With guitarist Hellfiend (aka Matt Harvey) committed to destroying the European countryside with EXHUMED, Los Angeles-based death metal horde GRAVEHILL have turned to CARDIAC ARREST ax-wielder Tom Knizner to fill-in for the band’s performance at this year’s San Diego Metal Swap Meet. An official statement from the band reads as follows:
Critically acclaimed atmospheric rock band Anathema are set to release the highly anticipated We’re Here Because We’re Here on June 7th on The End Records. The album’s release coincides with the band’s first ever North American tour. Dates in support of Blackfield kick off on May 18th in Washington, DC.
Monsterworks Release Video for “God” / Gear Up For New Albums Monsterworks’ The God Album Released Today in the U.S. UK Supermetallers MONSTERWORKS have just completed a new DIY video for “God,” the title track from The God Album, released on February 28th through Casket Music. Check it out at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsZjWCEISIU The song itself is a general commentary on religion and puts the god of the Old Testament in a philosophical headlock. However, if you find that too deep, just enjoy the METAL. Most of the lyrics are lost in the screaming and roaring anyway!
