-- NEWS --
PAUL DIANNO
During his performance on Friday, December 10, in Tel Aviv, Israel, former
Iron Maiden singer Paul Dianno was attacked by a crazed fan. Security put
a stop to the attack and a shaken Dianno finished the show.
DARKTHRONE
After being nominated for the Norwegian Alarm Awards, drummer Fenriz
commented in a Norwegian newspaper, " . . . we have no interest in being
part of the glitter and showbiz side of the music industry." Darkthrone
was subsequently removed from the list of nominees.

Strapping Young Lad will premiere music from their upcoming release
'Alien' at the Century Family's Christmas BallS on Monday, December 20.
The album is currently set for release on March 22, 2005.

two previous holiday albums, 'Christmas Eve & Other Stories' and 'The
Christmas Attic,' have been certified double platinum and platinum
respectively.
SNAPCASE
The band has called it quits, citing "...an impasse where our core
fan-base had been dwindling due to disenfranchisement with our newer
material..." in addition to other reasons for their decision. Snapcase

HYPOCRISY
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewhypocrisy2.html
Hypocrisy frontman Peter Tägtgren should be a familiar name to many a
metal household. From fronting Hypocrisy to producing many great metal
albums via his own Abyss Studios, there's no doubt that his metal
achievements are at levels that most of us can only dream of. Instead of
dissecting the music itself, Metal Update had an in depth discussion about
the mindset behind the lyrics, the controversial CD burning epidemic and
the love of good ol' country music.
