Image Comics is pleased to announce THE DOOMSTER’S MONOLITHIC POCKET ALPHABET, written by Theo Prasidis and illustrated by Maarten Donders. The 64 page, full-color, pocket-sized, hardcover book puts a cheeky spin on small illustrated books in the vein of Edward Gorey’s The Gashlycrumb Tinies and Tim Burton’s The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and will hit stores this November.
Lock the mausoleum doors and chain up the cemetery gates – long-standing Gore Metal maniacs, EXHUMED re-emerge with their disgusting new album Death Revenge. The band’s 6th full-length sees them tread into ambitious new territory with their first concept album; a musical melodrama in thirteen parts based on shocking true events. Death Revenge takes place in the late 1820s in Edinburgh, Scotland and tells the macabre tale of a series of brutal murders where the victims’ cadavers were sold to anatomists, amid a grisly underground trade of grave-robbery. Recorded with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Goatwhore, Eternal, Gruesome), Death Revenge takes the band’s signature gore-drenched, death metal mayhem...
Few metal bands have been as influential and have had the longevity as Diamond Head – listed as a major influence by two of metal’s biggest, Metallica and Megadeth. Led by co-founding member/guitarist Brian Tatler, Diamond Head will be launching a North American tour that will include both US and Canadian dates, beginning on August 19th with Psycho Las Vegas festival appearance and ending on September 11th at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, New York.
Part of the reason I was ecstatic Jeff Loomis was joining the ranks of Arch Enemy was that it would help push the band forward beyond a simple vocalist change. Alissa White-Gluz provided a nice change of pace for the band, but beyond a new face and some rekindled energy, 2014’s War Eternal was the same old song and dance. Looks like Loomis’ inclusion in the band isn’t changing the routine, either.
When I was in 9th grade, I had a very hard time accepting that there was never going to be another Revocation in my life. The technical wizardry that came with 2009’s Existence is Futile pushed my listening habits further in the thrash metal revival that was going on at the time, and because of myself and many others Revocation have gone on to survive that fad and continue to push themselves to where they are now as a band. Discovering Revocation was a one of a kind feeling, but the closest I’ve ever felt to that feeling again was hearing California’s Madrost for the first time.
After splitting with Megadeth, both Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover collaborated and put a new band together, drafting ex-Scar the Martyr vocalist Henry Derek and Shadows Fall bassist into Act of Defiance. Their first album, Birth and the Burial, was a success in getting the band’s name out there, and now they’ve come out of hiding with a new album on the horizon and a new song ready to go.
