Release Date: May 19th

STRAPPING YOUNG LAD: Debut Album Reissue To Include Bonus Material Century Media Records will re-release STRAPPING YOUNG LAD's 1995 debut album, "Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing", in Europe on June 12. The re-issue features a re-mastered version of this classic debut, four bonus tracks, the "S.Y.L." video and a 12-page booklet with extended liner notes from Devin Townsend himself. As Devin recalls, "I had finished with THE WILDHEARTS just prior to this [1994], and they were so anti-everything that I decided to take a similar approach while focusing on dissonance and just being as over-the-top as I could. Songs didn't really matter; it was just the intensity and the vibe plus lots of humor. Screaming and laughing are pretty close, I think, and I have just never been 'hard,' so we do what comes naturally, right? Right." "Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing" (re-issue) track listing: 01. S.Y.L. (4:46) 02. In the Rainy Season (4:37) 03. Goat (3:30) 04. Cod Metal King (5:08) 05. Happy Camper (Carpe B.U.M.) (3:01) 06. Critic (4:08) 07. The Filler – Sweet City Jesus (5:24) 08. Skin Me (3:30) 09. Drizzlehell (3:10) 10. Satan's Ice Cream Truck (2:34) (hidden bonus track from original pressing) 11. Japan (5:17) (originally a Japanese bonus track) 12. Monday (5:13) (previously unreleased bonus track) 13. Exciter (6:04) (European bonus track from original version; JUDAS PRIEST cover version) + "S.Y.L." video clip (4:50)

The new album - For The Love Of Art And The Making is one ongoing composition containing 43 sections. It is 1 track of about 40 minutes. The concept is abstract and at times almost surreal. It deals with the larger things in life. Such as life, death, love, the very essence of being dishonest, lies, sin, the essence of truth, the essence of creating, art, theft, moral values, bdsm, freedom, sadness, joy, anger, every possible emotions humans have, human nature. But most and foreall the concept deals with the passion for composing, creating, art and the essence that is music. The composition is unique in different ways. It is one ongoing composition - a symphony/metal opera with a concept you could call it but it is not really covering the essense of it. The composition is devided into different sections/orchestrations fully packed with Beyond Twilight details both musically and lyrically. Here's a few examples. Try counting how many times "In The Eyes Of My Soul" is introduced and how. Another "key piece" - "The Black Box Of Reverse" - note "Sleeping Beauty" is composed backwards. But not restricted to backwards as composition. The melodyline is composed and played backwards. The bassline is composed and played backwards as if it was recorded backwards. There's a quite a difference of playing composed and recorded backwards. This is a mix between both in one composition. A mathematical challenge but also deep in the essence of composing and of the very soul of music if you analyse it closer. Another key piece "Past The Magic" is compositions containing compositions in the compositions made of rhytmic laughter. If you analyse the music and lyrics you'll find many more details. The music includes several hundreds tracks and the complexity is beyond anything we've ever released. You can say many things with words but you can say so much more with music. The concept is compounded by 43 sections and 3 hidden sections. The sections are (pieces of a puzzle). Lyrics and music both play important roles. Each section has it's own life/story and every section is a brick of the whole puzzle. Depending on in which order you listen to the pieces of the puzzle you'll get a new picture of For The Love Of Art And The Making. So you can really understand this piece of work in numerous different ways. It's up to you how you gather the puzzle. "It is a great joy musically for us all to release this album and it pleases us personally in many ways. This album is most and foreall for our fans and for ourselves. It is not exactly something for easy-listeners - it is deep - very deep. You will have to give it quite a few spins in the cd player to get the understanding of the dephts of this unique album. Enjoy!"

HAMMERFALL Working On 'Wide Range of Songs' For New Album HAMMERFALL guitarist Oscar Dronjak has posted the following message on his blog: "Spring is late in coming this year, more snow today. Unbelievable! Makes you a bit lazy, I have to admit. In fact, that's what I have been songwriting-wise for the past few weeks, not much has happened. "This is where we stand at the moment: Seven songs for the new album are all but finished on my part, Joacim [Cans, vocals] is hard at work on the five he has gotten from me so far. Stefan [Elmgren, guitar] has been involved in two of these seven songs, writing most of one completely by himself (a first for a track with vocals). We have a wide range of songs this time around as well, and I have a very good feeling about the material so far. And since the recordings will commence in a just over two months, that is a comforting feeling to have, let me tell you!"

The album will be supported with a massive promotional campaign beginning on September 17, when the band will kick off a 90-date tour of Europe.
