CATARACT

Swiss CATARACT will go on a hiatus in 2012. Read the full statement by the band:

"In the dark corners of Zurich, rumour is rife that CATARACT will be playing their last show this December, last show? Ever? I mean, ever ever? Of course not. The Swiss powerhouse of metal, loud, hard and merciless, doesn't even think about turning around and moving on to a normal life. There's too much truth to be said, too many stages that need to be rocked and too many pits that need to mosh! The grain of truth in this rumour is that CATARACT will go into an extended hibernation, as lead singer Fedi is leaving for a long planned and desired world trip for the whole of 2012.
Plans not only include the rest of the boys kicking back and enjoying some time off themselves, but also writing new tracks to be recorded and released as soon as Fedi has returned in early 2013. The metal machinery will be working again and steamroll all over Europe!"
"However, before the activities are frozen and the guitars given some much owed time to rest, CATARACT are honoured to play their final show for 2011/2012 at the legendary Abart club, which is due to close its doors next year. They will be supported by Lucerne's Silent Slander and Zurich's Beyond The Vortex, along with some other guests. And if you know the band, there will also be a bunch of surprises for everyone to enjoy – for example free admission to Abart's Maximum Kick Party on the same night! So, get up, dress up and show up for a night of good times!"

Date: 16.12.2011
Bands: Cataract (ZH), Beyond The Vortex (ZH), Silent Slander (LU)
Doors: 19.00
Show: 19.30
Final Curtain: 22.15
From 23.00hrs – Maximum Kick Party (admission included)

CHANGE OR DIE TOUR

BORN FROM PAIN will play their annual CHANGE OR DIE TOUR in the end of the year together with their friends of AYS and THE PLATOON in cooperation with the HARDCORE HELP FOUNDATION.
BORN FROM PAIN and HHF will work together on this tour to collect food and clothing donations which will be benefited for the deserving poor. Both believe in solidarity and a helping hand for those in the society who had been left behind through this kind of system. At the shows all collected edibles will be given to the organizations for free food distribution for people in need in the specific cities. The clothing donations will be given to the organizations which will hand out the clothes directly and for free to the poor.
Between the gigs of the different bands a few presentations of organizations, which campaign for changes and a better future, will be delivered.
Clothing donations do not have to be band merchandise – everything which is in good condition is welcome: Jackets, trousers, sweater, etc. – the HARDCORE HELP FOUNDATION will collect everything at their stall.
Edibles as Coffee, tinned food (vegetables,  fruits, soups), pasta, rice and also pet food can be donated.
Please donate no fresh fruits and vegetables which go off pretty fast. Also no milk products or else which have to be cooled down.
Money donations are possible too – they will be collected at the BORN FROM PAIN merchandise stall.
BORN FROM PAIN will voluntarily duplicate the amount of the collected money donations by themselves. Also they will donate 10 % of each sold merchandise article.
So the tour will contain good music but also pretty more.
Come to see the shows and to support this initiative.

08TH NOVEMBER | 01:40PM
NAPALM DEATH
Leaders of the extreme, genre founders and one of the hardest working/touring bands out there, legendary NAPALM DEATH, are currently giving the final touch to their 14th studio album (excluding the cover album “Leaders Not Followers). The new piece of brutality is named “Utilitarian” and hits stores on February 27th (USA February 28th) 2012, via the bands long time partner Century Media Records. The cover artwork perfectly fits the album theme and was done by the Danish artist Frode Sylthe, who also signed responsible for The Haunted`s amazing “Revolver” artwork.

Singer Mark “Barney” Greenway explains about the album title and concept:
"After some deliberation, we have decided on “Utilitarian” as the album title. We generally try to avoid generic titles, and this seemed to have a lot of scope to it. I won't explain the full meaning of Utilitarianism here because it's an ethical theory, and as ethical theories go, the depth and debate around it is quite heavy at times. It has a certain 'morality' aspect to it and that isn't something that drives me, so I also certainly have issues with it. So, rather than just nail that straight to the mast, of course we wanted to put our own spin on it by suggesting that those (i.e. the utilitarian in us, perhaps) who try to challenge everything, or fight against conventions, well, we go through periods of real self-doubt where we wonder if we're really making a difference. I suppose the conclusion is that, for the sake of all our freedoms, you should never stop, as even the feeling of resistance is at least a signal to those who would like to entirely control and dominate us – meaning everything from our instinctive behavior to our human entitlement to walk the earth unprovoked. Regarding the album overall, the final creases should be ironed out fairly soon, and immediately after that we thought it would be good to top it off with a few UK dates. We’ve been playing one new song (“Quarantined”) out on a tour of Canada and it’s been well received, so we hope to perhaps throw in another one for now. Either way, we’ll be bouncing off the walls again near you very soon. Cheers all.”

NAPALM DEATH
are already confirmed for the 2012 Wacken Open Air, Hellfest, Maryland Deathfest and many more. If you are an UK citizen, make sure to catch them on their year closing run in November/December and witness some of the new material live!

"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!

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!

Titled Nonstop, the twenty-song release will hit stores on November 1st via Century Media Records. But in the meantime, we're happy to premiere Sick Of It All's re-recorded version of "Built To Last", a song that appeared on the band's 1997 album of the same name.
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!"

NAPALM DEATH

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).

GAMA BOMB frontman PHILLY BYRNE comments:"We're about to enter a studio in central Dublin to work on demos for our new album, which we're hoping to release in early 2012.  In terms of songwriting, we're writing much 'tougher' or meaner songs now.  We want to make music that street gangs could listen to before a fight, songs you can sharpen a switchblade to.  I've been looking a lot to Phil Lynott for inspiration, which can never be a bad thing.  He's always been a big inspiration for us, even if you can't always hear it."

SHAM 69

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.

LOCK UP
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)!"

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.

EARTH CRISIS

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.
