Retribution is a thrash metal band formed in Poland in 1999. Most of the band's members played in other bands before (Velvet Thorns, Serpentia, Sad Kingdom) but Retribution is, and always will be, for them the undisputable number one. In 2002 the band released a 4-track demo. After a few years they decided to record material for the debut full-length LP entitled "Made in Hell". In the meantime, they played innumerable concerts at small pubs as well as at big festivals.

Mile Scream have issued the following road report following their recent tour of Eastern Canada.: "We just got back from New Brunswick, what awesome times and the shows were totally awesome. We made a lot of new fans, and discovered a whole bunch of fans we never knew we had," says guitarist Alex Delis.

It took Deivos nearly 10 years to complete its first full-length album but the results are worth the wait. The material shows a multi-dimensional death metal attack distinguished by original ideas, brutal strength and astonishing technical perfection. It's Polish death metal at its best!

The sophomore release is the product of a "four year journey back from the brink of living," following a near fatal car accident which forced Coleman to painstakingly reclaim control of his body and life well enough to finish the work.

AMANDLA continues leaping across boundaries of style and sound with this release. There is still a steady current of rock, pop, folk and soul, resting in a bed of psychedelica, but now stretching a bit further into jazz territories.

The game arms the player with a howitzer and the mission to destroy all of the cloying ailments of the season including puckish elves, syrupy-sweet candy canes, and overly-decorated presents.

First, Luke recently finished work on an upcoming volume of THE SEVEN INCH PROJECT, which will be released in limited availability under the name "Brain"�the title of Luke's new touring band who joined him on the road with The Good Life.

Slash writes of the possibility of a reunion: "It's funny, when fans ask me, as they do almost every day, whether Guns, in its original form, will ever reunite, it is hard to take them seriously. That question is so asinine to me; if they knew the real story, they'd already know the answer. But my response is always the same: 'Take a look at what everyone is doing now. Duff and Matt and I are part of a really successful band. Izzy's content doing his thing; Steven too. And Axl is touring with the "new Guns." No one is making phone calls to see when we can get the band together again.'"
