In Flames - Guitarist To Sit Out Upcoming Tour
In Flames have posted the following update:
"As some may or may not know, Jesper Strömblad has struggled for some time with alcoholic abuse, and decided to sit this one out (South America/Australia/Japan) in order to seek help and focus on rehabilitation and all that comes with it. We all talked about it and together with Jesper we chose to ask our longtime friend Niclas Engelin (Engel, ex-Gardenian), who helped us before, to complete the tour. We are all sad that it needed to come to this, but health comes first. Thanks for your understanding."
In other news, In Flames also won all three Bandit Rock Awards the band was nominated for, namely Best Swedish Band, Best Swedish Album and Best Swedish Live Band. The Bandit Rock Awards were held in Stockholm at Tyrol last Friday (January 30th). For more info, click here.

Mens Rea - New Video Online
Mens Rea is an Israeli Hard Rock/Grunge group, consisting of four 25 year old members. The band plays original music that has already received plenty of acclamations. The band's songs have been played on Israel's national radio, and have created quite a buzz. The 1st song on the band's MySpace, entitled "Abandoned", was recently released, and is the group's best song yet (probably because of its amazing guitar line). In addition, "Abandoned" has been selected by JMG (Jewish Music Group) for a compilation called "Israel Unleashed", released last November in the United States, and distributed by Sony/BMG. A video clip has also been released for this song.
During the last 2 years, the group has performed quite a lot (approximately 60 shows), including 2 gigs in major Israeli festivals (The Bereshit Festival and Tel Aviv University's Student Day) and a tour in the U.S (New York and New Jersey), with the band playing at "Kenny's Castaways", where huge artists such as Aerosmith and Bruce Springsteen have started their careers.
The members are currently living and working in Israel, but are craving for an International career (so that a relocation is an option), and therefore all of the songs are in English. The members are university students or recent graduates, yet they will happily give up their studies and day time jobs to make the above dream come true.

Urkraft - Call It Quits, New Album Available For Free Download
Danish metal band Urkraft have issued the following update on their official site:
"After 13 years of death metal we have decided to pull the plug.
We would like to express our gratitude to fans and friends who have supported us throughout the years, bought the records, showed up at gigs or even shared the stage with us.
We have achieved a lot of the things we hoped for when we started the band: album releases, lots of gigs and tours, beers and booze, good friends, and much more. There have been plenty of ups and downs, and as many other bands, we have taken our share of beatings from the music industry... nothing comes for free, so thank you and fuck you! To everyone else... cheers!
To share with you our latest piece of work, we invite you all to download our 2008 full-length recording, "A Scornful Death", in MP3/CD quality. The record is the third from Urkraft and definitely our chief piece of work! Overall, we intended to make this album loud, angry and dirty, and we are quite satisfied with the result - so we hope you'll let it blow your speakers...
Apart from the drums, "A Scornful Death" was recorded under modest conditions and small expenses in our own studio, The Red Room. However, the record would probably not have unearthed without the help from the following people: Tue Madsen The Haunted, Sick Of It All, Himsa, Hatesphere] (producrion of drum tracks, mix and master), our sound guy and friend Daniel "beast" (technical hotline and equipment support), Anders Lundemark Konkhra] (who generously lent us his recording facilities while tracking drums) and Eg (for sharing his fancy piano). In addition, Mads Haarløv adds growls on tracks 5 and 8, while Tommy Neperus handles the keyboard on track 1. Thank you!"

Municipal Waste - To Record New Album In March
Earache Records press release
Earache recording artists Municipal Waste are set to start work on recording their new, yet to be titled album this March at Red Planet Studios in their hometown of Richmond, VA. The album will be produced by Zeuss, who produced the band's last album, 'The Art of Partying'.
The writing process for the new record is almost complete and the band is excited about bringing new ideas to the table. Frontman Tony Foresta comments: "So far the song-writing is coming off a lot more aggressive than our previous efforts."
Drummer Dave Witte agrees: "This set of new songs are challenging and super fun to play; we turned up the aggression and speed knobs while keeping the good time intact."
'The Art of Partying' was released in 2007 to great reviews and hailed the dawn of the most intense shows that Municipal Waste have played throughout the world. Looking ahead, Tony Foresta is enthused about the direction in which the band's writing has taken them on the new album: "I think it is a definite change from our last 2 albums. Nothing super-drastic, but a positive change. The Waste is still all about having a good time. But I think we all agreed on writing something a bit more pissed off and different with this album, instead of going ahead and writing the same album all over again. But don't fear, we're not getting "artistic" or any bullshit like that. We've just been listening to a lot more Poison Idea and NWOBHM and I feel it might show a bit with this next album."
The band have announced 3 song titles which promise entirely new levels of intensity and insanity in a style that is pure Waste: "Massive Aggressive", "Shredded Offering", and "The Divine Blasphemer".
The new Municipal Waste album is expected to be released worldwide on Earache Records in late August 2009.

Desultory - Reform, Working On New Album
Pulverised Records press release:
It is with our immense pleasure to announce that we had dug up an old Swedish Death Metal gem from the late 80's and bring you the legendary Desultory. With three ridiculously under-rated albums ("Into Eternity", "Bitterness" and "Swallow The Snake" respectively) under Metal Blade Records, the band was put to sleep indefinitely and was conjured back to life only recently. We are very eager to see what form of Death Metal disaster awaits us with this classic resurrection.
The band comments: "We are very pleased to sign with Pulverised Records as they have a very good reputation here in Sweden. Professional guys and fans of the Death Metal scene, just as it should be. After our 3rd album in 1996, we put Desultory to sleep and went on to explore other musical directions. But now, 13 years later, we are back again, we felt the need to create some new Death Metal and that it was time for Desultory to be reborn. The new material for the forthcoming record will be a touch of the old Desultory but mixed up with new influences. It will be hard, brutal and melodic.
Two lineup changes: Håkan Morberg is now playing lead guitar (before he was playing bass) and Jojje Bohlin is handling the bass. Still Klas Morberg on vox and guitar and Thomas Johnson smashing the drums.
We´re really looking forward to see you on tour or on a festival somewhere!"

Homo Iratus - Reunited
After almost two years after their break up, the Greek groove/death/grind band Homo Iratus are finally back to kick some serious ass. During the past two years, most of the members enrolled in other projects/bands and now that they reunited they are ready to bring the Greek death metal scene onto a higher level.
"What's really interesting is the current line up of the band... So we have Mitch on vocals, Angelos on bass, Argy on drums and Kostas on guitars - Homo Iratus' first guitarist. However, there's also another member on guitars who recently joined the band, Kostas. During the past two years following the break up of Homo Iratus, Angelos, Argy and the band's new member, Kostas, formed "God Of Rotors" and this is how they initially decided to include Kostas in the current line up of Homo Iratus."
The band is currently trying out some ideas for new tracks and at the same time they are rehearsing older ones. All this indicates that Homo Iratus will soon record a new album, which - according to what is stated on their official page on MySpace - is most likely to pick up back at "Human Consumes Human" and they will most probably at some point go on tour, both in Greece and abroad.
Bassist Angelos adds: "We are taking our time to reorganize and reorder everything while rehearsing old material and jamming new ideas. Things will pick up at "Human Consumes Human" and "Apocalypse" while adding a new breath of fresh mosh provoking, head banging, concrete bastard sized riffs. We will obviously do shows as soon as we are properly prepared and will present material from all 3 albums (2 old releases plus the new one). There is no speciffic timetable at the time being we are letting things evovle naturally to the point where we can hit the recording studio and stages again."
Homo Iratus current line up looks as follows:
Mitch - vocals ("Human Consumes Human")
Angelos - bass ("Human Consumes Human", "Knowledge? Their Enemy", "Apocalypse")
Argy - drums ("Absence of Progress", "Human Consumes Human", "Knowledge? Their Enemy", "Apocalypse")
Kostas - guitars ("Absence Of Progress")
Kostas - guitars (new member, "God of Rotors", "Sklerotikz")

Perseo Miranda - To Release New Single
Italian metal band Perseo Miranda have recorded a new single with Pierangelo "Pier" Gonella (known from Necrodeath and Labyrinth fame).
"Lodger Records are releasing the fourth release by Perseo Miranda: a single with two tracks, entitled "Parallel Dimension" and "The Mountain". The new single was recorded at The Quake Studio in Genoa (Italy). This release marks an important turning point for the Genoese artists, who might have abandoned the dark Gothic metal, which characterised the "Light And Darkness" and "Evolution Of The Spirit" records, to give in to a personal Thrash/Prog metal, more elaborated and incisive a style.
Perseo Miranda wrote both the lyrics and the music, Pier Gonnella - official guitarist of Necrodeath and Labyrinth - plays guitar and bass guitar. Gonnella with great art alterns the sheer vocal melodies of Perrseo with amazing solos. Along with Gonnella, we find the American drummer Mick Johnson.
It is possible to listen to the single "Parallel Dimensions" on the band's MySpace page.
Meanwhile Perseo Miranda is about to complete his next album: "It'll be ready in a couple of months, then I'll be able to play it live with my new band"."

Last week, though, 3 members (vocalist Gerson Carvalho (Primordium), bassist Alex Pereira (Lord Blasphemate) and drummer Matheus Medeiros) left the band.
The remaining ...In Deviltry line up looks as follows:
Larisse Katarine (Mystic Melody) - vocals
Tommy Lindal - guitars

Ariane Salgado - violin
Luciana Varella - keyboards
