[QUOTE="the_reverend:212472"]--------- METAL UPDATE --------- -- http://www.metalupdate.com -- The Metal Update will deliver a weekly report to your email inbox. To sign up, go to MetalUpdate.com and click the SUBSCRIBE! link. The Metal Update is free. This week's Metal Update went out to over 15,640 subscribers. -- NEWS -- CRYPTOPSY Guitarist Jon Levasseur has announced that after 10 years in the band he is leaving Cryptopsy. In his statement he expressed a desire to "step back, lay low and explore other things in music." Levasseur also praised his former band stating, "I consider myself extremely fortunate to have broken through boundaries with some of the best musicians in the business." The band has announced that Dan Mongrain (Martyr) will fill in as the second guitarist for the dates on their upcoming tour. SENTENCED The band has announced that their new album, which will be entitled 'The Funeral Album,' will be the final record from the band. Sentenced stated in the announcement, "This album will be our last one. The decision is mutual, thoroughly thought over and final." The statement further explained that the decision was made in 2004 for many reasons and the band would play an "undefined number of farewell shows." A live DVD of the final shows is planned. LAMB OF GOD Lamb of God has been banned from The Forum in Los Angeles. The owners of the venue, The Faithful Central Bible Church, reportedly decided to ban Lamb of God because of their name as well as their previous name, Burn the Priest. Due to the ban, the band will be unable to perform on the L.A. stop of the 'Subliminal Verses' tour with Slipknot and Shadows Fall. MEGADETH Dave Mustaine is asking fans to help determine the tracks chosen for the upcoming Greatest Hits release. Fans are instructed to use this link to visit the megadeth.com forum: http://forums.megadeth.com/forumdisplay.php?s=1cdae2936010c7807d087938c1d4fde8&daysprune=&f=43 then follow the instructions posted on the "sticky" thread in the forum to vote for their choices. NOCTURNAL RITES Nocturnal Rites will headline "Demons of the Opera," a two day event planned for the evenings of April 1st and 2nd. The event will take place at the opera house in Umea, Sweden and will be highlighted by the band's performance with a 50 piece philharmonic orchestra, conducted by Hans Ek. According to the statement, two other bands, Persuader and 6th Awakening, will also share the stage with the orchestra, with other bands also performing "the good old fashioned way." Nocturnal Rites are currently working on material for a new album and have just finished shooting their third video from 'New World Messiah.' 'Lost in Time: The Early Years of Nocturnal Rites,' a collection celebrating the band's 10 year anniversary, is set for release on February 21st. BLOODBATH Bloodbath has been confirmed to make an exclusive appearance at Wacken Open Air 2005. This will be the first live performance by the Swedish death metal supergroup. Their latest release, Nightmares Made Flesh' will be released in the U.S. on March 8th. KATAKLYSM Kataklysm has been nominated for "Favorite Metal Artist/Group" by the Canadian Independent Music Awards. The awards will be presented at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, on March 2nd. Other nominees in the category were: The End, Malefaction, The Reason, and Three Inches of Blood. Kataklsym will begin their tour with Danzig on February 18th. NIGHTWISH Nightwish has announced they will delay their North American tour, which had been scheduled for April and May. The postponement was caused by solo commitments in Scandinavia for their vocalist, Tarja Turman. The dates will be rescheduled for September and October. A video single, "NEMO," will be released on April 4th. CHUCK SCHULDINER Manic Music has pledged a portion of their proceeds from the direct wholesale/mailorder sales of Chuck Schuldiner's 'Zero Tolerance' to The American Cancer Society. The two-disc set, which includes the unfinished Control Denied tracks Chuck was working on at the time of his death, will be available in the U.S. on February 22nd. VEHEMENCE Vehemence has chosen Sean Vandgrift (ex-From a Second Story Window) as their now vocalist. They will debut their new vocalist in April when they begin a tour with Crematorium, The Red Death, and Losa. Their west coast run in March with Thine Eyes Bleed, will feature temporary vocalist Bryan Edwards (Clifton). VISCERAL BLEEDING Neurotic Records will be reissuing Visceral Bleeding's debut album, 'Remnants of Deprivation' under the title 'Remnants Revived.' Scott Hull has remastered the recording, which will be issued with three extra songs and four video tracks. The release is set for April 18th. The band is scheduled to begin a week-long tour of the UK in May, followed by an appearance at the Rotterdam Deathfest on May 14th.

Please email me if you are serious: Jeff@JeffreyHayat.com -- FEATURES -- SUPERJOINT RITUAL http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewsjr.html Despite the many projects Phil Anselmo and Jimmy Bower were already in, they felt a need to start a project that portrayed the raw aggression found in old hardcore, punk and black metal. Since the formation of Superjoint Ritual, they have taken the metal and hardcore underground by storm. When Superjoint Ritual takes the stage, the atmosphere is reminiscent of old school punk, hardcore and metal shows complete with circle pits and stage diving. After two albums, 'Use Once And Destroy,' and the smashing 'A Lethal Dose Of American Hatred,' Superjoint Ritual has stormed the nation with a grueling two-year American tour. Metal Update spoke at Ozzfest with a very tired (possibly sedated) Jimmy Bower about Superjoint's Ozzfest trek, their songwriting, work ethic, and the formation of Superjoint Ritual amidst so many other side projects.
