~ MARDUK Drummer Was Protecting Friend When Attacked With Baseball Bat ~
Swedish black/death metallers THE LEGION, featuring current MARDUK drummer Emil Dragutinovic, have issued the following statement regarding the incident over the weekend that resulted in Emil suffering a broken arm and unable to embark on MARDUK's previously announced European tour:

"On Saturday night [February] 12th, our drummer Emil and a close friend to the band was attacked by a group of five immigrants. Emil was trying to protect this friend of ours when a dude with a baseball bat suddenly attacked him. When trying to defend himself from the severe beating he broke his left arm. Emil's friend got seriously maltreated and is now hospitalised. Emil is now in plaster and he's unable to play the drums for some months. This means that the upcoming tour with MARDUK (Emil's other band) gets postponed and the recording of our new album gets delayed for a while too. This really sucks since we've had the new material ready for some time now and we where just waiting for Emil to be done with the tour."

THE LEGION's debut album, "Unseen To Creation", was released in October 2003 through France's Listenable Records. The CD, which was recorded at Abyss Studios with producer Tommy Tägtgren, features "ten songs of complex and eclectic black/death metal, ranging in style from MORBID ANGEL to SETHERIAL". The cover art was done by Kris Verwimp, who has previously worked with MARDUK, ABSU, SATHANAS, and IMMORTAL, among others.

~ BORKNAGAR To Record Acoustic Album ~
BORKNAGAR mainman Oystein G. Brun has issued the following statement regarding the group's current status:

"Dear fans and associates,
'Having created epic metal for several years now, an idea and a vision has arisen within the BORKNAGAR camp, and we hereby want to inform you about how it will affect our forthcoming release: The next BORKNAGAR album will be an acoustic effort based entirely on the epic and progressive aspect of the band. The recording will commence this very spring, most likely in late May, at Toproom Studio in Norway as we are planning an autumn release.

"This is something we have wanted to do for many years now, and the idea has lingered within the band ever since the recording of 'Quintessence' and a few private sessions with a grand piano and an acoustic guitar. The album will be acoustic-based but largely arranged with a wide range of instruments and vocal styles. It will be recorded by the same line-up that did 'Epic', and we will be working with different locations during the recording process in order to catch the sounds of different acoustic environments. Musically the album will be rather dissimilar from what we have done before, though the unique BORKNAGAR sound will surly shine through.

"This is not a permanent change of the band's musical style, but rather a musical quest and a challenge for us as well as for our audience! The title of the album will be released soon."

~ VADER Nominated For Poland's FRYDERYK Award ~
VADER's latest CD, "The Beast", has been nominated in the "Best Metal Album" category at the Fryderyk awards, which is one of the most prestigious music award shows in Poland.

In other news, VADER have achieved the following results in Polish Metal Hammer's annual readers' poll:

The CD will be produced by the Wieslawscy brothers and will contain "three extremely intense and fast cuts and one song in the vein of the band's typical style," according to a posting on the group's web site. "The Art of War" will also contain a special bonus video clip for the title track. "It's going to be something really new, unconventional and powerful, expect the unexpectable (the production itself has taken almost 5 months)!" reads a posting on the band's web site.

~ CHILDREN OF BODOM Guitarist Says New Album Won't Be 'Hate Crew Deathroll Part II' ~
According to the CHILDREN OF BODOM fan site Scythes-Of-Bodom.com, CHILDREN OF BODOM guitarist Alexi Laiho revealed in a recent interview some information about the progress of the songwriting sessions for their upcoming album. Despite his broken arm (which is said to have occurred when he fell from top of a car while intoxicated), he was able to compose some material during the past few weeks. He didn't want to reveal what the new stuff will be like, but he said that it wouldn't be a "Hate Crew Deathroll Part II" and would rather represent something new and fresh without sacrificing the elements that made CHILDREN OF BODOM unique (including keyboards and guitar solos). For the first time ever, Alexi has written lyrics for two songs before even composing the music for the tracks.

As previously reported, the album will be recorded in April-May in a studio in Helsinki with Mikko Karmila recording and mixing the album. However, the producer for the album hasn't been decided yet. The plan is for the group to include the title track of their recent EP, "Trashed, Lost & Strungout", on the new album, albeit possibly in a re-recorded form, since the original version was recorded at Astia Studio, which won't be the case with the rest of the album. (It wouldn't be the first time the band have done this, since "Hate Me!" was also recorded during both the single session in Astia and the "Follow the Reaper" session at Abyss studios.)

CHILDREN OF BODOM have been nominated for an award at the Finnish annual music award ceremony Femmagaala for "Mättöfemma", an award given out to a successful metal band. The other nominees are AJATTARA, DIABLO, MOKOMA and ROTTEN SOUND. Last year, CHILDREN OF BODOM won the "Export Award" at the Femmagaala in recognition of their worldwide success.

The Femmagaala 2005 ceremony will be held on February 25 at Helsinki's Nosturi.

In other news, Laiho has once again won the award for the best Finnish musician of the year by the Finnish music magazine Soundi, ahead of such other renowned musicians as Tuomas Holopainen from NIGHTWISH.

~ Doom Legends DREAM DEATH To Release Collection Of Rare Demos ~
Pittsburgh, PA's DREAM DEATH, who gained popularity among the metal underground in the Eighties, have returned to release "Back from the Dead" on Psychodoomelic Records. "Back from the Dead", compiled and produced by Mike Smail (currently in PENANCE, INTERNAL VOID and PENTAGRAM) is the official release of the three DREAM DEATH demos recorded in the mid-to-late Eighties.

The new release is 80 minutes long and includes a 20-page booklet featuring never-seen-before photos and show flyers. DREAM DEATH's popularity in the Eighties underground metal scene was recognized by many because of the unique ways they evolved traditional doom metal into their signature doom/death metal sound, which for critics and fans alike was a missing link at the time.

The band had one release, 1987's "Journey into Mystery", on New Renaissance Records, which is considered an underground classic. Shortly after the release of "Journey into Mystery", Ted Williams (bass) left DREAM DEATH to join crossover metal band EVICTION, who were later signed to Metal Blade Records. When EVICTION called it quits, Williams and EVICTION guitarist Rob Tabachka formed the garage punk band PILSNER, which lasted until 1996. After Williams' departure from DREAM DEATH, Mike Smail (drums), Terry Weston (guitar), and Brian Lawrence (guitar and vocals) reformed with a slightly modified line-up under the name PENANCE. Lawrence left PENANCE after two releases, but PENANCE continues today with Smail as the only remaining original member. In addition to PENANCE, Smail has also lent his drumming skills to CATHEDRAL, SILVER TONGUED DEVIL, INTERNAL VOID, and the legendary PENTAGRAM.

With the release of the "Back from the Dead", the original four members of DREAM DEATH have ignited an uncontrollable spark and are currently working on new material, as well as reworking some older songs to be released later in 2005.

~ TRISTANIA Keyboardist To Assume New Role ~
TRISTANIA keyboardist/programmer Einar Moen has "decided to assume a new role with the band," according to a posting on the group's web site. "He will not be accompanying them on tour - but fear not - he is still an active member and will use this period to work on new material. Many factors influence this decision - and he will re-evaluate whether to return to touring at a later date."

As previously reported, TRISTANIA have finished filming a video for the track "Equilibrium". Director Ralf Strathmann was flown in from Los Angeles to work on this project, which was completed in the old Tou Brewery in Stavanger, Norway.

TRISTANIA will support NIGHTWISH on a 10-date run through the U.K., Belgium and Germany beginning in mid-February. A South American tour with DARK TRANQUILLITY and KREATOR will follow in March. TRISTANIA's new album, "Ashes", was release last month through SPV Records

~ MOTÖRHEAD And CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Officially Announce Joint U.S. Tour ~
The immortal MOTÖRHEAD and mighty CORROSION OF CONFORMITY will hit the road for a North American tour in spring 2005.

MOTÖRHEAD - celebrating its 30th anniversary this year with a third career Grammy Award nomination - makes a triumphant return to these shores after a 2004 fall tour was canceled due to an injury suffered by vocalist/bassist Lemmy. At last, Lemmy, guitarist Philip Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee are able to perform on this continent to promote their Metal-Is/Sanctuary Records release "Inferno". This remarkable album earned mountains of overwhelmingly positive reviews. In fact, the Associated Press called "Inferno" the best MOTÖRHEAD album ever.

"CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are a fine band as everybody knows. Also, they must be one of the few bands who have been going as long as MOTÖRHEAD! Still, we'll give them a run for their money!" says Lemmy. "Glad to have those boys along."

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY, also known as COC, will give audiences a tantalizing taste of the blistering new Sanctuary Records album, "In The Arms of God", which is scheduled for release on April 5, 2005. Vocalist/guitarist Pepper Keenan, guitarist Woody Weatherman, bass guitarist Mike Dean and special guest drummer Stanton Moore (best known as a member of GALACTIC) have recorded an album of visceral power that's a worthy follow-up to 2000's "America's Volume Dealer". Scheduling conflicts will prevent Moore from touring with the band. Jason Patterson (CRY OF LOVE) will serve as COC's touring drummer.

"Lemmy and MOTÖRHEAD are to heavy metal and our roots what Johnny Cash is to country," says Keenan. "It's an honor and a privilege to deliver volume on the same stage...now up the fuckin' hammers! Not to mention we've got the baddest skulls in heavy metal!"

MOTÖRHEAD will also be performing at World Wrestling Entertainment's WrestleMania 21 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA, on Sunday, April 3.

~ CLUTCH Concert Stage Diver Convicted Of Lesser Counts ~
The Associated Press is reporting that a man who dived off the stage at a CLUTCH concert, injuring two women in the crowd, was found guilty of reduced charges Wednesday (Feb. 9) and put on probation for one year.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Fuerst convicted Joseph Seink, 34, of suburban Solon, on two misdemeanor counts of reckless assault. Seink, who agreed to a non-jury trial, could have faced eight years in prison if convicted on two counts of felonious assault.

Seink's attorney, Walter Camino, said he didn't think an appeal would be filed. "We're satisfied with the verdict," he said.

Authorities say two 28-year-old Cleveland women each suffered a cracked neck vertebra but no serious spinal damage when the 195-pound Seink landed on them last June 4 at the Scene Pavilion. Seink said he sneaked backstage to see the band CLUTCH and celebrated by jumping into the crowd when his favorite song began.

Witnesses testified that heavy metal shows are characterized by violent slam dancing with fans occasionally diving off the stage, expecting the crowd to catch them. The injured women, Catherine Tressa and Tammie Myers, both have said they didn't expect someone would jump off the stage during the concert

~ HYPOCRISY: New Album Due In September ~
HYPOCRISY bassist Mikael Hedlund has posed the following message on the group's official web site:

"Here's a little update from us for everybody who's been wondering what's been going on in the HYPOCRISY studio.

"Currently we are taking a break from the recording process since Peter Tägtgren is doing shows with PAIN. We will continue again next week.

"As for the album itself, we have no title yet but we can tell you that we are very satisfied with the results so far. There will be ten songs on the album in total, five of which still need vocals added to them. The plan is to finish the recordings before our U.S. tour in April with SOILWORK, MNEMIC and DARK TRANQUILLITY. The new album will most likely be released in September.
