Good Old War, Cast Spells To Release Split EP And Tour In December

US / THEM reports: The tremendous intra-band camaraderie of the Sargent House roster continues as Good Old War and Cast Spells release a split EP together and tour sharing band members in December.

Good Old War will serve as the backing band to Dave Davison's solo outfit Cast Spells on these dates (please see full dates below). And to further the family love, Good Old War also contribute vocal harmonies to the forthcoming new Sargent House album by Davison's other band, Maps & Atlases.

In support of this tour, Sargent House will release a 4-song EP comprised of two new tracks by each act. This is the first new music from Good Old War since release of its debut album Only Way to be Alone (Sargent House) in 2008, which has kept the band in a whirlwind of touring (including dates with RX Bandits, The Honorary Title , Heartless Bastards and Gaslight Anthem) and a multitude of radio appearances. - more on this story

Karnivool Preview New Album With First Video

PR reports: Australia's Karnivool present the first video from their upcoming release Sound Awake, out February 16, 2010 via SIN/SonyMusic Independent Network.

"Set Fire To The Hive," with its distorted vocals, up-tempo vibe, raw prog-punk feel and vocalist Ian Kenny's venomous delivery, sounds nothing like Karnivool have attempted before and takes the band into uncharted sonic territory.

Produced by Forrester Savell (The Butterfly Effect, Mammal, Dead Letter Circus), Sound Awake is kaleidoscopic & multi-dimensional. It delivers the band's trademark sound and takes the listener to new heights as it ventures into innovative exploratory territory. - Watch the video here

Eyes Set To Kill MTV

PR reports: Eyes Set To Kill have posted their video for the song "The World Outside" online at MTV. The video was directed by Black Fawn Films' Chad Archibald and Philip Carrer in Los Angeles, and is the title track from the Eyes Set To Kill's recently released sophomore album.

"Shooting the video brought the song to life for me personally since the song is about being overwhelmed with change," says Eyes Set To Kill's Alexia Rodriguez. "It was cool too express it through visual media, which allowed for a dramatic performance with zombies and violence."

Eyes Set To Kill's new album, "The World Outside", was written and recorded in Los Angeles, CA with producer Dave Aguilera (ex-Otep, Bleed the Dream) and mixed by Thom Flowers (The Ataris). The band is currently on a headlining US tour with LoveHateHero, and Dreaming of Eden. - Check out the video here

Shadow Gallery Release Compilation Album

PR reports: Shadow Gallery, widely considered a major and innovative force within the realms of progressive rock and metal, have returned with their 6th studio effort "Digital Ghosts". Following up 2005's "Room V" as well as the "Prime Cuts" compilation release of material from previous albums in 2007, "Digital Ghosts" was released on October 26th, 2009 in Europe and November 3rd, 2009 in North America via InsideOutMusic. The band is also excited to announce that they filmed a video last month and it will be released in the coming weeks.

Lead guitarist and bassist Gary Wehrkamp had the following to say about the release of "Digital Ghosts" : "This is a day we have been looking forward to and I know we are not alone in saying that. Coming off the tragedies of last year, we forged ahead determined to give our very best in every way we could. Recording is a labor of love, and we really enjoyed completing this record. The band is thrilled to present our sixth release to our patient friends in America."

After the tragic passing of lead singer Mike Baker in October 2008, "Digital Ghosts" introduces new lead singer Brian Ashland and not only sees the entire band once again sharing additional vocal duties but also features guest vocal appearances by Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear) and Clay Barton (Suspyre) to compliment the release. With "Digital Ghosts", SHADOW GALLERY's members Brendt Allman, Carl Cadden-James, Gary Wehrkamp, new addition Brian Ashland and returning drummer Joe Nevolo (who appears on two songs of the record) have focused their powerful energies on creating a seamless blend of progressive, metal, and symphonic rock as a transcendent work of musical art that advances the boundaries of these genres into new directions. - more on this story

Riverside Set DVD Release

MMP reports: Riverside, the band hailing from Warsaw, Poland, can best be described as a stylistic blend of atmospheric rock and metal elements, resulting in a sound similar to that of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Dream Theater, and Tool, while still maintaining an identity of their own. Since the release of their debut album, Riverside have built a solid fan base in progressive rock genre.

In May 2008, the band went on a mini-tour across Poland. The most significant date of the tour was May, 17th when Riverside played a special, over-two-hour gig in Toya Studios in Łódź. The show was treated as a summary of the "Reality Dream Trilogy" (Out Of Myself – 2003, Second Life Syndrome – 2005 & Rapid Eye Movement - 2007). Apart from the great performance of the most important songs from the band's three big releases, the band also prepared the best lighting in their live history with a few screens that showed some special visuals. The concert in Łódź was recorded and, so far, it was available in a limited audio only edition during their "Reality Dream Tour" in December 2008.

Today, the fans of Riverside have a chance to see that special performance in its full glory as it is released as a double DVD. Apart from the complete performance in Łódź, "Reality Dream" DVD also includes a selection of live performances in various places around the world, including Canada, Germany and Holland, plus a documentary "Behind the Curtain – A film by John Vis" and a photo gallery. The graphic design was, once again, handled by Travis Smith (painter for such bands as Opeth, Anathema, and Devin Townsend). "Reality Dream" 2 DVD will be available on 7th December 2009 in Europe (except for France - 11th January 2010) and 23rd February 2010 in USA (via MVD). - more on this story
