Arsis - Working On New Album, Demo Song Online
US melodic tech death metallers Arsis are currently in the studio working on the follow-up to 2010's Starve For The Devil. A demo version of a new track, entitled "Since The Shadows", is available for streaming on the band's Facebook.
The band comments: "We are indeed writing a new Arsis album and we want to offer everybody a glimpse into the music that we've been building for the last few months. This is a demo of a new one called "Since The Shadows" and it's from the first batch of songs for the album. It's still early but a musical direction has emerged from the work so far and we think it speaks for itself without any grand pronouncements, so enjoy it and we will see you on the Firewind tour this fall!"

Shining - To Release First-Ever Single
With the long-awaited seventh full-length album out this month on Spinefarm Records, extreme metallers Shining are set to release a CD single which will only be available in their home country of Sweden. The single will comprise two tracks, one being "Förtvivlan, Min Arvedel", taken from the new album VII - Född Förlorare, whilst the second will be a previously unreleased cover of the Alice Cooper song "Prince of Darkness".
This will be the first time that Shining has released a single, and founder and frontman Niklas Kvarforth is hopeful that the new video, which was filmed recently and is currently being edited, will be included along with the two tracks: "We are trying to get the video included, but the people behind the single are a little nervous, and probably quite rightly so given its subject matter and content. We are looking into the possibility of maybe including a censored version. We'll see how that pans out, but whatever happens, the uncensored version will definitely appear very soon, so Shining fans who have been waiting for it, will not be disappointed".
Following the Swedish release, the band will consider the possibility of releasing a different version of the single elsewhere.
VII - Född Förlorare will be released on May 25th through Spinefarm Records. More album details were previously reported over here.

Lock Up - Jeff Walker And Peter Tägtgren To Guest On New Album
Necropolis Transparent, the new upcoming album of UK grinders Lock Up, will feature guest appearances from Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and Jeff Walker (Carcass, Brujeria). Necropolis Transparent will be released in Europe on July 1st and in North America on July 12th through Nuclear Blast Records.
Comments bassist Shane Embury: "I always wanted Peter on the third album since he was on the first record we did. It made sense from a weird trilogy aspect to get him on the record. His tones compliment Tomas perfectly as well. I would have loved to have had Peter sing on more of the songs, but time was short as Peter was heavily involved with his new Pain record. The songs he did sing on though made them extra special.
As for Jeff, well me and Jeff go so far back it's unreal. We were mixing the album at Andy Sneap's and I wanted an extra vocal texture on a few tracks to spice it up. My voice is more hardcore and I wanted some extra gravel on things. It all seemed to make sense to Jeff once I had bribed him with a 12 pack of his favorite beer (laughs)!"
Hypocrisy main man Peter Tägtgren comments: "It's great that Lock Up is back in the saddle again and that I could be apart of it. This album will tear you a new asshole!"
Carcass vocalist Jeff Walker fills in: "I think it's pretty fair to say that the current incarnation of Lock Up have done the late Jesse Pintado more than proud!"
Necropolis Transparent tracklist:
01. Brethren Of The Pentagram
02. Accelerated Mutation
03. The Embodiment Of Paradox And Chaos
04. Necropolis Transparent
05. Parasite Drama
06. Anvil Of Flesh
07. Rage Incarnate Reborn
