Trigger The Bloodshed - To Replace Warpath As Support To Evile
Evile guitarist Ol Drake has posted the following update concerning the direct support slot on the band's upcoming UK tour with Mutant:
"On Sunday 12th April Warpath let us know they have to pull out of our tour (which starts today, Wednesday 15th April) due to their lead guitarist being "indirectly involved in a motorcycle accident" on the 8th. We wish them all the best and hope he has a speedy recovery.
We only had 2/3 days to find a replacement band.
It's such short notice for any band to be able to accomodate themselves to a tour which starts in a few days, which already has arrangements and agreements made, but I want to personally thank our friends Trigger The Bloodshed for stepping up and being willing to take part in the tour in place of Warpath. I'd like everyone to show Trigger The Bloodshed the same respect and consideration they've shown us in this situation by giving them a warm welcome onto the tour at the upcoming shows."
Here are the dates again:
04/15 - Birmingham UK, Barfly
04/16 - Newcastle UK, Academy 2
04/17 - Manchester UK, Academy 3
04/18 - Dublin IRE, Fibber Magees
04/19 - Cork IRE, An Cruiscin Lan
04/20 - Glasgow UK, Cathouse
04/21 - Edinburgh UK - Studio 24
04/22 - Sheffield UK, Corporation

"After a hard search for a new vocalist we are honoured to announce Aleksi Sihvonen as our new lead singer. He's a creative and diverse vocalist with loads of experience.

Aleksi Sihvonen adds:
"Sometimes life can take you to places you wouldn't even imagine going to. So, here I am and I'm very grateful and humbly honoured to be part of the Norther family.
I feel I've met the band I've always wanted to be in. Like every musician I want to make the very effort to improve my skills as much as possible and push myself to the limits and in Norther I feel that I'm able to use my voice as full and diverse as I've always wanted to.
I'm very excited on working on new material, practicing and playing shows everywhere possible!! See you all soon!!"

Alice In Chains - Complete Mixing New Album
Alice In Chains have posted the following band update on their MySpace:
"As most of you who have been paying attention have already figured out, the new Alice In Chains album is finally complete. We've been in the studio since October, and since it all began we celebrated 6 major holidays, elected a new President of the United States, crowned new World Series and Super Bowl champs, endured fires, earthquakes, & blackouts in and around Los Angeles, took a 2 1/2 week break to go to Australia, and to cap it all off, William & Jerry finally euthanized their beards.
This long, arduous process is complete, and although there's still a lot of work to be done, the songs are in the can and that's the most important thing. So what can I tell you when I look back on the last six months? I can tell you that the monotony of 12 to 16 hour days in the studio can be broken up by multiple costumes & hair styles, hours and hours of dice games, any sort of dialogue delivered in a heavily accentuated southern drawl, and a slew of special guests dropping by the studio.
Most of all I can tell you that some amazing songs were written and recorded. From the heaviest riff-dripping gut puncher to the most sadly beautiful song I think this band has ever recorded, I honestly believe that this album will return Alice In Chains to the top of the hard rock heap. So now the next few months are dedicated to things like album artwork, lining up interviews & press, shooting videos, planning tours, and figuring out whether to bury Jerry & William's beards at sea or donate them to science.
Hopefully these new songs will strike a chord and make a similar impact on all of you out there that were moved by this band in the first place. These songs have definitely done that with me, and frankly I'm getting pretty sick and tired of loving this stuff alone, so I can't wait for it to be released so it'll become your favorite record of 2009 and we can discuss it at the shows.
So clear a slot in your CD shelf and schedule maternity leave from work in September, because the long drought will be over soon."

Power Quest - Part Ways With Guitarist Again
English power metallers Power Quest have posted the following news:
"We are sorry to announce that after 10 months Bill Hudson and Power Quest have parted ways. The split was extremely amicable and was down to the fact that both parties were struggling with the logistics of Bill being based in LA and the rest of the band in Europe.
Power Quest keyboardist and founder Steve Williams commented: "Unfortunately the timescales and costs involved were too great for us to be able to manage in the current climate. We remain the very best of friends and certainly do not rule out a collaboration between myself and Bill in the not too distant future. We all wish him the very best for the future with Circle II Circle and his other projects and we look forward to him joining us on stage at ProgPower USA in Atlanta in September!"
Bill Hudson also commented: "Yeah, it's true. I'm no longer in Power Quest and that pretty much sucks. Unfortunately, having to fly back and forth between Europe and the US became a hassle, and I was even having to NOT to be present at some shows, such as Hammerfest in Wales. That situation wasn't good for either of us. However, you can expect to see me on stage with them at ProgPower USA this year, as well as some other surprises that might just appear here and there! Just to make it clear: I still love those dudes and we're still the best of friends! I wanna thank all of our amazing fans (some of the most hardcore I've ever seen) as well as Manuela, Simon and Paul, who work their asses off to make Power Quest's life easier on the road!"

Borknagar - New Album Title Named
The following update has been posted by Borknagar guitarist Øystein Garnes Brun on the band's Myspace page:
"The title of the new Borknager album will be nothing less than: "Universal".
As the musical and lyrical approach of the album has shaped up during the production of the new album, the title "Universal" is the title that shines through and mirrors the essence of the album. "Universal" is a title that is broad enough and huge enough to project the giant character of this album, both musically and lyrically.
The production of the new album is going as planned and the album will be mixed at Toproom studios by the end of April. We can assure you that the new album will come with a massive, energic and vital production that few can match, by far the best production we have had so far. The album is planned to be released through Indie Recordings in September, later this year, an actual date will be issued later."

"The title of the new Borknager album will be nothing less than: "Universal".
As the musical and lyrical approach of the album has shaped up during the production of the new album, the title "Universal" is the title that shines through and mirrors the essence of the album.

Sacred Oath - New Video Online
MTV has the exclusive on the world premier of the new video from Sacred Oath "Counting Zeros". Check it out at this location.
"Counting Zeros," also the first single from the self-titled new album, was handpicked by iTunes as their Discovery Download Pick Of The Week for April 7th, and the band quickly set upon creating a video for the song.
"I couldn't be happier," said lead singer/guitarist Rob Thorne in a written statement released by the label Angel Thorne Music. "Counting Zeros is my favorite track on the album for so many reasons, not least of which is the lyric content. A few years ago we were uncovering the corruption underneath the war in Iraq. Now we're neck deep in AIG bonuses and Bernie Madoff. 'Counting Zeros' is a call to arms."
It seems fitting for a band whose loyal fans refer to themselves as "Oathbangers" to pair up with Headbanger's Blog for the video debut. Sacred Oath released their first album in 1987 ("A Crystal Vision") when Headbanger's Ball was new and enjoying tremendous popularity. "Our fans have always been the "oathbanger"," says Thorne. "Everyone was bangin' something back then," he says with a smile.
The new album from Sacred Oath cracked the Top 50 on the rock charts within the first three days of sales on iTunes. At the #46 position (and climbing), this is already the best-selling album ever for the band. "Unbelievable," croaked Thorne from a 7:30 am wakeup call announcing the chart stats. "This is our time. Classic metal is back. Hand me the damn flag, I'll wave it with pride."
