"The Dark Crusade" is the next classic heavy metal release, that was mixed & mastered by the grammy nominated guitarist Andy La Rocque (known from cooperation with bands such as King Diamond, Hammerfall or Falconer), and produced by Bart Gabriel (editor in chief of the biggest polish rock/metal magazine Hard Rocker, who also produced releases of bands such as Crystal Viper, Sabbat or Kat).

Winterwolf - Sign To Xtreem Music

Xtreem Music is more than proud to announce the signing of one of the most well hidden treasures in the finnish Death Metal scene. This band is no other than Winterwolf, whose one of their interesting point is the feature on their ranks of Demilich's mastermind Antti Boman on both guitar/vocals.

Winterwolf started back in 1997 and was active until 2001 when the band changed its name into Deathchain after recording 2 demos. However, in 2006, original band members decided to bring back to life Winterwolf and during 2009 the band decided to record their debut full length album "Cycle of the Werewolf" which came to the ears of Xtreem Music, during its recording process, who immediately offered the band a deal for its release.

"Cycles of the Werewolf", by band's decision, will be initially release on 12"LP vinyl format on a limited edition of 500 copies in early October 2009 and will be followed by CD version some months after, maybe December 2009 or maybe January 2010.

This album is an absolutely masterpiece of pure scandivanian Death Metal, strongly rooted in the early swedish scene of bands like Entombed, Carnage and Dismember although with a different feel by the addition of influences from bands like Bolt Thrower, Demilich, Obituary, Celtic Frost... which surely adds a killer feel to this album that will for sure crush all these "we-are-true-old-school-boys" which constantly fail in their imitations of the true sound and feeling of the early scandinavian Death Metal. Winterwolf will blow your ears with perhaps the most fresh, heavy, intense and "perfect" album since Entombed's "Left Hand Path".

You can listen to three tracks from Winterwolf's imminent debut album on the band's official MySpace.

Wolf - New Song Online

Century Media press release:

Sweden's masters of kick-ass heavy metal Wolf are about to return in full metallic glory with their brand-new album "Ravenous" cover artwork]. As a first glimpse at what to expect of the highly anticipated new effort the song "Curse You Salem" has now been posted at MySpace, bang your head on this one!

The band reveals more about the track: "'Curse You Salem' is a genuine Wolf song. We think it's got all the elements our listeners demand from us and we're certain our fans will listen to it and go "Hell yes, that's Wolf"! We felt that while writing it, and bringing it to life while recording it was a blast. It will most certainly be included in our live-set. The song deals with the witch hunts that took place in Salem, Massachusetts somewhat 300 years ago and the lyrics are written according to actual events as well as real people connected to the events that took place. This song & topic fits Wolf like a spiked wristband on Kerry King!"

"Ravenous" also features a smashing guitar solo by Hank Shermann (Force Of Evil, Mercyful Fate) and guest vocals by Marc Boals (ex-Malmsteen). For the fierce and bloody artwork, the band once again decided to work with their long time cover artist Thomas Holm (Mercyful Fate), the band states: "He has the ability to "paint our music" and that's something we're not gonna pass up on".

Topped off by the phenomenal production by Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson, Judas Priest) "Ravenous" promises a heavy metal delicacy par excellence!

Powerwolf - New Album In The Making

Powerwolf have issued the following upadate:

"After having crowned the touring for "Lupus Dei" with the celebration at Wacken Open Air, we have now started pre-producing the follow up album to "Lupus Dei". We´re currently sweating blood and incense creating new anthems, and can hardly hide our enthusiasm about the stuff we have written yet. Expect a goddamn mighty 3rd strike, that will be heaven in hell for all you wolfmaniacs!

We will be busy with further songwriting and the pre-production during the next two months, and by mid of November the wolves will invade the studio. As we decided not to change a winning team, we will once again team up with the incredible Mr. Fredrik Nordström as the man behind the mixing desk.

We'll keep you posted about the progress on the metal mass we are creating here from time to time - so keep an eye on the wicked!"
