Tribuzy & 10 Fold B-Low Releases

Press Release reports: Get ready for a star-studded power metal orgy of the highest dimensions as Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, ex-Helloween's Michael Kiske and Primal Fear's Ralf Scheepers all lend their lungs to Execution by Tribuzy, was released by Spain's eclectic and adventurous Locomotive Records on August 30. As if that isn't enough to whet the saliva glands of any self-respecting headbanger, playing guitar on Execution is ex-Helloween and Masterplan's Roland Grapow and Angra's Kiko Loureiro, playing bass is Bruce Dickinson's Chris Dale and lending more ax and production chops is super-producer Roy (Judas Priest) Z! Brazil's Renato Tribuzy co-produced and wrote nine of the tracks himself (the lone cover being Sinner's "Nature Of Evil").

Recommended for only the most maniacal metal mavens, a much more brutal, more extreme, excessive brand of 'bang is For Those Who Share The Sun, the second album from Germany's vicious "nu-death-metalcore" stalwarts 10 Fold B-Low. From the sledgehammer-to-the-skull approach of "Blood Gore On" to the low-tuned "Cut Myself," this four-year old crew of onstage neckbreakers has upped the ante since its 2004 debut. For Those Who Share The Sun doesn't let up for one moment, its few acoustic interludes only giving the listener time to lick their wounds before the pummeling begins anew.- Click Here for the Full Story

Katrina Sidelines Into The Moat

Metal Blade reports: We had planned on jumping back on the Soilent Green tour on the 28th, but we had another stroke of bad luck. Hurricane Katrina came right through our hometown last Thursday and set a lot of things back for us. We are unable to get our van out of the shop due to the one million power outages across south Florida. We are very sorry for even more bad news, but as we said before we will not be defeated by all of this. We are right now trying to get some shows in north Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, and Virginia. So if you or anyone you know can help us out let us know. We will jump back on the Soilent Green tour on 9/03. We will also be playing some shows on the way up to the CMJ showcase on 9/14 so check those out. Thanks again for the support; we are sorry for more bad news.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
