I'm excited to hear this big news. I'm sure one of us will post it when it's revealed.

Morbid Angel

I hear that Morbid Angel are auditioning guitarists to accompany them on their upcoming tour! worldentertainment@comcast.net is where to contact them if you feel you have what it takes.

The band is also currently working on material for a new release, the first since Heretic was released 5 years ago!! And the first to feature the vocals of the one and only David Vincent, who was on their 1995 release, and one of my favourite records, Domination.

Cryptopsy

The band is currently in the creative mood, working in a new album which should be out soon. To quote band vocalist Matt McGachy, "The studio process has been very fulfilling. We have just recently finished all of the vocal tracks and the samples are in the process of being completed. The songs are just as brutal as on the previous albums while being far more concise. We have even brought in Ex-Ion Dissonance vocalist Gabriel McCaughry to add some vocals to a track called 'Anoint the Dead'. Some of the other tracks on the album are called 'Worship Your Demons', 'The Headsmen' and 'Bemoan the Martyr'."

Black Asylum

Aussie Metallers Black Asylum have released a few new songs on their Myspace page. These guys are good, and after seeing them live myself I can say that someone out there will like them. They are also playing at Australia's Metalstock show. Checkout the Metalstock blog further down for more details on that.

Empyrean

Another local of Australia, has just released a video for their song Pleasure of Another's Pain. Check it out below and see More of the band at www.myspace.com/empyreanband.

Blatherskite

Sydney based Industrial Metal band, bloody amazing live act and awesome guys, are "getting ready to smash out the next album on 28th of April, set for a September release". I am personally really looking forward to this, since I got their mini album Three World, I've been hanging out for more! Check them out at www.myspace.com/blatherskite.

The band is also seeking a new bassist, so if you are Sydney based and can rock out, or know someone who can get in touch with them through myspace.

I could go on, but I'm sure that anything else I'd tell you you'd already know. Keep it heavy, and loud!
