Children Of Bodom - Drop Off Lamb Of God Tour
Official press release
Award-winning Finnish heavy metal band Children Of Bodom was forced to cancel its remaining live dates as part of the "No Fear Energy Tour" with Lamb Of God due to injuries sustained by guitarist and front man Alexi Laiho. Laiho, 30, broke his shoulder two weeks ago when he was ejected from his tour bus bunk after the vehicle took a sharp turn. Laiho and Children Of Bodom are touring North America in support of the band's critically acclaimed album "Blooddrunk". The axe slinger was recently named as the world's "Best Metal Guitarist" in the 15th annual Guitar World reader's poll.
Against recommendation, Laiho had decided to "bite the bullet" and remain on tour, wearing the arm in a sling to restrict movement at all times when he was not on stage. But after performing ten live dates with both the broken shoulder and internal bleeding, the toll became too much for the guitar hero to endure and Children Of Bodom made the decision to cut its current tour short, placing Laiho's long-term health as its first priority.
"After the New York show (on May 9) I knew it was going to be over," commented Laiho in an official statement. "During the 3rd song I started feeling like someone was stabbing me in my lungs, my heart and my ribs. That was the kind of pain that neither stubbornness, painkillers, nor alcohol could alleviate. I wanted to try to keep going but after seeing a second doctor in Philadelphia, I was basically told that I could fuck myself up for life if I don't stop playing. Against all recommendation, I have played and sang for the last 10 days in violent pain which has only made my condition worsen. So, I decided to listen to everyone around me, who were telling me the best thing to do would be to go home and get some proper rest and give my shoulder some time to heal."
"This was a hard decision for me and I feel bad about it," he continued. "But it is the right thing to do if I want to keep making music. I apologize to our great fans for not being there for the remaining shows and I want to thank all the guys from the other bands; Lamb Of God, As I Lay Dying, God Forbid and Municipal Waste for backing me up on this. Most of all I want to thank our fans for still being there, showing support, and continuing to rock out with me! I promise I will be back and I hope you all will too! Horns up!"
After a few weeks rest, Children Of Bodom will start their European summer festival run on May 30th from Rock Hard Festival 2009 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. All summer festival dates will go down as planned and remain unaffected by Alexi's injury!

"Eternal Tears Of Sorrow has had several setbacks during the past nine months, including the most recent setback, Risto Ruuth leaving the band just before the mixing session.

After listening to the demos and having test rehearsals, the band made their decision."

Thine Eyes Bleed - Update From The Band
Canadian metallers Thine Eyes Bleed have issued the following update:
"Hey everyone. Lots of questions surrounding our future lately. I figured time for an update. We been on hiatus for awhile now with the exception of a show last december in honor of our late manager, Dave Lander. It s time to get the machine running again.
We've been bustin' ass writing new material. Its been difficult with all of us scattered throughout North America and not in the same city. This will all come to an end shortly. This is who we are and nothing can change that. Having so much downtime has made us all realize how much we love this band and how badly we need it. We've been demoing new material and it is the best we've done to date. It doesn't stray too far from what we've written in the past but it definitely packs a punch and is a little more mature. We cant wait to get out there and play some new shit for you all."

Kalmah - In The Studio
Finnish metallers Kalmah have issued the following update:
"We have entered studio to record our 6th full length album. During May we will record 9 new songs and couple of covers. Mixing and mastering will take place at the beginning of Autumn when the daylight starts to disappear from the Northern Finland.
What's new? Well, I would have to say that all Kalmah elements are strongly present and the band has more strength than ever. And we will very likely use real trumpet, so at least that is something new...
You will find studio diary, pics and videos from here. Maybe you can get a hint of what is coming."

Gnostic - Gnostic - New Song Online
Season Of Mist has issued the following update:
"Dear thinkers and (un)believers, the time has come to unveil a full song from Gnostic's debut "Engineering The Rule"! Download the "Sleeping Ground" track here or listen to it on our MySpace page!"
Drummer Steve Flynn comments on the song: ""Sleeping Ground" is one of the most diverse and aggressive songs on "Engineering The Rule". It has elements from thrash to death to grind, with blast beats, fast double bass, melodic polyphonic guitar harmonies, bass and drum breakdowns, screaming vocals, Latin percussion and on and on. However, despite the furious sounding nature of the song, the arrangement is quite crisp and clean with repeated thematic elements woven into the fabric of the song - culminating with bookend opening and closing riffs. "Sleeping Ground" really does a great job of embodying all that is Gnostic in one song."
More details about "Engineering The Rule" were previously reported at this location.
