Heathen - Mike Jastremski Passed Away
Former HEATHEN bassist Mike "Yaz" Jastremski passed away this morning (May 23). No further information is currently available.
Jastremski performed on HEATHEN's classic 1987 debut "Breaking the Silence" before leaving the group a short time later to form PIGS. He eventually rejoined HEATHEN in time for their appearance at the August 2001 Thrash of the Titans benefit concert for TESTAMENT frontman Chuck Billy.
HEATHEN parted ways with Jastremski in June 2004 over what was rumored at the time to be Yaz's "continued drug and drinking problems." He was replaced in the group by Jon Torres, who had previously participated in such bands as THUNDERHEAD, WARNING SF, ULYSSES SIREN, LAAZ ROCKIT and ANGEL WITCH.
HEATHEN guitarist Lee Altus said at the time of Yaz's final departure from the band, "We're sorry to see go and wish him all the best. He is a good friend and I'm glad that we parted ways without any animosity and can still remain best of friends."

God Forbid - Set Title For Upcoming Album
Last month GOD FORBID completed the final round of touring in support of their Gone Forever album. The group immediately proceeded to the studio to begin work on their highly anticipated new album, IV:Constitution Of Treason, with Eric Rachel (ATREYU, DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, EVETY TIME I DIE) at Trax East and Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM) at Audiohammer Studios. The eagerly anticipated new album is tentatively set for a September 20th release via Century Media.
Dallas Coyle (guitars, vocals) checks in with the following studio report: "This is Dallas here to let you guys know what's been going on with us. We just finished the Black White Dead All Over tour at the end of April and it was a complete success. I'd like to thank all the people for coming out to the shows and showing us some love. We met a lot of cool people and went to a lot of familiar and unfamiliar cities. Good times. I'd also like to thank all the bands on the Black White Dead All Over tour: It Dies Today, Caliban and Full Blown Chaos.
One day after we finished the tour Corey went into Trax East with producer/long time friend Eric Rachel to lay down the drums for the new record IV: Constitution Of Treason. Currently, we are in the middle of doing guitar and vocals at Audio Hammer Studios with Jason Suecof and everything so far is sounding really special. It's such a relaxed atmosphere and you guys should have a new GOD FORBID record by the end of the year. Don't worry you won't be disappointed. We'll be having some video up of our recording sessions so keep a look out.
We have some new features on www.f-p-e.com with Ferrante's Power Equipment. I have one of the riffs of the month and Doc and I give some tips on guitar playing. Check out if you're a gear head, if you want learn some techniques on guitar. Well, I gotta get going and get back to the studio. Keep rockin out there and raise the new flag."

Gamma Ray - Work On The New Album Almost Complete
GAMMA RAY FINISH WORK ON THEIR NEW ALBUM!
Gamma Ray have recently finished the final mixing of their new album which was recorded at the Hansen Studios in Hamburg. The album includes 11 tracks which represent all of the characteristic strengths of the bands musical career to date. The album title is 'MAJESTIC' and is scheduled for a release late September. Until then the band will undetake worldwide promotional activities and in parallel they also have to move their Hamburg studio to a new Location because the actual building will be completely rebuilt this summer.
You can meet GAMMA RAY during summer at the following European Festivals:
24.06. Balingen, Germany, BANG YOUR HEAD Festival
16.07. Helsinki, Finland, TUSKA Festival
The album release will be followed by a worldwide headline tour which is in the planning stage at the moment. Further to this, the Gamma Ray website will be relaunched with a completely new design and a dedicated Fan Club member area in June. Fan Club Members who haven't received the Fan Club Newsletter in February by post and everyone who is interested in joining the bands official Fan Club should send an email to the new Fan Club email address: _GammaRayFC@aol.com_ to receive further information.
Here are some direct words from the band:
"Dear Friends
Yes, we know it's been a long time without any real news and visible activity from the band!
But, since December 2004 we have been working on the production of the new album and it was a long period of blood sweat and tears, but also of joy and pleasure. Everyone in the band went through some personal suffering or difficulties during this time and occasionally we had the feeling that something or someone wanted to stop us from making this record.
Finally, two months ago, we got the message that we had to leave our studio complex at the end of day because some sharks bought the whole building and had nothing more constructive in mind than kicking out all the bands that were rehearsing there only to rebuild it into a storage place for rich peoples dirty attorney files or whatever.....! With this in mind it made working in a relaxed atmosphere even harder. But we could not be stopped and fought our way through and....presto... WE MADE IT!!!
We are sure that the long wait has not been in vain and everyone's gonna be rewarded with an album that goes beyond the expected (as always this is just our humble opinion and the rest is up to the listener).
Now we're working out the big promo and touring game plan with Sanctuary and All Access and of course getting everything ready to move to the new studio location which we found a few weeks ago.

Metal Church's David Wayne Dies
The Following is the Press Release posted on the David Wayne website:
David Wayne's Metal Church
May 10, 2005
On behalf of David Wayne's Metal Church, we would like to express our deepest sorrow in the passing of our Metal Brother, David Wayne. This is not only a loss for us as a band and his family, but also millions of "Metal Heads" throughout the world. David died due to complications from injuries he sustained in a head-on automobile accident several months ago.
David Wayne was the patented scratchy vocals of several Metal Church albums and was in the process of returning to the metal scene with his new band lineup. His goal was to return to the sounds of Metal Church's albums released in 1984 and 1986. We will always remember the burning words and vocals in "Gods of Wrath," "Watch the Children Pray," and "Start the Fire." David and his current band had just completed several new songs and were ready to head to the recording studio after their European tour dates this summer.
Along with David's family and friends, we would ask that cards, letters, and flowers be sent to the below address. Additionally, donations are being accepted to help David's family with funeral expenses.

Eidolon - Progress Of The Upcoming Album
The band posted the following update concerning the recording of the new album and other issues:
"Hey there!
Just a little update to let you know that i am about half way through the recording of my guitar tracks for the new album and (aside from a few computer problems that will be fixed this weekend) things are sounding great!
Adrian will start his first 3 bass tracks this coming thursday (may 5th, Shawn's b-day!) which im sure will sound awesome, as we are using a couple new pieces of gear for this recording which are very cool! speaking of which, i have some more new toys (man, it's like xmas every day around here lately. WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!) for the studio, which i will use for some of my recordings along the way.
I will be leaving for the European Festival tour with Megadeth at the beginning of june, so i must finish all of the bass tracks and main guitar tracks before the end of the month, at which point i will send all the files to Nils in norway for vocals.
As i have mentioned before, i'm Really not sure when the album will be complete. we are looking at the beginning of 2006.
talk soon.
Glen"

Celtic Frost - Demo Song Are Finished
Tom Gabriel Fischer posted the following update on his blog:
We finished the demonstration songs yesterday. They will be used for various industry purposes. We focused entirely on heavy material, and these songs are a clear indication of what the album is going to be like, they are dark, ferocious, sometimes very unique, and very intense. The full album will be more varied, but the general direction is obvious.
All the recordings were made at our rehearsal studio, and we used live versions for most of the tracks. We spent Sunday mixing at Oakland Recording in Winterthur, Switzerland. Erol engineered, and Martin and me managed to annoy him constantly with our demands/comments/immaturities.
Almost everything came out as intended. The only song that doesn't yet work is "Os Abysmi vel Daath". This is a bitter pill to swallow, for it is one of our earliest dark songs for the new album, and we had a lot of faith in it. We will have to go back and put some very concise work into it. The song seems so simple, and yet it is very complex and has managed to defeat us every step of the way so far.
The other songs of the demo sound extremely Celtic Frost to me, in details sometimes astonishingly close to "Morbid Tales" or "To Mega Therion". "Ain Elohim" and "Temple of Depression" are perhaps my favourites among these songs. Although it is a new song, the title and some of my contributions to "Temple of Depression" go back to the original Celtic Frost of many years ago.
If all goes according to plan, Martin is going to pick up a well-known Swedish producer from the airport in just a few hours. We'll talk for a day about a possible collaboration, and he'll hear almost the entire album on Tuesday.

The song seems so simple, and yet it is very complex and has managed to defeat us every step of the way so far.
The other songs of the demo sound extremely Celtic Frost to me, in details sometimes astonishingly close to "Morbid Tales" or "To Mega Therion". "Ain Elohim" and "Temple of Depression" are perhaps my favourites among these songs. Although it is a new song, the title and some of my contributions to "Temple of Depression" go back to the original Celtic Frost of many years ago.
If all goes according to plan, Martin is going to pick up a well-known Swedish producer from the airport in just a few hours. We'll talk for a day about a possible collaboration, and he'll hear almost the entire album on Tuesday.
