SLAYER‘s latest album, “World Painted Blood”, was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. The CD was produced by Greg Fidelman, who’s spent time in the studio with METALLICA, THE GOSSIP, THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY, SLIPKNOT and others, and executive-produced by longtime SLAYER colleague Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project.
The CD initially shipped with four special collector’s edition covers. Each of the four covers displayed one-fourth of a provocative continental map illustrated with human skulls and bones; when placed together, the four images form a complete and grisly map of the world. All four of the initial album packages included a special blood-red, see-through top panel with the map displayed beneath it.
SLAYER‘s track “Hate Worldwide” was nominated for a Grammy Award in the “Best Metal Performance” category. The award eventually went to British heavy metal legends JUDAS PRIEST, who were honored for the track “Dissident Aggressor”, from the band’s 2009 live album“A Touch of Evil: Live”.

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH INVOLVED IN WILD PARKING LOT BRAWL LAST WEEKEND
And Hell Followed With - 28 Days Latour
Detroit deathcore artists, AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH were involved in a wild brawl last weekend outside of a venue in Spokane, WA. AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH guitarist, Kyle McIlmurray recalls the scene:
“There was some drunk guy pushing kids around. The guy was clearly belligerent and getting really dangerous so one of the bands went to inform the club owner of what was going on with this dude. Instead of immediate action against the drunk guy, the band gets an earful about how unprofessional they’re being and find out that the guy is a friend of the owner. Of course our pals in the band aren’t going to sit down and take this so during one of their song breaks, the singer went on a long rant about the owner and his own unprofessionalism. Finally, after the band finished, the owner came up on stage and announced that if anyone wants to buy the band’s mercy, they had better do it right then, because they were being kicked out of the club in 15 minutes. In fact there was a crew of gutter punks that the owner called whom were stirring up shit outside while waiting to go and kick out the band.
So while these crustys are causing a ruckus outside, one of the guys in the last band gave me a call and said “hey, we’ve got spray paint all over the side of our trailer.” It sucks for them because their van is white and that’s going to take a lot of work to get out. Of course these idiots had to tag it up with the name of their crew, so it made them pretty easy to ID once we found one of them tagging a wall with the same thing around the corner.
Once we find the guy, we make him lead us to his equally dirty crewmates who start talking shit to our faces. At this point, we were joined by some of our friends in the other bands who were really getting tired of these assholes running their mouths. When they finally took it a step too far and started to threaten and spit at us, that’s when our singer Ryan stepped in. He walked right up to the lead guy and punched him in the face. From there, it was on! It looked like some sort of wrestling brawl only it was real and we had the upper hand. These gutter punks decided to runtier mouths at the wrong group of pissed off metal dudes. None of us on the tour are really violent bands, but if you’re going to keep spitting in our face and talking shit, you have to be dealt with somehow and that’s exactly what we did.
In the end, we put a beatdown on the crustys and taught them not to screw with us. None of us suffered much major damage except for Ryan, who busted up one of his knuckles on that one guy’s face. We also made sure to tell our manager, our booking agent and the show’s promoter (who was real cool about everything and had nothing to do with what happened that night) that we will never play that venue again.”
Catch AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH on a US tour that sees the band spread their brand of Murder City mayhem on select solo dates in Texas before joiningKNIGHTS OF THE ABYSS, BURNING THE MASSES and THOSE WHO LIE BENEATH on the 28 Days Latour. The band’s string of dates will culminate in a number of hometown CD release shows to celebrate the debut of their forthcoming release, PROPRIOCEPTION.

AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH SHOW SHUT DOWN BY POLICE
And Hell Followed With - 28 Days Latour
On last weekend’s Whittier, CA date of the 28 Days Latour, Detroit deathcore act AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH were sadly unable to unleash their brand of Murder City mayhem as they normally do because the show was shut down by the police before the band had even played a note. “A local band started playing and at some point during their set, the cops came in shut the show down;” said AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH guitarist, Kyle McIlmurray. “We think it had to do something about the venue not having an entertainment permit, but we like to joke that it was because the show was too heavy for the place to handle.”
Saturday’s show, originally slated to be held in a different venue at a nearby location was moved due to the original venue’s sudden closing. Despite the circumstances, Kyle and the rest of his band seemed to take it all as a very pleasant experience. “It was good to be hanging around such professionals. The promoter was cool about it all and took care of us and once everything was handled, we were just stoked to be able to hang around Hollywood with the other bands. They’re all good guys so it was a fun night out. We all just went and made the best of it with them.”

WITHERED To Debut New Material At Atlanta Show
Georgia-based blackened doomsters WITHERED will debut material from their recently completed new album, “Dualitas”, on Friday, June 18 at The Drunken Unicorn in Atlanta. Also scheduled to appear are CLINGING TO THE TREES OF A FOREST FIRE, DEATH OF KINGS and DEAD IN THE DIRT.
In a recent interview with Spinner, WITHERED guitarist/vocalist Mike Thompson stated about the band’s forthcoming third CD, “Fans can expect a continuation from our last album. The last album, ‘Folie Circulaire’, the title translates to cycling madness. We used that term and the loose concept for the album to illustrate all the mistakes humanity makes. Culturally, socially, everything that has been inhibiting us as a species. Basically, everything that’s wrong with it and how we’re continually repeating the same mistakes generation by generation to varying degrees. And, that we’re not making any progress or emotional, spiritual growth. People have a lack of personal discovery. All the social conditioning that goes on, especially in America, we’re pretty guilty of that. The whole convenience approach: life needs to be easier, simpler, lazier. That’s what’s been detrimental to our progress. That’s where we began with the last record conceptually and we’re going to use as basis and continue off of. The new record deals with moral and spiritual dualities. It’s more about exploring yourself. Isolating yourself mentally and emotionally and being able to break down barriers you have so you can conceptually understand any possible perspective. It’s more about forcing yourself to be honest so you have a healthy spiritual path and you can make more emotional discoveries about yourself.”

OVERKILL Rocks Times Square Despite Bomb Threat
Elliot Levin of the New York Hard Rock Examiner reports: “Hordes of metalheads were among the thousands of New Yorkers crowding the barricaded Times Square last night [Saturday, May 1], as a failed car bomb prevented access to the OVERKILL-headlined concert at the Nokia Theater.
“A car bomb, which authorities are calling ‘amateurish,’ caught fire, but failed to explode around 6:30 p.m. in the heart of Times Square, literally around the corner from the Nokia Theater, located at Broadway and 44th Street. Within an hour, the entire area was cordoned off from 43rd St. til 48th, and from 7th Ave through 8th. Traffic quickly became a gridlocked nightmare, and police, for the most part, refused to allow concert-goers and others close enough to get into the theater.”
