Aesma Daeva - Guitarist Earl Root Has Passed Away
R.I.P. Earl Root 1962 - 2008
Earl Root was born in 1962 and for the rest of his life embraced music with passion and enthusiasm. He was raised in Edina MN. Growing up in a working class family he developed a strong work ethic and thrived on a full schedule that was as he said "bordering on chaos."
Earl formed the band Disturbed in the mid 80's, they played and toured constantly with acts such as Sepultura, and Death. A key contributor to the mid west Metal Scene Earl helped form the first Milwaukee Metal Fest, and for 27 years he ran The Root of all Evil Radio show at KFAI. Where he helped promote, interview and break many new underground acts.
Earl came home in the sense of the word when he met his wife Nancy. Nancy became an important support for him throughout his life. Together Earl and Nancy held memorable 4th of July parties, and Halloween was an event that was not taken lightly at the Root household.
Well on tour he could often be found in pawn shops finding collectable vinyl or as he described it to the younger generation "Really big cd's that sound better than cd". In 1990 his passion for collecting brought him to open Root Cellar Records A premier Vinyl record store. To date much of his collection remains and can be bought through his family's E-Bay Store.
In 2001 Earl joined Aesma Daeva as a primary rhythm guitarist. He continued to play guitar with the band throughout his chemo therapy, radiation and stem cell treatments. In 2007 with bladder cancer, and a kidney stent Earl completed a full U.S. and Canadian tour with Aesma Daeva.
Earl J Root passed away on Saturday May 24th 2008 at his home in Minneapolis with his wife Nancy at his side. He died of complications from his 10 year contention with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He is survived by his wife Nancy and son Arron.

Be'lakor, a dark melodic metal band from Melbourne, has quickly come to be regarded as one of Australia's leading metal acts.

Anathema - New Album Update
Anathema are very pleased to announce that the "Hindsight" album has been finished and the masters have been sent to the record company. As you may be aware, "Hindsight" is a semi acoustic album of classic Anathema tracks, and includes one new song.
Work on the new Anathema album "Horizons" is already well underway. We expect this to be our greatest album by a long, long way.
In other news, Danny Cavanagh will be touring Norway and Sweden with Anneke Van Giersbergen, former singer of The Gathering and now with Agua De Annique. Expect some special performances together. Not to be missed!
Danny Cavanagh / Anneke Van Giersbergen tour dates:
June 12 - Glassheim, Jevnaker, Norway
June 13 - Ravnedalen, Kristiansand, Norway
June 14 - Blue Garden, Trondheim, Norway
June 15 - Buckleys, Oslo, Norway
June 16 - Klubb Garage, Marsta/Stockholm, Sweden
In related news, Anathema have posted the following:
"It has been brought to our attention that the "Spherical Minds" album "Fern" is being passed around the internet as Anathema new material. The only Anathema new material we have released online are the three songs you can find on this site and on our Myspace page. Any supposed "demo" of any other song is probably Danny Cavanagh doing guest vocals on the "Spherical Minds" album. So just to let you know, if you think you are listening to "Lightning Song" or "Bricks"... you are not."

Thrash And Burn - N. American Tour Dates
The organizers of the Summer Slaughter Tour have just announced a second nationwide underground festival tour to take place later in the Summer. It's called The Thrash And Burn Tour, presented by Revolver Magazine in conjunction with Deathcote, Merch Now and Iron Fist Clothing.
While Summer Slaughter is known to be "The Most Extreme Tour of the Year" with a cutting edge line-up focused on pure progressive brutality and the different faces of death metal, The Thrash And Burn Tour will showcase a diverse mix of underground metal bands who draw from decades of Thrash, Punk and Hardcore to mold their 21st century sounds. Darkest Hour, fresh off their tour with At The Gates has been chosen to headline this tour.
Thrash And Burn aims to give the underground metal fan a relatively inexpensive way to see two handfuls of the most relevant bands today in an indoor setting.
Tour Organizer Mike Mowery comments "We aim to provide an inexpensive day of metal, thrash and punk. We've chosen a number of bands who compliment each other very well, yet keeping it diverse enough so there's something for the shredders, the moshers and the scenesters alike."
Darkest Hour will be supported by Parkway Drive, Misery Signals, Winds Of Plague, Stick To Your Guns, Arsis, Light This City, Arsonists Get All The Girls and After The Burial. All stops on the tour will see the addition of a special guest band for a total of 10 national acts each night. Special Guests scheduled to appear on certain dates include Suicide Silence, As Blood Runs Black, Emmure, Veil Of Maya, Brother Von Doom and more.
Darkest Hour's unofficial moniker "Live To Thrash, Thrash To Live" made them a perfect fit to headline the tour. Guitarist Mike Schleibaum had this to say: "Darkest Hour is excited to headline this year's inaugural Thrash and Burn tour. Touring with younger bands has always been something we have been about. It's a good way to keep metal evolving and progressing. We are stoked to be able to tour along with good friends Misery Signals, Parkway Drive, and Light This City and of course we look forward to hanging and partying with all the new friends we are soon to make! We want to send Deliver Us out with a party so see everyone in the pit!"
Thrash And Burn Tour Organizer Ash Avildsen had this to add: "We wanted to make a tour that could give people a chance to see young bands in the current underground that have made their own voice by drawing from a range of influences in heavy music throughout the past 20 years. I have always felt that Darkest Hour are one of the few bands that have truly been able to capture the timeless power of Thrash and Gothenburg metal with the modern energy and passion of punk and hardcore. With that being said, we couldn't have asked for a better headliner to launch the Thrash and Burn Tour in 2008. And If there is one thing that can bring the worlds of metal, punk and hardcore together, it's a circle pit. Washington DC's Darkest Hour will show you how this Summer."

Forbidden - Tour Drummer Announced
Cali's reunited thrashers Forbidden posted the following:
"Forbidden proudly announces Mark Hernandez (Heathen, Defiance, Re-Ignition, Vio-lence, Torque, Technocracy, Social Unrest), as the drummer for Forbidden's upcoming European tour. Mark Hernandez is one of the most dynamic and solid drummers in Hard Rock/Heavy Metal today. His aggressive attack and technical ability shine. Mark has proven himself over and over from his time in one of the most respected thrash metal bands of all time Vio-lence and more recently with Heathen and the rebirth of Defiance. Mark will be one of the most watched drummers in Hard rock & Heavy Metal for years to come."
Statements from the band:
Glen comments, "Mark is a bro from the Bay Area. I've been waiting for the opportunity to jam with him for years, and here we are. Mark came in the first day and blasted through 5 songs like it was nothing!!"
Craig comments, "Yes, we're all very excited about going over to Europe with Mark Hernandez behind the kit. It took us a while to sort out all of the details, so we apologize for the delay. It was rumored that Chris Kontos, whom I already have the honor of playing with in SpiralArms, was going to be Forbidden's European drummer. But that did not pan out because Chris had other obligations with Attitude Adjustment and the Part Time Christians. So we had to try out some other drummers and Mark was on Fire for the gig! He knocked us over with his audition and showed us how good he really is. This guy is going to surprise a lot of people. He shocked all of us and really did his homework. I've known Mark a long time after seeing him play with Vio-Lence and Re-igniton and most recently Heathen so I knew he had some chops. The last thing we would do is put someone onto the Forbidden drum throne who could not handle the job and pressure of filling some mighty large shoes. Obviously Paul Bostaph and Steve Jacobs would be there if they could, but Paul's in Testament and Steve is unavailable in the time frame of this tour. So Mark won the job flat out and he deserves it! So let's show him some love and respect to Mark when he bashing behind the kit with us in Europe. Make him feel welcome!"
Matt comments, "We are fortunate to land another great drummer, one that can live up to the caliber of world class drummers that we and our fans expect"
Russ comments, "Mark is a bad ass drummer that deserves a chance!"
