FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
UNEARTH update from the band:
The Oncoming Storm finally hit stores everywhere on Tuesday, June 29th. Not only can you pick up the 11 song CD everywhere for only $9.99, but you will notice that our CD is also a CD-ROM with a bonus video for "Black Hearts Now Reign", in addition to a full lay-out with killer art work done by Sons of Nero and full lyrics and credits.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us thus far. Your appreciation for our music means everything to us. We will be seeing you all this summer on tour on Ozzfest, off-fest days with Lamb of God, Atreyu and Every Time I Die and at the annual HELLFEST! We were confirmed for the hardcore fest of the year this week and we couldn't be more stoked.

See you all on the road...

**Unearth's The Oncoming Storm was the #5 new release at Tower on it's first day! The band also came in at #11 nationally after one-day sales at independent retail.

THE RED CHORD Update from Guy:
"The Red Chord is back in commission! We have been practicing like maniacs to get things finished for the new record and be ready to hit the road again. So finally, we're hitting the road again in July for just over a month starting with Hellfest and then co-headlining the Radiotakeover Tour with Evergreen Terrace, A Life Once Lost and Fear Before the March of Flames. This will round out our summer and we will be putting the finishing touches on the 'Clients' album for Metal Blade and recording in late September/early October. All the RTO tour dates will be posted soon. We apologize for the lack of a web site. www.theredchord.com went down about a month ago and we've been having a hard time getting it back up and running. The guy who ran our server decided he didn't want to run a server anymore and it went down pretty abruptly. So in the meantime, for tour dates and all that stuff check out www.blackmarketactivities.com and we'll try to keep that updated. Our new drummer, John Longstreth just played his first show with us at a small gig last weekend in Providence with our good friends A Life Once Lost, A Perfect Murder, Misery Signals & Wasteform and it went pretty decent. Some kinks since it was our first time out with him, but we're sure that those will all be ironed out by the time we hit the road next month. Hope to see you all on the road soon."

CATTLE DECAPITATION update from the band:
*Cattle Decapitation is part of a giant pull out poster in the new issue of METAL MANIACS!!! Check it out! On the flipside is the best death metal band of all time, CARCASS! It hits the newsstands 6/29/04!!!

*Cattle had a small mentioning in this weeks issue of Entertainment Weekly! It appears the band Decapitated bailed off the tour we were supposed to do with them next month and people are trying to link their departure to the beheading of journalist Neil Burg in Iraq. At the end of the article it says "this can't possibly be good news for the band slated to open for them:Cattle Decapitation." THE ONLY THING KEEPING CATTLE DECAPITATION FROM DOING THIS TOUR IS IF WE WERE BEHEADED OURSELVES! Don't believe the hype... see you all next month, check out the shows section for tour dates!!!

*Cattle Decap will be hanging out and destroying the jukebox with a few of the songs off of the new album Humanure and will then sit down to sign posters, CD's, or pics. After the signing is over there will be a FREE BBQ for all that attend that will include veggie dogs, veggie burgers, and sodas for everyone!

INTO THE MOAT Update from Matthew:
"We regret to inform everyone that, unfortunately, we will not be able to tour this summer. A week ago, a certain booking agency that will remain nameless (but are in a great band) completely screwed us over in more ways than they can understand, They left us with about 2 weeks to book an entire tour on our own. Derek of From A Second Story Window, to no personal gain, over took this task of helping Psyopus and us with the shows. We did not have enough time for the label to help us out with a van to tour in; therefore, we are stuck in this god-forsaken state. We apologize more than words can express to the following people: our fans, we will be back on the road when the new records comes out in January, and this time we will be going everywhere and not stopping for a long time, Psyopus, we were really looking forward to this tour, good luck with it, we must go out together eventually, Derek, and Guy, thank you so much for your help, we love you and hope there are no hard feelings. Also, thank you much to our web guy, Rob, for helping us post show info so quickly on the site. I hope everyone can understand that this is no one's fault except the booking agency. I hope that everyone can understand the position we are in. We are going to spend the summer finishing up writing and recording the new record. Take Care."

CALLENISH CIRCLE to release re-issue of their pre-Metal Blade history!
Holland's premiere Death/Thrash-formation Callenish Circle will re-issue their complete pre Metal Blade Records history on a 2-CD!!! The 2-CD is entitled 'Forbidden Empathy' and the release-date is set on the 20th of September through Karmageddon Media. Brand new cover-artwork was designed by Swedish art-wizard Niklas Sundin @ Cabin Fever Media (a.o. In Flames, Arch Enemy, And Dark Tranquility).

All recordings were digitally re-mastered by Berthus Westerhuis at Franky's Recording Kitchen in Holland.

Official statement from the band:
"Good news... Callenish Circle celebrates its 12th birthday soon and since most fans only know us from our 2 recent albums (Flesh_Power_Dominion & My Passion//Your Pain, both released on Metal Blade Records) we thought the time was finally there to collect all our ancient material and re-release it as 2-CD on a descent record label with a proper distribution-network. The 2-CD will be sold for a fan-friendly price of a regular CD, so everybody who's interested in our musical history can get all our previous recordings at once for a fair price. Furthermore we are working on new material and our new (5th) studio-album is to be expected in 2005 on Metal Blade Records again."

"All in all, we have approx. 50 minutes of CATARACT in its purest form. Everybody that doesn't know us yet gets a good introduction to the CATARACT-collective. For everybody else: Stay true and enjoy! With this DVD we want to introduce ourselves to the world. Live, raw and no fake bullshit. It's all real, its all us. Love it or leave it. It's our hearts and our love."

Neal Morse one of the 100 Greatest Frontmen by Classic Rock Magazine!
Neal Morse was voted the #100 Greatest Frontman in Classic Rock Magazine's July issue. "The erstwhile leader of Spock's Beard, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Neal Morse gave much-needed impetus to the progressive rock scene with that band's debut "The Light" in 1995. He later took his psychedelic influences and penchants for spiritual lyrics to the all-star Transatlantic. He's now a solo artist, after quitting Spock's Beard on religious grounds."
