Vehemence Split
siN's metal news reports: VEHEMENCE guitarist John Chavez and Bjorn Dannov have commented on the band's breakup:

John: "Yah guys, it is true. I tried hard to persuade the guys to keep it together, but they felt this was the best time to throw in the towel and move on to the next chapter. I started to feel it too after what was said and presented. Basically, the overall vibe of VEHEMENCE was decreasing. The songs were good, and I think the whole thing with Sean Vandegrift not producing lyrics for 6 months, and not moving down to Phoenix had something to do with the frustration and tension within the band leading to its demise.[see full story for a lot more]- Click Here for the Full Story

Village of Spiritu
Press Release reports: Heavy rock/metal label MeteorCity announces its next release, a split CD featuring the bands SPIRITU and VILLAGE OF DEAD ROADS. Entitled "Human Failures," the album recaptures the spirit of MeteorCity's early split releases from Nebula & Lowrider and Unida & Dozer, pairing four tracks each from roster stalwart Spiritu and new addition VoDR. "Human Failures" weaves energy, soul and aggression into a dynamic voyage that's atmospheric and rockin' at times, bleak and asphyxiating at others. This alternately uplifting and pummeling hour of artful heaviness is sure to appeal to fans of ISIS, Cavity, YOB, The Melvins and Clutch. This is also the first proper release from Spiritu since their 2002 debut, which Pit Magazine acclaimed as "crushing, fulminating and monolithic!", Kerrang! dubbed "skull-crushingly heavy and unique," and Metal Hammer called "hugely enjoyable." Spiritu / Village of Dead Roads "Human Failures" will be released to brick-and-mortar and digital retail in January 2006, with advance ordering possible by mid-December.- Click Here for the Full Story
