"By the end of 2011 we'll have played around 180 shows in support of Tales from the Grave in Space - can you believe that?  We tried to stop touring ages ago, but great offers just kept rolling in from people who wanted to see us!  It's been great fun - but now we're putting the brakes on to make a new album.  Before we go we'll be doing one more turn around Europe, including shows in a lot of places we've never visited before.  We'll be back some time next year, but we don't know when - so get your ass out and come to see us before we disappear up our own arses."

Backfire! had a blast @ the Sucks and Summer last August. So yeah, what was already poppin' up in their minds became a fact: 2012 will not only bring a new Backfire! record, they also will play shows again. Not every weekend as before 2009, but for sure some cool shows comin' with them. The Band's statement:
3 years after our goodbye show, Backfire feels the need of injecting one more blast of energy into the scene. It’s not a comeback, but an encore for the people who stayed true to what we have built over the years. We did a handful of special appearance shows after we split up, but we still feel the need to express our frustration, energy and aggression by unleashing our brand of untamed Hardcore on the world once more. This urge we can no longer repress any longer and will explode onto the scene through our new album, aptly titled "My Broken World". We will be doing shows next year to bring these new anthems to our fans, with the dedication that we always had in the past and still have. The time is now and the time is right, so prepare yourself as we are about to bring back the true energy of what we think Hardcore is all about. We hope you will be ready to do the same!!! "My Broken World" will be unleashed in March 2012 and on top of the release of a new Backfire classic, we're also working on the DVD as well, so expect more news on that soon too! We hope to see you at one of our shows somewhere in Europe in the near future! Until then, Stay Dedicated!

As of now you can buy your Punk & Disorderly tickets at the Ragewear Onlineshop! You might find some other cool merch, too! Check it out!

Says Vocalist Lou Koller, "What better way to kick it off than with the new, rawer, heavier version of 'Built To Last'? Hope you like it. Let the trash talking begin!"

THE METEORS Live DVD "Pure Evil Live" out on October 31st! P. Paul Fenech must be the man that never sleeps, surely there can be no other explanation to how he found time to complete the 'Pure Evil Live' DVD so soon after finishing his highly acclaimed solo album "International Superbastard".

Besides the standard edition People Like You are also offering a limited edition version with THE METEORS maniacs and collectors in mind. The 'Deluxe Figurine Box Set' contains a 19 cm P.

Century Media Records have renewed their deal with British grindcore legend NAPALM DEATH who has wrapped up the recordings of its yet untitled 14 th studio album earlier this year at Parlour Studio in Kettering, UK with longtime producer Russ Russell.

Jens Prüter, Head of A&R / Century Media Records Europe states:
“NAPALM DEATH is not only one of the most important and influential extreme metal bands, they are also a band that always raises their voice against social ills – and even against record companies (remember “Enemy Of Music Business”). Therefore I’m even more glad about NAPALM DEATH re-signing to Century Media for more great albums of intelligent and meaningful noise. And have you ever seen a weak NAPALM DEATH show? I haven’t, and I have seen them MANY times and will never get tired to see them again and again. Thanks to Mitch, Danny, Shane and Barney for their resilience and resistance – and a special thanks to Marc from MAD for fighting on their side.”

NAPALM DEATH vocalist Mark 'Barney' Greenway comments:
"We're very happy to be re-signing to Century Media. In fact, I think it's the first time we've actually re-signed on a longer term deal with anybody since the days when we didn't strictly know that we could be digging ourselves a big hole with labels...
It's important for Napalm to stay with an independent and Century proved to us with their overall enthusiasm and attention that this is where we needed to be. There's a perfect balance of getting the band out there in people's faces whilst still understanding the point that not everything is acceptable or 'ethical' promotion. It's more like working with friends who actually care, and who could argue with that?"

Renowned as one of the most reliable and hardest working bands in extreme music, NAPALM DEATH are currently on the road all across Russia, will head over to Canada in October and already confirmed appearances at the 2012 editions of Wacken (D), Neurotic Deathfest (NL) and Maryland Deathfest (USA).

Sham 69 has been disbanded by Dave Parsons. (original and founding member of Sham 69).
After the news in 2006 that Jimmy Pursey and Dave parsons were to go their sepperate ways, with Dave installing a new line up of Sham 69 to fullfil his need to tour the Sham songs worldwide, He has finally disbanded Sham 69.
Upon returning from holiday in Cuba Dave found his name had been removed from the list of band members on the Sham 69 facebook site and that the other members, Timothy Vance, Ian Whitewood and Al Campbell have been rehearsing in a replacement Guitarist, without Dave’s permission or knowledge.
Dave has said ‘The band  will therefore presumably be continuing as a TRIBUTE BAND.
If the band use a different name so as not to con the audience, he wishes them all the best with their new venture’. (He is also prepared to play out any previously booked gigs for the sake of fans who have bought tickets and to honour any contracts).
Dave has not ruled out the possibility of playing the odd gig as SHAM 69 with any of the old members of Sham 69 previous to this last line up.
He would also like to thank all the people all over the world who came out to see the band and showed their support over the last four years.

British crossover thrashers SSS have revealed that NAPALM DEATH frontman BARNEY GREENWAY will appear as a guest vocalist on the band's forthcoming new album, titled PROBLEMS TO THE ANSWER. SSS frontman FOXY comments: "Barney was on a shortlist of one - it was him or no one.  Knew he'd be into the direction of our latest musical outing and the stance the songs take were right up his street.  Some serious barking was required and his dulcet tones didn't disappoint."

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB have just finished a UK headlining tour, and are now preparing to head across the Atlantic to Mexico for what will be the band's first ever shows in Latin America. Wow!

LOCK UP's upcoming release, "Necropolis Transparent", will feature several guest appearances! It will be released in Europe on July 1 2011. Commented bassist Shane Embury: "I always wanted Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY/PAIN) on the third album since he was on the first record "Lock Up" we did. It made sense from a weird trilogy aspect to get him on the record. His tones compliment Tomas perfectly as well. I would have loved to have had Peter sing on more of the songs, but time was short as Peter was heavily involved with his new PAIN record. The songs he did sing on though made them extra special. As for Jeff Walker (CARCASS/BRUJERIA), well me and Jeff go so far back it's unreal. We were mixing the album at Andy Sneap's and I wanted an extra vocal texture on a few tracks to spice it up. My voice is more hardcore and I wanted some extra gravel on things. It all seemed to make sense to Jeff once I had bribed him with a 12 pack of his favorite beer (laughs)!"

US hardcore band TRAPPED UNDER ICE signed a new deal for Europe with I Scream Records and Reaper Records. The new longplayer is coming out at the end of this year. Recording for "Big Kiss Goodnight" starts in June.

Cheers to everyone helping us out, sharing the stage with us – you’re too many to mention! Special thanks to the local promoters and staff for keeping us happy, you guys made it all happen and kept the swiss tits happy. And last but not least, all the peeps coming out to see us play, mosh it up, screaming and shouting and making the shows worth the effort! We’ve been to Germany, Greece, Belgium, Switzerland and almost a whole week in Czech Republic, we got to meet tons of cool people, also got to see some nice spots on our trips – like our train trip from Athens to Thessaloniki, Sightseeing in Plzen, Berlin (ok shopping involved too, cheers Core Tex and Videodrome!) and Kutna Hora and more. We sure hope we will be back soon, it’s been two weeks we will carry on our hearts forever! If you have videos or photos from the show, let us now or share it with everyone on our Facebook! Next weekend it’s Munich, so come out and shake a leg, we’re ready!"

The Sheer Terror 7", featuring two new songs titled " Heresy on the Monkey Bar" and " Blue Shadows Will Fall", along with a cover song scheduled to be out in July.

EARTH CRISIS is the most controversial band in hardcore. Their music has become the soundtrack to a movement of kids searching for an alternative lifestyle and has landed the band on the covers of magazines and even on national news networks to talk about their music and motives. Without a doubt, EARTH CRISIS is one of the most influential bands in the scene and they have now completed work on their latest effort - their 7th overall - which will be titled 'Neutralize the Threat' and is scheduled for release on July 12th via Century Media Records.
EARTH CRISIS had the following to say:
"We are very happy with how 'Neutralize The Threat' came out. Musically, it resembles the song structures on 'To The Death', but with a 'Gomorah's Season Ends' vibe thrown in. Every song is lyrically inspired by real-life vigilante actions that have taken place around the globe. The topics range from The Black Panther Party to Bernard Goetz and we think it's an original lyrical concept for the band, while also retaining some subject matter we are known for dealing with in the past. Zeuss is the man and definitely delivered the best sounding record we have ever had! We can't wait for you guys to hear it!"
Plans are in the works for EARTH CRISIS to hit the road in support of 'Neutralize the Threat' so stay tuned for more info.
