AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE announce new album title & contest winner!

Tim Lambesis of AUSTRIAN DEATH MACHINE has posted an update about the recordings for the 2nd album that are taking place right now. 'Double Brutal' is scheduled for release in the fall of this year.

Quote:

“I can't believe how fantastic things are going with the recording of "Double Brutal." For starters, I thought I would note that Rusty Cooley just finished a guitar solo on the album. If you're not familiar with his shredding guitar work, then you can listen to songs on his site Rusty Cooley - Official Site <MySpace.com - External Link Alert> Now regarding Ahhnold himself! I've been visited in the studio by my friend Fake Arnold who you can visit at FAKE ARNOLDâ„¢ on MySpace Comedy - Comic Clips, Funny Videos & Jokes <FAKE ARNOLDâ„¢ on MySpace Comedy - Comic Clips, Funny Videos & Jokes> . This album will be a good test of true Ahhnold fans to see if they can tell the difference between the lines done by Ahhnold himself, Fake Arnold, and our contest winner Timothy Benham.

For those of you just reading about the contest, Timothy Benham from Oklahoma is the winner amongst all of the submitted videos. You can check out what looks like an Ahhnold related senior school project in the blog on our MySpace site!"

IMPIOUS post album update & reveal album title!
Swedish Death Metallers IMPIOUS have chosen ‘Death Domination’ as the title for their new album. The record will be released this winter through Metal Blade Records! “

Quote:

The title symbolizes how death rules over all, and how man seeks to religion as a feeble comfort against what will happen when death takes us. Without death, religion is powerless. And only in death will religion fill it's purpose.

It was extremely important to us that the title would fit our new songs and artwork perfectly. We needed a short yet powerful title that would show just how confident we are about our new material. This album will by far be the most crushingly brutal album we've ever made and we believe this title says it all!

Drums and guitars are all recorded and Erik is right now finishing up the bass tracks.

Meanwhile, Martin and Valle are finishing the lyrics for the album that Martin will begin recording in a couple of days.

Every step we take in the studio is being filmed and there will be some clips added to our Myspace within the next month!”

RAVAGE post artwork and track listing for ‘The End of Tomorrow'!
New song posted on MySpace!

Boston Massachusetts metallers RAVAGE are ready to unleash their Metal Blade Records debut, ‘The End of Tomorrow’ on August 15th / 18th 2009. Artwork was handled by the famed artist Ed Repka who is known best for his Megadeth covers as well as cover art for Death, Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, and Austrian Death Machine. ‘The End of Tomorrow’ seamlessly intertwines the sounds of New Wave of British Heavy Metal, late 80's American Thrash Metal and late 90's European power metal to showcase the band's signature style. The album is sure to be enjoyed by metal maniacs young and old as it blends the soaring vocal and guitar melodies of Iron Maiden and Helloween with the raw power of thrashers like Testament and Kreator, presented in a crisply modern production-style courtesy of producer Peter Rutcho.
Here's what vocalist Al Ravage has to say;

Quote:

“This album has been a very, very long time in the making and we'd like to thank Metal Blade for giving traditional, no-bullshit, American heavy metal a chance again. Also thanks to Peter Rutcho for his great production work on the album (giving new life and freshness to a classic sound), and Ed Repka (for inviting you all to share a glimpse into Ravage's corner of the singularly demented alternate reality he has created with mere brush strokes). 'The End' is finally near! Get ready to Ravage and we'll see you on tour this fall.”

‘The End of Tomorrow’ track listing:
1. The Halls of Madness
2. Reign Fall
3. Freedom Fighter
4. Damn Nation
5. The Shredder
6. Into The Shackles
7. In Shattered Dreams
8. The Nightmare's Hold: Part 1
9. Nightcrawler
10. The Nightmare's Hold: Part 2
11. Grapes of Wrath
12. The End of Tomorrow
