| DOBULE DRAGON: Enter Studio To Record Debut Album. |
|
|
 |
 DoubleDragon writes "Australia's DOUBLE DRAGON have entered the studio to record their highly anticipated debut album titled 'Devastator'.
After releasing their debut EP 'Scars Of Fire' in 2006, the critically acclaimed release took the band to new heights, headlining shows across Australia and also landed them supports with international metal acts Slayer, Mastodon, Cephalic Carnage, Black Dahlia Murder, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity and also landed them a spot on the Australian music festival, The Big Day Out. Double Dragon have returned to the studio with producer Ian Miller, promising to make a work of metal that will stand the test of time and cement Double Dragon in Australian metal history.
As for the songs, vocalist Lee states "This is our heaviest work to date, and in hindsight its probably the sound we have been searching for since day 1. There are new elements to the songs, alot more experimentations but at the same time we have concentrated on our strengths, which essentially is twin guitar harmonies, groove and lots of melodic riffs".
"Lyrically the songs are darker, and the vocals will be a heavier than previous Double Dragon releases, but we have also written a couple of ballady type tracks, more classic rock in the vein of mellow Black Sabbath. We will always be a metal band, but the freedom of playing metal music gives us alot of room to experiment with different sounds, and I think our weed smoking fans will understand where we are coming from with the mellow tracks. I really feel these songs are going to be great live, and I cant wait to hit the road again and show the world a good ole fashioned Australian metal ass kicking".
'Devastator' is due for release in June 2008."

| Tim Owens Replaced As Matt Barlow Rejoins With ICED EARTH. |
|
|
|
ICED EARTH mainman and guitarist Jon Schaffer has issued the following statement on the departure of singer Tim Owens and the return of Matt Barlow:
"It will be sometime before I'm going to be doing press due to the holidays and the fact that I'm still deep in the final writing process of ['Something Wicked' album] Part 2. I'm aware that the news of Matt coming back into to the band has taken many people by surprise so I'll try to explain the situation a little better.
"I do love Tim's voice and it is the kind of voice I hear when I write, and he's a really cool person. And I do not want an unnecessary war of words started because certain journalists like to create controversy to sell their magazines. I love Tim as a person, a friend and a musician, and I do not have negative feelings towards him at all. We would all appreciate it if the trash pedlars would respect the situation and keep their venomous speculations to themselves. An unlikely request I'm sure, but it would be nice. On the other side, Matt and I are brothers and there was a very deep and spiritual connection that came through in the music that we created and performed together over the years.
"ICED EARTH has always been about passion and honesty in the music — I'm talking about real, raw emotion. That's what has always made the relationship between the band and the fans a very special thing and it is the thing that made the chemistry that Matt and I had together so special.
