| LEICOHTICA & NEVETHERYN Announce Joint Australian Tour. |
|
|
 |
 SMiM writes "Australia's multi-layered gothic black metal band LEICOHTICA and unconventional epic post-rock/metal act NEVETHERYM have announced Australian mini-tour dates for March/April 2008. The groups will be supporting their latest releases, "The Balance of Fire" and "Rendezvous", respectively.
Mar 28 @ The Brisbane Hotel, Hobart, TAS
Mar 29 @ The Central Club, Melbourne, VIC
Mar 30 @ Newmarket Hotel, Bendigo, VIC
Apr 02 @ The Bass Bar, Wagga Wagga, NSW
Apr 03 @ The Basement, Wagga Wagga, NSW
Apr 04 @ The Basement, Canberra, ACT
Apr 05 @ The Harp, Sydney, NSW
Apr 06 @ The Grand Hotel, NSW
According to LEICOHTICA's official bio, the group's latest CD has been described by critics as "defiantly beautiful and angelically graceful whilst simultaneously bearing the full force of hell down upon its listeners." To get this sound the band uses soprano, mezzo-soprano and baritone operatic voices with crushing death metal growls, furious double kickers and devastating guitar riffage to create its disobediently eclectic "beauty-and-the-beast" style.

| CHRIS BRODERICK Joins MEGADETH. |
|
|
|
 MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has officially confirmed that the band has parted ways with guitarist Glen Drover and replaced him with Chris Broderick (NEVERMORE, JAG PANZER).
"I've noticed [on the Internet] that people are pissed with me over the way things were handled with Glen quitting the group," says Mustaine, "but they're gonna be pissed even more when they hear how fierce we are with Chris! MEGADETH is playing at a new level."
In a November 2007 posting on the forum of MEGADETH's official fan club, MegaFanClub (accessible to members only), Mustaine stated about Drover, "sadly, Glen is having a really difficult time handling the demands of touring and we are finding that we are having to cut our European run down already, but that it is going to be one of the last long ones for some time."
Broderick will make his live debut with MEGADETH on February 4 in Finland, where the group — Mustaine, Broderick, drummer Shawn Drover and James Lomenzo on bass — is kicking off a long string of international dates which wrap March 14 in Bangalore, India.
