Virgin Steele - New Album On The Way
US metallers Virgin Steele are set to release their new album, The Black Light Bacchanalia, via SPV/Steamhammer on the following dates:
Germany, Austria, Switzerland: October 22
Rest of Europe: October 25
USA, Canada: November 9
The new album will be available as a limited-edition digipak, standard CD, double gatefold vinyl and as a digital download.
Commented vocalist David DeFeis: "It will be a long album... close to 80 minutes. The album (to be really brief) concerns the reversal of all things. Once conquered by invading cultures, older Pagan deities become the demons of the new religion. The Black Light Bacchanalia is a reversal of the sacred sexual customs, and the final desecration of the "Goddess Principle", switching from matrilineal descent to patrilineal descent, with the rise of the idea of the Mountain-Fire God.... And it also has to do with ancient fears such as the fear of the sun not rising... Lyrically it is a kind of continuation of the story I told on the last album... Musically it is quite something else..."
Songtitles set to appear on The Black Light Bacchanalia CD include:
* By The Hammer Of Zeus
* Pagan Heart
* The Bread Of Wickedness
* The Orpheus Taboo
* In A Dream Of Fire
* Nepenthe
* Necropolis (He Answers Them With Death)
* To Crown Them With Halos Parts 1 & 2
* The Tortures Of The Damned
* The Black Light Bacchanalia (The Age That Is To Come)
* Eternal Regret

Satan's Host - New Album On The Way
Satanic metal warlords Satan's Host are currently at Flatline Audio with producer Dave Otero working on the band's ninth studio album, entitled By The Hands Of The Devil, to be released next year by Moribund Records.
The band recently parted ways with vocalist Eli Elixir, marking the return of Leviathan Thisiren (a.k.a. Harry Conklin of Jan Panzer and Titan Force).
According to a press release: "Founding six-string sorcerer Patrick Evil, with his cornucopia of über-evil riffs, has been at the top of his game with all-new tracks that will devour the weak at heart and those who try to dismiss this true metal virtuoso. Anthony 'Evil Hobbit' Lopez, making his second appearance on the drums of doom, has taken the groove to a new hellish high, and with the addition of Margar on bass, Satan's Host have taken their musical journey to new, darker realms with deeper and broader themes and lyrical content."
Commented Patrick Evil: "I think this will be our greatest album to date. Our ninth release for our 25th aniversary ? how much better can it get than that?"

Holy Blood - New Album Title Revealed
Ukraine metal band Holy Blood have issued the following tame update regarding their new album Shining Sun cover art]:
"Our new album Shining Sun is the most successful work of Holy Blood. In this album, we tried to combine different styles of music such as Folk Metal, Melodic Metalcore, New school Hardcore. This album should combine audiences who like Ensiferum, Chruachan, Eluveitie, As I Lay Dying, Sill Remains, Seventh Star, Hatebreed.
We have started writing song for this album back in 2005 with old band members and completed writing songs in 2009 with a totally new line-up. The purpose of this album was to create a new style, which no one before us did not play. In my opinion, we succeed with the task.
While working on the new album there was a conflict between Holy Blood band members, which, unfortunately, we were unable to unleash in a peaceful way, so we had to split up. But nevertheless, we did not give up, and finished the album with a new band members. That conflict has affected the time of finalizing the Shining Sun. We planned to finalize and publish the album in late 2008. Process was delayed, but now we do not regret that. With the new line-up, we got new ideas and thoughts that we were able to put into this recording, making this album more musically attractive.
Also, we paid special attention to the lyrics in this album. The texts in this album resonate with each other. They contain the call to love nature and homeland, as well as light that illuminates this very nature and homeland. This light, bright sun, is God himself, who in turn is the Creator of all nature. So this album will be interesting not only to listeners of contemporary Folk Metal, as well as spiritual and lovers of poetry.
People who like the sound of folk instruments in the Folk Metal, will be surprised. In addition to block flute, which we used on the previous albums, the new album was recorded with instruments such as - harp, bagpipe (goat), and the ancient Slavic tool - buzka. Buzka is a precursor of the modern saxophone. Under the sounds of this instrument the Slavs went to war, since the existence of Kievan Rus. We have an instrumental composition in the album, where simultaneously are playing Goat and Buzka. In memory of our ancestors, we called this instrumental composition - Kievan Rus.
The CD itself has an unusually beautiful design and nice booklet with photos and images of ancient churches in Russia. The album will feature eight songs and two instrumental compositions. Also on the CD will be media section with a our new video for the song "Shining Sun"."

Mors Principium Est - Writing New Material
Mors Principium Est vocalist Ville Viljanen has posted the following blog on the band's MySpace page:
"Yeah yeah, it's been a while since last time updated, but there hasn't been anything to update. Anyway, we are writing new material. Have been writing for a long time already, but it's not so easy to get something ready. Couple of songs are kinda ready music wise, but no vocal parts yet.
And this is especially for those people who are asking are we still alive or not and when is our next album coming out. Well, I don't want to sound rude, but if a band still has gigs to play, doesn't that mean that the band is alive??
And about the album. I will not promise anything, because I can't. I really don't know when do we have enough songs ready and also once we have about 4-5 songs ready, then we will start to negotiate with various record labels and that also may take a while. Sooo, IF we are really lucky, we could have a new album out at the end of the year 2010, but I personally think, that 2011 sounds more realistic. But like I said, I can not promise anything. We'll just have to wait and see how things go."

Abysmal Dawn - Set To Enter The Studio
Abysmal Dawn will begin recording the follow-up album to their Relapse debut Programmed To Consume this May at Trench Studio in Corona, CA with John Haddad (Phobia, Intronaut, Hirax). The album will be mixed by Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Vital Remains, Cannibal Corpse) at his Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, FL. A fall release date is expected.
Abysmal Dawn's Charles Elliot commented on the upcoming album: "It's always great to work with John Haddad, whom we've worked with on our previous two releases. This time we thought we'd try something a little different though as far as the mix goes. After to speaking to Erik Rutan at great length we know he's the man for the job. He's a living legend and knows how real death metal should sound! Everyone in the band is really excited to be working with him and we know this is going to be our most crushing release yet. We've been hard at work demoing all the material before we enter the studio and things sound amazing already! This will be our catchiest yet most extreme and technical release to date.
We're also happy to be working with our new drummer Scott Fuller (ex-Havok, ex-Skitzo, ex-Ashes Of Icons). Scott comes from more of a thrash background but was born to play death metal and has never had the outlet for that until now. So far it's been a real pleasure to be in a band with someone with the same fire for this music as Mike and I again. A fitting replacement for Terry with even more chops to boot."
Additional recording details will be made available shortly. Audio samples and video from the band's Programmed To Consume album can be viewed online now via the Abysmal Dawn MySpace.
