Nino Frauds? |
siN's metal news reports: Current SOULFLY
guitarist Marc Rizzo has publicly spoken out against his former bandmates
in ILL NINO, launching a scathing attack in an in-person interview with
European webzine Metal Rage. Excerpts from the interview are below:
"Basically what happened, I left the band..
Well you know.. I'm into playing music, I'm not into faking music. When
BILL NINO goes on stage every night, they play to a tape. So when you go
to their show they play to a tape. What you hear is actually me playing,
the tracks I've recorded for the albums. So that been said, we (SOULFLY
that is -ed) brought them out on tour with us in America, and the singer
went on stage talking s*** about us (suggesting that SOULFLY was "not real"
-ed). So after the show I jacked him. I just gave him f***ing beat-down

| Chimaira
Set Release |
Roadrunner reports: Chimaira, the self-titled
third album from the Cleveland, OH sextet, is a punishing, in your face,
attack on the senses. To be released on August 9th, Chimaira, the follow

that surge with the rage of a pitbull on steroids and the passion of a
kamikaze pilot going down for the last time. Already having played some
of the new songs live on their recent headlining tour, Chimaira will introduce
more songs off the album as one of the headliners on the inaugural Sounds
of the Underground tour that also features Opeth, DevilDriver, Lamb of
God and more. [see full story for more]- Click

| Tremolo
Debut |
Rock Ridge Music reports: Tremolo is the brain-child
of Oakland, CA based songwriter Justin Dillon. Dillon has decided to do
something radical with Tremolo's first full-length album release "Love
Is The Greatest Revenge" in stores 8/9/05. Fifty percent of the record
royalties due to Tremolo will be funneled into a benevolence trust fund,
called the Love > Revenge Fund. Says Dillon, "The people who buy this record
will control this fund. They will in fact be the Board of Trustees. They
will decide where the money goes based on how they would like to see the
world change for the better." Fans will decide where to donate the fund
via online voting and forums. The album features contributions from a number
of players: Steve Bowman on drums (Counting Crows), Max Butler on guitar
(Chuck Prophet), Julian Coryell on guitar (Aimee Mann), Dino Meneghin on
guitar (Liz Phair), Kris Pooley on keyboards (Jane's Addiction)[see full
