The Black Dahlia Murder’s newest album Deflorate, the follow-up to 2007’s Nocturnal will be released on September 15th. In preparation of this behemoth release, Metal Blade Records is offering a pre-order to fans which includes a signed copy of Deflorate at a low price*.
Still riding high on waves of acclaim for their rabidly-received DVD spectacle Majesty, The Black Dahlia Murder triumphantly bring you their fourth thrashing opus Deflorate. Vocalist Trevor Strnad states:
“We’re more confident than ever. I think as a band we really found our footing on Nocturnal. This time, we’ve taken this beast to the next level.”

Suffocation have been busy finishing up their forthcoming album, Blood Oath. I’ve got my tickets for Tuesday’s show in Raleigh and hopefully I’ll have an interview as well. If you have the means, hit the Blood Apocalypse tour with Whitechapel, Beneath The Massacre, Veil Of Maya, Decrepit Birth and Psycroptic. Dates are after the studio update (From drummer Mike Smith I believe).
“We’ve just completed another shift at Full Force Studios (6pm – 2am, typical shift). As for a progress report – we’ve completed all the drum tracking and rhythm and bass guitars as of this past Sunday. What we’ll …read more

Beneath The Massacre give us a quick recap on their European tour. They will kick off a North American Tour, and then back over the pond. Beneath The Massacre are touring in support of Dystopia.
Road warriors BENEATH THE MASSACRE, whose recently released technical death opus Dystopia debuted at #22 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, kicks off another North American tour this week. The “Montreal Assault” tour, which will see the band play alongside Despised Icon, Carnifex, The Plasmarifle and labelmates Neuraxis, continues through March 1, after which BTM will headline two weeks of shows in Eastern Canada.

Wow, what a line up for another 2009 fest in the States. The Virginia Death Fest will be held on March 15th in Norfolk Virgina at the Norfolk Masonic Temple with a killer line up! Tickets are $20 in advance with a $3.95 fee if you order them from HERE, or you can purchase them at the door for $25.00. Either way, you’re getting to see a bunch of great death metal bands for fairly cheap. My gas to go is probably going to cost more than the tickets, but it’s going to be worth it! Check out the line …read more

Holy crap, there is so much stuff coming out today. On a side note, before I get started the new (and last from the bad) Light This City Stormchaser will be coming on November 11th. I got a review copy the other day and I’m really diggin it. I’ll write up a review later in the week. AC/DC has sold over 3/4 of a million copies of their new album Black Ice in the U.S. alone and over 5 million copies worldwide. That’s some crazy numbers. It’s a cool rock album if you dig AC/DC. I’ll be transcribing the Opeth …read more

Last week when I named my ten picks for the best death metal vocals (IGN.Com names 10 Best Death Metal Vocals) I stressed how I enjoy clarity. I like to hear what they are screaming, growling or grunting, if not maybe just a little bit. Let me start off by saying that this is the only thing I don’t like about Beneath The Massacre’s sophomore release on Prosthetic Records, titled Dystopia. It’s not like a totally inaudible …read more

Montreal’s BENEATH THE MASSACRE has confirmed additional shows alongside Emmure upon completion of the current Cleansing The Nation Tour, featuring the two bands alongside headliners Suicide Silence and After The Burial, and Architects. The current tour is in anticipation of the Oct. 28 release of the band’s second Prosthetic Records effort, ‘Dystopia,’ which will see a European release Nov. 10 to coordinate with the band’s next touring run: a month-long trek through Europe as direct support to fellow Canadians Cryptopsy.

As of late I have found myself with way too much metal to listen to. Whether it’s a review of a yet to be released cd, to just a new CD I bought. Sometimes it becomes overwhelming for me to try to keep up with everything and some newer stuff gets over-looked.
Between trying to get my review up for the new Gojira The Way OF The Flesh CD to Beneath The Massacre’s Dystopia that I just got in the mail, I find almost little time to get in to one thing before moving on to the next. I don’t …read more
