God Forbid - Set Title For Upcoming Album
Last month GOD FORBID completed the final round of touring in support of their Gone Forever album. The group immediately proceeded to the studio to begin work on their highly anticipated new album, IV:Constitution Of Treason, with Eric Rachel (ATREYU, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, EVETY TIME I DIE) at Trax East and Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM) at Audiohammer Studios. The eagerly anticipated new album is tentatively set for a September 20th release via Century Media.
Dallas Coyle (guitars, vocals) checks in with the following studio report: "This is Dallas here to let you guys know what's been going on with us. We just finished the Black White Dead All Over tour at the end of April and it was a complete success. I'd like to thank all the people for coming out to the shows and showing us some love. We met a lot of cool people and went to a lot of familiar and unfamiliar cities. Good times. I'd also like to thank all the bands on the Black White Dead All Over tour: It Dies Today, Caliban and Full Blown Chaos.
One day after we finished the tour Corey went into Trax East with producer/long time friend Eric Rachel to lay down the drums for the new record IV: Constitution Of Treason. Currently, we are in the middle of doing guitar and vocals at Audio Hammer Studios with Jason Suecof and everything so far is sounding really special. It's such a relaxed atmosphere and you guys should have a new GOD FORBID record by the end of the year. Don't worry you won't be disappointed. We'll be having some video up of our recording sessions so keep a look out.
We have some new features on www.f-p-e.com with Ferrante's Power Equipment. I have one of the riffs of the month and Doc and I give some tips on guitar playing. Check out if you're a gear head, if you want learn some techniques on guitar. Well, I gotta get going and get back to the studio. Keep rockin out there and raise the new flag."

Falkenbach - Set The Title For Upcoming Album
The upcoming album by Falkenbach will be entitled "Heralding - The Fireblade", the album that was recorded before under the name "En Their Medh Riki Fara" was going to be the Falkenbach debut but "due to the bad equipment and a lack of competence of the engineer the recording was stopped and the songs were not completed", some of the songs are featured "on other Falkenbach albums, like "Laeknishendr" or "Homeward Shore" for example, but most of them are unreleased so far, like "?En Their Medh Riki Fara?"or " Of Forests unknown"."
"At the moment it´s not sure if all the songs will make it on the album in the end, but you can expect a running time of about 40-50 minutes. The final recording and mixing will start at the end of July, the day of release has not been announced by Napalm Rec. yet."

Gamma Ray - Work On The New Album Almost Complete
GAMMA RAY FINISH WORK ON THEIR NEW ALBUM!
Gamma Ray have recently finished the final mixing of their new album which was recorded at the Hansen Studios in Hamburg. The album includes 11 tracks which represent all of the characteristic strengths of the bands musical career to date. The album title is 'MAJESTIC' and is scheduled for a release late September. Until then the band will undetake worldwide promotional activities and in parallel they also have to move their Hamburg studio to a new Location because the actual building will be completely rebuilt this summer.
You can meet GAMMA RAY during summer at the following European Festivals:
24.06. Balingen, Germany, BANG YOUR HEAD Festival
16.07. Helsinki, Finland, TUSKA Festival
The album release will be followed by a worldwide headline tour which is in the planning stage at the moment. Further to this, the Gamma Ray website will be relaunched with a completely new design and a dedicated Fan Club member area in June. Fan Club Members who haven't received the Fan Club Newsletter in February by post and everyone who is interested in joining the bands official Fan Club should send an email to the new Fan Club email address: _GammaRayFC@aol.com_ to receive further information.
Here are some direct words from the band:
"Dear Friends
Yes, we know it's been a long time without any real news and visible activity from the band!
But, since December 2004 we have been working on the production of the new album and it was a long period of blood sweat and tears, but also of joy and pleasure. Everyone in the band went through some personal suffering or difficulties during this time and occasionally we had the feeling that something or someone wanted to stop us from making this record.
Finally, two months ago, we got the message that we had to leave our studio complex at the end of day because some sharks bought the whole building and had nothing more constructive in mind than kicking out all the bands that were rehearsing there only to rebuild it into a storage place for rich peoples dirty attorney files or whatever.....! With this in mind it made working in a relaxed atmosphere even harder. But we could not be stopped and fought our way through and....presto... WE MADE IT!!!
We are sure that the long wait has not been in vain and everyone's gonna be rewarded with an album that goes beyond the expected (as always this is just our humble opinion and the rest is up to the listener).
Now we're working out the big promo and touring game plan with Sanctuary and All Access and of course getting everything ready to move to the new studio location which we found a few weeks ago.

Eidolon - Progress Of The Upcoming Album
The band posted the following update concerning the recording of the new album and other issues:
"Hey there!
Just a little update to let you know that i am about half way through the recording of my guitar tracks for the new album and (aside from a few computer problems that will be fixed this weekend) things are sounding great!
Adrian will start his first 3 bass tracks this coming thursday (may 5th, Shawn's b-day!) which im sure will sound awesome, as we are using a couple new pieces of gear for this recording which are very cool! speaking of which, i have some more new toys (man, it's like xmas every day around here lately. WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!) for the studio, which i will use for some of my recordings along the way.
I will be leaving for the European Festival tour with Megadeth at the beginning of june, so i must finish all of the bass tracks and main guitar tracks before the end of the month, at which point i will send all the files to Nils in norway for vocals.
As i have mentioned before, i'm Really not sure when the album will be complete. we are looking at the beginning of 2006.

Ayreon - 'Come Back to Me' Single
Ayreon newsletter arrived today earlier with some great news.
Firstly. New Ayreon single! The third single taken from the Ayreon album 'The Human Equation' will be released June 16th, 2005. It is called 'Come Back to Me', and is a slightly extended and newly mixed version of the song 'Day 7: Hope'. Other tracks include: 'August Fire' featuring Mostly Autumn's Heather Findlay; 'When I'm 64', a Beatles cover song; and 'Back 2 Me', a special remix. A video clip was shot during the summer of 2004 and is included on the single together with a 'making of' video. For more information and artwork, visit the site.
Secondly. It's been quiet for a while now... Consider it the calm before the storm, because the last few months have been extremely hectic in the Electric Castle. Arjen has been hard at work; inside his studio recording a new album, and outside his studio doing photoshoots and videoshoots, all for his latest musical endeavour: a band! The newsletter says that they have to keep us in suspense a little while longer before they can reveal details of this exciting new development.
Thirdly. Shadow Gallery's Gary Wehrkamp and Mike Baker have been good friends with Arjen for years now. Gary and Mike performed on various Arjen Lucassen projects and when Shadow Gallery began work on their new album, they asked for Arjen to perform a solo on one of their songs. He was only too happy and thrilled to play on the album called 'Room V' to be released at the end of May, 2005 through InsideOut. Arjen also sang and played guitar on a very interesting bonus track featured on the special edition of Room V. For more information on this album please check: http://www.shadowgallery.com
And lastly. For all those who would like to get their hands on the ProgAid project single, it is now available for ordering. Arjen contributed two guitar solos to this project that has many artists from the prog community participating to raise money for the Asian Tsunami Relief Fund. Arjen's solo spots are featured in the 'Definitive Mix'. More information on the project at http://www.ProgAID.com

Ozzy Osbourne - Ozzy Has Parkin Syndrome
Black Sabbath frontman and general global superstar, Ozzy Osbourne has been diagnosed with Parkin Syndrome, a hereditary condition that affects the nervous system.
It was widely assumed that the prince of darkness' famous tremors were the result of his drug fuelled past life, but it now appears that the condition is a medical one.
A quote from Ozzy said: "I'd always assumed it was the booze and stuff. Now I've found it all stems from the family. It's called Parkin but it's not Parkinson's. Anything to do with the central nervous system has the word Parkin in it. A doctor in Los Angeles tried to tell me I had multiple sclerosis. And I believed him until I had a second opinion. When I told my sisters she said, 'Not you as well? Mum had that and Auntie Elsie and your grandma.' I'm like, 'Thanks for fucking telling me'. Me walking around thinking I've got some drug paralysis."
