Dark Funeral - Recruit New Drummer
Dark Funeral posted the following on there Official Website & Official Myspace Page:
"Ave!
I guess by now most of you, if not all, have realised that Matte Modin is no longer in the band. I won't go into any details as why at this point, but I guess if you read the
statement Caligula made a couple of weeks ago it should be quite obvious...
Anyway, we have for the past few weeks been busy rehearsing with a new AMAZING drummer. And all I can say is WOW! He totally nails the songs exactly as they are played on the albums, with every single hit on the snare, kick, cymbals, etc, just a little bit better. Might sound a bit weird to you, but now with a new maniac behind the kit one realise that a lot of things have actually been missing from the drum department when we've played the songs live. Not anymore though. And I'm sure things will just get better.
With a new drummer onboard we have also come to realise another important thing. And that is how much we have destroyed some of our songs when we have performed them live. Nothing wrong with hyper speed, but apparently we have been blinded by the speed factor and brought it to a level where it, unfortunately, have ruined the genuine atmosphere, the melodies, and the heaviness of the songs. Now that's in the past. With the new drummer we play the songs in perfect harmony with the speed (perhaps a little bit faster than on the records, but now with total control) and it sounds phenomenal!!!
Anyway, our new drummer actually made his live debut with us in Germany a couple of weeks ago (Hellraiser Open Air & Rock Hard Festival). And considering the very short time we had to rehearse with him before these shows, it went pretty damn fine I must say.
Now I guess you're curious to know who the new guy is, right!? Well, I won't hold your breath any longer. Let's raise the horns high and welcome Nils Fjällström (Aeon/Sanctification etc) to Dark Funeral! Since this guy totally dominate on drums, he will from now on go under the pseudonym "Dominator".
Dominator comment; "I am deeply honoured to play the music of Dark Funeral and inspired by the challenge! I would like to thank Lord Ahriman, Emperor Magus Caligula, Chaq Mol and B-Force for their confidence in me!" Now I can't wait to hit the road and eventually start working on new material with the band! See you on the road!

Hatesphere - Parts Ways With Drummer And Bassist, Announced Replacements
The following message was posted on Hatesphere's official website:
"Now it is official: Anders and Mikael is no longer in the band.
We played the last show with them this tuesday - as support for mighty Megadeth.
We have known for a long time, that they would leave, so we kind of was getting used to it -
but it still was a weird feeling playing that last show with them. And a great show it was!
Anders and Mikael, thanks for all the good, the bad and the drunk times!
Picture of ancient line-up here.
The madness will go on.
The rumors about a split up, and rumors about this and that, is a part of the game I guess.
You know, people talk - people wants to be a part of this thing, and then people start spreading lies about the whole situation and bla bla bla...
We know the truth - and that´s enough for us. Who would ever believe the guy who beats up his girlfriend anyway..?
We knew this would start all kinds of shittalking and bla bla bla... And spcially now we are aware of it...
So, what to say?..maybe Go fuck yourself!
This band will continue as HateSphere.
We have lots of new adventures in the future. Lots of great shows, festivals and so on.
And so far we will continue with these two guys you see on the mugshot below.
On drums we got Dennis Buhl and on bass we got Mixen Lindberg.
Welcome!
Picture of new line-up here.
See you all out there - have a Serpent Summer
All the best
Jacob and the leftovers".

Obituary - Ralph Santolla To Help On New Album
OBITUARY frontman John Tardy has posted the following message on the group's official web site:
"There is so much going on! The most important thing is the recording/mixing of the new CD and that is going amazing! These new songs are so heavy and we are happy and lucky to announce that Ralph Santolla (ex-Iced Earth, Deicide, Death) is helping us with some of the guitar work. To have someone like Ralph working with us is totally new to OBITUARY and I can't tell you how excited we are. This new album, 'Xecutioner's Return', is just coming to life!
"I know there has been a lot of speculation about what we were going to do for another guitarist now that Allen West is unavailable. It is kind of strange how things work out. We have known Ralph for a long time and it is no suprise how good of a guitar player he is, but what was really nice is how good we work with each other and how good we get along. Not only is Ralph recording with us, but he will also be going with us to Europe in July and on our U.S. tour in September.
"We leave for South America tomorrow for the next set of shows and they should be some good ones. We have been to Argentina (a long time ago), but we have never been to Chile or Brazil, so we are looking forward to these shows. When we get home we will finish up the mixing of the new CD and we are on schedule for a late August release!"
Check out pictures from the recording studio at Obituary.cc.
Obituary's "Xecutioner's Return" is scheduled for release on August 28 via Candlelight Records. The band is working with artist Andreas Marshall for the cover art for "Xecutioner's Return". Marshall has worked with the band for "The End Complete" and their most recent record "Frozen in Time".

Leaves' Eyes will tour USA and Canada together with King Diamond, Kreator and Cellador in March, April and May 2008.
Liv Kristine : "This will be our fourth tour in North-America and we're really looking forward to another great adventure, joining King Diamond, Kreator and Cellador on the road. It's fantastic, this tour will give us the opportunity to play in front of new audiences in places we haven't visited before. At this point of time we will hopefully be able to present new material of our upcoming album which is supposed to be released in 2008."
Alex Krull: "That's a really awesome package! I have been listening to the music of King Diamond and Mercyful Fate from the beginning and I find it very inspiring. And of course I know King Diamond from the time when I was working for his European record company years ago. We've known Mille and Kreator for many years; it will be fun to go on tour together, mates! It's crazy, this tour will take place in almost 10 months and the dates are already booked and announced. We are looking forward to meet all our friends & fans from the US and Canada again!"
