Firewind - Working On New Material
Guitarist Gus G. of Greek metallers Firewind has issued the following update:
"The past few months for us have been really great. We decided to do select shows and festivals in 2009, so that we can concentrate on writing new material.
So in May we embarked on a 6 date UK / Ireland tour together with Stratovarius and Eden's Curse. All gigs were great and we already miss our UK fans right now... but we'll be back in UK and Ireland in 2010 that's for sure!
So, straight out of the final gig with Stratovarius and into the festival mood we played a bunch of great festivals like Metal Days (Switzerland), Rock Hard (Germany), Graspop (Belgium) for the 2nd year in a row and Tuska (Finland). Then we played a very special show in Greece (and the only one for the rest of the year). We played with the Scorpions & Dokken @ Creta Festival which took place in the beautiful island of Crete. I'm sure all good tourists know where that is.
Not only did we use special pyro for that show, but I also ended up joining my idols, Scorpions, on stage and played "Rock You Like A Hurricane"! This was beyond my imagination and I sure wasn't dreaming! I thank the Scorpions for being so nice to us and for the once-in-a-lifetime invitation to play with them, I'll never forget it!
We're now ready to do the final 3 shows of the summer:
July 19 - Unirock - Turkey
August 14 - Summer Breeze - Germany
August 28 - Ilha Do Ermal festival - Portugal
We'll see you all out there!"
Regarding the upcoming recording session, Gus G. adds:
"So while we've been doing all these select shows this year, we concentrated mainly on writing new material. I can tell you right now that we have 12 great vocal songs and 2 instrumentals. While it's too early to know what will end up on the album, all of us in the band are very pleased with the demos and pre-production we did and we are positive that we're creating the best album of our career so far!
We're planning to enter the studio this Autumn and looking into possibilities of who will be mixing our new album.
As for the material itself, I'd say it's what our fans would expect from us. Powerful rock / metal anthems with cool riffs and memorable vocal lines from Apollo, but also some faster & more technical stuff is on there. We also wrote a very challenging instrumental song. It will have a fusion of styles and advanced playing from all of us. Needless to say the guitar will shred like never before!

Paradise Lost - New Song Online
UK metallers Paradise Lost have posted online a new song, "As Horizons End", on their MySpace page.
"As Horizons End" comes off the band's forthcoming album, entitled "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us", which will be released on September 28 in Europe (October 6 in the US) via Century Media Records.
Nick Holmes comments: "This song is about someone who's on a downward spiral. Working too hard and trying to claw back some positive spirit by participating in all the so called joyous occasions in life, socialising and networking but to no avail, the long days have crushed the soul till only disappointment and cynicism remains. This song was inspired by the thousands of dishevelled looking middle aged businessmen I see in airports each year. This track has had a dozen face lifts since its inception and in true fashion, it was never intended to be the first track. Once it was mixed though it was hard to imagine any other song opening the album."
Gregor Mackintosh adds: "The whole point to this song was to capture a feeling of foreboding. Like when a thunderstorm is approaching. All the chord progressions are supposed to give an ominous sense of dread. The mid section lulls you into thinking that you're safe only to discover there is much bigger storm on the horizon."

Midnattsol - Part Ways With Guitarist, Seek Replacement
Midnattsol have issued the following update through their MySpace blog:
"Recently we told you the happy news, that our guitarist Fabian Pospiech became father of a little son. Such events always also bring some changes in life, thus Fabz decided to concentrate increasingly on his family and his new job. Unfortunately this also means that Fabz won't be able to play at Midnattsol any longer. We can understand his decision very well and wish him all the best and good luck for the future!
Thus it also means for us now: Midnattsol search for a new guitarist!
To complete the line-up and blast off again we are searching for a band experienced and creative guitarist. Do you already have live experience, are you motivated and ready for headbanging? Then please write to newguitarist midnattsol com and give us a short description about yourself (if possible with a picture) and what you have musically done so far.
What you can expect at us? A record deal, a rehearsal room at Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart, festivals and tours and of course us, a bunch of Midnattsols that like to party. We are currently writing songs for our third album and would be happy if you immediately join us with this and at the forthcoming Metal Female Voices Fest in Belgium. Musicians from Ludwigsburg / Stuttgart and the greater region will be preferred.
Metal on!"

Crux of the music is still melodic death metal but nuances are giving it a unique flavor. Keyboards are overwhelmingly epic and there are some stunning clean vocals by Jules Näveri. Bit of folk metal, pinch of doom, some thrashing, a whole lot of timeless melodies and progressive twists and there you have it: ingredients of the masterpiece."
