Paradise Lost - Third New Song And Video Online
Original news, posted on 28.08.2009
British gothic metal act Paradise Lost will release their highly anticipated new album "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" on Century Media Records on September 28, 2009 in Europe and October 6, 2009 in the US.
Now, "The Rise Of Denial", a brand new track from this landmark gothic metal opus has been posted at the band's redesigned MySpace site.
Guitarist Greg Mackintosh comments: "A classic PL song. This was the first song written for this album and the reason I decided to switch to 7 string guitars. It's almost like melodic, well structured grindcore. Dropping to 'A' really took this song in a different direction. It gives the song a kind of crushing, seething anger."
Vocalist Nick Holmes adds: "This song has a more 'old School' PL feel, particularly in the arrangement, and is definitely one of the most aggressive and instant tracks on the album. I find that aggressive vocals only work if the music is equally as aggressive and this is a good example. It was nice to write a song that ventures off musically for a few minutes before tying in at the end. A style we haven't done for quite some time. Lyrically this song deals with pushing problems away, burying one's head in the sand, something we all do at times I guess, but when people do it perpetually, it's a problem."
Also the title track of the album and another song called "As Horizons End" are available for streaming on the band's MySpace.
UPDATE (thanks to 13767)
"Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us", the new video from UK metallers Paradise Lost, has been made available online. The brand new video clip was created by Nathan T Heys / Link Productions.
"Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" is the title track of the band's forthcoming album, which will be released on September 28 in Europe (October 6 in North America) via Century Media Records.

"William, Robert and I are proud to announce our new partnership with Napalm Records", affirms Richard "Little Dickie" Mullins. "We're thrilled at the opportunity for a renewed vitality for our rock band, Karma To Burn. We eagerly anticipate an unstoppable connection between the songs we work so hard on and the fans of classic, directly in the eye of the storm riffage that we make our music for. While trends have come and gone, Napalm has stayed the course and supported a loyal fanbase all over the world. William, Robert and I have taken great pride in doing the same. It's this shared passion for great music... spearheaded by great songs... presented in a timeless fashion... that's assured William, Robert and I that Napalm Records will be where our future hits find the perfect home."

"Not only are we thrilled with this new partnership with Napalm Records, we are also excited to work on this new Karma To Burn album for the creative opportunity artistically. We had unfinished business when our gorilla sized heroin habits took over, overturning our cars and our lives, there came an accounting in which we fell before the Grim Reaper as wheat in winter, as lambs under the knife, so it allows us to continue the musical journey we started early in our careers. As songwriters we cherish this experience. We're having a blast in the studio recording some incredible rock music. Our beloved ...Appalachain... ...Mountains... taught us musically that lightning really can strike twice... so we're ready to continue the Karma To Burn rock odyssey with Napalm Records, and soon all necks will feel the steely bite of our soul-thirsting axes, wielded by the unforgiving iron hand of the new Karma To Burn full length. All Hail!"

Battle Of Mice - Call It A Day
Battle Of Mice has called it quits. Here's the official statement:
"After two critically acclaimed releases, Battle Of Mice has been officially and amicably dissolved. Never before has the story of a violent, interpersonal flameout been so aurally documented. It was intense while it lasted, but we should all be thankful that the band has ended; not with a bang, but with a whimper.
What the future holds:
The full length vinyl may still make an appearance sometime next year. We are waiting for the final word on that one.
Julie Christmas (Made Out Of Babies) is currently working on a solo record, be on the lookout. The record features almost an entirely different lineup on each song, featuring many special guests.
Josh Graham's (Neurosis, Red Sparowes) new band, A Storm Of Light, has a new release coming out September 2009. The record is called "Forgive Us Our Trespasses", and features Jarboe, Nerissa Campbell, Lydia Lunch, and more.
Joel Hamilton and Tony Maimone are both working on the next Book Of Knots record. Both are recording madmen as well. Joel recorded and plays on A Storm Of Light's record, and just finished recording the new Black Keys album.
Joe Tomino (The Fugees, Peeping Tom) has been on tour with his band Dub Trio, as well as playing with many others including Mike Patton.
That is about it. Be Well. Sleep and Dream."

Nachtmystium - To Release New Album Next Year
Nachtmystium are currently in pre-production mode for their next album. Recording for the new record will begin in early January and a spring release via Century Media Records is expected.
Band mastermind Blake Judd comments: "We're currently working on material for Black Meddle Part II (official title TBA) and will be doing a demoing pre-production session with Sanford Parker in October. The new material is reminiscent of Assassins with more of a rock and roll edge over all. Our love for post rock and industrial (ala Ministry, Killing Joke, etc.) is even more present this time around. We're hoping to make a record that will continue to push extreme music into uncharted territories."
