Megaherz in „Second Life" New Song online: "Fauler Zauber" (cheap trick) is a critical examination of the religion topic. The belief in god is a private decision for each to decide, but when other belief in god wants is imposed on others in "god's name" this is a cheap trick. It does not matter if it is the war on evil from the west or suicide bombers in the east, God is not what they think about, God is not on their side. God is not a cheap trick. Megaherz in german goth mags: New Tourdates: FILTER TREK WITH SPECIAL GUESTS 10 YEARS KICKS OFF JUNE 12 On the heels of the release of their compelling new album ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED (Pulse Recordings) which debuts on the Billboard Indie album chart at #2 this week, FILTER has announced U.S. tour dates with special guests 10 Years, kicking off June 12. The band's current leg of dates--their first tour in nearly six years--included a slot this past weekend at Columbus, Ohio's "Rock on the Range" music festival. On the road, FILTER will perform songs from the new album—including the first single and video "Soldiers of Misfortune," hailed by the New York Post as a "soaring and emotional song"—with the band's classics like "Hey Man Nice Shot" and "Take A Picture." PATRICK calls ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED his "howl in the night," a harsh indictment of civilization that doesn't exclude himself from its vision of a world falling apart. Pointed and passionate, the new album traces PATRICK's own anger and shame with the state of things. It was produced by Josh Abraham (Slayer, 30 Seconds to Mars, Velvet Revolver, Staind, Courtney Love) and recorded in Los Angeles. Here are some initial critical thoughts on ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED: FILTER's tour dates are as follows: International Dates SCUM OF THE EARTH - confirmed tour dates May 20, 2008 SCUM OF THE EARTH, featuring former long-time Rob Zombie guitarist RIGGS are currently on tour in support of their new album entitled SLEAZE FREAK (Eclipse Records), the band's first studio album of all-new material since the critically-acclaimed debut Blah…Blah…Blah…Love Songs For The New Millennium released in 2004. Supporting SCUM OF THE EARTH on dates through 6/12 are Ekotren, and Rikets. CONFIRMED DATES: http://www.eclipserecords.com/scumoftheearth ARCHER: Scorching Hard Rock It's about time. After the calculated hair band years, followed by dour grunge, then formulaic emo-screamo, true metal is back, led by a new generation of hard rockers, with Santa Cruz's Archer at the forefront. Formed earlier this decade, this real deal power trio features singer-guitarist Dylan, bassist Isaiah and drummer Jimmy, unleashing full fury and cathartic celebration with raw gusto combined with ever-growing musicianship on stage. The young outfit has already earned Best Local Band honors in 2008 as well as the Metro Santa Cruz Goldies Award, as the newspaper proclaimed, "Archer could realistically incite the attention of a major record label and subsequently become objects of a renewed interest in classic metal." Radio is raving as well: Kenny Allen, Program Director at KHIP-FM (104.3 The Hippo) in Monterey, Calif. said, "If you want to see what a real rock show looks like, check out Archer...a trio of talent that will rock your world!" European press is also taking notice and Heavy-Metal-Rock magazine's site said, "This exceptional band shows in an impressive way how to combine traditional heavy-metal with modern influences; their music is loaded with brilliant ideas." Both Dylan and Isaiah come from musical families: Dylan's father is a former musician in the guitar industry while Isaiah's father, Vince Black, is a world-renowned reggae guitarist with punk credentials as well and introduced his son to music at an early age. "We really grew up with music," Dylan says. "I got sucked in when I was about 11 and started playing guitar." Archer had its beginnings when Dylan and Isaiah were in high school, forming a group that mostly played cover songs of their heroes, including Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix and Van Halen band's Archer still covers with full exuberance during their more extended shows. Initially, another singer was involved, but with his departure, Dylan stepped up to the mike. "We really forced him to sing," Isaiah says. "When I tried to sing, I sounded like a pre-pubescent boy; Dylan had the best voice for it and he keeps getting better and better" Archer's debut album Doom$day Profit$ is a genuine tour-de-force, rich with powerful songs imbued with that essential combination of brain-burrowing melodies, ripping riffs, pulsing basslines, tsunami drums and grab-by-the-throat vocals. Citing influences that include Ozzy and Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica and other legendary names, the group sums it up on their myspace page (myspace.com/archer) as "Shred Zeppelin!" Archer studio finesse and stage prowess has already led to endorsement partnerships with major music companies, including Epiphone guitars, Gibson strings and Steph straps. The group is already receiving global attention, from the Tokyo guitar show in Japan to invitations to play at the Sweden Rock and Bang Your Head festivals. As songwriters, the band shows incredible maturity for a new outfit. On the album, there's darkness and light with both probing and playful moments, from the evocative then, full-bore "Man Who Knows All" to the hammering yet sly "Brewtality" and grinding witchery of "Van Salem." "Songs are a group effort in the end," Dylan says. "Isaiah and I will write a riff, usually the lyrics come second, though every once in a while we'll come up with cool phrase or lyric and then jump off of that. Isaiah and I have found it's best to work wide open. There's no 'I wrote this, I wrote that.'" "It's not like Megadeth with a lead singer-guitar player coming in with every single tune," Isaiah says. "Some songs will go in with one riff or idea or tempo and just go off from there. With a song like "Trusting in Faith," Dylan came in with the bulk of the song finished and we filled in the gaps. Each song has its own personality." Two of the boys' favorite tracks are the epic "Trusting" and "Pride Before The Fall," which both receive tremendous response live. "We've been closing with "Trusting in Fate" for years now," Dylan says. "We want to be really heavy, but not lose sight of certain melodic aspects," while Isaiah comments "It's very complete with a dynamic range it starts out really mellow then builds up very big only to drop out for another dramatic buildup to the end like a classic song. The dynamics of any song are essential and can take someone to pure ecstasy even if you play the same exact three chords -- it's purely emotional." And then there's "Pride," with a key lyric line that inspired the album's title. In contrast, there is "Andrea," which Isaiah jokingly calls "The black sheep of the album. We pay homage to Van Halen, with classic shredding, the drum riff and all, while trying to do our own thing." While Archer is taking its music and career to the next level, each player has interests outside of the band. Dylan teaches guitar to students ranging from young kids to adults. "I just, for instance, picked up new students, and say "you've got to check out my band.' It's fun -- all these kids want to learn to play Metallica, from six years old or 20, and they're all enthusiastic and it keeps my passion level up." And what happens when Archer gets bigger? Will he drop teaching? "Naw, I'll just have to charge more," he jokes. Isaiah, on the other hand, has an insatiable curiosity about the world at large, from politics to religion to other cultures and anticipates the rewards of interacting with young people in other countries as the band sets its sights on touring all over the world. And then there's new drummer Jimmy, who, in typical deadpan fashion says he got into it all to "get women" and he's..."doing alright." But of course! Like typical guys their age, the trio likes to hang out with friends, chase girls, and go out from time to time, just as long as it doesn't interfere with what the band has going on. Already having performed with some of the biggest names in rock including, Heaven and Hell, Heart and Sevendust, the band's looking forward to sharing the stage at the Sweden Rock Festival this summer alongside their heroes such as Judas Priest, Def Leppard, Triumph, Saxon and many more as they take the opportunity to return to Europe, especially Germany, where they found new fans and plenty of support. "We want to get the ball rolling more and build on all that credibility," Isaiah says. Meanwhile, Archer is garnering cross-generational fans wherever they play. "It's pretty eclectic," Isaiah says. "When we play bars, roadhouses, it's mostly bikers and an older crowd for sure and they love what we play, they love the sound. There's just enough of the old that they can latch on to it, with lots of the new for an audience that's more our age." "That's what we grew up loving all those greats band but it has to evolve in some way," Dylan adds. "That's what we're trying to do. We would love to see this genre be as big as it was before and we're having a great time with it." "We're reigniting the flame for a new generation of classic metal," Isaiah says, "paying homage, while giving it a new sound as well." http://www.Archernation.com, http://www.myspace.com/archer White Lion are touring across Europe next month, supported by Crimes of Passion. The dates are: White Lion initially left it¹s mark in the late 80¹s with a series of hit singles and video¹s that defined the MTV generation, thanks to the likes of ³Wait², ³When The Children Cry², ³Tell Me², ³Broken Heart² and ³Little Fighter². But equally so, the band was also recognised for it¹s signature album tracks that transcended soci-policital themes such as ³Lady Of The Valley², ³Cry For Freedom², ³Lights And Thunder² and ³Warsong². If recent stand out performances alongside some of the biggest names in rock at the Gods Of Metal, Sweden Rock and Rocklahoma festivals isn¹t testimony enough, then new album ³Return Of The Pride² will surely once again assert White Lion as a legitimate musical force. The first White Lion record in over 16 years , ³Return Of The Pride² is put simply, classic rock in it¹s truest form and a representation of the musical influences that have attached themselves over time² declares lead singer Mike Tramp. Recorded during 2007 in both Australia and Copenhagen and in between touring commitments, ³Return Of The Pride² kicks off with ³Sangre de Cristo², a thunderous epic that ventures into lyrical and musical territories best heard, than described. ³Battle At Little Bighorn² is the album¹s other soaring epic, a musical re-enactment of one of Native America¹s most significant historical event¹s, Custer¹s Last Stand. Hook laden rockers such as ³Dream², ³Live Your Life² and ³Finally See The Light² maintain a positive musical and lyrical vibe throughout the album, whereas ³Gonna Do It My Way² and ³Let Me Be Me² are the modern day ³Livin On The Edge² songs of rebellion. Produced by Mike Tramp and bassist Claus Langeskov, Tramp says of the album¹s title: ³Return Of The Pride² could be interpreted in many ways. In a musical sense we have taken a step back in time, rather than a step forward in time. Over the course of this album lyrically and musically many concepts and themes have been explored, maybe ³Return Of The Pride² means something entirely different². The band features what is now a truly international line-up of musicians handpicked by Mike himself. ³We are not interested in fixing what isn¹t broke. Our mission is simple, to bring the classic sound of White Lion to the people across the world that still live for that music². MICKEY HART BAND FEATURING STEVE KIMOCK AND GEORGE PORTER JR.

We discovered that the DeLeos are not only incredibly professional and extremely talented, but they're also just phenomenal people. They really know their shit about rock n' roll." BILLY BOY played a show on May 3 at Concerts in the Park in San Diego with Unwritten Law and The Vandals. "We got to play an outdoor show with one of our idol bands, The Vandals, in San Diego.

For more info, please visit: MONGREL MARKS ITS TERRITORY WITH 'FEAR, LIES, AND PROPAGANDA'Rock n' roll circa 2008 is becoming an increasingly predictable affair. So whenever a new band comes along that refuses to be aligned to a single style, it certainly makes the ears perk up. Case in point, the eastern Massachusetts-based quintet, Mongrel. Freshly signed to Screaming Ferret Wreckords, the lads which includes singer Drew Barker, guitarists Adam Savage and Andrew X, bassist Rev, and drummer Ed Loguercio are aiming to leave their mark with a newly re-released version of their debut full-length, 'Fear, Lies, and Propaganda.' "Recording 'Fear, Lies, & Propaganda' was a very busy but rewarding time," recalls the group's leader and main songwriter, Savage. "Mongrel doesn't really know how to take time off, so during the period of time we were recording, mixing, mastering, we were also playing 6-10 shows a month as well. Our nights off from shows more often than not meant an afternoon and/or evening in the studio to do some tracking, over-dubs, or mixing whenever the studio was available over a couple months time. The great thing was that despite the busy schedule, no matter who was at the studio on a given night doing some work we always were productive and had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs, including our engineer." Balancing old school punk intensity and energy with hard rock hooks and riffs (and also including elements of grunge and metal), 'Fear, Lies, and Propaganda' captures a hungry, young rock band ready to take on the world, as evidenced by such standout tracks as "Bound to Crash," "Dyslexic Alchemist (Fucked it all Away)," "No Gods, No Masters," and especially "West Memphis Hell," the latter of which focuses on the highly controversial West Memphis 3 case (on which the 'Paradise Lost' documentaries were based). But the album is only part of the equation, as a Mongrel concert is certainly an unforgettable experience, admits Savage. "Once we're on stage, it's no holds barred with the always possible risk of injury with 4 people up front in near constant motion. It's high energy, intense, and fun, interactive with the crowd, we love it when the crowd sings along and allows us to feed off that energy between the performance and the people up front. Fans can expect a band that is always willing to hang out and chat because we're all music fans too and are always eager to talk to the bands that we love so it is very important for us to interact with anyone who wants to at our shows." Despite 'Fear, Lies, and Propaganda' causing some major waves, Mongrel is already keeping an eye on their future. "We are looking to tour more extensively both here in the US and with any luck in Europe as well. We are looking to record and release our next full-length album within the next year, with most of it already written and tested out live. Continuing to build upon our strong work ethic and strong connection with our fans, spreading the word, getting more media exposure, and hopefully never resorting to using the cliché 'Our new album is heavier yet more melodic'."

Solid State Records metal/rock outfit Inhale/Exhale will be recording a new video on May 17th for the song It’s Myself Vs. Being A Man. The video for the song which appears on the band’s upcoming album I Swear… is being directed by Endeavor Media who have filmed videos for The Devil Wears Prada and August Burns Red. Guitarist John La Russa commented “Endeavor is going to do some cool stuff with the film, and they are going to do some different stuff with lighting. I think all of us might do a little bit of acting in it but there's going to be a lot of casting for the video.†The whole theme is about betrayal and broken promises, same as the album. Artistically, it will be grainy and will contain a lot of angular shots. The video will be dark, but beautifully dark.†The song It’s Myself vs. Being a Man is now available for download exclusively through iTunes. The band has also posted the song I Needed a Spaceship (Instead I Got Problems) on their myspace page, which is the first track from the new album.

But when he sat down to develop ideas for the new FILTER record, the war was at the forefront of his mind. And when it came time to create a video for the song, PATRICK collaborated with director Evan Lane to convey the song's sentiments with gritty and powerful images. "This song is a pro-troops, anti war song and the video shows how this country is being consumed by its need for oil," says PATRICK. The new video will premiere exclusively on Yahoo! Music on Monday, May 12 at midnight EDT. The band recently shot the video in Los Angeles before embarking on their tour across the U.S. and Europe. A bleak and forceful statement about the war, the "Soldiers of Misfortune" clip alternates between live performance visuals of FILTER--with oil dripping over them throughout--and images of American flags, purple hearts and soldiers all being swallowed up and destroyed by oil. Beyond that, viewers see burning money and newspapers with headlines straight off the presses and bloody body parts. It was created as an homage to "the young men and women serving this country and who are dying in Iraq for a war based on oil" according to PATRICK who recently performed for the troops in Kuwait as part of the Operation MySpace concert. As they tour the country, FILTER will head to New York City for a May 13 record release party/performance at the Mercury Lounge. Go to http://www.officialfilter.com and http://www.myspace.com/filter1 for the latest updates on Filter.

Every contradiction in the world comes into your head. They are utterly, totally unique - which in these days of post post- ironic irony recycling and tiredness should be enough to make them part of your life. Yes, every band cliché is turned on its head with Cardiacs: don't bands get tired and repetitive after a few years - or at least sell out? Cardiacs are writing stuff that takes our breath away and breaks new ground 20 odd years after their first, home made single. They write tightly structured, often intricate tracks that make musicians worship them. A Cardiacs gig generates the wildest moshpits you'll ever see, mad sweaty people of a bewildering cross-section of ages and musical tastes bouncing up and down in time to twists and turns, wrecking to To Go Off And Things (a total thrash-out that happens to be in 7/8 time), pogoing to the delirious ska of In A City Lining, just plain dancing to irresistible tunes... that's Tim Smith's secret, you see - tunes. Tunes you have to sing along to, even though (if you took them apart) they weren't quite as normal as pop tunes should be... Cardiacs have been described as: fairground music; punk rock; prog rock; beautiful; frightening; deadly serious; total euphoria; ugly; sexy; avant-garde; pop genius; totally genuine; disturbing; uplifting... Let's cut this attempt short, let's just say that they really are all things to all people. Just remember that a ridiculous number of their fans loathed them on first hearing, then (by some mysterious process that we're still unable to fathom) suddenly had to run to a record shop five years later to buy all their albums.

This is seriously rocked-out noise that succeeds wildly." ALL MUSIC GUIDE "Pride Tiger are obviously a band that has a lot going for them." ALICE COOPER "Vintage rock 'n' roll. Pride Tiger defies generation gaps to reclaim old-school rock, cowbells and all, and outright dare you not to have fun if you're within earshot." - OUTBURN PRIDE TIGER ANNOUNCES MORE U.S. DATES ** Former Members of 3 Inches Of Blood Out in Support of Their New Incarnation ** New York, NY, May 8 Vancouver rockers Pride Tiger -- who were recently nominated for a Juno Award for Rock Album Of The Year for their Caroline Records debut The Lucky Ones will go south of the border for seven more dates in the U.S. PRIDE TIGER TOUR DATES: Pride Tiger was formed by three former members of the highly respected, still-going-strong metal act 3 Inches of Blood and one member of hardcore band S.T.R.E.E.T.S. Going for an authentic sound in the Thin Lizzy-vein, the result was The Lucky Ones which was called "The best album of the year" by Sleazegrinder. Produced, engineered and mixed by Matt Hyde (Slayer, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu) the record modernizes the glorious 70's rock style resulting in 13 songs that are powerful, sweaty, hooky, suitably head-banging and one big party. No need to dress up or wash your hair. Songs like "Let Em Go," Long Way Down," "What It Is," "Fill Me In" and "Forget Everything" are all that's needed. Unsurprisingly an early adopter of Pride Tiger is rock legend Alice Cooper who has been spinning and supporting the band on his nationally syndicated radio show. Pride Tiger will soon unveil more national and international tour dates in support of The Lucky Ones. About Caroline Records: LOGGINS WINS MTV'S ROCK THE CRADLE CROWNLos Angeles, CA Singer-songwriter Crosby Loggins, son of pop rock legend Kenny Loggins, takes first place in MTV's nationally televised reality music competition, "ROCK THE CRADLE" . With his competition crown, Crosby wins $100,000 and is awarded a label recording contract. Finalists with Crosby were Chloe Latanzzi, daughter of Olivia Newton John, and Jesse Blaze Snider, son of Dee Snider. Tension was high when Latanzzi was eliminated, based upon the fewest votes from MTV's national television audience, leaving Crosby and Snider in mid stage. Since the competition began in March consisting of successful music industry stars' talented offspring, the program judges placed Crosby among the top performing artists each week. Now the votes by the nation-wide t.v. audience gives him top honors. You may view the finale show by visiting http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1587143&vid=221763 You may also visit Loggins at http://www.crosbyloggins.com OPIATE FOR THE MASSES DECLARE THEIR 21st CENTURY MANIFESTO 21st CENTURY TIME BOMB PREMIERING ON MYSPACE!New York – May 7, 2008 – OPIATE FOR THE MASSES have posted the new track “21st Century Time Bomb” on their MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/opiateforthemasses. This powerful, anthemic call to arms is the lead-off track on the group’s much anticipated new album, Manifesto, which is set for a July 8th release. Upon speaking about the song’s origin, Ron Underwood (vocals) states: “21st Century Time Bomb was one of the first songs that Jim and I worked on for Manifesto. The title is actually a direct quote from a Metal Edge article- they called Opiate ‘A 21st Century Time Bomb’ in a review. So we took that and ran with it; used it as a template for the song itself. The music had to be mechanical and militant, but brash like a guillotine- the soundtrack of a revolutionary uprising. The lyrics had to be the voice of the underdog lit to pop in the face of oppression. Who can't relate to that? Also to stay on course with the theme, we recorded the song at 120 beats per minute so that the back beat synchronizes with the second hand of a clock (for the time bomb effect) and it happens to be a good, fast marching tempo. I think it's the perfect opener for our new album Manifesto.” The first single “Burn You Down” will begin impacting Active Rock radio stations later this month as the band kick off their tour with Filter beginning on May 20th in Atlanta, Georgia. The band, along with acclaimed director David Brodsky (GWAR, Helmet) recently wrapped up shooting the video for “Burn You Down” in Los Angeles. Fans can look forward to a 30 second trailer for the video which will be finding its way on the bands MySpace page in the coming weeks. Manifesto was recorded by two Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producers: Ulrich Wild (Slipknot, Deftones) and John Travis (Kid Rock, Buckcherry) and will be released through Century Media Records on July 8th. The new offering is a propulsive mix of sheer hard rock aggression, soaring melodies and electronic experimentation that could be best described as Alice In Chains meets Nine Inch Nails. The group’s talents and determination are also well respected by their peers as Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) who states: “OPIATE FOR THE MASSES...I think they're going to be big.” Synyster Gates (Avenged Sevenfold) agrees: “This is the band to look out for in 2008. They are a great rock band with an edge, and certainly a must see live. They will f*ck you up.” Joey Jordison (Slipknot) further comments: “OPIATE FOR THE MASSES is nothing short of hypnotic. Tracks such as ‘21st Century Time Bomb,’ and the somber lull of ‘The Habit,’ make this new album a must have for fans of industrial, goth, metal and new wave.” Fans are also encouraged to check out an interview the band recently did with host, Meredith Molinari of Vlaze.com.

Guitarist Chris Stoffel states "We love the entire album. Its turning out so great we couldn't wait to release a track, so we put a rough mix up. It seems our sound has evolved quite a bit - we've gotten a lot heavier, and alot more over the top. But that’s exactly what we're going for. We've added a lot of keyboard parts in to most of the songs to thicken them up a bit. This is just the tip of the iceburg though! Wait until you hear the rest of the album." Fans can hear “Stoned to Doom” on the band’s myspace page located at http://www.myspace.com/shuddersome. “Nightmare Made Reality” is due out this summer on Open Grave Records. CROSBY LOGGINS ENTERS MTV'S ROCK THE CRADLE FINALS WITH HIGH SCORESLos Angeles, CA Singer-songwriter Crosby Loggins, son of pop rock legend Kenny Loggins, enters the final week of MTV's newest reality music competition, "ROCK THE CRADLE" with high scores. Since the competition began in March consisting of successful music industry stars' talented offspring, the program judges have placed Crosby among the top performing artists each week, last week receiving the highest score from the judges. Telephone votes by the t.v. audience have decided each week which performers would continue in the competition and who would be eliminated. Crosby is joined as a finalist by Chloe Lattanzi, the daughter of Olivia Newton John and Jesse Blaze Snider. the son of Dee Snider. The final program will air next Thursday May 8, 2008, at which time the "Rock the Cradle" competition winner will be announced. What the fans are saying about "Crosby Loggins: The Untouchable Good Guy": ABOUT CROSBY LOGGINS: Singer-songwriter and guitarist Crosby Loggins has been around music his entire life, and has been making it almost as long. His songs flow in a wave of soulful vocals and seamless musicianship and always hit their emotional mark. This authenticity, combined with his innate sense of when to let the music be graceful and spare and when to propel it powerfully forward, is Loggins' artistic signature. The name has a ring of familiarity, pointing to his legacy as the eldest son of GRAMMY®-winning pop/rock/soundtrack legend Kenny Loggins. Growing up in Santa Barbara, Crosby had the opportunity to first experience music through an extraordinary circle of artists that included Jackson Browne, Graham Nash, Michael McDonald and Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket), among others. "I always loved being around them," says Crosby, "but dad was just dad. It was the other musicians who were a huge deal to me. I respected and admired them so much, even though I had no real concept of their celebrity at that age." We All Go Home, the debut album from Crosby Loggins and The Light, is an eloquent statement of Loggins' emerging vision. Featuring Crosby on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, the disc's 12 songs also spotlight a stellar group of musicians he met through the creatively rich music scenes in Ojai and Ventura, California. Their musical and vocal synergy inspires his work, creating a timeless appeal and a genre-skipping sensibility that intersect effortlessly. Crosby co-produced We All Go Home with multi-instrumentalist Jesse Siebenberg, who is featured on electric and acoustic guitars, lap steel, dobro, percussion and more. Something of a prodigy, Jesse has played stadium shows with Supertramp (his father is the group's drummer, Bob Siebenberg) since he was 16. In the more intimate atmosphere of Loggins' music his talents shine. Paul Cartwright's virtuoso string playing expands the music's boundaries. His roots in Bakersfield, California led Loggins to drummer Jared Pope, bassist Forest Williams and keyboardist Dennis Hamm, who anchored Bakersfield's funk-fusion phenomenon Mother Funk Conspiracy. They round out The Light's line-up. Stand-out tracks include the searching album opener "Good Enough," which Crosby originally penned alone and later reinvigorated with the help of Siebenberg and Hamm and the infectiously hooked "Always Catching Up," a favorite of Crosby's written with his sister, Bella. "Angel of Mercy" is layered with the hushed soul and confessional narrative of an early Jackson Browne song. Other highlights include the title track, a number whose soulful lyrics and lilting, gospel-inflected melody make it hard to believe Crosby wrote it when he was 18. On other ranges of the spectrum, the dense, rhythmic "Wanna Be You" puts the Mother Funk alums front and center and "March On, America" lends an activist voice and quiet patriotism to Loggins' thoughtful body of work. The Siebenberg penned "Here She Comes" bears a resemblance to the buoyant pop flow of Marshall Crenshaw. The album closer, "Same Old Song (La, La, La)" is a testament to Loggins' naturally elegant less-is-more inclinations. We All Go Home is the first new artist release to come out on the label arm of J&R Adventures, the entertainment company that rock-blues star/guitar virtuoso Joe Bonamassa formed with his longtime manager and business partner Roy Weisman. Joe and Roy's vision for the company is to build a family of authentic performing artists in the spirit of Motown's early years, but across diverse genres with artistic integrity as the unifying thread. They saw Crosby Loggins as an ideal fit for J&R's growth. He will tour extensively with Joe this year opening shows with a solo acoustic set. Crosby recalls when he and Joe first met on the road in 2007 and launched into conversations that touched on various music icons including producer, Tom Dowd. The mention of this industry legend helped reveal the depths of their like-minded passions and sensibilities. "Immediately", said Crosby, "we connected on all kinds of performers that were important to us, and what music really means to us. It was a perfect match." The release of Loggins' debut album, We All Go Home, continues this artistic dialogue. Crosby Loggins will play over one hundred dates with Bonamassa in the U.S. and Europe through early 2008. He will also begin touring as a headliner, including dates with his band The Light.

Archer's debut album Doom$day Profit$ is a genuine tour-de-force, rich with powerful songs imbued with that essential combination of brain-burrowing melodies, ripping riffs, pulsing basslines, tsunami drums and grab-by-the-throat vocals. Citing influences that include Ozzy and Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica and other legendary names, the group sums it up on their myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/archer) as "Shred Zeppelin!"

HOOVES FOOTWEAR has partnered with Gravis Footwear to design to create a premium, limited-edition, core Metal shoe. HOOVES' first signature shoe, THE BEAST, is limited edition and will be released on June 1. The goal of HOOVES FOOTWEAR is to supply bands and other metalheads with a new shoe that fits the lifestyle, and to promote the metal scene and metal music as a whole. "We wanted to create a show that fit the metal lifestyle," says Raskulinecz. "We've always had to borrow from others when it came to comfortable sneakers. It just wasn't right. Back in the 80's it was the black & red Air Jordans. Then there were the Pumas, the Vans, the Converse I mean, we rocked them, and these brands are all great in their own ways, but nothing had the total package, nothing screamed metal!" THE BEAST is a black leather, bad ass high top that embodies the dark, evil nature of the metal lifestyle to its core. With a deep red pentagram lining, a skeletal blood stained insole and the HOOVES mantra embroidered on the tongue tag, these shoes personify metal. THE BEAST from HOOVES FOOTWEAR is scheduled for delivery in June '08 at a select group of core retailers and online at HOOVESARMY.COM. HOOVES will be celebrating the release of THE BEAST with a launch party in the LA area on May 24th. FILTER SET TO KICK OFF FIRST TOUR IN NEARLY SIX YEARSAPRIL 24 IN AUSTIN, TEXAS; NEW CD 'ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED' OUT MAY 13 VIA PULSE RECORDINGSAs they prepare to release their new CD ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED May 13 via Pulse Recordings, FILTER have announced their first tour in nearly six years. The first leg of this U.S. trek--a mix of headlining shows, radio festivals and special engagements--begins April 24 at Emo's in Austin, Texas, to be followed by three June shows overseas in Germany and the U.K. Earlier this month, FILTER made a special appearance for the troops in Kuwait when they performed at the March 10 Operation MySpace concert. While on tour, FILTER will preview songs from ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED alongside such FILTER classics as "Hey Man, Nice Shot," "Take a Picture" and others. ANTHEMS FOR THE DAMNED--produced by Pulse Recording head Josh Abraham--features the first single "Soldiers of Misfortune"; its been one of the most added tracks on the active and alternative radio charts the past two weeks with airplay on stations such as KDGE (Dallas), KTBZ (Houston), Q101 (Chicago), KPNT (St. Louis), WBCN (Boston), KQRC (Kansas City), KXXR (Minneapolis), WEBN (Cincinnati) and WBUZ (Nashville), to name a few. PATRICK describes the soaring anthem--with its U2/Bowie flavor and stacked backdrop of buzzing electric guitars--as a "sardonic anti-war/pro-troops song." The first-person narrative was inspired by a letter from a FILTER fan who had enlisted in the Army reserves to get his college tuition paid; in his final year of college, he was shipped off to Iraq where he died from a rocket attack and small arms fire after just a few days of duty.

'REQUIEM'A New JOHN 5 Instrumental Masterpiece Releases JUNE 3RD on 60 Cycle Hum "Such a nice guy; such evil notes. Blood on the strings!"….Paul Gilbert HOLLYWOOD (April 25, 2007) Once again the dark passages of John 5s mind worked over time to bring to you another outstanding macabre instrumental. REQUIEM is John 5s fourth solo album due out June 3rd on 60 Cycle Hum. By definition REQUIEM is prayer for the salvation of the soul(s) of the departed, REQUIEM is also the title of various musical compositions used in such liturgical services. In the case of John 5, REQUIEM is a mind-blowing, sinister guitar instrumental with song titles named after torture devices. "I find the macabre fascinating, it's all over history. In researching the torture devices I heard music to describe each one," explains John 5. John 5 performs all instruments with the exception of the time-keeping by Zombie band-mate Tommy Clufetos (drums). The album was recorded in the middle of night that lent a cool vibe and only time John 5 had studio times. Most of the songs are 1213 minutes long so John 5 decided to put in markers to divide them up so when songs change from track to track it seems to meld in to each other. John 5 has created a worldwide following as a widely respected guitarist with such platinum artists as Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth, Rob Halford and now an integral member of Rob Zombie. John 5's eclectic influences combine for a truly unique guitar oriented record that once again sets new standards in the genre.

But in the realm of heavy metal, there has never been a double vinyl (now disc!) concept album that has managed to balance a thought-provoking storyline with metallic thunder. That was, until now. Metal legends JUDAS PRIEST will be releasing their sprawling double disc concept album, 'Nostradamus' via Columbia Records on Monday, June 16th in the UK/Europe, and a day later in the US on Epic Records. Long in the works, 'Nostradamus' takes epic storytelling to a whole new level, as it recounts the life of this mysterious, world-known 16th Century French prophet. Some of the events that Nostradamus experts have interpreted as his predictions include the great fire of London in 1666, the rise of Adolf Hitler, and most recently, 9-11, among countless other renowned events. "As in any concept piece, the lifeline needs to be of a solid source, taking the music over many levels of interest and perception," points out singer Rob Halford. "Nostradamus' contains new frontiers explored and defined. The sense of adventure and the journey we undertook bringing the man's life alive with metal was a real labour of love." As with all new Priest releases, the group - singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill, and drummer Scott Travis - will embark on a mammoth worldwide tour in support of 'Nostradamus.' Priest will be performing at the 2008 Download Festival - on a bill also featuring Kiss - which will serve as a 'homecoming' of sorts for the group, as they performed at the first-ever 'Monsters of Rock Festival' at Donington Park in 1980. Since 1974, Judas Priest has been one of heavy metal's most successful bands, issuing such all-time classic albums as 1980's 'British Steel,' 1982's 'Screaming for Vengeance,' and 1990's 'Painkiller,' and such arena-rocking anthems as "Breaking the Law," "Living After Midnight," and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'." However, Priest's influence goes far beyond their music - they were the first metal band to embrace the 'leather biker look,' a fashion that has since become synonymous with the musical genre. Additionally, Halford's powerful four-and-a-half octave vocal range and the twin guitar harmonies of Downing and Tipton have been 'studied' by countless metal bands in Priest's wake. "The 'Nostradamus' album - above all others - is perhaps the one I'm most proud of," says Tipton. "Whilst in essence and character still very much Judas Priest, it has afforded the opportunity to explore areas of classical and operatic dimensions that the band normally wouldn't. As a guitarist and writer it has inspired me to greater heights and opened new doors to intrigue and passion. From start to finish, it will take you through a magical experience filled with light, shade, drama, melody and emotion that reflects this unique man and his life." "For me, 'Nostradamus' has been a musical journey without comparison," adds Downing. "The intrigue and mystery that surrounds this revered man has expanded my perception of heavy metal to the highest plateau and enabled me to reach the outer limits of my imagination and transport unique feelings and emotions to the instrument that allows me to express myself." In addition to the regular jewel case double CD version of the album, collectors will undoubtedly be interested in hunting down a copy of a Deluxe Double CD housed in a 48 page hardbound book package. But that's not all - a Super Deluxe Box-set version will also be available with triple vinyl, the double CD, an expanded booklet & a poster. Most bands of this high stature would be happy to play it safe. But not Judas Priest, who continue to take chances and break new ground. No other rock band could have pulled off such a grand statement, and Judas Priest have raised the bar once more with 'Nostradamus.' As to why they chose to make a concept album about Nostradamus, Tipton explains: "We didn't - he chose us. We feel it was meant to be!" To get a taste of what awaits for you within 'Nostradamus,' go to livenation.com/judaspriest on Monday, April 21st to download exclusive free mp3 of the album's title track, as well as view the world premiere of the album cover art.

Don't miss Testament's crushing live performances! Upcoming Testament US tour dates: Testament with Judas Priest: LEATHERWOLF - 'Dr.Wicked' video posted; Kansas City Power Metal Fest 2008 co-headline appaearanceApril 19, 2008 - Legendary Southern California Triple Axe Attack, LEATHERWOLF, have posted a brand new video for the song 'Dr. Wicked (Rx O.D.)' off the band's current studio album, 'New World Asylum.' The clip, which can be viewed HERE, was directed by Karpis Makusdian who also lensed the group's 2006 video for 'Behind the Gun.' 'New World Asylum', released on the group's NIL8 label, marks the return of original vocalist/guitarist Michael Olivieri who had left the band termporarily in 2003 and was replaced by Wade Black (ex-CRIMSON GLORY). The album was mixed by noted Danish producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, ROB ROCK, MERCENARY) at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark. 'Dr.Wicked (Rx O.D.)', which was inspired by the infamous 'Dr. Death', Jack Kevorkian, who was released last year after serving 8 years in a Michigan prison for second-degree homicide for aiding in the death of a terminally ill patient, deals with the subject of assisted suicide. "It's a controversial subject matter for sure but one that concerns all Americans and everyone else for that matter", states co-producer/drummer Dean Roberts. "How do you balance the right to choose when and how you want to exit this mortal coil, which is very much a personal thing, and at the same time safeguard against abuse where individuals may want to play God with your life." On the live front, LEATHERWOLF have been confirmed as co-headliners for the inaugural edition of the Kansas City Power Metal Fest, set to take place August 8-9 at the The Riot Room in Kansas City, Missouri. LEATHERWOLF will perform on Friday, August 8 alongside fellow Californians CAGE, PHANTOM X, SEVENTH CALLING and others.
