-- NEWS --


PROFOUND LORE RECORDS
this new label has been launched by esteemed metal journalists Chris
Bruni
(BW&BK) and Adrian Bromley (Unrestrained!) – the label will be
dedicated
to releasing exclusive limited edition vinyl -- both rarities /
unreleased
material and re-released albums

VICTORY RECORDS
Boca Raton based Undecided Records and Films will now be exclusively
distributed by Victory Records in North America

SEVERANCE
Joe Dan de la Fuente has replaced guitarist Lupe Duque – the band is
currently in the studio recording a new album

DEICIDE
the band has dropped off the planned tour with Superjoint Ritual
because
aspects of the deal were not to the band’s satisfaction

PAUL CROOK
the former Anthrax and Sebastian Bach guitarist has been drafted by
Queen
members Brian May and Roger Taylor as the (Seat 1) guitar player for
their
rock musical ‘We Will Rock You’

CHUCK SCHULDINER
Chuck’s mother, Jane Schuldiner, has recanted on her vow to release the
unfinished Control Denied tracks for free download in response to the
Karmaggedon Media release of the material on the album ‘Zero Tolerance’
–
in her words: “His last masterpiece deserves more than to be released
as
unfinished bits of rehearsal room recordings on CD, or to be grabbed
for
free on the internet. It deserves to be finished by the rest of the
band
and to be released on a full-length album, titled: ‘When Machine And
Man
Collide’.”
