Therion - Bassist To Sit Out Upcoming Tour
Therion bassist Nalle Påhlsson has announced he'll be sitting the upcoming South American and European headlining tours. In a message on the band's website he writes:
"I'm writing here to announce that I am not gonna be part of the tour that will start in October 2010, and the reasons are:
I´m alone with my two children and it´s not possible for me to be away for over two months.
I´m right now studying and I have to complete my education this autumn.
I have lately had a drinking-problem, and to be on tour is not the best thing for me right now.
I´m doing well at home, feeling good and everything is under control and that´s the way I´m gonna stay and keep it! If everything goes as planned I´m gonna stay member of Therion playing on the forthcoming albums and hopefully I will also be able to show up and play live in the future."
And about the upcoming album Sitra Ahra he says: "I´m also very glad, pleased and satisfied about my playing on the forthcoming album Sitra Ahra that will be released in September 2010! I really think this album will be well received by all of you fans! - It´s absolutely great!"
As you know, touring/session vocalist Snowy Shaw departed earlier this month.

Heaven Shall Burn - New Video To Kick Off Your Weekend
Amnesty International Germany is premiering the new Heaven Shall Burn video-clip for "Combat". People watching some of their latest festival-appearances might have gotten a glimpse to excerpts of the fully animated clip that was done by Animaatiokopla from Finland. You can view the video below.
Guitarist Maik Weichert comments on the song: "Whoever informed him/herself a little better about child soldiers will understand why the song sounds as furious."
"Combat" is taken off their latest album Invictus that got Heaven Shall Burn chart positions in several European countries such as Austria (#15), Switzerland (#38), Greece (#14) and above all an amazing #9 in their native German Mediacontrol charts.
In the winter Heaven Shall Burn will tour Europe again together with As I Lay Dying. Tour dates are available at this location. Support acts as well as additional shows should be announced soon.

Evocation - Update From The Studio
Some weeks ago, Swedish death metal band Evocation finished recording their new album. Their long awaited third album Apocalyptic will hit the streets somewhere this autumn.
Guitarist Marko talked about the recording process - shortly before Thomas Josefsson recorded the vocals - as follows: "Everything was progressing just as we planned! For the drums we had some amazing help this time - Roberto Laghi (Producer for In Flames etc.). And the result - well to be honest I haven't ever heard such an amazing drum sound... Prepare to be blown away... Same goes for the guitars and the bass as well - the sound has progressed and is more evil than ever! Next up to get to work is Thomas (vocals). After having heard his ideas for the vocal patterns together with the songs we all feel very confident that this album will become by far our strongest achievement up to date. It might sound like a cliché but trust me and wait until the album is released."
At the moment the band is busy mixing and mastering the material and after having heard some first samples of the finished stuff, you can prepare for another big happening, when Apocalyptic finally will hit the shops in late October/early November.
Evocation will also play a special gig together with label-mates Facebreaker in support and showcasing their new album. Evocation fans will have a chance to listen to a couple of songs off the new record as early as September 3rd. The gig will take place at The cool Bambi Galore club in Hamburg, Germany.

Opeth - Live DVD/CD Details
Fap away gentlemen, Opeth have revealed that their new live album In Live Concert At The Royal Albert Hall will be released through Roadrunner on September 20th. When you're done, you can read the entire press release below.
As part of the ongoing celebration of their 20th anniversary, Sweden's Opeth is releasing live footage and audio from the band's recent performance at London's famed Royal Albert Hall. In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, due out 9/21/10, is a fierce testament to Opeth's continued success in the progressive metal community.
Twenty years and nine records into their legendary career, Opeth's "progressively creative spirit" (ARTISTdirect) remains unwavering, propelling the band through the "Evolution XX: An Opeth Anthology" tour, which brought the Swedish titans to six of the world's most unique venues, and now, with the release of In Live Concert at the Royal Albert Hall, into the homes of their fans.
The performance at the Royal Albert Hall (recorded on the 5th of April, 2010) includes two sets, the first consisting of the band performing 2000's now-classic, breakthrough epic, Blackwater Park in its entirety, and the second, a chronologically arranged selection of material from the rest of Opeth's extensive catalogue, totaling almost three hours of music. It is, like the rest of Opeth's greatest work, "purposefully warped in all the right places" (Decibel). The front cover artwork concept pays tribute to Deep Purple´s Concerto for Group and Orchestra, underlining the band's longstanding love for their prog-rock roots.
Thinking back to the concert, frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt says: "Opeth had a magical night playing the Royal Albert Hall. It was a dream come true, and now afterwards, it still feels like a dream. We got it all on film, and this, our third live recording and DVD might be my personal favorite. One couldn't help to think of all the fantastic artists that played there over the years. Looking back at this night of celebration brings me fond memories of our 20th anniversary?this package is the delayed birthday present. Enjoy!"
The release will be available as three very special configurations:
Limited Edition Vinyl Box Set, which includes:
Double-DVD set of Opeth's performance at the legendary Royal Albert Hall, in its entirety, including bonus features.
A set of four 180-gram LP's of the concert's live audio in its entirety. The vinyl is housed in black poly lined inner sleeves which are packaged as 2 double gatefold set with exclusive artwork. Vinyl only available in this box set.

Rorcal - Sophomore Record In September
Swiss doom/sludge band Rorcal will release its second studio album Heliogabalus in September. The cover art will approximately look like this.
According to a press release: "Going right out of inferno, Heliogabalus is a 70 minutes song which illustrate the decadence of a roman emperor. This time Rorcal is going ways further than before, with crushing doom parts, including long hellish droning fields.
This album is scary, really aggressive, completely gloomy. Be sure, you never heard something like that, and you never will. Rorcal is doom at its best, it's like Hell on Earth. If you're looking for something really extreme, this is exactly what you need.
Released by Cal of Ror Records (Lilium Sova), in partnership with Division Records (Kehlvin, Unfold, Vancouver), this monolith will be presented in a A6 digifile, including 6 pages booklet, limited to 500 copies, hand numbered.
Expect something really slow, really doom and droning. In just a word: Hard. More than ever."
Two rough samples are already streaming at the band's MySpace.
