About the band:

Tampa, FL area natives THE ABSENCE laid waste to an unsuspecting metal community with their debut Metal Blade Records album, From Your Grave, and after nearly two years of touring the guys returned in 2007 with their fan and critic acclaimed release Riders of the Plague. Riders of the Plague was recorded at Erik Rutan’s Mana Studios in February / March 2007 with Swedish producer Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge). THE ABSENCE has returned to the metal scene heavier than ever with their third full-length album, Enemy Unbound; a metal masterpiece full of the band’s brand of high flying guitar histrionics and melodies fans and critics alike have grown to love.

Vocalist Jamie Stewart continues to push himself vocally, spewing forth his grim lyrics with more force and violence than ever before. Guitarists Peter Joseph and Patrick Pintavalle deliver blistering solos, harmony-filled leads, and a level of technicality that is off the charts, growing as musicians with every album they deliver. Original drummer, and one of the founding members of THE ABSENCE, Jeramie Kling is back behind the kit and will be joining the band on the road as they tour in support of Enemy Unbound. Jeramie will undoubtedly continue where he left off, acting as the tight backbone needed to hold together the band’s speedy melodic onslaught. With their latest offering, Enemy Unbound, THE ABSENCE deliver a stylish and flavored melodic death/thrash metal album that is sure to please both fans and critics alike.

Enemy Unbound was once again recorded at the famed, Erik Rutan-owned, Mana Studios in St. Petersburg, FL in November 2009 with Brian Elliott engineering and Peter Joseph and Patrick Pintavalle producing the album. Going along with the saying ‘if it’s not broke, don’t fix it,’ the band went to Sweden’s Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge) of Black Lounge Studios who handled both mixing and mastering on Enemy Unbound. Guest musicians on the album include Tom Englund of Evergrey and Andy Wood.

The Absence have toured with the likes Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Vital Remains, Goatwhore, The Red Chord, Vader, Kataklysm, Grave, Nuclear Assault, Destruction, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Entombed, Dismember, Vivisect, Unmerciful, Dead to Fall, and Ion Dissonance just to name a few. Each stop on every tour has earned THE ABSENCE legions of new fans, which is something that will surely continue through the release of Enemy Unbound as the band tours through the states, Canada, and Europe in support of their highly anticipated release.

The Absence is:

Jamie Stewart – vocals

Peter Joseph – guitar

Patrick Pintavalle – guitar

Jeramie Kling – drums

Mike Leon – bass

INFERNAEON Premiere New Track, Unveil Cover Art and Launch Pre-Order

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:20:26 +0000

Floridian extreme metallers, INFERNAEON, have premiered the first track from their upcoming album, “Genesis To Nemesis,” due August 31st. The track is called “Ziasudra,” and tells the story of the Sumerian king of the same name, from which the story of Noah is derived. It can be heard now at the band’s newly redesigned MYSPACE PAGE which also features the new album’s cover art done by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco. PROSTHETIC RECORDS has launched the pre-order for the album at their OFFICIAL WEB STORE. Front man Brian Werner commented on the cover:

“My boy Marcelo Vasco, from Brazil, is hands down the most amazing artist out there right now. He’s worked with everyone from Obituary to Vader to Belphegore, and just when I think I’ve seen the best work out of him, he does something new and I’m blown away all over again. I was anxious to see what he was going to do for us for this album and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw this. It was literally everything we had wanted from an album cover since we started writing the album”

“Genesis To Nemesis,” was recorded with producer Brian Elliott at Mana Recording Studios (Goatwhore, Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal) in St. Petersburg, Florida, and picks up where 2007’s “A Symphony of Suffering,” (which Metal Hammer described as, “brave, unflinchingly inventive and jackhammer-heavy from beginning to end,”) left off, with a devastating mix of Floridian death metal and symphonic, sinister European black metal. The album features guest appearances by GWAR’s front man, Oderus Urungus, Erik Rutan, John Zahner of Savatage (who served as keyboard engineer) and Bill Hudson and John Slaughter of Coldera.

WHITE WIZZARD: First-Ever U.K. Headlining Tour Announced

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:17:22 +0000

Los Angeles traditional heavy metal band WHITE WIZZARD has announced a headlining tour of the U.K. in November.

Following its recent appearance at the Download festival in the U.K., where the band kicked off the Sunday on the Ronnie James Dio stage in front of thousands of fans, WHITE WIZZARD is set to return for its first-ever headlining U.K. tour. Suppor on the trek will come from PRIMITAI.

Commented WHITE WIZZARD bassist and founding member Jon Leon: “We are really excited to come back and do our first headline tour in the U.K. and Ireland. We’re excited to visit all the great places we played with edguy and to see the fans again, and to play some new places as well. Look forward to seeing you all there!”

Catch WHITE WIZZARD live in the U.K. at the following shows:

Nov. 05 – Wolverhampton, UK – Slade Rooms
Nov. 06 – Dublin, Ireland – Academy 2
Nov. 07 – Belfast, UK – Auntie Annie’s Porterhouse
Nov. 08 – Glasgow, UK – Cathouse
Nov. 10 – Sheffield, UK – The Corporation
Nov. 11 – Manchester, UK – Satan’s Hollow
Nov. 12 – Milton Keynes, UK – Sno Bar
Nov. 13 – Nottingham, UK – Rock City
Nov. 14 – London, UK – The Underworld

WHITE WIZZARD recently revealed its new lineup. Joining founding member Jon Leon, guitarist Chad Bryan and drummer Giovanni Durst are newly recruited singer and former CELLADOR frontman Michael Gremio, along with new lead guitarist and Welsh native Lewis Stephens.

Wyatt Anderson and Erik Kluiber left the group after the band’s U.K. tour with EDGUY to pursue different paths.

A photo of the new lineup can be viewed below (left to right in photo: Giovanni Durst, Jon Leon, Michael Gremio, Chad Bryan, Lewis Stephens).

“Over The Top”, WHITE WIZZARD‘s full-length follow-up to the “High Speed GTO” mini-album, was released on February 8 in Europe and March 9 in the U.S. via Earache Records. The CD was recorded with producer Ralph Patlan (MEGADETH, UFO, MICHAEL SCHENKER) and contains “10 songs that will rip your head off,” according to bassist Jon Leon. The limited-edition CD version includes two bonus tracks of classic metal covers.

WHITE WIZZARD formed in 2007 and shortly afterwards recorded its “High Speed GTO” demo, which only made it into the hands of a few select fans. Following a brief period of inactivity, the demo fell into the hands of Earache Records and the “High Speed GTO” song was included on “Heavy Metal Killers”, a compilation featuring 13 tracks from the best new traditional-sounding heavy metal bands. Earache Records released the “High Speed GTO” tracks as a mini-album last summer.

THE AUTUMN OFFERING: New Album Teaser Available

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:11:19 +0000

A seven-minute trailer/teaser for THE AUTUMN OFFERING‘s new, self-titled album can be viewed below. Due on August 31 via Victory Records, the new CD is “the band’s most crushing release to date” and is “chock-full of blast beats and twin guitar wizardry” while “vocalist Matt McChesney sounds as if he is being burned at the stake,” according to a press release.

A song from the album, “Born Dead”, is available for streaming on THE AUTUMN OFFERING‘s MySpace page. The group just finished shooting a video for the track in Chicago with director Eric Richter.

McChesney and drummer Brian Sculley met while both were in the New England grind band CADAVERYNE. Tommy Church did his time in the death metal outfit END OF ALL, which later went on to become KILL WHITNEY DEAD. Newcomers Jesse Nunn and Carl Bensley both served in Los Angeles bands SCUM OF THE EARTH and SILENT CIVILIAN.

Commented McChesney: “I always thought we were unfairly lumped in with the ‘metalcore’ bands. I always thought we did much more musically and were a bit more sophisticated than your typical good-cop/bad-cop band. It takes balls to admit this, but yeah, we wrote a few songs that were mistakes. We made a push, half heartedly, for the mainstream. Yet I feel like a few bad choices don’t taint two albums that I love dearly.

“There were a million reasons to make a record like this. Also, sensing the death of that genre of metal, it made no sense to make a record that resembled it. I think we came out of it all, integrity intact.”

“The Autumn Offering” track listing:

01. Synapse
02. Born Dead
03. Exhale The Locusts
04. Fed To The Lions
05. Hessian Blade
06. Death Mask
07. Viral
08. Among Wolves
09. Bloodlust
10. Myriad Black
11. A Return To Ashes

The band will hit the road late summer/early fall with KITTIE, SILENT CIVILIAN and DESTROPHY as part of the “Haunting The Masses Tour”.

THE AUTUMN OFFERING‘s last album, “Requiem”, came out in June 2009 via Victory Records. The CD was recorded at AudioHammer Studios in Sanford, Florida.
