Wrath Of The Norsemen (3xDVD) DVD
Metal Blade Records

There probably isn't a band in metal that has received as huge a popularity boost in recent years as Sweden's favorite vikings AMON AMARTH. Want proof? Successful headlining tours of Europe and appearances in the top positions of festivals such as Summer Breeze, Wacken Open Air and PartySan. Furthermore, their last album "Fate Of Norns" climbed to an unbelievable position 31 in the German Media Control Charts, while reaching position 56 in Austria and landing 7th in the metal charts and 77th in the album charts in their home country. The follow-up to "Fate Of Norns", which is due out in autumn, is expected to be another step up the popularity ladder. In order to make the fans' unbearable wait a bit shorter, late April will see the first ever DVD release by AMON AMARTH, which extensively documents the band's triumphant rise during the last few years,. Entitled "Wrath Of The Norsemen", the 3 disc set comes in a deluxe 10-page, gold-laminated digipack, giving a new meaning to the expression "value for money". Main piece of the box is a concert filmed last August at Cologne's Live Music Hall, which went down in history as the longest show AMON AMARTH have ever played, with 23 songs altogether. Included is some serious viking battle action, tons of pyros and behind-the-scenes footage shot around the Cologne show. Discs 2 and 3 feature professionally filmed shows from Summer Breeze 2005, the Metal Blade Rrroooaaarrr 2005 (with a very special set list!), Wacken Open Air 2004, and the record release show for "Fate Of Norns", which took place in a sold-out Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg, also in 2004. Beware the "Wrath Of The Norsemen"!

The Black Dahlia Murder
Deflorate CD
Metal Blade Records

Still reveling in the wake of their ravenously received DVD spectacle "Majesty", Michigan's oddball sons of molten melodic death metal The Black Dahlia Murder return stronger than ever with their fourth thrashing opus, "Deflorate"! Classical-come-apocalyptic; violently energetic yet melodiously beautiful, "Deflorate" sees the songwriting of band leader and rhythm guitarist Brian Eschbach at its most developed and refined, exponentially complimented by contributions from both bass savant Bart Williams and newcomer guitarist/shred lord Ryan Knight (ex - Arsis), whose leads are destined to dazzle fans and take the band's punishing potency to dramatic new heights. Combined with the intense performances of uniquely charismatic howler/growler Trevor Strnad and rising extreme drumming star Shannon Lucas, the cannon of talent possessed by The Black Dahlia Murder is more stacked to destroy than ever! Multiplying the strengths of their past catalog with a reborn urgency and focus, the BDM crew forge steadily down the blackened path they laid with 2007's stunningly dark "Nocturnal". With pedal completely to the metal, "Deflorate" boasts the bands patented mixture of Swedish influenced thrash and black metal with blasting fury and crushing American muscle Recorded at the famed Audio Hammer Studios by production wizard Jason Suecof and engineering talent Mark Lewis, "Deflorate" is multifaceted death trip: beautiful, evil, and morbidly addicting. The Black Dahlia Murder has not surrendered their knack for writing compact, catchy death metal madness, and "Deflorate" is by no means an exception to the bands rule of 'all killer and no filler'... no punches are pulled, no gravestone is left unturned!

Cannibal Corpse
Vile LP
Metal Blade Records

Super-Heavy Floridian Death Metal This is the kind of stuff you listen to with the lights on. Not that it's easy to be scared. As the words are churned and ground to mere vocal road kill of their former selves by The Corpse Grinder (lead-singer), Vile features some immense songs by the only band to feature in Ace-Ventura for 30 splitting seconds! This album is worth a place in any good Death Metal collection.
