The album is a 40-minute, continuous opus. Alan Douches (Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge) will be mastering the album at West West Side Studios. A January '05 release date is expected. We are looking to hit the road in the coming months in support of the release.” http://www.losa.nu THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Update from Trevor: “The tour with Goatwhore is long past, we shed a solitary tear, but look with excitement toward the Unearth tour. The posse has been hard at work on new songs... we're practicing roughly 20 hours a week. If you could see the magic that young Zach is laying down for these new songs; it would cause quite a stir in your sweatpants. Two of said songs should be making their debut on the next tour if all goes well. Until then, stay metal and listen to Golem. Love, Trevor.” *picture courtesy of Rev Aaron & ReturnToThePit.com http://www.theblackdahliamurder.com WINTER SOLSTICE Update from Duke: “Things have been going great for us the past couple of weeks. We've been getting ready to head into the studio to record our debut full length, The Fall of Rome. Material is just about all wrapped up for it, and it is easily our best songwriting to date. We just added some shows near home, so if you live in Virginia, North Carolina, or Maryland be sure to check us out at these shows: 8/30- Fredericksburg, VA- w/ Martyr AD and Dead To Fall 9/03- Norfolk, VA 9/10- Lynchburg, VA There are more dates coming so be sure to check back on the Metal Blade site often. Look for some tour announcements from us by mid-November, we look forward to hitting the road again soon.” http://www.wintersolstice.net/ UNEARTH Tour report form Trevor: “We can't thank people enough for making the entire summer kick ass so far. The shows have been amazing, the bands have all fucking ruled and there has been plenty of dice rolling, golf cart mishaps and classic metal barbeque parties. We have under two weeks left on Ozzfest and we will soon be gearing up for our full US headlining tour starting September 23rd with Terror, The Black Dahlia Murder and Remembering Never. Dates for that tour will be available this week. See you all on the road soon.” *Live photo by Mike Funderwhite http://www.unearth.tv CATARACT Update from the band: ”We're ranking in the top five of the SoundCheck for both Metal Hammer and Rock Hard (both from Germany), which is amazing! We're actually #3 in Rock Hard, that's unbelievable!! Plus, "Nothing's Left" is on the mag’s CD compilation, and the upcoming issue will have an interview with us. Aaaaaand… we added some more tour dates. See you all at this weekend's Tiglion Open Air and at the Summer Breeze Festival.

The bus has been seriously smashed but fortunately its occupants managed to escape unharmed. The band was forced to spend a few hours at local police station and due to that the gig in Falkenstein has been cancelled. We would like to apologize all the fans and organizers for the absence at the show. It really didn't depend on us! Now we are waiting for a new car because the police have kept the broken one and hope that everything will go smoothly. Hope to visit you in the near future!” Vader has posted some track sampling from their upcoming album “The Beast”. The mp3’s can be downloaded from the mp3 section of www.vader.pl.

We are starting to book more shows in the upcoming months. New places like St. Louis and Jefferson City, MO; also we will be at The Double Door in Chicago on Sept 17th. We have been writing a lot lately, weird considering our album came out on May 18th, but with 3 news songs we can't complain. We were finally released in Europe on Aug 23rd this is really exciting for us. Also, Brian and I hope to have a Kadigimonk album completed by Dec or so. Check out our new video for Get Behind Me on our site. See you all soon, I hope.” http://www.theheavils.com VEHEMENCE Update from the band: “The mini tour we just headlined went extremely well and we thank all the extremely talented bands that we played with for their support. The tour proved to us that we can now do our own headlining tours really at anytime. We now urge bands to contact our booking agency if they think they are suitable for touring or setting up various shows with Vehemence. Playing Mexico was a blast and wasn't really a culture shock, it was more like Hollywood meets Las Vegas in a way. The metal heads are hungry for extreme metal and it was our pleasure to perform for the audience. We will be back in Mexico soon, and thanks to the crew that took us down there. The Houston off date Ozzfest show with Superjoint Ritual went very well, around 600 people attended and Vehemence ended up earning the respect from all the bands on the bill and from comments we have heard backstage. Look forward to our tour with Crematorium, All Shall Perish, and Animosity in September on the west coast. Also look forward to seeing us on month full U.S. tours with Mortician, Akercocke in Sept/Oct and Vital Remains in Oct/Nov. Please check our tours and shows page for more updates! The Thoughts From Which I Hide has officially sold out, so we will not be taking any more orders for it. We urge you to download the album from wherever possible, we have mp3's featured on our website. Thanks to all those that purchased this album from when it was released till its extinction and we might be re-releasing it in the near future.” http://www.vehemence.com SYMPHORCE Update from Cede: “We would like to thank you again, all friends and fans, of the Himmel Open Air, which made a really unforgettable the day. It was simply great to have met so many of you. Simply HAMMER!! Thank you for the support. You will see us again!!!!! THANKS!! The festival in Komen (Slovenia) was cancelled!!! The promoter is trying to come up with another festival for the same date, our booker and he are in contact and try to get somethin' fixed. We'll see what happens... The festival in Raismes (France) will happen WITHOUT Symphorce, as there were some misunderstandings between booker and promoter, and since we're not able to play, the shows in Belgium and Paris, will not happen as well, as it seems now. Sad but true, but be sure we will kick your asses sooner or later, EVERY-FUCKING-WHERE! Thanks for your understanding and rock on!” http://www.symphorce.net Music Choice's Last Rites: VADER will be featured on the 8/30 episode of Music Choice's Last Rites- the only death, thrash & black metal show on television!

Updates are being made constantly so keep checking back! http://www.pariamusic.cjb.net/ PSYOPUS Update from Chris: "Well, the van we borrowed to go on tour with Ed Gein, FASSW, and Drowningman basically shit the bed to Mth degree on our trip to the first show. The bearings in the engine went completely. Our luck persists, while laughing at us. We are still setting up our September tour but... due to the fact we have been dicked around hard by the dealership, thus we do not have the "new" van we planned on having. Our Sept tour is still up in the air. We are getting by, but are in a world of shit. Crossing our fingers..." http://www.psyopus.com ED GEIN update from the band: We just finished up a little tour with Psyopus a little while ago. it was good times for sure. Those dudes fucking shred. Awesome musicians and good guys… the tour was killer. Thanks a lot to anyone who came out! There is a damn good chance that we will be rolling through your neck of the woods sometime this fall/winter. We are going to be touring our asses off. We will be out for four days with Drowningman, FASSW, and Psyopus next week hitting Columbus OH, Chicago IL, Milwaukee WI, and Port Huron MI. Then we will be out from 9/3 through 9/19 with one of our favorite bands, Anodyne and then picking up in mid-October with one of our other favorite bands, Lickgoldensky, for a month of cross country mayhem. We also have something in the works for mid-November through mid-December, and then its back to writing and recording for our full length. Busy? Nah. Not at all… and in other news.... we were robbed again. Yeah...again… god hates us man. This time we lost our Playstation 2, a handful of DVD’s, our power inverter, and all the change from our ashtray. Awesome. In the course of a year we were in one practice space in one city and it was broken into and robbed, moved to a different practice space in a different city and it was also broken into and robbed, then our van and trailer was stolen, and now shit gets stolen from our van because of a faulty mechanical locking system. god totally hates us. *Live photo by Josh Miner http://www.ed-gein.com/ METAL BLADE RECORDS eBay Store!
