Whitesnake wish Uriah & Chris every success in pursuing their individual musical careers & express their sincere gratitude for the exceptional contribution they both made to the legacy of the band.
Whitesnake are proud to welcome drummer/vocalist extraordinaire, Briian Tichy... (http://www.briantichy.com)
Whitesnake are currently in the studio writing & recording the follow up to their award winning Good To Be Bad album, which is expected to be released throughout the world on the Frontiers label in Spring 2011 to coincide with their return to touring.
At this timeWhitesnake are still exploring their options for the position of new bass player/singer...
Commented vocalist Dave Coverdale: "One never enters into a relationship expecting it to end, but, as in other avenues of life, these things happen... Often it is not necessarily any one persons fault, it just unfolds that the relationship has naturally run it's course... I really wish Chris & Uriah well in everything they do...they are great guys & exceptional musicians...
As we bid a fond farewell to the guys, it is with great pleasure we welcome Briian Tichy to the band... I've personally been a fan of his work since I first heard him destroy a drum kit years ago with Ozzy Osbourne & thro' his amazing career with Pride & Glory, Billy Idol & Foreigner... I have no doubt he will help take the Snake to new & dizzying heights with his personality & powerhouse playing... & I believe he will inspire me to boldly go where no singer has gone before..."

Sólstafir - New Video Available Online
"She Destroys Again" is the new video from Sólstafir and can be viewed below. The song appears on the band's most recent album Köld, which was released in February 2009.
Commented drummer Guðmundur Óli Pálmason: "It took me over a year, working on and off, to finish it. There is no digital post-processing, except that the photos were combined and arranged in Final Cut. All effects are 100% manual and handmade. When I was already half way through making the video, my computer crashed. Stupid me had no backups so I had to start from scratch. Luckily, I still had all the negatives, though. I Hope you enjoy!"

Mystic Prophecy - New Drummer Announced
German Power metallers Mystic Prophecy have added a new drummer to their line-up. The word from the band goes as follows:
"Mystic Prophecy's search for a new drummer is over. After months of auditioning and listening to numerous drummers the band finally got the right man for the job, namely Claudio Sisto.
This is what Claudio had to say in his biography: "My name is Claudio Sisto. I'm half Italian but was born in Southern Germany. I got infected with the Heavy Metal virus as a child, in 1996 I had my first drum lessons and so far I played in bands like Contracrash, Mantikor and Ungehobelt. With Contracrash I released an album, rocked the Bang your Head Festival in 2008 and also toured Germany and Finland. In May 2010 I joined Mystic Prophecy claiming the vacant drum kit's seat and I can't wait to kick ass with the guys!"
Currently the band is working hard on their 7th studio album, details are going to follow soon."

Malevolent Creation - Rejoined By Original Bassist
Malevolent Creation have once again been rejoined by original bassist Jason Blachowicz. Blachowicz initially left on good terms to further his tattoo career, but the death metal sickness still runs deep in his veins.
"Been in hiding, working in tattoo shops for quite some time now but my gut has been aching to do one of the things that I do best... spreading malevolence across the globe with my brothers in metal," commented Blachowicz. "The evil in my blood has motivated me to dust the cobwebs off of my bass and commit to performing blasphemy and anger upon mine and everyone else's ears once again. This is also for one of my inspirations, Peter Steele, and for all of the loyal Malevolent Creation fans who have been supporting us for 23 fucking years! Our 11th album, Invidious Dominion, is going to rip the weak and feeble to shreds."
Malevolent Creation's 11th studio outing was produced and recorded by Erik Rutan at Mana Studios in Florida. The new album, entitled Invidious Dominion, will be released on August 24th in North America via Nuclear Blast.

Iron Maiden - New Album Details And Song Online
The release date for Iron Maiden's new studio album The Final Frontier is now confirmed for Monday 16th August. The new album features artwork illustrated by Melvyn Grant and, to mark the occasion, the band have made special arrangements for one new album track "El Dorado" to be made available Worldwide as a FREE digital download MP3 with immediate effect. Click here for your free download (US fans, go here).
Singer Bruce Dickinson explains: "El Dorado" is a preview of the forthcoming studio album. As we will be including it in the set of our Final Frontier World Tour (all dates here) we thought it would be great to thank all our fans and get them into The Final Frontier mood by giving them this song up front of the tour and album release."
The band reunited with long-time Maiden producer Kevin "Caveman" Shirley in early 2010 at Compass Point Studios, Nassau to record the album and then moved to LA to finish the recording and do the mixing. Compass Point Studio is very familiar to the band, it was where they recorded the Piece Of Mind ('83), Powerslave ('84) and Somewhere In Time ('86) albums.
Bruce comments: "The studio had the same vibe and it was exactly as it had been in 1983, nothing had changed! Even down to the broken shutter in the corner... same carpet... everything... It was really quite spooky. But we felt very relaxed in such a familiar and well-trodden environment and I think this shows in the playing and the atmosphere of the album."
Thirty years on from their eponymous debut album in April 1980, The Final Frontier will be Maiden's 15th studio album, making a remarkable average of a new album every two years for 30 years and totalling over 80 million album sales during this period.
The Final Frontier cover art] tracklist:
01. Satellite 15... The Final Frontier
02. El Dorado
03. Mother Of Mercy
04. Coming Home
05. The Alchemist
06. Isle Of Avalon
07. Starblind
08. The Talisman
09. The Man Who Would Be King
10. When The Wild Wind Blows

Elvenking - New Album Update
Italian metallers Elvenking have issued the following update on their official website:
''While the band is still around Europe playing (thanks to all the fans who came to our latest gigs!) the Elvenking machine is still going on at full speed behind the scenes.
At the moment Dennis Ward is mixing the album in Germany, while on the other side of the planet, artist Samuel Araya (you probably remember him for the (in)famous Cradle Of Filth's Thornography cover for example) is giving life to the atmospheres contained in the album through his paintings.
And while the album production is taking its final shape, the band is ready to shoot the video for the new track "The cabal" on June 5th and 6th, with director Mirco Andreis who previously worked with the band on "The Divided Heart" video.
The time is slowly coming..."

Greek metallers Rotting Christ have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:
"Rotting Christ's frontman Sakis has been involved in a car accident in which he has sustained injuries to his leg that will keep him glued to his bed for at least a month. Unfortunately this means Rotting Christ have been forced to postpone their upcoming South American tour.

Whatever doesn't kill us will make us stronger!
With respect,
Sakis on behalf of Rotting Christ."

Marionette - UK Tour Dates
Swedish metallers Marionette have issued the following update on their MySpace blog:
"We will embark on a UK headlining tour in October.
Commented bassist and founding member Mikael Medin: "UK fans get ready for some monster shows on our headlining run this October. We took three trips to the UK last year, each being better than the last. Those seeing us for the first time will get a proper evening with Marionette. In addition to extended sets, including fan favorites from Enemies And Spite, we'll play songs we haven't tried out on the road in quite some time. Fans will also see that we've worked hard to upgrade all elements of our show. We'll be announcing more shows in the coming weeks.
As we wind down the touring for Enemies And Spite and begin thinking about the next Marionette album, we are hoping to squeeze in a brand new song we are working on our new vocalist Alexander Andersson. He has not only proven to be an excellent growler, but has a belting clean voice that will floor you live. Get your tickets now and we'll see you in the mosh pit this fall!"
Annouced UK tour dates are as follows:
Oct. 06 - Southampton, UK- Joiners
Oct. 07 - Yeovil, UK - Orange Box
Oct. 10 - Wrexham, UK - Central Station
Oct. 16 - Glasgow, UK - King Tut's
Oct. 17 - London, UK - O2 Bar Academy Islington
