Those pesky new Avengers keep revealing themselves, next up The Amazingly Spectacular Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman. Mr. Parker joins the premiere group in the Marvel Universe. First on the list was Luke Cage and tomorrow will bring more reveals.  

Candlelight Records, this year celebrating nine years of operations in North America, is enjoying its most successful early year sales launch with the recent release and Billboard chart entries with new albums from Ihsahn and Fear Factory.  

Marvel Comics has two words to say to Spider-Man’s alter ego Peter Parker — You’re Fired! Beginning in Amazing Spider-Man #623, on-sale March 3rd, everyone’s favorite friendly neighborhood hero has to not only survive key arch nemesis Vulture’s reign of terror…but also losing his job at the Mayor’s office! Peter Parker lays it all on the line to protect J. Jonah Jameson and keep the city from ripping itself apart, but Peter’s sacrifice winds up costing his career as a photographer.  

British thrashers EVILE have released a digital-only single of the band’s cover of PANTERA’s “Cemetery Gates”. EVILE recorded “Cemetery Gates” in 2009 for a special Metal Hammer Dimebag tribute album.  Tragically, it was also the last song the band recorded with their late bassist, MIKE ALEXANDER.
