Jensen (The Haunted, Invocator), melodic vocalist Tom S.

DAVE LOMBARDO
Slayer is currently working on new material that will feature Lombardo on drums – in the meantime, Lombardo has completed drum and percussion work on two Fantomas albums that will be released separately – finally, Grip Inc.’s Gus Chambers and Waldemar Sorychta are working on new material that will be submitted to Lombardo for evaluation

FALCON
this new early 70’s style act is the brainchild of guitarist Perry Grayson (Artisan, Destiny's End) – rounding out the power trio are multi-instrumentalist Greg Lindstrom (Cirith Ungol) and drummer Darin McCloskey (Pale Divine)

KITTIE
the band Kittie and their producer, Garth Richardson, have filed suit against their record company, Artemis Records, citing numerous counts of breach of contract – the decision was reportedly made after an audit reported that the band is owed nearly $900,000 in royalties and other compensation and the producer is owed over $120,000

as they prepare for the upcoming tour with Sepultura, the band has invited school children receiving music instruction from a non-profit organization called Little Kids Rock to the Plant Recording Studios on April 11 for an exclusive rehearsal session where they will meet and interact with band members – in addition, Voivod is donating 13 guitars for the kids as well as some autographed Fender Precision electric basses to sell at auction

FEATURES

CULT OF LUNA
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewcult.html

The new Swedes on the block, Cult of Luna, refuse to pigeonhole themselves into any specific music genre. Despite guitarist Johannes Persson's declaration that the band is not metal, we run this feature with the understanding that metal is as metal does. Their latest output 'The Beyond' sees the band spewing forth heavy futuristic sounds, via their electronics-laced metal.
