More on Terrorizer's Return

Century Media reports: In today’s extreme music scene only a few bands deserve to be seen as “legendary” and Grindcore Pioneers TERRORIZER certainly belong as one of those groups. Having released their highly acclaimed and influential debut album “World Downfall” in 1989 (via Earache Records), the band took the scene by storm with an aggression that had been unheard of until then and which consequently lead this underground outfit to become a cult institution even after their quick disbanding, which saw the musicians on the album concentrate on their future main bands: Pete Sandoval (drums) with Morbid Angel and Jesse Pintado (guitars) with Napalm Death.

Now, after what might seem like an eternity of silence the band signed a world wide deal with Robert Kampf, owner of Century Media. Original forming members Pete and Jesse have started working on a new studio album, to be recorded early 2006 in Florida with producer Juan “Punchy” Gonzalez (Morbid Angel, Unholy Ghost, Christian Death, Diet of Worms etc.) for a summer 2006 release via the label.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story

We're confident that we're getting the support we need and we're also confident that the next WOLF album will eat you up and spit you out.

They toured with Edguy and Saxon, and they are ready to unleash their fourth album in mid 2006. Most likely the unholy mix of Iron Maiden meets Mercyful Fate meets super sized balls will be recorded by Peter Taegtgren again.

Carbon Copy Victory

Victory Records reports: Chicago, IL - Cincinnati based Carbon Copy Media has entered into an exclusive, long-term distribution and upstream pact with Victory Records on a worldwide basis. JT Woodruff, Founder of Carbon Copy Media and lead singer for Victory recording Artist Hawthorne Heights said, "Working with Tony and Victory will allow our artists to grow beyond any and all expectations. Starting this label and music media company has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I am very happy that Victory and I always share the same passion and vision. Our first two bands are Cincinnati's own Ellison, and Crown Point, Indiana's Asteria. Expect big things from these bands come May, as well as a few other exciting releases from the Carbon Copy Media/Victory family.”

“One of the reasons Hawthorne Heights has been successful is because they talk to, care about and truly interact with their fans online and before and after every performance,” says Victory’s Tony Brummel. “JT makes himself very accessible. As the singer of one of the biggest rock bands in America he is also very noticeable. Every day he gets a tremendous amount of music that he enthusiastically listens to. A&R happens on the street and JT is on the street every day. If the bands do well with JT they will have the opportunity to be uplifted to Victory. Hawthorne Heights’ current album is the third longest running rock album on the Top 200. Obviously, that has happened for a reason. We are expanding our collective passion and that is a very special thing to be a part of.” [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
