NEW ZYKLON album "AEON" COMPLETED (to be released in SEPTEMBER) -- * London: ZYKLON premiered material from their forthcoming album, "Aeon", at London's famed Camden Underworld on June 6. The performance, which also included a set from labelmates MYRKSKOG, was preceeded by an advance listening session of "Aeon" for select media, including Kerrang!, Terrorizer, Rocksound, Powerplay, Total Rock as well as Germany's Legacy, Metal Hammer, Metal Heart, America's Metal Maniacs and Canada's Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles. The premiere also attracted the attention of metal notables - Dimmu Borgir's Nicolas Barker, Cathedral's Lee Dorian, Napalm Death's Shane Embry and Cradle of Filth's Adrian Erlandsson. "Aeon", set for worldwide release in early September, is starting to catch early fan and media attention as expectations for the album are already high. Recorded at Akkerhaugen Lydstudioin in Norway and mixed at Studio Fredman with Fredrik Nordstrom in Sweden, "Aeon" shows extensive growth for the band. Guitarist Samoth says, "the new line-up works perfectly and this time we were a lot more prepared as a band before entering the studio. The album has a lot more depth to it. Both the production and the song structures are, in general, heavier and I feel we've managed to create a stronger variation in the songs as well. 'Aeon' is definitely a step up from 'World ov Worms'." Founded in 1998, it was evident from the start that ZYKLON was to be more than just a "side-project" for EMPEROR guitarist Samoth and drummer Trym. Teaming with Destructhor (guitar, also of Myrkskog), the trio's early rehearsals ignited a spark that would put them on the fast track. The band's debut, "World ov Worms", was released in 2001 to instant media and fan acclaim. Featuring guest appeances from members of LIMBONIC ART and ARCTURUS, the album found itself upon many magazine and critic "Best of Year" lists. Album-art for "Aeon" has been created by long-time friend and accomplished artist Stephen O'Malley (Emperor, Burzum, Darkthrone). The album features guest contributions from VOID's Ocd and RED HARVEST's Ofu Kahn (both courtesy of Nocturnal Art Productions). The album again features lyrics penned by Faust (Emperor). It is the first album to feature new vocalist/bassist Secthdamon. Final track listings for "Aeon" include: Psyklon Aeon, Core Solution, Subtle Manipulation, Two Thousand Years, No Name Above the Names, The Prophetic Method, Speciment Eruption, Electric Current, An Eclectic Manner.

FROM EINHERJER -- Finally... the news you all have been waiting for: EINHERJER has signed with the new Norwegian label Tabu Recordings. This is what Tabu Recordings says about the signing of Einherjer: "Tuba Records' metal label, TABU Recordings, are proud to present our new world wide signing: EINHERJER! It's with great pride we announce that the makers of classics like Aurora Borealis, Dragons of the North, Far Far North, Odin Owns Ye All & Norwegian Native Art are back with a new album. Einherjer has just signed with Tabu Recordings, and the new (as yet untitled) album are scheduled for release in September. It's safe to say that the already-cult-band Einherjer will reclaim their position at the top of the Viking Metal throne with the new album. Never before has the band shown such skill, rage and originality. The band manage to summon Ragnarok with these 13 anthems of true musical art. Einherjer will grant you an experience not easily forgotten. Einherjer will grant you the art of Viking Metal...

KALMAH news -- If you are a fan of aggressive Swedish thrash then brace yourself, because you are about to experience the new wave of melodic metal insanity. This Finnish quintet somehow manages to create the perfect mixture of thrash and melody to surpass their influences. This nine-track blast of speed will have fans of Children of Bodom and In Flames going wild and they have no choice but to break out of the underground scene with this stellar album. From the blazing dual guitars and dazzling keyboards to the massive harmonies alongside a pummeling bass and drum assault this record will leave thrash fans foaming at the mouth. The group have built up a strong European presence with their previous releases albums on Spikefarm Records. Now they have returned with "Swampsong", their third and most aggressive release that is sure to help them gain recognition worldwide!

- - - - -

HATESPHERE news -- The blistering new offering from the Danish thrash quintet will quickly get your blood burning, as this album is not for the weak. After a very successful European tour in April with The Haunted and Mastadon they were so inspired that they immediately started the writing process for their next record. "Bloodred Hatred", their second full-length album, is licensed from Scarlet Records and this is the first time the group will be officially exposed to USA audiences. The record is now available and this is the new wave of unrelenting thrash metal and hopefully you are prepared for the punishment coming your way-- experience the hatred for yourself!

LEGENDARY BAND REPULSION TO REUNITE; CLASSIC ALBUM 'HORRIFIED' REISSUED -- Death metal / grindcore innovators REPULSION have re-united nearly fifteen years after the release of their beyond-classic album "Horrified". REPULSION [Scott Carlson (vocals / bass), Aaron Freeman (guitar), Matt Olivo (guitar) and Dave Grave (drums)] have announced plans to perform live -- for the first time in over 10 years -- as one of the headlining acts at the 2003 Milwaukee Metalfest, in Milwaukee Wisconsin. In addition, REPULSION's "Horrified" album has been reissued in a deluxe DOUBLE-CD format. Originally released in Europe during 1989 by members of CARCASS on their Necrosis Records label, "Horrified" is a genre-pioneering masterpiece that has influenced almost every band playing Death Metal, most notably NAPALM DEATH, CARCASS, ENTOMBED, CANNIBAL CORPSE etc. The re-issued and remastered "Horrified" includes the band's classic LP, the Excruciation 7", and the elusive REPULSION demos, plus a bonus disc replete with extremely rare demo material and a live radio broadcast from GENOCIDE (pre-REPULSION, pre-1987). The recently re-issued "Horrified" received an unprecedented 11/10 (!) rating in Terrorizer Magazine -- the first such score in the history of the publication -- with the noted metal tome calling the band "Visionaries, legends, pioneers" and "the yardstick by which all other grind bands are measured." To this day "Horrified" still stands as one of the fastest and heaviest records ever unleashed on the world, setting the bar for all extreme metal acts that followed. Guitarist Matt Olivo commented "It has been nothing short of an honor for us to be receiving such overwhelming recognition after all these years. I'm personally looking forward to kicking ass at the Milwaukee Metalfest and beyond."
