NEWS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
UNEARTH Update from the road:
"TEXAS. Thank you Texas for being so great. We are so sorry that all the dates got so screwed up. Thank you so much for everyone that showed up to the Red Blood Club in Dallas on 6 hours notice. That really meant a lot to us. Cattle Decapitation made Human Jerky and left a trail of Fred Durst jokes behind them. Austin, again thank you to everyone that came to EMOS on the NEW day. LOSA and At All Cost destroyed the HOUSE. All three of these bands kick FUCKING ass so you need to go and check them out. FOR REAL!!! All the dates on the tour should be correct from here on out. Thank you again Texas for understanding, we promise that we will make it up to you soon. Don't worry mom and dad we are getting plenty of sleep and eating well. "

CATTLE DECAPITATION Update from the road:
"The band has been making its way across the west to start the Spring 2004 tour here in Texas the past few days. We're partying with our friends band KILL THE CLIENT here in Dallas before we start up in Houston next week. This shall be a great tour! We're playing all sorts of stuff from the new album HUMANURE as well as some stuff off TO SERVE MAN and even a couple old ass songs... We're out of the HUMANURE promo toilet paper, but Metal Blade has been graced with a ton of them so you may see them pop up here and there as they'll be sending them out to radio stations and music stores around the states. Below are the final concrete dates with one cancellation! BE THERE."

THE RED CHORD Update from the road:
"The tour has been going great so far. We're hitting a lot of markets that we haven't played before and making some new fans.

AS I LAY DYING Update from Tim:
"The video shoot last week was amazing. Tonight is the last night of our co-headlining tour and there have been 25 sold out shows on this 30 day tour. We can't thank everyone enough! Also, we'd like to announce that we will be on tour with Killswitch Engage and In Flames May 3 - June 1. We are super stoked to be starting the tour with Killswitch Engage and In Flames.

BEYOND THE EMBRACE
Beyond the Embrace has announced that local bassist, Chris Parlon, formerly of Marazine, will permanently replace Adam Gonsalves.

"We auditioned Chris once and knew he was the guy. Chris has a great presence and he really knows his bass. He learned all of our songs and added his own flavor to them. He will be a great fit in Beyond The Embrace." - Oscar

THE HEAVILS Update from the road:
"Toast here, letting you know how it is. It's going good, we have kick ass shows and we have good shows. Last night we played at the PARIS THEATRE, good crowd. PORTLAND was kind of a crazy city, or maybe I just thought that because we slept 8 hours in the last three days. We are sitting in Denver drinking slurpees waiting to go set up. We need sleep. Lots of it. So far the tour has been a blast. All the bands we are playing with are all good eggs. Most of the shows have been very violent. Hardcore kids and metal kids going at it. We'll be back in the Midwest this weekend so come on out all you Rockfordians."

An MP3 for the song "Get Behind Me" off the bands upcoming release Heavilution is now available here.

VADER
It's going to be a pretty hard-working year for VADER; the band will play over 160 shows in 2004! Recently the guys came back from a very successful tour through Slovakia / Czech Republic and now they are playing some gigs in Europe. In the middle of April VADER will play their first tour crossing through Eastern Europe, invading countries like Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, Lithuania and Latvia. In May the band will take a little break due to the recording session of their new album "The Beast"!! But only one week after the recordings end (6/16) VADER is going to hit the road again, playing 10-12 gigs through Europe. On the 2nd of July the guys will play a gig in Istanbul (Turkey) and two days later (7/04) on a festival in Geneva. Right after these gigs VADER will start another tour through the Balkans, playing 7 gigs in the following countries: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia. On the 24th of July the band will play on a festival in Domegliara, Italy.

On the 25th of August VADER will start their tour through Scandinavia, with 14 shows in Sweden, Norway and Finland (we are still working on some Danish dates). After that Peter & Co. are going to play 3-4 gigs in RPA, Japan and Indonesia (6-7 dates). The Polish "Blitzkrieg 2" tour has been postponed to October and runs through October 18th. Two weeks later the band is going to start another trip through the US, right after that tour, VADER will participate on the "X-Mass Festival 2004"...Dates will follow!!

KING'S X Update from Ty:
"Here's an update. We're rehearsing and planning on doing an acoustic part of the show with songs we haven't done in a while so you can pass that on. Also, Jelly Jam 2 will be sent to the record company on Monday. I don't know when it's coming out. The King's X live album is well on its way and sounds great. We are going to record even more on this upcoming tour to have even more to choose from. We plan on making it a double live CD with LOTS of songs."

http://www.kingsxonline.com/

News on Live KING DIAMOND CD:
well, the latest news is that we are going to mix the album in May (me and King) and its probably going to be released in September/October. Still no details are known at the moment such as album title, if it's going to be 2 CD etc. Andy told me however that most of the song the band played on the USA tour will be on the album. More news as we have it!!
