If you saw the latest issue of Revolver Magazine then you saw their annual Hottest Chicks In Metal III feature. Well now they are letting you see the pictures that didn’t make the cut at Revolver.com. The pictures in the magazine were very classy and nothing sleazy and I think it was very nice to leave something to the imagination.

Right now you can view a few pictures of Maria Brink of In This Moment and through the rest of the week a new set of pictures for the other beautiful ladies will be posted there as well. Don’t miss out!

According to All That Remains’ Frontman Phil Labonte’s personal Myspace.com blog, Phil has flow down to Florida where the band will be starting preproduction on the new record at Audio Hammer Studios this thursday.

We have 10 songs done, probly gonna have more on the disc. There are a few that are very similar to stuff on TFOI but there are a few that we really took a different approach to. Most of the songs are pretty short, I have ADD. Sue me. Oli had TONS of material and I had a couple things kickin around. Once we got together and started pounding stuff out things move pretty quickly. We don’t go to Audio Hammer Studios in sunny Florida to record for a week n a half so we may have 12 or so. They may not all make it on the disc but… Yeah, so we are workin hard. NO RELEASE DATE YET. Late August or Early September. Oh yeah, I did say Audio Hammer so that means Jason Suecof will be doing the next ATR disc. We’re really pumped to be working with Jason. I’ve known him since like 97 or 96 when I was in Shad. He’s a great guy and he’s a great producer so we can’t wait to see what he’s gonna do to the songs we are bangin around with.

“He gave us 10 different reasons why we should stop — ‘My microphone doesn’t work, I got diarrhea, the monitors are f–ked up’ — whatever he could think of,” Cazares told HeadbangersBlog.com. “And we decided that’s not fair to the fans. We wanted to give them a full show.”
