AS I LAY DYING Update from Tim Lambesis:
"We are having a great time on the tour. Our friend Mark has been doing
awesome filling is as a guitarist. Evan will be back playing with us on all
of our Southern California dates and then Mark we take over for the rest of
the tour. We have been writing a little on the road, but nothing really
important we won't be going in to the studio again for a while. We are
really excited for the Chimaira tour, this is great opportunity for us."

AMON AMARTH Update from Johan Hegg:
"We are back from the Art of Noise 2 tour, and at the moment we are
preparing to head out on the X-mass festivals tour in December. We'd like to
thank Nile, Kreator, Vader, Goatwhore and the crew for a great tour and a
great time. Last but not least we want to give special thanks to all the
fans - new and old - who came to the shows, who came up to us and said hi
and - most of all - those who bought us beer or booze. YOU FUCKIN' ROCK!"

next month or so.

"We had a great time this past Saturday when we co-hosted 94 WHJY's "The

UNEARTH update from the road:
"This tour is honestly has been just like a big group of friends rollin'
around drinking beer and hanging out. It's like a bitchin' kegger party!
Every night has been so amazing. We are the opening band and the kids are
really coming out and supporting us. We have been getting a great response
everywhere we've been and the energy from the crowd has carried from start
to finish at each show. We are so happy to be on this tour. We always loved
watching Headbanger's Ball and thought how cool it would be to be on the
show if it even came back, and now we are playing on the tour. It's just
truly amazing! After this tour we will be going straight into the studio to
start pre production for our next album. We've got about 8 or 10 songs now
and we plan on doing maybe 15 totally. We might go out a play some local
shows just to test out our new material and see how our fan respond." Ken -
Guitars


MTV News.com review from Headbangers Ball tour:
Unearth set the tone for the evening with their machine-gun rhythms and
hardcore intensity. The bruising tempo changes of "Endless" and the stomping
thunder of the new "Blood Lust of the Human Condition" marked their set. "No
apologies. It's the heaviest song we've ever done," said Unearth lead
vocalist Trevor Phipps of "Blood Lust."

**Unearth will be playing the New Jersey Metal & Hardcore Fest on Saturday,
November 15.

New album due out 2004... more information soon to come.

BLACK DAHLIA MURDER updates from Brian and Dave:
"We are really glad to have Trevor and Dave back in the band. It's great to
be able to work out your differences and get back to doing what we love to
do, jammin'. Since we are home we have been taking the opportunity to start
writing material for a new album. So far we haven't worked on any lyrics,
but we've gotten lots of music down. So far the style is the same as
Unhallowed. We haven't made any crazy changes yet. We are ready to go out on
tour with Himsa, it's going to be awesome and we are all excited to be
playing the New Jersey Metal Fest next weekend." - Brian Eschbach

"After everything that has happened in the last few months, I was probably
the last one to expect thatTrevor and I would be rejoining the Black Dahlia
Murder. But after about a month or so of talking and working through the
personal differences, we decided we would be fools to stay away any longer.
So far, we've been focusing on getting ready for our upcoming tours and have
been working on the songs for the next full length (which are coming
together fast and are proving to be some of our best to date). It feels
awesome to be working these guys again. They're some of the best musicians I
know and it's an honor to be back. Look for us on the road over the next few
months. If you have seen us before, you owe it yourself to check out the new
and improved tBDM." Dave Lock
