FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
UNEARTH update from the band:
Thanks to everyone who came out to represent in Spanish Harlem NYC for our video shoot. Dale at Raging Nation did a killer job! This guy is one of the best in the business. He has shot videos for Hatebreed, Nora, Candiria, 12 Tribes, Fear Factory and many others. The video was shot for the song "The Great Dividers" and it should see airplay on Headbangers Ball and Fuse sometime in late June.

"The Great Dividers" will be the first track on our upcoming full length "The Oncoming Storm", which will see a release date of June 29th through Metal Blade Records. A CD release show in Worcester, MA at the Palladium on July 2nd is almost 100% confirmed. Details will be announced this week.

We start our Northeast/Canadian run with Burnt by the Sun next week. If Hope Dies will be joining the tour for the U.S. dates and Victory Records A Perfect Murder will hook up for the Canadian shows.

AS I LAY DYING Update from the road:
"The Killswitch Engage/ In Flames tour is the best tour we've done so far. Usually the opening bands on a tour don't get as good of a reaction as we have gotten on this tour. It was really unexpected. " - Tim

After the Killswitch Engage/ In Flames tour, As I Lay Dying will be taking a month long break and will be hitting the road again in July supporting Zao on the Midwest leg of their tour and then meeting up with Shadow's Fall for their national tour.

BEYOND THE EMBRACE Update from the road:
"We just found out that tonight's show at Sin 13 in San Antonio has been cancelled. Apparently during a crazy fight at the show last night a toilet was broken spilling sewage into the club. Our booking agent is working hard to find another venue for the show, but it doesn't look like things are going to work out. Other than that, we are doing really well. The Prong tour is cool. The people at the shows are totally into the music. We are psyched to start the Iced Earth tour next week. " - Oscar

THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER Update from the road:
"The Vital Remains tour was awesome, good times were had, but we were bummed we missed the LA show. The people in Texas are cool, and lemme tell ya, they like the hard rock. The people at the arena shows saw the truth and bowed down to the brutal melodic metal. We will be touring with Cannibal Corpse in July!" - Brian

CROWNED UNHOLY!!!
Great news for all fans of recently deceased THE CROWN!

On the 10th of August 2004 Metal Blade Records will release Crowned Unholy that will also include a bonus-DVD!

Crowned Unholy is a remake of the bands fifth album Crowned In Terror with re-recorded vocal tracks by Johan, re-recorded bass tracks by Magnus, a new version of the intro (originally written by Marko, now programmed by Janne), drum sound digitally enhanced by Janne, and cool synthesizer-spiced parts here and there, all programmed by Janne.

The whole remake and remix/mastering was made/performed at Bohus Sound Recording with Dragan Tanaskovic. THE CROWN has NEVER worked with such a cool dude. Dragan's attitude and experience combined with the visions of THE CROWN was harmony defined.

Janne Saarenpää (drums) comments the release: "Finally Crowned in Terror=Crowned Unholy sounds just the way it's supposed to! After a long, LONG journey through different studios and mastering facilities we once again achieved the unique CROWN sound, this time at Bohus Sound Recording and nowhere else. When you hear Johan's voice in the BRUTAL new mix, you will once again realize that you've been struck by the magic of THE CROWN! A perfect ending for quite a ride that lasted for 14 years!"

Crowned Unholy will be released with a free bonus-DVD. The content is not confirmed yet so will keep you posted! The front cover is nearly done and will be released soon!

FALCONER SEARCH FOR NEW MEMBERS AFTER INTERNAL HOSTILITY
Once again Falconer is up for a line-up change. Second guitarist Anders Johansson and bass player Peder Johansson are out.

"A big discussion took place after the gig in Motala (Swe) as we started to talk about the future of Falconer. Two camps quickly formed about the issue. The talk started to get more and more aggressive until it took an ugly turn as Peder started to let his hands do the talking, but luckily Kristoffer stepped in and stopped it from getting really bad. Although our intoxicated state of mind probably made the argument worse, it has left deep scars. After this incident the contacts has been very chilly with especially Peder but also Anders.

Karsten, Kristoffer and I believe that the tension will undermine the future atmosphere of the band if they were to stay. It's better to go our separate ways and let them follow their ideas with their other band Guineapigs. We don't think nor hope that Peder and Anders have a different opinion about the decision we have taken."

Sincerely!
Stefan, Kristoffer and Karsten.

If you are interested in the job, please contact the band through their website http://www.falconermusic.com/
