Kari Rueslatten - a new album soon

Former THE 3RD AND THE MORTAL "goddess of beauty" Kari Rueslåtten will release her fourth solo album, "Other People's Stories", on September 27 through GMR Music. The follow-up to 2002's "Pilot" is said to be "filled with [Kari's] best songs to date as well as wonderfully produced."

With regards to the album's title, Kari had previously stated, "The idea behind this title is that all the songs tell somebody's story, but their story could also be my own. People make choices that sometimes is beyond our understanding. But if we were to be in their position we might have done exactly the same."

ANTHRAX win "The Spirit Of Rock" award!!!

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian has commented on winning the "Spirit of Rock" award at the Kerrang! Awards, which were held Thursday night (August 26) at The Brewery in central London.

"Comrades, we won at the Kerrang awards!" Scott writes on the group's web site. "They gave us the award for 'Spirit Of Rock' which is given to a band that has changed the face of music and has been a major influence on others. It was really cool. The event itself is huge. I had no idea it was so big. They had a killer video presentation showing clips of our whole career, from 'Madhouse' to 'What Doesn't Die' with a voiceover giving our history. Rob and I had no clue that we were getting this. It was kept secret from us the whole time. I thought we were nominated in a category with other bands so when they announced this award and said this year's winners etc. etc. I realized they had picked us for the award. Rob and I went up and I gave a very excited and brief thank you speech and then we were whisked off to the press room for all kinds of TV and radio. It was really cool to be recognized by a magazine that I've been reading since before ANTHRAX..."

BloodWorks wed metal and horror

Producer/manager Christopher Tuffin, who has managed such metal acts as PAINMUSEUM, as well as members of the band HALFORD, has teamed up with former NFL star Glenn Cadrez to form a new horror entertainment company, BloodWorks.

Tuffin says that he wants to build stronger ties between the hard rock/metal community and the horror filmmakers.

"Like metal, horror isn’t just a genre — it's a way of life for a lot of fans," he said. "They both allow their artists to question authority, explore fears and lash out at the status quo, so it makes perfect sense to build their respective awareness via soundtracks, casting and other cross promotions that will expose each of them to a wider audience.”

Kevin Shirley - I’ve not seen a penny...

Продюсер Кевин Ширли (DREAM THEATER, IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER) разместил на своем сайте следующее сообщение:

«Все, чем я занимаюсь последнее время, похоже на профессиональное самоубийство. Я устал от того, что всевозможные конторы и менеджеры групп смешивают нас – звукоинженеров и продюсеров – с дерьмом, и мы терпим, ведь на самом деле, работы для нас не так много и нам приходится едва ли не побираться. То, что на запись в наше время выделяются смешные деньги, лейблы аргументируют большими затратами на рекламу. Согласен, но почему сегодня на запись выделяется меньше денег, чем тридцать лет назад?!. Я слушаю старые альбомы BLACK SABBATH и поражаюсь, насколько кропотливо относились к процессу записи в то время, и насколько безалаберно относятся сейчас. Я не дурак называть этих людей по именам, но лишь бегло взглянув на мой график, вы поймете, о ком идет речь. Сейчас все стремятся сэкономить, не думая, что в последствии придется очень сильно пожалеть. На самом деле, с того самого дня, как я вернулся из Лондона, я ни гроша не увидел от всех этих директоров и менеджеров, несмотря на те безумные временные рамки, которые они так любят ставить, и все их просьбы исправить хреново записанные альбомы. Так, одна компания попросила меня смикшировать целый альбом за $5000. В лучшем случае, на эту работу ушла бы неделя, а расценки нашей студии $2000 в день!!! Интересно, чем, по их мнению, я должен платить по своим счетам и кредитам...»

ANNIHILATOR - two DVD’s are upcoming

ANNIHILATOR mastermind Jeff Waters is in talks with three different companies about releasing the group's first-ever DVD. "The Campbell Brothers will be doing it so it will be a really entertaining DVD," Waters writes on the band's web site. "Well worth the 15-year wait for a video/DVD release from us. I will let you know what will be on it but i can assure you, it will be a big-selling item. TONS of rare and priceless stuff. This REALLY will be a special thing. Trust me on that one!"

In addition to releasing a "proper" ANNIHILATOR DVD, Waters says that there are also plans to issue a second DVD that will be "kinda half an instructional guitar/ANNIHILATOR video: me jamming to some of the songs/solos on the CDs and playing some easy ones and hard ones. BUT the other half should be a really entertaining one: lots of me talking about how cds were recorded, tour of my studio, guitars, amps, all the neat and interesting stuff ya always wanted to know. AND A LOT OF RARE FOOTAGE AND AUDIO. So this will not be just for guitarists, but for bassists and all fans of ANNIHILATOR!"
