SCREAMS WORLD MUSIC

Watain Bio:

Watain was formed in 1998 and have since then released three fullength albums; "Rabid Death's Curse" in 2000, "Casus Luciferi" in 2003 and in february 2007; the highly acclaimed "Sworn to the Dark".

The band has embarked on several tours across the world, together with bands such as Dissection, Angelcorpse and Celtic Frost. This together with their extensive list of exclusive gigs and festival-appearances has resulted in Watain becoming globally infamous and highly acclaimed for their blood-drenched, fiery performances, being ceremonies of radiant madness and the blackest metal fanaticism.

After the release of "Sworn to the Dark" in early 2007, Watain went out on their giant Fuck the World Tour reaching through Europe, North America, South America and Mexico. The last 111th date was held as a commemoration of the bands 10 year anniversary, in Uppsala, Sweden.

The world now holds its breath as it has been announced that Watain shall release their long-awaited fourth fullength album "LAWLESS DARKNESS" on June 7th 2010.

Watain performs Black Metal in it's original form; dangerous, passionate, sinister and magical. Drenched in blood, swept in mystery, shunning no sacrifice. You have been warned.

Vital Remains Bio:

The definition of extreme can be interpreted in many ways, VITAL REMAINS, however, takes its meaning to a whole new level, be it through using their instruments as weapons for mass annihilation or through unrelenting, blasphemous lyrics that display their hatred of religion and all that it stands for. Add death metal Legend Glen Benton (DEICIDE) to the mix, and you have all the elements of a Nuclear Warhead waiting to explode on the unsuspecting masses. Very few extreme metal bands are able to reinvent their musical styles, yet VITAL REMAINS are one of the few to stand the test of time.The group formed in 1989 in Providence, RI, and after recording two demos, they signed to Peaceville's subsidiary Deaf Records. They soon recorded the legendary cult albums Let Us Pray and Into Cold Darkness, but due to poor distribution and promotion from the label, the band asked to be let go from the contract. Two years later they signed a two album deal with French label Osmose Records and unleashed Forever Underground and Dawn of The Apocalypse.The dark lords revamped their line-up in 2001 with original member Tony Lazaro on guitars, Dave Suzuki on bass, drums and lead guitars and Glen Benton on vocals. They also signed a new deal with Olympic Recordings to unleash Dechristianize, an album that all other bands in the genre will soon strive to conquer. This 9-track epic, recorded at Morrissound Studios (Morbid Angel, Six Feet Under) combines melody with an evil atmosphere and a traditional metal feel, with no shortage of satanic verses. Lazaro put it best when he described the new album: "It's got the brutality, but also it's very dynamic and textured. " The world of extreme metal will soon be rejuvenated as VITAL REMAINS return to Dechristianize the weak and lay waste to the non-believer!

Unleased Bio:

Unleashed was formed in Stockholm, Sweden in November 1989, and sprang from the ashes of the pioneer Death Metal band Nihilist.
Unleashed, along with a few more bands founded what is today called the Swedish Death Metal scene. There has been very few lineup changes throughout the years and today the band consists of

Johnny – Bass and Vocals
Fredrik – Lead guitar
Anders – Drums
Tomas – Rhythm guitar.

We set out to first and foremost be a live act. The bands musical vision was to keep to the roots and develop within our own style of music instead of changing with the winds. To this day, that is still our vision.

Lyrically, Unleashed introduced the”viking traditions and values” into death metal music back in 1989.
And we strive to be the Chief Vikings of Swedish Death Metal. Meaning that we aim to lead and define the future of viking death metal. Defending and developing the content of these traditions and values into the everlasting future.

Unleashed has made numerous world tours and festivals since the start in 1989. Both as a support and headlining act. Wherever there is a demand created by a good number of unleashed warriors, the band will go.

Job For A Cowboy Bio:

Glendale, AZ extreme metal unit JOB FOR A COWBOY blend stunning musicianship and cutting edge song craft to create the absolute embodiment of modern day extreme music. The fast-rising band, known for their intense songs, explosive live performances and forward thinking vision, will release their highly anticipated full-length debut, entitled GENESIS on May 15 via Metal Blade Records.
JOB FOR A COWBOY formed in December 2003 with vocalist Jonny Davy, (then 16), and guitarists Andrew Arcurio and Ravi Bhadriraju (15 at the time). The band was soon joined by bassist Brent Riggs and drummer Elliott Sellers and the quintet immediately began work on the material that would comprise their debut recording.

As work on new music commenced, JOB FOR A COWBOY began to hone their much talked about live show by playing a consistent string of shows in and around their hometown. The band's jaw-dropping live sets quickly put them on the radar of music fans in a number of different AZ music "scenes".

In the months that would follow, the band’s versatile fan base allowed them to share the stage with everyone from THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN to AS I LAY DYING.

In December 2005, JOB FOR A COWBOY released the DOOM EP. The band spent months of preparation in order to record "the most powerful set of songs they could". Consisting of six tracks of the band's punishing hybrid of grindcore and death metal, the EP became a launching pad that would rocket the band to new heights of popularity within the underground music world. Stellar tracks such as "Entombment of Machine", "Knee Deep" and "The Rising Tide" quickly became live favorites and the band stepped up the frequency of their gigs in order to satisfy what had grown into an enormous legion of devoted followers.

After a few lineup shifts, the group's current incarnation of Davy, Bhadriraju, guitarist Bobby Thompson, bassist Brent Riggs and drummer Jon Rice was cast into place. Not satisfied with just playing live in their hometown, JOB FOR A COWBOY relentlessly looked to book gigs outside of Arizona. On their own accord, the band set up live performances on the west coast and in the summer of 2006, played three shows as part of the second annual Sounds of the Underground Tour, where their fast-growing popularity made them one of the top selling merch bands on each tour stop.

Following the Sounds of the Underground dates, JOB FOR A COWBOY departed to the UK for a series of sold out shows where the band found that their quickly-growing buzz was not only limited to the U.S. The UK metal press raved about the band's technical prowess and JFAC's successful tour dates found mention in long-respected publications such as Metal Hammer and Kerrang.

In this day and age of video-sharing hubs and social-networking hotspots such as YouTube and MySpace, JOB FOR A COWBOY’s ascending popularity was sure to find additional like-minded fans and new supporters. And sure enough, it did. On MySpace, the band accrued over 6 million plays and upwards of 130,000 "friends", while the YouTube favorite "Job for a Sponge" – featuring the JFAC song "Knee Deep" as voiced by the affable Spongebob Squarepants and his horde of metal warriors – became an internet sensation that would soon see a number similar tributes (LAMB OF GOD, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, etc.).

JOB FOR A COWBOY would remain on the road during 2006 as part of the "Steers & Beers" Tour (alongside CATTLE DECAPITATION, MISERY INDEX, etc.) and as one of the featured acts of the 2006 "Saints and Sinners Festival", where the band shared the stage with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and UNEARTH among others. With an amazing work ethic, this exceptionally motivated group of young men has managed to build a bigger buzz on their own than most bands that have had the long-term support of a label behind them.

In June of 2006, JOB FOR A COWBOY signed to noted underground metal label Metal Blade Records and prepared to record their debut full length. Recorded at Blue Light Audio Media in Phoenix, AZ with producer Cory Spotts and mixed by the Grammy winning Andy Sneap (OPETH, ENTOMBED, MEGADETH), GENESIS is set to turn the extreme music world on its collective ear. Anticipation for GENESIS is such that the band has already been named one of "Metal's Most Important Troops for 2007" by Metal Hammer, one of Total Guitar's "Hottest Guitar Bands of 2007", one of Alternative Press' 2007 "Bands You Need to Know" and one of Revolver's "Breakthrough Bands that will be Kicking Your Ass this Year".

On the topic of the new album, JOB FOR A COWBOY guitarist Ravi Bhadriraju comments, "Genesis is a record that we as a band needed to fulfill. We wrote an album that we wanted to play live well into the distant future. If there is one word to describe our new record, it is "aggressive". We want this album to have a certain effect on the listener. I am happy with what we have achieved, and I hope our fans appreciate it too."

Vocalist Jonny Davy states, "We wrote the material that became the DOOM EP at a very young age and the sound of this upcoming record is a much different one than anything we've done before. We're anxious for its release and we hope everyone who hears it will enjoy."

Prior to the release of GENESIS, JOB FOR A COWBOY will head to Canada for a slew of Eastern Province dates. The band will follow with a trip to the UK and Europe as direct support to labelmates UNEARTH and U.S. tour dates with both DARKEST HOUR and CANNIBAL CORPSE.
