| 2009-10-08 | Converge: "Axe To Fall" Video Released | "Axe To Fall", the new video from the Massachusetts-based hardcore/metal band Converge, can be viewed here. It is the title track of the group's new album, which is scheduled for release on October 20 through Epitaph Records.
In August, Converge released the first track from "Axe To Fall", "Dark Horse", which Stereogum praised as having "everything you could want from a Converge song — knotty guitars, deep hardcore breakdowns, gnarled howls, and a triumphant blast of a finish — along with an updated dark-progressive feel you'll find threaded throughout." Since its release the Internet was set ablaze with swirling speculation of metal album of the year and mass critical acclaim.
Last month, Converge unveiled the teeth-gnashing title track from "Axe To Fall" on SPIN.com, who said "this foursome smash, crash, and destroy with foot-stomping appeal: Like a dropping guillotine, a screeching guitar riff falls into a cacophony of heavy guitar distortion, swelling bass, breakneck drum fills, and the hardcore screams of frontman Jacob Bannon."
Produced by guitarist Kurt Ballou at his Godcity studios in Salem, Massachusetts, "Axe To Fall" features guest appearances from Steve Brodsky (Cave In), Adam McGrath (Cave In), J.R. Connors (Cave In, Doomriders), Uffe Cederlund (Disfear, ex-Entombed), John Pettibone (The Vows, Himsa), Steve Von Till (Neurosis) and Mookie Singerman (Genghis Tron).

| 2009-08-20 | Gorgoroth: "Quantos Possunt Ad Satanitatem Trahunt" Artwork Revealed | The cover artwork for "Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt", the ninth album from Gorgoroth, can be viewed here. Due on October 21 in Europe and November 11 in the U.S. via Regain Records, the CD was recorded at Tomas Asklund's Monolith Studio and features Infernus on guitar, Frank Watkins (Obituary) on bass, Pest on vocals and Tomas Asklund on drums.
Since Infernus wrote all the music for the album and extensive rehearsals and a pre-production recording had also been completed before second guitarist Tormentor rejoined the band last year, it was decided that it would be more convenient for Infernus to record all the guitars on the LP.
"Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt" was produced by Infernus and co-produced/engineered by Tomas Asklund. It was mastered at the Cutting Room in Stockholm.
"Quantos Possunt ad Satanitatem Trahunt" track listing:
01. Aneuthanasia
02. Prayer
03. Rebirth
04. Building a Man
05. New Breed
06. Cleansing Fire
07. Human Sacrifice
08. Satan-Prometheus
09. Introibo ad Alatare Satanas
As previously reported, Gorgoroth recently spent time at Threeman Recordings in Stockholm with producer Nico Elgstrand (Entombed). During the sessions, Gorgoroth frontman Pest replaced Gaahl's vocals for the "True Norwegian Black Metal - Live in Grieghallen" album, which was originally released in June 2008 via Regain Records. According to a posting on the group's web site, Infernus (guitar) "has already consulted legal representatives regarding this album, and is prepared to support Regain Records in the label's ongoing legal conflict with two of the band's ex-members, if any such support is needed."
Infernus recently won a court battle against vocalist Gaahl and bassist King ov Hell over the rights to the Gorgoroth band name. According to a posting on Infernus' MySpace page, "The court has decided that King ov Hell's trademark registration of the band name Gorgoroth is NOT valid and shall therefore be deleted. The court states that King ov Hell and Gaahl excluded themselves from the band Gorgoroth when they tried to fire Infernus in October 2007. The court further states that Infernus cannot be excluded from Gorgoroth, unless he himself decides to quit."
Infernus filed a lawsuit against King ov Hell in September 2008 claiming that King (the sixth bass player in Gorgoroth's history) went behind his back in September 2007 and secretly applied for trademark protection of the GORGOROTH bandname and logo, which Infernus had been using since 1992
