Denmark’s MANTICORA have issued the following update: "As some of you might have seen, our north American tour that was to take place in February/March has been cancelled. It is sad that we, for the 5th time, have to write about a cancelled tour for Manticora, but it's nonetheless the truth, and out of our hands. We will do our utmost in cooperation with Intromental Management to find a new tour immediately, so we can cover both north America and Europe this year. Please check this page regularly for updates. We are proud to announce that Manticora has been confirmed for the Castle Festival in Beograd, Serbia on July 5th 2008. The festival hosts names such as JUDAS PRIEST, HELLOWEEN, SODOM, AVANTASIA, etc., so it will be a cool experience. www.castlefestival.org. After 4 years of searching for a keyboarder that could join the band on the same terms as the rest of the band (not just a session keyboarder), we have finally found the man!! His name is Ronni Clasen, and he is living here in Copenhagen. Ronni is in his late 20s, listens to prog and power metal and is extremely talented = he fits Manticora very well, hahaha. Besides, he is a very cool guy to hang around with, so the social aspect is there as well. He has already performed with us at several occasions (Copenhagen, Romania, Germany), and passed the Manticora ritual at our annual X-mas lunch, so we know we have found the right guy for the job. You are welcome to send a big hello to Ronni on our forum. We think he'd appreciate it. Picture and profile will be updated later on, but there should already be some live pictures somewhere on this page. Touring news will come soon... The Mantidudes."

LOST HORIZON have issued the following update: "Almost five years have passed since the release of A Flame To The Ground Beneath and after the turbulence the band experienced. The remaining members now realize this period was necessary to regain the energy, strength, motivation and inspiration needed to continue with the unearthly creations. Only, this time things will be done a lot different than before. While continuing the search for the voice, which will be embraced by our music, the recording of the new material will be carried through independently of that and immediately, with start on January, 2008. All instruments will be successively fully recorded and maybe even mixed without vocals on. All skeptical or frightened by this procedure should know/be-reminded it was more or less the same case with Awakening The World album when Daniel’s (Heiman) vocals was post-mixed after the instrumental mix in Studio Fredman. Martin (Furängen - bass), Wojtek (Lisicki - guitar) and Christian (Nyquist - drums), the founders of the band, together with Attila (Publik - synthesizers), who all shared the same vision and goals, are once again the core of Lost Horizon and so it will remain in the future to avoid the destructible situations of too many wills and visions coming in conflict with each other. One Band, One Vision… - The Lost Horizon With this in mind we also have decided not to approach any offers of a record deal with record labels only to be cosmically ripped off, limited or controlled. We will take care of all studio and graphical matters by ourselves. Moreover, the material is not going to be recorded all at the same time, but song by song. If the singer problem is solved relatively shortly, then the songs will be available to buy directly after each one is totally processed and ready for the world. All songs will be distributed through the website. According to our philosophy we want to establish a direct channel between us and our fans where our music and artwork will be distributed directly from our website, supervised by Valgorth, The Apocalyptic Blaster Of Rats In Cosmic Fury, to avoid any annoying, irrelevant interference by any greedy companies making it impossible to make a living as an artist/musician unless you sell a million copies. This will be also your chance to join us on the path to bring back the music to the listeners and musicians, promote the music You love and make musicianship once again the beautiful art form it once was!"

Dobro nisu napisali "Grey Metal"

Evo jednog benda koji me potonjih dana odusevljava. Rijec je o The Foreshadowing-u koji dolazi iz Italije i svira melodicni Gothic/Doom. Clean vokal, sjajna produkcija, melodije koje vas diraju pravo u srce i tekstovi koji opisuju monotoniju zivota uz sve blizi cas apokalipse su neke od odlika njihovog, za sada, jedinog albuma "Days Of Nothing", koji je zvanicno izasao 22.oktobra prosle godine na evropsko trziste. Preporuka za Katatonia, Anathema, My Dying Bride fanove.

Ljudima koji nisu slusali Manticora-u preporucujem da prvo nabave album "Darkness With Tales To Tell", pa onda redom ostale

Svaka cast za MANTICORA-u!

S 5 odlicnih albuma

Bend koji sam uporno trazio

Lance King je svojevoljno napustio Pyramaze.

Brothers and Sisters! I'm sure that you are all well aware of things that are happening within Iced Earth, and a statement from me is well overdue. To that, I can only say that I am sorry for the delay, but there is good reason. Last week, following Jon's announcement, my wife gave birth to our second son. Everything is well, but of course, those of you who are parents know how taxing the first week can be. During that time, after all things had begun to settle, I realized that there are a lot of things on my plate. At this point, I needed to address them. As you know, family always comes first. Of course, Jon knows that and understands my decision to leave Iced Earth four years ago. My wife and I wanting a family was a huge factor. Family, is also the reason for my return. There is a kinship that goes beyond the obvious. I will speak of that later. First, I feel that I need to acknowledge my friend Michael of Pyramaze. If not for his inquiry and persistance in asking me to be a member of that band, I may not have realized how much I have missed and been missed within the metal community. In recent days, however, I have come to realize that my participation in Pyramaze cannot go beyond the recording of the bands current work. This is due in part, to the fact that I can't be all places at all times. Michael and I have discussed this, and have come to an understanding. I know that the future success of Pyramaze will not be based solely on individual performances of band members, but in the song writing and total performance of the band, which is excellent. I know that I will give everything I have to the record and will support Pyramaze on a lot of other levels. Let me proceed on the topic of kinship. For a great portion of our lives, Jon and I dedicated our selves to creating music that pleased, angered, saddened, and inspired. Though it can be argued that my contribution was limited, I always felt very proud of what we accomplished with every song. Whether a song was about a true love, a best friend, a ghost, a devil, or a savior; The songs that Jon wrote gave me the desire to engage each one on a very personal level. When Jon and I began to discuss the future of Iced Earth and his feeling on it's success or failure, he conveyed to me the desire to rediscover the passion of the songs that made Iced Earth so very special to so many people. In my journey of the last several years, I've had time to acknowledge that there are great stories yet to be told. Moreover, I have recognized my desire to be a part of those stories. As mentioned above, there are obvious time constraints where it relates to family, career, and music. One of those issues has already been addressed. As for my career in law enforcement, it will continue as normal. Without going into specific detail, Jon and I will work on recording on my time between shifts. As Jon stated before, live performances will be more limited but grander in fashion. We will do our very best to get to the metal masses as often as possible. Jon understands that this schedule will be tougher to work with, but feels that it will be the best for the fans in the long run. There will be critics, no doubt. It has recently come to my attention that some people don't like the police ;-) Let's see if opinion can change on that issue! As for the music, I will bring to Iced Earth the best performance possible. That has always been my desire, and I'm really excited to work with Jon and the guys again, to give you the best metal possible. If you think you're ready... let's do this! MATT BARLOW
