Into Eternity - New Video Available Online
Century Media press release
The wait is finally over as Canadian extreme progressive metal "icons" Into Eternity proudly present their new conceptual, visual masterpiece for "Time Immemorial". The track appears on the group's critically acclaimed concept album, "The Incurable Tragedy", which debuted at 17 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart upon its September release.
The video, which features vocalist Stu Block in a prominent role, was filmed in Montreal in August, just before the group embarked on the Summer Slaughter Canada tour. That trek was followed by a run alongside the legendary Iced Earth, which capped off a year that also saw the band tour with Symphony X, At The Gates and The Dillinger Escape Plan, among others.
Block (vocals) further comments: "It was really cool and, to be frank, kinda creepy doing some silent acting in the video. I've done some acting in high school and some extra work in Vancouver, so I was sorta familiar with what to do. So, hey Rob Zombie, I'm ready man; throw me in yer next slasher flick!
It was a long day for everyone - 14 hours, I think. I don't think we knew what to expect from the video because the focus was more on the acting sequences as opposed to band performance, which was kind of weird for us. Everyone involved with the video were really laid back and cool, and the other actors and actresses were really awesome and helped me out if I had any questions. (They are the pro's, after all!)
We filmed the video in Montreal at a haunted house that had been turned into a nightclub/restaurant, so it was a treat both for us to be filming a video in Canada and for me being a horror movie buff, as I was definitely in my element. I was hoping for a ghost sighting or for people to start disappearing periodically, but well, that never happened.
We were really pressed for time near the end of the shoot due to the fact we had to pick up our tour manager from the airport since we were going to start a new tour, but what a way to start a tour! I think all in all we are happy the video is finally finished, and we hope our fans enjoy it! Thanks to all our fans for picking up "The Incurable Tragedy", and we will see you all on the road in the future."
The video can be watched here.

Revolution Renaissance - South American Tour Postponed
Finnish metal band Revolution Renaissance has issued the following update:
''We are forced to postpone our tour due to lack of professionalism and responsibility of the promoter Incartaz. They approached us with an offer for the tour in June, which we were very happy about. When the time came to start fulfilling the contractual obligations, it became evident that this promoter was incompetent and could not be trusted.''
''We are very sorry about this and we tried to book the tour with the new promoter Eric De Haas of Dynamo Productions, but due to his obligations with Nightwish's South American tour, he did not have enough time to finalize the touring arrangements. We have full confidence in Eric De Haas, who was responsible for the first three South American tours for Stratovarius. The tour is currently being booked in correspondence with the new album release.''

Pestilence - New Album Details
Dutch death metallers Pestilence have posted the following update on their MySpace page:
"Pestilence is currently finishing up their first record in 15 years. Expect more brutal, heavier and faster songs than any old Pestilence album. The album, entitled 'Resurrection Macabre', features eleven new tracks and the limited edition first print will include three re-recordings chosen by fans. "Out of the Body", "Chemo Therapy" and "Lost Souls" were voted most.
The songs are lyrically more in the vein of 'Consuming Impulse'. Meaning, they're more "reality-style" than religious or philosophical. Some song-titles are: "HangMan" (Into the mind of an executioner), "Synthetic Grotesque" (Trying to create through cloning), "Fiend" (Drug addiction), "Resurrection Macabre" (The return of the Pestilence), "Hate Suicide" (Last hours of a suicide-bomber) just to name a few.
Expect a new track to be added to the band's myspace (http://www.myspace.com/pestilenceofficial) before the end of this year. The album cover can already be viewed here: http://www.mascotrecords.com/index.php?cid=3&pid=280
'Resurrection Macabre' will be released March 16, 2009!"
In order to promote 'Resurrection Macabre', Pestilence will embark on a European tour.
(More dates and countries will be added soon)

Ephel Duath - Announce New Vocalist, New Song Online
Earache Records press release
Italian avant-garde metallers Ephel Duath have announced a new vocalist for the band, Guillermo Gonzales.
Ephel Duath guitarist and founding member Davide Tiso comments: "Guillermo has been close to Ephel Duath for some time - he almost joined the band before in 2003! He was going to take the place of the clean vocalist Davide Tolomei who left Ephel Duath after "The Painters Palette". Then we realized that Guillermo's aggressive vocal approach was going to clash with Lucio and we all agreed to abandon the idea. In any case, from that moment on Guillermo started to be very active with Ephel Duath, helping me with lyrics and the development of the concepts so far. The whole idea behind the songs "Vector" and "Vector Third Movement" from "Pain Necessary To Know" come from a conversation we had together. More recently, he was the person that pushed me to write the short stories I did for "Through My Dog's Eyes".
I always thought that one day I was going to have a band with my friend Guillermo, then when Lucio realized that he was forced to abandon the band, we both agreed that he was the right person to call to properly continue the activity of Ephel Duath. We are already working so hard, that I didn't have the time to realize how excited I am to start this new adventure... What I know is that I'm really, really happy and genuinely trusting for the future of my life, and my band."
New vocalist Guillermo is a professional poker player and the band even plan to finance some future tours through playing poker.
Guillermo comments: "I've been in the Italian extreme metal scene since 1992. For 15 years I've been the lead singer of Mothercare, one of the most important Italian underground extreme metal bands (boasting collaborations with Napalm Death and Nasum). I met Davide in 2002 when we both lived in Venice. He's been my dearest friend since then. We often tried to do something together, but our roads always went in different directions. Now it seems our roads have finally become one.
2 months ago I left Mothercare because of internal contrasts and I felt like my life was over. 2 weeks ago Davide told me that Lucio was going to quit and asked me to become Ephel Duath's new singer. A new life started. Lucio is a great performer and has been a great partner for Davide; I'm honored to be his heir and I'm insanely excited about being in a band that I always considered one of the most innovative and original in today's music. In my "regular" life I am a poker journalist and a professional poker player. Since 2006 I'm the editor in chief of Poker Sportivo, the main Italian poker magazine. I live now in Verona but I'm often touring Europe to follow all major poker tournaments. I've got a blog where I write about my poker life, cinema, music, creative writing and other stuff."

Gojira - French Tour Dates Announced
French progressive/death metallers Gojira will embark on a headlining tour in France in January/February 2009. The band also posted the following US tour update on their MySpace:
"Gojira are currently in the United States rampaging about in all major cities with In Flames. Drummer Mario Duplantier recently told Radio France International about their first show in North America: "We arrived in Montreal where we had a great and warm welcome, just as usual, we noticed that the people from Quebec seem to like French bands in general. This first show at Metropolis was sold out and people were very enthusiastc and wild during our show, we felt somewhat overwhelmed by the crowd's energy... that was awesome! We really need to go back there for a headlining show next time!."
He added: "Our set-list is pretty different from when we play in Europe, we are openers here. So we just play 35 minutes every night and that's a little bit frustrating with 4 albums of songs to choose from. We try to strike a balance between the more accessible tracks and the more violent ones, also, when we only have such a short playing time, we're just trying to be efficient and straight to the point."

Kataklysm - New Video Online
Directed by Maxime Hebert of ProxyMite Productions, the brand new Kataklysm music video for the track "Blood In Heaven" is now available for viewing worldwide at MySpace Metal! Click here to watch it.
"Blood In Heaven" is the second video made in support of the group's latest album "Prevail", which was released on May 23 (Europe) and May 27 (North America) earlier this year. The album was also honored as "Album Of The Year" in the "Metal/Hardcore" category at the Quebec Indie Music Awards.
In September, Kataklysm singer Maurizio Iacono explained the band's song choice and the entire filming process as follows:
"A while back ago we made the decision to have the title track "Prevail" be the next video clip. After carefully thinking it over, we have now decided to go with our original plan and shoot the video for "Blood In Heaven". Lots of fans have been asking us to do a clip for that song so we decided, 'why not, it's all about the fans anyways!' Besides, "Prevail" is already a massive live song and doesn't need any more of a push. There are other gems on this album that we want to introduce so here it goes!
We wanted to do something cool with this one so we're hiring someone that will be filming us on the upcoming tour everywhere we go. We want you guys, the fans, to be in the video so come hang out at the shows; the camera will be rolling everyday! We will be incorporating some live Kataklysmic action as well.
The live shots will be from the band's hometown and final gig of the tour in Montreal, Canada. There will be a huge crew in place to film with five different cameras in all angles. We want to see all you sick motherfuckers going off! This will also be a special gig because we will only play "Blood In Heaven" at this show on the tour."
