			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-16487" title="borkncomp" src="http://highwiredaze.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/borkncomp-300x221.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="221" />Norwegian avantgarde metallers <strong>BORKNAGAR</strong> are now premiering their first single off their much anticipated new studio album, <em><strong>Urd</strong></em> (due out March 26th in Europe and March 27th in North America), via Decibel.com. Go check out the enthralling track &#8220;<em>Roots</em>&#8221; here:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/streaming-borknagar-roots/" target="_blank">http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/streaming-borknagar-roots/</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>BORKNAGAR&#8217;s</strong> mastermind Øystein G. Brun checked in to comment about the song:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;In regards to the depth, diversity and magnitude of our new album, &#8216;<strong><em>Urd</em></strong>&#8216;, it almost feels painful to slice off just a tiny bit of the bloody roast for the very first official &#8216;starter&#8217;. I would argue that each and every song on the new album stands on solid ground, but as usual with our music, the songs empower each other in the context of a full album.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That said, &#8216;<em>Roots</em>&#8216; is probably the song on the album that gives you the most representative impression of &#8216;<strong><em>Urd</em></strong>&#8216;. Musically it contains most of the elements that framework the musical universe of <strong>BORKNAGAR</strong>, and lyrically this song is gnawing on the very spine of our lyrical tradition. Hope you enjoy this song, the first tiny glimpse into our new opus. The beast is about to be unleashed&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The album&#8217;s artwork was designed by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco (<a href="http://www.P2RDESIGN.com" target="_blank">www.P2RDESIGN.com</a>), who has not only already worked on the band&#8217;s previous Universal release, but also with artists such as <strong>SOULFLY, BELPHEGOR, EINHERJER,</strong> and <strong>KEEP OF KALESSIN</strong>. The mixing duties for the album were taken care of by Jens Bogren at Sweden&#8217;s Fascination Street Studios (<strong>OPETH, PARADISE LOST, KATATONIA</strong>, etc.).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The track-listing for the album is below.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Urd track-listing</strong>:<br />
<em>1. Epochalypse</em><br />
<em> 2. Roots</em><br />
<em> 3. The Beauty Of Dead Cities</em><br />

<em> 6. Mount Regency</em><br />
<em> 7. Frostrite</em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-16482" title="attalossnews1" src="http://highwiredaze.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/attalossnews1-300x223.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="223" />Los Angeles modern rockers <strong>Attaloss</strong> are releasing their self-titled album on April 10, 2012, via Rock Ridge Music/Warner Music Group/ADA. Their new record showcases two sides of the band, the high energy blown out rock side and the stripped down acoustic side. Although the band name is a play on a common phrase many of us hear every day, there is an underlying message of optimism: “Even in these tough times, we must have hope for a better tomorrow,” states singer Danny Aguiluz.  The band line-up also includes: Chris Johansen – Guitar, Matt Geronimo – Guitar/Vocals, Lorenzo Perea – Bass, and Dakota Clark – Drums.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Danny, Chris, Lorenzo, and Dakota all left their respective hometowns and moved to Los Angeles to chase their rock and roll dream. Once they decided to join forces together they began the arduous task of trying to come up with a band name. After kicking around hundreds of potential names, they got news that their rehearsal studio was broken into and all their music gear was stolen. “Getting news like that was such a kick in the gut that we literally were at a loss for words. We realized in that moment that we had our band name,” said guitarist Chris Johansen who immediately began tracking down the thief. With Chris’ help police apprehended the suspect a few months later and the band’s gear was recovered mostly intact. Instruments in hand, they recorded the first five songs on the album in early 2011 and set out on tour around the country playing shows with such acts as <strong>Neon Trees, Smashing Pumpkins,</strong> and Patrick Stump of <strong>Fall Out Boy</strong>. Realizing they weren’t quite capturing their recorded sound live, they added guitarist/vocalist Matt Geronimo and headed back into the studio to record the acoustic half of the record as a five piece.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With a high energy live show the band is excited to get back out on the road and bring their new music to the thousands of fans that have been constantly tweeting for them to play in their city. The band plans to tour heavily in support of the new album (see tour dates below). “The fans have been amazingly supportive. This journey has been a real roller coaster ride but we have come out of it stronger than ever,” continues Danny. “Hopefully that message comes across and inspires people to continue chasing their dreams. Today is an ‘Open Door.’”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-16478" title="stellarco" src="http://highwiredaze.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/stellarco-300x209.gif" alt="" width="300" height="209" />PUNK / PSYCHOBILLY / MELODIC ROCKERS STELLAR CORPSES HEAD OFF ON ANOTHER TOUR; AIDED BY THEIR FANS/STREET TEAM AND THEIR OWN INGENUITY, THE STELLAR CORPSES HAVE BOOKED THEIR OWN TOUR, INCLUDING A FEW SHOWS WITH MICHALE GRAVES (THE MISFITS) AND MARKY RAMONE</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Los Angeles, CA: DIY to the core, Stellar Corpses, who just released their album “<strong><em>Dead Stars Drive-In</em></strong>” (<strong>Santa Carla Records</strong>), which has been gaining traction at specialty radio with first single “<em>Vampire Kiss</em>,” are embarking on another self-booked tour, including special shows with Michale Graves (<strong>Misfits</strong>) and Marky Ramone.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<strong><em>Dead Stars Drive-In</em></strong>” was produced by Joe McGrath (<strong>AFI, Tiger Army, Alkaline Trio</strong> and many more). “It was amazing to record in the same place that so many of my influences recorded,” lead singer/guitarist Dusty Grave exudes. “<strong>Black Flag, Descendents</strong> and <strong>Pennywise</strong> to name a few. And working with Joe McGrath was incredible. He helped us to make the best record of our lives. &#8220;We are excited to have some really special guests on the album like Hunter Burgan (<strong>AFI</strong>), Jade Puget (<strong>AFI</strong>) and Michale Graves (<strong>Misfits</strong>)!&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dusty continues, “I&#8217;m grateful to be an independent musician. ‘<strong><em>Dead Stars Drive-In</em></strong>’ is exactly the album that we wanted to make. So much of today&#8217;s popular music is inauthentic. We&#8217;re not hearing music from the artists&#8217; hearts, but instead we&#8217;re hearing what their record labels think will sell. We&#8217;re all so incredibly proud of how ‘<strong><em>Dead Stars Drive-In</em></strong>’ sounds.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Stellar Corpses</strong> hail from Santa Cruz and have become a fixture in its hard rock music scene. This is no overnight success story.<strong> Stellar Corpses</strong> met in high school and have been around, playing small clubs, building their fan base and doing whatever it takes to be able to create and perform music as their lifelong career. They’ve got the goods…now it’s time to get out there and prove it to a bigger audience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you first hear the band name “<strong>Stellar Corpses</strong>,” you probably assume it&#8217;s another death rock band. Not so. <strong>Stellar Corpses</strong>, which literally means “dead stars” in astronomy, are an amalgamation of punk, rockabilly, hard rock and even some melodic rock thrown in for good measure. <strong>Stellar Corpse</strong>s list their musical influences as <strong>Elvis, Black Flag, Social Distortion, Stray Cats, Bad Religion, Black Sabbath, AFI, The Misfits, Danzig, Rancid, Sepultura</strong> and <strong>Megadeth</strong>. With a mix like that, it’s no wonder<strong> Stellar Corpses</strong> blended their musical tastes into something really special.</p>

The album was recorded at Cellar Studio in Rome with producer Stefano Morabito and is the follow up to 2010&#8242;s acclaimed &#8220;<strong><em>Paradogma</em></strong>&#8221; (<strong>Unique Leader</strong>), which Decibel described as:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;<em>a bludgeoning slab of death metal in the Morbid Angel/Immolation vein&#8230;surprisingly catchy machine-gun riffs, blasting drum patterns and the occasional nod to grindcore brethren Nasum and Napalm Death. Gleefully damned&#8230;planet-cracking intensity. 9/10</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The band will hit North American shores for the first time the week of release, to <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-16475" title="seditionnews2" src="http://highwiredaze.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/seditionnews2-300x205.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="205" />support <strong>The Black Dahlia Murder, Nile</strong> and<strong> Skeletonwitch</strong> on a full U.S. tour, which includes a stop at the <strong><em>New England Metal and Hardcore Festival</em></strong>. Pre-order the CD on its own or along with a T-shirt or hoodie now at the <a href="http://store.prostheticrecords.com/" target="_blank">Prosthetic Store</a>.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Forged in the dark shadows of &#8220;The Holy Capital,&#8221; this most unholy of quartets have steadily been making a name for themselves as one of the most intense, talented and impressive &#8212; both in the studio and live onstage &#8212; modern death metal bands around.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unleashing a tour de force in maniacal death metal brutality, a celebration of music in its darkest and most inhuman form and with a brand new worldwide signing to <strong>Prosthetic Records</strong>, <strong>HOUR OF PENANCE</strong> have ascended to an even greater height of precision and savagery. Every population has its cancer, every movement its enemies. Be the wolf amongst the flock. Embrace the barbarity!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-16470" title="decibeltour" src="http://highwiredaze.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/decibeltour-194x300.jpg" alt="" width="194" height="300" />As previously announced, Swedish black metal miscreants <strong>WATAIN</strong> will take part in the inaugural<strong><em> Decibel Magazine Tour</em></strong> alongside <strong>Behemoth, The Devil’s Blood </strong>and<strong> In Solitude</strong>. The live ceremonies will begin on April 11 in Ohio and bloody 26 stages including a stop in Oklahoma City where the trek will merge with the <strong><em>U.S. Torture Tour</em></strong> featuring<strong> Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed, Abysmal Dawn</strong>, and <strong>Arkaik</strong> for an evening of audio devastation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pleased to take part in the event, frontman Erik Danielsson: “We were originally meant to spend this year in the shadows, focusing inwards and on the new material we have compiled during the years since <strong><em>Lawless Darkness</em></strong> was released. This tour however was a bit too good to say no to. It is so seldom these days that someone actually managed to put together a descent tour package, which <em><strong>Decibel</strong></em> sure has managed to do this time. A ‘clash of the titans’ indeed! And considering the other bands on the tour, I can just imagine our management and the promotors biting their fingernails in anxiety and horror, waiting for the first arson or murder report from the road. Touring the States is always inspirational; there is always lots of emotion, anger, debauchery, decadence and a general feeling of lawlessness in the air, so I am sure this tour will nourish the writing process to a certain extent as well. A rich and fertile foundation of harsh physical and emotional experience has always played a big role in <strong>WATAIN</strong> writing new material, and this tour will for sure contribute to that. We will aim to make it interesting and memorable enough to do so.”</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>WATAIN</strong> released the award-winning<strong><em> Lawless Darkness</em></strong> full-length via <strong>Season Of Mist</strong> on June 7, 2010. The record earned critical accolades internationally including a Grammis win &#8212; the Swedish equivalent to the U.S. Grammy Awards &#8212; in the category of &#8220;Best Hard Rock Band.&#8221; In addition, the album won #1 Album Of The Year status in Close Up and Sweden Rock Magazines, #2 Album Of The Year in Decibel Magazine and #1 Band Of The Year in Terrorizer’s Readers Poll.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>Darkthrone were once ‘for all the evil in man,’ but WATAIN turn good men evil</em>.” – <strong>Decibel</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>…Lawless Darkness delivers all the pure kvlt evilness you could possibly want.</em>” – <strong>Outburn</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>“Once again, WATAIN – combustible, ravenous and unrelenting – achieve a magical balance where all-consuming darkness (chaos) and brightly burning melody (refinement) wed to achieve the sublime (enlightenment)</em>.” – <strong>Terrorizer</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>A WATAIN show is a religious ceremony, a time for the band to pay homage to their Gods. The theatrics and evil imagery, the dousing of themselves in (real) animal blood, and all of [Erik] Danielsson’s philosophies on rejecting humanity for nothingness is their way of grasping at their own liberation</em>” — <strong>Portland Mercury</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“<em>Black metal bands seem to take pride in obfuscation: devising incomprehensible logos, concealing their faces with corpsepaint, releasing tiny-edition cassette tapes you can’t find even in the most obscurity-worshipping record shops. In a more strictly musical sense that means that you rarely find black-metal bands that play like WATAIN —heavy and dense but crisply defined. These scarily earnest Swedes summon a convincingly menacing thunder that doesn’t blur out of focus</em>…” — <strong>The Chicago Reader</strong></p>
