It's not a joke, the band is going to enter Hertz Studio, Bialystok at the beginning of July to record a brand new MCD under a working title "The Art Of War". It's worth to add here, Wieslawscy brothers will take care not only of the recordings but also will produce it! The MCD will contain only new songs! Follow with Peter's opinion, the release will feature 3 extremely intense and fast cuts and one song in a vein of band's typical style. "The Art Of War" will also contain a special bonus videoclip for the title track. It's going to be something really new, unconventional and powerful, expect the unexpectable (the production itself has taken almost 5 months)! This time a different person will take care of layout and MCD's artwork. Stay tuned for more details.
As you maybe know, the old deal with Metal Blade Records has been recently fulfilled, so the band is currently looking for a new contract and negotiating with some partners. For the moment nobody actually knows who will sign Panzer Division VADER for this and future releases. But don't be afraid, there's a few serious offers from well known and established labels, just be patient and cross your fingers for us! More details will follow soon.

The band is very enthusiastic about the final result, it will be (due to their opinions) a really powerful thing. You can expect only crushing guitar riffs, explosing drums & gruntling bass parts. The list of guest musicians contains some well known names like Grzegorz Kupczyk (vocals, CETI, TURBO), Maruihuana (keyboards, CETI) as well as a few young and talented persons like Soyak (growling parts, FAUST, NAUMACHIA), Chmiel (vocals, ex-LOCH NESS) and Martinez (keyboards, ex-LOCH NESS).

only hold up right now is the art/layout for the 10" split

CD with Vrolok. The video portion will be completed within the next
few days at which time everything will be turned over to Arctic
Music for immediate release. No available information at the time

Killswitch Engage powerhouse vocalist Howard Jones came down with a bad case of laryngitis doctors were called in to check out Howard’s vocal chords and up until the last possible moment the band was not sure if they were going to be able to perform due to Howard’s medical condition. KSE asked long time friends and state mates Unearths own Trevor Phipps to join them on stage to perform vocals for the set. Trevor did in his own style pull it off really well and the fans were not disappointed at all - 8000 fans sang along every word of the set making the band very proud! Adam D comedic mastermind and band guitarist states, “We were in a serious pinch and the Unearth guys really pulled through for us. – They are great guys and great friends we really appreciate what they did for us”
Unearth vocalist Trevor Phipps adds, “Friends help each other out and I didn't want to see Killswitch have to cancel and let down their fans. I was glad to help out and I did my best for them and their fans in a very last minute decision. I personally want to thank the crowd for all their help screaming along with every word.”
The Red Chord studio update - The Red Chord's new album Clients is currently being recorded at Planet Z with engineer/producer Zeuss. According to new drummer Brad Fickiesen, "The record sounds amazing so far. Zeuss has been working the hell out of us and we're all extremely psyched with the progress to this point. The drum tracks are 100% finished. We're about midway through tracking guitars now and we just started vocals." The new album is slated to street date May 17th via Metal Blade/BMA with tour plans before and after the release to be announced soon.
In regards to the new record, guitarist Mike McKenzie says, 'Floating science crown'. Bassist Greg Weeks contributed his two scents adding "Diarrhea trombone." So yeah...ignore that kid on Lambgoat's message board. We don't have the record yet, so he doesn't have the mp3's.
Look for some extensive tour plans to be announced within the next couple weeks.

We still need help with a show on 1/12 in Northern, VA or the Washington DC area and 1/17 in Northern/ Mid to east North Carolina.

FATES WARNING to begin working on new video! THE END REECORDS and KISS OF INFAMY MANAGEMENT are proud to announce the signing of a multi-album deal with Canadian act THINE EYES BLEED. Their debut album, 'In The Wake Of Separation', is scheduled for an April 26 release. Highlighted by a disciplined ferocity and over-the-top instrumentation, the band fuses modern metal extremity with touches of dissonant, oddly-constructed riffing, engaging vocal variation, ripping guitar-soloing and memorable songwriting. The band was voted Best Underground Metal Band by Uranium.com and boasts an exceptional line-up, including former Kittie guitarist/technician Jeff Phillips, Justin Wolfe from Acacia and John Araya (brother of Slayer's Tom Araya). Having toured with Kittie, Superjoint Ritual, MTV's “Jackass/Wildboys” Steve O, Candiria, Twelve Tribes, 36 Crazy Fists, etc., they are now gearing up for extensive national touring in 2005! LINE-UP: THUNDER RELEASE NEW CD THE MAGNIFICENT SEVENTH (STC2005-1) Thunder release their new album entitled The Magnificent Seventh, on 21st February through their STC Recordings label (distributed by Universal). The album was produced by Luke Morley and engineered by long time Thunder knob twiddler Rupert Coulsen (with a little help from Ben Matthews). The full track listing for the album is as follows: I Love You More Than Rock 'n' Roll Danny Bowes says "We're very excited about the
new LP. We recorded it in exactly the same way as we did the first
one, back in 1572, so the vibe is great, and it was a lot of fun.
The songs are very straightforward, probably more so than a lot
of our previous LPs, and there's a good mix of solid rockers and
slushy stuff, oh and a big old Bon Jovi shout up type tune about
a she-male saving up for the final chop! Don't ask me about it,
I didn't write the bloody thing.." All tickets are £18.50, except for London which are £20.00 (all in advance, subject to booking fee). Tickets available at : www.cclive.co.uk and all usual agents. The Magnificent Seventh follows a busy year for Thunder in 2004. The band played several one-off shows and toured with Deep Purple. In November they scored their 17th top 40 hit with "I Love You More Than Rock'n'Roll" which entered the charts at 27. The new album promises to crash into 2005!
