King Diamond Zyklon Death Angel & More: Metal File – News Story…
MTV.com – Oct 26, 2007
We’ll find out who takes the honor home on December 1 when the awards invade the city’s rpheum Theatre. The Red Chord Unearth Isis and Converge are also in the running for the award. Meanwhile the Shad and Killswitch have also been nominated in the Album of the Year (Major) and Act of the Year categories… Things are not well in the land of Gorgoroth. Gaahl frontman for the black-metal masters and guitarist Infernus recently had an undisclosed argument over the band’s future and via MySpace had announced their dissolution. But on Monday the band’s Web site insisted Infernus left the fold leaving Gaahl and bassist King ov Hell to continue on as Gorgoroth. Not so fast — Infernus a founding member of the band plans to file suit against his former bandmates for use of the Gorgoroth name. Gaahl issued a statement explaining the mess. “It’s the disrespect he has shown our working partners — record labels session musicians promoters (by sending unserious demands in riders etc.

The Gauntlet – Oct 26, 2007
ur discussions were both obvious (their new album ‘Gothic Kabbalah’ Therion’s unique place in the metal world) and tangential (our shared love of King Crimson the Swedish grindcore band Splitter whose shirt he was wearing) and by the time I ran out of questions nearly an hour and a half had passed. And while most of our topics ultimately turned back to Therion the last 15 minutes or so were spent on Demonoid a side project of the Niemann brothers’. Back in 2004 they released one of the year’s finest (and most overlooked) death metal albums in ‘Riders of the Apocalypse’ which featured Therion’s own Christofer Johnsson in the last performance of his to be published before his retirement from vocals. Now years later the band is working with new material as well as a new singer who will no doubt bring the band much more well-deserved attention: Emperor Magus Caligula. Needless to say both Johan and I (as well as the rest of Demonoid I would imagine) were thrilled with this development so we spent perhaps a little more time than necessary basking in the glow of this forthcoming album. The timing of our interview ended up being perfect though with the opening act Aesma Daeva taking the stage just as I got back downstairs to the floor. Prior to this tour I was entirely unfamiliar with the band but they turned out to be a surprisingly apropos opener for Therion and a respectable group in their own right… While Lori’s voice is the focus of every song the rest of the band packs a hefty plodding punch that occasionally will show some progressive arrangements and structures and ranges far beyond the cookie-cutter backdrop many Gothic metal bands favor. Between songs the band had a very casual conversational attitude and bantered lightly with the crowd. Lori also commented on some of their lyrics as well which turned out to be much more cerebral than their music’s visceral atmosphere would suggest. The crowd was of a middling size at this point respectable for an opening group but not quite what one might hope for a headliner’s lead-in with Aesma Daeva being both at once. Still the people who were there were more receptive and supportive than I would have thought especially for a group with so little name recognition in the area. After ‘The Loon’ they closed with two covers.

find Cape Times (South Africa) articles. Many thrash and death metal forays come across like the perfect soundtrack for a poltergeist movie… While there is much churlish plumbing the depths of the dark not all hardcore grind is aimed at getting you splayed out on the sacrificial alter. Good news for metal heads scrounging for the latest cutting edge hardcore releases is that the David Gresham Record Company has become home for numerous international hard rock labels. Founded by veteran music promoter David Gresham the local distributor has enjoyed success with acts such as Nickelback (a Platinum seller in South Africa) Killswitch Engage Sepultura Atreyu Slipknot and Trivium.

(Kelefa Sanneh)CUDAMANI (Saturday and Sunday) Visits from first-rate Balinese gamelans the percussion ensembles that have been dazzling Westerners for a century are rare enough. What sets the 10-year-old Cudamani apart from most is that it was founded to avoid the trap of playing for tourists which has freed the group to explore traditional as well as particularly innovative contemporary repertory. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts 566 La Guardia Place at Washington Square South Greenwich Village (212) 279-4200… (Sisario) RASPUTINA (Wednesday) Rasputina is a charmingly improbable project: part Marie Antoinette part metal. Three women who are cellists in corsets (as well as a drummer) sing about Transylvanian concubines as their music seesaws between elaborate chamber music counterpoint and grunting hard-rock chords complete with distortion.

ART 2007: RXY PAINE This installation is made up of two stainless-steel tree sculptures “Conjoined” and “Defunct” and a glacierlike boulder “Erratic” by Mr. The tree sculptures are made from thousands of pieces of metal pipe and rod elements that have been cut welded and polished. They are real enough to resemble actual trees but not so real that they form a continuum with the surrounding foliage. What captures your immediate attention is “Conjoined” a 40-by-45-foot sculpture of two trees whose gleaming steel branches cantilever and then improbably connect in midair. It is impossible to tell where the branches of one tree begin and the other’s end. But the piece is also beautifully eccentric a futuristic fantasy of streamlined vegetation manufactured in imitation of the real thing only much more appealing and exciting… com; closes on Sunday.

The band recently completed a run to the East Coast which included an appearance at the CMJ Music Marathon in Brooklyn. Continuing to support the band’s latest effort ‘Transmutations’ YAKUZA will confirm more shows shortly… Handled by Justin Broadrick (Napalm Death Godflesh Jesu) the remix has been described as “Powerful certainly but what makes this one of Broadrick’s best moments in years comes a full minute after the point where Yakuza aimed for coda. Broadrick charges in renewed unleashing a mechanized beat that’s pure concussive force. His samples volley but he shapes the din into a diatonic melody split in loose counterpoint by a groove more militant than you may imagine. Despite Broadrick’s recent trajectory this is unequivocally brutal” by Pitchfork.
