Commented guitarist Eyal Levi: "I hate music videos. Always have. There's been a few exceptions over the years like the old TOOL videos orWHITE STRIPES videos but for the most part they suck. Especially metal videos. How many times can we watch a group of burly dudes throwing down in a warehouse or abandoned building? With this video, that was the LAST thing I wanted for us.
"I set out to find a team that would give us an actual work of art which could be watched and enjoyed regardless of the music. We ended up withRobin Fuller directing. We chose him because of his amazing animation skills and overall enthusiasm for the vision.
"The vision was to have a video shot in the style of a Frank Miller film ('Sin City') and have those shots interwoven with the art and design thatJorden Haley has created for us with [the new DAATH album] 'The Concealers'.

DIRTFEDD SET TO RELEASE THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE ON JUNE 2ND, 2009
DIRTFEDD SET TO RELEASE THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE
ON JUNE 2ND, 2009
ALBUM PRODUCED BY M. SHAWN CRAHAN (CLOWN)
FROM SLIPKNOT
DIRTFEDD CURRENTLY ON TOUR WITH SLIPKNOT, KORN, AND DEVILDRIVER
(May 12, 2009) – New York, NY – E1 Music is set to release heavy metal band Dirtfedd’s debut album, The American Nightmare, on June 2nd, 2009.
The album was produced by M. Shawn Crahan (Clown) from Slipknot. Crahan discovered the Lincoln, Nebraska band and describes the music as “right here right now.” He goes on to express his excitement at working with the new band, “They are from the Midwest, which gives them a big advantage in how to shape their own vision, rather than get caught up in clichéd scenes…I personally cannot wait until we give this art to the world. It's time things change.”
The album includes the tracks “Body Bag,” “No One Gets Left Behind,” and the live show favorite and radio single “Salute.” Metal bibleRevolver Magazine says “...the group alternates between galloping metalcore and groovy shake-your-fanny rawk, but what really sets the band apart is their tasteful use of melody.”
Dirtfedd just began s a U.S. tour with metal juggernauts Slipknot, Korn and Dirtfedd in Oklahoma City, OK on May 8th and will tour throughout the summer.
Killswitch Engage Announce Album Title and Release Date
New York, NY: Massachusetts' finest hard rock purveyors, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, have announced the title for their eagerly anticipated fourth album for Roadrunner Records. The title is Killswitch Engage. The album, produced by Brendan O'Brien (AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine) and co-produced by guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, will hit stores on June 30.
Some of the working track titles for the album include "Reckoning," "The Forgotten," "Light in a Darkened World" and "Starting Over." Vocalist Howard Jones offered a little insight into Killswitch Engage, saying, “It was time for us to step outside of our comfort zone and try something a little different with this record. It definitely still sounds like us, but we needed to be refreshed and take things a little further." The singer also comments on the album being the band's second self-titled effort of its career, saying, "When we all couldn’t agree on an album title, someone suggested we just keep it self-titled and we all pretty much agreed…gives it the feeling of a fresh new beginning."
Killswitch Engage have been playing the tentatively titled "Light in a Darkened World" during their set on the Music As A Weapon Tour, where they are serving as main support to Disturbed. The band also performed the song as the opening act of the first annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards, which were held on Tuesday, April 7 in Los Angeles. The song, sandwiched between "My Curse" and the band's uniquely Killswitch'ed cover of Dio's classic anthem "Holy Diver," generated plenty of excitement among the crowd and set the tone for the show. The awards and KsE's performance will be broadcast on MTV2 on May 2.
The band will spend the summer touring as a main stage attraction on the second annual Rockstar Energy Mayhem Fest. Jones also commented on the upcoming tour, saying, "We are excited and thrilled to share the stage this summer with Bullet For My Valentine, Slayer and Marilyn Manson. We hope to entertain and enjoy our time interacting with both old friends and new friends daily. Prepare yourself for laughs, riffs and the unexpected. We will do all we can to make you move, yell and ponder who made the mistake of letting us onstage. You have been warned. Oh, and watch new episodes of The Office."
MUNICIPAL WASTE REPORT FROM U.S. TOUR WITH LAMB OF GOD Straight out of the studio where Virginian thrashers MUNICIPAL WASTE have just finished recording their fourth, "most dynamic and rounded record yet" with producer ZEUSS (MADBALL, HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL, UNEARTH) – the WASTE hit the road for a six week US tour with LAMB OF GOD, AS I LAY DYING, CHILDREN OF BODOM and GOD FORBID.
MUNICIPAL WASTE completed work on their new album, MASSIVE AGGRESSIVE, in Virginia last week, and now TONY FORESTA (vocals) grabs a breath to catch up with what its been like:
"The past week has been a real whirlwind for the Waste. Last Tuesday we finished mixing our new album up in Massachusetts then jumped on a plane to Arizona the following morning to start our 6 week tour with Lamb of God."
Never a band to think twice about getting back on the road and breaking faces, FORESTA continues:
"The shows have been a lot of fun and the crowd have been really receptive towards us even though most of them have no idea who we are! The crowds have been massive. We have also been playing some new songs and the response to those has been really good. It's also great to be playing with our good friends Suicidal Tendencies again. They have been killing it every night on stage and have been a lot of fun to hang with after the gigs as well."

OCEANO - DEPTHS ARRIVES TOMORROW IN NORTH AMERICA Since mid-2008 OCEANO has run the gamut from ire to misfortune, to excitement and back again. Stories of gory photos, lineup changes and vanflips have become the foundation which have catapulted the 5 Chicago deathcore heavyweights to the top of the MySpace death metal charts, high debuts on national radio charts and last but not least, Billboard magazine. Tomorrow, April 7th is the time when everything comes together. It is the day when their debut album, DEPTHSfinally hits North American stores.
DEPTHS is an album that hits hard from track 1 to track 15. Featuring the hit single, "District of Misery," alongside such bone crushing songs like "Samael the Destroyer,""Plague Campaign" and the cult favorite instrumental, "Depths," this is one album that does not let up. Even the "Into The Depths" bonus DVD is filled with so much raw intensity that you will have to destroy whatever is in sight. It's been called "the angriest, most pissed off deathcore album on the planet" for good reason and you can finally experience what its all about tomorrow.
Here's what the press have said about DEPTHS:
"OCEANO's mysteriously brutish grace will prove impossible to resist." - All Music Guide
"DEPTHSis unsparing in its attack." - 3.5 Stars - Revolver
"Their debut, DEPTHS earns its name." - Decibel
"Explodes with cookie-monster vocals, meatgrinding riffs and more breakdowns than you can shake a fist at." - Guitar World
Track listing:
01 Descent 02 Inhuman Aflication 03 A Mandatory Sacrifice 04 Samael The Destroyer 05 Fractured Frames, Scattered Flesh 06 Disgust For Your Kind 07 Depths 08 District Of Misery* 09 With Legions... 10 Slaughtered Like Swine 11 Empathy For Leviathan 12 Plague Campaign 13 Abysm 14 Involuntary Demoralization** 15 Orificial Execution**
Shot last month in Los Angeles, CA, "District of Misery" was directed by Patrick Guera (DIFFICULT HENRY, HARD ECHO) and produced by Brian Thompson atThe Vault LA (MUNICIPAL WASTE, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS I LAY DYING), the video was shot in a converted LA warehouse and will see OCEANO playing the song alongside a twisted photographic interpretation of each lyrical line as it is growled.
In the April 4th edition of Billboard magazine, OCEANO was featured in the "Happening Now" section devoted to artists on the rise. In the sizable piece,Billboard writer Christa Titus explored the circumstances surrounding OCEANO becoming one of the most hotly buzzed young metal bands today. The feature also includes quotes from OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail and EARACHE U.S. Label Manager, Al Dawson who go beyond the hype and prove that beneath the angry exterior lies a hard working and extremely talented band who've earned every bit of buzz that has followed them. OCEANO's "Happening Now" feature can be seen in full here: http://earache.com/archive/oceano/Billboard_Apr409_HappeningNow.jpg
OCEANO's official MySpace page was recently relaunched with a brand new design, brand new videos, links, photos and more. See it for yourself at http://www.myspace.com/xoceano

Arsis guitarist explains tour cancellation ARSIS guitarist Jim Malone has sent in this update:
"I owe more than a few people an apology at this time.
Over the past few months ARSIS has had to drop off two tours and the fault lies on my shoulders. Those who know me know that moderation is a concept that I am not familiar with. Ever since my late teens, I have moved from one self-destructive behavior to another and it has finally taken its toll on my body and mind. I seem to take everything I do to an unhealthy extreme. This leads us to the reason for dropping off tours with both The Faceless and Carcass.
Without going into too many details, let’s just say that there is no healthy way lose 100 pounds in 4 months, as I did late last year. To say that I have been dealing with some issues would be an understatement. These issues have not only affected the basic functions of my body, but also my mood and ability to make rational decisions. Fortunately, I have many supportive people in my life and I have been taking strides to get things back under control. I have been making my best effort as of late and I feel stronger everyday. I think I will come out this a wiser person and be able to run my life better than ever.
Look for ARSIS to be back on the road soon with a possible headliner to make up for lost time. My apologies to our booking agent, our record label, our fans, and anyone who has been effected by my poor decisions."

Search now with songs... We have made it a lot easier to find local music on ATLmetal.com. Now, when you search for a band their total number of active songs is listed next to their band name. For example, if one was searching for bands within the "Death Metal" genre, for each band found, that bands total number of active songs in their profile will be displayed next to their band name. This makes things a lot easier when trying to find new local music on ATLmetal.com.
This obviously doesn't have anything to do with Atl Metal but thought it was cool as hell so I wanted to write about it. My fiancee and I went to Zoo Atlanta today. I got a lot of cool photos as you can see from the picture above. If you have not been to Zoo Atl you should go check it out. My personal favorites are the Tiger and Gorilla Habitats. Anyways, here is the link to the Zoo ATL photo gallery i put together Zoo Atlanta Photo Gallery enjoy.
