dead Man's Hand, and as soon as he mentioned it to Ian, the guitarist was sold. The two logos for the club -- a skeleton's hand holding the dead man's poker hand atop a flaming Ace of Spades, and a skull-embossed Ace of Spades atop the dead man's hand -- were designed by award-winning artist Shepard Fairey from Obey. "Scott and I are both into poker, and the dead man's hand -- two aces and two eights -- was the hand Wild Bill Hickok was supposedly holding when he was shot," Cantrell says. "And we both really like the show 'Deadwood,' so it seemed like a cool name."

Dead Man's Hand will feature a long, semicircle-shaped bar that seats 30, a stage, and a raised back area featuring booths directly across from the stage. Total capacity is about 200. The bar will showcase DJs and live music, with a top-notch PA, state-of-the art lighting system and a backline donated by Ian and Cantrell's respective gear companies.

"We'd like to have a couple of house bands, maybe once or twice a month," Cantrell says. "And we'll have some cool bands come in and play. "We're planning to leave a bunch of gear on the stage so it's functional for anybody that wants to just get up and go for it."

"We're also putting together the Dead Man's Band, which will be Jerry and I and probably some other sub-partners who are also in well-known bands," adds Ian. "Obviously, we won't play once a week or anything because of our schedules, but when we're all around we'll get up and jam out a bunch of covers."

The sub-partners for Dead Man's Hand will be announced in the weeks ahead. The third equal partner in Dead Man's Hand is Michael Politz, owner of Food and Beverage magazine. "Jerry and I have talked for years about having a bar, and Michael really helped make it possible," Ian says. "He's very tied into the Vegas scene and was very excited about pitching this idea around. It just feels like all the planets finally aligned."

The bar will offer several signature drinks, including the Dead Man's Hand (whisky and spicy ginger ale) and, of course the Black Tooth Grin (Crown Royal with a splash of Coca-Cola), the late-guitar legend Dimebag Darrell's beverage of choice.

SLAYER'S WORLD PAINTED BLOOD DELUXE EDITION TO INCLUDE PLAYING WITH DOLLS HORROR SHORT

Trailer for the Mark Brooks (Metalocalypse) -Directed Flick Now on www.Slayer.net

World Painted Blood Now Available for Pre-Order at www.Slayer.net

Los Angeles, CA - WEDNESDAY, October 14, 2009 -- It was only a matter of time before Slayer's lyrics leapt off the printed page and made their wanton way to the visual medium.  The band's discography is gorged with tales of mass murderers, serial sadists and drooling deviants of every stripe - vicious mental cases just begging for a cinematic reception.  

Enter Metalocalypse director and big-time Slayer fan Mark Brooks who created a 20-minute DVD titled Playing with Dolls, a 12-episode video-graphic novel that will be included exclusively in Slayer's World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition, out November 3 in tandem with the World Painted Blood Standard Edition.  Inspired by the songs on World Painted Blood - in particular, Jeff Hanneman's "Playing With Dolls" from which the horror short takes its title - the film blends elements of animation and still-photography into a visual style similar to that of a graphic novel.  A trailer for the short has just been posted at www.slayer.net   The soundtrack for the Playing With Dolls short features clips from all 11 of the songs on World Painted Blood; in addition, the music bed for Episode #7 is taken from "Atrocity Vendor," a new song that is not on the album.

"It's not live action and it's not animated," Brooks explains.  "It's a weird hybrid of the two, and I haven't seen a lot of things done this way."

No mere music video, Playing with Dolls is a stark, 12-part nightmare that breathes corrupt life into Slayer's latest syllabus of stalkers, psychopaths and serial killers, merging their aberrant psyches into the supremely focused desire of a single, merciless malcontent.  A methodical distillation of one man's lethal frenzy, the film follows the gruesome outbursts of a nameless protagonist.  He is not an indiscriminate murder junkie, but rather a highly creative snuff-artist with a deeply personal sense of purpose - a man for whom murder is the only conceivable way forward.  With a black heart hardened by tragedy, he chooses his victims carefully.  His methods are as grisly and varied as they are poetic.

"It's a little weirder than your regular blood n' guts type thing," Brooks says of the storyline, "which I think is a reflection of Slayer's music."

But make no mistake:  There will be blood, and plenty of it.  As the real-life boyfriend of one of the film's "victims" told Brooks after a private screening, "I almost threw up while I watching that.  And I think that's a compliment."
Slayer - bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and drummer Dave Lombardo - started recording World Painted Blood, the band's 10th studio album, last October in a Los Angeles studio with producer Greg Feldeman, and completed it this past May.  Recording World Painted Blood was a unique experience for Slayer who has historically begun the recording process with all songs written and fully rehearsed.  

This time, they did the bulk of writing and song development while in the studio.  According to drummer Dave Lombardo, "On this record, we worked a lot more collectively, we were more attentive to each other's ideas and willing to try them, which only benefited the album."  World Painted Blood is, indeed a Slayer album, and consequently deals with topics such as death and destruction, war, serial killers, and the Apocalypse.  

"Psychopathy Red," leaked online a year ago, was inspired by the heinous Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, aka the Rostov Ripper, who confessed to brutally murdering 56 children.  "Beauty Through Order" (Kerry King:  "one of Jeff's songs, it has a very heavy 'do me' intro to it then explodes with a really cool vibe,") "Unit 731," "Playing With Dolls" (Lombardo:  an awesome track, great song structure, great vibe"), "Public Display of Dismemberment," and "Americon," a King composition.  Of "Americon," King explains, "It's about what I think the rest of the world thinks of America.  We may not be big on a lot of people's lists, but I don't care what you think of my government, of my economy, or whatever.  I live here and this is one of the best places that I've ever found to live.  So f*#k you if you don't like it."

ANVIL TO TAKE "THE ANVIL EXPERIENCE" ON THE ROAD
Anvil Launches First North American Concert Tour in More Than a Decade

LOS ANGELES, CA - October 5, 2009 -- ANVIL - the "Rocky Balboa of Metal" - is set to launch their first major tour in more than a decade - "The Anvil Experience" - a full-on, 30-date North American trek in support of both the September 15 release of their most recent CD, This is Thirteen (VH1 Classic Records), and the October 6 DVD release of Anvil! The Story of Anvil (VH1 Films). The tour kicks off in earnest on January 7, 2010 in the city of rock 'n' roll, Cleveland, Ohio, will include dates in New York and Los Angeles, and will culminate in Vancouver on February 13.

But this will not be any ordinary concert tour, as audience members will be treated to a screening of Anvil! The Story of Anvil, before the group - singer/guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Glenn Five - will take the stage for a set of heavy Anvil classics.

And if that's not enough metal for you, well, the lads are prepared. For the serious metalhead, a limited number of 50 "VIP Anvil Experience" packages will be made available for each show, which includes a ticket to the concert, a copy of the This is Thirteen CD, a copy of the Anvil! The Story of Anvil DVD, a fanny pack (a constant fashion companion of Reiner's as seen in the film), and a meet 'n' greet with the band. Pre-sale tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 6, with the regular on-sale starting Friday, October 9. See below** for full details.

Of This is Thirteen, one rock critic called it Anvil's "best record in over two decades." And if you haven't already seen Anvil! The Story of Anvil, you're missing out on what will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest - and certainly most honest and realistic - rock docs of all time. Don't believe us? Here's some proof from those who caught earlier Anvil Experience showings: "Fantastic! Definitely the best concert I've ever seen in a movie theatre" (Tal Pinchevsky/New York Post). "Such a great movie, and the performance was fantastic. Great idea to have the guys there" (Claudia Acosta/ABC World News). The Anvil Experience is guaranteed to go down as one of the top metal events of 2010 - get ready for some true "Metal on Metal!"

Larry Flynt Wins Again

Beverly Hills, California, September 24, 2009 - On Wednesday, September 23, 2009, the Los Angeles federal court in Larry Flynt’s lawsuit against his nephews, Jimmy Flynt II and Dustin Flynt, issued another decision in favor of the famous publisher and First Amendment advocate.

Flynt has sued his nephews and their company, Flynt Media Corp., seeking to prevent them from cashing in on his fame and notoriety.  The federal court had earlier issued a preliminary injunction against the nephews restricting their use of Flynt’s famous name so as not exploit his fame. 

In this latest victory, the federal court denied the nephews’ motion for summary judgment seeking to dismiss Flynt's claims for trademark infringement and violation of Flynt’s right-of-publicity - the right of Flynt to control and profit from the commercial use of his name, likeness or persona.

In his decision,  U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz  stated that “Given Larry Flynt’s fame and defendants’ use of the slogan ‘You Know the Name’ in promoting their products, a jury could reasonably find that defendants’ use of ‘Flynt’ was a knowing use of plaintiff’s name, or a use of his identity.”

When reached for comment, Jonathan W. Brown, Esq., counsel for Flynt, stated “My client is very happy with this decision, and looks forward to having his rights vindicated at trial.  It is unfortunate that his nephews have chosen to attempt to enrich themselves at the expense of their uncle.  He is obviously saddened by what he views as his nephews’ disloyalty, especially given all he has done for them in the past.” 

The trial is scheduled to begin on December 8, 2009.

The tour will feature Machine Head and Suicide Silence, and will see Megadeth and Slayer alternating the closing spot. Tickets go on sale this Friday, September 18 at 10AM local time (see below for more ticketing info).

Megadeth and Slayer laid waste to four Canadian cities earlier this year when they joined up for the first "Canadian Carnage," marking the first time the bands had shared a stage anywhere in 18 years. According to various Canadian press outlets: "It was a night of thrash impossible to trash..." "Tales about war, death, destruction, aliens and serial killers have never been so much fun..." "The two heavy metal heavyweights ...went head-to-head on a level playing field. Both bands brought their 'A' game. And the results were anything but pretty - unless you include pretty freakin' loud and pretty freakin' awesome."

Expect both Slayer and Megadeth to perform classic favorites as well as brand-new material - Megadeth's 12th studio album, Endgame, is scheduled for a September 15 release, while Slayer's World Painted Blood, the band's 10th studio venture, will be released on November 3.

Few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer brings to its live shows, having been named "Best Live Band" by numerous media outlets including Revolver, SPIN, and Metal Hammer. Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, vocalist/bassist Tom Araya and drummer Dave Lombardo - recently completed recording World Painted Blood, the band's tenth studio album with Greg Fidelman producing and Rick Rubin executive producing. Fans were given an early taste of the brutal new Slayer material when "Psychopathy Red," a song inspired by the heinous Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, who confessed to savagely murdering 56 children, was recorded last fall and then leaked online. Attendees of "Canadian Carnage" will be treated to Slayer performing "Psychopathy Red" live on stage. World Painted Blood will be released in North America on November 3, 2009.

With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, the icon that is Megadeth this past summer with Dave Mustaine's acceptance of the highly coveted "Golden God" accolade and the band's headline performance at the inaugural Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles. Megadeth - lead guitarist/lead vocalist Dave Mustaine, lead and rhythm guitarist Chris Broderick, bassist James Lomenzo and drummer Shawn Drover - recorded Endgame, their 12th studio album in Los Angeles with Andy Sneap. The disc is scheduled for release on September 15. Known for their ferocious live show, Megadeth will once again bring this intensity to their loyal throng of Canadian followers.

Bay Area titans Machine Head add to the carnage as main support. Machine Head - vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn, guitarist Phil Demmel, bassist/backing vocalist Adam Duce and drummer Dave McClain - are currently touring in support of their critically-acclaimed and Grammy nominated The Blackening. Since its release, the band has been awarded both Best Album at the Metal Hammer Awards and Album of the Year at Kerrang's annual ceremony that same year. And with a fan base so rabid, they've actually been banned from certain U.S. venues, Machine Head will bring with them the relentless stage show they are renowned for.

There is little doubt in anyone's mind that Suicide Silence is one of the frontrunners of the new wave of American metal, a statement further validated as the group won the "Best New Talent" award at the inaugural Revolver Golden Gods Awards, held at Club Nokia in Los Angeles earlier this year. The group was also hailed as the event's breakthrough artist by the L.A. Times, but make no mistake that this extreme juggernaut is not resting on its laurels and is about to take things up a notch with their highly-anticipated sophomore release, No Time to Bleed, which was produced by acclaimed producer Machine (Lamb of God) and released on June 30.

Metal Blade Records to reissue classic King Diamond albums ‘The Spiders Lullabye' and The Graveyard' this October!

Los Angeles, CA – September 14, 2009 – KING DIAMOND is quite possibly the most recognizable and prolific personality ever in heavy metal. Revered by icons as big as Metallica and Pantera to inspiring new upstarts like Goatwhore; KING DIAMOND, the man and the band, have left an indelible mark on the history, and now again, the future of heavy metal.

Reissued KING DIAMOND albums The Spider's Lullabye and The Graveyard have both been re-mastered by KING DIAMOND guitarist Andy LaRocque and are set to be released on October 13th. Each album will include bonus material that purchasers will be able to obtain digitally. Both The Spider's Lullabye and The Graveyard will include live “bootleg” versions (with video footage) of the following songs: 'The Spider's Lullabye' from the album of the same name, and ‘Trick Or Treat' and 'Up From The Grave' from The Graveyard.

“Andy LaRocque re-mastered both records and you can really hear more details and sounds that I remember recording but didn't come through in the original mastering. The records have much more bottom end this time around. There's even more details and clarity than the original version and you'll hear things you've never heard before in both releases. Andy did a great job re-mastering and improving these albums above and beyond my expectations. The artwork has also been completely redone for Spiders and Graveyard and is just amazing. I did not expect them to come out this good and am just completely thrilled with the result.

We originally were going to include bonus footage on the albums as a CD-ROM, but the sound and video quality was going to suffer tremendously and that is just unacceptable. Instead, the bonus footage is going to be available for download to those who purchase the albums. The video downloads will be available in multiple formats so everyone can see them” commented King Diamond.

It has also been confirmed that the two KING DIAMOND songs 'Welcome Home' and 'Cremation' will appear on the upcoming videogame, Brutal Legend, scheduled for release in October.

Both KING DIAMOND and MERCYFUL FATE have worked out a deal with C1rca Shoes to have featured artwork on several of their sneakers, the first pair set to arrive in October 2009 with more to follow in 2010. Make sure to keep an eye on the official King Diamond/Mercyful Fate site http://www.covenworldwide.org/ for product details and updates.

Expect the first ever DVD from KING DIAMOND as early as the winter 2009 or as late as early 2010.

AND THE DREAM CONTINUES...
ANVIL SET TO PERFORM ON THE TONIGHT SHOW
This is Thirteen Hits Stores Next Tuesday, 9/15

Los Angeles, CA - September 10, 2009 -- Anvil - whose rock-doc "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" has certainly been the most feel-good, comeback stories of recent times, will make its late-night performance debut on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on Tuesday, October 6. "The Tonight Show" performance is in support of the release of the band's new album, This is Thirteen, which hits stores on Tuesday, September 15, and the "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" DVD set for an October 6 release date.

For this auspicious occasion, Anvil - guitarist/vocalist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Glenn Five - will perform the song that many consider their anthem, "Metal On Metal," which is included as a bonus track on the This is Thirteen limited edition vinyl. The band members will also get a little couch time with O'Brien.

"I am so nervous about doing the show," said Lips. "This is big, the biggest thing we have ever done on TV. I almost cried when my mom said she might not be able to stay up that late to watch it, so we're going to tape it for her. We can't wait to meet Conan, and I think Robb is pretty excited to meet Max Weinberg."

VH1 Classic Records, who is releasing This is Thirteen, has just posted an exclusive premiere of the album on The Leak, which can be accessed at http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/anvil/2460945/album.jhtml Those who log on between today and September 16 will be able to stream the album in its entirety.

SLAYER ANNOUNCES WORLD PAINTED BLOOD CONFIRMED RELEASE DATE, TRACK LISTING, AND BRAND-NEW WEBSITE

Los Angeles, CA - September 2, 2009 -- The mighty Slayer has confirmed a release date for the band's 10th studio album: World Painted Blood will be released on Tuesday, November 3 in North America, and on Monday, November 2 to the rest of the world. In addition, Slayer has revealed the complete and correct track listing for the album that can be found on the band's newly-designed, just-launched website: www.slayer.net

"As we're so excited about World Painted Blood," said the band's Dave Lombardo, "we wanted to do something special for the packaging, and have been working with some really cool ideas. They've taken time to get just right, and with our headlining the Mayhem tour for most of the summer, it's just taken that much longer to get all these great ideas exactly the way we want them."

There will be three different editions of World Painted Blood - a limited edition CD with multiple CD covers, a deluxe edition CD/DVD, and a high-quality, 180-gram vinyl edition; specifics for all editions will be detailed shortly.

"We hope our fans will like everything about World Painted Blood as much as we do," Lombardo continued. "Recording this new album has been one of the greatest experiences we've had as a band. We were together during the writing process more than we had been for past albums, we worked more collectively, everyone's suggestions and ideas were heard and considered, and that camaraderie is definitely heard in the new album.

"Keep checking our new website as that's where everything will be announced first."

JOE PERRY’S “HAVE GUITAR, WILL TRAVEL” SET FOR

OCTOBER 6th RELEASE

Co-founding member, principal co-songwriter, lead guitarist and co-producer of Aerosmith, JOE PERRY, will release his fifth solo CD Have Guitar, Will Travel on Tuesday, October 6th.   The hard driving, ten-song collection features Perry’s trademark rock and roll based ferocity, as well as the CD’s first single, the blazing “We’ve Got A Long Way To Go.” Recorded this past spring at the BoneYard, Perry's state-of-the-art home studio, where Aerosmith’s Honkin’ On Bobo, Just Push Play, as well as Joe’s last Grammy nominated solo CD were recorded, Have Guitar, Will Travel is entirely written and produced by Perry.

Still as scorching hot on guitar as he is preternaturally cool in his persona, Have Guitar, Will Travel is a departure for Perry in that the CD was conceived as a band recording. From start to finish it took only forty-seven days to complete.  "Making this record in such a short period of time gave us a chance to capture an energy and flow that was very different from the last record,” said Perry. “The way the players came together at a time when I had the music and lyrics in my head and on tape, ready to go, was pure synchronicity. The last record rocked, but this one rocks and then some.  I’m really proud of it.”

“We’ve Got A Long Way To Go,” the CDs first single, showcases the voice of a young German singer known as Hagen, found completely by chance on YouTube by Joe’s wife Billie.  “I first called him from Cleveland when I went to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Jam with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ron Wood, Flea and Metallica,” said Perry.  “It took several minutes to convince him that it wasn’t a prank call, but a true invitation to audition to sing on the CD.”  Hagen mans the microphone for four tracks, while Perry sings lead on five.  The remaining tenth song is an instrumental entitled “Wooden Ships.”    

In addition, Perry attracted an esteemed roster of some of the best players that the music world has to offer; bassist David Hull, who played with The Buddy Miles Band at 19 and was in the Joe Perry Project in the 80s, drummer Ben Tileston, a Boston University percussion graduate, who plays drums with two of Perry’s sons in TAB The Band, Paul Santo, whose played Hammond Organ/Pipe Organ with the likes of Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and Ozzy Osbourne, drummers Scott Meeder and Marty Richards and Willie “Loco” Alexander, Boston’s “Godfather of Punk,” who was in The Lost and was part of the Bostown sound of the band “the Bagatelle.” 

A six-week Twitter search was conducted to find the CD’s title.  The winner, out of nearly 2000 entries, was Joe Piscitelli

The release of Have Guitar, Will Travel follows self-produced solo releases including Let The Music Do The Talking (1980), Once A Rocker, Always A Rocker (1983), I've Got The Rock 'N' Rolls Again (1981) and 2005’s Joe Perry, which received universal critical praise and earned Perry his first solo Grammy nomination.

Perry is planning a “short, fast, hard tour” with the Joe Perry Project.

NORWEGIAN METAL ICONS SATYRICON
TO HEADLINE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR!!

NEW, SPECIAL EDITION 2-CD VERSION OF
THE AGE OF NERO TO BE RELEASED
ON SEPTEMBER 29, 2009

(New York, NY) — Highly influential extreme metal band SATYRICON is set to headline a 24-city North American tour which begins on September 25th in Baltimore, MD.  The revered Norwegian outfit will also release a special edition 2-CD version of its critically acclaimed latest album, The Age of Nero.

The bonus material on this special The Age of Nero package has never been available in North America before.  Featuring 8 live and rare recordings, this package is a must-have for SATYRICON fans.  

Over the course of its distinguished career, SATYRICON has been widely recognized for its distinctive sound as well as its contributions to the genre.  The band won the Norwegian Indie Awards’ ”Alarm” for ”Best Live Act” in 2000, and in 2002, won the Norwegian Grammy for ”Best Metal Album” for Volcano, in addition to Alarm Awards for ”Metal Album of the Year” and ”Song of the Year” (for their track ”Fuel for Hatred”).  SATYRICON also won an Oslo Award for “Best Overall Album” that year.  In 2006, SATYRICON won the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for "Best Underground Act" as well as the "International Metal Album of the Year" honor at the Danish Music Awards for its album Now, Diabolical.

When asked about the upcoming tour, vocalist/guitarist Satyr states, "Finally…The way everyone greeted us in the states and Canada during our run in Jan, Feb and March, it was obvious that we needed to come back as soon as possible. The reception we got every night, all the conversations we had after the shows with everyone who had been waiting for us to make it over...it was given that it was never a question of if, just when. For the most part we are focusing on coming back to the same cities as we visited in the winter, so that you can see the full SATYRICON show that you got a taste of a few months back. There are also some cities in there where we will be visiting for the first time. It's a quite diverse line-up with support coming from Bleeding Through (U.S.), Chthonic (TAI) and Toxic Holocaust (U.S.) (Toxic Holocaust from 9/25-10/10). We need your support!”

ROB ZOMBIE’S HALLOWEEN II Soundtrack Features New Recordings

PLUS CLASSIC TRACKS FROM MOTORHEAD, ROD STEWART, 10CC, FOGHAT, SCREAM, THE MC5, VOID, THE MOODY BLUES AND MORE

HOLLYWOOD, CA (July 30, 2009) – Following the success of Rob Zombie’s initial reinvention of John Carpenter’s smash cult horror film HALLOWEEN which premiered number one at the box office breaking all Labor Day Weekend 2007 records, comes the sequel, HALLOWEEN II, hitting theatres nationwide on August 28, 2009 from Dimension Films. 

With the enormously popular horror movie series back, writer-producer-director Rob Zombie, once again puts his own twisted twist on the soundtrack.  Halloween II – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Hip-O/UMe), released August 25, 2009, and co-produced by Zombie, manages to bring together dialogue from the film as well as music from Motorhead, The Moody Blues, Scream (sans future member Dave Grohl), Rod Stewart, the MC5 and Foghat, alongside new psychobilly band Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures.

Frightmaster Zombie helmed 2007’s ninth installment in the HALLOWEEN franchise that began in 1978.  HALLOWEEN II, which debuts August 28, picks up where HALLOWEEN left off, and focuses on the struggles of Laurie Strode (played by Scout Taylor-Compton) and killer Michael Myers (played by Tyler Mane).

The new recordings on Halloween II – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack include “Transylvania Terror Train” and “Honky Tonk Halloween” from Captain Clegg and the Night Creatures, who appear in the film.  The band’s leader, Jesse Dayton, an Austin, Texas-based singer-guitarist who has played with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, was part of the duo Banjo & Sullivan that performed in Zombie’s 2005 flick The Devil’s Rejects and simultaneously released an album.  Similarly, Rob Zombie Presents Captain Clegg And The Night Creatures (Stag/Zombie A Go Go) will be issued August 28. 

Also new are “Laurie’s Theme” from John 5 produced by Bob Marlette, (Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne); “Nurse Killa” from score composer Tyler Bates (Watchmen, 300, Halloween, The Devil’s Rejects); and a cover of Nazareth’s 1976 hit “Love Hurts” from singer Nan Vernon, who covered “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” and “Mr. Sandman” for HALLOWEEN.

The classic tracks range from The Moody Blues’ 1966 psychedelic gem “Nights In White Satin” and 10cc’s cheery 1977 hit “The Things We Do For Love” to Rod Stewart’s 1972 cover of The Temptations’ “(I Know) I’m Losing You,” Foghat’s 1972 take on Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want To Make Love To You” and the MC5 proto-punk masterpiece “Kick Out The Jams,” which was recorded live in Detroit on Devil’s Night/Halloween 1968.  The lesser-known vintage tracks hail from the early ‘80s: “Amerarockers” by hardcore punkers Scream, “The Chase Is Better Than The Catch” by metal’s Motorhead and “Time To Die” by hardcore/metal band Void.

Prior to entering the film world, hard rocker Zombie scored a series of multiplatinum albums--1992’s La Sexorcisto, 1995’s Astro-Creep: 2000, and 1998’s Hellbilly Deluxe --as well as platinum with 2001’s The Sinister Urge and 2003’s greatest hits collection Past, Present & Future.  

In addition to his recording career, Rob Zombie has written and directed several successful feature films including House of 1000 Corpses, the sequel, The Devil’s Rejects, and is the is the producer, writer and director of the forthcoming animated film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, based on his comic book series, The Adventures of El Superbeasto.

NEW SLAYER SINGLE - "HATE WORLDWIDE"- AT HOT TOPIC THIS WEEK

Los Angeles, CA - July 27, 2009 -- Last October, one of Slayer's brand new songs, "Psychopathy Red," leaked online, and since then the song has been streamed more than a half-million times. Nine months is a long stretch to go without a new Slayer track, so the band is making available another morsel from their upcoming album, World Painted Blood, due out later this year. The limited-edition single, a Kerry King composition, is titled "Hate Worldwide," and will be available exclusively as a CD-single at Hot Topic stores beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, July 28. You can preview the track NOW at http://www.shockhound.com/features/667-exclusive--hear-slayer-s-new--hate-worldwide--here-first---

"It's a really cool track, and Tom's voice sounds incredible on it," said King. "The last line in the song's chorus is '..spread a little hate worldwide,' and that's what we've been doing for 25 years."

As World Painted Blood is a Slayer album, it deals with topics such as death and destruction, war, serial killers, and the Apocalypse. The album was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. World Painted Blood was produced by Greg Fidelman, who's spent time in the studio with Metallica, the Gossip, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Slipknot and others, and executive produced by long-time Slayer colleague, Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project.

Slayer - bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and drummer Dave Lombardo - is currently co-headlining the Mayhem Festival with Marilyn Manson, Killswitch Engage, and Bullet for My Valentine, among others. Remaining dates are as follows:

July
29 Toyota Pavilion, Scranton, PA
31 Blossom Music Center, Cleveland, OH

August
1 Post Gazette Pavilion, Pittsburgh, PA
2 DTE Energy Music Theatre, Detroit, MI

CRUE FEST 2 KICKS OFF IN CAMDEN, NJ

LAST SUMMER’S MOST SUCCESSFUL TOURING ROCK FESTIVAL RETURNS WITH THE ADDITION OF THE MONSTER ENERGY STAGE

Double The Rock For The Same Price As A Headlining Show – 10 Bands, 2 Stages

New York, NY (July 22, 2009) – The sequel to last summer’s biggest touring rock festival premiered on Sunday night with the kick off of Crüe Fest 2 at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ.   Crüe Fest 2 stars Mötley Crüe with Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Drowning Pool and Charm City Devils.  Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Dr. Feelgood, Mötley Crüe performed the #1 album in its entirety in their self-created sanitarium followed by a completely separate set of the best of the rest of their hits including the Grammy nominated title track from their current album Saints of Los Angeles.  Opening night revealed this visual, conceptual, theatrical show about which Rolling Stone.com noted, “Capping a daylong loud-fest of heaviosity…the Crüe’s set commenced with a spectacle.”

The opening date also featured the introduction of the Monster Energy Stage, doubling the rock experience and value for fans by offering music from ten great bands between the two stages.  The 32-city trek will travel to the west coast and back with a final performance on September 5th at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien Lake, NY.  Crüe Fest 2 tickets are available now through www.livenation.com.

 “This is a crazy tour unlike any we’ve ever done before.  Crüe Fest 2 has ten bands rocking two stages.  Mötley’s doing two completely different sets – all of the songs from the Dr. Feelgood album and then a whole different look, sound, lights, dancers and even microphones with the grime and slime of our greatest hits.  We’ll change up the set list a bit during the second half of the show, just really do something different this summer,” shares Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx.

The Monster Energy Stage, filled out the festival experience and brought the Camden crowd hours of non-stop rock.  In addition to Rev Theory, Cavo, Shram and 16 Second Stare, the Monster Energy Stage will feature a band chosen locally in select markets.  Joining the Camden line-up were local winners Shovelhook hailing from Philadelphia, PA, chosen by WMMR.

ANVIL CONTINUES EXTRAORDINARY COMEBACK
WITH AC/DC DATES AND NATIONAL RELEASE OF 'THIS IS THIRTEEN'

Los Angeles, CA - July 22, 2009 -- Certainly one of the most feel-good rock n' roll comeback stories of recent times is that of Canadian heavy metal band Anvil. The band, considered a major influence for a generation of hard rockers including Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, and Guns N' Roses, was the subject of a critically acclaimed, must-see rock-doc, 'Anvil! The Story of Anvil,' directed by Sacha Gervasi. And in the process, the film has made the group (led by singer/guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow and drummer Robb Reiner - both founding members) a household name. But the group's story will certainly not end with the film.

First up for Anvil are U.S. shows opening for Aussie rock legends AC/DC - in football stadiums. We're really excited about these shows, we've only heard awesome things about playing in football stadiums. I was with the Green Day guys last night, and they were telling me, 'Man, it's probably going to be the gig of your life'!"

And then on September 15, This is Thirteen will finally see proper national distribution on CD and vinyl via VH1 Classic Records. The CD will feature the newly recorded, never-before released bonus track "Thumb Hang." The collectible double vinyl LP boasts newly re-recorded versions of Anvil classics "Metal on Metal" and "666." The album, originally recorded in 2007 and produced by Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy), was primarily available directly from the band via their website and at their concerts.

"'This is Thirteen' is more like our first three albums," says Lips, "which represent our real identity. For many of our albums, we went on an 'integrity hunt' instead of on a 'commercial/radio hunt,' so we became extremely inaccessible to radio. This time, we stepped back and said, 'What were we originally?' And we rediscovered ourselves, I suppose." Reiner adds, "There are three tracks that in my opinion, are definitely, 100% AOR/hard rock/commercial radio tracks - 'American Refuge,' 'Flying Blind,' and 'Feed the Greed.' Catchy melodies, incredible drum feels - they just all rock."

The title track is about as classic Anvil as you can get - that slow, powerful, heavy backbeat with cool changes. The violent-sounding "Bombs Away" is, according to Reiner, "the almightiest metal track on the entire record," "Ready to Fight" is pure speed rock 'n roll - Nugent on steroids - that boasts super-heavy drumming, and "Big Business" is akin, musically-speaking, to Cream's classic "Sunshine of Your Love." And then there's the true classic, Anvil near-anthem, "Shoulda' Woulda' Coulda'," that's about living life with no regrets.

Reiner points out that the input from acclaimed producer Tsangarides (who produced early Anvil albums) was a major reason for This is Thirteen turning out the way it did. "The last four or five albums, material-wise, were all similar. We had been trying to find the direction back to the classic Anvil style and sound - it's just that the production hadn't been up to scratch. Chris was a big missing part on our past albums."

Despite some zany Spinal Tap-like parallels between Anvil and David St. Hubbins and company in the film, Anvil has always been taken seriously by metalheads, including some very well known rock stars, who praise the band in the film. "Anvil was one of those bands that just put on this really amazing live performance," said Velvet Revolver/ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, while Motorhead singer/bassist Lemmy added, "They were a great band - I always liked Anvil," and Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich gushed, "These guys were going to turn the music world upside down."

So, the AC/DC dates, the release of This is Thirteen, what else can fans expect from Anvil in the future? Lips was willing to provide a hint: "Working. More recording. More gigs. More - more than ever!"

SWEET’S FIRST LIVE CD IN OVER 20 YEARS, SWEET – LIVE IN AMERICA,

WILL BE SOLD EXCLUSIVELY ON AMAZON.COM

Power Pop Masters, Sweet, Who Generated More Than a Dozen Top Ten Hits Worldwide Including Ballroom Blitz, Fox On The Run, Love Is Like Oxygen, Little Willy, Hellraiser And Teenage Rampage, Perform A Free Concert On July 31 At Universal CityWalk

LOS ANGELES, CA—July 16, 2009—UK rock band Sweet’s new CD, their first new recording in over 20 years,  Sweet: Live In America will be sold exclusively on Amazon.com for 60 days beginning on Tuesday, July 21st.  The CD will be made available via CreateSpace Disc on Demand in both digital and physical formats at the economy-friendly suggested retail price of $6.18 for the CD and 65 cents per track.  Pre-orders for “Sweet: Live In America” are currently available on Amazon.com.

According to the Tolucan Sun:  “The Blitz Is Back and it is coming to CityWalk: Power Pop Masters, Sweet, who generated more than a dozen Top Ten Hits worldwide, with songs like Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the Run, Love is Like Oxygen, Teenage Rampage, Hellraiser, Action, Blockbuster and Little Willy are back and better than ever.  The legendary glittery fuzz-rock band plays the Universal CityWalk stage on July 31 in a free concert beginning at 8 p.m.”  This event is part of the Summer Block Party series that Universal CityWalk is presenting for the summer.  

Sweet has been receiving critical acclaim on their current tour and CD:

“Ballroom Blitz At The Canyon Club: The lineup’s mostly new, but the ‘70s British glam rockers Sweet were back raising hell again…on their “Are You Ready Steve?” tour that bassist Steve Priest kicked off last year.  The reconstituted Sweet, featuring guitarist Stuart Smith, keyboardist Stevie Stewart, drummer Richie Onori and powerhouse, crowd-pleasing lead singer Joe Retta, kept the crowd roaring with classics (Little Willy, Love Is Like Oxygen, Teenage Rampage), lesser know hits (California Nights) and a clapalong, dancealong cover of I Saw Her Standing There.”                        Music Connection, April, 2009 

 “Was it bubble-gum? Glam? Hard rock? A singles band in an album era, Sweet played pop melodies through the 70s with such joy and malevolence that the English Quartet typically confounded critics in the US, where much of their catalog went unreleased.  For every glam-tastic American hit like Ballroom Blitz there were equally catchy UK protopunk smashes like Teenage Rampage that suggested the Who covering the Archies via a phalanx of violent guitars, vicious drums and castrato-high harmaronies…Sweet were the glitter gang Def Leppard always wanted to be.”                      

Rolling Stone, April 12, 2009

Sweet: Live in America is being manufactured using CD on Demand from CreateSpace, part of the Amazon group of companies. With CreateSpace, CDs are only manufactured as customers place an order. The album is also available for digital download via Amazon MP3.

Memorial Services for Director Richard Monfort

(Canoga Park, CA)  The recent loss of Richard Monfort, also known as Richard de Montfort, has left his friends and fans devastated. A directorial fixture at Hustler Video, Monfort spent many of his last days at the LFP Studios working on various projects. Not only was he an exciting and vibrant pornographer, but he was a prolific photographer and trusted and loyal friend to everyone at Hustler Video.

“It was hard news to take,” says Creative Director Drew Rosenfeld. “He wasn’t just a director, he was a good friend and I will miss him terribly. Richard always had these fun and crazy ideas. He was so passionate about everything he did.” His death came as a shock to many in the porn industry. “There were so many layers to Richard that many people didn’t know about,” says Carin Misterly, Marketing Associate. “He was a very intelligent and well-versed man. I am going to miss his visits to our offices. I was always anxious to hear what he planned to do next.”

Memorial services will be held for Richard at ForestLawnHollywoodHillsCemetery, in the chapel, this Saturday, July 18, at 9:30 a.m.

“Richard Monfort should be remembered for his creativity and love for this industry,” says Rosenfeld. “We were lucky to have the opportunity to share this time with him and work with him. He will be greatly missed.”

It has been asked for all who attend to bring flowers for the service.

The official memorial information is as follows:

Hustler Video Defies Reality With Hustler’s Untrue Hollywood Stories!

(Canoga Park, CA) – Hustler introduces its newest parody line with the celebutante slam Hustler’s Untrue Hollywood Stories: Lindsay Lohan!

Hustler Video presents its own comic take on the television documentary with this over-the-top reality spoof. The mockumentary follows the troubled starlet through the trials and tribulations of being Lindsay Lohan. Watch as Lindsay avoids Paps, goes in and out of rehab, drinks and smokes, has wardrobe malfunctions and deals with her on-and-off romance with Sam Ronson! This is definitely the movie parody Lindsay doesn’t want the world to see!

“We’ve all imagined what really goes on behind closed doors with Lindsay Lohan,” says director Jimmy DiGiorgio. “She is the epitome of the out-of-control party girl who does whatever she wants, whenever she wants.” Scarlett Fay portrays Lindsay in the spoof. “It is unreal how much Scarlett resembles Lindsay,” says Drew Rosenfeld, Creative Director at Hustler Video. “She is a ringer for her—not just physically, but also with her mannerisms. She’s great!”

The parody documents Lindsay’s every move through her troubled and wild life. She has a seductive photo-shoot portraying Marilyn Monroe, gets advice from her bff, Paris Hilton, has a catfight with Scarlett Johansson and breaks up and makes up with her gal pal, Sam. And don’t count out mommy dearest, Dina. She has her moment in the spotlight too. If she’s not off plotting against her daughter, she’s wreaking a little havoc of her own on the world.

HUHS: Lindsay Lohan features Lilo carbon copy Scarlett Fay as Lindsay, Dylan Ryan as Sam, Eden Adams as Paris and also stars Sadie Swede, Nicole Ray, Jay Lassiter, Rocco Reed, Ralph Long, Chris Charming and a special appearance by Ron Jeremy.

To see the trailer, check out:  http://www.hustlerworld.com/announcements/hustlers-untrue-hollywood-stories-lindsay-lohan/

The movie is available for streaming right now to members of Hustler.com.

Hustler Warns: The Whores Have Eyes

(Canoga Park, CA) – A small desert town in the middle of nowhere is plagued by radiation, causing the female inhabitants to become mutated nymphomaniacs. Don’t venture out alone: The Whores Have Eyes!

Hustler Video brings you a dark tale about a family that travels to the desert. Dan and his wife are taking their daughters and son-in-law out on a camping excursion. They come to a small gas station where they are warned by the attendant to fill up and keep moving. Not paying heed to the warning, they inevitably run out of gas and become stranded. Dan must trek back to the gas station while the family stays behind. There’s just one thing…they’re not alone.

“We really wanted to do something a little different,” says Jeff Thill, Director of Operations. “This parody is much darker and twisted…definitely not sugar-coated.” Directed by Stuart Canterbury, The Whores Have Eyes has a great cast, fun costumes and a dark and eerie set. “This movie has its laughs, but the focus really is on the hot and wild sex,” says Creative Director Drew Rosenfeld. “These are cum-thirsty sex fiends. They’re hot. They’re horny. And they will stop at nothing to get what they need.”

With her hunger for sex raging wildly, Tara, played by Britney Amber, sinks her claws into Eric, the gas station attendant. Seducing him with her heaving tits and luscious big lips, Tara works her way into his pants and pulls out his huge cock. After gulping and slurping him senseless, she exposes her untamed pussy. He is no victim, as this is not the first time she’s satisfied her hunger with his man meat. She gives him every position she’s got until he releases a load on her savage face.

The Whores Have Eyes has an all-star cast that includes Britney Amber, Ryder Skye, Kenzi Marie, Tricia Oaks, Claudia Valentine, Aiden Starr, Jackie Avalon, Lilly Kingston, Alan Stafford, Marcus London, Eric Swiss and Chris Cannon. With a fun storyline, hot sex and a ton of gorgeous women, The Whores Have Eyes is a Hustler must-have!

The Whores Have Eyes is waiting for you, NOW!

Mötley Crüe manager Allen Kovac notes, “Mötley Crüe has always added value for their fans whether it be through their music, their merchandise or their stage production, it has served them well in their career.”

Monster Energy Stage will create a unique online community offering exclusive content from Crüe Fest 2 acts, in addition to the local bands.

The new site is set to launch soon, visit www.monsterenergy.com for details.

“Mötley Crüe is such an iconic band with the most loyal fans in the world. In a time where it seems everything is being cut back, Mötley Crüe is giving more to its fans and at the same time giving up and coming bands exposure.  Monster Energy is proud to be a part of the havoc that will be wreaked across the nation this summer,” says Brent Hamilton of Monster Energy.

The Monster Second Stage will not travel to Minot, ND, Portland, OR, Las Vegas, NV, Kansas City, MO and Syracuse, NY.

Their album will feature songs like the propulsive first single “Champagne”(now on over 125 radio stations across the US), the uplifting power ballad “Let It Go,” the blistering “Cry Wolf,” and the strutting “Blame.”  Bright Nights Dark Days is a passionately played collection of hard-hitting rock and roll with keenly felt lyrics about life, love, and the acceptance that comes with realizing that all we can do is to try and be the best person we can for those we love.


About Shram:

14 year old Jason Hartless on drums and Dave Dion on bass/vocals.  They’ve been

ANTHRAX's SCOTT IAN TAKES BREAK FROM WORLD TOUR
TO PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP POKER

Los Angeles, CA - July 10, 2009 -- Scott Ian, guitarist for the multi-Platinum Anthrax, starts Day 3 in the Main Event at the World Series of Poker today. Out of 6,494 who entered the no-limit hold'em world championship of poker series, Ian is one of only 1,486 still in the game and in contention to walk away with the first prize of more than $8.5-million. Anthrax headlined the kick off of the Rocklahoma festival last night, so Ian flies to Las Vegas this morning, landing about 9:30AM local time, will cab it to the hotel, grab a shower, and head to the Rio Hotel to resume playing.

This is Ian's first time playing in the WSOP Main Event, having played his first game on Monday after flying in from Europe where Anthrax has been on tour for the past several weeks.

Ian, a poker professional and member of the UltimateBet online team, has played home poker games with buddies like Keanu Reeves, Kirk Hammet, Slash, Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantreall and Vinnie Paul of Pantera. He hosted his first "Scott Ian's Home Game" online poker tournament last March, and will do the honors again this August.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIAK0wSVvHc

Los Angeles, CA - July 8, 2009 -- For nearly three decades, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and drummer Dave Lombardo have proven over and over, whether in the studio or on the concert stage, that there is Slayer and then there's everyone else.  And they're about to do it again, first with the band's co-headline spot on this summer's Mayhem Festival, and then with the late summer release of their ninth studio album, World Painted Blood (American Recordings/Columbia Records).

Some dozen new songs comprise World Painted Blood which was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009.  World Painted Blood was produced by Greg Fidelman, who's spent time in the studio with Metallica, the Gossip, the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Slipknot and others, and executive produced by long-time Slayer colleague, Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project.

Recording World Painted Blood was a unique experience for Slayer who has historically begun the recording process with all songs written and fully rehearsed.  This time, in part to make sure they could work with Fidelman, they had ideas, but did the bulk of writing and song development while in the studio.  "Writing in the studio was a new idea for Slayer," said Fidelman.  "I think the fact that the songs were still new and fresh to them, and they hadn't been playing them for six months in rehearsal, kept the vibe and excitement in the studio very high."

"There are two principal music writers in this band, so you're going to get a combination of speed and heaviness," said Araya.  "Kerry's writing is really aggressive and fast, while Jeff likes things to be fast, but with melodies and grooves.  In making this album, we seemed to share the same vision from song ideas to titles; when we get together as Slayer, it just happens, nothing is contrived, it's not thought out, we just do it, and we did that with this new album."

The band members agree that Hanneman set a tone for the album early on.  "Jeff's coming in so early with three new songs really added an energy that got us all going," said Lombardo, "and combined with what Greg brought to the equation, everything just fell into place and moved quickly.  We had a great chemistry.

"On this album," continued Lombardo, "Jeff's gone back to this great punk energy, especially with 'Psychopathy Red.'"

The track "Psychopathy Red" was inspired by the heinous Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, aka the Rostov Ripper, who confessed to brutally murdering 56 children.  "Psychopathy Red" had leaked onto the Internet well before November 2008 and has been streamed  more than a half-million times since; it was released as a limited edition, blood-red vinyl 7-inch in April for Record Store Day.

"The  new music has an '80s vibe to it, and I think that's because of the way we wrote it," said King.  We were together during the writing process more than we had been before, and while my name will be on the songs I wrote, and Jeff's will be on the ones he wrote, there was a lot of interaction between us while the songs were taking shape."
Adds Lombardo, "On this record, we worked a lot more collectively, we were more attentive to each other's ideas and willing to try them, which only benefited the album.  I'm really excited about the new album because of its diversity, the different elements that all of us contributed to it.  And that includes Greg Fidelman who brought the band out of its normalcy, he got a lot out of us.  We tapped into some new drum rhythms and new guitar riffs, and some really exciting music developed in the Slayer camp."

King, a close friend of the late "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, had the guitarist's guitar in the studio during some of the recording (although he didn't use it it during the sessions), still with the same strings that were on it the last time Dimebag played it.  "The one thing that made me look at my lead playing a little differently was when Dimebag passed away," revealed King.  "Not that I'm going to fill Dime's shoes because nobody can do that, but I paid more attention to my leads while recording this album.  I wanted to make them more memorable in memory of Dime."

As World Painted Blood is a Slayer album, it deals with topics such as death and destruction, war, serial killers, and the Apocalypse.  In addition to "Psychopathy Red," other tracks on World Painted Blood include "Beauty Through Order" (King:  "one of Jeff's songs, it has a very heavy 'do me' intro to it then explodes with a really cool vibe,") "Unit 731," "Playing With Dolls" (Dave:  an awesome track, great song structure, great vibe"), "Public Display of Dismemberment," and "Americon," a King composition.  King explains, "It's about what I think the rest of the world thinks of America.  We may not be big on a lot of people's lists, but I don't care what you think of my government, of my economy, or whatever.  I live here and this is one of the best places that I've ever found to live.  So f*#k you if you don't like it."

This summer's Mayhem Festival will mark the second time that Slayer and Marilyn Manson have co-headlined a tour together.  "I had fun when we toured with Manson two years ago," said King.  "Manson's a friend of mine and Twiggy's [Ramirez] back in the band, so it can only be that much better.  We'll probably play two new songs, 'Psychopathy Red' being one of them - not sure what the other one will be.  And, I'm curious to see Manson's set, I love watching him play because there's always something going on.  It's going to be a great summer tour, a lot of fun for everyone."

Six Gold albums, three Grammy nominations and two wins, and countless other awards including being named "Best Live Band" in Revolver, SPIN, and Metal Hammer...after nearly 30 years, what is it about Slayer that continues to connect them with consecutive generations?  Fidelman explains it this way:  "Each guy has to be here for this to be Slayer.  Individually, they are all really good at what they do, but when you put them in a room together, it creates something really unique - the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.  What those parts are, I'm still not sure, but when when you hear it, you know it."

Mercyful Fate to release new versions of “Evil” and “Curse Of The Pharaohs” on iTunes!
As many of you already know, Mercyful Fate's Evil is featured as a playable track on Guitar Hero: Metallica. Mercyful Fate re-recorded these two tracks specifically for the game because the original masters no longer exist. Now, the band is making both available to fans to purchase on iTunes! These versions were recorded at Earplug Studio in Copenhagen and Nomad Recording Studio in Dallas, Texas. They were both mastered by Andy LaRocque at his Sonic Train Studio in Sweden.

King Diamond comments: “It was a lot of fun to get a chance to re-record "Evil" and "Curse of the Pharaohs" from our 1983 "Melissa" album. It was cool to go into the studio and try to figure out all the various harmony vocals and see if I could still do them. The other guys had a lot of fun with this project too, and the whole thing turned out much better than we could have hoped for. Everyone nailed their performances and Hank's solos were even slightly improved. Everything is right where it should be and with a much better sound! The “feel” was there and all of the guys - Hank, Denner, Timi and Bjarne are all naturals. The versions that will be up on iTunes were mastered by Andy LaRocque and even with a 2009 sound, there's no doubt that these songs were recorded by Mercyful Fate!”

If you have yet to check out Guitar Hero: Metallica - make sure you do! King Diamond himself is a playable character in the game once you unlock the Evil track! Plus, a video of King Diamond's on-stage performance with Metallica at Ozzfest 2008 in Dallas is included as a bonus feature in the game.

Evil and Curse Of The Pharaohs will be available for fans to purchase digitally on July 14th. A special edition picture disc vinyl single will be available on September 1st!

Henri Pachard, Remembered

(Canoga Park, CA)  LFP Distribution releases the ultimate tribute to one of the most prolific and notable porn directors with Back Strokes & Toilet Fantasies: An Ode to Henri Pachard. All proceeds from the sales of the DVD are going to the Pachard family.

This project meant the world to Henri’s wife, D. Pachard. “I cannot express enough gratitude to Mr. Flynt for his compassion, love and generosity,” she states. “Thank you to all the staff involved, and to Drew Rosenfeld, whose personal touches to this project have touched my heart so deeply. I can hardly hold back the tears of joy.”

Establishing himself in the late ’60s, Pachard was a mainstay in the sexploitation genre at the center of New York’s grindhouse scene. Henri’s dedication to his craft was evident with the huge body of work he created over 40 years in the business. “Henri would say, ‘That’s the shot!’ when he could see it all,” says D. Pachard. “The pussy, a dick, a woman’s face; her eyes filled with heated expressions mixed with confusion and passion as she is being fucked with her face touching the coolness of a porcelain toilet bowl. I believed Henri enjoyed it as much as they did!” Working side by side with Henri the last 12 years of his life, D. Pachard was not only his partner but part of his vast support network. “He built his reputation on being a man of honor and a promise to take us places in our collective sexuality we might not have known we could go and/or could return to.”

In a pinnacle scene, the persona of Henri Pachard is channeled through longtime friend Randy Spears.  Acting as the famed director, he instructs Jada Fire and Stephanie Swift in an erotic sex scene.  “Ron was able to see the scene with Randy portraying him,” says D. Pachard.  “He not only enjoyed it, but was very touched by the tribute.” 

When asked about the man behind the legend, D. Pachard added, “He loved to write and play poker. He was courageous and dynamic and loved life on life’s terms; never the one to stay in the ‘slows’ for too long.”

The DVD has seven hot and wild sex scenes, one directed by Paul Thomas, and has numerous interviews, commentaries and fond memories from the industry’s biggest names, including Roy Karch, Paul Thomas, Fred Lincoln, Herschel Savage, Nina Hartley, Ron Jeremy and many more. It features two bonus scenes from classic VCA films directed by Henri Pachard. 

Back Strokes & Toilet Fantasies stars Meghan Malone, Penny Flame, Mae Victoria, Kelly Leigh, Jada Fire, Stephanie Swift, Anna Mills, Kandi Hart, Randy Spears, Nick East, Tom Byron, Trent Tesoro and Ron Jeremy.

Back Strokes & Toilet Fantasies: An Ode to Henri Pachard hits streets July 7th!

Bundy: A Legacy of Evil

Inspired by the True Story of One of History’s Most Demented

Serial Killers, Stalking Onto DVD July 21st

LOS ANGELES — July 1, 2009 — For Immediate Release — The grizzly cross-country

killing spree of one of America’s most infamous serial killers is chillingly recreated in Bundy, stalking onto DVD July 21 from Barnholtz Entertainment (distributed by Lionsgate Entertainment).

Bundy, starring Corin Nemec (The Stand, Stargate SG-1, Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck) in the title role and co-starring Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Parts VII and VIII, B.T.K., Ed Gein, Hatchet), details the dark psyche and previously unexplored motivations of the man who became known as one of the most notorious serial killers to leave behind a legacy of evil.

Born Theodore Robert Cowell, Ted Bundy was a handsome, charming all-American guy who shocked friends, family and the nation when he was convicted of the killings of numerous young women in Washington, Utah, Colorado and four other states between 1974 and 1978.

Having twice escaped from police custody, he was finally apprehended in February 1978 and executed in Florida on January 24, 1989. After more than a decade of vigorous denials, he eventually confessed to over 30 murders, although the actual total of victims remains unknown. Estimates range from 29 to over 100.

Bundy is presented in anamorphic widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and either 5.1 surround audio or 2.0 stereo audio. Special features include director’s commentary, stills gallery, Spanish subtitles and closed captioning.

MEGADETH ANNOUNCE ENDGAME AS TITLE OF TWELFTH STUDIO RECORD, DUE OUT IN SEPTEMBER

ALBUM PRODUCED BY ANDY SNEAP AND DAVE MUSTAINE

REVEAL SEVERAL TRACK TITLES

New York, NY: Heavy metal institution Megadeth have announced ENDGAME as the title of their twelfth studio album. The album is expected to be released in September through Roadrunner Records. It was recorded at the band’s brand new, self-built studio, Vic’s Garage, located near San Diego and named after the legendary and iconic Vic Rattlehead character.

ENDGAME is being produced by Andy Sneap and Dave Mustaine. Sneap also manned the boards for 2007’s United Abominations. Some track titles include “Headcrusher,” “1,320,’” “How the Story Ends” and “This Day We Fight!”

ENDGAME boasts the technicality, ferocity and snarl that’s synonymous with Megadeth and Mustaine.  It’s a violent masterwork that represents Mustaine’s best work in nearly two decades. In a musical world dominated by bands that make generic, blanket statements, ENDGAME finds Mustaine, once again, making informed and substantial lyrical declarations about the state of the world we live in.

Mustaine himself commented on ENDGAME, saying, “Thematically, I’ve never been known to be a silent bystander in a world that needs our participation.  As more is revealed about our former President’s legacy, a little-known yet staggeringly frightening document which was signed into law, named ‘ENDGAME,’ has been uncovered. The album ‘ENDGAME’ is the most energetic music offering I have penned in over a decade and is far more believable than knowing someone signed ‘ENDGAME’ -the document- into law.  The album is also the perfect ‘ass- kicking’ music to listen to once you are done reading the aforementioned document!”

In short, it’s the Megadeth record that fans of classics like So Far…So Good…So What? and Rust in Peace have been chomping at the bit for.

“This new album is my proudest moment since the famous (or infamous) Rust in Peace album,” Mustaine also said. “With this album, I am also very excited to be introducing my new lead guitarist Chris Broderick to the world. I have always felt lucky to have had top shredders in that position, but after touring with Chris in support of my last album, I couldn’t wait to get into the studio and see what he could do.”

Megadeth’s lineup consists of Mustaine, Broderick, bassist James LoMenzo and drummer Shawn Drover.

Earlier this year, Mustaine was the recipient of the “Golden God Award” at the first ever Golden Gods Awards, presented by Revolver.

AUTHOR GREG PRATO'S MAGAZINE WRITING SHOWCASED
IN NEW BOOK, 'NO SCHLOCK.JUST ROCK!'

In addition to being the author of three well-received books (2008's 'A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other: The Story of Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon' and 'Touched By Magic: The Tommy Bolin Story,' plus 2009's 'Grunge is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music'), writer Greg Prato also regularly contributes to several websites and magazines. His latest book, 'No Schlock.Just Rock!' (released through Lulu.com) collects most of Greg's writing for the UK-based mags Classic Rock, Guitarist, Metal Hammer, and Record Collector, between a five-year span (2003-2008).

Separated into three sections according to genre - "Classic Rock," "Heavy Metal," and "Punk/Alt-Rock" - the 276-page book includes features that cover the entire histories of some of Greg's favorite bands - Faith No More, Bad Brains, Soundgarden, the Meat Puppets, the Raspberries, and the no-holds-barred tale of G.G. Allin. Also included are articles/interviews on Rush, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Steely Dan, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Cheap Trick, the Ramones, and Queens of the Stone Age, among many other fascinating rock n' rollers (even William Shatner!). You'll also find the three articles that eventually led to Greg's Melon, Bolin, and Grunge books.

'No Schlock.Just Rock!' is the next best thing to experiencing live rock n' roll - minus getting fleeced for parking, unsanitary restrooms, and having some drunk nudnik screaming in your ear. Or as the author suggests in the book's foreword, "Kick back, relax, adjust your iPod to the appropriate artist, read on, and most importantly.LONG LIVE ROCK N' ROLL!!!"

MEGADETH AND SLAYER TO CO-HEADLINE "CANADIAN CARNAGE" JUNE TREK

Monday, April 27, 2009 -- Talk about a mind-blowing line-up. Slayer and Megadeth - two of the bands that defined the thrash/metal genre - will perform together for the first time in more than 15 years when they co-headline four shows in Canada in late June. The tour, dubbed "Canadian Carnage," will also feature Machine Head and Suicide Silence, and will see Megadeth and Slayer each closing two of the four shows. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, May 2, and will be available at all Ticketmaster outlets and at Ticketmaster online.

Few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer brings to its live shows, having been named "Best Live Band" by numerous media outlets including Revolver, SPIN, and Metal Hammer. Slayer - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, vocalist/bassist Tom Araya and drummer Dave Lombardo - is currently in Los Angeles recording its as yet untitled tenth studio album with Greg Fidelman producing and Rick Rubin executive producing. Fans were given an early taste of the brutal new Slayer material when "Psychopathy Red," a song inspired by the heinous Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, who confessed to savagely murdering 56 children, was recorded last October and then leaked online. Attendees of "Canadian Carnage" will be treated to Slayer performing "Psychopathy Red" live on stage. Plans are to release the new album in July, in tandem with the Mayhem Festival tour Slayer is co-headlining with Marilyn Manson.

With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, the icon that is Megadeth culminated earlier this month, with Dave Mustaine's acceptance of the highly coveted "Golden God" accolade and the band's headline performance at the inaugural Revolver Golden Gods Awards in Los Angeles. Megadeth - lead guitarist/lead vocalist Dave Mustaine, lead and rhythm guitarist Chris Broderick, bassist James Lomenzo and drummer Shawn Drover - is currently recording their 12th studio album in Los Angeles with Andy Sneap. The disc is scheduled for release later this summer to coincide with a full scale world tour. Known for their ferocious live show, Megadeth will once again bring this intensity to their loyal throng of Canadian followers.

Bay Area titans Machine Head add to the carnage as main support. Machine Head - vocalist/guitarist Robb Flynn, guitarist Phil Demmel, bassist/backing vocalist Adam Duce and drummer Dave McClain - are currently touring in support of their critically-acclaimed and Grammy nominated The Blackening. Since its release, the band has been awarded both Best Album at the Metal Hammer Awards and Album of the Year at Kerrang's annual ceremony that same year. And with a fan base so rabid, they've actually been banned from certain U.S. venues, Machine Head will bring with them the relentless stage show they are renowned for.

There is little doubt in anyone's mind that Suicide Silence is one of the frontrunners of the new wave of American metal, a statement further validated as the group won the "Best New Talent" award at the inaugural Revolver Golden Gods Awards, held at Club Nokia in Los Angeles on April 7. The group was also hailed as the event's breakthrough artist by the L.A. Times, but make no mistake that this extreme juggernaut is not resting on its laurels and is about to take things up a notch with their highly-anticipated sophomore release, No Time to Bleed, which was produced by acclaimed producer Machine (Lamb of God) and set for a June 30 release.

Dates for the Megadeth/Slayer co-bill are:

June
24 GM Place, Vancouver, BC
26 Rexall, Edmonton, AB
27 Saddledome, Calgary, AB
29 MTS Centre, Winnipeg, MB

MINISTRY OVERCOMES PUNCTURED LUNGS, SEAGULL ATTACKS,
AND POLICE ESCORTS
TO ASSEMBLE ADIOS...PUTA MADRES 2-DVD SET

Hell Paso, TX - Monday, March 30, 2009 -- While MINISTRY's studio albums certainly show why the group is considered a stylistic trailblazer, it is on the concert stage that Ministry takes things to a whole other level. And as evidenced by fans that packed venues to catch the group one final time on their worldwide "C U LaTouR 2008," the Al Jourgensen-led band was slaying crowds up 'til the final note. For those unenlightened souls who don't take our word on this, feast your eyes and ears on the new double-disc DVD set, Adios...Puta Madres, to be released on May 26 in North America, on May 22 in Europe, and accompanies the audio release of the same title, out tomorrow, March 31, 2009, on Jourgensen's own 13th Planet Records.

The double DVD disc Adios...Puta Madres is distinguished by secondary titles: the Adios...Puta Madres/En Vivo? disc contains 15 live performance tracks, and Adios...Puta Madres/Fuchi Requiem is a 45-minute on-the-road "rockumentary" that follows the band from rehearsals all the way to their final shows in Europe. Backstage bits, interviews, and live footage abound, while the DVD contains some extra tracks not on the live CD.

While there were no arrests on Ministry's final jaunt (unlike previous tours), it was certainly not a tour for the squeamish - especially if you were a band member. "Highlights" included guitarist Tommy Victor falling down stairs in Calgary, and breaking two ribs and puncturing his lung, Al enduring a vicious seagull attack outside a Swedish hotel (the seagull stole his sandwich and devoured it mid-air), and the group's bus breaking down at 6:00am on a French highway, resulting in a multi-police vehicle escort to a safe haven (the nearest gas station). But according to Jourgensen, he got to experience an unforgettable moment each and every night. "This whole tour, all I really gave a fuck about was 'the balloon drop' at the end of the night. I was like a little five-year-old kid, like 'Hey, when do the birthday cake and clowns come out?' I LOVED that part of the show!"

Perhaps another deciding factor in what made these last Ministry shows so special was that the band members were like peas in a pod together. "Ministry during the '90s - everyone hated each other. After the shows, everyone would scatter and go to different hotels, different this and that. Even on the bus, some people weren't allowed to go to the front section, some people couldn't go to the back section. The only time we'd ever talk, I'd hand out the setlist five minutes before the set, and that was it - then we'd scatter. But this last line-up was just like a band of pirates going down the road.

For Ministry's 2006 "MasterBaTouR," Prong's Tommy Victor and Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven joined Jourgensen in support of the Rio Grande Blood release, which they also helped to pen. Al explains, "We were all set to do that same line-up, outside of Joey Jordison who had prior commitments with Slipknot, so we borrowed AAron Rossi from Prong. But then Raven, our bass player, died. We were desperate, and instead of having auditions, we were just like, 'Let's call up Tony [Campos]!' It was fortunate that the Static-X schedule wasn't going to conflict with the final Ministry tour. And then of course, John Bechdel had been with us for a couple of tours, and Sin [Quirin] was with us for the last Revolting Cocks tour and album, and also wrote The Last Sucker with me."

The result is a set that is sure to be an audio/video treat for fans, as nothing but state-of-the-art equipment was utilized during its recording. The group traveled with two high-end Digitech boards - one for on-stage monitors and one for the front of house. For the front of house rig, a 56-channel ProTools rig was added, so the entire show could be recorded in 56 channels and put into hard drives. That way, Al could mix it in the studio after the tour, which is precisely what he did...after all the smoke and tinnitus had cleared.

With Ministry now laid to rest, Jourgensen refuses to sit idle, as he already has his foreseeable future booked solid with studio work. "Even though the new RevCo just hit stores, we're almost done with the next RevCo album. We're trying to get it done before the guys go on tour in September to support Sex-O-Olympic-O on the 'LuBricaTouR' - we plan on being done with that album in August. Then I'm producing the new Prong album for September/October. After that, I'm doing a Lard project with Jello Biafra - we're resurrecting that - in November/December. And then in January/February, I'm doing a project with Joey Jordison called J vs. J. I'm booked for the next year, basically."

And finally, how does Jourgensen compare the CD and DVD versions of Adios...Puta Madres to previous Ministry discs? "Since I've lived it, I never listened to it. So it's got to be up to you guys to decide that."

ANTHRAX TO HEADLINE OPENING OF
3RD ANNUAL ROCKLAHOMA MUSIC FESTIVAL

"After we're done, 'Rocklahoma' will have to change its name to 'Metalhoma.' I mean 'Oklametal.' 'Oklaheavyometala.' You get the idea." -- Scott Ian, Anthrax

Los Angeles, CA - Thursday, March 26, 2009 -- The celebration of Anthrax's 25th anniversary is about to begin in earnest, as Anthrax, recognized as one of the founders of thrash metal, with worldwide sales in excess of ten million copies, will bring its brand of New York metal to Oklahoma when they kick off the third annual, four-day Rocklahoma Festival set for July 9 - 12 in Pryor, Oklahoma. Anthrax will headline the festival's July 9 opening night.

"We want to start the HEAVY DAY at Rocklahoma," said Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, "and after we play nothing but heavy f%#*ing metal, Oklahoma will never be the same."

Anthrax's Rocklahoma Festival appearance will be in support of the band's first new studio album in six years, Worship Music, scheduled for a summer release, and the May 12 release of the limited edition, three-record vinyl reissue of the band's first album, Fistful of Metal, which originally came out twenty-five years ago. Worship Music will mark the studio debut of new singer Dan Nelson who joins long-time members Benante and Scott Ian (rhythm guitar), Frank Bello (bass) and Rob Caggiano (lead guitar).

The Rocklahoma festival will be Anthrax's only North American concert appearance until they launch their own major trek here later this year. The Rocklahoma organizers will announce the full July 9 talent lineup next week.

SLAYER 7-INCH - "Psychopathy Red" - FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE...
Available As Part of Record Store Day

LOS ANGELES, CA - Tuesday, March 24, 2009 -- "Psychopathy Red," the first new track from Slayer since 2006's thrashterpiece Christ Illusion, will be available as a 7-inch vinyl disc beginning Saturday, April 18, 2009 as part of the third annual Record Store Day. Only 5,000 of these limited edition discs will be manufactured worldwide, and will be available exclusively at participating independent record stores - log onto www.recordstoreday.com for the list of participating stores.

The blood-red vinyl "Psychopathy Red" 7-inch collectors item will be packaged in a special Russian crime scene "evidence envelope," as the song was inspired by the heinous Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, aka the Rostov Ripper, who confessed to brutally murdering 56 children. The song was recorded by the band - guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo - in a Los Angeles recording studio last October.

April 18 marks "Record Store Day," the annual day that celebrates the unique culture surrounding the more than 700 independently owned record stores across the U.S. and hundreds of similar stores internationally. The members of Slayer chose to unleash "Psychopathy Red" on this day - and only through independent record stores - to acknowledge the support those outlets have offered to the band and to metal music over the years.

Slayer is currently in a Los Angeles studio recording a brand-new album due out this Summer. The band will co-headline with Marilyn Manson on the five-week Mayhem Festival set to kick off July 10 in Sacramento, CA. In addition, Kerry King and Tom Araya are set to make a special appearance at the Ephiphone Revolver Golden Gods Awards to be held in Los Angeles on April 7, where they will present the "Best Live Band" award to Slipknot. Slayer was presented with its first Golden God Award in 2004 when the band was named "Best Live Band."

MEGAFORCE RECORDS CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ANTHRAX'S "FISTFUL OF METAL" WITH 3-RECORD VINYL RELEASE

"Anthrax's music matters. In the pantheon of modern metal, Anthrax is certainly a cornerstone, and if one listens, one can hear their influence on any number of up and coming bands of the new generation." -- Kirk Hammett, Metallica

"This is where we were in 1984, young adults making a musical statement. We really didn't know what we were starting, we were just living it." -- Charlie Benante, Anthrax


Los Angeles, CA - Wednesday, March 25, 2009 -- One of the albums that can be pinpointed to as the birth of thrash metal is Anthrax's 1984 debut, Fistful of Metal, a recording that perfectly set the stage for the group's subsequent triumphs, and introduced the world to this hard-hitting New York band. To celebrate the album's 25-year anniversary, Megaforce Records is releasing a limited edition (only 2,000 copies will be made) vinyl release of the album on May 12, 2009. But this is no ordinary vinyl reissue, as it will be spread over three 10-inch records in a tri-fold die cut jacket, and will also include the group's 1985 EP, Armed and Dangerous. The Fistful of Metal vinyl limited edition reissue will retail for $39.98 and will be available at Anthrax's official website - www.anthrax.com - amazon.com and record stores across the country.

"We thought, 'What kind of a great package do we do?'," says Megaforce Records Vice President, Missi Callazzo. "Everybody thought 'picture disc,' but picture discs don't really sound so great, so what we decided to do were three 10-inch records that will be in a gatefold jacket. We're die-cutting the cover, so the illustration of the guy and the fist are die-cut, and when you pick it up, that's where the Anthrax logo is. We thought something 'super custom' to celebrate the band's 25th anniversary."

Long-time band members Charlie Benante and Scott Ian went into their storage facilities and grabbed old reviews, clips, photos and things from magazines to be used in the package. "Finally, Fistful of Metal with photos!" laughed Ian. "We did a photo shoot for the record back then and we hated the pics. It was fun to get into the time machine and re-live that time, well, for an hour anyway. Listening to the record after 25 years, and it still feels full of life. Strangely, I don't feel too far removed from what we were doing then."

The only Anthrax record to feature singer Neil Turbin and bassist Danny Lilker - in addition to Ian (rhythm guitar), Benante (drums), and Dan Spitz (lead guitar) - Fistful of Metal was originally released in January 1984, spawning such early Anthrax classics as "Deathrider" and "Metal Thrashing Mad." the five-song EP, Armed and Dangerous, was originally released in February 1985, and signaled the recording debuts of singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello. The EP featured re-recordings of two Fistful tracks ("Metal Thrashing Mad" and "Panic"), as well as a cover of the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen," plus two originals, "Raise Hell" and the title track.

Also tying in with the reissue of Fistful of Metal will be Anthrax' first new studio album in six years (and first album for the Megaforce label in almost 19 years), Worship Music, set for a summer release. "I worked with Anthrax years ago," recalls Callazzo, "and when I heard that they were looking for a deal and to do a new album, I talked to them right away. Those guys are literally like family to me. We're all excited that they're back here on the label."

And lastly, how does the music on Fistful of Metal and Armed and Dangerous hold up today? According to Callazzo, "I was doing something, had music on my computer, kind of just running. Y'know how you don't know what is playing because you're working? And I was like, 'Wow, this sounds great,' and it was Anthrax! Fistful off Metal and Armed and Dangerous sound so timeless."

Lisa Ann Joins the Ranks of MILF Trainer!

(Beverly Hills, CA)  Hot off the heels of her 2009 AVN Hall of Fame induction and the top-selling hit Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? Lisa Ann joins forces with Hustler Video to give a few lessons on how to be a successful and fuck-worthy MILF in Lisa Ann: MILF Trainer!

One year after the first installment of the popular MILF series, Hustler Video knew that Lisa Ann was the perfect MILF to mark the anniversary. “Lisa Ann is a phenomenal performer,” says Jeff Thill, Director of Operations. “She is good at what she does, and works very hard for her fans.” Directed by the award-winning Axel Braun, the MILF Trainer series gives a more in-depth look at how hot a MILF can really be. “She is incredibly hot, in more ways than one, and in the latest installment of my MILF Trainer series she proves it over and over again,” says Axel. “I might be biased, but her interracial romp with C.J. Wright is an instant classic!”

Lisa Ann, being an AVN Hall of Famer, tells her audience just what she likes. “Nothing says true MILF more than picking your young stud”, says Lisa Ann. “When I got the opportunity to shoot for Axel Braun, who is also a friend of mine, I asked if I could please bang one of the new guys on my site.  He said “who” and I said, CJ Wright!”  There is no doubt that her charms are unsurpassed. “Using her brains and her drive, she single-handedly reinvented herself after a decade in porn, not only as one of the most sought-after performers, but also as the owner of one of the top talent agencies in the adult industry,” says Braun. 

“Thank you to Hustler”, says Lisa Ann. “I love working for Hustler and I especially enjoy my fantasies becoming a reality on set!”

Lisa Ann starts off the MILF lesson by conjuring up some big cock with her MILFy magic. But it’s not just an ordinary cock she wants; Lisa Ann wants a big, tasty treat—she wants her cock black! With complete control and unfathomable skill, Lisa Ann sucks down C.J. Wright’s thick, luscious dick. After the BJ lesson, Lisa Ann moves on to fucking him hard and long. She continues her lesson later by taking on two cocks at once! With great manual and oral skill, Lisa Ann makes two hearty young men come all over her gorgeous face!

Lisa Ann: MILF Trainer also features Raquel Devine, Victoria Valentina and Anjanette Astoria.

Lisa Ann: MILF Trainer is in stores NOW!

Adult Film and Television Star Sunset Thomas has signed a book deal with New York publishing company World Audience, Inc.

Thomas and her co-writer R. Richard inked the deal this week for a book titled, Anatomy of an Adult Film.  R. Richard is the well-respected and published author of six fiction/erotica novels including Amateur Stripper and Tails of the Pussycat Lounge.

Mr. Richard sought Sunset for her unique insights in the world of adult filmmaking. And the partnership has blossomed seamlessly.

“R. Richard is a master craftsman and I’m the ultimate adult industry insider,” cooed Sunset. “The fact that my final film, Into the Sunset, (available at hustlerhollywood.com) was just released by Larry Flynt Productions makes this entire project cosmically fitting.”

“That Sunset should land a book deal at this juncture in her career, with her final and best onscreen work just hitting the streets is simply over the top,” added Sunset’s publicist Kent Wallace.

“Not only is she working with a much published author, but R. Richard, like Sunset, is a uniquely eccentric virtuoso. Furthermore, this isn’t an autobiography, which it seems every pornstar has penned. This is a literary work. A combination of fiction and erotica borrowing from the realities of the industry Sunset has been a significant member of for close to twenty-years!”

Anatomy of an Adult Film will be published by Shiboleth Press (shibolethpress.com), one of World Audience Publishers’ imprints, and edited by World Audience’s editor-in-chief, VP Kyle Torke, and publisher, CEO M. Stefan Strozier. Kyle and Mike have amassed nearly 150 well-selling, well-reviewed, excellent titles in the relatively short period of time that they have been running World Audience Publishers. 

Pre-orders are available www.shibolethpress.com

ROADRUNNER ANNOUNCES RE-RELEASE OF CLASSIC ALBUMS FROM THE CANON

TYPE O NEGATIVE'S SLOW, DEEP AND HARD and  GLASSJAW'S EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO  KNOW ABOUT SILENCE TO BE REISSUED MARCH 24

New York, NY: Roadrunner Records is proud to announce the rereleasing of two crucial albums from the label's deep, highly respected catalog. Type O Negative's essential Slow, Deep and Hard and Glassjaw's genre-defining Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence will be re-entering the marketplace on March 24 with an assortment of added audio and visual bonuses. 

Type O's head-turning, raw debut, Slow, Deep and Hard, was originally released in 1991 and is credited with launching the black-humored, doomy metal band's career. Type O eventually went on to become the first Gold-certified band on Roadrunner. The reissue is re-mastered, which adds an element of crispness to this classic release's sound. It also includes a bonus track called "Hey Pete." It will also feature new liner notes, redesigned artwork and extra photos. It's a "must have" for fans of Brooklyn's finest.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence by Long Island's Glassjaw was the sounding bell for emotionally aggressive post-hardcore. The album, which unexpectedly impacted the scene like an atom bomb in 2000, was a heart-on-the-sleeve slab of hulking, noisy and earnest rock. It quickly established Glassjaw as one of the architects of today's screamo scene, something for which they take no credit. The reissue features new liner notes as well as the "lost" track, "Convectuoso," in addition to a cover of Youth of Today's hardcore classic, "Modern Love Story."

Each reissue will hit retail shelves on March 24, 2009.

New York (March 3, 2009) – Mötley Crüe announced today they will perform the entire album, Dr. Feelgood, from beginning to end at every performance on their Summer festival tour, Crüe Fest 2 in addition to their hits. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Dr. Feelgood, which became the Crüe’s first #1 album on the Billboard charts.  To celebrate the anniversary, the band plans to theme the second edition of their festival tour with imagery inspired by Dr. Feelgood. Mötley Crüe will reveal details of the tour at a major press conference from the Fuse TV studios on March 16th in New York City and Fuse will air press conference highlights at 9pm ET/PT that evening.

Pre-sale tickets for Crüe Fest 2 are currently available to the public.  Visit www.CrueFest2.com for details.

Eleven Seven Music/Mötley Records will re-release Dr. Feelgood later this spring.  Originally released on September 1, 1989, Dr. Feelgood reached #1 on the Billboard Charts and went on to sell more than 7 million copies worldwide, producing 5 Billboard Hot 100 hits. The title track reached #7 on the Hot 100 and earned the band their first two Grammy nominations (Best Hard Rock Performance: “Dr Feelgood” in 1989 and “Kickstart My Heart” in 1990).  Twenty years later, the band, as vital as ever, were nominated for another Grammy Award and are celebrating their hit album Saints of Los Angeles on their Winter Arena tour.

Notes Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx, "On this summer's Crüe Fest we really wanted to give the fans something they've never seen before.  And since it’s the 20th Anniversary of the release of Dr. Feelgood, we figured what better way to celebrate than to play it live TOP TO BOTTOM every night."

Mötley Crüe recently returned to the charts with Saints of Los Angeles, their first new studio album with the original line-up -- Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil -- in over a decade and the ninth studio album in their career.  Based on the band’s New York Times bestselling book, The Dirt, the disc debuted at #1 on the Independent Album chart and was the top debut of the week on the Billboard’s Top 200 at #4. Last summer’s multi-artist inaugural Crüe Fest was the most successful touring rock festival of the summer season according to Rolling Stone.

KMFDM Records together with The Bicycle Music Company are proud to announce a new full-length album titled Skold vs. KMFDM. The release date is April 7, 2009. Distribution is through KMFDM Records worldwide. Distribution for the album's digital release is through IODA. Skold vs. KMFDM was performed, engineered, recorded and mixed by Sascha Konietzko at KommandoZentrale in Hamburg, Germany and by Tim Skold at The Unabomber Shack in Studio City, California. This collaboration was conceived in June 2008 and completed by early October. Notably the entire album was recorded without the two artists ever being on the same continent, much less in the same room. Konietzko explains "We constantly bounced stuff back and forth over the [FTP] server, and with a time-difference of nine hours between us, it turned out that one of us slept while the other one worked and vice-versa, and thus we got two full days of work done in just 24 hours." Before they began exchanging files, Konietzko and Skold agreed to some ground rules for the album, which included a no-guitars proviso and a "no real drum kits" stipulation. Skold elaborates "This is a very electronic album but the majority of the instruments used are actually analog and many of them are not even electric. What we decided to intentionally avoid this time was the traditional electric guitar. This was done to confuse and bewilder our fans. We like to keep them on their toes and many of them appreciate the challenge." Tim Skold is a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, writer and producer that has played with Shotgun Messiah,

Skold (his self-titled solo-project), KMFDM, MDFMK and Marilyn Manson (where his credits, besides songwriting include bass, guitar, drum and synthesizer programming on the albums The Golden Age of Grotesque, Eat Me Drink Me and Lest We Forget). Skold's production credits include the three Marilyn Manson albums he played on, Skold, Shotgun Messiah, MDFMK and KMFDM. Remix credits include Prong, KMFDM, Rammstein, Lords Of Acid, O.N.A., Bloodhound Gang and Kidney Thieves. Sascha Konietzko, the mastermind and frontman of KMFDM, is a vocalist, synthesist and bassist as well as a composer, audio-engineer and producer. His production credits include KMFDM, Treponem Pal and Sister Machine Gun. Konietzko's remix credits include Metallica, White Zombie, Rammstein, Combichrist, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kittie, Love & Rockets, Megadeth and Flotsam Jetsam.Together Skold and Konietzko also co-produced Peter Murphy (Bauhaus).KMFDM (which included Tim Skold as a full member from 1997-2002) have influenced artists ranging from U2 (see "The Fly" on Achtung Baby) to bands like Korn, God Lives Underwater, Kittie and Rammstein. Top rock critics and metal magazines internationally praise the work of Tim Skold and KMFDM.

On KMFDM Keyboard Magazine wrote "...the 23rd year of creating signature, ultra-heavy beats, and Sascha (Kapt'n K.) and crew seem to be going as strong as ever." And in Revolver Brian Stillman opined "The band rails - with its patented mix of anger and irony - against political and social establishments..." Paul Gargano at LiveDaily adds "KMFDM have been doing it longer than many of these bands have been alive, and "Tohuvabohu" offers a convincing argument that they may still do it better." The duo has been featured in Mix Magazine for their MDFMK album (Republic/Universal, 1999). Bass Player Magazine featured Skold (June 2004 issue). All Music Guide wrote "[MDFMK have] solid programming that reveals a surprising pop sense." Los Angeles Times scribe Greg Burk has often sung Tim Skold's praises. In a 2007 review of the Marilyn Manson album Eat Me, Drink Me, he wrote "Previous Manson guitarists will envy the solo space allotted Skold; a number of exceptional ax workouts perfectly reflect the moods that range from mounting pride to roiling anguish to moaning abjection."

Skold vs. KMFDM is Tim Skold on vocals, programming, live percussion, synth bass and Sascha Konietzko on vocals, programming, analogue synthesizers and sequencers and bass. The twenty-two tracks on the self-titled album, Skold vs. KMFDM, are 1. "Why Me" (4:29), 2. "Bloodsport" Interlude (1:07), 3. "Antigeist" (5:13), 4. "Alkohol" Interlude (0:52), 5. "Bloodsport" (5:06), 6. "Error 404" Interlude (1:58), 7. "Love Is Like" (4:07), 8. "Antigeist" Interlude (1:07), 9. "It's Not What" (4:14), 10. "Love Is Like" Interlude (1:01), 11.

ADIOS...PUTA MADRES...MINISTRY'S FINAL WORLD TOUR
TO BE RELEASED ON CD

Although Al Jourgensen has said adios to Ministry, YOU don't ever have to really say good-bye to the legendary Industrial rock band, thanks to Jourgensen's indie imprint 13th Planet Records. On March 31, 2009, Jourgensen will release "Adios...Puta Madres," a 13-track live audio CD featuring performances from Ministry's Final World Tour, "C U LaTouR 2008," recorded over the course of the band's 75-city global farewell jaunt which kicked off March 25, 2008 in Spokane, WA and concluded with two final sell-out shows in Dublin, Ireland on July 19, 2008. "Adios...Puta Madres" features performances recorded in Serbia, Warsaw, Los Angeles, Chicago, Germany, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, to name a few.

"We had a blast on the final tour and this CD really captures the heart of Ministry live," said Jourgensen, who personally mixed the recordings last fall at 13th Planet Studios alongside his touring front-of-house engineer Michihiro Tanikawa, as well as engineer John Bilberry.

Ministry's all-star line-up for the 2008 "C U LaTouR" featured Ministry's founder Jourgensen joined onstage by guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), keyboardist John Bechdel (Prong, AoTW, False Icons), Static X's Tony Campos on bass, drummer AAron Rossi (Prong), and Fear Factory/Ascension of the Watchers vocalist Burton C. Bell as Special Featured Guest. Most of the performing musicians in the Ministry line-up for the final tour are also recording artists on Jourgensen's 13th Planet Records.

Jourgensen plans to release a follow-up Rocumetary of the tour entitled "Fuchi Requiem" later this year, featuring candid footage that follows the band from rehearsals throughout the entirety of its C U LaTouR, with additional on-camera interviews with the band and crew.

Ministry gems including "Khyber Pass," "Just One Fix," the Grammy-nominated "Lieslieslies," "Life is Good" and "Let's Go" will be included. A full CD track listing is below.

Sunset Thomas’ Much-Awaited Final Flick Hits Streets!

(Beverly Hills, CA)  She’s titillated and satisfied porn fans for over 17 years, had an amazing fan turnout at the Hustler Video booth at AEE 2009 and has been on Tyra Banks and Chelsea Lately. She is Sunset Thomas, and this is her final XXX film.

Directed by award-winning director Axel Braun, Into the Sunset follows our sexy siren as she searches for the perfect penis to share in her swan song to porn. With the help of some of today’s hottest talent and a few friends from the past, Sunset embarks on her final journey. When all is said and done, it is one lucky fan, Chris Bellis from Win Gap, Pennsylvania, that gets the “golden ticket” to travel the road of many a stiff cock.

“The fact that I had a chance to share this moment with one of my fans was amazing!” says the porn icon. “He did a great job, and added so much to an already fantastic movie!” The search for the fan began in 2007 and concluded in January of 2008, when Sunset held a final elimination party at the Olympic Garden in Las Vegas. There, with the help of her industry friends, she chose her man. Fans from all over the world clamored for a chance to give it to Sunset, but it was Chris who won the coveted prize!

Filled with beautiful girls and steamy scenes, it’s the educational five-way that steals the show. Sunset recruits her dear friend Ron Jeremy to act as coach as she introduces Chris to her world. As Sunset gets a stiff fuck from Ron, she seductively sucks on Chris. Like a natural, Chris takes on Sunset, giving her all he’s got. The three are joined by Marco Banderas, who also takes a good whack at Sunset’s infamous twat. But four just isn’t enough for Sunset, so Roma joins in to complete the orgy. It’s all cheers as Sunset’s pretty face gets slathered in cum.

Joining Sunset is an all-star cast, including Penny Flame, Brooke Banner, Mia Presley, Lexi Love, Roma, Nick Manning, Mikey Butders, Jay Lassiter, Marco Banderas, Ron Jeremy and Super-fan Chris Bellis.

You don’t want to miss this one! Into the Sunset is available on DVD and in stores NOW!

ANTHRAX TO "WORSHIP MUSIC" FOR THEIR 25TH ANNIVERSARY
New Album, New Singer, Global Tour

Los Angeles, CA - January 26, 2009 -- ANTHRAX, one of heavy metal's all-time great acts who, along with Slayer, Metallica and Megadeth, are credited with co-founding the thrash genre, will be returning with "Worship Music," the band's first new studio album in six years and a full-on supporting world tour. "Worship Music" is set for a June release on Megaforce Records. The album marks the studio debut of new singer Dan Nelson who joins long-time members Scott Ian (rhythm guitar), Frank Bello (bass), Charlie Benante (drums), and Rob Caggiano (lead guitar). According to early reports, "Worship Music" is Anthrax's heaviest album to date.

In addition, 2009 marks the 25-year anniversary of the release of Anthrax' debut album, 1984's "Fistful of Metal." "I can't even process that it's been 25 years," said co-founding member Ian. "It's insane to me, because when you think about it, who does anything for that long, let alone in the same band? Start making a list of bands that are still around 25 years after their first album, and it's going to be a pretty short list."

About Anthrax's new "Worship Music," Benante explains, "This album has been in the making for two and half, maybe three years. After the reunion tour ended, we all went our separate ways. I started to write songs again, but I had no voice for them in mind, I didn't know who would be the singer. So Scott, Frankie and I got together and just started putting some songs together. This was pretty much the way 'Spreading the Disease' was done, too - we wrote those songs without a definite singer in mind. Then, in October of 2007, I was talking to Rob Caggiano who said he found this guy in Long Island who he thought would be really good - Dan Nelson. So I did some research, called him up, and few him out to Chicago."

According to Bello, it didn't take much time to realize that they had found their man. "Dan brought in the obligatory 'breath of fresh air,' but it really WAS. He has a killer voice and he's a good guy, and really fits Anthrax. The guy sings like nobody I've heard - I'm really proud of what he's done. This is the new Anthrax - yes, it does sound different, but it's in the same heavy/melodic vein. I don't compare it, I just see it as, 'I love the challenge of having a new Anthrax.'"

"While making this album," added Nelson, "I found that if I just tried to approach my vocals from the heart, to not over think anything, I could bring a fresh, heavier yet still melodic approach to an already brutal style of music. Being the singer of Anthrax has already proven to be a great opportunity to play with great musicians."

Shortly after the line-up was solidified, Nelson was welcomed into the Anthrax fold via a true baptism by fire - opening up a pair of sold out shows for the mighty Iron Maiden in California. "The second night, we're backstage," recalls Ian, "[Iron Maiden singer] Bruce Dickinson came over to our dressing room to say hi, and he says to me, 'Your new singer, Dan, is amazing. I was watching you guys from the side of the stage last night - he totally fits you guys, he's perfect. His voice is incredible and strong. I loved it!' And I was like, 'Would you come inside and tell Dan? He'd love to hear it from you.' We walk in the dressing room and I'm like, 'Where's Dan?' And I hear from the bathroom, 'I'm in here, taking a crap!' It was so great - not that we're looking for validation, but when Bruce Dickinson comes up and is congratulating you on your new singer, it's a pretty cool moment."

With sessions just about to wrap for "Worship Music," Benante already has a few favorite songs that he can't wait for the band's fans to sink their teeth into. "This one song called 'Down Goes the Sun,' is probably, for me, the most epic song that I've come up with, it has a lot of life in it. There's a song called 'Earth on Hell,' which is a play on the words 'hell on earth.' That could have been on our 'Among the Living' record. There's another song called 'Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't,' which is about zombies - who doesn't love a good zombie song?" Other standout tracks include "Vampires" (Bello: "It's a dark, heavy groove with some serious, amazing vocals and a great, big chorus"), "Crawl" (Bello: "Another dark song, it's going to throw people for a loop"), "The Devil You Know" (Ian: "It's an almost AC/DC groove filtered through an Anthrax lens"), and "The Giant" (Ian: "It's so brutally in-your-face").

The release of "Worship Music" also sees Anthrax's "return home" to their original label, Megaforce Records. "I just had a nice conversation with Missi Callazzo [Vice President of Megaforce] about how terrific it is to be home again. It's come around full circle. Missi has done above and beyond for this band - including getting us on 'Married...With Children'! Missi absolutely knows how to work a record, she is someone who believes in and lives Anthrax, and we haven't had that in a long time. She knows the band inside and out. She's like a sister of ours." Callazzo herself voices the same sentiment. "It is a thrill and an honor to be releasing the new album by such a pioneering artist. Anthrax and Megaforce always defined one another and it will be great fun to do it again in 2009."

ROB ZOMBIE back to Write & Direct “H2,” Sequel To 2007's Hit Film “HALLOWEEN”

ZOMBIE NOMINATED FOR GRAMMY – BEST HARD ROCK PERFORMANCE “LORDS OF SALEM”

HOLLYWOOD, CA (December 22, 2008) – 2009 is the year of Zombie as Rob Zombie steps forward to write and direct H2, sequel his box office hit HALLOWEEN in 2007.

Once again, Rob Zombie has been tapped to write and direct “H2,” the sequel to Zombie's 2007 reinvention of the horror classic “Halloween.” Malek Akkad of Trancas International Films, who also produced 2007's Halloween with Dimension, will produce the sequel, along with Andy Gould of Spectacle Entertainment Group, Zombie’s long time manager and producing partner.  The announcement was made by Bob Weinstein, Co-Chairman of The Weinstein Company.

Dimension's “Halloween” scored the highest Labor Day weekend opening ever with a record-breaking $30.6 million in its first four days of release and went on to gross nearly $60 million at the domestic box office in 2007.

Zombie’s “H2” will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped and follow the aftermath of Michael Myers murderous rampage through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode.

“H2” will be Zombie’s fifth written and directed feature.  Prior to the success of Halloween, Zombie released the critically-acclaimed film “The Devil’s Rejects” (2005), the follow-up to his cult classic “House of 1000 Corpses” (2004).  Zombie just wrapped production on his animated feature film “The Haunted World of El Superbeasto” due to be released in 2009.  Zombie, also an accomplished recording artist, has sold over fifteen million albums worldwide, making him one of Geffen Records’ top selling and longest running artists.
 
Bob Weinstein stated: "Following the success of 2007’s ‘Halloween,’ we are thrilled to be back in business with Rob Zombie, bringing a sequel to theatres.  The fans have made it clear – and we agree - that they feel the franchise is in great hands with Rob Zombie.”

”I am very excited to be working with Bob Weinstein again and returning to the world of ‘Halloween,’ states Zombie. “The remake laid the groundwork, now it’s time to really take Michael Myers to the next level. I believe we’ve just barely scratched the surface of where we can take this series.“
 
In the music arena, Zombie has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance for Lords of Salem off the Educated Horses album [Geffen Records]. 2009 also brings a new studio album, still un-titled and the White Zombie box set [UMe Records] is out now. Zombie also finished his long time project “The Haunted World of El Superbeasto” a full length cartoon feature whose release date is soon to be announced.

CRADLE of Filth's GODSPEED ON THE DEVIL'S THUNDER DEBUTS AT 48 
ON BILLBOARD TOP 200 ANNOUNCE GROUNDBREAKING VIRTUAL VINYL

New York, NY:  Cradle of Filth's latest album, Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, hailed by Metal Maniacs as "some of the heaviest music ever to spawn forth from their blackened souls," landed in stores recently and notched the number 48 slot on the Billboard Top 200 chart, the highest chart debut in their storied career.

The band will start 2009 off with a bang, as well, spreading their black metal seed across the U.S. in January, when they return for a headline tour with Satyricon and Septic Flesh in tow.

Additionally, the band invites fans to remember the good old days of vinyl, when you'd listen to a new album released by one of your metal heroes while spending countless hours leafing through the gatefold sleeve, enjoying the artwork and pouring through the lyrics while immersing yourself in the whole album experience. Ahh, memories! Maybe you are too young to have had such an experience. Perhaps not. Regardless, take our word for it: that was how an album was meant to be enjoyed. Nowadays, releases with many sonic layers are referred to as "headphone records," while during the vinyl days, headphones weren't quite so necessary in order to pick up the nuances of sound. 

While the onset of digital music and the changing ways in which consumers interact with musical products has made such an engagement more difficult, the always forward-thinking black metal masters Cradle of Filth have come up with an ingenious way to replicate some of that lost magic via 'Virtual Vinyl,' which enhances the listening experience through better visuals, access to lyrics (if you can find the embedded Easter Eggs) and has a unique way of capturing the macabre, menacing essence of their latest wickedly delightful effort, Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder. The 'Virtual Vinyl' also allows the album's stunning, bold and uniquely Cradle'esque artwork to take center stage, as well.

Check it out now at: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/cradleoffilth/virtualvinyl/. Go ahead. We dare you. You can tell us what you think of the new Cradle album when visiting www.roadrunnerrecords.com/cradleoffilth/godspeed.

Lisa Ann From ‘Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?’ Featured on Entertainment Tonight!!!

(Beverly Hills, CA)  Hustler Video is proud to announce that porn superstar Lisa Ann was interviewed as her recent porn alter-ego Sarah Palin by Entertainment Tonight.  Lisa Ann starred as Sarah Palin in Hustler Video’s recent release, Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?. 

Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? features five hard-core scenes, including a three-way with other parodied political figures, namely Hillary Clinton and Condoleeza Rice. 

“I bear a striking resemblance to Palin, so I was waiting for the phone call to play this role.  Sure enough, Hustler Video contacted me to star in their political parody, Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?  I jumped at the opportunity to spoof the recent V.P candidate and what an overwhelming experience it has become for me!  This movie has taken flight and blown up in the media and I’ve been loving every minute of it!  It was an overwhelming opportunity to be interviewed by Entertainment Tonight and to be given the chance to reach out to a wider audience through mainstream television!”

Even the real Sarah Palin gave Hustler’s Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? her stamp of approval when asked by the Quebec pranksters “The Masked Avengers” to comment on Hustler’s movie.

WHITE ZOMBIE’S CAREER-SPANNING 4-CD/1-DVD BOX SET

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie

AVAILABLE 11/25

White Zombie - The musical horrorshow that mixed dark pop culture with metallic hard rock has been resurrected on the 4-CD/1-DVD box set Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (Geffen/UMe), releasing November 25, 2008.  The CDs bring together for the first time all 64 original studio recordings released by the band led by Rob Zombie during its 1985-1996 career.  The DVD offers nine music videos, 10 live performances, and some hidden gems.

Disc One of Let Sleeping Corpses Lie includes all of the tracks released on the New York City band’s own Silent Explosion label--the four songs on the 1985 Gods On Voodoo Moon EP, of which only 300 copies were pressed; the two songs on the 1986 Pig Heaven EP, which had only 1,000 made; and the seven on 1987’s Psycho-Head Blowout EP, which Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain called one of his favorite albums.

Disc Two encompasses White Zombie’s first two full-length albums, 1987’s Soul-Crusher, which began on Silent Explosion but was re-released by Caroline Records the following year, and 1989’s Make Them Die Slowly.  

Disc Three offers the three-selection God Of Thunder EP and the band’s 1992 major label debut, La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Vol. 1, which broke the band into the Top 40, earned double platinum and spawned the Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy-nominated “Thunder Kiss ‘65” and “Black Sunshine” (with Iggy Pop).  Also heard is “I Am Hell” from the soundtrack to the 1993 animated flick The Beavis & Butt-head Experience.

Disc Four opens with “Children Of The Grave” from a 1994 Black Sabbath tribute album and “Feed The Gods” from that year’s Airheads soundtrack album.  The centerpiece, however, is 1995’s Astro-Creep: 2000, Songs Of Love, Destruction And Other Synthetic Delusions Of The Electric Head, which ranked in the Top 10 for two months, was certified triple platinum and spun off the Modern Rock Top 10, Grammy nominated “More Human Than Human.”  The 64 Let Sleeping Corpses Lie recordings conclude with 1996 soundtrack contributions to Escape From L.A., Beavis And Butt-head Do America and The Crow: City Of Angels, with its Grammy nominated cover of the disco hit “I’m Your Boogieman.”

Among the DVD’s videos are those for “More Human Than Human,” winner of the MTV Video Music Award for Best Hard Rock Video, as well as “Thunder Kiss ’65,” “Black Sunshine,” “Super-Charger Heaven,” “I’m Your Boogieman” and “The One.”  Live performances include “Soul-Crusher,” “Spiderbaby (Yeah Yeah Yeah),” “I Am Hell” and “Creature Of The Wheel.”

White Zombie stopped touring and recording in 1998 after the release of the Hellbilly Deluxe, the triple platinum solo debut for Rob Zombie, who has since enjoyed continued success both on record and as a film director with his vision of the dark side.

ARTISTS’ ADDICTION SOUNDTRACKS RELEASES SAW V SOUNDTRACK ON iTUNES OCTOBER 21
 
MINISTRY, TESTAMENT, FILTER, SKINNY PUPPY, THE ALMIGHTY, AND THE REVOLTING COCKS ARE AMONG THE BANDS ON THE UNRELENTING, BALLS-TO-THE-WALL SOUNDTRACK
 
SAW V, THE LATEST INSTALLMENT OF THE HORROR MOVIE FRANCHISE, HITS THEATERS OCTOBER 24
 
September 29. 2008—“Hello…I want to play a game,” those are the immortal words Saw’s sadistic purveyor of self-imposed twisted justice Jigsaw utters to his victims as they come to. And if you hear those words you’re soon to find yourself in a world of hurt. Back for the fifth installment of the Saw horror series this Halloween (in theaters October 24 to be exact), moviegoers will once again cringe in their seats as blood, guts and body parts are up for grabs.
 
And because every sick & twisted horror honcho needs an explosive soundtrack, Artists’ Addiction Soundtracks has compiled a list of incendiary artists such as Ministry, Skinny Puppy, Testament, and Revolting Cocks among the 14 tracks for the volatile digital-only release.
 
What started out as a “little” indie horror movie back in 2004 has turned into a juggernaut go-for-the-throat franchise so gruesome you want to turn away, yet so compelling you just can’t. And fittingly enough, the movie soundtracks have always been amicable counterparts assaulting the senses in a fashion that would make Jigsaw proud.
 
Adding to the sonic assault to Saw V is Charlie Clouser (ex-Nine Inch Nails), no stranger to the Saw soundtracks, with his cuts “Trap Attacks” and “What It Takes,” as well as Filter’s remix version of “What’s Next.” Other killer songs include: Testament’s “True Believer,” Ministry’s “Death and Destruction (Remix),” Prong’s “The Banishment,” Die Krupps’ “The Dawning of Doom,” Skinny Puppy’s “ugLi” and The Revolting Cocks’ “Wizard of Sextown.”  
 
Artists’ Addiction Soundtracks’ Jonathan Platt says of the Saw V Soundtrack: “We feel that we have put together a collection of songs that really mirrors the chaos onscreen. All of our acts are big fans of the Saw series and were excited to be a part of the soundtrack and I think that energy really comes across.”

This Halloween belongs to Saw V!!

Hustler XXX #30 Hits Streets

(Beverly Hills, CA)  The long-anticipated release of Hustler’s Hardline XXX #30 is finally here! Directed by award-winning Otto Bauer, who is notorious for capturing intense hardcore action, XXX #30 offers fans every nasty trick in the book with an emphasis on filling every tight, wet hole!

“I made sure to cast the dirtiest and nastiest little sluts in town,” states Bauer. “Fans of hardcore will absolutely love watching these sex fiends in action.”

Audrey Hollander gives a standout threeway performance with Claudio Meloni and Jenner. Hollander cannot seem to get enough dick and invites both of the boys to completely fill all of her holes, ending in a triple anal assault. They willingly oblige to fulfilling her desires and use large toys as an added bonus.

Another extreme threeway takes place between Britney Stevens, Kissy Kapri and Alec Knight. Britney and Kissy dance and tease each other until Alec joins in on the fun. Britney takes it like a champ when Alec and Kissy give all of her orifices exxxtra-special attention.

XXX #30 features five scenes filled with DP, toys, double anal, double vag, ATM and threeways, with performances by Audrey Hollander, Britney Stevens, Kissy Kapri, Evie Delatosso, Bridgette B., Annette Schwarz and Nika Noir.

XXX #30 is in stores now!

HUSTLER Video Wraps Palin Parody

(Beverly Hills, CA)  The movie everyone’s been talking about…and you may be asking yourself, “Did Hustler Video really shoot a parody of Sarah Palin?” You betcha!

Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? wrapped production this past weekend! Why wait for the release of an actual Sarah Palin sex tape when Hustler has taken the time to make one for you?

Directed by Jerome Tanner, Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? will feature five hardcore scenes, including two threeways starring Lisa Ann, the supersexy MILF Sarah Palin look-alike.

“When asked to play the role of Serra Paylin in Hustler’s spoof, Who’s Nailin’ Paylin?, I was immediately onboard!” enthuses Lisa Ann. “I’ve never felt so ‘maverick’ in my life!!!”

Buy a subscription to www.Hustler.com and you can watch the first hardcore scene, debuting Wednesday, October 15, 2008. This scene will showcase Serra Paylin’s sexual skills as well as her true down-home hospitality when she gets visited by two stranded Russians who want nothing more than to accept her very warm welcome!

Motley Crue Returns Home To Sunset Blvd;

The Ultimate LA Band To Play The Legendary Hollywood Palladium, November 14th

Tickets On Sale Saturday, October 18th

Los Angeles (October 15, 2008) - Mötley Crüe returns to Sunset Blvd., the place where it all began 27 years ago, for a show at the newly renovated Hollywood Palladium on Friday, November 14. Tickets for the show go on sale Saturday, October 18 at 12 noon on www.livenation.com.  The band joins Jay-Z; Gym Class Heroes; The Roots; Jonas Brothers; Rise Against; Mudvayne; OneRepublic; Backstreet Boys and others still to be announced at the reopening of the legendary venue.

Mötley Crüe, the world’s most notorious rock band, thundered through amphitheaters on the summer season’s most successful rock festival, Crüe Fest and will bring all the grit and grime of their legendary rock shows indoors for the special one off performance. 

Saints of Los Angeles, the first new studio album recorded with all of the original band members in over a decade, tore onto the charts with a #4 debut on the Billboard 200 chart and the #1 independent release of the week.  Lyrically, the album follows the story of the band’s New York Times best-selling memoir The Dirt, a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the band’s exploits.  Lead single “Saints of Los Angeles,” a top ten Rock radio hit, was released simultaneously on the Rock Band video game and through traditional online outlets in an industry first, selling more than five times the number of downloads via the video game as it did on iTunes in its first week of release.

Since their debut album Too Fast For Love hit the streets in 1982, Mötley Crüe rose from Hollywood’s underground to become one of the most successful and influential bands in rock history.  Their second album, 1983’s Shout at the Devil, helped catapult the group to the top of the heap and 1985’s Theatre of Pain cemented Mötley Crüe’s position as one of the top rock and roll bands, hitting Top 10 and selling more than two million copies with the help of the hit power ballad “Home Sweet Home” and their version of “Smokin’ in the Boys’ Room.” In 1987 Mötley Crüe released Girls, Girls, Girls, hitting #2 on The Billboard Top 200, and in 1989 they released Dr. Feelgood which reached the #1 position and featured the hits “Kickstart My Heart,” Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)” and the title track “Dr. Feelgood,” selling over four million copies.  Mötley Crüe has gone on to sell over 80 million albums worldwide, 25 million in the U.S. alone, with six singles reaching the top 20 on the U.S. Billboard chart. 

An iconic concert hall for six decades, The Hollywood Palladium will reopen on October 15th.  The venue received a year-long, top-to-bottom renovation, bringing back the legendary building’s original grandeur while also adding state-of-the-art upgrades.

Hustler’s Asian Fever Goes to Japan

(Beverly Hills, CA)  Hustler Video takes a trip to Japan to film Hustler’s Asian Fever: Tokyo Girls!!! This video is filled with the freshest and hottest talent in Japan along with absolutely breathtaking locations. Hustler Video will take you on a journey through Tokyo’s most exciting districts, such as Roppongi, Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ginza.

“Asian Fever: Tokyo Girls is an incredibly anticipated release,” states Hustler Creative Director Drew Rosenfeld. “This film takes the viewer on a guided tour of Tokyo, showing off the sexiest Asian women and all the hot spots the city has to offer. True admirers of the Asian culture will be blown away by this DVD!”

Director Valentino acts as the travel guide throughout the video, taking the viewer on an excursion around various districts in Tokyo. With each visit comes a new sexual encounter, which is preceded by a description of the location.

Roppongi, a popular nightspot, is noted for having some of the most beautiful Asian women working as hostesses on the restaurant-lined streets. A gorgeous hostess is picked up on her way to work and taken back to an apartment for hot anal sex. Shibuya—the trendy, fashion district—boasts streets filled with sexy young girls walking around in their ultrachic attire. In Shinjuku, the older and more traditional district, Valentino talks two sexy chicks into having a delightful afternoon threesome. The last stop is Ginza, the most expensive shopping area of Tokyo, where we see views of the ImperialPalace. Here, two young, beautiful girls are whisked away for a smoldering-hot threeway.

Asian Fever: Tokyo Girls features five authentic scenes filled with threeways, anal and ATM, with performances by Japanese starlets Ibuki Haruhi, Haruka, Makoto Aoki, Riko Toyoda, Yuma Kaneshiro, Mao Sugisaki and Moe Asada.

DOUBLE DVD SET DOCUMENTS HISTORIC, STAR-STUDDED CELEBRATION OF ROADRUNNER's 25th ANNIVERSARY PARTY IN NEW YORK CITY IN DECEMBER 2005

New York, NY: What was Roadrunner Records supposed to do after the label corralled 56 musicians from 44 different bands spanning the label's entire 25-year history to release one groundbreaking album, called Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions?  Simple. Throw one helluva party!

The label did just that, holding a party complete with an all-star performance by artists once and currently signed to the label, as well as friends of the company.

Roadrunner is pleased to announce the release of Roadrunner United The Concert on December 9, 2008. The double-disc set hits shelves almost three years to the day after the now-legendary concert held at the Nokia Theater in Times Square in New York City on December 15, 2005. The concert enjoyed a cult, "You had to be there!" status in the metal and hard rock scenes and now Roadrunner is giving the label's diehard followers a chance to witness the event for themselves.

Roadrunner United The Concert captures the festive intensity of the evening. A house band, featuring members of core Roadrunner acts such as Slipknot, Sepultura and Machine Head, performed hits and classics culled from the entirety of the Roadrunner catalog. Some of the highlights included Slipknot/Stone Sour vocalist Corey Taylor performing "Bother" with Life of Agony's Keith Caputo; former Killswitch Engage singer Jesse Leach dueting with current vocalist Howard Jones for KsE's "My Last Serenade"; an assortment of frontmen handling vocals for staple songs like Slipknot's "(Sic)" and "Surfacing," Machine Head's "Davidian," King Diamond's "Abigail," Sepultura's "Refuse/Resist," Type O Negative's "Black No. 1," Soulfly's "Eye For an Eye" as well as four songs from the Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions album. The double disc set also includes a 75-minute documentary, complete with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, making it an even more intimate, fan-friendly experience!

The DVD is essential for those who've followed Roadrunner from its humble beginnings as a Dutch import label to the powerhouse, gold standard in hard rock and heavy metal that it has become.

SWEET RAISES FUNDS FOR SAN DIEGO FIRE VICTIMS

Sweet Continues 2008 North American Tour Playing Their Hits: Ballroom Blitz, Fox on The Run, Love Is Like Oxygen, Little Willy, Hellraiser, Teenage Rampage, Blockbuster & Action

LOS ANGELES, CA—October 7, 2008--Premier rock band Sweet led by bassist/vocalist Steve Priest will continue their “Are You Ready Steve?” North American tour with a performance in San Diego to help raise awareness and funds for Rancho Bernardo United Coalition (RBUC) and the benefit “Promoting Healing Through Music” on Friday, October 24th on the Green at Qualcomm Stadium. Sweet will be joined by Great White, Dokken and Asia to benefit the RBUC which is the home of the long term recovery center (LTRC) for Rancho Bernardo, and is one of six recovery teams whose mission is to provide and coordinate emotional, physical, financial and spiritual resources to help rebuild the homes and lives of families affected by the San Diego Wildfires of October 2007. Doors open at 5 p.m.  General seating is $50-$100, available through TicketMaster, www.ticketmaster.com, and at Albertsons in Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos and Escodidos. VIP tickets packages—first 10 rows with meet-and-greet opportunities with band members--are only available by contacting Love and Roll Productions at 858-395-3473, www.loveandrollproductions.com.

 In additional to drawing big crowds at shows during their 2008 tour, a new generation of fans of all ages are learning about Sweet through various outlets.  “Dancing With The Stars” is using “Ballroom Blitz” in its TV promos.  Sweet songs have been featured in numerous movies including: Kate Hudson’s “My Best Friends Girl” (Love Is Like Oxygen), Mike Meyer’s “Wayne’s World” (Blitz,) “Dazed and Confused” (Fox on the Run,) Adrian Grenier’s “Drive Me Crazy” (Little Willy,) Joan Collins’ “The Stud” (Oxygen,) “Curse of the Crimson Altar (Fox) and “Hot Fuzz” (Blitz).  Mitsubishi recently used Blitz for a car commercial and the many players of the mass appeal video game franchises “Guitar Hero” and “Rock Band” are becoming Sweet fans due their classic songs being featured in these games.

A sample of the reviews from Sweet’s ongoing tour include:

 “A blitz may be coming to your local ballroom.  Bassist Steve Priest, a founding member of Sweet, has reconstituted the glittery fuzz-rock band that ignited U.K. and U.S. charts with such ‘70s hits as Ballroom Blitz, Little Willy, Fox on the Run and Love is Like Oxygen. The Are You Ready Steve? Tour kicks off June 12 at The Whisky in Hollywood, with guitarist Stuart Smith, singer Joe Retta, drummer Richie Onori and keyboardist Stevie Stewart…Priest’s reconfiguration plans to revisit all the historic Sweet spots, including Blockbuster, Action, Hellraiser and Teenage Rampage.” --Edna Gundersen, USA Today, May 2, 2008

“Hayes, Middlesex wouldn’t be the first town to come to mind in generating musical/songwriting abilities shown by Steve Priest, founding member of the group Sweet.  But then neither does York standout as the birthplace for the enormously talented guitarist Stuart Smith.  Now, add a couple of Yanks with the energy and the professionalism of drummer Richie Onori and Stevie Stewart on keyboard/organ and get one of the best rock singers in the music scene, Joe Retta and the Sweet band is back in business.” --Leo and Karen Sidler, Union Jack, July 2008

“Sweet’s Saturday Night two show performance at Morongo Casino was stunning…Sweet still creates the same beamenergy and the crowd loved them.”—Andrew Yelich, DesertCities, September, 2008

“The party atmosphere is still alive and the band ‘absolutely’ rocks out.” --Stephanie Classen, The Star Phoenix (Saskatoon) July 4, 2008

“Brit band the Sweet has reformed for a North American tour; Sweet epitomized the 70s by fusing bubblegum melodies with crunchy guitars.  They looked like a heavy metal band…the contrast served them well, racking up an incredible number of hits …. The group began their tour at The Whisky a Go Go and MC was there to satisfy its sweet tooth.” --Music Connection, July 2008

More concert dates will be announced shortly.  Stay tuned to www.thesweetband.com and www.myspace.com/thesweetband.com for updates. Please check out the exciting new Sweet t-shirts, bling camisoles, caps and picks the band’s website.  For information on the San Diego charity visit Rancho Bernardo United Coalition at www.rbunited.com. 

HUSTLER Video Strikes Again With Palin Parody

(Beverly Hills, CA)  Once again when it comes to sex and politics, HUSTLER continues to be at the top of the game! Hustler Video could not resist the urge to spoof the MILF-tastic Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.  Let’s face it: Who wouldn’t want to see that sexy hockey mom taking it all off?!

Nailin’ Paylin, currently in pre-production, is being directed by Jerry T.  Sexy MILF Lisa Ann will be playing the role of Sara Paylin.  Nailin’ Paylin will feature five hard-core scenes, including a threeway with other parodied political figures, namely Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice.  Bill O’Reilly will also be spoofed as the announcer who dishes the sex scandals that will take place during the film. 

Nailin’ Paylin will take the viewer on a naughty adventure to the wild side of that sexy Alaska governor.  Sara Paylin will not only be showing us some girl-on-girl lovin’ but will also be nailing the Russians, who come knocking on her back-door (wink, wink) and in a flashback “young” Paylin’s creationist college professor will explain a “big bang” theory even she can’t deny!

Hustler Video is eager to fulfill those sexual fantasies of this now-famous MILF and is putting Nailin’ Paylin on a fast track to hit streets in time for the election!

Slayer's European "Unholy Alliance Tour"
Will Give Special Added Value To Fans
Every Concert Attendee to Receive Free Download Card for Special Material
From Entire Tour Line-Up

A brand-new Slayer album is expected in 2009, but some fans won't have to wait that long to get an early listen to some of the new music.

Fans who attend any of the upcoming European "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" dates (listed below), will receive the new Slayer song via an exclusive download card that will also include special material from the entire tour's line-up - Slayer, Mastodon, Trivium and Amon Amarth. The download card, along with a limited edition "Unholy Alliance Tour" clothing patch, will be given away free only to ticket holders when they arrive at their local venue the night of the show.

The new Slayer song is being recorded as you read this, as Slayer has just entered a Los Angeles-area studio to begin recording the new album. More info on the free song and new album will be announced shortly. In addition, Trivium's "Kirisute Gomen" from their upcoming album "Shogun" (released September 30), and "Guardians of Asgaard," a new gem from Amon Amarth's "Twilight of the Thunder God" (released September 30), will also be part of the download package. Mastodon opted to do something a little different for their contribution to the tour download - the band will take fans into the recording studio for a first-look and listen to the making of their upcoming album. Plus, a live-in-concert Slayer performance filmed at the band's 2007 San Diego Sports Arena show will be included in the "Unholy Alliance Tour" download package.

The European leg of the mighty "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" kicks off in Manchester, England on October 27 and will play more than two-dozen shows over a five week period. A North American leg is being planned for 2009.

"The Unholy Alliance Tour" first launched in Fall, 2004 with a European edition that featured Slipknot, Slayer, Mastodon and Hatebreed. The venture was so successful, the first North American trek, dubbed "The Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter II: Preaching to The Perverted," kicked off in Summer, 2006 with Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed stomping and screaming its way to 30 U.S. and Canadian cities. The European run of "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter II" took place in Fall, 2006, featuring Slayer, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, and Thing Eyes Bleed.

The iconic rock star will be celebrating the release of the new Gibson USA and Epiphone Slash Signature Les Paul model guitars.  

The new Epiphone Slash Signature Les Paul Goldtop is limited to just 2,000 guitars worldwide and are built using many of the same traditional guitar building processes and techniques that have made Gibson’s family of stringed instruments the absolute finest in the world. The Gibson USA Slash Signature Les Paul Goldtop gives guitar enthusiasts around the world the chance to own a guitar created and designed by Slash, the legend who single-handedly revitalized the electric guitar with some of the world’s most colossal riffs known to the mortal man. The Gibson USA model  is limited to only 1,000 guitars worldwide. No others  of either version will be produced once the limited edition quantity is sold out.

Both versions of the limited edition guitars will be available that day at Sam Ash Music locations across the country. Slash will sign autographs during his appearance at the Sam Ash Hollywood location.

No other guitars other than Slash Gibson or Epiphone models will be considered for this opportunity.

Slash has left a lasting imprint on the world that cannot be measured in a few short words. His trademark sound is as original as it is unmistakable. His music catalog spans several decades, a body of work that has given us some of rock’s greatest anthems. From television and radio to professional sporting events, his music continues to provide a soundtrack for life. Most recently, the legendary guitarist/songwriter can be seen featured in the latest installment of the wildly popular video game Guitar Hero for which he wrote and recorded the game’s theme song and his character’s guitar solo. His current band Velvet Revolver recently completed a tour of Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and the States in support of its second album, “Libertad”, which has spawned several chart topping singles.

ZOË VISION/ANTHEM ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE RUSH DVD
SNAKES & ARROWS LIVE ON NOVEMBER 25
MUSICIANSHIP  HIGHLIGHTED, EXTRAS ABUNDANT

"Thanks to epic songs, fantastical lyrics and extravagant drum solos, [Rush] rocks on
through the 21st century...the scope of [their] achievements is undeniable...”  Rolling Stone

September 22,  2008 - Burlington, MA - Zoë Vision/Anthem Entertainment is pleased to announce the release of the Snakes & Arrows Live DVD on November 25 from the legendary rock trio RUSH. This 3 disc DVD set, also available as a Blu-ray Disc, follows their Zoë Vision DVD releases Rush-R30 (2005) and Rush in Rio (2003).

The Snakes & Arrows Live  DVD (full track listing below) was filmed with 21 High Definition cameras in 16x9 widescreen format, over two nights in October 2007 at the Netherlands' Ahoy Rotterdam arena during the renowned rock trio's lengthy world tour. Additional SD footage was filmed in Atlanta this past July. The five month trek supporting Rush's critically acclaimed 2007 studio release, Snakes & Arrows, which includes the Grammy® Award-nominated track, “Malignant Narcissism,” topped Pollstar's Top 100 2007 Tours list at #12.

While previous DVD releases showcase different sides of the band , this DVD offers fans a rare and close up look at the prodigious musicianship for which the band is renown. Cameras follow bassist and vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart, closely, capturing not only their playing, note for note, but also the intimacy they share on stage. The diverse track list  includes many new songs from Snakes & Arrows as well as old favorites like “Tom Sawyer” and “Freewill” plus an explosive rendition of “Between the Wheels.” Among the hidden gems and numerous special tour moments included as extras is the fan coveted “What's That Smell” vignette and outakes, a skit used to intro the second set, which capitalizes on the still emerging comedic talents of both Alex and Geddy who excel (and revel) in their roles as wild characters. Featuring collector's quality packaging and a choice of Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound or PCM Stereo for a superior audio experience, the DVD was  mixed by frequent collaborator Richard Chycki (Aerosmith, Mick Jagger). Total running time is 221 minutes.

Snakes & Arrows made a triumphant debut on the Billboard 200 upon its release May 2007, entering the chart in the #3 spot.  The album's popular success marked Rush's highest chart debut since 1993, as well as the group's eleventh top ten album in the U.S.  Snakes & Arrows also debuted at #3 in the band's native Canada and at #13 in the UK - the band's highest British chart ranking in 16 years.  In addition, the album premiered in the top ten in Sweden and Finland, and in the top twenty in Norway, the Netherlands, and Japan.

Since releasing their self-titled debut album in 1974, Rush has been universally regarded as one of the most inventive and compelling groups in rock, famed for virtuoso musicianship. Celebrated, critically acclaimed and respected worldwide, Rush is the most successful Canadian rock band of all time and they remain one of the biggest grossing arena rock bands ever.  Their extraordinary body of work - which includes such acclaimed works as 1976's 2112, 1981's Moving Pictures, 1996's Test for Echo, and 2002's Vapor Trails - has achieved worldwide sales exceeding 35 million units.

MOTLEY CRUE TO RELEASE THEIR COMPLETE STUDIO CATALOGUE CONSISTING OF EIGHT ALBUMS

CD’s TO BE RELEASED ON MÖTLEY RECORDS/ELEVEN SEVEN MUSIC ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Mötley Crüe who recently released Saints of Los Angeles, their first studio album in over a decade (which debuted as the #1 Independent CD), and headlined their inaugural Crüe Fest tour this summer are set to re-issue their complete studio catalogue on September 30, 2008 on Mötley Records/Eleven Seven Music (RED Distribution). The catalogue includes their eight chart topping studio albums originally released between 1981 and 2000.

The complete studio catalogue contains the highly successful albums: Too Fast For Love (1981); Shout at the Devil (1983); Theatre of Pain (1985); Girls, Girls, Girls (1987); Dr. Feelgood (1989); Mötley Crüe (1994); Generation Swine (1997) and; New Tattoo (2000). The band has sold over 80 million albums, 25 million in the U.S. alone with six singles reaching the top 20 on the U.S. Billboard Chart.  

Also released on the same day will be 17 of the band’s classic music videos which will be available for download online via all digital music stores.

Over 27 years of trials and tribulations of the world’s most notorious hard rock band are clearly audible in their music, then and now. The amazing thing is, not that they lived to tell the tale (in a way, a miracle in itself), it’s that all of their wildly uncontrollable habits are intertwined with raw lyrics and grimy guitar rifts. Just listen to these albums and you can hear the sound of the coke coming off the tables, the squeak of the bed springs, and the sheer sleazy grind of California heavy metal that only the Crüe can deliver.  The band chronicled their antics in the New York Times bestseller, The Dirt on which Saints Of Los Angeles is loosely based.

Having survived nearly three decades of decadence and nearly every possible obstacle, including several brought on by themselves, Mötley Crüe now find themselves in a once inconceivable position—that of rock royalty.

The Mötley Crüe complete studio catalogue will be available wherever cds are sold.

THE REVOLTING COCKS' NEW ALBUM, "SEX-O OLYMPIC-O"
MOVED TO A FEBRUARY, 2009 RELEASE DATE
Founder Al Jourgensen Decides to Stay a Cock
RevCo TV Will Launch This Fall

LOS ANGELES, CA - August 18, 2008 -- Revolting Cocks (RevCo) founding member Alien Jourgensen is clearing up, once and for all, the rumors surrounding RevCo's future. "Much like Menudo does or the Blue Man Group, I was going to hand the band over to this younger generation of RevCo's, to Sin [Quirin/guitars], Josh [Bradford/vocals] and Clayton [Worbeck/keyboards], kind of franchise it out. I think that these three knuckleheads capture the true essence and spirit of being 'a Revolting Cock,' if you will. But, this album turned out so damned good, I think I'm going to stick around for a while.

"This is the best RevCo album I've ever done," Al continued. "As a matter of fact, I think this is the best album - including Ministry, Pailhead, Lard - anything I've ever done, period. Production-wise, song-wise, I'm really, really happy with this record. It's the first CD I've ever gotten back from the mastering studio that I didn't have anything to bitch about. No complaints. I listened to the whole thing and just went, 'OK, that's a wrap. Let's go'!"

Now that "Sex-O Olympic-O" is in the can, Jourgensen and his "knuckleheads" plan to begin tracking yet another RevCo release in September at Jourgensen's 13th Planet Studios in El Paso, TX. As he did with "Sex-O," Jourgensen will produce this next release as well as be involved in writing and playing on the album. RevCo will then initiate rehearsals for the upcoming RevCo World Tour, scheduled to begin in April 2009. While Jourgensen won't claim a bunk on RevCo's tour bus for the duration of the trek, he does plan to perform with the band on a few choice dates.

States Bradford, "The challenge will be coming up with a name for the RevCo tour, since Al already took all of the RevCo-appropriate tour names such as CliTour, Sphinctour, FornicaTour, and MasterBaTouR for Ministry. We'll probably have a contest on the RevCo MySpace site and ask the fans."

In addition to working with Jourgensen in the studio on his sophomore release with the RevCo project, Bradford is busy producing RevCo TV, a direct-to-internet, weekly YouTube TV broadcast to be implemented in the Fall. RevCo TV will feature new RevCo trax, in-studio footage and will parlay all the RevCo antics as the band records and prepares for its World Tour.

"Sex-O Olympic-O" retains the unmistakable RevCo industrial-dance-metal sound, and sees Quirin, Bradford and Worbeck let first-wave glam rock seep into their already rich sound. Case in point, the soon-to-be quirky anthem (and first single from the album), "I'm Not Gay," which debuted on Ministry's 2008 C U LaTouR" live shows and is now a solid staple on MySpace and Facebook homepages around the world.

Tracks such as "Hookerbot 3000" and "The Red Parrot" show evidence that RevCo's affection for frequenting strip clubs has certainly rubbed off on them musically, as many of the songs sound like a custom-made soundtrack for strippers worldwide to strut their stuff to. But if you dig deep into the lyrics, you'll be afforded a direct look into the warped and twisted mind of Bradford. "Josh recorded a lot of these vocals in his apartment, really thin walls with no soundproofing," points out Worbeck. "He was tracking in the middle of the night with headphones on, yelling at the top of his lungs these bizarre phrases that are in the song. If you think about it, his neighbors weren't hearing music, all they were hearing was him yelling these strange lyrics. His neighbors must think he's insane."

NIGHTWISH TO TOUR THE U.S. THIS FALL FOR THIRD AND FINAL TREK IN SUPPORT OF "DARK PASSION PLAY" 

TO RELEASE THE SOUND OF NIGHTWISH REBORN, DIGITAL ONLY COLLECTION FEATURING  "DARK PASSION PLAY" DEMOS AND B-SIDES

 New York, NY: Finland's Nightwish will once again tour U.S. soil, hitting all major markets and cities along the way. The band will bring its massively popular yet refreshingly unique blend of progressive Euro metal, fueled by the siren-like vocals of Anette Olzon, to North American shores for the third and final trek in support of last year's Dark Passion Play, which has sold nearly 75,000 copies since its September 2007 release.

Coinciding with the tour, the band will also release a digital-only collection of demos and B-sides titled The Sound of Nightwish Reborn, available through all digital service providers, on September 2. This release, which clocks in at nearly 70 minutes of music, retains "must have" status for all Nightwish diehards, since it includes a bevy of exclusive material, such as demo versions of songs from the Dark Passion Play sessions that were recorded prior to Olzon joining the band and that feature Marco Tapani Hietala handling the vocals, as well as B-sides.

The track listing for The Sound of Nightwish Reborn is as follows. Songs marked with a (*) indicate pre-Olzon demo versions.  

"Eva" (Demo version) - Demo session, pre-album*

"Reach" ("Amaranth" Demo) - Demo session, pre-album*

"While Your Lips Are Still Red" - B-side, pre-album

Nightwish are an international metal sensation, holding four times Platinum certification in their native Finland and a Gold certification in Germany. The band's female-fronted, epic yet goth metal forces people to stand up and take notice. The band has impressively moved 75,000 units of Dark Passion Play on the back of 11 sold-out U.S. shows, proving that Nightwish are the type of band that inspire fierce and dedicated loyalty. Prior to that, the band released Once in 2004 and enjoyed their first American tour, which was completely sold out.  

CRADLE OF FILTH ANNOUNCE GODSPEED ON THE DEVIL'S THUNDER AS NEW ALBUM TITLE

DUE IN STORES OCTOBER 28

 New York, NY: Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who's the blackest of them all? Why, Cradle of Filth, of course. England's most notorious and nefarious metal band are gearing up to release their darkest, most dastardly album of all, titled Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, for Roadrunner Records on October 28. The album, which will have a special edition with an extra disc and bonus material, arrives just in time for Halloween, a holiday that fits Cradle of Filth's blackened, ghostly aesthetic. 

The album is conceptual and is based on the well-documented, true-life fall from grace of a shadowy historical figure named Gilles de Rais, a wealthy French nobleman who was one of Joan of Arc's brothers-in-arms. He was best known, however, as a prolific serial killer who mixed prayers with his nightly murders as well as an aspiring alchemist. He was accused of a panoply of crimes, among them heresy, demonology and kidnapping. There's even an extreme fringe sect of historians who question de Rais' true status, with some convinced he was framed. 

Regardless of viewpoint, leave it to Cradle of Filth to dissect de Rais' biography, exploring subversive, inflammatory historical subject matter in its lyrics, taking an unjaundiced look at a controversial figure in European history, set to epic black metal music. The band profiled Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory, who attempted to preserve her youth by bathing in the blood of virgins, in the past and now moves forward by framing their latest album around the story of de Rais.

Cradle of Filth's vocalist Dani Filth elaborated on the album's concept, saying, "By far this is our most extreme, dramatic and deeply disturbing album to date. The legend of Gilles de Rais has been given fresh, vampyrical life in this conceptual meisterwerk, swathed in pitch-black magic and a viciousness unsurpassed in the annals of Cradle history. Screw what our detractors say, everyone who has heard this album has bruised their jaws on the pentagram-bejewelled floor."

The tracklisting for Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder is as follows:

"In Grandeur And Frankincense Devilment Stirs"
"Shat Out Of Hell"
"The Death Of Love"
"The 13th Caesar"
"Tiffauges"
"Tragic Kingdom"
"Sweetest Maleficia"
"Honey And Sulphur"
"Midnight Shadows Crawl To Darken Counsel With Life"
"Darkness Incarnate"
"Ten Leagues Beneath Contempt"
"Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder"
"Corpseflower"

Cradle of Filth follows up 2006's Thornography with a bigger, faster and louder conceptual new album. The band retains their hard-earned reputation as the best of the blackest with Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder.

MÖTLEY CRÜE'S SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES THIS WEEK'S HIGHEST DEBUT ON THE BILLBOARD CHART IN TOP FIVE

ALBUM IS BASED ON THEIR NY TIMES BEST-SELLING BOOK THE DIRT

BAND HEADLINES 1st ANNUAL CRÜE FEST TOUR KICKING OFF JULY 1ST

Top Five Debut, Top Ten Single and Top Rock Festival Tour Highlight Band’s Activities

New York, NY – With an impressive first week, legendary rock band Mötley Crüe earned themselves an impressive top 5 debut their highest since 1997’s Generation Swine on the Billboard chart with Saints Of Los Angeles, their first new album featuring the original lineup in over a decade. The album, inspired by their NY Times best-selling book The Dirt is an example of how forward thinking, integrated marketing and an acclaimed CD can support sales in a lagging music industry.  The single, “Saints of Los Angeles,” which remains a top ten rock track was released simultaneously via the video game Rock Band (a Crüe Fest partner) and to traditional retailers and sold over five times the number of downloads on Rock Band as it did on iTunes in its first week.  The band has also pioneered digital initiatives including online pre-sales (they were one of the first bands to sell tickets online); simulcasting their press conference on therockvine.com and offering fans exclusive content on their website, motley.com for years.   Plans include continued digital initiatives and special ring tone availability.  Saints of Los Angeles features Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil and is their ninth studio album in a 27 year career which has seen the most notorious band in rock & roll sell over 80 million albums worldwide so far.

The oft-imitated rockers were also very visible in the past week appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, on a classic episode of Larry King Live (Larry plays with the band), On The Record with Greta Van Susteren, and in a special tribute celebrating their career in the June 21st issue of Billboard magazine.  In pure Mötley form, the band arrived at David Letterman’s show in a Presidential Procession as a troop of bikers led their 1960’s Cadillac convertible complete with skull and cross-bones flags waving through the streets of New York City to celebrate the release of the new CD.

With a full dose of hammering sleaze-rock, Saints could be ripped straight off the Dr. Feelgood prescription pad” – USA Today

Allen Kovac, CEO and Founder of Eleven Seven Music says, “With Buckcherry, Mötley Crüe and Sixx:A.M. we are seeing a seismic shift from hip-hop, pop and emo to rock.  There is no one more worthy of leading its return than an iconic band like Mötley Crüe.”  Eleven Seven Music is one of North America’s fastest growing labels.

Listeners were also offered a “sneak peek” through Clear Channel radio where they made the preview of the new CD on the websites of the national radio conglomerate’s many stations the second most popular in the history of the program. "We were thrilled to partner with Mötley Crüe to offer our listeners a chance to hear their new music on our sites before it was available anywhere else. The partnership will live on as Crüe Fest winds its way across America and our stations tie in great local promotions to this online initiative."  said Paul Miraldi, SVP Programming & Marketing, Clear Channel Online Music & Radio.

The Crüe is back… and they’re grimier than ever.” – Rolling Stone

The trip down memory lane helps the Crüe connect to their old sound: Much of Saints [of Los Angeles] rocks with the same raucous fun as their Eighties albums, delivering glam guitars and arena-size choruses on cuts like the wickedly catchy "Down at the Whisky." – Rolling Stone

Saints of Los Angeles is loosely based on the band’s bestselling TheDirt which is a must-read rock and roll tome of which Ray Hogan, San Antonio Express-News said, “The Dirt” might be the wildest rock ’n’ roll story ever told. It’s not only remarkable that the group’s four members are alive to recount -and actually remember- their sordid history, but disturbingly appropriate that they do so unrelentingly...For a band that wore their vices like a badge of honor, there’s still enough uncovered dirt to make this hard to put down.”  The CD takes these tales and puts them to classic Mötley music.  The book is also scheduled to become a much-anticipated movie but has been held up in the process. 

Nikki Sixx recently told Reuters, “We’re trying to get them (MTV Films and Paramount) out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago. They are not the right partner.”  “Isn’t it a shame that the soundtrack and book are at the top the charts and even when a guy like David Fincher wants to make the film, they still can’t figure out how to make it happen?  There’s been a revolving door of executives hired and fired.  The fans want the film.  Van Toffler should worry less about his manicures and facials and more about artists and directors.  For the benefit of the creative community, MTV Films should be dismantled.  All of the fans who keep asking for the film should email Sumner Redstone and let him know how to get this movie made while we have the soundtrack to the book all over the streets, airwaves and charts -- it’s just stupid,” comments Sixx.

The CD is released on Mötley Records/Eleven Seven Music, returning control to the band who also received the rights to all of their master recordings.

The band’s signature blues/punk/glam blend remains intact, but the act sounds hungrier than it has since 1989’s ‘Dr. Feelgood.’” – Billboard

The inaugural season of the Crüe Fest tour began July 1st in West Palm Beach, FL, and features Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M., and Trapt. Tickets, band profiles and exclusive content from all of the Crüe Fest bands will consistently be uploaded at www.therockvine.com.  In conjunction with the tour, Best Buy is exclusively selling a Crüe Fest Compilation featuring all five tour headliners as well as The Exies, Marion Raven, Drowning Pool and Chosen Son.  The set was almost sold out of its limited pressing before the tour even began.

AMON AMARTH ADDED TO "UNHOLY ALLIANCE TOUR,
CHAPTER III" UK/EURO TREK

Los Angeles, CA - July 2, 2008 -- Renowed Swedish death metal band AMON AMARTH has been added to the "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" lineup, which features Slayer, Trivium, and Mastodon.

Since 1992, Amon Amarth - Johan Hegg/vocals, Olavi Mikkonen/guitar, Johan Soderberg/guitar, Ted Lundstrom/bass, and Fredrik Andersson/drums - has managed to establish themselves as one of Europe's top death metal acts. What has set the band apart from the rest of the scene is their use of Viking mythology and imagery in their lyrics and artwork, as well as their talent for writing epic, memorable melodies, which underline their solemn yet barbaric approach to heavy music. The band's seventh studio album, as yet untitled, is due out this Fall on Metal Blade Records.

The UK/Euro run kicks off in Manchester, England on October 27 and will play nearly two dozen shows over a four-week period. This is the third installment of what has been hailed as "the heaviest, darkest tour of the year." With more dates to be announced, the initial itinerary for the European "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" is below:

OCTOBER
27 Manchester Arena, Manchester, England
28 NEC, Birmingham, England
30 Hammersmith Apollo, London, England

MÖTLEY CRÜE RELEASE NEW ALBUM SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES JUNE 24TH

WITH SONGS INSPIRED BY THEIR NY TIMES BEST-SELLING MEMOIR THE DIRT, NEW ALBUM IS FIRST IN A DECADE TO FEATURE ALL THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS

Los Angeles, CA – Rock is back on June 24th when Mötley Crüe, the world's most notorious rock band, will release their first new studio album featuring all of the original members in over a decade; titled Saints of Los Angeles, (with a gritty Top 10 first single of the same name) the album is comprised of songs lyrically inspired by the band's jaw-dropping accounts of decadence chronicled in their NY Times best-selling memoir The Dirt. Of the new material, Rolling Stone says, The Crüe is back, and they’re grimier than ever.” Following the original release of The Dirt in 2001, the NY Times said of the book: Open it anywhere and find a story to remember,while Details said, makes Pamela Des Barres Im With The Band look like a nun's diary by comparison.”

In support of their new album, Mötley Crüe will make a bevy of media appearances, including Larry King Live (June 20th), The Late Show With David Letterman (June 24th), and Access Hollywood to name a few. Clear Channel will even offer fans a sneak peek of the new record over 171 stations on the day of release.

The band has also created Crüe Fest, a touring rock festival embracing the lifestyle of rock that brings headlining bands together, giving fans a five-for-the-price of-one value in this atmosphere where rock rules once again. Produced by Live Nation, the inaugural year of the tour features Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M., and Trapt and kicks off July 1st in West Palm Beach, Florida, working its way across North America for over 40 dates throughout July and August. Tickets, band profiles and exclusive content from all of the Crüe Fest bands will consistently be uploaded at www.therockvine.com.

In April, Mötley Crüe debuted their single “Saints of Los Angeles” with a live performance at their Los Angeles press conference announcing Crüe Fest. The ubiquitous presence and popularity of music-based video games has influenced a resurgence of rock that has not only rejuvenated the average rock fan, but also served to create and educate a new generation of rock lovers. Mötley Crüe teamed up with MTV’s Rock Band (who is also a partner of the Crüe Fest tour) to debut a download of the single for use on the game simultaneous with its iTunes debut. If one had doubts of the role of these games in bringing rock back, the sales numbers of the single on Rock Band would lay them to rest: Rock Band downloads were a staggering five times that of those sold on iTunes.

THE REVOLTING COCKS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, "SEX-O OLYMPIC-O"

Los Angeles, CA - June 23, 2008 -- To some, The Revolting Cocks (aka RevCo) is the bastard offspring of Ministry-madman Al Jourgensen and it seems that "Uncle Al" is a damn proud papa these days.

"This is the best RevCo album I've ever done," said Al, who produced the album. "As a matter of fact, I think this is the best album - including Ministry, Pailhead, Lard - anything I've ever done, period. Production-wise, song-wise, I'm really, really happy with this record. It's the first CD I've ever gotten back from the mastering studio that I didn't have anything to bitch about. No complaints. I listened to the whole thing and just went, 'OK - that's a wrap. Let's go'!"

While still retaining the unmistakable RevCo industrial-dance-metal sound, "Sex-O Olympic-O" sees the group (Josh Bradford/vocals, Sin Quirin/guitars, Clayton Worbeck/keyboards) let first-wave glam rock seep into their already rich sound. Case in point, the soon-to-be quirky anthem (and first single from the album), "I'm Not Gay," which debuted on Ministry's 2008 "C U LaTouR" live shows and is now a solid staple on MySpace and Facebook homepages around the world.

Set for release October 14, 2008 via Jourgensen's label 13th Planet Records, it turns out that "Sex-O Olympic-O" was supposed to be RevCo's swansong. However, according to singer Bradford, it was the quality of the material that made Jourgensen alter his plan slightly. "Originally, it was going to be the final RevCo album, Al was ready to put Ministry and RevCo to rest. Al and Sin had a couple of ideas, he gave them to me and we threw them together. Al was like, 'Fuck! We're not going to have this be the last album.' He made a decision after hearing the first few tracks to keep it going, because it was going to be one of the best RevCo albums to come out. We were in El Paso - we set up a couple of little studios. We sat down - me, Al and Sin, and then Clayton later joined us - we just started trading tracks. It just magically came together. Most of the time, we all tracked individually, which is very strange for an album when you do that to come out so cohesive. The only time we hung out was when we went to strip clubs or got wasted."

As evidenced by such tracks as "Hookerbot 3000" and "The Red Parrot," RevCo's affection for frequenting strip clubs has certainly rubbed off on them musically, as many of the songs sound like a custom-made soundtrack for strippers worldwide to strut their stuff to. But if you dig deep into the lyrics, you'll be afforded a direct look into the warped and twisted mind of Bradford. "Josh recorded a lot of these vocals in his apartment - really thin walls with no soundproofing," points out Worbeck. "He was tracking in the middle of the night with headphones on, yelling these bizarre phrases that are in the song at the top of his lungs. If you think about it, his neighbors weren't hearing music, all they were hearing was him yelling these strange lyrics. His neighbors must think he's insane."

The last word goes to Jourgensen, who offers to clear up once and for all the rumors surrounding RevCo's future. "I am leaving after this album, and I'm turning it over to a younger generation of RevCo's - much like Menudo does or Blue Man Group. I'm kind of franchising it out. It started in 1983 - with me, Luc Van Acker and Richard 23 from Front 242. There were three of us, and now, I've found these other three young knuckleheads who I think capture the true essence and spirit of being 'a Revolting Cock,' if you will. Picture me, Luc and Richard as when you walk into a bank and you have the portraits of the founders. And we've turned it over to these three guys - under the one condition that in five years, they have to turn it over to three other new guys. They have to find the right people to carry on the tradition - which is a lot of keg parties, beer chugging, throwing up, sexual abnormalities." As evidenced by the strength of "Sex-O Olympic-O," Josh, Sin and Clayton will undoubtedly do the RevCo name proud for the next five years.

RevCo plans to support "Sex-O Olympic-O" with lots of touring starting this fall. More details TBA.

"UNHOLY ALLIANCE TOUR, CHAPTER III"
LAUNCHES ITS FIRST 2008 ASSAULT WITH EUROPEAN DATES
Bill Features Slayer, Trivium, and Mastodon

Los Angeles, CA - June 11, 2008 -- The European leg of the mighty "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" has been confirmed to kick off in Manchester, England on October 27 and will play nearly two dozen shows over a four-week period (initial itinerary below). This third installment of what has been hailed as "the heaviest, darkest tour of the year," the "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" will feature Slayer, the undisputed kings of extreme speed/thrash metal, and two true princes of the genre, Trivium and Mastodon. An opening act will be announced shortly. While Slayer will close all of the shows, they will be co-billed with Trivium on the UK dates.

Matthew Heafy, Trivium's frontman commented "Trivium is honored that Slayer has invited us to tour with them on the 'Unholy Alliance Tour.' All of us in Trivium are diehard Slayer fans and we look up to them for their music and longevity. They are one of the true pillars of heavy metal and for us to share stages with them is both an honor and a privilege. We've also known the Mastodon guys for a few years and we're definitely looking forward to hanging with them as well." Guitarist Corey Beaulieu continues, "I can't wait to get out on tour with Slayer so we can watch them crush every night and then have the opportunity to share many drinks with them and Mastodon after the shows! I better get my liver in shape. it's going to be awesome!"

The Unholy Alliance tour first launched in Fall, 2004 with a European edition that featured Slipknot, Slayer, Mastodon and Hatebreed. The venture was so successful, the first North American trek, dubbed "The Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter II: Preaching to The Perverted," kicked off in Summer, 2006 with Slayer, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed stomping and screaming its way to 30 U.S. and Canadian cities. The European run of "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter II" took place in Fall, 2006, featuring Slayer, In Flames, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, and Thing Eyes Bleed.

As the UK's heavy metal bible, Kerrang! once said about The Unholy Alliance Tour, "It's so metal, it HURTS!"

SLAYER
A journalist once wrote of Slayer, "If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he undoubtedly would be listening to Slayer." Indeed, in the beginning, when there were no blueprints, no set paths, no boundaries or steps to follow, SLAYER assaulted the world with its new hybrid of metal and punk. Heavier, faster and darker than the rest, Slayer set the new standard which all others continue to follow. Slayer is the band that all other heavy acts are measured against, defining not only a genre but an attitude. For more than two-and-a-half decades, Slayer's onslaught of sheer brutality has proven them to be the supreme thrash-metal band on the planet. Entire countries have banned their music, NARAS has graced them with two Grammy Awards. Slayer is currently writing material for a new album, release date TBD.

TRIVIUM
Orlando, FL heavy metallers TRIVIUM are delighted to be co-headlining with SLAYER on the UK leg of this year's colossal UNHOLY ALLIANCE tour. Having performed over 600 shows in the last 36 months alone, Trivium are no strangers to the stage and life on the road. Last year, the worldwide million-selling band toured extensively with Machine Head, co-headlining the impressive Black Crusade tour, as well as finding time to play shows with the legendary Iron Maiden amongst others. Since then, they have been hard at work on their next studio album for Roadrunner Records, due for release on September 29, 2008.

MASTODON
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Mastodon have been critically acclaimed by almost every publication in the US and Europe. Their Grammy nominated album, Blood Mountain, the group's third release, isn't just unconventional, it's surreal, progressive and unrepentantly heavy. Mastodon combined their favorite musical styles, including thrash, doom, prog and psychedelic metal to concoct something utterly original, undeniably devastating and irrefutably entrancing. They are currently in the studio with producer Brendan O'Brien recording their follow up to "Blood Mountain."

With more dates to be announced, the initial itinerary for the European "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" is below:

SCARS ON BROADWAY TO RELEASE
SELF-TITLED DEBUT ON JULY 29

Los Angeles, CA - May 28, 2008 -- Scars on Broadway, the long-awaited collaboration between guitarist-frontman Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan, both best known for their work in the multi-Platinum-selling, Grammy-winning band System of a Down, has signed with Interscope Records and will see their self-titled debut released on July 29.

With Malakian sitting in the Scars' producer chair, he and Dolmayan entered the studio last September, recorded nearly two-dozen songs for the album, and then whittled down the final track listing to 14 songs.

Many of the Scars on Broadway songs had their genesis years ago. "I like to let my songs marinate over time, that helps determine which ones speak to me the loudest," explained Malakian. Malakian, who penned or co-penned SOAD classics such as "Aerials," "Chop Suey!," "Hypnotize," and "B.Y.O.B.", wrote the Scars songs mostly on keyboards and a drum machine. On the new scars material Malakian injects more rock than metal, citing influences from Iggy Pop to David Bowie to Neil Young.

Different from the chaotic/alt/metal sound of SOAD, the Scars tracks are more song-based and showcase Malakian's varied writing style, from the simmering rock sound of "World Long Gone" to the melodic yet desolate "Universe." On the politically-tinged "3005," Malakian proves he is still as provocative as ever with the lyric, "Let's clap our hands for the president and Jesus Christ/And don't forget Charles Manson..." And "They Say," the first track leaked to the public, is heavy, but in more of a 1970s punk fashion. Some of the other confirmed tracks include "Enemy," ""Stoner Hate," "Babylon," and "Cute Machines."

Scars on Broadway has already played a handful of live shows, including Coachella 2008, where the Los Angeles Times singled them out as "one of the festival's hottest highlights." They also opened for Metallica at an L.A. benefit gig - SPIN said that their set "made it clear how little System's hiatus has dulled each man's hyperactive creativity." Scars plans to tour extensively to support the new album.

Guitarist Michelle Meldrum of metal band Meldrum passes away

Hollywood (May 21, 2008) - On May 18, Michelle Meldrum, leader of the band Meldrum and former Phantom Blue guitarist, was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank in critical condition. She passed away late afternoon Wednesday, May 21, 2008 as a result of a cystic growth on her brain that had restricted oxygen and blood flow to her brain rendering her brain dead.   

Meldrum had just completed writing and recording the bands soon to be released album with drummer Gene Hoglan, along with the new lineup Michele Madden (vocals) and Laura Christine (bass). The surviving band members plan to release the album later this year in tribute to their fallen band-mate.

Those who knew Michelle recognize that she lived every moment for the music, and was regarded as both an exceptional guitarist and a nurturer by her associates, friends, family and son.

Meldrum, 39 is survived by her parents and three year old son, Jake Thomas. Her family and band members appreciate all the support that has been shown over the past few days through this trying time. A memorial tribute benefit will be announced in the following weeks.

Michelle Meldrum was born on Sept 28, 1968 in Detroit, Michigan to a family of musicians and actors. At 13, Meldrum moved to Los Angeles, California and started her career in music by forming the thrash metal band WARGOD with drummer Gene Hoglan (DARK ANGEL, DEATH, and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD). When WARGOD disbanded Meldrum continued her search for a band and become both co-founder and lead guitarist in all girl metal/rock band PHANTOM BLUE. PHANTOM BLUE released their self-titled debut album on Shrapnel Records as well as Roadrunner Records, and eventually landed a deal with major label Geffen.

Once PHANTOM BLUE disbanded after a successful run at fame, Michelle Meldrum moved to Sweden and formed her current band MELDRUM. After many triumphant tours with such acts as MOTÖRHEAD and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, she reunited with Hoglan in 2006. Hoglan had appeared as a special guest on the MELDRUM album prior and played several events. Inspired to once again collaborate, Meldrum moved back to America where she and Hoglan began writing the aforementioned third MELDRUM album together.

CRÜE FEST ANNOUNCEMENT INSPIRES BAND TO RECORD NEW SONG AND MOVE ANTICIPATED CD “SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES” TO JUNE 24TH

CRÜE FEST, THE SUMMER’S LOUDEST SHOW ON EARTH, KICKS OFF JULY 1ST

Los Angeles, CA (May 12, 2008) – Inspired by the energy and experience of their performance with their Crüe Fest cohorts Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt at the press conference to announce the upcoming mega-tour, Mötley Crüe extended the production for their upcoming CD, returning to the studio this week to record one more track for the highly-anticipated album Saints of Los Angeles.  The first new studio album recorded with all of the original band members in over a decade, Saints of Los Angeles will now be released on June 24th.  Lyrically, the new album follows the story of the band’s NY Times best-selling memoir The Dirt, a no-holds-barred tell-all that features every gritty detail of the group’s exploits as one of the world’s biggest rock bands.

Since its release, “Saints Of Los Angeles” has been one of the fastest growing songs at Rock Radio since it was serviced and is already #7 on the Media Base Mainstream Rock Chart. 

Says Sixx, “Before our performance at the press conference, we were firing on all cylinders at sound check just jamming out, and that’s when the new idea came. We quickly laid it down and went to the studio to record it, and liked it so much we pushed back the release one week so that we could get it onto the album – it now has 13 tracks. It’s the ultimate song to end the record with and begin the new chapter of our career.”

Produced by Live Nation, Crüe Fest is a touring rock festival embracing the lifestyle of rock. With the stellar lineup of Mötley Crüe, Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt, Crüe Fest ‘08” will undoubtedly be the summer’s loudest show on earth.  The trek kicks off July 1st in West Palm Beach, Florida and works its way across North America for over 40 dates throughout July and August.  Tickets, band profiles and exclusive content from all of the Crüe Fest bands will consistently be uploaded at www.therockvine.com.
