EXODUS: NEW SONG ONLINE + NEW ALBUM TRACK LISTING REVEALED




EXODUS have uploaded "Hammer And Life," a new track off their upcoming
May 18th release, Exhibit B: The Human Condition, onto their MySpace
player www.myspace.com/EXODUS




Guitarist/songwriter Gary Holt shares the background on the new song:



"We decided to put up an early rough mix of 'Hammer And Life' to give
everybody a little taste of the new record. The really fast songs
you'll get soon enough! This song is inspired by the one and only
[original vocalist] Paul Baloff, our ode to him. Paul was always the
hammer in EXODUS and he lived for metal more than anyone I've ever

known. R.I.P."



The track listing for the band's ninth studio album is as follows:



01. 'The Ballad Of Leonard And Charles'
02. 'Beyond The Pale'
03. 'Hammer And Life'

04. 'Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)'
05. 'Downfall'
06. 'March Of The Sycophants'
07. 'Nanking'
08. 'Burn, Hollywood, Burn'
09. 'Democide'
10. 'The Sun Is My Destroyer'
11. 'A Perpetual State Of Indifference'
12. 'Good Riddance'



Nuclear Blast USA's Webshop http://store.nuclearblastusa.com will be
issuing an exclusive mail-order edition of the album featuring a
slipcase with different artwork (to be unveiled soon) plus the North
American bonus track "Devil's Teeth."




In a recent interview with Canoe.ca
http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/E/...20821-qmi.html
, Holt stated, "A lot of people will ask me things like, 'EXODUS is
achieving a lot of popularity again, do you think it's due to thrash
metal coming back?' And I say, 'No. I think thrash metal's coming back
because of EXODUS.'"




Exhibit B: The Human Condition was recorded this past December in

Kreator). EXODUS are currently on the Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary

METAL BLADE RECORDS LAUNCHES METAL BLADE TV!


Los Angeles metal label launches website dedicated solely to spreading the word of Heavy Metal to the masses


AGOURA HILLS, Calif. - March 11, 2010 - Forerunners in the heavy metal scene since its humble beginnings in the early eighties, Metal Blade Records is once again spreading the word of Heavy Metal to the world now through the label's brand new site, Metal Blade TV. Metal Blade TV will be a place for metalheads to go and see video interviews and segments from some of their favorite Metal Blade artists in addition to other notable metal musicians and bands. Metal Blade is doing this because the label is not only about exposing its own bands to the metal community, but also bringing attention to the talents of all metal musicians out there on the scene working hard to give you music to bang your heads and pump your fists to.


Chairman and CEO of Metal Blade Records, Brian Slagel comments; "We are very excited about the launch of our own TV channel, Metal Blade TV! We are going to bring you not only content from Metal Blade artists, but from the entire world of Heavy Metal. We want to take you behind the scenes and see all the bands in a different way. Also there will be a lot of rare live video clips too! We really hope you enjoy this new venture from Metal Blade Records!"



As Brian Slagel stated above, Metal Blade TV will also host rare video clips from his illustrious collection that spans 30 years of Heavy Metal shows. There are sure to be some very interesting and never seen footage so be sure to stay tuned to Metal Blade TV to catch of glimpse of Heavy Metal history.


New videos to coincide with the launch of Metal Blade TV include:

-Cooking with John Bush and Joey Vera of Armored Saint: Part 1

-Primordial "All Empires Fall" Full Trailer in HD

-Lazarus A.D. "Revolution" Live @ Loudpark Japan

-Phil Sgrosso of As I Lay Dying takes on a tour of the not so metal instruments of the NAMM convention



About Metal Blade Records:

The noise began 28 years ago…


A music starved kid named Brian Slagel, killing time in suburban Los Angeles, gets sick of watching the local metal scene being ignored by the major labels. Working days at legendary metal emporium Oz Records and nights putting together one of the first metal fanzines, The New Heavy Metal Revue, Slagel asks some distributor friends if they'd be interested in circulating a compilation of unsigned bands if he put it together. The distributors said yes and Metal Blade Records was born. Of course it wasn't quite that simple. Putting in long 17-hour days between Oz and Metal Blade, Slagel pieced together the bands that would grace the label's first release - The New Heavy Metal Revue presents Metal Massacre. Metallica, Ratt and Black 'N' Blue were just a few of the willing locals. Except before Metal Massacre, Metallica didn't exist.


So now for almost 30 years, Metal Blade Records has been setting the trend in heavy metal music without compromising its underground beginnings. Brian Slagel and Metal Blade Records have without a doubt had a major role in developing the American metal scene since day one and remains one of the most essential sources of metal music today. Since its beginnings in 1982, Metal Blade Records has unleashed some of the most influential and significant metal acts like Slayer, Metallica, Cannibal Corpse, GWAR, Six Feet Under, and King Diamond while developing acts like As I Lay Dying, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Unearth, Behemoth, Job For a Cowboy, Whitechapel, Goatwhore, The Ocean, Soilent Green, Lazarus AD and 3 just to name a few. There are few who can argue that Metal Blade is one of the leading independent metal labels around! Constantly growing and expanding, Metal Blade has offices in Japan, Canada, and an office in the UK. Not to mention the already significant Metal Blade Records Germany whos been a strong and major force in the European scene for over a decade. By keeping a constant eye on the underground, adding some of the best bands out there to its roster, and sponsoring leading metal tours and festivals like the Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival and New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, it is obvious that Metal Blade Records is here to stay!

MUNICIPAL WASTE LATIN AMERICAN VENUE CHANGES, TOUR REPORT

MUNICIPAL WASTE have announced venue changes for 2 dates on their current tour of Latin America. The demand to see the band during their first ever run of Latin America has been so intense that promoters have been forced to find bigger venues that could contain the crazed masses coming to FACE THE WASTE.

Here are the updated list of dates:


Mar 10 2010 Barranco Bar--Lima, Peru
Mar 11 2010 Rock Y Guitarras--Santiago, Chile**
Mar 12 2010 Aram Vinhedo--Campinas, Brazil**
Mar 13 2010 Clash Club --Sao Paulo, Brazil
Mar 14 2010 Teatro Odisseia--Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Mar 15 2010 Drakkar Music Hall--Porto Alegre, Brazil

**Denotes new venue


MUNICIPAL WASTE have been greatly enjoying their time in Latin America. The shows have been some of the most incredible of the band's career and every moment both on and offstage, has been a memorable one. Frontman, Tony Foresta comments on the great times they've experienced so far on their Latin American tour:

"Greetings from Bogotá Columbia! We're about 5 days into our South American
tour and it has been a really fun one. We just finished our 2 gigs in Mexico one of which was with Sacred Reich, Cynic and Dying fetus. That was a really fun time and its is always a good to hang with Phil and the rest of the Sacred Reich dudes. Our show last night in Bogotá was really insane. Kids were jumping off of the balcony and scaffolding. I didn't know whether to sing or just watch the insanity unfold. The crowds here have been really
cool too. They get really rowdy but are very respectable to each other and
the band. So far no one has fallen into our equipment or done anything
stupid to mess up our show up. Very very cool audiences. It makes it so much more fun to play when its like that.

My favorite thing so far is seeing all of the Waste bootleg shirts that
people make and sell. They are so funny. My favorite shirt was a picture of

me Phil and Ryan chilling with a fan on the back of the shirt (pictured here: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/904/photojbx.jpg). I guess the guy making the shirt thought the fan was Dave and that he was printing a band photo on the back! It looks hilarious. Also some kids make there own
Waste shirts and wear them to the gigs. I've seen some really cool ones. I
love it when fans do that.

One bad thing that happened was that Phil got food poisoning on the first
day in Guadalajara. It was really bad. We almost had to cancel our Mexico
City gig. But the promoter called a medic to the show and he gave Phil some
pill that made him feel a bit better. He managed to tough it out and played

a killer set. I've never seen him that sick in my life. It was scary. What
a trooper. Gotta run. Off to Peru! More adventures to be had!"

For immediate release:

New York based extreme metal legends SUFFOCATION recently stopped by the studios of FUEL TV to perform two songs for “The Daily Habit”. While they were there they also participated in the “Ask the Band” segment in which bands interview themselves. The clip can be viewed at the following location http://www.fuel.tv/askaband?bcpid=24...id=69582312001.


Watch the band tear through the tracks “Blood Oath” and “Cataclysmic Purification” using the links below.

“Cataclysmic Purification”: http://www.fuel.tv/music?bcpid=58078...id=62482030001

“Blood Oath”: http://www.fuel.tv/music?bcpid=58078...id=62490946001



SUFFOCATION recently filmed a video clip for the track “Cataclysmic Purification” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEYSU4XGLpI) with director David Brodsky (ARSIS, GOD FORBID, KATAKLYSM, SWASHBUCKLE). Bassist Derek Boyer recently stated about the track and the groups 6th full length album “Blood Oath”:


"’Cataclysmic Purification’ audibly portrays a calamitous future approaching. With this song and the rest of the album I think we've maintained the musical integrity of the band while still having comprehendible brutality. ‘Blood Oath’ combines straight forward crushing movements with unsuspecting twists that will certainly entertain everyone from the avid SUFFOCATION listener to the 1st time innocent bystanders."

EVILE commenced the Hordes of Chaos II tour with KREATOR last night in Springfield, Va and seemed to have made a big splash in America thus far. A fan report on MetalSetlists.com gives a good sign that EVILE has what it takes to become a major metal powerhouse in North America: "They (EVILE)totally ruled live, their whole set was a guitar clinic, Ol Drake's solos are truly amazing, and this was their first show EVER in the United States, and what an introduction. They're now one of my top retro-thrash bands, based on how they played today, and I can't wait to see them in April with OverKill."
